Unprofessional behaviour within cardiology has been well documented and commonly occurs within the cardiac catheterisation laboratory, with higher rates in interventional subspecialities. While most trainees have positive experiences and encounters within the catheterisation laboratory, around one in five report experiencing bullying. This not only has a significant negative impact on the individuals directly involved, but also on the wider multidisciplinary team; importantly, it will have a deleterious effect on patient safety. The British Cardiovascular Intervention Society established the Training Culture Focus Group in 2022 to analyse and offer potential solutions to this pressing issue. We recommend that a cohesive approach between trainers and trainees is the most effective way to reduce unprofessional behaviour incidents, thus improving departmental workplace culture and a subsequent reduction in adverse patient safety events.

Atherectomy Techniques: Rotablation, Orbital and Laser
Authors: Khattak Sophia , Sharma Harish , Khan Sohail Q
Published: November 2024

Coronary artery disease remains the leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide despite advancements in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). With an increasing ageing population, there is a significant challenge in addressing severe calcification in atherosclerotic plaque during angioplasty. This review article focuses on atherectomy strategies such as rotational atherectomy (RA), orbital atherectomy (OA) and excimer laser coronary angioplasty (ELCA) aimed at modifying calcified lesions and improving PCI outcomes. RA modifies plaque through rotational ablation, OA uses eccentrically mounted diamond-coated crown and has a reduced entrapment risk compared to RA. ELCA uses pulsatile laser energy to precisely ablate plaque tissue. This review provides insights into the mechanisms, procedural techniques and clinical outcomes associated with these calcium modification techniques. The selection of appropriate devices and adequate training are crucial for optimising lesion modification and enhancing procedural success. Further research and standardised protocols are required to overcome challenges associated with using these devices and expand their usage in clinical practice.
'O soldadinho de chumbo’ e a naturalização do preconceito com a deficiência
Authors: Machado Julio Cesar
Published: November 2024

Esta pesquisa2 analisa o corpus de uma animação de “O soldadinho de chumbo”, e objetiva: (i) elucidar que existe um conteúdo-pressuposto de “não ser pessoa com deficiência e dever possuir beleza padrão para se casar nos contos de fadas”, que está inscrito no conteúdo-posto “casar-se nos contos de fadas”; e, em detrimento deste, o segundo objetivo é (ii) defender a categoria de pressuposição intertextual, entre o leque de conceitos da Semântica Argumentativa; e também (iii) investigar o fenômeno enunciativo da inversão argumentativa, isto é, dizer o fenômeno de o trágico como romântico, próprio da enunciação de O soldadinho de chumbo. Para tal, nosso referencial teórico será a Semântica Argumentativa, sobretudo operando os conceitos de pressuposição, modificador desrealizante e modificador realizante, de Oswald Ducrot. Com a finesse de uma concepção textual, intertextual e imagética desses conceitos, dado que nosso corpus é uma animação. Nossa principal hipótese coincide com o pressuposto intertextual inscrito nessa animação: em versões dos contos de fadas de animações para público infantil, o happy end é um pressuposto (intertextual) reservado aos corpos privilegiados, já que no posto “felizes para sempre” inscreve-se o pressuposto “não ser pessoa com deficiência e possuir beleza padrão” para ter direito ao ‘felizes para sempre’. Nossos resultados impactam sobretudo as áreas da linguagem e do ensino, porque se constituem por uma crítica a uma prática de leitura/perpetuação prescritivas de contos de fadas, acríticas e vazias, que apenas romantizam e naturalizam a tragédia da erradicação da pessoa com deficiência e a perpetuação do happy end enquanto pressuposto da elite.
Figurações da doença na obra literária
Authors: De Medeiros Márcia Maria , Fernandes Assumpção Douglas Junio , Rodrigues de Magalhães Nicole
Published: November 2024

A literatura pode ser entendida como um espaço que revela muito sobre a forma de ver o mundo e sobre a forma de ser no mundo em um determinado momento histórico. Ela pode servir como parâmetro, inclusive, para a compreensão de como uma sociedade encara o processo de saúde e doença nesse determinado momento. No caso específico deste artigo, a pesquisa compreendeu como o conto de Coelho Netto intitulado “Níobe” informava sobre os tratamentos das pessoas acometidas pela hanseníase. A pesquisa realizada foi qualitativa, de caráter exploratório e documental, utilizando como base para sua análise artigos publicados em língua portuguesa disponíveis no Portal de Periódicos da Capes, publicados entre os anos de 2018 e 2023. A análise do conto foi feita à luz da perspectiva proposta por Roland Barthes (2013). Conclui-se que a narrativa mostra que os sujeitos doentes de hanseníase eram segregados socialmente. Essa marginalização alcançava também a família dos doentes. Destarte, observa-se que se criava um estigma em torno da doença, cuja lógica de construção discursiva culpabilizava a pessoa enferma.

