A VIRTUAL FINITE VOLUME METHOD FOR COMPUTATIONAL FLUID DYNAMICS
Authors: Runchal Akshai K. , Rajagopal Pachalla S , Rao Madhukar M. , Addaguduri Chakrapani
Published: July 2024

The virtual finite volume method (VFVM), based on Voronoi diagrams, is developed, and applied to two benchmark
simulations of laminar and turbulent flows. The results of the VFVM are found to be closest to the benchmark for
turbulent flow compared to all-quad and triangular meshes. Additionally, the VFVM produced the smallest RMS
error for laminar flow on the coarsest mesh in comparison. The resources required to generate a high-quality mesh for
computational fluid dynamics (CFD) computations may well exceed those required for CFD computations. Further,
mesh-generation is a labor-intensive process that is difficult to automate. Meshless computing is therefore an active area of research. The article describes a finite volume method (FVM) that is mesh-less as far as the user is concerned. The mesh is generated from a cloud of distributed points automatically without any intervention by the CFD practitioner. We call this the virtual finite volume method. A key feature of the VFVM is that the mesh is generated from a point cloud that is converted into Voronoi diagrams. In the context of the FVM, Voronoi polygons (2D) or polyhedra (3D) have the important property that the line connecting two adjacent nodes is perpendicular to the common intervening
face and is bisected by it. This orthogonality allows for very efficient computation of diffusion and convection terms
and minimizes the numerical diffusion. The ANSWER® CFD solver has been extended to generate these Voronoi mesh systems automatically and allow for adaptive gridding to yield a high accuracy solution with optimal computational resources.

Key Points

Renovascular disease impairs the capacity of human adipose tissue–derived mesenchymal stem/stromal cells to repair ischemic murine kidneys.

miR-378h modulated the capacity of renovascular disease adipose tissue–derived mesenchymal stem/stromal cells to repair ischemic kidneys in vivo.

Background

Renovascular disease leads to renal ischemia, hypertension, and eventual kidney failure. Autologous transplantation of adipose tissue–derived mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs) improves perfusion and oxygenation in stenotic human kidneys, but associated atherosclerosis and hypertension might blunt their effectiveness. We hypothesized that renovascular disease alters the human MSC transcriptome and impairs their reparative potency.

Methods

MSCs were harvested from subcutaneous abdominal fat of patients with renovascular disease and healthy volunteers (n=3 each), characterized and subsequently injected (5×105/200 μl) into mice 2 weeks after renal artery stenosis or sham surgery (n=6/group). Two weeks later, mice underwent imaging and tissue studies. MSCs from healthy volunteers and in those with renovascular disease were also characterized by mRNA/microRNA (miRNA) sequencing. Based on these, MSC proliferation and mitochondrial damage were assessed in vitro before and after miRNA modulation and in vivo in additional renal artery stenosis mice administered with MSCs from renovascular disease pretreated with miR-378h mimic (n=5) or inhibitor (n=4).

Results

MSCs engrafted in stenotic mouse kidneys. Healthy volunteer MSCs (but not renovascular disease MSCs) decreased BP, improved serum creatinine levels and stenotic-kidney cortical perfusion and oxygenation, and attenuated peritubular capillary loss, tubular injury, and fibrosis. Genes upregulated in renovascular disease MSCs versus healthy volunteer MSCs were mostly implicated in transcription and cell proliferation, whereas those downregulated encoded mainly mitochondrial proteins. Upregulated miRNAs, including miR-378h, primarily target nuclear-encoded mitochondrial genes, whereas downregulated miRNAs mainly target genes implicated in transcription and cell proliferation. MSC proliferation was similar, but their mitochondrial structure and reparative function both in vivo and in vitro improved after miR-378h inhibition.

Conclusions

Renovascular disease impaired the reparative capacity of human MSCs, possibly by dysregulating miR-378h that targets mitochondrial genes.

Ethical considerations for artificial intelligence in dentistry
Authors: Maart Ronel , Mulder Riaan
Published: July 2024

