Practice Implications of the Increasing use of AI in Healthcare – A Reflective Contemplation with a Relational Ethics Lens
Authors: Ko Cindy
Published: September 2023

There is an increasing use of machines that use artificial intelligence (AI) in the healthcare setting. Given the current shortages in human resources, the idea of care robots and other AI supportive systems is an emerging potential solution. However, AI such as care robots may pose the question of whether the notion of care is compatible with designs that focus on data and efficiencies. In this paper, I endeavour to examine the application of AI such as care robots and use relational ethics to anchor the discussion. I invite readers to contemplate some legal, ethical, and social implications regarding the use of AI in healthcare. In addition, I am offering some practice implications that could be relevant in the healthcare setting. I wrote with a reflective approach. It is my position that the application of relational ethics is appropriate when we consider using AI in healthcare because if AI such as care robots are to care for humans, then its functions should have relational elements.
A magyar lakosság vegyi anyagokkal és humán biomonitoringgal kapcsolatos ismereteinek, valamint hozzáállásának felmérése fókuszcsoportos beszélgetés és online kérdőíves felmérés alapján
Authors: Középesy Szilvia , Szigeti Tamás
Published: September 2023

A vegyi anyagok mára a mindennapi életünk elkerülhetetlen részévé váltak. Használatuk azonban számtalan előnyük mellett kockázatot is jelent az emberek egészségére és az ökológiai rendszerekre, amit folyamatosan vizsgálnunk és kezelnünk kell. Az utóbbi években a lakosság körében jól dokumentáltan nőtt a környezetszennyezéssel, illetve annak az egészségre gyakorolt hatásaival kapcsolatos közérdeklődés és aggodalom. A lakosság vegyi anyagoknak való kitettséggel kapcsolatos attitűdjének, valamint a humán biomonitoringra vonatkozó ismereteinek és elvárásainak felmérése céljából a HBM4EU projekt keretében, több résztvevő országhoz hasonlóan Magyarországon is fókuszcsoportos interjút, valamint online kérdőíves felmérést végeztünk 2020-ban. Az eredmények azt mutatják, hogy a megkérdezettek aggódnak az élelmiszerbiztonság és a vegyi anyagok okozta kitettség miatt. A kétféle közvélemény-kutatás résztvevői tisztában voltak a vegyi anyagok lehetséges felvételével az élelmiszerfogyasztás (pl. tartósítószerek, ízfokozók, színezékek, növényvédő szerek, fémek), illetve a szennyezett környezet (pl. levegő) révén. A kérdőíves felmérésben azonosított pozitív szempontok egyike, hogy a válaszadók nagy része támogatja a rendszeres humán biomonitoring vizsgálatok végzését és érdeklődést mutat a témával kapcsolatos újabb információk iránt, valamint bizonyos feltételek mellett hajlandó lenne meglévő szokásain változtatni. A személyes viselkedésbeli változások előmozdítása a teljes társadalom aktív részvételét igényli (pl. ingázási szokások, energiafelhasználás, hulladékgyűjtés, étkezési és fogyasztási szokások). Mivel a jelenlegi közvélemény-kutatásba csak a lakosság egy szűk rétegét sikerült bevonni, további kihívás a társadalom szélesebb rétegeinek elérése. A jövőben a lakosság tudatosságának növelésére, tudományosan megalapozott, új szakpolitikai intézkedések kidolgozására és végrehajtására, illetve a kapcsolódó témáknak az oktatási rendszerbe való beépítésére kell összpontosítani. A közvélemény tudatosságának növelése elősegítheti a polgárok elkötelezettségét, ami képessé teheti őket arra, hogy nyomást gyakoroljanak a politikai döntéshozókra az ártalmas vegyi anyagok okozta expozíció csökkentését célzó hatékony intézkedések meghozatalának érdekében.
Az élelmiszer-csomagolóanyagokból eredő humán endokrin diszruptor kockázat
Authors: Kemenczei Ágnes , Szilvássy Blanka , Páldy Anna
Published: September 2023

