THE IMPACT OF BLAST-INDUSED TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY ON PASSIVE AVOIDANCE RESPONSE
Authors: Kozlova Yu. , Kozlova K.
Published: May 2022

Among military personnel participating in armed conﬂ icts around the world, blast- induced traumatic brain injury is common. Mild blast- induced traumatic brain injury is characterized by clinical signs in the form of impaired cognitive functions, including memory. In this regard, the objective is to study the features of the inﬂ uence of an blast-i nduced traumatic brain injury on conditioned reﬂ ex activity in the experiment. The studies were carried out on 18 white male Wistar rats aged 5-7 months, weighing 180.0-220.0 g, which were kept under standard vivarium conditions of Dnipro State Medical University. Selected rats were divided into three groups: I group – experimental (n=6), whose animals were anesthetized with halothane (Halothan Hoechst AG, Germany), ﬁ xed and simulated blast-i nduced traumatic brain injury by generating a baroacoustic wave with an excess pressure of 26.4±3.6 kPa on your own manufactured device. II group – sham (n=6), the animals of which were subjected only to inhalation anesthesia with halothane and ﬁ xation in a horizontal position, and III group – intact (n=6). The passive avoidance response was reproduced according to the standard method in a light-dark chamber with an electriﬁ ed ﬂ oor in a dark chamber. The latent period of entry into the dark chamber was determined in rats that had undergone preliminary training.As a result of the data analysis obtained during the experiment, it was found that a mild blast- induced traumatic brain injury leads to a violation of passive avoidance response on the 3rd day after the injury (lengthening of the latent time by 28-31%, p˃0.05), which progressed by 21 (100-79%, p˃0.05) and 28 (100-96%, p<0.05) days of the post-traumatic period. Taking into previous studies, the changes which we obtained are indicate signiﬁ cant secondary damage by biologically active substances, which lead to the launch of neurodegenerative processes and, as a result, memory impairment.
LANGUAGE BARRIERS IN VISITING LECTURER PROGRAM FOR NON ENGLISH SPEAKING STUDENTS
Authors: Putri Wulandari
Published: May 2022

The increased use of video conference platforms provides opportunities to invite foreign lecturers to give lectures virtually. Despite of beneficial impacts, inviting foreign lecturers might bring challenges to students using English as a foreign language. Therefore, this study was aimed at examining challenges faced by non-English speaking students in attending visiting lecturer classes delivered in English and the potential strategy. The study was an exploratory study conducted in a university in Indonesia. The study involved 118 students from a Study Program taken from two courses. Data were collected through observation and questionnaire. Findings show that language became one of the most challenging barriers in understanding the materials, mostly due to speaking speed of the lecturers and the lack of vocabulary. The lecture summary provided by in-class lecturers could be an alternative to improve learning process. Findings also indicate that the visiting lecturer program could improve students’ language proficiency, especially their vocabulary and listening comprehension. It concludes that visiting lecturer program has a potential to improve students’ language proficiency. However, it is important to provide strategies to help students comprehend the material, such as allocating time for providing a brief summary of the lectures in the student first or second language.

Authors: Nurzyńska Dominika
Published: May 2022

Motivation: The concept of Industry 4.0 is widely recognised, since technological development is an inseparable factor of the modern organisations functioning. Due to this, the interest in the subject of the 4th industrial revolution has grown in recent years. However, far too little attention has been paid to the measurement of readiness and implementation of key attributes in Czechia, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia.

Aim: The major objective of this study was to investigate the adaptation to Industry 4.0 in the Visegrád Group. Consequently, in the theoretical part both a historical context and a description of the main components of Industry 4.0 was introduced, which was the basis for the evaluation of the V4 transition toward Industry 4.0 in the empirical section.

Materials and methods: Both quantitative (basic statistical analysis) and qualitative (critical analysis of the subject literature) methods were used in this investigation. The research data was drawn mainly from institutional reports and Eurostat database.

Results: The investigation indicated that the transition towards Industry 4.0 in V4 countries is less advanced than in other European regions and need particular attention. Despite the relatively good results achieved in the field of robotisation, especially in the foreign-owned automotive industry, in general the Group lags behind the majority of Western and Baltic countries in terms of already adapted technologies, innovations and digital skills.