The incorporation of artificial intelligence (AI) is accelerating in the dental field and even patients are catching on to the trend. There is a form of perceived pressure mounting on practitioners to incorporate modern dental equipment and online services to accelerate treatment time or supplement the diagnosis with visual treatment planning. Many of these applications utilise AI as part of the software to process the inserted data. The use of these products in practice presents various ethical dilemmas the clinician would need to mitigate. Practitioners who own or are considering adding applications and equipment that are AI-based to their treatment repertoire have an ethical and legal responsibility to ensure that the best interest and safety of the patient are observed. Patient autonomy and protection of all information become a paramount consideration over and above improving profit or personal gain. By no means could the ethical dilemmas in this communication be exhausted, as the rapid AI innovation and the dynamic nature of technological advances have the potential to raise even more debate. As a fraternity, we need to be vigilant and remain grounded with the basic ethical principles underpinned by autonomy, patient confidentiality/ privacy and the practitioner-patient relationship.
A importância dos parques urbanos no conforto térmico da população: breve revisão de literatura e estudo de caso para o Parque Areião (Goiânia-GO)
Authors: Vargas Yan Silva , Nascimento Diego Tarley Ferreira
Published: July 2024

Nas áreas urbanas, os parques surgem como ambientes promotores de melhores condições de conforto térmico, em razão da presença de vegetação e corpos hídricos. Desse modo, a problemática da pesquisa é entender como os parques influenciam o conforto térmico, contemplando uma revisão de literatura sobre a temática e um estudo de caso para o Parque Areião, situado em Goiânia-GO. Para tanto, foram coletados dados de temperatura e umidade relativa do ar em três pontos do Parque Areião em quatro datas, ao longo do inverno e da primavera de 2022 (agosto a novembro). De mesma forma, foram compilados dados registrados pela Estação Meteorológica Convencional de Goiânia (INMET), situada no centro da cidade, e considerado como quatro ponto amostra. Em seguida, foi realizado o cálculo da Temperatura Efetiva e Conforto Térmico. A análise dos dados apontou uma variação de temperatura efetiva entre os pontos de até 5,1 °C, com menores valores no interior do Parque Areião e maiores valores na estação do INMET, variando entre sensação térmica classificada como “Confortável” até “Muito Quente”. Desse modo, constatou-se que o Parque Areião promove um maior arrefecimento da temperatura do ar assim como a manutenção níveis de umidade do ar mais elevados, reforçando seu caráter microclimático.

Published: July 2024

Laut menjadi sangat penting karena berperan dalam proses terbentuknya awan dan hujan. Perubahan suhu muka laut dapat mempengaruhi kondisi atmosfer begitu pula sebaliknya. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah mengungkapkan hubungan antara indeks penguapan perairan di sekitar Provinsi Aceh dengan sebaran curah hujan di wilayah Provinsi Aceh. Analisis ini dihitung berdasarkan indikator suhu muka laut, suhu udara permukaan dan angin zonal permukaan. Analisis hubungan curah hujan dengan indeks penguapan menggunakan metode korelasi yang selanjutnya dispasialkan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Provinsi Aceh memiliki pola hujan yang beragam, curah hujan yang tinggi terjadi di wilayah tengah sampai ke wilayah barat selatan Provinsi Aceh dimana wilayah ini memiliki topografi tinggi, dan curah hujan semakin rendah ke arah timur dan utara Provinsi Aceh. Hubungan indeks penguapan di perairan sekitar Provinsi Aceh dengan sebaran curah hujan menunjukkan nilai korelasi yang sangat bervariasi, secara umum korelasi paling kuat terjadi di bulan Agustus dengan nilai korelasi 0,952 antara curah hujan di pos hujan Lamno dengan indeks penguapan di grid 17.The ocean is incredibly necessary as a role in the process of forming clouds and rain. Changes in sea surface temperature will affect part conditions and vice versa. This study purposed to reveal the connection between the evaporation index of the waters around Aceh Province and, therefore, the rainfall distribution in the Aceh Province. This analysis calculates supported sea surface temperature, surface air temperature, and surface zonal winds. Analysis of the relationship between rainfall and evaporation index mistreatment is the correlation technique that is then spatialized. The result shows that Aceh Province has a type of high rainfall pattern, that happens within the central region to the southwest region wherever this region is a high topography, while lower rainfall is obtained towards the east and north of Aceh Province. The correlation between the evaporation index in the waters around Aceh Province and therefore the distribution of rainfall shows an extremely variable correlation, generally, the strongest correlation occurs in August with a correlation value of 0.952 between rainfall in the Lamno rain post and the evaporation index on grid 17.

