Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) of patients regarding the herpes zoster (HZ) vaccine who attended primary healthcare centers (PHCs) in the central region of Saudi Arabia.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted between July and August 2023 among patients who attended PHCs in the central area of Saudi Arabia, using a self-administered validated questionnaire design based on a previous study.
Results: Out of 420 participants in this study, 95.7% had a positive attitude, 83.8% had good knowledge, and only 5.8% had good practice with the HZ vaccine. Regarding the association with KAP, those with a 5,00010,000 SAR family monthly income and a university education degree both had a significant positive influence on knowledge (p-value = 0.0001 and p-value= < 0.0001, respectively) and attitude (p-value = 0.002 and p-value= < 0.0001, respectively), while a negative impact on practice (p-value = 0.001 and p-value = 0.002, respectively).
Conclusion: This study highlighted an overall good knowledge and positive attitude of PHC patients towards HZ vaccination; however, the practice was poor. More educational campaigns are required to enhance the practice of HZ vaccination, especially among the high-risk population in Saudi Arabia.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of anxiety and depressive disorders among migraine patients at King Fahad Specialist Hospital (KFSH) in Qassim, Saudi Arabia.
Methods: This cross-sectional study surveyed 176 migraine patients at KFSH in the Al-Qassim region using the validated Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) to assess depression severity and to evaluate the anxiety symptoms, the general anxiety disorder-7 (GAD-7) was used.
Results: This study investigated the prevalence of anxiety and depression in 176 migraine patients, of which 81.8% were females. Depression as measured by the PHQ9 criteria, was diagnosed in 19.9% of patients, while 30.7% experienced mild anxiety, 18.8% moderate, and 10.2% severe. No significant associations were found between depression and sociodemographic factors, except for a trend towards higher depression in single individuals.
Conclusion: This study highlighted the co-occurrence of depression and anxiety in individuals with migraine, revealing that nearly 20% experience depression and two-thirds suffer from anxiety, emphasizing the necessity for an integrated approach to address physical and mental health among migraine patients. Additional research to validate this finding is required.

A organização estrutural e a distribuição de proteoglicanos da matriz extracelular da cartilagem articular de galinhas jovens adultas foram analisadas, utilizando amostras das superfícies lateral e medial do tarsometatarso. Para análise estrutural, os cortes foram corados com Azul de Alcian e Xylidine-ponceau e analisados por microscopia de campo claro e luz polarizada. Para análise bioquímica, os componentes da matriz extracelular foram extraídos com cloridrato de guanidina 4M, dosados, fracionados por cromatografia de gel filtração e trova iônica e analisados por eletroforese em suporte de agarose, agarose-poliacrilamida e poliacrilamida. A análise estrutural mostrou que as fibrilas de colágeno estavam dispostas transversalmentte na periferia das duas regiões. A área central da região lateral apresentou reatividade mais intensa para Azul de Alcian. O conteúdo de ácido urônico da região lateral foi maior que a medial. A análise de glicosaminoglicanos em géis de agarose revelou a presença apenas de condroitim-sulfato. Este não apresentou diferenças em relação ao tamanho de cadeia. A análise dos grandes proteoglicanos revelou moléculas maiores na região medial. As bandas eletroforéticas correspondentes a Mr de 230, 220, 180 e 59 kDa apresentaram reatividade para Fibormodulim nas duas regiões. A banda eletroforética correspondente a 75kDa apresentou reatividade para Decorim nas duas regiões. As alterações observadas quanto a metacromasia tecidual e distribuição de proteoglicanos entre as regiões da cartilagem do tarsometatarso podem estar relacionadas a diferenças quanto a distribuição de forças mecânicas sobre a superfície articular.

