OPTIMAL PHASE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LONGITUDINAL AND NORMAL OSCILLATIONS WITH PIECEWISE CONSTANT ACCELERATION DURING VIBRATORY CONVEYING
Authors:   Department of Engineering Mechanics (Weapons and Equipment of Military Engineering Forces), Hetman Petro Sahaidachnyi National Army Academy, Vrublevskyi Ihor
Published: February 2025

The paper is dedicated to researching vibratory conveying with longitudinal harmonic oscillations and normal oscillations with piecewise constant acceleration (two-component vibration) of conveying track in non-hopping modes of moving when particles slide without detachment from the surface when maximal normal acceleration that does not exceed the gravitational acceleration. The optimization criterion is the maximal value of dimensionless conveying velocity (the mean conveying velocity divided by the product of amplitude and frequency of longitudinal oscillations), depending on several dimensionless parameters, first of all, on the phase difference angle between longitudinal and normal oscillations.

The study considers several non-hopping modes of moving, distinguished by stages of movement during the oscillation period: forward (or upward on an inclined track) sliding, backward (or downward) sliding, and relative calm of particle’s movement. The maximal conveying velocity is achieved in different modes, depending on the values of several dimensionless parameters: the inclination angle parameter – a ratio of an inclination angle tangent to a frictional coefficient), the intensive vibration parameter – a ratio of the amplitudes of normal and longitudinal oscillations, divided by the frictional coefficient) and the index of asymmetry n – a ratio of the maximal acceleration of the track when moving down to the acceleration of gravity.

The conditions for the existence of optimal conveying modes in dependence of values of dimensionless parameters are researched. The equations describing the various conveying modes are considered, and the equations for optimal phase difference angles between longitudinal and normal oscillations are obtained for the various conveying modes. The graphs of optimal phase difference angles dependent on several dimensionless parameters are constructed.

Authors: Reinaldy Christian Panduputra  , Deden Novan Setiawan Nugraha
Published: February 2025

This study observes the illocutionary acts in the film "Midway" (2019) through the point of view of pragmatics and cultural context. By applying Austin’s and Leech’s speech act theory, the research identifies and categorizes various illocutionary acts and their functions performed by characters throughout the film. This research uses qualitative method in analyzing the movie. The analysis highlights how these acts contribute to the narrative and character development. In addition, the study examines the cultural and historical settings depicted in the film, considering how they influence and shape the illocutionary acts. This dual approach uncovers the interplay between language, culture, and context, providing a deeper understanding of communication dynamics in "Midway." With the types of illocutionary acts proposed by Austin, based on 8 data found, 3 data are Behabitive (37.5%), 1 data is Commissive (12.5%), 4 data are Exercitive (50%), 0 data is Verdictive (0%), and 0 data is Expositive (0%). With the functions of illocutionary acts proposed by Leech, based on 8 data found, 1 data is collaborative (12.5%), 4 data are convivial (50%), 3 data are competitive (37.5%), and 0 data is conflictive (0%). The research also brings 8 data contain practice (100%), 8 data contain perspective (100%), and 0 data contains product (0%).

Las monedas solidarias como instrumento hacia una solución alterna de las crisis en algunas localidades de México
Authors:   , Sánchez Vilchis Irvin
Published: February 2025

El presente trabajo tendrá por objetivo abordar la temática del dinero y la economía solidaria y como eje principal el de las monedas solidarias, monedas comunitarias o sociales, comúnmente llamadas también monedas alternativas, creadas en regiones o comunidades de personas excluidas en diversos casos socialmente -aunque todos las pueden utilizar-, para obtener un mecanismo de intercambio seguro e íntegro, que no presente cambios de valor por las turbulencias de los mercados, o algún otro factor que desencadene cambios, con el fin de tener un mecanismo alterno que mitigue los efectos que pudieran originar las crisis y que además debilite la desigualdad económica, social, y en algunos otros casos el ambiental. En el primer capítulo se definirá al dinero de uso legal, asociadas a las funciones del dinero y una breve historia de este, aunque no se pretende desarrollar el debate teórico; sí realizar una superficial referencia a este. Asimismo, se trabajará con la economía solidaria y algunas experiencias con respecto al trueque. En el capítulo dos se abordará a las monedas alternas en ambientes solidarios, así como su uso, además de los casos más representativos en algunos países en el mundo. En el capítulo tercero se analizarán brevemente algunas monedas comunitarias que han existido en México, en específico en Ciudad de México, Jalisco y Veracruz, con efectos benéficos y de desarrollo para el manejo de las crisis. Se incluirá un pequeño apéndice para tratar de comprender el contexto jurídico y terminando con unas breves conclusiones.