We present a pictorial essay based on the case of a 52-year-old man suffering from chronic gout, who was followed up for seven years. During this period of time, radiographs, ultrasonography, and dualenergy computed tomography were performed several times, revealing severe progression of gout. This was most likely due to the lack of patient compliance. Inflammatory and destructive lesions were observed in the wrists, in the metacarpophalangeal and proximal interphalangeal joints. Ultrasonography showed tenosynovitis, synovitis with small calcifications in the synovial membrane. Radiographs obtained in later stages showed tophi and bone erosions. Dual-energy computed tomography showed deposits of monosodium urate crystals in different locations, which increased in volume over time. This modality can be used to confirm a clinical diagnosis of gout, especially in early stages of the disease, and to follow up the treatment.
A Spicy Mystery, or ... with soap on our hands and foam at our mouths ...
Authors: Saberi Helen J , Helou Anissa , Pombo-Villar Esteban
Published: November 2024

The newly formed international organization INTERSPI, the young sister of INTERPOL, but dedicated to intercontinental investigations of mystery spices (or spicy mysteries), has scored its first triumph in (more or less) identifying a spice which has eluded the attention of all previous English-language cataloguers of spices. 
Detective Saberi (daughter of a former Chief Inspector of Police in the City of York, author of Noshe Djan- Afghan Food and Cookery, and currently working with Alan Davidson on The Oxford Companion to Food) inaugurated the enquiry, as she explains in this report (sequential in construction, to expose her modus operandi), but found that the scale of the operation called for international cooperation. The co-investigators whom she enlisted are named above. They were shrewdly chosen. Anissa Helou is the author of the forthcoming (September 1994) Lebanese Cuisine (Grub Street, London). Dr Pombo-Villar, who runs his part of INTERSPJ from a base in Switzerland, is a chemist with a particular interest in spices. 
Each of the authors speaks in turn. Detective Saberi then invites the Project Coordinator to review the somewhat perplexing results of the enquiry and to indicate the course of the further investigations which the whole team believe must be made. All help to this end will be welcome.
Exploring food-specific IgG responses in pediatric allergic disorders: A retrospective cross-sectional study
Authors: Fahad Atwah Ali , Abdulqader Koshak Emad
Published: November 2024

Background: The role of immunoglobulin G (IgG) responses to food as potential triggering factors in allergic disorders continues to be debatable, and is not endorsed by most allergy societies.
Objective: To explore the prevalence of specific IgG immune responses to common foods in pediatric allergic disorders and any potential relationship between them.
Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on children and adolescents diagnosed with allergic disorders at the Ekthar Clinic in Jeddah City. Food-specific IgG (FS-IgG) antibody test results were collected from their medical records.
Results: Seventy-five children with a mean age of 8.5 years (SD = 5.3) were included. The overall allergic diagnosis determined atopic dermatitis as the most common (57.3%, 43 participants), followed by food allergy and allergic rhinitis (each 40%, 30 participants), and bronchial asthma (29.3%, 22 participants). Food-specific IgG levels were elevated in all participants. The foods with the highest levels of FS-IgG were dairy products (88%: cow’s milk [86.6%], sour milk [81.3%], sheep’s milk [74.7%], cheese [72%], and goat’s milk [70.7%]), followed by gluten-containing products (81.3%: wheat [70.7%], gluten [69.3%], and spelt [66.6%]), and eggs (66.6%). Significant correlations (P < 0.05) were found between atopic dermatitis and several foods; chronic urticaria and chicken and lamb; asthma and ocean perch; allergic rhinitis and rennet cheese; and allergic conjunctivitis and potato, pollock, and lamb.
Conclusion: Among pediatric allergic disorders, dairy, gluten, and eggs were the most detected foods in FS-IgG tests, with some notable correlations with other foods. FS-IgG testing may help identify potential triggers in refractory allergic disorders.

