O trote como crise sacrificial na universidade: a violência fora de controle
Authors: Almeida Jr. Antônio Ribeiro de , Zuin Antônio A. S.
Published: November 2024

Resumo A partir da obra de René Girard, este estudo busca analisar o trote universitário como crise sacrifical que desencadeia práticas de violência fora de controle. Como fundamentação teórica, foram utilizados textos de Pierre Clastres, Arnold Van Gennep e Victor Turner, entre outros. Analisou-se, metodologicamente, o trote universitário a partir das considerações desses autores sobre os ritos violentos, investigando trotes que ocorrem nas universidades brasileiras, como raspar os cabelos, pinturas corporais, “aulas trote”, campanhas universitárias contra o trote e o “trote solidário”. Concluiu-se que são necessárias análises críticas a respeito do trote, para que novas formas de recepção dos estudantes, sem qualquer uso de humilhação, submissão ou violência sejam colocadas em prática pelas universidades.
Deslocamentos induzidos por desastres relacionados à chuva no Brasil entre 2013 e 2022
Authors: Moreira Richard Eustáquio de Assis
Published: November 2024

Resumo Este artigo objetiva quantificar e descrever deslocamentos populacionais causados por desastres relacionados à precipitação no Brasil entre os anos de 2013 e 2022. Para isso, foram selecionados apenas registros de deslocamentos ocasionados por Secas, Inundações, Tempestades e Deslizamentos de massa contabilizados pela base de dados do Centro de Monitoramento de Deslocamentos Internos (IDMC). Utilizando uma abordagem descritiva, o estudo revela que eventos de grande magnitude estão intimamente ligados a chuvas intensas em extensas e populosas áreas no Brasil. Principalmente em vilas e favelas, onde a infraestrutura precária coexiste com vulnerabilidades socioeconômicas, eventos climáticos relacionados ao regime de chuvas podem comprometer os espaços de vida e impulsionar os deslocamentos como mecanismos de fuga e de adaptação. Num contexto de crise climática, espera-se que tais desastres ocorram com mais frequência no futuro, impactando principalmente os mais pobres e mais vulneráveis. Portanto, políticas de prevenção, adaptação e resiliência serão cada vez mais importantes para reduzir os riscos e impactos de desastres sobre a população.
Toward an Ecological-Political Understanding of Migration from Tunisia: Exploring the Role of Energy Policies in Southern Ecosystems' Desertification
Authors: Poletti Arianna
Published: November 2024

Abstract This article examines the phenomenon of people in movement by considering the human and environmental impact of export-oriented energy policies through the case study of Southern Tunisia’s territory and communities. The analysis aims to interrogate the neglected link between the social-economic context of territories hosting impactful energy infrastructures, the resulting control over ‘human’ and ‘natural’ ecosystems that inhabit these territories, and their consequent abandonment, leading to migration. The research sheds light on how coercive measures and oppressive policies prioritize maximal resource extraction, depriving local citizens of their agency. Consequently, communities no longer resist the establishment of energy infrastructure, leading to the abandonment of their land and the loss of control over natural resources. By adopting a political ecology approach, this article aims to expand the category of climate migrants arguing that the economic criterion cannot be omitted nor separated from the climatic one. The case study of Southern Tunisia exemplifies the dynamics of precarity and structural poverty underlying migration peculiar to territories where, paradoxically, high value-added resources such as oil and gas as well as renewable energy are extracted and exported.