Сформирована математическая модель для первичных сигналов лазерного гироскопа, которая учитывает связь встречных оптических волн, механическое вращение корпуса лазерного гироскопа и аддитивный шум. Исследована чувствительность к возмущениям входной информации метода вычисления мгновенной фазы Саньяка с компенсацией динамического захвата на базе лазерного гироскопа с гармонической частотной подставкой без ошумления. Для анализа корректности работы метода вычисления мгновенной фазы Саньяка с компенсацией динамического захвата полученные результаты сравниваются с угловой скоростью, найденной в результате аналитического решения дифференциального уравнения лазерного гироскопа с нулевой зоной захвата. Зафиксированы фазовые ошибки между исследуемым и эталонным сигналами угловой скорости вращения лазерного гироскопа. Определено влияние квазибелого шума, изменения значений амплитуд первичных сигналов и сдвига фаз между квадратурными сигналами и сигналом переменной составляющей суммы мощностных сигналов на зарегистрированные отсчеты угловой скорости вращения корпуса лазерного гироскопа.

The mathematical model for laser gyroscope primary signals that includes coupling between counter-propagating optical waves, mechanical rotation of laser gyroscope body and additive noise is formed. The sensitivity of the method to calculate the instantaneous Sagnac phase with compensation for dynamic lock-in to input perturbations is studied on the basis of laser gyroscope having the harmonic dither unnoised. To analyze the method to calculate the instantaneous Sagnac phase with compensation for dynamic lock-in, the results obtained are compared with the angular rate being the analytical solution of differential equation for laser gyroscope with zero lock-in zone. Phase errors between a test signal and a reference signal of angular rotation rate of laser gyroscope are recorded. The effect of quasi-white noise, changes in primary signal amplitudes and phase shift between quadrature signals and the signal being the alternating component of power signal sum is determined on the registered counts of angular rotation rate of laser gyroscope body.

Authors: Владимир Георгиевич Бабиков , Олег Владимирович Бабиков
Published: October 2024

Исследование поведения клиентов розничного банка позволяет получить некоторые закономерности, необходимые для построения модели сбалансированного распределения процентных ставок по пассивным финансовым инструментам. Решение этой задачи позволяет существенно повысить эффективность финансовой организации. В целях изучения поведения розничных клиентов банка и проработки методики построения модели сбалансированного распределения были исследованы два типа финансовых инструментов: текущие счета, срочные депозиты. Основным результатом настоящей работы является установление оптимального соотношения процентных ставок по остаткам на расчётных счетах при заданных процентных ставках по депозитам и при условии сформированных ожиданий изменения будущих рыночных процентных ставок. Вследствие чего банки получают удобный, универсальный, простой в~интерпретации подход для выработки оптимальной стратегии по управлению финансовыми инструментами. Входными параметрами для принятия управленческих решений при установлении процентных ставок являются поведенческие характеристики клиентов и ожидания руководства банка относительно поведения процентных ставок в будущие периоды. На практике описанный в~статье подход даёт существенную экономию издержек банка, которая может составлять до 10—15 \% от текущей стоимости фондирования.

Retail bank client’s behavior investigation allows us to obtain some necessary patterns for the balanced interest rates distribution model development. In order to study the behavior of retail bank clients and for the balanced interest rates distribution model developing, two types of financial instruments were studied: current accounts, deposits. The main result of this paper is the optimal ratio of current account interest rates establishing at given interest rates on deposits (in conditions of exact future market interest rates expectations). The approach outlined in the article offers banks a convenient, versatile, and easily understandable method for elaborating an optimal strategy to manage financial instruments. Key input parameters for decision-making in interest rate setting encompass the behavioral attributes of clients and the anticipations of bank management concerning future interest rate trends. In practical application, this approach leads to substantial cost reductions for banks, potentially yielding savings of up to 10--15 \% of their current funding expenses.

В работе также приводятся рекомендации, направленные на то, чтобы избежать нефизических решений, минимизировать компенсаторные эффекты при корректировке модельных параметров, включая нейтронные константы и технологические параметры, обеспечить возможность вовлечь в анализ эксперименты, носящие противоречивый характер.

The article presents a comprehensive review of state-of-the-art approaches to diagnosing and assessing the quality of data assimilation results in neutronics modeling problems. Despite the widespread use of data assimilation procedures worldwide to refine the parameters of neutronics models based on reactor experiment results there is a lack of attention given to the issues of diagnostics and quality assessment in this specific area. This stage is crucial in ensuring the reliability and accuracy of assimilation results. By adhering to relevant recommendations, it is possible to avoid obtaining non-physical solutions, minimize compensatory effects when adjusting initial data, and include contradictory experiments in the analysis. The article discusses the most popular metrics and approaches for assessing the quality of covariance data, as well as indicators of informativeness and similarity between reactor physics experiments and the target object. It also covers methods for identifying contradictory experiments and diagnosing the quality of the solution using various statistical indicators. The article highlights the areas of application for different metrics and approaches, as well as their advantages and disadvantages, providing recommendations for their use.

