Theoretical and Methodological Toolkit for International Cluster Projects Risks Assessment: Development and Approbation
Authors: Kovaleva Tatyana , Simonyan Eva
Published: January 2021

The phenomenon of international cluster cooperation is transforming the modern economy and encompassing various contexts of global collaboration that are driving new value chains. At the same time, there is no doubt that cooperation of cluster members with foreign partners leads to risks in the implementation of joint projects. The toolkit proposed in the article develops theoretical and methodological approaches of risk management in the field of international cluster projects risk assessment and creates preconditions for the development of reasonable models of risks control and management, as well as the choice of methods for their leveling. The methodology of international cluster projects risks assessment includes a step-by-step algorithm for calculating an integral indicator of cluster cooperation risk with a foreign partner, based on the use of expert information. We propose to formalize the results of international cluster projects risk assessment using the matrix of management impact, which also allows to classify projects by risk level. The study has developed a risk zoning model that optimally visualizes risk areas of international cluster projects. Methods were tested on the example of the Perm Territory pharmaceutical cluster project. The results of the study may be of interest to cluster members and specialized cluster organizations that solve problems of assessing and selecting cluster projects for the purpose of their subsequent implementation. As a research perspective, it is of interest to create software products and simulation models for assessing and monitoring cluster projects risks in the implementation of which a large number of partners from different countries take part.
Contribution of V.S. Nemchinov to Economic and Statistical Research and Regional Economic Policy in Urals: 1919-1926
Authors: Sukhikh Vasily
Published: January 2021

The time when Academician of the USSR Academy of Sciences Vasily Sergeevich Nemchinov lived in the Ural is not of a big interest among researchers. But it was work experience in the Urals that allowed V.S. Nemchinov to make a successful career in Moscow, while the Ural impressions and materials laid the foundation for the future academician's views on the economy of the USSR, research methods and ways of reforming. As the head of statistical agencies in Chelyabinsk and Yekaterinburg, Nemchinov made a great contribution to the discussion and practical implementation of economic zoning, among his achievements is the rationale of tax reduction, development and calculation of a single economic indicator of the national economy of the Urals. He also proposed a method for classifying the village which, after discussion and refinement, was used in agricultural censuses and collectivization.
On the History of International Socio-Economic Relations of the Arctic Regions and Thirty-Year Anniversary of the «Northern Forum»
Authors: Krasnopolski Boris
Published: January 2021

The research is a journey into a history of relatively recent establishment and development of international relations and cooperation of the Arctic regions of our country and the world. Thaw in relations between the Soviet Union taken place in the 80s of the last century and other countries affected the development of the territories of the states members of the well-known international Arctic Council, as well as a number of other countries with political and economic interests in the Arctic. This thaw created the basis for the creation of the Northern Forum in 1991, an international non-political organization of regional governors, which expressed the ambitions of the countries of the North and Arctic regions to develop international cooperation. In 2021, this organization will celebrate its 30th anniversary. Its creation is directly related to an active role of Walter J. Hickel (Wally J. Hickel), who in those years was the governor of Alaska (USA). He got elected twice to the office of governor and put enormous business and personal efforts into the creation of the Northern Forum. Unfortunately, in recent years the ability of the Forum to support and strengthen international sustainable socio-economic development in the Arctic region has substantially decreased. Despite the great efforts of the Forum secretariat, which is now located in Yakutsk, its role is declining, which is apparently caused by the growth of political and economic confrontations between the leading Arctic countries. The author puts forward his perspectives on the increasing role of the Northern Forum in the international cooperation of the Arctic countries in the light of new initiatives.