Authors: Santos Gabriela Dias Rosso dos , Corrêa Luciana , Carvalho Danielle Lima Corrêa de
Published: November 2024

ABSTRACT This literature review aimed to raise the relationship between rheumatoid arthritis and mandibular osteonecrosis associated with bisphosphonates. The articles were collected in Pubmed, Bireme, Cochrane and Scielo between the years 2000 and 2023, the articles that contained hypotheses of correlation with the theme or that contained case reports (inclusion of publications between 2005 and 2019) where osteonecrosis appeared during treatment for rheumatoid arthritis were included. The survey allowed an assessment of the profile of the patient with rheumatoid arthritis, as well as the bone consequences of the use of oral methotrexate and bisphosphonates and treatment options; as well as the success of conservative and surgical techniques against mandibular osteonecrosis. Although the relationship between mandibular osteonecrosis and rheumatoid arthritis is not completely understood, we can conclude that the dental surgeon and the rheumatologist must always be in communication in order to treat mandibular osteonecrosis in the best possible way, as well as prevent its onset.

RESUMO Objetivo: Compreender a rotina e as implicações à saúde mental de crianças com câncer hospitalizadas, na perspectiva dos familiares. Método: Pesquisa qualitativa, realizada com 11 familiares de crianças hospitalizadas em uma unidade de internação oncopediátrica, durante o mês de setembro de 2022. Os dados foram produzidos por meio de entrevistas semiestruturadas e analisados conforme Análise Temática de Minayo. Emergiram duas categorias: “A rotina da criança durante a hospitalização” e “A saúde mental da criança durante a hospitalização”. Resultados: Na rotina da criança, os participantes perceberam mudanças provocadas pelo ambiente hospitalar que não coincidem com a dinâmica familiar, no entanto, a presença da equipe multiprofissional atenua o estranhamento vivenciado nesse processo. Em relação à saúde mental, entre os sentimentos experienciados pelas crianças surgiram raiva, saudade e tristeza, repercutindo em comportamentos como desânimo e agressividade. Essas repercussões possuem interface com o entendimento confuso da criança sobre a sua doença. Considerações Finais: As perspectivas dos familiares contribuíram para a reflexão sobre o processo de saúde e doença de pacientes pediátricos em tratamento oncológico, em virtude dos mesmos desempenharem um papel essencial no cuidado, acompanhando de perto tudo aquilo que emerge no dia a dia dessas crianças no ambiente hospitalar.

For a materialist reading approach to the discourse of health evaluation: criteria and standards
Authors: Gasparini Max Felipe Vianna , Gussi Alcides Fernando , Furtado Juarez Pereira
Published: November 2024

ABSTRACT This essay is based on the epistemological concerns of health evaluators in their search to understand the meanings of their professional practice and their theoretical formulations. Such concerns emerge from the strangeness accumulated over years of work in the field and a growing questioning, given the naturalization of the relationship between the concepts used in health evaluation and their implications for the maintenance of power relations. In this essay, we present an analytical proposal for understanding the concepts mobilized by health evaluation supported by Michel Pêcheux’s Discourse Analysis, Louis Althusser’s Materialist Philosophy, and Georges Canguilhem’s Historical Epistemology. We propose a materialist reading approach for the analysis of the standardized discourse about the development of evaluation, seeking to contribute to overcoming idealistic readings around approaches and standards that succeed one another and are stabilized as truths, with a view to advancing towards a historical understanding. Understanding the formation of the conceptual discourse around the social practice of health evaluation in Brazil-and, thus, understanding the ideological functioning of its enunciation-can aid us to deepen the analysis of the meanings that operate in the practice and formulation of this social space.

A EDUCAÇÃO COMO DIREITO NUM MUNDO DESIGUAL
Authors: LIMA LICÍNIO C.
Published: November 2024

RESUMO O presente ensaio debate possibilidades e exigências para a realização do direito à educação, observando criticamente os obstáculos que lhe são apresentados por um mundo desigual. Propondo que a educação como direito seja estudada através de três conceitos – a educação como direito consagrado, a educação como direito decretado, e a educação como direito praticado – é a este último que o artigo atribui protagonismo analítico. Reconhecendo centralidade à ideologia meritocrática promovida pelas políticas educacionais contemporâneas, o texto conclui que nos encontramos em processo de transição de uma pedagogia democrática, nunca inteiramente realizada e sucedida, para uma pedagogia meritocrática, empreendedorista e contra o outro. A meritocracia é considerada, relativamente à educação como direito praticado, um dos maiores obstáculos enfrentados, capaz de produzir novas desigualdades e de operar uma forte erosão da democracia e da pedagogia democrática na educação.
Micropollutants in potable water reuse: Review on guiding documents and operating plants around the world*
Authors: Paixão Mickaela Midon da , Pereira Renata de Oliveira , Santos Ana Silvia
Published: November 2024