El fantasma y la neurosis obsesiva: una relación intrincada
Authors: Garcia Valenzuela Fabian Yesid ,   Universidad de Buenos Aires
Published: July 2024

El fantasma, como noción capital de la teoría psicoanalítica de orientación lacaniana, es un elemento de relevancia trascendental para la comprensión de las neurosis. El objetivo del presente artículo es desarrollar la particularidad fantasmática en la neurosis obsesiva a través de una revisión teórica de la obra de Jacques Lacan que abarca los años comprendidos entre 1954 a 1960. Lacan delinea el fantasma como una matriz estructural intrínseca al psiquismo, que evidencia la relación particular del sujeto con aquel objeto (a) que constituye la causa de su deseo inconsciente. A grandes rasgos, es posible conceptualizar al fantasma como una respuesta ante el enigma del deseo del Otro, de ahí que el fantasma sea el lugar en el que se decide una ética y es justo allí que se establece la función del síntoma en la cura. El fantasma deviene el norte en la dirección de la cura y es posible acercarse a él por la vía interpretativa, pues el analista, gracias a la trama transferencial, hace parte del fantasma.

Changes in land cover and use are caused mainly by anthropogenic factors; these can cause severe physical, territorial, and environmental damage; it is then necessary to warn and demonstrate their effects opportunely to contribute to mitigating their damages. The study was developed in the Guarainag Parish, Paute canton in the province of Azuay-Ecuador; it analyzed the changes in 17 types of land cover and use through a geographic information system from 2010 to 2020. The main results suggested an increase in areas of managed pasture, burned areas, and shrubby vegetation (Chaparro); results also included the reduction of areas of degraded pasture, plowed soil, and eroded soils, as well as, the changes of specific areas from degraded pasture to managed pasture, from plowed soil to degraded pasture and from plowed soil to managed pasture.
Active Love as Principle of Education: Dilemma of Freedom from Dostoevsky’s Perspective
Authors: Yu Sang-Baek
Published: July 2024

The ideological connection between Kant and Dostoevsky is confirmed by the fact that both men were interested in establishing the ideas of ‘freedom,’ ‘immortality of the soul,’ and ‘God’ as conditions of human existence and morality. In particular, both are identical in that they seek to rescue the Idee of ‘immortality of the soul’ and ‘God’ using ‘freedom’ as the foundation. However, while Kant emphasizes ‘transcendental freedom’ and ‘practical freedom’ established through philosophical demonstration, Dostoevsky emphasizes ‘freedom of the beginning’ and ‘freedom of the end’ revealed through narrative dialogue. This difference is actively embodied in his many works, especially in The Brothers Karamazov. Ivan in The Brothers Karamazov can be understood as a character who represents the dangers and limitations of Idee established through philosophical demonstration. The Brothers Karamazov, written as a refutation of Ivan’s argument, can be interpreted as a work that presents an alternative. The Brothers Karamazov can be understood as a work that exemplifies the ‘metapraxis perspective’ in that it shows that the description of the process of finding the true meaning of Idee can directly explain and convey Idee. Idee derived through philosophical demonstration denies the two semantic elements of metapraxis, ‘the principle of circularity’ and ‘the standpoint of personal participation’ and as a result, the Idee has no choice but to end up as an ideology, not an Idee. Idee can be established starting from the answerability of enduring evil and suffering here and now, and the realization of Idee is freedom.
The Moral and Educational Significance of Zhu Xi’s ZhongHeXinShuo(中和新說)
Authors: Heo Jin-Woong
Published: July 2024

The purpose of this study is to reveal the moral educational significance of Zhu Xi’s ZhongHeXinShuo(中和新說). Zhu Xi’s Xin-Xing-Lun(心性論) changes from ZhongHeJiuShuo(中和舊說) to ZhongHeXinShuo(中和新說), establishing a new mind-centered system. This study discussed the changed content elements of Zhu Xi’s Xin-Xing-Lun(心性論) and the resulting moral educational implications. First, it was revealed that as Xin(心) controls Xìng (性) and Qíng(情), the predominant power of Xin can be exerted even during wèifā(未發). Accordingly, moral education should be structured in a way that helps learners cultivate their inner morality. In addition, by applying the concept of zhijue(知覺), which is the function of Xin, it was revealed that the scope of activity of Xin was expanded to both in weifa(未發) and yifa(已 發). As the role of always-aware zhijue has become important, moral education should be structured in a way that can improve perceptual discernment. The meaning of this study can be found in the fact that Zhu Xi’s ZhongHeXinShuo can serve as a philosophical foundation for character development education and moral knowledge education.
The Influence of Sex and Cognitive Style on Eye Movement Patterns during Map Navigation
Authors: Kushnir A.B. , Mikhailova E.S. , Gerasimenko N.Yu.
Published: July 2024