The publication is a biographical study dedicated to a prominent representative of the pre-revolutionary Siberian industrial and commercial bourgeoisie, tobacco manufacturer George Yakovlevich Serebryakov. The work illustrates the social adaptation of a person to the conditions of state and political disasters caused by the events of the Revolution and the Civil War in the east of Russia, using the example of the personality of this figure, very famous in the circles of commerce and power. Based on the specifics of the study the theory of social adaptation, as well as the historical and biographical method, became the methodological basis for the preparation of this article and determined its genre. A connection is made between the question presented in the study and the historiography of the problem, with an emphasis on unexplored plots in the biography of the hero of the story, which allows us to confirm the novelty of this publication. To write the article, a complex of historical sources was used, concentrated in the case of G.Ya. Serebryakov as a justice of the peace (from the funds of the Historical Archive of the Omsk Region) and criminal case 1920-1921 initiated by the Cheka in relation to our hero (from the archive of the FSB of Russia in the Omsk region). This work is addressed to researchers of social history, the Civil War in Russia, the repressive policies of the Soviet state at an early stage and genealogy-practices.
About the Fight Against Horse Theft in the Irkutsk and Yenisei Provinces in the Late XIX - Early XX Century
Authors: Danchevskaya Anastasia
Published: January 2021

The article examines the problem of combating theft of horses and livestock in pre-revolutionary Russia at the state and local level in Irkutsk and Yenisei provinces. The relevance of the opposition to horse-stealing was not so much due to its wide spread as to its negative impact on the socio-economic development of the state. The research aims to find the causes that hindered the effective fight against horse theft in the late XIX - early XX centuries. the example of the largest regions of Eastern Siberia - Irkutsk and Yenisei provinces. Materials of pre-revolutionary research, legislative acts of the Russian Empire, published historical sources, documents of the state archive of Irkutsk region, and modern scientific articles were used for the research. The author analyzed the development of legislation on theft of horses and livestock. It was established that horse theft as a social and legal problem tended to professionalize, and loop holes in law contributed to this trend. The decision on the issue at the local level was initiated by the Ministers of internal Affairs and justice, who communicated with the governors-General and governors, but this did not lead to the adoption of real measures. The foreign population of Irkutsk and Yenisei provinces, among which the problem was most evident, was working to raise awareness of the authorities of the need to integrate legislation from foreign societies into the criminal law system.
Application of the Beta-Binomial Distribution for Statistical Processing of Student Grades
Authors: Bratischenko Vladimir
Published: January 2021

Statistical processing of students' grades is used to solve various problems in managing the educational process. Traditional methods of mathematical statistics do not correspond to the properties of student grades. The paper proposes to adapt the IRT models for describing grades to improve the whole process. A model based on beta-binomial distribution is proposed, in which the parameters take into account the student's ability and the difficulty of getting a passing grade. The use of this probability distribution is justified by the ability to take into account the variation of grades. It is proposed to use two approaches to identify the parameters. The first approach is based on the use of numerical methods for finding parameters for solving a system of equations. The second one uses the Bayesian approach, which makes it possible to rather effectively refine the parameters when obtaining new estimates. Based on the results of processing an array of estimates, the adequacy of the model was confirmed by several statistical criteria.

Published: January 2021

Companies working in the field of IT technologies, in most cases, implement a project management approach. A significant problem of the project management paradigm is the creation of the project team. The main criterion that determines the possibility of choosing a specialist for the project team is the level of his compliance with the required set of competencies. The task can be solved using the system analysis. Hierarchical decomposition of functions and criteria allows us to form a relative assessment of applicants to assign for the project. The article examined an example of decomposition of the system of functions, criteria and the results of assessing relative importance of functions for the implementation of a project in the support department of accounting programs of the company "En + Digital". In the process of project implementation, it becomes necessary to address the issue of operational distribution and work redistribution adjusting appointed executors. The article discusses the methods of redistributing functions using internal resource and possibilities of hiring third-party performers. The research determined the necessity to use informational assessment of team members work load while managing the project.