Effect of four fattening systems on quality of White Kołuda® goose products
Authors: Wojtycza Krzysztof , Gąsior Robert , Szymczyk Beata , Odrzywolska Angelika , Bielińska Halina , Wróblewski Wojciech
Published: February 2025

This study explored the impact of whole grain of oat, barley, wheat, and corn used in the final stage of fattening (14-16 week of age) on the properties of meat and liver of White Kołuda® geese, and variations between the examined tissues. Two identical experiments were conducted to enhance the credibility of the results. Goose livers showed significantly higher protein content than leg muscles and fattening with oats increased protein content in breasts and livers. Each fattening method resulted in the sum of essential amino acids ( EAA) exceeding the WHO standard. Barley and oat-based fattening yielded the most favourable results in terms of protein quality, often resulting in higher essential amino acid index (EAAI) values (161-179) compared to the other two groups (159-166). The White Kołuda® goose livers boasted elevated levels of most elements and demonstrated significant richness in both iron (Fe) (337 mg/kg) and copper (Cu) (304 mg/kg), substantially surpassing daily requirements in a 100 g serving. The products from the oatfed and barley-fed groups also exhibited elevated levels of several elements, while corn-based products typically displayed some of the lowest levels of most elements. The breast muscles displayed a darker colour with a redder hue and less yellowness compared to the legs. Additionally, the leg muscles exhibited the darkest shade when fattened with corn and the yellowest hue when fattened with oats.
Exploring the Use of Generative AI in Computer Science Education in a Technological University in Ireland
Authors: Gleeson Michael
Published: February 2025

This research explores the current use of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) tools in higher education, with a specific focus on their applicability to computer science education. The author draws upon Rogers' Diffusion of Innovation Theory (DIT) as its theoretical framework and includes a survey of 24 computer science lectures at an Irish Technological University (TU). The literature shows that while the adoption of GenAI is not significantly problematic in practical terms, it has several uses and advantages over traditional practices, and it can be applicable to all teaching, learning, and assessment by faculty. However, GenAI has not been as widely adopted as the discourse suggests. The results of this research show that the inconsistency in GenAI's performance affects its overall trustworthiness and reliability. This finding offers more depth and understanding as to why computer science faculty are not fully embracing GenAI. As the educational landscape evolves in response to advancements in GenAI technology, it is imperative to scrutinise the multifaceted and potentially long-lasting implications arising from the incorporation of GenAI in academic practice. The educational significance of this research lies in its ability to present an informed view of the current use of GenAI in a Technological University in Ireland.
Barns delaktighet: en mikrosociologisk studie av barn- och familjeterapeutiska samtal
Authors:   , Edman Kristina
Published: February 2025

Children’s right to involvement (sometimes referred to as participation) in child and family social work practices is widely acknowledged. While research on the benefits of children’s involvement is expanding, there is also a growing body of studies suggesting varying outcomes. Yet, knowledge of what children’s involvement entails and how social workers contribute to it is still limited.

The study aims to deepen the understanding of children’s involvement in child and family social work practices. Specifically, it seeks to generate empirically grounded knowledge on 1) how children exercise involvement, 2) how social workers contribute to children’s involvement, and 3) social workers’ and children’s perspectives on children’s involvement in child and family therapy sessions.