Published: November 2024

Allergic diseases are becoming increasingly common, and they are a threat to people’s health. Exploring the distribution characteristics of allergen-specific immunoglobulin E (sIgE) in people from Sichuan province, southwest China, can provide clinical epidemiological data. This study enrolled 12,204 consecutive patients with suspected allergies from May 2018 to May 2021. Among the patients, 4206 were diagnosed with allergic rhinitis or asthma. The Rayto Lumiray 1600 detection system and sIgE and total IgE (tIgE) detection kits were used to measure the levels of nine common sIgE and tIgE. sIgE ≥ 0.35 IU/mL was considered positive. The sensitization rate of D1 (Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus) is the highest (22.97%), followed by D2 (Dermatophagoides farinae) (23.33%); M3 (Aspergillus fumigatus) has the lowest positive rate (1.5%). E5 (Canis familiaris) and I6 (Blatella germanica) exhibited relatively high sensitization rates (8.64% and 12.35%, respectively). Allergen sensitization was significantly higher in men than in women. Moreover, 90.3% of sensitization samples from D1 were combined with at least one of the other eight allergens. Similarly, a positive correlation was demonstrated between D1, D2, and E1 (Felis domesticus). In addition, patients with allergic rhinitis (91.88% and 91.54%, respectively), allergic asthma (72.44% and 74.01%, respectively), and allergic rhinitis with asthma (92.12% and 93.22%, respectively) were mainly sensitized to D1 and D2. D1, D2, I6, and E5 are the main allergens. Moreover, D1 and D2 are the main allergens in patients with respiratory allergic diseases. Research focusing on the distribution of allergens and the characteristics of hypersensitivity in different people helps prevent, diagnose, and treat allergic diseases.

The object of this study is the process of forming a training dataset for diagnosing the technical condition of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) using machine-learning algorithms. UAV flights are extremely important for various aspects of troop deployment. Combat UAV flights are performed under the influence of negative factors that cause flight special cases (FSC), which hinder the execution of combat missions, lead to mission failures, and result in the aircraft damage or loss. The available capabilities of autopilots are not enough for control under complex conditions, and in certain situations, the human operator cannot timely recognize a flight special case, including evaluation of the destructive impact of enemy’s electronic warfare systems on communication channels and operation of UAV. Therefore, the urgent issue is the intellectualization of onboard control systems, particularly towards recognizing the current technical state of UAV using artificial intelligence methods. To design such systems, labeled datasets are required. The procedure for forming datasets that consider the specificity of UAV construction and their combat use under adversarial conditions is not defined, necessitating the development of an appropriate method.
Based on the well-known CRISP-DM methodology, a method for dataset formation has been proposed for subsequent use in artificial intelligence systems that use various machine-learning methods.
This method differs from existing ones by considering the specificity of combat mission execution under adversarial conditions, which allowed for an 8.0 % increase in the accuracy of recognizing special cases in UAV flights by the onboard system. It also enabled timely detection of electronic warfare impacts on UAV and evaluation of the effectiveness of radio signal receivers jamming

Published: November 2024

The object of this research is delay in air traffic operations. The problem in this research that must be solved is how to reduce the impact of frequent delays which cause time efficiency but cause increased operational costs and make customers dissatisfied with air traffic services and then there is time complexity which is difficult to overcome. The interpretation of this research is to analyze existing problems and then apply mathematical methods so that it is possible to develop a model that is able to dynamically optimize flight rescheduling which can be beneficial for customers in reducing waiting times. This model will consider many important variables in managing delay schedules including real-time weather conditions, aircraft availability, airport capacity so that the results of this model show the ability to reduce the frequency and duration of delays which can increase customer satisfaction. This application shows that the model developed has main characteristics such as flexibility in adjusting schedules in terms of delays and accuracy in predicting potential delays so that the problems analyzed and researched can be resolved effectively and efficiently. This model can predict schedule delays with an accuracy level of 90 % according to predetermined input variables. Then there are quantitative benefits in the form of reducing operational costs for delays, increasing prediction accuracy and optimizing flight schedules. Qualitatively there are benefits in customer satisfaction and faster and more effective decision making. The scope of this research includes managing flight schedules at airports and international hubs. Implementation of this model is important to ensure high operational efficiency and minimize the impact of delays in various operational conditions
Devising an analytical method for solving the eighth-order Kolmogorov equations for an asymmetric Markov chain