Background: Hashimoto’s thyroiditis is an autoimmune disorder of thyroid gland. It is one of thecommon causes of hypothyroidism and is common in females. Generally, Hashimoto’s thyroiditisclinically presents as diffuse enlargement of the thyroid and nodular lesions are uncommon. But fewrecent studies from South India have shown that Hashimoto’s frequently presents as nodularenlargement of the thyroid. Such lesions can be easily confused with nodular goitre. Objectivesand Aim: Aim of the study is to study the clinicopathological features of Hashimoto’s thyroiditis andto estimate the frequency of nodular lesions in Hashimoto’s thyroiditis in a tertiary care healthcentre in coastal South India. Materials and Methods: The present study was done retrospectivelyon patients diagnosed as Hashimoto’s thyroiditis by fine-needle aspiration cytology during the periodJune 2017 to June 2020. Their clinical details, clinical examination findings including diffuse/nodularnature of the swelling, thyroid hormone status and ultrasound findings were studied. Results: In thepresent study, 102 cases of Hashimoto’s thyroiditis were included, which includes 91 females and 11males. Patients age ranged from 15 to 63 years with a peak in the fourth decade. Fifty-five cases(53.9%) were hypothyroid and 43 (42.2%) were euthyroid. Fifty cases (49%) presented as nodularlesion out of which 47 cases had multiple nodules. Conclusion: Nodular enlargement of the thyroidis a common finding in Hashimoto’s thyroiditis patients. Such cases should not be mistaken fornodular goitre as there is a risk of malignancy in Hashimoto’s thyroiditis.

A adubação nitrogenada possibilita aumentar a capacidade de suporte das pastagens, entretanto, o uso de elevadas doses pode causar efeitos negativos no crescimento de gramíneas forrageiras. A partir do pressuposto, objetivou-se avaliar a influência de doses crescentes de nitrogênio sob as características morfogênicas e estruturais, acúmulo de biomassa e eficiências de conversão e recuperação do nitrogênio em pastagem de Megathyrsus maximus cv. BRS Zuri. Foram testadas cinco doses de nitrogênio (0, 200, 400, 600 e 800 Kg de nitrogênio/ha) em delineamento experimental de blocos casualizados, com quatro repetições. Foi observado comportamento quadrático para as taxas de alongamento e aparecimento foliar, tempo de vida e o filocrono. Houve aumento no número de perfilhos e na produção de matéria seca quando as plantas foram submetidas à adubação, porém, tanto a eficiência de utilização quanto a recuperação aparente do nitrogênio reduziram linearmente com o aumento do nível de nitrogênio. O uso de fertilizante nitrogenado promoveu melhora nas características morfogênicas (P<0,05) exceto para taxa de alongamento de colmo e taxa de senescência foliar que se mantiveram estáveis. A Adubação com nitrogênio acelera as taxas de crescimento do Megathyrsus maximus cv. BRS Zuri. As respostas máximas nas variáveis morfogênicas, no número de folhas vivas e totais por perfilho são obtidas com doses próximas de 500 kg/ha, enquanto que doses variando de 600 a 647 kg/ha proporcionam maior tamanho de folha por perfilho, densidade populacional de perfilhos e produção de matéria seca. As eficiências de utilização e recuperação do nitrogênio reduzem com o aumento das doses de nitrogênio.