A humán homeosztázis fenntartásában szerepet játszó endokrin rendszer működését számos, a környezetünkből bekerülő anyag befolyásolja. Az endokrin rendszerrel kölcsönhatásba lépő, annak működését megzavaró anyagokat összefoglaló néven endokrin diszruptoroknak nevezzük. Az endokrin diszruptorként azonosított vegyületeket két fő csoportra oszthatjuk: természetes vegyületek (pl.: fitoösztrogének, egyes mikotoxinok) és a mesterséges körülmények között szintetizált vegyületek (pl.: ipari oldószerek, műanyagok, lágyítók, peszticidek, fungicidek, számos gyógyszerhatóanyag). Az élelmiszerrel érintkező (FCM) anyagok közül az elmúlt évtizedben számos, eddig biztonságosnak ismert kémiai anyagról derült ki, hogy károsan befolyásolja a szervezet hormonális egyensúlyát. Ezek közé tartozik a biszfenol-A, a ftalátok, a benzofenon és származékai, valamint az ón szerves vegyületei, amelyek az FCM-ből az élelmiszerekbe vándorolnak. A biszfenol-A kölcsönhatásba lép az ösztrogénreceptorokkal, ezért szerepet játszik számos endokrin rendellenesség patogenezisében (meddőség, korai pubertás, hormonfüggő daganatok, anyagcserezavarok, policisztás petefészekszindróma). A ftalát vegyületeteket a fokozott elhízással és inzulinrezisztenciával, a nemi hormonok szintjének csökkenésével, valamint az emberi reproduktív rendszerre gyakorolt egyéb következményekkel hozzák összefüggésbe. A benzofenon befolyásolhatja a gonádok fejlődését. A papírból és kartonból készült élelmiszer-csomagolóanyagokban használt polifluoralkil-anyagok endokrinkárosító potenciállal rendelkeznek, és mind a pajzsmirigy-, mind a szteroidhormon-rendszerbe beavatkoznak. Az endokrin diszruptorok jelentős egészségkárosító hatással rendelkeznek, így kiemelten fontos az általuk okozott expozíció folyamatos becslése és a szükséges kockázatcsökkentő intézkedések meghozatala. Ezt a célt szolgálja például a HBM4EU projekt. Ezen felül az Európai Unió tagállamainak illetékes hatóságai folyamatosan monitorozzák az FCM anyagokat és az esetleges kioldódásokat. Amennyiben az ellenőrzéseik során egészségre káros vegyi anyag kioldódást állapítanak meg, haladéktalanul jelentik az Európai Unió élelmiszer- és takarmánybiztonsági riasztási rendszerén (RASFF) keresztül. A fogyasztók FCM-ek káros vegyi anyagaival szembeni védelmének elősegítése a közegészségügy fontos feladata.

Background: Prolonged Decision-to-Delivery interval (DDI) is associated with adverse maternal-foetal outcomes following emergency Caesarean section (EmCS).
Objective: To determine the DDI, predictive factors, and the foeto-maternal outcomes of patients that had EmCS in a Nigerian Teaching Hospital.
Methods: A descriptive study of all EmCS performed at the Obafemi Awolowo University Teaching Hospitals Complex (OAUTHC), Ile-Ife, Nigeria, from 1st June 2020 to 31st May 2021, was conducted. Relevant data were extracted from the documentations of doctors, nurses and anaesthetists using a designed proforma. The data obtained were analysed using the IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows, version 25.
Results: The median (IQR) DDI was 297 (175-434) minutes. Only one patient was delivered within the recommended DDI of 30 minutes. The most common cause of prolonged DDI was delay in procuring materials for CS by patients’ relatives(s)/caregiver(s) (264, 85.2%). Repeat CS (AOR = 4.923, 95% CI 1.09-22.36; p = 0.039), prolonged decision-to-operating room time (AOR = 8.22, 95% CI 1.87-8.66; p<0.001), and junior cadre of surgeon (AOR = 25.183, 95% CI 2.698-35.053; p = 0.005) were significant predictors of prolonged DDI. Prolonged DDI > 150 minutes was significantly associated with maternal morbidity (p = 0.001), stillbirth (p = 0.008) and early neonatal death (p = 0.049).
Conclusion: The recommended DDI of 30 minutes for CS is challenging in the setting studied. To improve foeto-maternal outcomes, efforts to reduce the DDI should be pursued vigorously, using the recommended 30 minutes as a benchmark.