We investigated the effects of sex and cognitive style on performance in the map navigation task with various label types (object labels, verbal labels, no labels) in 40 healthy participants (20 men, 20 women, age 24,3±0,8) using eye tracking. The cognitive styles (object, spatial, verbal) were assessed using a questionnaire developed by Blazhenkova and Kozhevnikov [2009]. Only men had a reduced number of fixations during route reproduction compared to route memorization; women had longer saccade durations than men. Participants with spatial cognitive style showed shorter saccade duration compared to object cognitive style. Participants with spatial and verbal cognitive styles had more fixations on maps with verbal labels than on the other maps. Analysis of questionnaire and the number of fixations has demonstrated the link between sex and cognitive style, but the effects of sex and cognitive style are not identical. Sex affects eye movements during the performance of different tasks (map familiarization, route memorization, and route reproduction), while cognitive style determines eye movements during navigation on maps with different types of labels.
Perceptual Models of an Ambivalent Other under Conditions of a Negative Pre-Stimulation
Authors: Baleva M.V. , Polyanina O.I.
Published: July 2024

The effects of framing with pre-stimulus information on the target object assessment were simulated in the perception of self-presentation video interview. Non-target personages of extremely positive and negative personal valence were presented as pre-stimuli. Two path models were built: the first one (Attitude Model) reproduced the structural logic of the attitude formation, and the second one (TraitsтModel) — the logic of dispositional traits perception. The sample consisted of 394 students from 17 to 27 years old (M = 20.06, SD = 1.24). It was found that the shifts in the target object's scores were occurred according to the contrast effect, however, this effect was triggered only by the negative pre-stimulus. In the Attitude Model, the primary “target” of the negative pre-stimulus is the cognitive component of the attitude. Slightly changing towards growth, it caused an avalanche-like positive shift in the emotional and behavioral components. In the Traits Model, the shift in the perception of personality traits was also occurred according to the principle of contrast. Negative pre-stimulus had a direct impact on the perception of Agreeableness and Extraversion, which, in turn, mediated the perception of Conscientiousness and Openness to experience. The results obtained could be used to create directed perceptual effects in the process of pedagogical, media or therapeutic influence.

Published: July 2024

The aim of this study was to enhance understanding of the role of conscious self-regulation as a non-cognitive predictor of academic achievement in student populations with varying levels of school engagement. The sample group analyzed consisted of 1056 secondary school students, encompassing grades 5-11 (M=13.9; SD=1.9). Four key factors were assessed in the study: school engagement, conscious self-regulation, personal properties (using the Big Five model), anxiety, and academic motivation. The analysis revealed the significance of conscious self-regulation as a meta-resource for enhancing academic performance.SEM models were developed to explore regulatory and personal resources relevant to academic performance, revealing the role of conscious self-regulation as a meta-resource for enhancing academic achievement and reducing school-related anxiety in students with varying levels of school engagement. The engagement components were found to mediate the impact of personal and motivational resources on academic performance. Conscious self-regulation consistently exhibits a positive effect among all individual-typological groups. Understanding the intricate network of direct and mediated influences of self-regulation and engagement on academic performance can provide a foundation for creating curricula that facilitate optimal learning outcomes.
Questionnaire “Metacognitions about Problematic Smartphone Use”: An Abbreviated Russian-Language Version for Teenagers and Young People
Authors: Miklyaeva A.V. , Panferov V.N. , Gorkovaya I.A.
Published: July 2024

Against the background of the rapid spread of mobile technologies and the emergence of related forms of problematic behavior, there is a shortage of Russian-language questionnaires that allow you to study the problematic use of smartphones by adolescents and young people. The article presents the results of a study aimed at developing an abbreviated version of the questionnaire version of the questionnaire "Metacognitions about problematic smartphone use" (S. Casale, L. Caponi, G. Fioravanti), based on the idea that metacognitions play a decisive role in the formation of problematic behavior. The sample consisted of 781 respondents aged 14-25 years. The tested version of the questionnaire includes 10 items evaluated on a 5-point Likert scale, which were isolated from the original version of the questionnaire (24 items) using the focus group method (n = 35). Analysis of the questionnaire structure (n = 636) allowed combining the questionnaire items into two scales: "Positive beliefs about problematic smartphone use" and "Negative beliefs about problematic smartphone use". Satisfactory indicators of design validity were obtained (confirmatory factor analysis: χ2/df = 1.84, p<0.01, CFI = 0.97, RMSEA = 0.04), internal consistency of scales, (Kronbach coefficient: "Positive beliefs about problematic smartphone use" α = 0.83; "Negative beliefs about problematic smartphone use" α = 0.72), competitive validity (correlation analysis: r≥0.28 for both scales of the questionnaire and indicators of smartphone dependence, as well as problematic Internet use). Acceptable indicators of retest reliability were also obtained (correlation analysis: "Positive beliefs about problematic smartphone use" r = 0.64; "Negative beliefs about problematic smartphone use" r = 0.56). The possibilities of using the questionnaire to solve the problems of prevention, detection and overcoming of problematic smartphone use, as well as prospects for further research using the developed questionnaire are discussed.