The aim of this study was determine the energy and protein requirements for maintenance and gain of Nellore steers. Thirty six Nellore steers with a average weight and age of 359±13 kg and 20 months at the beginning of the trial were individually fed for 56. The steers were fed the same diet (76.43% TDN and 13.62% CP) in three levels of dry matter (DM) intake, ad libitum, 75 g DM/kg BW0.75 and 60 g DM/kg BW0.75. The initial and final body composition was estimated with the marker deuterium oxide that allowed repeated water estimate in the same animal. Deuterium in blood samples was analyzed by mass spectrometry. The effects of intake levels, comparison of intercept and slope among feeding level, and equations were evaluated by the analysis of variance, adopting P<0.05 as a significant level. The net energy for maintenance was 75 kcal/kg EBW0.75 or 70 kcal/kg BW0.75. The net energy for gain for steers with 350 to 450 kg weight was 5.1 to 6.1Mcal. The efficiency of energy utilization for maintenance, km, was 0.7492 and for weight gain, kg, was 0.3404. The metabolizable protein requirement for maintenance was 4.32 * BW0.75 and the net protein for gain was estimated with the equation NPg = (254.68*EBWG) €“ (29.38*RE). The technique of deuterium oxide marker used to estimate energy and protein requirement for maintenance and weight gain at Nellore steers confirm the hypothesis presented in NRC, that NEm is lower than the requirement for taurine cattle. On the other hand, the reverse was true for the NP requirement for maintenance and for weight gain. We consider that indirect method using D2O for estimate body composition in zebu cattle was suitable to determine nutrient requirements.

Published: January 2021

The present study aimed to evaluate the effect of replacing corn with high-tannin sorghum grain in the diet of steers on ruminal degradation of dry matter and fibrous fraction. Four rumen-fistulated cattle with a mean body weight of 519 ± 31 kg were used in this study. These animals were divided into groups using a 4 ´ 4 Latin square experimental design. Animals received four different diets in which increasing levels of ground corn were replaced with high-tannin sorghum grain in the proportions of 0%, 33%, 67% and 100% in the concentrate. Dry matter (DM) and neutral detergent fiber (NDF) were measured by in situ incubation of sorghum grain samples. Rumen residue was analysed for DM and NDF disappearance at incubation times of 0, 6, 12, 24, 48, 72, 96, 120 and 144 h. A quadratic behavior was observed in the fraction €œc€ of the DM and soluble fraction "a" of the NDF of the sorghum grain in function of the replacement levels of corn for high-grain tannin sorghum. Rumen DM and NDF degradability of sorghum grains with high tannin content up to 144 h showed an increasing behavior for all levels of inclusion of sorghum in the diet. The replacement level 67 showed the maximum DM and fibrous fraction disappearance of sorghum grain up to 144 h of incubation. Sorghum grain achieved maximum ruminal dry matter degradation and the fibrous fraction at the 67% replacement level of ground corn by high-tannin sorghum grain in the diet of steers.
La neología por préstamo en el ámbito de la moda: ¿necesidad denominativa o recurso estilístico?

Published: January 2021

El presente estudio pretende analizar si el uso de vocablos extranjeros en el ámbito de la moda se debe a una necesidad denominativa o si se trata de un recurso estilístico empleado por los escritores especializados en este ámbito. Para ello, se han examinado los meses de marzo y abril de 2018, 2019 y 2020 de la versión en línea de las revistas Marie Claire, Cosmopolitan y Glamour. Los resultados del estudio muestran que no es posible indicar un único motivo por el que se emplean los préstamos, sino que las razones para su empleo difieren en cada caso. Mientras que en algunas situaciones su uso es necesario puesto que no existe un equivalente en la lengua de destino o al menos no un equivalente exacto, en otras ocasiones su uso puede deberse a razones como la eliminación de alguna ambigüedad posible, la falta de sistematización de términos entre los diversos países de habla española y en sus respectivas regiones, el contacto entre culturas y la inclusión de elementos culturales foráneos, el status privilegiado o de elegancia de la lengua extranjera, la economía del lenguaje, la importación de una nueva realidad creada en el extranjero o simplemente como recurso estilístico.