У дослідженні аналізується лікування нетримання сечі у чоловіків.Методи. Статті, які відповідають критеріям для включення до цієї оцінки, були оцінені та внесені до матриці синтезу. Результати дослідження, які відповіли на питання дослідження, були оцінені та згруповані в методи лікування.Результати. Лікування першої лінії ургентного нетримання сечі включає тренування сечового міхура та поведінкову терапію. Якщо ці заходи не приносять результатів, можна застосувати антихолінергічну терапію. У випадках, коли медична терапія не приносить результатів, варіанти лікування включають інтрадетрузорні ін’єкції ботулотоксину або нейромодуляцію. Лікування першої лінії для чоловіків із стресовим нетриманням сечі є консервативним. Це включає поведінкову терапію та тренування м’язів тазового дна/фізіотерапію тазових органів. Поведінкові втручання є переважно підтримуючими заходами в цій ситуації, які в основному передбачають втрату ваги для пацієнтів з високим ІМТ. Хірургічне лікування можна розглянути, якщо консервативні заходи не принесли результату. Як правило, будь-яке хірургічне втручання відкладається на 6–12 місяців після операції. Варіанти хірургічного лікування включають периуретральні наповнювачі, уретральні стропи та штучні сечові сфінктери. Штучний сфінктер є золотим стандартом лікування нетримання сечі після простатектомії, при цьому частота утримання після операції становить понад 80%. Змішане нетримання сечі має компоненти як ургентного, так і стресового нетримання. Лікування спочатку вимагає від клініциста визначити найбільш неприємну скаргу пацієнта. Часто це передбачає комбінований підхід спеціаліста, оскільки лікування одного може погіршити інший. Постійне нетримання сечі. Це може свідчити про розвиток нориці між уретрою за межами дистального сфінктерного механізму або серйозну недостатність сфінктерного механізму, що призводить до відсутності обмеження потоку. Лікування цього стану включає хірургічне втручання або пристрої для утримання.Висновки. нетримання сечі у чоловіків може бути виснажливим для людини. Психосоціальний вплив стану може змінюватися, і його слід оцінити перед плануванням спеціального лікування. Класифікація нетримання сечі може допомогти краще визначити основні причини та керувати клінічним лікуванням, хоча досить часто пацієнти мають складні симптоми, які зазвичай не підходять під жодне визначення.Ключові слова: нетримання сечі, чоловіки, терапія.
México en la región del Pacífico: procesos vigentes y desarrollos recientes
Authors: Ramírez Bonilla Juan José
Published: May 2022

El texto pone el acento en las condiciones de operación del comercio internacional de México durante 2018-2020, y muestra, por un lado, los vínculos comerciales cada vez más intensos del país con sus contrapartes de Asia del Pacífico; y, por el otro, las nuevas tendencias hacia la regionalización de las estrategias productivas y comerciales de las empresas transnacionales y el papel central que México podríaa desempeñar en ese proceso. En ese contexto, el artículo destaca la lógica “importar para exportar”, determinante de la especialización de México como productor y exportador de manufacturas. Siguiendo esa lógica, durante el siglo XXI la economía mexicana ha transitado de la triangulación comercial “importación de insumos provenientes de China, para producir manufacturas en México y exportarlas a Estados Unidos” a la cuadrangulación “exportación de inversiones directas de países desarrollados a países en desarrollo de Asia del Pacífico, para producir insumos exportables a México, para procesarlos y exportarlos a Estados Unidos”. En gran medida, este proceso es la consecuencia necesaria del diferendo comercial sinoestadounidense y ha estado acompañado de la exportación de inversiones directas e insumos productivos desde Japón y Corea hacia México, para exportar al mercado estadounidense. Del lado mexicano, estos desarrollos han dado inicio a un proceso de sustitución de insumos antes importados por bienes de consumo intermedio producidos localmente por las empresas transnacionales y sus proveedores localizados en México; este proceso hacia la regionalización de la producción y el comercio globales es reforzado por las perturbaciones económicas provocadas por la pandemia de la covid-19, y para México representa la posibilidad de transitar hacia la lógica “producir para exportar”.
Analysis of a scheme of reliable and safe heat supply of residential buildings with independent connection of the heating system
Authors: Samarin O. D.
Published: May 2022