Published: July 2024

The article presents the results of adapting and testing of the “Perceived Stress Scale for Children” (PSS-C) on a Russian-speaking sample of adolescents aged 11 to 16 (n = 612). The study sample consisted of students from grades 5 to 8 in secondary schools in various regions of the Russian Federation (Trans-Baikal Territory, Altai Territory, Moscow Region, Leningrad Region). The results of psychometric testing indicate that the questionnaire has good internal consistency with correlations between the final score and stand alone questions being rs = [0.4; 0.64], p < 0.01; the half-form reliability rt = 0.78; the Cronbach's α = 0.741. A direct relationship between the perceived stress level and situational anxiety was shown (rs = 0.67, p < 0.01), which persisted when taking into account the age, gender, and region of residence of the respondents. These findings suggest that PSS-C has convergent validity. Factor analysis of the questionnaire revealed the presence of two factors in the perceived stress structure: 1) “Tension” and 2) “Resources”. The two-factor model of perceived stress was confirmed using confirmatory factor analysis (RMSEA = 0.058, 90% CI [0.045, 0.072], CFI = 0.952, GFI = 0.977). The discriminativeness of the questionnaire was δ = 0.97. Gender differences in the level of perceived stress are shown; age differences are due to an increase in study load. The “Perceived Stress Scale for Children” questionnaire is a valid and reliable technique for diagnosing stress in adolescents aged 11 to 16. It can be used both in individual assessments and group diagnostics for monitoring of stress levels in adolescence.

Published: July 2024

Objective of the work was to construct and validate a dispositional tolerance questionnaire that aims to measure the subject's tolerance level in a complex way. Data collection was carried out in an online format. The methodology was approved with 160 students, the average age was 20 years old. In order to validate the presented questionnaire of dispositional tolerance we used methods of internal coherence and reliability of the scale, convergent validity, as well as confirmatory factor analysis to check the compliance of the theoretical factor structure of the questionnaire with the real one. Internal consistency of the methodology was assessed by calculating the value of Cronbach's α coefficients = 0.725. Convergent validity was assessed with the tolerance index questionnaire and the correlation level was 0.601. Factor analysis of the dispositional tolerance questionnaire confirmed the factor structure of the methodology. The meaning of dispositional tolerance was conceptualized and compared with existing concepts of psychological tolerance for further presentation of the psychometric instrument. This questionnaire stands as a method to diagnose tolerance as a subject's attitude. The obtained results confirmed sufficient reliability for using the presented psychometric tool in psychological practice.
The role of public art has changed in recent times: a study
Authors: Binoy Paul
Published: July 2024

Public art which falls under the institutional category of visual arts primarily focuses on audience engagement and public representation. Additionally, there are other types of art in public settings that are designed for audience participation. The term Public Art means to those works of art commissioned and sponsored, monuments, memorials, and civic statues and sculpture installed in physical public domain by the Government and agencies and organization, which are especially significant within the Art World. The term is sometimes also applied to include and art which is exhibited in a public space these public art are basically symbolic, imaginary and illustrative representation on the Historical, political and cultural and civic values of the state. While speaking of public sculptures we often speak in terms of its artistic identity i.e. we always look at it and recognize merely as a piece of art only. We cannot undermine its importance in day to day social, cultural and political life. The presence of these pieces of art in any society holds a cultural recognition of that particular society. These are like the index or contents of a book that are sufficient enough to explain the entire subject matter. These public sculptures have become a part and partial of our day to day life. Since the colonial times to the modern era, in India, public art has undergone numerous changes. The institutions of public art and the public realm, media, genres, and forms of public art have all changed over time. Since the last two decades, site-specificity, public engagement, and process-based activities have been the main focuses of art in public spaces. Two types of public space can be distinguished. The first is the actual public space as a location, site, piece or thing. The second is the discursive public space, which is an abstract/conceptual area created briefly as a result of private individuals coming together to talk about or share important and light-hearted subjects. According to Habermas, this discursive space is the public sphere, which includes gatherings and encounters of people in public places like coffee shops, streets, community centers, and parks.