Bond-Graph Model Based Stepper Motor Output Characteristics Simulation Implemented in LabVIEW Environment
Authors: Molnár Zsolt , Husi Géza
Published: January 2021

In the industry, simulations are of great importance. They enable measurements to be made in different conditions about a virtual device, which are highly comparable to measurements made in a real life scenarios. Because of their wide range of usage in lower power drive systems, where precision and simplicity is a must, the subject of study is a permanent magnet stepper motor. For precise positioning purposes, it is essential to know the positioning behaviour of these devices. The model construction process involved an intermediate step, which consisted of creating the Bond-Graph of the motor based on pre-defined models available in the literature in this field. In the next step, the Bond-Graph model was converted to a block diagram of the motor. This permitted the direct implementation of the motor model in LabVIEW visual programming environment. The preliminary steps allows us to check and confirm the functionality and correctness of the model. This article covers in detail the model conversion and implementation steps of the simulation. At the end, the functionality of the simulation was tested.
Modeling of the Concept of Life Using a Frame Structure (on the Materials of Amelie Notomb's Novel "The Character of Rain")
Authors: Myronova Natalia
Published: January 2021

The article considers the correlation of cognitive linguistics key notions, such as "frame" and "concept". The frame is presented as a structure of data or knowledge about any notion, concept – as a complicated and multidimensional mental complex, which in addition to the notional basis also has socio-psycho-cultural component. Interpretation of the concept implies that it has a wide semantic field. A frame with its clearer structure can be used to model or structure the concept, i.e. the concept can be represented as a frame structure.
A description of the experience of modeling the LIFE concept using a frame structure by identifying subframes and analyzing their deployment in Amelie Notomb's novel "The Character of Rain" is presented. According to the method of semantic-cognitive frames analysis of a fictional work, it is determined that the frame structure of the LIFE concept unites 9 slots (mental nodes of the frame structure): EXISTENCE, MOVEMENT, DESTRUCTION OFDREAM, DEGRADATION, EMPTINESS, DEVELOPMENT, INDEPENDENCE, DISAPPOINTMENT, SUICIDE. Deployment of the LA VIE frame, which goes in the direction of such subframes as L’EXISTENCE, LE MOUVEMENT, LA DESTRUCTION DU RÊVE, is reflected in the subframes DÉGRADATION, LE VIDE, LE DÉVELOPPEMENT, L’INDÉPENDANCE, LA DÉCEPTION, LE SUICIDE. This process is due to the fact that the life of a person who feels nothing and rejoices in nothing is an existence: miserable, ordinary, boring, meaningless. EXISTENCE, invaded by a disease, sooner or later leads to the DEGRADATION in all spheres of activity. The result is EMPTINESS, everything becomes the same: it does not matter if something bad or, conversely, something joyful occurs.
MOVEMENT is an important component of a full life. It leads to the DEVELOPMENT of both: physical and individual development in society. Movement means autonomy, and as a consequence, INDEPENDENCE.
DISAPPOINTMENT appears when you realize, that people you are closest to do not understand you at all: they have no idea what you enjoy, what makes you laugh, what is a pleasure for you and what you are capable of. When you realize that society does not need you, when you are deprived of what you are used to and of what is most precious to you in the world, it leads to SUICIDE. These subframes are reflected in the DREAM DESTRUCTION subframe.
Involvement of semantic-cognitive methods complex in the study of frames reveals their cognitive-communicative dynamics. Thus, underlying semantic processes that take place in the literary text, reflect the tendency to unfold the frames. We can assume that the frame structure of the LIFE concept is the result of generalization of the vocabulary meaning of the word and the individual author's sphere of concepts.
GRAPHIC, IDEOGRAPHIC, AND PICTOGRAPHIC MEANS OF EXPRESSING AGREEMENT / DISAGREEMENT IN ONLINE COMMUNICATION (based on French material)
Authors:   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Ukraine, Khaidar Darina
Published: January 2021

The article investigates the means of expressing agreement/disagreement in Internet communication. Using the internet is an important way to communicate in our lives. In modern society, an important role is played by Internet culture, formed and developed in real-time. We have found that ideographic and pictographic means are directly related to the current problem of developing virtual discourse. The tendency to reduce the transmitted information at the lexical level prevails in the environment of Internet discourse, so communicators resort to the use of abbreviations. This allows you to transfer more information with less effort. Graphic tools play a special role in virtual communication to convey information and create an emotional background. Written communication loses some of the semantic means inherent in oral communication: intonation, facial expressions, gestures. As these components create an emotional background and an atmosphere of freedom of communication, the virtual text becomes "dry" and unemotional. Currently, we can transmit information using not only text but also signs, emoticons, emoticons. When communicators think that their thoughts and emotions may be misunderstood, they use graphic and pictographic elements to concretize, clarify, or reinforce what is being said.