Authors: Bello-Rivero Iraldo , Ríos-Cabrera María Margarita , Cruz-Rodríguez Javier
Published: September 2023

Introducción: La escasa supervivencia de pacientes con tumores cerebrales de alto grado de malignidad, pese a la existencia de algunas opciones de tratamiento, conduce a la búsqueda de nuevas modalidades terapéuticas. La combinación cubana de interferones alfa y gamma es novedosa y existen evidencias de que aumenta la supervivencia de pacientes con tumores sólidos. 
Método: Se realizó una investigación clínica para determinar la eficiencia de la combinación en pacientes con tumores cerebrales de alto grado sin opciones terapéuticas. Se incluyeron 40 pacientes tratados en el Hospital “Arnaldo Milián Castro” en el período 2009-2020, se evaluó seguridad y eficacia. 
Resultados: No se produjeron efectos adversos graves, fueron leves o moderados, y los pacientes se recuperaron. Al año habían fallecido el 8,7 % de los casos del grupo experimental, frente al 70,6 % en el grupo control. La supervivencia global en estadio III fue similar en ambos escenarios y en estadio IV fue superior para el grupo experimental. La posibilidad de sobrevivir para los pacientes que se trataron con la combinación de interferones fue 0,887 veces superior a los casos control. Se produjeron diferencias significativas en la capacidad funcional entre ambos grupos de pacientes.
Conclusiones: Se evidenció que la combinación cubana de interferones es segura y eficaz para el tratamiento de tumores cerebrales de alto grado de malignidad sin opciones terapéuticas, lo que la convierte en una opción eficiente en este escenario clínico.
The Russian musical art of the early XX century: Energy
Authors: Demchenko Aleksandr Ivanovich
Published: September 2023

The essay considers the origin of such a phenomenon as dynamism in the Russian musical art of the 1910s. Dynamism “in general” (a powerful pressure of energy, a riot of forces) and constructive dynamism (the desire for organisation, for machine-type energy) coexisted and interacted in the works of the early XX century. The author consistently sheds light on the manifestations of dynamism in the creative work of S. Prokofiev, who began his career in the 1910s (piano piece “Diabolic Suggestion” Op. 4 No. 4 (1908), Étude in C Minor Op. 2 No. 4 (1909), Toccata Op. 11 (1912), Piano Sonata No. 3 (1907-1917)). The essay pays special attention to the Piano Sonata No. 2 (1912), with its dramaturgy based on a sharp comparison of two figurative spheres – the action-filled and the lyrical. As a result, the author concludes that the primary function of dynamism is to convey the eruption of colossal energy characteristic of the early XX century.
The basic value PEACE in German and Russian linguocultures
Authors: Khlopova Anna Igorevna
Published: September 2023

The aim of the research is to determine the psychologically relevant content of the basic value PEACE in German and Russian linguocultures. It should be noted that in modern extralinguistic conditions, this value is discussed by many scientists, but its real content has not been determined. In the study, the data from Russian and German explanatory dictionaries, in which the invariant of the meaning of the word representing the basic value of the same name is given, are compared with the data obtained as a result of a 2023 free association experiment involving the bearers of German and Russian linguocultures. The scientific novelty of the research lies in developing a methodology for verbal detection of the content of a basic value, as well as in establishing similarities in the content of the basic value PEACE in German and Russian linguocultures by experimental means, which undoubtedly indicates the universality of the value under consideration. As a result, it has been proved that the content of the basic value PEACE in German and Russian linguocultures is similar. This may suggest the closeness of Germans’ and Russians’ worldview and ways of world cognition, as well as the fact that the PEACE value is perceived by the representatives of Russian and German linguocultures as a basic value. The research findings demonstrate the universality of the PEACE value, the most important value that underlies the formation of other social and personal values.
„Sie ist mir lieb, die werte Magd.“ Das Bild der Kirche in lutherischen Liedern des 16. und 17. Jahrhunderts
Authors: Hofmann Andrea
Published: September 2023

Using the song “Sie ist mir lieb, die werte Magd” by Martin Luther (1535) and psalm songs from the hymnal of the Leipzig pastor Cornelius Becker (1602) as examples, this article asks about the image of the ‘church’ in Lutheran songs of the Reformation and the Confessional Age and how this image in particular developed in the 16th and 17th centuries. What Luther and Becker have in common is that their songs aimed to create a sense of belonging and an awareness of one’s own identity within the singing Protestant community. Church songs, whose themes could also be about the church, thus served not least to build up the church in the spirit of the Reformation.
„Zucht und lehr“ – Johann Wilhelm Simlers Teutsche Gedichte (1648)
Authors: Amslinger Julia , Emmenegger Nathalie
Published: September 2023