Drawing on 23 audiovisual recordings of child and family therapy sessions and 24 stimulated recall interviews with children and social workers in the recordings, the results of the study propose that children exercise involvement in diverse and overlapping ways. For example, a child may simultaneously respond to a question (participatory involvement) and express their standpoint (positional involvement) as well as their emotions (emotional involvement).

Moreover, the results illustrate how children’s involvement is co- constructed in and through dialogues. Social workers play an important role in these co-constructions, employing practices such as adjusting the intensity of what is spoken about and staying relevant. The practices are not rigidly defined. Instead, the results provide practical insights into how involvement processes can be continuously tailored and achieved in practice.

The results also indicate that children share similar perspectives on what involvement entails and what involvement-facilitating processes look like.Notably, the children’s perspectives were largely aligned with those of the social workers.

Finally, the results challenge the notion that children’s involvement is inherently positive (or negative). Rather than focusing solely on increasing involvement or achieving so-called “higher levels” of involvement, the results underscore the importance of working mindfully.

The Zimapan hydropower plant built in 1995 was the first project to take advantage of Mexico's City wastewater for electric power generation. This tropical reservoir receives pollutants that affect water quality from municipal, agricultural, and industrial wastewater through the Tula and San Juan rivers. The study considered the changes in the physicochemical parameters (surface to 20 m depth) for May (wet warm), November (wet cold-after rains), and February (dry cold) in seven dam sites: two lotic, two transitional, and three lentic sites. Mean values ranges were temperature 20.71-24.38 °C, 1.59-7.56 mg/l dissolved oxygen, Secchi disk transparency 2.26-3.98 m, pH 7.12-8.40, electrical conductivity 48-1334 µS/cm, total nitrogen 14.20-30.74 mg/l, total phosphorus 10.45-15.83 mg/l, and dissolved organic carbon 9.11-20.63 mg/l. In November, all the reservoir surface water was hypoxic due to increased dissolved organic carbon by river input. Even though dissolved oxygen has a seasonal variation, this reservoir has a sustainable fishery of tilapia and black bass (~400 tons/y). The dam is meromictic and hypereutrophic, with seasonal water quality variations with no significant spatial variations. Water quality variation observed in this study can be useful to Mexican decision-makers on water and fisheries management, prevent massive fish kills, and be a support guide for commercial and sport fishers.

Constipation in Pediatrics - a review of articles published in the last ten years
Authors: Ortiz Henrique
Published: February 2025

Objective: To carry out a systematic review of data from the literature on constipation in pediatrics to clarify what knowledge is available on the subject that underlies current medical practice. Methods: This is an integrative systematic review study using the BVS and SciELO databases, analyzing works published between 2013 and 2023 in Portuguese and English. Results: 20 studies were included, in which we can observe that the literature is divergent about risk factors for the development of constipation, but breastfeeding remains as a protective factor. The etiology and physiopathology of the condition are multifactorial and are based on a vicious cycle triggered by painful evacuation experiences. In order for the patient who usually has a low bowel movement frequency and abdominal pain to be diagnosed, there are constantly evolving criteria that currently comply with the Rome IV standardization. The treatment is based on 4 pillars: demystification, fecal disimpaction, change in diet and life habits and use of laxatives. Conclusion: It was concluded from the work that despite the constant evolution of knowledge on the subject, there are still gaps to be filled, mainly in treatment and diagnosis. In addition, it was possible to notice the report about the lack of knowledge of health professionals regarding the most recent updates in the literature.
Patriotic education at the university: measuring the level of patriotism of students based on a sociological survey
Authors: Filippov Timur Dmitrievich , Danilov Igor Albertovich
Published: February 2025