Authors: Brahin Federico Antonio , Resina Eduardo Javier , Toll Enrique
Published: January 2021

La crisis mundial desatada por la pandemia de coronavirus redefinió la modalidad de atención en salud y así también en cirugía. La Cirugía Mayor Ambulatoria se estaba desarrollando como una modalidad de trabajo que resultaba eficiente al sistema de salud, pero no lograba ponerse en el centro de la escena. En este momento, parece ser el modelo ideal para evitar las infecciones por Covid-19 y ante esta oportunidad, potenciar su desarrollo de manera definitiva. El Servicio de Cirugía General del hospital de Clínicas Nicolás Avellaneda de Tucumán, presenta una unidad de CMA integrada con amplia experiencia la cual sirvió como soporte para dar respuesta a la necesidad de resolver las listas de espera quirúrgica, evitar que patologías simples progresaran a complicadas, trabajar con bajos costos y minimizar riesgo de contagios durante el periodo de pandemia en nuestra provincia. Presentamos los pasos y las precauciones tomados para rediseñar y adaptar la modalidad diaria de trabajo.
HASTA İLİŞKİLERİ YÖNETİMİ UYGULAMALARININ HASTA MEMNUNİYETİNE ETKİSİ, AYAKTA VE YATARAK TEDAVİ GÖREN HASTALAR ÜZERİNE BİR ARAŞTIRMA
Authors: ATIGAN Fatma
Published: January 2021

Ayakta ve yatarak tedavi gören hastalarda, hasta ilişkileri yönetimi uygulamalarının hasta memnuniyeti üzerindeki etkisini ve bu etkinin hastaların demografik özelliklerine göre farklılık gösterip göstermediğini belirlemek amacıyla Türkiye’de bir üniversite eğitim ve araştırma hastanesinde 824 ayaktan ve 850 yatarak tedavi gören hasta üzerinde yapılan bu araştırmaya göre hem ayakta hem de yatarak tedavi gören hastalarda hasta ilişkileri yönetimi uygulamalarının hasta memnuniyetini olumlu yönde etkilediği ve bu etkinin her iki grup hastanın demografik özelliklerine (cinsiyet, medeni durum, yaş, eğitim durumu ve hastaların hastane tercihleri) göre farklılık gösterdiği tespit edilmiştir. Araştırmanın Türkiye’deki tek bir üniversite hastanesi ile sınırlı olması sonuçların genellenmesini engellemektedir. Bu nedenle daha sonraki araştırmalar için; bu tür çalışmaların birinci, ikinci, üçüncü basamak sağlık kuruluşları için ayrı ayrı ve daha büyük örneklemlerle yapılması önerilebilir.
La misión secreta de D. Ricardo Wall en Londres (1747-1748)
Authors: Téllez Alarcia Diego
Published: January 2021

La muerte de Felipe V y la llegada al trono de Fernando VI trajo consigo notables cambios, tanto en lo concerniente a la nueva línea política de la monarquía como en los hombres que la gestionarían. Al abrigo de estas transformaciones, la carrera de D. Ricardo Wall, posterior ministro de esta-do de Fernando VI y de Carlos III, se alteró por completo. El militar que había destacado en las campañas de la Guerra de Sucesión Austríaca, muta-ba en el diplomático que intentaría negociar su final y en el posterior políti-co que procuraría evitarle a su patria de adopción nuevos conflictos. Su misión secreta en Londres es el paradigma perfecto para entender algunos fenómenos capitales, desde el contexto de las relaciones internacionales a mediados del siglo XVIII, hasta la lucha por el poder entre diversas faccio-nes en la corte de los Borbones.
El totalitarismo comunista en Polonia (1944-1989) : su género y evolución
Authors: Ciechanowski Jean
Published: January 2021