The scheme of heat supply of residential buildings with independent connection to external heating systems is considered, providing reliability of heat supply and required comfort in indoor premises in case of cold snaps after the official end of the heating season or before its beginning through supplying water from the return main of the heating system after the hot water heat exchangers. It is established that an additional decrease in the temperature of the return network water that occurs in this mode allows in most cases to carry out its primary heating in the lower heater of the condensing turbine without a concomitant increase in fuel consumption and thereby increase the coefficient of its use at the CHPP. The parameters of the main points of the thermodynamic Rankine cycle for the option under consideration are determined through the example of a T-100-130 turbine, a flow diagram of heat carriers is constructed, and calculations are carried out to determine the most important technical and economic indicators of the heat-generating plant of the CHPP in the climatic conditions of Moscow. It is proved that when all heat consumers are connected to the heat network according to the scheme under consideration, the maximum share of usefully used condensation heat under transition conditions for primary heating of supercooled return network water to the level corresponding to the temperature schedule can amount to almost a half, if the structure of the energy balance of consumers corresponds to the one characteristic for residential buildings. It is noted that the implementation of the proposed design of heat points allows to increase the efficiency of the CHPP and (or) the heat supply organization by obtaining additional revenue for the heat extracted from the network wastewater after the hot water heaters, without increasing fuel costs and with minimal capital costs for additional equipment (pump, regulator, frequency-controlled drive).

The results found that Instagram framed Joko Widodo about the Covid-19 problem in Indonesia, where the Defining Problematic Effect that often appeared was that in the midst of a pandemic the government and society still commemorated national days well even though virtually it happened because of the Identifying Causes of the Covid-19 pandemic which continues to be the reason for the obstruction of community and government activities, therefore the government always urges the public to maintain the discipline that is always displayed in his posts in Conveying Moral Judgment and the Endorsing Remedy that Joko Widodo often calls for is to ask the local government and other ranks. to maximize safety during the Covid-19 pandemic.
In vitro effect of hydroxyethyl starch on coagulation in dogs as assessed by dynamic viscoelastic coagulometry
Authors: Jarrett Keith A. , Dugat Danielle R. , Hanzlicek Andrew S. , Payton Mark E.
Published: May 2022

OBJECTIVE

To evaluate the effect of 6% hydroxyethyl starch (HES) 670/0.75 and 6% HES 130/0.4 dilution of canine whole blood on coagulation using dynamic viscoelastic coagulometry (DVC).

ANIMALS

56 healthy adult dogs.

PROCEDURES

2 blood samples were obtained from each dog and randomized to 1 of 7 groups—undiluted or 2 dilutions (1:3 or 1:10) of 3 different fluids: saline (0.9% NaCl) solution, 6% HES 670/0.75, or 6% HES 130/0.4. Dilutions were calculated to simulate approximately a 10- or 30-mL/kg body weight IV bolus of each fluid. DVC was performed on each sample. Coagulation parameters compared between groups included clot rate (CR), platelet function (PF), and activated clotting time.

RESULTS

Dilution with saline solution did not significantly affect coagulation, while dilution with HES 670/0.75 and HES 130/0.4 caused a dose-dependent significant decrease in CR (1:3 HES 670/0.75, P = 0.007; 1:10 HES 670/0.75, P = 0.002; 1:3 HES130/0.4, P < 0.0001; and 1:10 HES 130/0.4, P = 0.0003) and PF (1:3 HES 670/0.75, P < 0.0001; 1:10 HES 670/0.75, P < 0.0001; 1:3 HES130/0.4, P < 0.0001; and 1:10 HES 130/0.4, P = 0.0015).

CLINICAL RELEVANCE

Dilution of canine blood with HES 670/0.75 and HES 130/0.4, at clinically relevant doses (10 and 30 mL/kg), led to significant hypocoagulability beyond dilutional effect. This was, in part, due to impaired PF, which was significantly greater with HES 670/0.75. Further research using DVC to assess the effects of HES on coagulation in dogs, ideally with clinical conditions warranting HES administration, is needed.
Comparative veterinary geroscience: mechanism of molecular, cellular, and tissue aging in humans, laboratory animal models, and companion dogs and cats
Authors: McKenzie Brennen A.
Published: May 2022

Aging is the single most important cause of disease, disability, and death in companion animal species. Contrary to the common view of aging as mysterious and inevitable, it is more usefully understood as a set of complex but comprehensible and modifiable biological processes that are highly conserved across species. The purpose of this Currents in One Health manuscript is to describe key mechanisms of aging at the cellular and molecular level and the manifestations of these in the tissues of the musculoskeletal system, adipose, and the brain. The characteristics of these processes as identified in common laboratory animal models and in humans will be described and compared with the much more limited information available concerning aging in dogs and cats. This will highlight important targets for future research in these species. The consistent patterns across species in the hallmarks of aging and their manifestations at the level of tissues, organ systems, and individual animals signify potential targets for interventions to mitigate the negative health impacts of aging and extend both life span and health span (the period of life free of significant disease or disability). Further research to elucidate aging mechanisms in companion dogs and cats will eventually support development, testing, and implementation of clinical therapies to prevent and ameliorate age-related dysfunction, disease, and death.