El templo parroquial de Santa Eulalia de Palma es una de las iglesias más antiguas e importantes del patrimonio cultural de Mallorca. Está declarada como Bien de Interés Cultural (BIC) con categoría de monumento histórico artístico desde 1985 y protegida a nivel local con categoría A1 por el Plan de Ordenación Urbana de la ciudad desde 1998. A pesar de estas figuras de protección, los diversos expedientes administrativos tanto a nivel nacional como autonómico están desprovistos en la actualidad de cualquier tipo de documentación asociada, por lo que no están adaptados a la legalidad vigente estipulada.
Teniendo en cuenta este contexto, el objetivo de este artículo es analizar el estado actual de protección de este patrimonio y proponer una serie de criterios o procedimiento documentales para actualizar dichos expedientes, adaptarlos a la legalidad vigente y generar una estrategia de gestión que incentive una mejora en su conservación y tutela futura.
1535: El taller de la sacristía mayor de la catedral de Sevilla a la muerte del Maestro Diego de Riaño
Authors: Salguero Mejías Francisco Javier
Published: July 2024

En noviembre de 1534, el taller de cantería que ejecutaba las obras de la Sacristía Mayor de la Catedral de Sevilla se vio inmerso en una fase de cierta incertidumbre tras el fallecimiento del maestro mayor, Diego de Riaño. La reciente aparición de unas nóminas, entre las que se encuentra una del año 1535, nos ha permitido adentrarnos en esta etapa de la construcción para conocer mejor la composición y funcionamiento del taller, así como el desarrollo que habían alcanzado las obras por aquellas fechas. Por ello, el presente artículo ofrece una lectura más clarificadora acerca del devenir que experimentó el taller, que quedaría en manos de Martín de Gaínza a la muerte del maestro Riaño, y aporta nuevos análisis y datos al debate aún candente sobre la autoría de la sacristía.
Spiritual orientation of the psychological rehabilitation of combatants
Authors: Solovyeva Svetlana L.
Published: July 2024

The paper examines the impact of combat stress on human personality, with a particular focus on identity disintegration. This is considered to be the most significant impact of combat stress, accompanied by the loss of values that generally make up a framework for assessing and interpreting current events. The conventional psychological treatments for personality reconstruction, which appeal to cognitive, emotional, motivational and volitional processes that make up the structure of the psyche, are found to be ineffective in cases where stress exceeds the average psychological resources of a person. Coping with extreme impacts assumes going beyond the familiar life experience accompanied by the reference to the spiritual level resources, among which religiosity is traditional for the mentality. This paper reviews the relationship between religion and psychotherapy, with a focus on the psychotherapeutic factors of religion aimed at combatants’ identity reconstruction.
Comparative analysis of the clinical and social characteristics of persons with organic mental disorders suffering from mental retardation who have repeatedly committed socially dangerous acts
Authors: Popov Sergey N. , Vinnikova Irina N. , Khamitov Rustem R.
Published: July 2024

BACKGROUND: The study of various characteristics of mentally ill persons suffering from mental disorders that influence the possibility of committing a repeated socially dangerous act. This has been one of the most urgent tasks of forensic psychiatry in recent years. The identification of such factors will significantly improve the secondary prevention of crime among the mentally ill.
AIM: The purpose of the study — a comparative analysis of clinical and social characteristics in patients with mental retardation and organic psychological disorders (hereinafter referred to as DIS) who have repeatedly committed socially dangerous acts (hereafter referred to as DIS) and the identification of factors specific to patients with mental retardation that contribute to the commission of repeated DIS. Design: comparative study.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: The comparative study included 65 patients diagnosed with mild and moderate mental retardation (who made up the main group A) and 45 patients with organic mental disorders (who made up the comparative group B) had repeatedly committed socially dangerous acts (OOD), who had been recognised as insane and who had undergone two or more periods of court-ordered compulsory medical treatment (hereafter referred to as MMMT) of various types. The study was carried out both in the form of a personal questionnaire and through a retrospective study of the patients' medical records. Correlation and comparative analysis were the main research methods used in the thesis.
RESULTS: A number of clinical and social characteristics such as: hereditary burden of exogenous diseases (r +0.58, pi 0.05); single lifestyle (r +0.33, pi 0.05); urban place of residence (r +0.21, pi 0.05) increase the risk of repeated OOD, and are specific predictors for patients with mental retardation. A number of characteristics had a negative impact on the possibility of repeated OOD and negative correlations: the absence of any hereditary burden (r –0.44, pi 0.05), the presence of severe endogenous heredity (r –0.35, pi 0.05), living in rural areas (r –0.21, pi 0.05), concomitant alcohol dependence (r –0.29, pi 0.05).
CONCLUSION: The data obtained will form the basis for the development of practical recommendations for secondary forensic psychiatric prevention, specifically for this nosological group, as well as methods for predicting and preventing recurrent DIS.
Phenomenological approach in psychotherapy
Authors: Babin Sergey M.
Published: July 2024