Published: November 2024

The object of research is a complex system of three subsystems, which function independently of each other and are in a working or failed state. There is a need to analytically model and manage the Markov random process in the system, varying the intensity of their development-restoration and degradation-destruction flows. In the study, an analytical method for solving Kolmogorov equations of the eighth order for an asymmetric Markov chain was devised.
The corresponding Kolmogorov equations of the eighth order have an ordered transition probability matrix. The distribution of the eight roots of this equation in the complex plane has central symmetry.
The results are analytical solutions for the probabilities of the eight states of the Markov chain in time in the form of ordered determinants with respect to the indices of the eight roots and the indices of the eight states, including the column vector of the initial conditions.
Symmetry has been established in the distribution on the complex plane of eight real, negative roots of the characteristic Kolmogorov equation centered at the point defined as Re ϑ = –a7/8, where a7 is the coefficient of the characteristic equation of the eighth degree at the seventh power. Formulas expressing eight roots of the characteristic Kolmogorov equation have been heuristically derived, one of which is zero, due to the intensities of failures and recovery of three subsystems, the eight states of which in general make up an asymmetric Markov chain.
For structures consisting of three independently functioning processes, the random process of the transition of the structure through eight possible states with a known initial state is determined in time. An analytical solution to Kolmogorov differential equations of the eighth order for an asymmetric state graph is proposed in harmonic form for the purpose of analysis and synthesis of a random Markov process in a triple system.

The object of the study is the process of chemical transesterification of sunflower oil.
Liquid vegetable oils are an important component in the products of chemical, cosmetic, paint, food and other industries. Among other oils, sunflower oil is of exceptional industrial importance.
Chemical transesterification technology is used to obtain oils, fats and their mixtures with specified properties required for various industries. An important task is to develop rational conditions for the oil transesterification process using a highly efficient and safe catalyst.
The process of chemical transesterification of refined deodorized frozen sunflower oil according to DSTU 4492 (CAS Number 8001-21-6) using potassium glyceroxide was studied. The original oil has the following parameters: peroxide value 0.2 ½ O mmol/kg, acid value 0.1 mg KOH/g, moisture mass fraction 0.03 %, crystallization temperature –18.38 °С.
The effect of transesterification parameters on the oil crystallization temperature was examined. The catalyst concentration in all experiments was 0.45 % by weight of the oil. The oil crystallization temperature was determined by differential scanning calorimetry. Rational parameters of oil transesterification were defined: temperature 110 °C, duration 1.5 hours. Under these conditions, there is a maximum increase in the oil crystallization temperature (up to –4.1 °С). The effectiveness of the rational oil transesterification parameters was confirmed by changes in the triglyceride composition by chromatography analysis.
The obtained rational conditions for the chemical transesterification of sunflower oil in the presence of the potassium glyceroxide catalyst can also be used in the processes of oil transesterification with other raw materials using this catalyst.
Identifying patterns of change in traffic flows’ parameters depending on the organization of public transport movement

Published: November 2024

This study examines the issue of traffic organization on sections of city streets, in which there are public transport stop zones of different configurations (with a drive-in pocket and along a traffic lane). Accordingly, the object of research is the parameters of traffic flows; the subject is the regularities in their change on such specific sections of the street-road network, taking into account the configuration of stops, the number of traffic lanes, and priority conditions for the movement of public transport.
The task addressed in this work was the quantitative assessment of the efficiency of traffic management in public transport stop zones. It was also important to compare different configurations of street segments in terms of their impact on delays of private and public transport.
As a result of the research, the speed and time characteristics of the traffic flow and their dependence on its composition and intensity for different number and specialization of traffic lanes, as well as the location of the public transport stop, were determined.
The resulting quantitative indicators of delays of all types of transport for each modeling option made it possible to determine the best of them according to the criterion of minimal time loss. This applies to both private and public transport, as the values of delays may differ from each other by 10–50 %.
An applied aspect related to using the scientific result is the possibility of justifying the number of traffic lanes, or their allocation for public transport, as well as determining the appropriate configuration of stops. This constitutes the prerequisites for the transfer of the scientific results to the relevant interested structures in the field of transport, which are responsible for the organization and safety of traffic under urban conditions
Improving truck service performance in transporting rock aggregate using Genetic Ant Colony Algorithm
Authors: Ishak Syarifuddin , Djakfar Ludfi , Wicaksono Achmad
Published: November 2024