Palm vein recognition technology is a one of the most effective biometric technologies for personal identification. Palm acquisition techniques are either contact-based or contactless-based. The contactless-based palm vein system is considered more accurate and efficient when used in modern applications, but it may suffer from problems like pose variations and the delay in the matching process. This paper proposes a contactless-based identification system for palm vein that involves two main steps; First, the central region of the palm is cropped using fast extract region of interest algorithm, then the features are extracted and classified using altered structure of Residual Attention Network, which is a developed version of convolutional neural network that uses an attention mechanism. The altered structure is constructed by stacking multiple attention modules and pre-activation residual unit with additional down sampling layers in between. The proposed system was tested on contactless CASIA multispectral palm vein databases that contains palm images with obvious pose variations taken from 100 persons. The results show that our system has outperformed other state-of-the-art systems with 95.55% accuracy and fast identification process of 0.06 second per person.

Published: May 2022

Bedsore (pressure ulcers)is a major nurse-careoutcome. There are many influences that can contribute to the progress of pressure ulcers, but the final common pathway to ulceration is tissue ischemia. This study aimed to detect some etiological factors that predispose to bedsore. The study was conducted on patients attending intensive care departments. Out of 82 inpatients who suffered from pressure ulcer, 54were males and 28were females. Specimens were collected during the period of September, 2019 –February, 2020 from different Hospitals (Alkadhimiya Teaching Hospital, General Hospital of AlshaheedAl-Sadr, and Medical City/ Ghazi Al-Hariri hospital) in Baghdad, Iraq. Simultaneously, other 20 specimens were collected as control frominpatientswho did not suffer from any skin lesion.The patients were categorizing according to the causative agent into 48 patients with chronic diseases  (58.6%), 26 with accidental and surgical processes (31.7%), and 8 dehydrated cases (severe diarrhea) (9.7%). The demographic results showed that malesconstituted a percentage of 65.9% of patients, while 34.1% were females. The majority of the patients wereat an age range of 36-65 years. The study also revealed that smoking did not affect significantly bed sore development. In addition, most patients were under chronic disease, and diabetes mellitus incidence significantly varied among different age groups. The results of the microbiological study showed that the most prevalent microbial isolates followed the order Staphylococcus spp.>Enterobacteriaceae spp. > Fungi >Acinetobacter spp. > Bacillus spp. > Pseudomonas spp. and Streptococcus spp. >Corynobacterium. The resultsrevealed no significant differences in microbial distribution between patients and control group.
Relationship of training load and wellness status with player’s in-game basketball performance: An automated exploratory data analysis case

The purpose of the study was to examine the relationships of different training load variables and wellness responses, with in-game basketball performance across playing positions (backcourt and frontcourt players). External load variables (e.g., total distance, accelerations, etc), internal responses (e.g., rate of perceived exertion [RPE]) and wellness status (e.g., Hooper index) were monitored during 7 consecutive in-season months on 15 professional male basketball players. Besides, game-related individual statistics (performance index rating [PIR], and player total contribution [PTC]) were used to assess the performance during competition. Although no positive relationship was found between training load variables and basketball game performance, some wellness questionnaire parameters were significantly associated to game-related individual statistics. In particular, we found that only competing against direct rivals, players that reported stable values of stress stability achieved significantly higher PTC and PIR scores than players with high variability in stress values (8.53 IQR [6.09, 14.8] vs 0.00 IQR [-0.46, 0.84], and 0.47 ± 0.40 vs 0.10 ± 0.50; respectively; P < 0.05). Similarly, players with variable values of stress managed to maximize PIR scores during losses compared to players that presented high variability in stress levels (0.42 IQR [0.27, 0.55] vs 0.00 IQR [-0.12, 0.37], P < 0.05). Regarding playing positions, backcourt players showed higher PTC scores compared to frontcourt players when the fatigue levels are stable during the microcycle (8.27 ± 5.75 vs 4.77 ± 4.42; P < 0.05). Because basketball teams tend to accumulate more backcourt players that frontcourt players, it would be advisable to control training load maintaining it stable and avoiding load spikes during microcycle to allow team performance optimization. In conclusion, the results suggest that the best performances during official competition are not associated with higher training external and internal loads. Nevertheless, the wellness status could provide useful information when assessing player’s training responses and approaching possible peak performance during basketball competition. This shows the necessity to assess basketball performance from a holistic approach and consider more than just physical and physiological parameters, such as decision-making and psychological capacities, to better understand player’s performance during basketball competition.