The article examines the patriotic education of university students on the example of the M.K. Ammosov North-Eastern Federal University. The aim of the work is to obtain up-to-date information about the level of patriotism among students as a result of the university's educational activities. The study is based on data from a sociological survey (N=1500) conducted in 2024. An adapted version of the "Methodology for Diagnostics and Criteria for Assessing the Effectiveness of Patriotic Education of Schoolchildren," developed by a team from the Institute of Humanitarian Research and Problems of Small-Numbered Peoples of the North, Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, was used as a tool for measuring the level of patriotism among university students. The methodology is a sociological questionnaire aimed at self-diagnosis by educational institutions of the effectiveness of their patriotic education. In the course of this study, the questionnaire was modified to take into account the specifics of the student audience. The methodology includes analysis and interpretation of survey results, comparison of indicators of the level of patriotism and student involvement in patriotic activities. The novelty of the study lies in identifying the discrepancy between the level of patriotism and the involvement of students in relevant activities, and in analyzing the possible reasons for this phenomenon. The survey showed that the majority of students (71.9%) demonstrate a high level of patriotic feelings. At the same time, insufficient involvement of a significant part of students in patriotic activities was revealed: only 7.3% of respondents are characterized by high activity, 52.3% by medium activity, and 40.4% by low activity. It was established that the system of patriotic education in the studied university is effective in terms of forming patriotic feelings among students. At the same time, it is necessary to intensify efforts to involve students in practical activities of a patriotic orientation. The article proposes measures to solve this problem, including the development of student self-government, support for youth associations, implementation of military-patriotic events, regular monitoring and evaluation of work effectiveness. The data obtained can be used to optimize the system of patriotic education in the studied university, as well as in other universities with similar characteristics.
Shape Effect of a Vertical Hollow Louvered Frustum on Natural Convection Flow
Authors: Padhi Avishek , Dash Sukanta Kumar
Published: February 2025

Using numerical simulations, the shape effect of a vertical hollow frustum with surface holes was examined by maintaining the Rayleigh number ([Formula: see text]) within a laminar regime while all the frustum shapes have the same surface area. The frustum was kept either in the air or on the ground. Here, the Nusselt number (for both inner and outer surfaces) as a function of the surface orientation ([Formula: see text]) gives a notion to the shape effect on natural convection heat transfer. A comparison of [Formula: see text] between the inner and outer surfaces and also for the straight and inverted frustums is made. For a straight frustum in the air, the outer surface has always much higher [Formula: see text] than the inner surface. At all [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], this behavior of [Formula: see text] remains consistent for an inverted frustum that is kept on the ground. Similarly, a straight frustum on the ground exhibits the same behavior within a broad [Formula: see text] range. Furthermore, the inner surface always takes the larger [Formula: see text] value for a straight frustum than for an inverted one when both the frustums are resting on the ground. With the exception of [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], the reverse is true when both of them are in the air.
Społeczności ewangelikalne w Polsce wschodniej do roku 1939. Postulat badawczy
Authors: Pełczyński Grzegorz
Published: February 2025

Wschodnie tereny Polski były szczególnie zróżnicowane pod względem religijnym. Żyli tam katolicy, prawosławni i wyznawcy judaizmu. Mniejsze grupy wyznaniowe składały się także z przedstawicieli różnych wyznań protestanckich. W artykule przedstawiono protestantów ewangelikalnych: baptystów, ewangelicznych chrześcijan, metodystów i zielonoświątkowców. Ich niewielkie społeczności pojawiły się we wschodniej Polsce pod zaborem rosyjskim już pod koniec XIX w., a niektóre po odzyskaniu przez Polskę niepodległości w 1918 r. Ewangeliczni chrześcijanie lub zielonoświątkowcy byli wcześniej wyznawcami prawosławia, które w carskiej Rosji było wyznaniem państwowym, podczas gdy w Polsce stanowiło jedynie mniejszość religijną. W dwudziestoleciu międzywojennym w Polsce mniejszości ewangeliczne liczyły 50 000 wyznawców, z czego nawet dwie trzecie znajdowały się na ziemiach wschodnich. Cieszyli się względną tolerancją religijną ze strony władz polskich do 1939 r., kiedy to Związek Radziecki zajął Polskę.
The religious meaning system as a conceptual construct of interdenominational approach: A psychological analysis
Authors: Krok Dariusz
Published: February 2025