The article discusses the problems of interaction between psychotherapy and such a direction of philosophy as phenomenology. The basic principles of the phenomenological method are considered in the context of their application in psychotherapy. The author sees the main problems in the isolation of related fields of humanistic knowledge from each other, in the continuing commitment of Russian psychotherapy to an exclusively natural-scientific positivist concept of health and illness, and in the dominance of biologically oriented approaches. This is reflected both in the interpretation of the phenomenological method in domestic psychiatry, and in the use of phenomenology in various psychotherapeutic fields. The solution to this problem may be a deeper acquaintance of specialists with the philosophical foundations and methodological principles of the phenomenological method, interdisciplinary dialogue, expansion of the humanitarian component of professional training, which corresponds to the objectives of the further development of domestic psychotherapy.

Upper urinary tract duplication remains one of the most challenging pediatric urology conditions. Various operative methods are used in the treatment of children with this pathology; however, reoperation rate remains high. This study aimed to investigate a case of successful robot-assisted laparoscopic ureteroureterostomy and discuss the technical aspects of this procedure and review known series of robotic ureteroureterostomy. The authors retrospectively reviewed the medical history of a child with duplication of the right kidney, accompanied by reflux of urine into the lower segment collecting system. Surgical intervention was performed using robot-assisted technology. Using computed tomography and voiding cystourethrography, duplex kidney with vesicorenal reflux into the lower segment was diagnosed. The surgical technique used was ureteroureterostomy. The donor ureter was divided in the area of the intended anastomosis. Then, a surgical incision was made in the recipient ureter, the length of which was equal to the diameter of the donor ureter. After preparation of the ureters, an end-to-side anastomosis was performed. The operation was successfully performed without intraoperative difficulties or complications and lasted for 140 minutes. The robot installation time (docking time) was 20 minutes, and the main console time was thus 120 minutes. The patient started feeding on the same day after the operation. The drainage tube was removed after a control ultrasound examination on postoperative day 2. The stent remained in the recipient ureter until its removal 6 weeks after surgery. The duration of follow-up was 6 months. The patient was asymptomatic throughout the control period. Repeated ultrasound examination performed after surgery showed a decrease in the anteroposterior diameter of the lower segment pelvis to 5 mm. Blood flow in the upper and lower segments of the right kidney was not impaired.

This review investigated preoperative fasting in children who need elective surgical interventions. Fifty publications included in the abstract databases PubMed and elibrary for the period from 2017 to 2023 were reviewed. For the analysis, we used articles on the effect of preoperative fasting on indicators of the cardiovascular system and water and carbohydrate metabolism and assessed the course of the perioperative period depending on the duration of refusal of solid food and liquids before surgery. The article presents historical information that formed the basis for the modern paradigm of refusal of solid food and liquids in the preoperative period, especially the negative consequences of prolonged refusal of food in the preoperative period, indicating the main ones, namely, euglycemic ketosis and ketoacidosis, which are common in children. Hypoglycemia due to food refusal before surgery is rare and is not a serious problem in most patients, except in children in the first year of life. In most cases, it has been demonstrated that the time of preoperative fasting significantly exceeds the recommended intervals and amounts to more than 10 hours, and 75% of patients experience a strong feeling of hunger. Infusion of dextrose solutions has not been found to reduce feelings of hunger and thirst before surgery. An increase in preoperative fasting time is often associated with improper organization of the process (35.1%), an increase in surgical time (34.1%), and surgical plan changes (20.9%). It is noted that the optimal volume of liquid that a child can drink before surgery is 3 ml/kg. Data indicates that preoperative fasting can cause arterial hypotension after induction of anesthesia, at the stage of preparing the surgical field. It has been demonstrated that a residual gastric volume of 1.25 ml/kg is a risk factor for aspiration during the induction of anesthesia. There is currently no convincing evidence of the negative effect of preoperative fasting on treatment outcome; however, clearly, the time to abandon clear liquids before elective surgery in children should be minimal.