Inter-island shipment requests for rock aggregate products are served through the terminal for their own needs (TFON). The high demand for rock aggregate products causes many ships to queue up to be loaded. However, this condition is not comparable to the availability of dump trucks used to serve loading and unloading activities. This study aims to improve the performance of dump truck service in transporting rock aggregate so that the number of dump truck vehicles and optimal loading and unloading service times from the stockpile to ship at TFON are obtained. The research location was carried out at active rock mining companies in the Central Sulawesi region. The data collection method is carried out using field surveys (observations) using a time recording device by recording the process of transporting rock aggregates from the stockpile location to the ship in TFON and collecting secondary data on the demand for rock aggregates to be transported. The analysis method uses the hybrid Genetic Ant Colony Algorithm (ACO-GA) method namely a combination method between the Ant Colony Optimization algorithm and the Genetic Algorithm which aims to maximize the optimal number of trucks used in the transportation process and minimize the time in the loading and unloading process. The results showed that there had been an increase in service performance of the dump truck used in transporting rock aggregate with the longest distance of 2.3 km with a total of 5 dump trucks. The number of dump trucks of 5 units was selected because it falls within the fitness value criteria which is closest to the optimum value or equal to the value of the resources owned. Meanwhile, the optimal loading and unloading process time is in the range of 1.81–3.34 working days
CRITICAL CAUSAL EVENTS IN SYSTEMS BASED ON CQRS WITH EVENT SOURCING ARCHITECTURE
Authors: Lytvynov O. A. , Hruzin D. L.
Published: November 2024

Context. The article addresses the problem of causal events asynchrony which appears in the service-oriented information systems that does not guarantee that the events will be delivered in the order they were published. It may cause intermittent faults occurring at intervals, usually irregular, in a system that functions normally at other times.
Objective. The goal of the work is the comparison and assessment of several existing approaches and providing a new approach for solving the causal events synchronization issue in application to the systems developed using Command Query Responsibility Segregation (CQRS) with Event Sourcing (ES) architecture approach.
Methods. Firstly, the method of estimation of the likelihood of causal events occurring within the systems as the foundation for choosing the solution is suggested. Based on the results of the analysis of several projects based on CQRS with ES architecture it shows that the likelihood of critical causal events depends on the relationships among entities and the use-cases connected with the entities. Secondly, the Container of Events method, which represents a variation of event with full causality history, adapted to the needs of CQRS with ES architecture systems, was proposed in this work. The variants of its practical implementation have also been discussed. Also, the different solutions, such as Synchronous Event Queues and variation of Causal Barrier method were formalized and assessed. Thirdly, the methods described have been discussed and evaluated using performance and modification complexity criteria. To make the complexity-performance comparative assessment more descriptive the integrated assessment formula was also proposed.
Results. The evaluation results show that the most effective solution of the issue is to use the Container of Events method. To implement the solution, it is proposed to make the modifications of the Event Delivery Subsystem and event handling infrastructure.
Conclusions. The work is focused on the solution of the critical causal events issue for the systems based on CQRS with ES architecture. The method of estimation of the likelihood of critical causal events has been provided and different solutions of the problem have been formalized and evaluated. The most effective solution based on Container of Events method was suggested.
The assessment 1,2,3-Triazolo-[5,1-b]-1,3,4-thiadiazine derivative influence on restoration of the fibrous skin component during regeneration caused by burn injury

In this study, the stimulating effect of the 1,2,3-triazolo-1,3,4-thiadiazine derivative on the restoration of the fibrous skin component was evaluated on the burn cutaneous wound model of white male rats. The experiment included morphological and mechanical investigations. The animals of the experienced groups were taken out of the experiment on the 14th and 21st days to assess the regenerative process. Experimental animals received a third A grade burn injury. Treatment was carried out by applying an ointment containing the test substance to the affected area. Morphological analysis data indicate the stimulating effect of 1,2,3-triazolo-1,3,4-thiadiazine on the skin regeneration, particularly, the fibrous component restoration. By the 14th day of the experiment, all samples have weak mechanical characteristics. However, on the 21st day, samples from the "triazole" group demonstrate higher strength properties, stretching by 28,893 ± 4,548 % at a maximum load of 0,804 ± 0,129 MPa. Significant difference from the intact value (31,434 ± 4,921 % extension at a load of 5,082 ± 0,060 MPa) is probably associated with the contribution to the mechanical properties not only of the fibers thickness, but also the ways of fibers stacking in bundles, arrangement and interaction with other structural components of the tissue.
Grzech jako niewierność powołaniu Bożemu w nauczaniu Josepha Ratzingera/Benedykta XVI
Authors: Kluz Marek
Published: November 2024