Реализация описанной технологии калибровки в совокупности с технологией калибровки существующих датчиков магнитной индукции позволила обеспечить калибровку всех параметров магнитоградиентной измерительной системы и определение точного взаимного расположения датчиков и взаимной ориентации всех осей чувствительности.

A technology for bench calibration of a tensor magnetogradient measuring system is proposed. The proposed algorithms are based on assessing the influence of a reference magnetic source, described by the spatial distribution of the scalar magnetic potential, on the calibrated magnetogradiometer. Algorithms have been developed for additional calibration of vector sensors, which must be performed at a point with a minimum magnetic field gradient or in a solenoidal field. An algorithm has been developed for estimating the position of the base sensor, which consists of sequential rotations of the magnetogradient measuring system around its center with a stationary calibrated field source. An algorithm has been developed for estimating the direction of the dipole moment vector for a known position of the sensor relative to the field source. An algorithm has been developed for estimating the position of vector sensors relative to the base one. An algorithm for calibration technology for a tensor magnetogradiometer has been developed. The implementation of the described calibration technology in conjunction with the calibration technology of existing magnetic induction sensors made it possible to ensure the calibration of all parameters of the magnetogradient measuring system and the determination of the exact relative position of the sensors and the relative orientation of all sensitivity axes.
Комплексная оценка информационных рисков. i: краткий обзор подходов и методов
Authors: Анастасия Сергеевна Рей , Андрей Олегович Калашников
Published: October 2024

Сложные информационные системы (в частности, системы Интернета вещей) характеризуются различными видами неопределённости. Среди них можно выделить неопределённость значений отдельных факторов оценки состояния системы в целом, неопределённость взаимного влияния элементов системы друг на друга, а также неопределённости зависимости риска системы в целом от значений локальных рисков как характерные для этого класса систем. Существующие методы оценки информационных рисков сложных систем не учитывают перечисленные типы неопределённости одновременно. В то же время, поскольку именно неопределённость является причиной отклонения системы от целевого режима функционирования, необходимость учитывать хотя бы основные её виды при оценке рисков очевидна. Предлагаемая статья содержит краткий обзор существующих подходов к оценке рисков информационных систем, а также анализ возможности учета перечисленных выше видов неопределенности в рамках каждого из них. По итогам анализа в качестве перспективного был выбран метод комплексной оценки, изначально разработанный для механизма комплексного оценивания организационных систем и в последние годы все чаще использующийся для оценки рисков, в том числе в информационных системах.

Complex information systems (in particular, Internet of Things systems) are characterized by various types of uncertainty. Among them, one can distinguish the uncertainty of the values of individual factors for assessing the state of the system as a whole, the uncertainty of the mutual influence of system elements on each other, as well as the uncertainty of the dependence of the risk of the system as a whole on the values of local risks — as characteristic of this class of systems. The existing methods of assessing information risks of complex systems do not take into account the listed types of uncertainty at the same time. At the same time, since uncertainty is the reason for the deviation of the system from the target mode of operation, the need to take into account at least its main types when assessing risks is obvious. The proposed article contains a brief overview of existing approaches to risk assessment of information systems, as well as an analysis of the possibility of taking into account the above types of uncertainty within each of them. Based on the results of the analysis, the integrated assessment method was chosen as a promising one, originally developed for the mechanism of integrated assessment of organizational systems, and in recent years it has been increasingly used for risk assessment, including in information systems.
International Plato Society: History and Prospects
Authors: L. Brisson
Published: October 2024