Choledochal cysts are congenital cystic dilatations of the extrahepatic and/or intrahepatic bile ducts. Diagnosis and choice of treatment tactics for this pathology often cause difficulties. A case report of a choledochal cyst in a 2-year-old patient with symptoms of recurrent jaundice, cholangitis, and pancreatitis, which required laparoscopic cholecystostomy and cholangiography during preparation for radical surgery, was retrospectively analyzed. The child was re-admitted to the pediatric surgical department with complaints of hyperthermia up to 39°C, resumption of periodic abdominal pain, nausea, and increased icterus of the sclera and skin. Laboratory and ultrasound examination indicated biliary and pancreatic hypertension. Choledochal cyst, cholestasis syndrome, acute cholecystopancreatitis was diagnosed. Owing to the existing clinical symptoms and laboratory and ultrasound data, laparoscopic cholecystostomy was urgently performed. Against the background of conservative therapy, within 2 days after laparoscopic cholecystostomy, clinically, laboratory and according to control ultrasound examination, biliary and pancreatic hypertension were stopped. The child underwent cholangiography through a cholecystostomy without additional anesthesia, which revealed a fusiform dilatation of the common hepatic and bile ducts. After 2 weeks of drug treatment against the background of laparoscopic cholecystostomy, the child underwent excision of the common bile duct cyst, and cholecystectomy with hepatic enteroanastomosis on a Roux-en-Y loop. The postoperative period was smooth. No other complaints or complications were noted within 24 months. In the reported case, recurrent obstructive jaundice was caused by a choledochal cyst. Laparoscopic cholecystostomy enabled the quick and successful relief of biliary hypertension, preparation of the patient for radical surgical treatment, and safe informative cholangiography through cholecystostomy. Hepatic enteroanastomosis with a disconnected loop according to Roux-en-Y was an effective surgical treatment method for choledochal cyst.

Extensive posttraumatic wounds, affecting functionally active areas and complicated by a purulent–necrotic process, are a serious problem in the acute period of injury due to a critical condition and in reconstructive surgical treatment. This study presents the case of a 16-year-old victim of a transport accident on a ferry who underwent a surgical treatment. Due to a truck collision, the girl was crushed against the metal structure of the ship and received a severe combined injury: closed craniocerebral injury, moderate brain contusion, linear fracture of the occipital bone on the right, closed chest injury, fracture of 9–11 ribs on the right, closed abdominal injury, rupture of the right kidney, damage to the bladder, retroperitoneal hematoma on the right, closed spinal injury, fracture of the spinous processes of the L4–L5 vertebrae, open fractures of the pelvic bones, and extensive posttraumatic wounds of the right half of the pelvic girdle and hip joints. During the initial hospitalization, the following were performed within 2 days: laparotomy, nephrectomy of a crushed kidney on the right, suturing of the bladder, primary surgical treatment of the wound in the sacrogluteofemoral region on the right and the wound of the left thigh with their primary suturing, and external osteosynthesis of the pelvic bones with a rod-based external fixation device. The early postoperative period was complicated by necrosis of injured soft tissues and a new surgical infection (polyantibiotic-resistant strains of microorganisms), which led to an increase in the size of the wound defect and loss of soft tissues due to their purulent melting. Complex surgical treatment aimed at eliminating surgical infection and transferring the wound process to the regeneration phase included repeated surgical treatments and the use of modern dressings and negative pressure therapy. An extensive wound defect of soft tissues caused by and injury or surgical treatment for purulent–necrotic complication was found in the functionally active zone of the hip joint and in the sacral region, which required the restoration of the skin of these areas. A strategy for surgical repair of a soft tissue wound defect is presented. Nonfree (rotated) blood-supply flaps were used: fasciocutaneous muscle flap based on the musculus tensor fascia lata from the right thigh and gluteal fasciocutaneous flap from the left gluteal region. After multistage surgical treatment, it was possible to replace an extensive wound defect of soft tissues and restore full skin in the hip joint and sacrogluteal region, which enabled avoiding trophic disorders and joint contractures and ensured a satisfactory cosmetic and functional result during 5-year followup.

This research includes quantitative research using questionnaires to collect data. The population in this study were RSIA Puri Bunda Malang employees. The sampling technique used proportional random sampling with a total sample of 119 respondents. The data analysis technique involved SEM-PLS (Structural Equation Modeling-Partial Least Square). The results indicated that employee engagement and organizational commitment had no effect on employee performance, while organizational citizenship behavior significantly can affect employee performance. The results also showed that organizational citizenship behavior can mediate both the effect of employee engagement and organizational commitment to employee performance. It indicates that the attitude of employee engagement and organizational commitment of employees does not affect employee performance. The presence of organizational citizenship behavior will strengthen the effect of employee engagement and organizational commitment on employee performance. Keywords: Employee engagement, Employee performance, Organizational commitment, Organizational citizenship behavior