Człowiek stworzony na obraz i podobieństwo Boże, może odejść od swego Pierwowzoru. Na wezwanie Boże zawarte w sumieniu ma możliwość odpowiedzenia „nie”. Przekreślając finalizm swego życia człowiek wchodzi na drogę destrukcji i zła moralnego. Był tego w pełni świadomy Joseph Ratzinger/Benedykt XVI, dlatego refleksja nad grzechem była nieustannie obecna w jego nauczaniu. Papież ukazuje grzech jako zerwanie więzi z Bogiem, pomniejszenie grzesznika oraz jako naruszenie prawidłowych relacji międzyludzkich. Wszystkie konsekwencje grzechu czynią człowieka nieszczęśliwym, a tym samym automatycznie przekreślają jego szczerą realizację powołania do relacyjnej miłości i świętości Wskazując na zgubne dla człowieka skutki grzechu, Benedykt XVI domaga się nie tylko przyznania do zła, ale i odejścia od niego.
Racjonalny wymiar emocji. Analiza współczesnych koncepcji
Authors: Kłóś Adam
Published: November 2024

Emocje i racjonalność zdają się stać na dwóch przeciwległych biegunach. Jednak rzeczywistość rzadko rysuje się w czarno-białych odcieniach. Dlatego w praktyce trudno osiągnąć stan czystego rozumu (nieskażonego emocjami i podświadomymi motywacjami). Jednocześnie element racjonalny zdaje się być nieodłączną częścią reakcji emocjonalnej. Celem tego artykułu jest pokazanie ogólnego zarysu kształtowania się współczesnych poglądów na temat racjonalnego i irracjonalnego komponentu emocji. Zagadnienie zostało omówione w kontekście historycznym, a w ostatniej części artykułu zaproponowano schemat, który jest próbą scalenia i uporządkowania prezentowanych poglądów. Racjonalna ocena bodźca, zdaniem autora, dokonuje się na kilku poziomach, automatycznej oceny pierwotnej i bardziej świadomej, aktywnej oceny wtórej. W ramach bronionej koncepcji emocje na każdym z tych etapów są postrzegane jako racjonalne strategie życiowe, pozwalające właściwie zareagować na napotkane sytuacje życiowe.
Działalność Komisji Kultu Bożego IV Synodu Diecezji Tarnowskiej – recepcja Vaticanum II i Kodeksu prawa kanonicznego z 1983 roku w prawie partykularnym
Authors: Zając Piotr
Published: November 2024

Synod diecezjalny jest wielkim wydarzeniem dla kościoła partykularnego. Jest miejscem przede wszystkim stanowienia prawa, które musi być dostosowane do rzeczywistości danego regionu. Stąd też nie dziwi fakt, że w swoim założeniu musi angażować wiele osób zarówno duchownych, jak i świeckich. IV Synod Diecezji Tarnowskiej wpisywał się w nurt synodalny, który miał miejsce po Soborze Watykańskim II. Zmiany zachodzące, zwłaszcza na płaszczyźnie sakramentalnej, zmuszały do reorganizacji podejścia duchowego, liturgicznego, ale przede wszystkim mentalnego. Powołana do tego celu Komisja Kultu Bożego miała sprostać temu zadaniu. Celem tego artykułu jest analiza dokumentów archiwalnych dotyczących problemów, z jakimi musiała się zmierzyć Komisja Kultu Bożego IV Synodu Diecezji Tarnowskiej odnośnie do życia sakramentalnego wiernych przy jednoczesnym wprowadzaniu wytycznych soborowych i nowych przepisów kodeksowych.

Implementación y evaluación preliminar del Microambiente Tumoral del Co-Cultivo HTB-125 / HTB-126 en respuesta a los tratamientos con Ascorbato de Potasio con Ribosa o Ribosato de Potasio
Authors: Sánchez-Vega María Gabriela , Guido Paoli , González Lazcano Covadonga
Published: November 2024

La implantación de una célula maligna o de una colonia metastásica indica indefectiblemente la respuesta combinada de las células tumorales y de las células sanas y es la consecuencia final de un proceso activo, continuo, complejo y multiescalonado denominado Cascada metastásica. Uno de los puntos importantes es detener este proceso antes de que se fortalezca y modifique la matriz extracelular. En este primer mecanismo intervienen los factores de adhesividad o glicoproteínas de unión que están mediadas por receptores de las células tumorales que si se ven inhibidas impedirían el proceso metastásico. Conocer los mecanismos de comunicación entre las células tumorales de mama triple negativo y de las células sanas de mama es esencial para diseñar estrategias terapéuticas efectivas teniendo en cuenta el microambiente tumoral. En estos ensayos se implementó un Co-Cultivo compuesto por Hs 578Bst (HTB-125 epitelial sana) y Hs 578T (HTB-126 epitelial tumoral triple negativo, ATCC® No. TCP-1002TM, derivada de un carcinoma mamario), en este Co -Cultivo se ha observado que, aunque los factores secretados por una línea celular no tengan un marcado efecto negativo sobre la proliferación de la otra línea, si influye sobre el desarrollo del proceso angiogénico de las células endoteliales. Este modelo de células en colonización activa que hemos diseñado nos ha permitido evidenciar que la respuesta beneficiosa del Ascorbato de Potasio con Ribosa y del Ribosato de Potasio sobre éste fue la inhibición del avance del microambiente tumoral y la disminución de las células tumorales que pueden migrar en condición de latencia.