The publication is a slightly altered inaugural lecture presented at the midterm meeting of the International Plato Society which took place at Saint Petersburg on 28-30 August 2018. The midterm was entitled Plato hodie: The universe of Platos thought. The author sketches a brief history of the IPS, describes the international organization of the Society, and explains its aims and prospects, before proceeding to the context of the upcoming Symposium Platonicum xii that is going to take place in Paris on 15-20 July 2019, and will focus on Platos Parmenides. This work of Platos remains an odd dialogue which, since Antiquity, has given rise to multiple interpretations. However, none of these answers the crucial question on the relation between the second part of the Parmenides and the historical Parmenides Poem. Until now, Platonic interpreters have made the subject of , to which an existential meaning is given. In Parmenides Poem, however, appears only once, in the position of an attribute. This encourages one to propose a new interpretation of the second part of Platos dialogue. At the same time, the new reading of the Parmenides calls into question not only an interpretation of the dialogue, but also of Parmenides Poem.
New Strategies for Reading Plato’s Ion
Authors: L. Ferroni , A. Mace
Published: October 2024

How should we read Platos Ion today In this paper, the authors present the strategy of contextualisation that they have developed in their recent edition, translation and running commentary of the dialogue. They approached the text by means of a twofold contextualisation: an exhaustive analysis of all the available textual evidence, on the one hand an extended cultural contextualisation of the encounter between Socrates and Ion, a probably fictional rhapsode specialised in Homer, on the other. Read against the background of ancient institutions and history it draws upon, this short dialogue reveals more philosophical freedom and originality than it is usually granted. The Ion lays the principles of a Platonic philosophy of practices and turns the dialogue form into a flexible genre of writing apt to test all practices with respect to their intrinsic claims to knowledge. The dialogues literary form is akin to the point of view of the idits, the ignorant lover of knowledge, Socrates.
Logos as “weaving together or communion of indications about ousia” in Plato’s Sophist
Authors: M.G. Mouzala
Published: October 2024

In this paper, we set out to show that in the Sophist the interweaving of Forms (sumplok tn eidn) is the substantial presupposition of the existence of logos, because what we do when we think and produce vocal speech is understanding by our dianoia the way in which the Forms are interwoven, and what we weave together in our speech are indications about ousia (peri tn ousian delmata). Dianoia conceives of the relations between the Forms, and these relations are reflected in our thought and its natural image, vocal speech. We support the idea that we cannot interpret the Platonic conception of the relationship between language and reality through the Aristotelian semiotic triangle, because according to it the relation between pragmata or onta and logos becomes real through the medium of thought (nomata). On the contrary, logos in Plato has an unmediated relation with reality and is itself reckoned among beings. In parallel, we set out to show the difference between the Platonic conception of logos and the Gorgianic approach to it, as well as the approaches of other Sophists and Antisthenes. Logos itself in Plato is a weaving which reflects the interweaving of Forms, while vocal speech is a natural image of thought. Logos in its dual meaning, dianoia and vocal speech, is illustrated in Dialectic, because as vocal speech is a mirror to dianoia, so Dialectic is a means which clearly reflects the thinking procedures of dianoia.
Тройной «Ион»: о последних изданиях диалога
Authors: Алексей Викторович Гараджа
Published: October 2024

В платоновском корпусе «Ион» выделяется как своей тематикой (исток художественного творения: искусство и ум либо одержимость,божественное вдохновение?), так и стилем - необычайно немногословным и прямолинейным. Последнее можно воспринять и как особенно изощренную иронию - именно в этом духе, как острую шутку, как «откровенную насмешку ()», истолковал этот текст Гете. Его современники Аст и Беккер, ранние издатели платоновского корпуса, предпочли исключить диалог из числа подлинных. Вплоть до наших дней высказываются сомнения в авторстве «Иона». Не находя никаких очевидных признаков неподлинности диалога, такой авторитет, как Хольгер Теслефф, всё-таки относит его к категории . В последнее время вышло сразу три критических издания «Иона», каждое по-своему замечательное. Начало положила Карлотта Капуччино (2005), продолжил Альберт Рейксбарон (2007); наконец, завершает этот ряд совсем свежее (2018) издание Лоренцо Феррони и Арно Масе. В статье дается краткий обзор каждого из этих трех изданий и ставится вопрос о принципах толкования, созвучный намеченной в «Ионе» альтернативе. Что сегодня предпочтительней - вдумчивое и дотошное исследование и восстановление текста и контекста памятника либо более или менее творческие наития, которым в принципе не интересно «тело» текста, история его возникновения и предания, а важен набор идей, вычитываемый в идеальном образе этого текста.