The concept of religiosity as a system of meanings represents an interesting attempt to study the phenomenon of religion from the perspective of cognitive psychology, which considers the way in which individuals think and perceive reality. The religious meaning system can be conceptualised as an idiosyncratic system of beliefs concerning oneself, others, and relationships with the world, the essential feature of which is an inherent connection to the sacred sphere. Careful structural and functional analysis of the religious meaning system leads to the conclusion that it offers significant potential for application in interdenominational research within various Christian denominations. Justifications for this include the presence of the concept of a personal God, an inclusive nature in terms of doctrines and principles of faith, the absence of specific reference to particular cultural or historical traditions, and a holistic, global perspective on religious practices. The validity of using the religious meaning system in interdenominational research is confirmed by empirical research results, which have been conducted not only among Catholic groups, but also among Protestant denominations. This confirms that religiosity, expressed through the prism of the system of meanings, has a broader scope of application, unrestricted to any single Christian denomination.
The Church in the Czech Religiously Indifferent Society: An Ecclesiological Perspective
Authors: Vogel Jiří
Published: February 2025

The paper presents the situation of Churches in the Czech Republic and analyses the changes in the self-conception of the Czechoslovak Hussite Church in the context of a secularised society characterised by a high degree of religious indifference. The changes of this Church in the past century faithfully reflect the spiritual climate of the Czech religious scene. The aim of the paper is to show and concretise, using the example of three ecclesiologies of this Church (the ecclesiology of associations and their activities, the ecclesiology of fellowship, and the postmodern ecclesiology of the spiritual centre), how Christian communities can adapt to a religiously indifferent society, what obstacles they may face, and what one-sidedness they resort to.
The Mouse/Mousetrap Motif in V. Nabokov’s Novel Despair
Authors: Poleva E. A.
Published: February 2025

Purpose. The article examines the mice/mousetrap motif which is “peripheral” (B. Gasparov) in V. Nabokov’s novel Despair, but it is associated with the central motives of crime and punishment, self-identification, and relationships with a double.

Results. It is proved that the double-antagonists of the central character of the novel are allusively associated with the images of a cat / lion, and in Herman’s appearance and behavior associations with the image of a mouse can be traced. A significant piece of clothing is the “mouse leggings” that Herman takes off and puts on Felix before killing him. An attempt to replace or borrow the name of his double-antagonists counterparts testifies to Herman’s internal insecurity and dissatisfaction with himself.

The image of a mouse contains an allusion to Notes from Underground by F.M. Dostoevsky, and the final motif of the mouse, the image of a mousetrap, refers to the famous Hamlet scene. However, it is given in a transformed form in the novel: Herman appears as both a director, an actor, and a viewer, but does not feel remorse, does not sense a “trap”. Self-exposure occurs when Herman takes the position of the reader of his text.

Conclusion. The text created by the character becomes a «mousetrap», and in the absence of eyewitnesses, it testifies against the author, who turned out to be mediocrity and a criminal, revealing the failure of Herman’s plan to get rid of the “mouse” in himself and take the position of the “master” of his existence.
Representation of the Category of Certainty-Uncertainty by the Forms of Accusative and Genitive Cases in the Russian Language and Their Persian Equivalents
Authors: Estiri M. , Siyami Eidlak Kh.
Published: February 2025

Purpose. The purpose of this study is to present one of the main means of expressing the category of certainty-indeterminacy, or rather the opposition of the forms of the genitive and accusative cases, its semantics and ways of expressing them in Persian. The relevance of the study lies in the fact that Iranian students make persistent mistakes in Russian due to failure to distinguish between the forms of accusative and genitive cases of definiteness and uncertainty, due to the lack of a case system in the Persian language.

Results. The research material consists of examples selected by the authors from various types of scientific works and Russian language textbooks for foreign students. In addition, the research material included examples from the personal files of the authors’ mistakes, collected during monitoring of the educational process and the transfer process of Russian studies students at universities in the Islamic Republic of Iran. The study is based on such research methods as qualitative analysis, continuous sampling method and comparative method.