Hydroxychloroquine and Acute Generalized Exanthematous Pustolosis
Authors: Galambus Justine , Vafa Atefah
Published: May 2022

Acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis (AGEP) is a rare, potentially lethal, cutaneous reaction most commonly precipitated by drugs. Removal of the offending drug or treatment of the underlying infection usually results in recovery, though corticosteroids are often used to bolster treatment. We report a case of hydroxychloroquine-induced AGEP in an adult female. Though removal of hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) did largely resolve her rash, she continued to require corticosteroids over 200 days after she first began taking HCQ.

Published: May 2022

Objectives:

The phenomenon of foreign body ingestion (FB) is considered a common scenario in children’s tertiary care clinical settings. This study aimed to assess the sociodemographic factors of ingested FB, and its details and find the efficient clinical outcomes of a novel non-invasive interventional approach for removing FB in children.

Material and Methods:

This was a prospective study of 55 patients in a tertiary care centre, Sri Lanka for 1 year from 2019. The univariate, bivariate analysis, and the Chi-squared test were used to check the relationship between two categorical variables as this study dataset comprises more than 50 observations, where 5% was used as the significance level.

Results:

This study’s mean age was 5.18 ± 3.1 years and the median 5 years. The higher number of ingested FB was metal (88.5%) among this coin (33.3%) recorded the highest contribution and round shape was 62% whereas the ratio between sharp edge and none sharp edge was 1:4. A greater number of children both males (58.3%) and females (30.6%) were managed spontaneously to pass the FB through stool while vomiting (2.78%) was observed only in males. In comparison, the endoscopy removal cases were female (5.56%) and their mean age was 7.7 years.

Conclusion:

There are a number of studies that claim that the management of FB ingestion relatively depends on children’s age, developmental stage, the type of the ingested object, and clinical presentation. However, our study contends that the majority of FB ingestion can be moved spontaneously through stool by applying the noninvasive therapeutic approach without causing clinical complications.
Digital Technologies in the 21st Century Art
Authors: Zaitseva Marina L. , Budagyan Regina R.
Published: May 2022

The use of digital technologies in musical art influences the process of arousing the audience’s interest in personal control of what is happening on the stage, their involvement and maximum possible immersion in shows, performances, multimedia projects, which affects their psychology, as well as the peculiarities of their perception. This article summarizes the results of a study of the mutual influence of digital technologies and academic musical-instrumental and vocal art.

The authors prove that the use of digital technologies in the work of modern musicians, directors and designers contributes to the development of the creative and communicative aspect of musical art; bringing the art of the 21st century to a qualitatively new level; the enrichment of artistic thinking and creative potential of musicians, listeners, spectators, etc.; increasing the mobility and innovativeness of contemporary musical art, which is reflected both in the expansion of the visual and performing aspects of concert performances, and in the increase in the number of listeners and viewers.

The article specifies that, unlike modern Japanese musical culture, which is mostly based exclusively on digital technologies, representatives of Russian culture are adherents of academic traditions. Specifically, the main goal of G.V. Filshtinsky’s work, according to the director himself, is to update the very presentation of musical-instrumental and opera art to the youth audience while preserving the classical content and live sound of the works in general.

The article substantiates that the fundamental idea of the festival “Digital Opera 2.0. Opera of the Digital Age” is to attract a younger generation of employees and spectators to Russian opera houses. It is no coincidence that the plot and the author’s show projects by G.V. Filshtinsky are based on patriotic themes, which the director, together with his numerous team of professionals, introduces into the performances.

The article reveals that the events held within the framework of the First International Festival “Digital Opera 2.0. Opera of the Digital Age” and G. Filshtinsky’s show performances are aimed at solving the fundamental problems of modern society, namely, the preservation, development and popularization of the creative, cultural heritage of the Russian Federation, the formation of patriotic, aesthetic, spiritual growth of the county’s youth audience.