In the , the dialogue stands out both for its subject (what is the origin of the work of art, mastership and rational ability, or rather ,divine inspiration?) and the mode of its presentation, which is unusually succinct and straightforward. The latter may be perceived as an extremely sophisticated irony - that is how, as a practical joke, as ‘a sheer ’, the text had been interpreted byGoethe. His contemporaries Ast and Bekker, the early editors of the , preferred to exclude the dialogue from the list of the authentic works of Plato. Doubts about the authorship of the are being expressed till nowadays. Holger Thesleff fails to find evidence of the dialogue’s unauthenticity, but still counts it among the .In recent years, no less than three critical editions of the have been published, each of them remarkable in its own way. Carlotta Capuccino made a good start (2005), Albert Rijksbaron carried on robustly (2007); finally, Lorenzo Ferroni and Arnaud Macé offered their own spic-and-span edition (2018). The article surveys each of these three editions and raises a question about the interpretation of literary works along the lines sketched in the . What is preferable today: a rational and thorough examination and restoration of a text, or more or less inventive intuitions that would ignore the ‘body’of the text, the history of its emergence and tradition, and play with a set of constructs picked in an ideal image of the text.
Towards Hypervalent Iodine Macrocycle based Supramolecular Cages
Authors: Pandey Krishna , Uddin Ain , Plunkett Kyle
Published: October 2024

Supramolecular cages, featuring well-defined molecular cavities, have gained interest in material chemistry owing to their adjustable shapes and sizes, selective host-guest chemistry, and dynamic bonding behavior. This study explored our attempts to synthesize supramolecular cages based on dynamic secondary bonding in hypervalent iodine systems. Hypervalent iodine-based cage precursors consisting of two iodine centers were linked together by di-yne pillars were successfully synthesized in multiple steps. Unfortunately, preliminary attempts to convert the cage precursor into a desired cage material have resulted in insoluble materials that are difficult to characterize. As an attempt to address solubility issues, an alternative alkoxy derived cage precursor was synthesized successfully in multiple steps. Upon attempted formation of the cage compound, these soluble chain-containing materials also suffered from low solubilities. The general design strategy and synthesis of the precursor materials is provided.
Elucidation of the activity and pH stability limits of polyoxometalate-intercalated layered double hydroxide nanocomposites towards water oxidation catalysis

Published: October 2024

The inclusion of water oxidation active polyoxometalates (POMs) inside layered materials is a promising strategy to increase their catalytic efficiency while overcoming their fragility under homogeneous conditions. In this sense, intercalation of POMs in the interlaminar space of layered double hydroxides (LDHs), formed by positively charged brucite-type inorganic layers, is a very interesting strategy that is gaining attention in the field. Despite their huge potential, there is a lack of accurate characterization of the materials, especially after their use as water oxidation catalysts in pH conditions in which the POM counterpart has been demonstrated to be unstable (strong alkali media). For this reason and as a proof-of-concept, we have intercalated the well-known [Co4(H2O)2(PW9O34)2]10- POM (Co4-POM) in the lamellar space of the Mg2Al-LDH layered double hydroxide, to study its catalytical capabilities and stability. Remarkably, the nanocomposites show improved water oxidation efficiencies with excellent stability in close-to-neutral media compared to the water-insoluble cesium salt of Co4-POM or commercial Co3O4. However, thorough post-catalytic characterization of the nanocomposites demonstrates that the polyoxotungstate framework of the POM suffers from hydrolytic instability in strong alkali conditions, leading to the formation of a mixed-valence cobalt(II/III) oxide in the interlayer space of Mg2Al-LDH. This work highlights the importance of accurately assessing the fate of the catalytical POM after the catalytic reaction, especially when employing conditions outside the pH stability window of the POM, which can lead to erroneous conclusions and mistaken catalytic activities.