ABSTRACT The presence of micropollutants in effluents leads to an increased concern regarding the application of recycled water for direct and indirect potable reuse (DPR and IPR, respectively). The study presents a review (last 5 years) of guiding documents and operating plants of potable reuse (PR) globally, focusing on micropollutants. The guiding documents were found through an integrative literature review, while the operating plants were found in a systematic review. The study contemplated 19 regulatory documents, of which 7 address DPR and IPR jointly, 10 only IPR, and 2 only DPR. Standards for micropollutants are defined only in documents regulating IPR. Regarding plants in operation, 38 units were presented, of which 6 are DPR and 32 IPR. Some compounds presented more concern: 1,4-dioxane, 17-β-estradiol, gemfibrozil, perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS), perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), sucralose, and triclosan. It is of concern to note the absence of specific standards for micropollutants in DPR regulations. This gap highlights the importance of establishing rigorous guidelines that consider the effects of micropollutants; the study provides a state-of-the-art overview that can guide the advancement of regional regulatory frameworks for the institutionalization of PR worldwide.

Published: November 2024

Abstract: Aim Photochemical mineralization is a significant pathway for the total oxidation of Dissolved Organic Carbon (DOC) in aquatic ecosystems. The concentration of DOC, watercolor, solar radiation intensity, diagenetic state of DOC, and oxygen availability are known regulating factors influencing the DOC photochemical mineralization process. However, these studies have not yet assessed the importance of these regulatory factors under extreme conditions of DOC concentration and watercolor. The aims of this study were: (1) to optimize methodological parameters for investigating the photo-degradation process in tropical humic/super-humic aquatic ecosystems; (2) to evaluate the relative importance of regulatory factors influencing photochemical mineralization in tropical humic/super-humic ecosystems; and (3) to measure photochemical mineralization rates in 20 coastal tropical humic/super-humic ecosystems and comparing them with available data worldwide. Methods Three types of DOC exposure experiments were conducted: (i) exposing water samples to different solar radiation intensities, (ii) exposing water samples of the same origin but with different DOC concentrations (dilutions) to sunlight and (iii) exposing water samples from a gradient of 20 environments with distinct characteristics to sunlight. Results Our results revealed that oxygen concentration became limiting for the photochemical mineralization process in experiments investigating super-humic ecosystems. Watercolor exhibited ambiguous effects on photochemical mineralization; in environments with colored-DOC, increased DOC watercolor favored higher potential photochemical mineralization rates, whereas in super-humic environments, increased DOC watercolor reduced the photochemical mineralization potential due to DOC self-shading. Conclusions We emphasize that the measured results in this study represent the highest values of photochemical mineralization ever recorded in the literature.

Evolutionary equations for studying the dynamics of qubits in variable magnetic fields
Authors:   Perm State University, Oshchepkov Alexander Yu.
Published: November 2024