Swiss literature between Niklaus Manuel as an example of a 16th century poet and Albrecht von Haller as a writer of the Age of Enlightenment has been little researched – despite the fact that a large body of literature dealing with a particularly ‘Swiss’ language, culture, and poetry can be linked to the political status of the sovereign confederation in the 17th century. This article presents the book Teutsche Gedichte by the Zurich author Johann Wilhelm Simler in the context of its creation as well as its reception. The work was first published in 1648, the year of the separation of the Confederate cantons from the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation and at the end of the Thirty Years’ War. Due to its resounding success, it was reprinted three times until 1688. In addition to various epigrams, doctrinal and occasional poems, the collection consists mainly of sacred and secular songs, printed in four-part notation. The melodies were written by various composers. As well as working with musicians, Simler also collaborated closely with the Zurich engraver Conrad Meyer. We would like to highlight Simler’s work as a cultural broker in the cultural scene of his city and for Swiss poetry in the German-speaking world.
Die Kantate als musikoliterarische Gattung.
Authors: Pattis Bernhard
Published: September 2023

The cantata genre is one of the most important intermedial art forms in European cultural history. Originating in Italy, it has also been used productively in music and literature in Germany since the late 17th and early 18th centuries. Since Erdmann Neumeister, who was the first to formulate a poetics of the (madrigal) cantata, numerous cantata poems have been written, which – even before they are potentially set to music – are literary artifacts in their own right. It is therefore surprising that the genre of the cantata has been researched almost exclusively by musicologists, and that there has been a lack of literary studies, and consequently, interdisciplinary approaches, which would be necessary for a systematic understanding of the cantata as a musical-literary hybrid genre. This article is intended as a contribution to an interdisciplinary study of the cantata. It examines the cantata text “Ich will den Kreuzweg gerne gehen”, written by Erdmann Neumeister and set to music by Georg Philipp Telemann, according to literary-textual and musical criteria, paying particular attention to the mechanisms and dynamics of the interaction between text and music.

Published: September 2023

Students nowadays are considered as the generation who have never known the world without video games, cell phones, and the internet. Hence, gamification has become a solution. It is a method that can boost the students' mood during lectures, so they feel enjoy during the learning process. In short, this study aims to examine whether using Classcraft has a significant effect on the reading comprehension of EFL students. This study was classified as a pre-experimental study (N=37), followed by assessing their reading comprehension. Two-session treatment began, which included teaching reading comprehension using Classcraft. At the end of the course, a reading post-test was administered. The findings propose a statistically significant difference in the pre-test and post-test scores for the treatment group. By implementing Classcraft’s features allows EFL students to be more competent in English reading comprehension, especially in making inferences and encouraging them through gamified learning. The current study offered empirical evidence of how reading instruction using Classcraft promoted EFL students’ reading comprehension.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is considering implementation of a balanced mix design method (BMD) for asphalt concrete (AC) of airfield pavements in a future specification update. One of the key elements towards implementing BMD, is setting adequate conditions for laboratory mechanical testing that best simulate actual field conditions. In this study, representative air void (AV) levels were identified for laboratory mechanical testing by analyzing quality control (QC) data of plant-mixed laboratory-compacted (PMLC) samples along with in-place density measurements for multiple existing airfield pavements. The laboratory compaction effort in the Superpave Gyratory Compactor (SGC) required to reach the recommended AV levels were evaluated for different specimen heights. The specimen height and AV level were then experimentally verified with the Ideal Rutting test (ASTM D8360-22) for these airfield mixtures. Based on analysis of field density, laboratory compaction effort, and mechanical test data, it was recommended to test 62 mm thick gyratory specimens at 7±0.5% AV (directly molded) or at 5±0.5% AV (after cutting), which should help capture the different aspects of the asphalt mixture’s resistance to rutting in terms of aggregate skeleton and binder properties.
Apollon Kruse (1891—1967): a sketch of the early period of his life
Authors:   Institute of Slavic Studies, Russian Academy of Sciences, Barinov Igor
Published: September 2023

This article examines the early period of the life and career of the Russian and Soviet military man Apollon Kruse, who became a general first in the White and then in the Red Army and escaped every kind of repression. During the Revolution of 1917, Kruse, like many other career officers of the Russian Imperial Army, faced the problem of further professional development. Contrary to popular belief, for a significant number of the officers, military service in one or another post-imperial army was primarily associated with the maintaining of the elite status and gaining new career opportunities. Traditionally, apolitical behaviour of the officers and their commitment to specific corporatism principally allowed them to switch from one army to another one without difficulty. The trajectory of their service was determined by their personal characteristics (first of all, their origin and worldview). These circumstances in particular gave rise to a whole range of identities that could change, depending on the situation. Kruse’s example highlights the evolution of a former tsarist officer and suggests a new approach towards the nature of conformity in his elite group. The article is based on previously unknown archival documents.
“Attending courses is mandatory for everyone...”: the experience of hardware Ukrainization of the 1920s
Authors:   Institute of Slavic Studies, Russian Academy of Sciences, Borisenok Elena
Published: September 2023