Este artigo é resultado de uma pesquisa de mestrado na área da Educação. O objetivo foi de investigar os fatores que afetam a saúde dos professores que atuam na Educação Básica no período pandêmico e pós-pandêmico. Como pano de fundo, abordamos o cenário das políticas educacionais e os fatores que causam mal-estar docente. Para avaliar esse contexto, desenvolvemos uma pesquisa qualitativa, um estudo de caso em uma escola pública no Sul de Santa Catarina. Foi aplicado um questionário com 37 professores, revelando três categorias: (1) Características Gerais dos Professores; (2) Saúde dos Professores na Educação Básica; e (3) Impactos da Pandemia e Pós-Pandemia na Saúde Docente. A pesquisa evidenciou condições laborais precárias que impactaram negativamente a saúde docente. O período pandêmico e pós-pandêmico intensificou as doenças pré-existentes ligadas ao trabalho. Esses resultados reforçam a urgência de intervenções para um ambiente de trabalho mais saudável, crucial para o êxito educacional.

Acid mine drainage (AMD) presents a challenge to the environment if not well managed, but it also presents an opportunity for the recovery of economically valuable products, including rare earth elements (REEs), which are critical for the development of advanced, and green technologies. REE concentrations in AMD samples from coal and gold mines were determined using inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES) and their sorption by different cationic resins (CHT4083, CHP4502 and CHP00712) was evaluated. Optimum conditions for the sorption of the REEs by these resins were determined through batch experiments and desorption of the REEs from the resins using different concentrations of sulphuric acid (H2SO4) solutions. Coal mine drainage (CMD), with a low pH of 2.37, had higher amounts of REEs (ΣREE 226.3732 mg/L) than AMD from the gold mines (ΣREE 4.9705 mg/L), with a pH of 3.21. A REE sorption efficiency of up to 98% was obtained with CHP4502 and CHP00712 resins and further optimisation of CHP00712 revealed that a resin volume of 250 mL and a contact time of 10 min were required to successfully remove REEs from 500 mL AMD. The sorption capacities of the resin for the selected REEs were 3.88 mg/g, 0.88 mg/g, 1.37 mg/g, 3.18 mg/g, 0.67 mg/g, 0.01 mg/g and 0.27mg/g for Pr, Gd, Nd, Ce, Sm, Eu and Y, respectively. Elution of the resin with a 0.5 N solution of sulphuric acid desorbed the REEs. AMD from coal mines could be an alternate source of REEs and cationic resins can be used to recover these REEs from the CMD. Further investigations, including impregnation of resin to improve its sorption capacity, and temperature effects on the sorption process, are recommended.
Zvara Edina, Gratia mecenaturae Esterhasianae, A kismartoni ferences könyvtár története és állománya, Bp., MTAK−Kossuth, 2023 (Esterhazyana)

A kötet törzsanyaga az 1722-ben készült könyvtári inventárium közlése, a bevezető tanulmányban azonban Zvara Edina részletes áttekintés nyújt a kismartoni ferences rend alapításáról, tevékenységéről, az Esterházy családdal való kapcsolatáról. A ferencesek könyvtára összetételében jól tükrözte a rend alapvető tevékenységét. A rend célja nem a tudós prédikátorok nevelése volt, hanem a lelki gondozás, a példamutatás, a protestáns  hívek visszatérítése. A könyvek ennek megfelelően túlnyomó részt katolikus művek, jóllehet a térítéshez a barátoknak ismerni kellett a protestáns tanokat is. Ezeket általában másodlagos forrásból,  a katolikus szerzők vitairataiból ismerték meg, protestáns szellemiségű könyv kevés található a gyűjteményben.