Este artículo pretende analizar el origen y la evolución del sistema comu-nista en Polonia en el período 1944-1989. El primer capítulo analiza las cau-sas de la llegada del comunismo al poder. El segundo, estudia los principales elementos sobre los que se sustentó el comunismo polaco tales como el tota-litarismo, el terror o la mentira. En el tercero, el autor sostiene que Polonia sufrió -pese a todo- un comunismo moderado en comparación con otros sis-temas comunistas.

Association of blood uric acid with the duration of diabetes in type 2 diabetics: A pilot study
Authors: Pinjar Mohammed Jaffer , K Chandini , Manogna G
Published: January 2021

Diabetes Mellitus is the most common non-communicable disease which is vastly conquering both the developed & developing countries of the world. Hypothesis: serum uric acid plays as an independent risk factor for the development of type 2 diabetes. Studies revealing the clearance of uric acid reduced with insulin resistance are few in numbers. A positive correlation between uric acid and glucose levels leads to the development of type 2 diabetes.

To correlate the levels of blood uric acid with the duration of diabetes in type 2 diabetics.

Fifteen type 2 diabetes patients with no history of any complications and other systemic organ & metabolic disorders like gout & obesity randomly selected for this cross-sectional study. A biochemical investigation, like the Uricase method employed for fasting serum uric acid levels estimation. Statistical analysis by the Pearson correlation test used.

Positive correlation of serum uric acid with the duration of diabetes in type 2 diabetic patients found to be statistically significant (r = +0.6, p < 0.05). Out of fifteen, eleven of them were suffering from hyperuricemia (73%). Average uric acid level elevated from 6.88 ± 0.95 in people with the duration of diabetes 2 to 6 years to 7.61 ± 3.16 in people with the duration of diabetes 7 to 10 years.

The positive association of fasting serum uric acid with the duration of type 2 diabetes suggests that uric acid acts as an independent biochemical marker for prognosis of the type 2 diabetes. Drugs that reduce the uric acid levels may be useful in avoiding the development and prognosis of insulin resistance that causes type 2 diabetes and other complications.
Morphometry of foramen transversarium of cervical vertebrae and its clinical significance in South Indian population
Authors: G Prabavathy , T Sadeesh , J Jayaganesh
Published: January 2021

Literature shows multiple variations within the foramen transversarium of the cervical vertebrae.

To study the morphometry of foramen transversarium of the cervical vertebrae on both sides.

The foramen transversarium of three-hundred-fifty dry human cervical vertebras of unknown age and sex was studied. The dimensions of the main foramen and the incidence of accessory foramen transversarium were measured and tabulated.

Among 350 vertebrae studied, the accessory foramina was noted in 66 (19%) vertebrae. On 21 (6%) vertebrae the accessory foramen was noted on both sides of the vertebra and in the remaining 45 (13%), it was observed on one side. When observing unilateral cases, 30 were present on the right side and 15 were on the left side. In both unilateral and bilateral cases, the increased incidence of accessory foramina was noted more in the C6 vertebra. A significant increase in the diameter of the foramen transversarium was observed on the left side of all vertebras studied.

Successful surgical management in degenerative, traumatic, and neoplastic diseases of the cervical spine needs well-detailed knowledge of the anatomy of the cervical spinal column.

In our study, we found a noted increase in the incidence of accessory foramen transversarium. These morphometric parameters will be added data and can serve as a helpful guide while performing various surgeries of the neck region and for proper interpretation of X-rays and CT scan.