The work develops an approach to researching the dynamics of qubits that makes it possible to monitor the behavior of the system in the process of quantum computing using computer simulation. The study deals with individual and interacting qubits based on spin ½ in a magnetic field. The goal of the work is to obtain evolutionary equations (equations of motion) for observables that adequately describe the state of the system and provide opportunities for computer modeling of processes. The dynamics of qubits are described using the formalism of the density matrix of pure states. The paper shows derivation of the equations of motion for observables being the average values of operators of physical quantities that describe the state of the system. For spin ½ in magnetic fields, the derivation of the dynamic equation for the spin polarization vector, which is a unit vector in real three-dimensional space, is shown. The shape and parameters of radiofrequency pulses that implement single-qubit operations are presented. In the case of two interacting spins ½, an expression is given for the density matrix and the Hamiltonian of the system for scalar indirect interaction of the magnetic moments of nuclei through the electron shells of atoms in the molecule. Evolution equations are derived for the average dipole moments and quadrupole moment of the system. It is shown that in the case of weak interaction the dynamics of the system can be described using a closed system of equations for the average dipole moments, which in this case coincide with the spin polarization vectors of individual spins. The presentation is accompanied by examples of numerical solutions of the resulting equations describing one-qubit and two-qubit operations. A conclusion is made about the adequacy of the created mathematical model and the possibility of its use for computer modeling of quantum computing processes, the influence of the environment on them and the stabilization of states to prevent or reduce errors in quantum computing.

Published: November 2024

Analysis of the results of carried out investigations of mantle modules in kimberlite diatremes of main diamondiferous regions of the Siberian platform was made. Morphology and chemistry of garnets, chrome-diopsides, clinopyroxenes, picroilmenites, chromites and chrome-spinellids were investigated. Generally, the quantity of diamond association minerals is proportional to diamondiferousness of certain variety of kimberlite for each type of kimberlite rocks composing pipes. It is stated that comprehensive studying of kimberlites and diamond property are very important, because the diamond is a mineral with a broad complex of physical-chemical and crystal-morphological features, reflecting peculiarity of thermodynamic and geochemical conditions of their formation, which can be used as typomorphic indicators. Detailed complex investigations of diamond and its paragenetic accessory minerals allow establishing material-indicative parameters of kimberlite magmatism of various productivity and geologic-structural position of kimberlite bodies, and address issues about primary sources of placer diamonds, as well. Upgrading the line of research on creation of more efficient ore processing flowsheets and providing crystalintegrity technologies, expansion of diamond application areas with consideration of their real structure and physical features, as well as revelation of natural targets with increased quality of diamond raw material, are all related with investigation of primary indicator minerals of kimberlites.

Published: November 2024

The article examines corruption practices in the educational sphere and identifies the problems of qualification of these crimes through the prism of the norms of the Special Part of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. The authors note that corruption is one of the greatest global threats of our time, having a devastating impact on various aspects of public life, including the education system. Being a complex phenomenon, corruption does not have a single definition, but has various manifestations (for example, bribery, abuse of office, illegal enrichment, etc.). In the context of the ongoing administrative reform affecting the system of public authorities, special attention is paid to anti-corruption security issues as an important element of the national security of the country. Corrupt actions in the educational system have a negative impact on the quality of the educational process, the legal awareness of citizens and the perception of educational values. In the education system, bribery is the most common manifestation of corruption. Taking into account the harmful consequences of corruption, the authors draw attention to the need to combat it in the education system, highlighting the following problems: the lack of a unified theoretical and empirical base for organizing a mechanism for preventing and eradicating corruption in the higher education system; insufficient development of theoretical and methodological approaches to the implementation of forms of socio-legal control of corruption in relation to higher education institutions; low the level of effectiveness of the impact of anti-corruption mechanisms in the higher education system. Using the materials of law enforcement practice, the authors characterize "corruption crimes" in the field of education, define the boundaries of the corpus delicti, and the problems of its qualification within the framework of a separate article of the Special Part of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. Based on the results of the study, the authors formulated a number of proposals aimed at creating effective organizational and legal mechanisms for anti-corruption security in the field of education and increasing the competitiveness of educational services. Firstly, legislative initiatives (development of an anti-corruption strategy in education), detailing the legal definition of "corruption in the educational sphere", tougher penalties for acts of a corrupt nature. Secondly, preventive measures that prevent and suppress corrupt practices in the educational environment. Thirdly, the state management of the education system, aimed at effective and comprehensive monitoring of compliance by universities with federal legislation. The authors emphasize the importance of educational initiatives that promote information awareness and transparency in the implementation of anti-corruption programs in the field of education.