This article discusses the functionalities of courses on the study of the Ukrainian language in the Ukrainian SSR during the Ukrainization of the 1920s. There are many studies on the history of Soviet national policy in Ukraine. However, the daily practice of Ukrainization has not been studied enough. The purpose of the article is to analyse the peculiarities of the policy of Ukrainization in relation to Russian-speaking employees of state institutions and enterprises of the Republic, to analyse organisational forms and methods of teaching the Ukrainian language, and the format of knowledge in the field of Ukrainian Studies. Primary attention is paid to the characteristics of resolutions, instructions and methodological guidelines that regulated the form and activities of courses on the study of the Ukrainian language and Ukrainian Studies, as well as teaching methods and the procedures for conducting exams. The study shows that the courses were supposed to ensure the knowledge of the Ukrainian language by employees of various organisations. This was necessary for the translation of office work into Ukrainian. Ukrainian was the language “for official relations” in the Republic, since it was the language spoken by the majority of the population of the Ukrainian SSR. At the same time, the courses gave students an idea of the “Ukrainian question”, Ukrainian literature and history. The Republican authorities expected to force officials to switch to the language of the titular nation within a short time. They used harsh administrative pressure: in the resolutions and orders of the Kharkiv leadership, there was a clause on the dismissal of those who did not want to be Ukrainised.
RCC1 is differentially expressed in central nervous system metastasis in human breast cancer.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: September 2023

Metastasis to the brain occurs in a significant fraction of patients with breast cancer (1-3). We mined published RNA-sequencing and microarray data (4, 5) to compare primary and metastatic tumor transcriptomes for the discovery of genes associated with brain metastasis in humans with metastatic breast cancer. We found that regulator of chromosome condensation 1, encoded by RCC1, was among the genes whose expression was most different in the brain metastases of patients with metastatic breast cancer as compared to primary tumors of the breast. RCC1 mRNA was present at increased quantities in brain metastatic tissues as compared to primary tumors of the breast. Expression of RCC1 in primary tumors was correlated with patient distant metastasis-free and recurrence-free survival. Modulation of RCC1 expression may be relevant to the biology by which tumor cells metastasize from the breast to the brain in humans with metastatic breast cancer.
Satellite video remote sensing for flood model validation
Authors: Masafu Christopher
Published: September 2023

Satellite-based optical video sensors are poised as the next frontier in remote sensing. Satellite video offers the unique advantage of capturing the transient dynamics of floods with the potential to supply hitherto unavailable data for the assessment of hydraulic models. A prerequisite for the successful application of hydraulic models is their proper calibration and validation. In this investigation, we validate 2D flood model predictions using satellite video-derived flood extents and velocities. Hydraulic simulations of a flood event with a 5-year return period (discharge of 722 m3 s-1) were conducted using HEC-RAS 2D in the Darling River at Tilpa, Australia. To extract flood extents from satellite video of the studied flood event, we use a hybrid transformer-encoder convolutional neural network (CNN)-decoder deep neural network. We evaluate the influence of test-time augmentation (TTA) – the application of transformations on test satellite video image ensembles, during deep neural network inference. We employ Large Scale Particle Image Velocimetry (LSPIV) for non-contact-based river surface velocity estimation from sequential satellite video frames. When validating hydraulic model simulations using deep neural network segmented flood extents, critical success index peaked at 94% and on average improved by 9.5% when TTA was implemented. We show that TTA offers significant value in deep neural network-based image segmentation, compensating for aleatoric uncertainties. The correlations between model predictions and LSPIV velocities were reasonable and averaged 0.78. Overall, our investigation demonstrates the potential of optical space-based video sensors for validating flood models and studying flood dynamics.

We found that protein tyrosine phosphatase, receptor type N, encoded by PTPRN, was among the genes whose expression was most different in the brain metastases of patients with metastatic breast cancer as compared to primary tumors of the breast. PTPRN mRNA was present at increased quantities in brain metastatic tissues as compared to primary tumors of the breast.