Published: October 2024

Ion transport across biological lipid membranes is crucial for both health and disease, prompting investigation into synthetic ion transporters as potential therapeutics. However, state of the art methods for assessing transporter activity are often time-consuming and resource-intensive, hindering the screening of large compound libraries. In this work we have developed an automated high-throughput assay capable of determining 24 EC50 values in a single day. This assay, adapted from the established lucigenin Cl-/NO3- antiport method, has been optimised for multi-well plates with fully automated liquid handling. Notably, our protocol allows for the use of DMSO as a delivery solvent for target molecules, enhancing its versatility. Validation with six standard ion transporters demonstrated a strong correlation between the EC50 values obtained through our assay and previously reported values, confirming its efficacy and potential for broader applications in the field of ion transport.

Pharmaco - Therapeutic Classification of Drugs In Brihatrayi- A Review
Authors: Suma V Mallya , Tanuja M Nesari
Published: October 2024

Ayurveda proclaims that there is nothing in the universe that is non-medicinal. Though numerous medicinal plants are found to exist in the world. only a few among them have been identified classified and described with their properties and uses. Different ways of classification of plants are seen in Veda and Ayurveda based on the lines of their origin. properties and actions for the purpose of identification and utilization. Charaka classified drugs in 50 groups. each containing 10 drugs and named it as Dashemani whereas Sushruta named plant under the heading Gana. Hence an attempt has been made to show different systems of drug classification in Brihatrayi and their rationality in therapeutics.

Published: October 2024

Specimen homogenization and the addition of anticoagulants are pre-analytical steps that influence the accuracy of the test results. Complete blood count (CBC) is a screening test that supports disease diagnosis and aids in determining the appropriate therapy for patients. Inadequate specimens are inappropriate for subsequent testing, as they can lead to inaccurate results in the CBC examination. This study aims to determine the optimization of complete blood count results with variations in specimen handling and secondary homogenization techniques for whole blood. The type of research used is quantitative analysis using laboratory experimental methods. The study was conducted in May 2024 in the Clinical Pathology Laboratory of the Diploma-4 Medical Laboratory Technology Study Program, Faculty of Health Sciences, Muhammadiyah University of Sidoarjo, using 48 blood samples. The results of the MANOVA test indicate that the type of anticoagulant has a significant effect on the erythrocyte count (p=0.041) but does not have a significant impact on the leukocyte count (p=0.844) and platelet count (p=0.920). Meanwhile, the homogenization technique does not significantly affect the erythrocyte count (p=0.959), leukocyte count (p=0.991), or platelet count (p=0.867). This study concludes that the secondary homogenization technique has no significant effect. In contrast, the type of anticoagulant significantly impacts the results of the Complete Blood Count (CBC) test. This research suggests collecting whole blood specimens using Ethylene Diamine Tetra Acetate (EDTA) vacutainers as the anticoagulant and applying a secondary homogenization technique before performing the CBC analysis.

Advancements and Applications of Convolutional Neural Network Models in Cardiovascular Disease: A Comprehensive Review
Authors: Wang Lu , Fan Yongmei , Xiao Chunxia , Ouyang Weina
Published: October 2024

In recent years, artificial intelligence (AI) has demonstrated remarkable advancements in the field of cardiovascular disease (CVD), particularly in the analysis of electrocardiograms (ECGs). Due to its widespread use, low cost, and high efficiency, the ECG has long been regarded as a cornerstone of cardiological examinations and remains the most widely utilized diagnostic tool in cardiology. The integration of AI, especially deep learning (DL) technologies based on convolutional neural networks (CNNs), into ECG analysis, has shown immense potential across several cardiological subfields. Deep learning methods have provided robust support for the rapid interpretation of ECGs, enabling the fine-grained analysis of ECG waveform changes with diagnostic accuracy comparable to that of expert cardiologists. Additionally, CNN-based models have proven capable of capturing subtle ECG changes that are often undetectable by traditional methods, accurately predicting complex conditions such as atrial fibrillation, left and right ventricular dysfunction, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, acute coronary syndrome, and aortic stenosis. This highlights the broad application potential of AI in the diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases. However, despite their extensive applications, CNN models also face significant limitations, primarily related to the reliability of the acquired data, the opacity of the “black box” processes, and the associated medical, legal, and ethical challenges. Addressing these limitations and seeking viable solutions remain critical challenges in modern medicine.