The structures have to be assessed for its failures caused by design and construction errors, material deterioration, adverse environment effect hence monitoring the structural health has shown to be a reliable method of assuring the structural integrity. The advanced development of sensor technology and sensing material are the most attractive parts of evaluating structural health. The change in stress, strain, crack formation, temperature variation is measured using fiber optic sensors, piezometers and other sensor types are often utilized in health monitoring systems. Sensors can degrade over time due to exposure to moisture, temperature fluctuations, wearing and tearing or physical impacts. Additionally, installing and maintaining sensors can be costly. These restrictions might be addressed by incorporating sensing technology, such as smart sensing concrete, into concrete structures. This paper explores the piezo resistive properties in concrete by introducing functional fillers like carbon fiber, carbon nano tubes, graphene materials to make electrically conductive concrete that are used to assess its own deformation. This technology could lead to more efficient maintenance and repair processes, ultimately increasing the lifespan of buildings and bridges reduces the wastage of resources leads to sustainability

Authors: Zakirova Alina R. , Torgashin Alexander N. , Rodionova Svetlana S.
Published: November 2024

Background. Avascular necrosis of the femoral head (ANFH) is a disabling disease that often leads to hip replacement. Due to the increasing incidence among the young population, various methods of organ-preserving treatment aimed at slowing down the progression of ANFH and preserving the functions of the hip joint have been proposed. Today, there is a lot of controversy and disagreement over the procedure of introducing bone marrow-derived multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells (MMSCs) into the site of osteonecrosis.
The aim of the study — a systematic analysis of the accumulated literature data on the effectiveness, safety, advantages and disadvantages of treating patients with aseptic necrosis of the femoral head by the tunneling method using bone marrow-derived MMSCs, as well as their impact on reducing the risk of disease progression and long-term treatment results.
Methods. A 10-year literature search (2013-2023) was performed in the PubMed, Scopus and eLIBRARY databases. According to our inclusion criteria, the review included 8 high-quality studies that examined the use of MMSCs as part of bone marrow concentrate for the treatment of ANFH.
Results. The surgical outcomes of 368 patients (548 hips) from 8 studies were analyzed. The mean follow-up period was from 24 to 360 months. In most cases, functional indicators improved. In the main group, where mesenchymal stromal cells were used, X-ray progression to the next stage occurred in 31.25% of cases and the need for endoprosthetics was 30.6%; in the comparison group, the progression occurred in 68.75% of cases and the need for endoprosthetics was 69.4 %.
Conclusion. The use of multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells in the complex treatment of ANFH in the early (ARCO I, II, IIIA) stages of the disease can improve the hip joint function, slow down the progression of the disease and reduce the need for endoprosthetics.

Authors: Trachuk Pavel A. , Trachuk Aleksandr P. , Bogopolskiy Oleg E.
Published: November 2024