Conclusion. It was revealed that the opposition of the forms of the accusative and genitive cases, as the main factor in the spread of errors in the use of RFL by Iranian students both in the learning process and in the translation process, is transmitted in Persian by lexical and grammatical means. As a result, a classification of shades of opposition of the accusative and genitive forms of the categories of definiteness and uncertainty and their correlates in the Persian language was proposed.
The idea of literary immortality first appears in the Homeric epics: the heroes live on in glory. Further tradition develops this motif – we must imitate our heroes or ancestors, because only in this way will they be given due honor. But another (historical) understanding of literary immortality is also developing; it aims to save the past from oblivion, not to influence the present (written culture, as opposed to oral tradition, thinks in this way). Plato takes the position of “poetic” immortality in this matter, but he considered poetry in an ethical context and seeks to select poets who have the right to educate the youth. In the Hellenistic-Roman era, the semantic accents shift, and now the author himself claims literary immortality. The idea of the author’s immortality is mixed with the usual immortality in glory and with the religious immortality of the soul (the writer becomes a minister of the muses). Pliny the Younger’s position is limited neither to two “pure” types of literary immortality (“poetical” or “historical”), nor two “mixed” types (immortality in glory and immortality of a muses’ minister). Pliny outlined a new understanding of literary immortality – immortality as an exemplary author, as Cicero was for him.

Gods as Parts of the Soul: A quote from the Corpus Hermeticum in John Italos’ Treatise ‘On Threefold Existence’ (Qu. 68)

The deals with a quote from the Corpus Hermeticum (Hermet. XXIX) in one of the treatises (Qu. 68) by the Byzantine philosopher of the 11th century John Italos. On the one hand, this quotation is a scholia to the treatise – its author could be either John Italos himself, or his disciple or follower already in the 12th century – in the manuscript tradition “fused” with the main text. On the other hand, this scholia plays an important role, illustrating and developing the main idea of the treatise – at each level of being, the cause of this category of being is reproduced in a variety of what it is the cause of. Qu. 68 carries out this idea in relation to all levels of being, with the exception of the individual psychological level: it is this lacuna that is filled by a quote from the Corpus Hermeticum, where pagan gods act as metaphorical images for parts of a single human soul. A probable source of such teaching for John Italos and, possibly, for a later tradition is Michael Psellus, who in the treatise De omnifaria doctrina (O.D. 39-40), based on the commentary of pseudo-Simplicius “On the Soul” by Aristotle, speaks about the fundamental unity of all parts and properties of the soul.
Platonism and the Natural World: How far do Plato or later Platonists appreciate the Beauties of Nature?
Authors:   Trinity College, Dublin, Dillon John
Published: February 2025

Does the philosopher Plato, despite his elevation to a supreme position in the intelligible world of the Beautiful itself, or the Idea of Beauty, really exhibit any appreciation of the beauties of nature, or Natural Beauty? The omission of any mention of the beauties of Nature in Diotima’s ladder of ascent to the Beautiful Itself in the Symposium leads me to propose that Plato, in line with the sensibility of Greeks of the Classical period in general, does not possess what would later be termed an ‘Arcadian’ view of the beauties of the natural world; and even in the later Platonist tradition there is little evidence of such sensibility.

Emission Atomic Spectra. Customised Computer Modelling of Laboratory Exercises
Authors: Zaikin A. D. , Zaikin A. A.
Published: February 2025

This paper presents the experience of developing and utilizing computer simulations for student laboratory assignments in atomic physics, specifically focusing on emission atomic spectra. The fundamental component of each laboratory assignment is a computer simulator of a spectrograph, which displays atomic line spectra on the monitor screen. The simulator operates by converting the wavelength of radiation into an RGB triplet. The configuration of setup parameters and experimental conditions is unique to each student conducting the laboratory assignment using the simulator. Individualized parameters, stored in Google Sheets, are transferred to the HTML template of the laboratory assignment via the Google Apps Scripts service. This individualization of simulator parameters serves to encourage students to engage in independent work.