Intraoperative neurophysiologic monitoring during brain tumor surgery should acquire a baseline data as soon as possible. However, motor unit potentials (MEP) in our case showed baseline data could not be acquired in the early stage of surgery, but consecutive trials had abrupt appearance of MEP just after dura opening. This case shows the acquisition of baseline MEP during brain tumor surgery should not be given up until the dura is open especially in a state of raised intracranial pressure.
ANALYSIS OF THE COURSES OF UKRAINIAN STUDIES, LAW, ECONOMICS AND POLITICAL SCIENCE AT THE UKRAINIAN ACADEMY OF ECONOMICS IN PODEBRADY, WHICH WERE STUDIED BY THE MEMBERS OF THE UKRAINIAN STUDENT SOCIETIES IN EASTERN GALICIA DURING THE INTERWAR PERIOD (1918–1939) IN EXILE

Background. Members of Ukrainian student societies in Eastern Galicia during the interwar period (1918-1939) played an outstanding role in the state-building and cultural processes in the western Ukrainian lands. However, due to political, socio-economic, and limited opportunities to receive education in their native language, a number of students were forced to emigrate. While abroad, the students often tried to continue their education, and one of the educational institutions in which the emigrated students from Eastern Galicia studied was the Ukrainian Academy of Economics in Podebrady. Methods. Analyzing the complexes of Ukrainian studies, law, economics and political science, we took into account not only the educational goals and characteristics of the courses, but also the challenges of the given period, followed the principles of objectivity, historicism and a social approach. A number of methods were also used, including general scientific methods (analysis, classification), interdisciplinary methods, and historical methods (comparative and historical). Results. The article analyzes the Ukrainian, economic, legal, and political science disciplines studied by members of Ukrainian student societies in Eastern Galicia during the interwar period (1918–1939) in exile, in particular at the Ukrainian Economic Academy in Podebrady In particular, the quantitative composition of students from Eastern Galicia who completed their studies at the Academy and the peculiarities of the teaching staff of these courses were studied. The purpose of mastering the analyzed areas of academic disciplines, as well as their influence on the formation of the future Ukrainian intelligentsia, is highlighted. The seminars that complemented the training courses are highlighted, as well as the publishing activities of the Academy to ensure the successful study of the specified courses of academic disciplines with textbooks. Conclusion. The generalized analysis of Ukrainian studies, economic, legal, and political science courses at the Ukrainian Academy of Economic Sciences emphasizes their focus on training highly qualified workers, as well as worthy successors to the Ukrainian intelligentsia of the time and builders of their own state, and highlights the desire of Ukrainian student societies in Eastern Galicia during the interwar period (1918-1939) to actively participate in the national and cultural life of the Ukrainian people, even in emigration.
CZECHS IN UKRAINE IN THE SECOND HALF OF THE NINETEENTH AND EARLY TWENTIETH CENTURIES
Authors:   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Kyiv, Ukraine, Malatsai Iryna
Published: November 2024

Background. More than 100 different nationalities live on the territory of modern Ukraine. This diversity was formed under the influence of economic and socio-political changes that have taken place in Europe in recent centuries. The article identifies the main regions of settlement and residence of Czech colonists within the modern borders of Ukraine, the differences in the conditions of resettlement, settlement, and farming, taking into account the state policy of settlement on Ukrainian lands, makes a comparative analysis of the socio-economic situation, and indicates possible directions for new research. Methods. Using general historical methods – comparative and synchronous, the principle of historicism – the transformational phenomena are considered and analysed taking into account the historical context of the development of social relations; the method of comparative and analytical analysis is used to form a holistic view of understanding the common and distinctive components of socio-economic phenomena In the process of processing the sources, an integrated approach and a comparative method are applied. Results. The author identifies the individual regions of Czechs' settlement in the second half of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The conditions of resettlement are indicated and the characteristic features of the socio-economic and legal status of the Czechs, depending on the region of their settlement, are investigated, as well as the contribution of the Czechs to the formation of socio-economic, scientific and cultural potential for the development of Ukrainian lands in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Conclusions. The migration processes of the second half of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries were the result of the intensive development of a new economic formation in Europe. In search of better living conditions, the process of resettlement of Czechs from Bohemia and Moravia intensified at that time. The settlement boundaries covered not only the territories of the Austrian Empire, but they also colonised the Ukrainian lands of the Russian Empire. The resettlement of Czechs from their historical homeland to the Ukrainian lands within the Austrian and Russian empires in the second half of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries was caused by various factors and preconditions. The process of Czech colonisation of the South of the Russian Empire took place in waves. Most Czechs settled in Volhynia, as well as in the Kyiv and Podillia provinces. By the beginning of the twentieth century, Czechs had become an integral part of the population of the Ukrainian lands