Background. The patellar tendon is frequently used as a graft source for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. The search of the factors that enhance the healing process of the donor site may contribute to improved anatomical and functional outcomes.
The aim of the study — to determine the features of the harvesting techniques for better donor site healing by examining postoperative changes in the patellar tendon following two different graft harvesting methods.
Methods. This study examined the condition of the patellar tendon after two methods of graft harvesting under the same early mobilization protocols. Group 1 (retrospective) enrolled 30 patients who underwent follow-up MRI at different times after surgery, during which ligamentous and bony defects were not closed. Group 2 (prospective) included 30 patients who received full-layer suturing of the patellar tendon and patellar and tibial bone defects plasty. Postoperatively, all patients underwent radiography and the Insall-Salvati ratio of their patellar position was evaluated. In Group 2, MRI was performed preoperatively and 12 months post-surgery, while CT scans were taken 1 day and 6 months post-surgery. MRI was utilized to measure the size and qualitatively assess the condition of the tendon, whereas bone defects were evaluated on CT scans.
Results. The Insall-Salvati ratio of patellar position was within the physiological norm and did not differ between the groups (M1 = 1.11; SD1 = 0.13 and M2 = 1.12; SD2 = 0.15; p = 0.955). In Group 2, after 12 months, the length of the tendon was 3.1% shorter (M = -1.4 mm; SD = 2.4 mm; p = 0.003). The width of the tendon in the upper third and middle third was slightly increased (M = 0.3 mm; SD = 2.4 mm; p = 0.502 and M = 0.5 mm; SD = 2.1 mm; p = 0.205), while in the lower third it was 2.7% larger (M = 0.7 mm; SD = 1.7 mm; p = 0.034). The thickness of the tendon increased by 55% (M = 2.4 mm; SD = 1.6 mm; p = 0.001). All patients in Group 1 exhibited persistent bony and ligamentous defects. In Group 2, six months after surgery, cancellous bone filled the defects and integrated with the bone bed; 12 months later, the tendon was healed, and its shape and size approximated preoperative parameters.
Conclusion. Full-layer suturing of the patellar tendon, reconstruction of defects using cancellous bone autograft, and early mobilization promote the healing of bone defects and restore the integrity, shape, and size of the tendon.
Guaranteed healthcare financing and population health capital indicators in Russia
Authors: Krivko Lyudmila V. , Kolushkina Ekaterina V.
Published: November 2024

BACKGROUND: Healthcare financing is essential for achieving the Government's social objectives and ensuring the strategic maintenance of population health capital. The statutory health insurance (SHI) scheme accounts for more than 48% of guaranteed healthcare financing.
AIM: To analyze the relationship between basic integral indicators of population health capital and the level of healthcare financing provided by the SHI scheme.
METHODS: The study employed regression correlation analysis, time series analysis, and comparative analysis of quantitative and qualitative indicators.
RESULTS: As part of the SHI scheme in 2011–2022, healthcare financing showed significant underfunding and a reduced coverage of the population with timely and high-quality healthcare. Government expenditures as part of the SHI scheme are determined by the changes in the gross domestic product per capita. The amount of guaranteed healthcare expenditures does not directly determine the life expectancy, birth rate, or disability levels. The scale of financing as part of the statutory health insurance scheme only partially mediates the variation of such health capital indicators as natural population growth and general morbidity.
CONCLUSION: The absence of a clear positive correlation between SHI financing and health capital indicators during the 2011–2022 period highlights the need for improving the efficiency of resource allocation and the performance of healthcare processes.
Medical and sociological analysis of health status and quality of life of persons aged 60 and older in the Grodno Region
Authors: Surmach Marina Yu. , Korneiko Pavel L.
Published: November 2024

BACKGROUND: Understanding the relationship between self-assessment of health status and quality of life, and social and demographic factors and population health indicators is essential to identify risk groups and provide rationale for the healthcare development in the region.
AIM: To substantiate the relationship between self-assessment of quality of life and satisfaction with health status, and social and demographic factors and actual health indicators for residents of the Grodno Region aged 60 and older.
METHODS: We analyzed the demographics and healthcare statistics, a database of 1,270 individuals aged 60 and older representative of the Grodno Region of the Republic of Belarus by sex, place of residence, and age. A short quality of life questionnaire issued by the World Health Organization was used, and nonparametric statistical methods were applied.
RESULTS: Life expectancy in the Grodno Region is close to the national average, with men in rural areas showing the lowest values across all regions. Heart diseases are by far the leading cause of death. In self-assessment of the quality of life, the predominant options selected by the respondents are “Good” or “Neither bad nor good,” while in self-assessment of the health status satisfaction, the predominant options selected by the respondents are “Neither satisfied nor dissatisfied.” Men (as compared with women), rural residents (as compared with urban residents), unmarried people (as compared with married people) have lower ratings of their quality of life. The hypothesis that children have a positive impact on the respondent’s quality of life is confirmed, while the hypothesis that old-age pension affects it is not confirmed. Health status satisfaction shows tolerance to social and demographic factors. A positive average correlation of health status satisfaction and self-assessment of quality of life is identified in all social and age groups. The higher the age, the lower the self-assessment of the quality of life, and the health status satisfaction is even lower.
CONCLUSION: Men aged 60 and older living in rural areas are at risk based on low self-assessment ratings of quality of life in relation to low life expectancy. However, no gender differences were found in health satisfaction ratings.
Efficiency study of microsurgical treatment of cerebral aneurysms: reducing the risk of disability
Authors: Mamytov Mitalip M. , Kozubaev Ulanbek U.
Published: November 2024