Background

Vascular anomalies show highly variable morphology, making clinical identification difficult. Dermoscopy is a non-invasive tool which can aid in their diagnosis, but studies of dermoscopy in vascular anomalies are limited.

Aim

This study aimed to describe the dermoscopic findings in vascular anomalies in children and evaluate their usefulness over clinical examination alone.

Methods

Consecutive children with congenital or acquired vascular lesions diagnosed by two experienced dermatologists after detailed history and examination were recruited. Predominant dermoscopic findings of a representative lesion were recorded in a pre-designed proforma with a consensus of two dermatologists trained in dermoscopy. In cases of clinical diagnostic uncertainty, suitable histopathological and radiological investigations were done.

Results

Sixty-one patients (33 tumours, 26 malformations, and 2 unclassified anomalies) were recruited. The most observed condition was infantile haemangioma (IH) (37.7%) which showed red lacunae and irregularly branched thick-tortuous and thin-serpentine vessels in mixed haemangiomas (30.4%), prominent lacunae in superficial haemangiomas (34.8%) and only branched vessels in deep and treated/involuting (34.8%) haemangiomas. Lacunae were predominantly seen in superficial haemangiomas (p=0.0498) and were missing in deep and involuting haemangiomas (p=0.0027). Port-wine stain (13.1%) showed irregular reticular vessels along with dots and globules with thickness of the network being proportionate to the darker shade clinically. In all, there were nine (14.75%) cases where there was diagnostic uncertainty using clinical features alone and histopathological/radiological investigations were required to establish the final diagnosis. In them, dermoscopy showed findings (as described in previous literature) suggestive of the correct final diagnosis.

Limitations

Histopathological and radiological investigations were done only in cases where the clinical diagnosis was uncertain.

Conclusion

Dermoscopy is a useful tool in differentiating between different vascular anomalies such as IH and capillary malformations (CMs) which have different management strategies. Dermoscopy may also be useful in differentiating superficial from deep haemangiomas and proliferating from involuting haemangiomas. It can also help in determining the depth of CMs. Thus, it can obviate the need for invasive diagnostic procedures in paediatric vascular lesions and can guide appropriate treatment and prognosis.

Hypoxia-inducible factor prolyl hydroxylase inhibitors (HIF-PHIs) are oral drugs for patients with renal anemia. This study aimed to synthesize evidence on HIF-PHIs for anemia in dialysis-dependent chronic kidney disease (DD-CKD) patients. We searched PubMed, CINAHL, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials databases and trial registries for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) reporting HIF-PHIs versus erythropoietin-stimulating agents (ESA) for anemia in DD-CKD patients. Two authors independently conducted screening, data extraction, and assessed risk of bias. We used RevMan 5.3 software for meta-analysis using standard methods. Certainty of evidence was assessed by Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development, and Evaluations (GRADE). We included 20 RCTs involving 14,999 patients with anemia of kidney disease. The studies included roxadustat (n = 9), daprodustat (n = 5), vadadustat (n = 2), molidustat (n = 2), enarodustat (n = 1), and desidustat (n = 1). Overall, daprodustat as an alternative to ESAs reported a substantial net benefit while roxadustat showed more damage than benefit as compared to ESAs. While other HIF inhibitors demonstrated little to no difference or small benefit, daprodustat reduces the need for intravenous iron supplementation up to 52 weeks as compared to ESAs [Odds Ratio (OR): 0.77 (95% CI 0.53–1.13); p = 0.18; two studies; 674 participants; moderate certainty evidence]. Roxadustat increased treatment-emergent adverse events up to 6–52 weeks as compared to ESAs [OR: 1.45 (95% CI 1.08–1.96); p = 0.01; six studies; 1715 participants; moderate certainty evidence]. The study provided evidence on the use of HIF-PHIs for treating renal anemia in DD-CKD patients as an alternative to ESAs.