BACKGROUND: Despite the improvement of diagnostic and microsurgery techniques used to treat cerebral aneurysms (CAs), the risk of mortality and permanent disability in the working-age population is still high.
AIM: To determine the efficiency factors of surgical treatment of patients with cerebral aneurysms (CAs).
METHODS: The article shows the results of examination and surgical treatment of 86 patients in the Neurosurgery Clinic of the National Hospital of the Kyrgyz Republic from 2017 to 2023. The patients’ age ranged from 23 to 78 with an average age of (47±1.7), including 48 (55.8%) men and 38 (44.2%) women. In 47 patients (54.6%), cerebral aneurysm was confirmed by selective cerebral angiography. The aneurysm size ranged from miliary (3 mm) to giant (25–30 mm).
RESULTS: In patients with ruptured cerebral aneurysms (CAs), clinical findings were associated with extensive subarachnoid hemorrhage, site and volume of intracerebral hematomas. In patients with unruptured aneurysms, the findings were associated with the site and the size of CAs. Rupture of the aneurysm sac at different stages of the surgery (15.1% of cases) is a severe intraoperative complication. The worst outcomes with a mortality rate of up to 4.17% were observed in patients with ruptured CAs who have Hunt Hess grade III and IV, and Glasgow Coma Scale scores of 7–8 and 9–10. If it is difficult to directly access the aneurysm, it is reasonable to perform microsurgical subpial resection of abnormal brain tissues around the aneurysm to avoid traumatic injury of aneurysm walls, and artery spasm. To avoid aneurysmal rupture when isolating the aneurysmal neck, it is reasonable to temporarily use special removable (temporary) clips on the proximal and distal segments of the carrier vessel. Once the aneurysmal neck has been isolated, a special clip is applied. If possible, the patency and integrity of the carrier vessel and its branches shall be preserved. To confirm that there is no blood flow in the aneurysm and assess the arterial patency, we recommend to use intraoperative microvascular Doppler ultrasonography.
CONCLUSION: The outcome of surgical treatment for ruptured aneurysms depended on the preoperative patient status. Microsurgical cerebral aneurysm (CA) clipping effectively prevents recurrent subarachnoid hemorrhage. While the patients may have no intraoperative and early postoperative complications, late complications requiring additional surgery are still possible.

This research focuses on understanding how different elements of the visual identity of companies, both family-owned and non-family-owned, affect consumer perception and emotion. Purpose of the article: The purpose of the study was to identify and characterize differences in the perception of logos of family and non-family businesses. The work aimed to determine whether family brands evoke stronger emotional and visual engagement compared to non-family brands. Research methods: The paper presents the methodology and results of the completed research on the elements of visual identity of family and non-family businesses. The study was carried out using eye tracking (eye tracking) and monitoring of respondents’ facial expressions (face reading). Data on respondents’ visual activity and facial expression were collected in parallel and subjected to qualitative analysis. Main findings: The results of the study confirm that consumers show greater emotional involvement in exploring family brands. They registered a higher percentage of positive emotions and a longer time of focusing their eyes on logos of family-owned companies compared to logos of non-family-owned companies. This analysis provides valuable information for marketing strategies, indicating the importance of family identity in building positive brand associations.
