The successes and challenges of organ transplantation

Fadi G. Lakkis, Professor of Surgery at the University of Pittsburgh, charts the successes and challenges of organ transplantation. Organ transplantation is a great success story that started 70 years ago with the first successful kidney transplant between identical twin brothers in Boston, Massachusetts. Now, more than 180,000 transplants are performed each year between related and unrelated individuals worldwide, thanks to advances in surgical techniques and medicines known as immunosuppressants. Immunosuppressants weaken the recipient’s immune system and prevent it from rejecting the transplanted organ. In addition to life-saving organs such as kidneys, livers, hearts, and lungs given to patients who otherwise would perish without them, more and more humans are receiving transplants that are not life-sustaining but that enhance life quality.

Pain regulation and research: Decoding the brain’s response to pain

Professor Patrick Stroman from the Centre for Neuroscience Studies at Queen’s University shares insights into his research on the neural basis of human pain and pain regulation, which is supported by functional magnetic resonance imaging. The research being carried out by Dr Patrick Stroman at Queen’s University is focused on understanding the neural basis of human pain and how it is altered in chronic pain conditions. Carrying out this research in humans requires the use of a non-invasive neuroimaging method such as functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). Over two decades, he has developed the necessary methods and has applied them to obtain new insights into neural signaling involved with pain.

Age-related changes in cardiomyopathic phenotype in patients with barth syndrome

With current treatment options for BTHS cardiomyopathic phenotype focused predominantly on alleviating symptoms, Dr Hani N. Sabbah, Director of Cardiovascular Research at Henry Ford Health, explores the potential of more targeted treatment approaches. Barth syndrome (BTHS) is a rare, X-linked disease caused by defects in the TAFAZZIN gene encoding an acyltransferase responsible for the remodeling/maturation of cardiolipin (critical to mitochondrial structure/function).(1) The most common clinical manifestation of BTHS is cardiomyopathy (~90% of BTHS patients) with a wide range of phenotypical presentations.(2,3) Mechanisms contributing to BTHS cardiomyopathy pathophysiology include abnormal mitochondrial structure/function,(4) defective mitochondrial calcium uptake,(5) a mismatch between ATP supply and demand,(6) and altered lipid/glucose metabolism.(7) The BTHS cardiomyopathic phenotypes appear to evolve with advancing age, which may be useful in treatment selection.

How can Europe and its industry transition to a more circular and sustainable society?

Mattias Lindahl from Linköping University and Carl Dalhammar from Lund University explore how Europe and its industry can transition to a more circular and sustainable society. Society today focuses on doing things more efficiently. However, the starting point should instead always be what is the right (effective) thing to do – and to do that efficiently. Related to this, an industrial transition is necessary to shift to a more circular and sustainable society. The current situation results from past ideas on effective markets, legal concepts and cultures, business models, and thoughts on ownership and consumer culture.

Decoding the brain’s role in preventing and recovering from knee injuries

Dustin Grooms, Professor of Clinical Neuroscience at Ohio University, tells us about his research on the brain’s role in shaping injury-risk movement patterns and how this knowledge could aid rehabilitation practices and the development of new therapies to mitigate the risk of knee injuries. In sports, where split-second decisions and fast movements are crucial, knee injuries like torn ACLs pose a challenge. Experts focus on biomechanics and lower body strength, but a new frontier explores the brain’s impact on prevention and recovery. With nearly 200,000 annual ACL injuries in the US, especially among young athletes, research delves into the connection between neural adaptation and physical performance. Recent studies from our lab highlight the brain’s role in shaping injury-risk movement patterns and provide a roadmap for reducing injury risk by understanding how the brain processes sensory inputs.

Authors: Rao M. Venkateswara , Yanamala Venkaiah
Published: October 2023

The impact of the organophosphate malathion on the protein electrophoretic patterns of the freshwater fish Labeo rohita (Hamilton) brain and muscle tissues were examined. Over 10 days, fish were given sub-lethal dosages of malathion (2 percent) at 24-, 48-, 72-, and 96-hour intervals. For example, muscle and brain tissue proteins, were run on 7.5% SDS -PAGE to look for alterations in protein structure. Ten protein bands were found to be responsible for controlling skeletal muscle and brain function. At various times after Malathion exposure, the quantity and intensity of protein bands were reduced in the fish. There were also new protein bands found to be antagonistic to pesticides. Standard marker proteins were used to determine protein banding patterns, and Rm values were then determined. Electrophoretogram data from this investigation demonstrated that protein bands in gills and muscles were similar, with very slight differences.

Published: October 2023

In recent times, mobile communications and Internet of Things (IoT) techniques have been technologically advanced to gather environmental and human data for many applications and intelligent services. Remote monitoring of disabled and older people living in smart homes is very difficult. Human activity recognition (HAR) is an active research area for classifying human movement and application in many regions like rehabilitation, healthcare systems, medical diagnosis, surveillance from smart homes, and elderly care. HAR data are gathered in wearable devices that contain many kinds of sensors or with the mobile sensor aid. Lately, deep learning (DL) algorithm has shown remarkable performance in classifying human activity on HAR information. This paper presents a new Arithmetic Optimization Algorithm with LSTM Autoencoder (AOA-LSTMAE) for HAR technique in the IoT environment. In the presented AOA-LSTMAE technique, the major intention is to recognize several types of human activities in the IoT environment. To accomplish this, the AOA-LSTMAE technique mainly derives the P-ResNet model for feature extraction. In addition, the AOA-LSTMAE technique utilizes the LSTMAE classification model for the recognition of different activities. For improving the recognition efficacy of the LSTMAE model, AOA is used as a hyperparameter optimization system. The simulation validation of the AOA-LSTMAE technique is tested on benchmark activity recognition data. The simulation results of the AOA-LSTMAE technique and compared methods stated the improvement of the proposed model with an accuracy of 99.12% over other recent algorithms.

Virtue in All We Do: Aristotelian Insight into Character Development and the Air Force’s Core Values
Authors: Brown Joel
Published: October 2023

This article demonstrates how Aristotle’s political and ethical thought serves as a unique lens to understand character development and the Air Force’s core values. This article first moves to show that because the moral lapses occurring in the Air Force were seeen as stemming from character flaws, a program of character development like Aristotle’s would offer ideas superior to value-systems that emphasize rule following. This essay then looks to Aristotle to provide conceptual content for the ideas of character, character development, and each of the Air Force core values of integrity, service before self, and excellence—which also translates from the Greek as “virtue”—in all we do.
The Import of Critical Phenomenology for Theorizing Disability
Authors: Wieseler Christine ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: October 2023

In this paper, I explore the claim that phenomenological accounts grounded in the lived experiences of those most tangibly impacted by social norms related to ability can provide crucial correctives and supplements to the existing philosophical literature on disability. After situating discussions of the body within disability theory and debates over the impairment/disability distinction in philosophy of disability more specifically, I argue that extant models are inadequate for theorizing subjective experiences of living as a disabled person. I then develop an account of the relationship between impairment/disability by drawing upon critical phenomenological approaches to embodiment. In conclusion, I turn to the methodological and metaphilosophical issue of how to conduct ethical inquiry concerning disability. I examine some of the ways that ableist assumptions can inform curiosity, provide examples of disabled people’s accounts of experiencing derivatizing curiosity, and offer suggestions for practices of curiosity that not only avoid epistemic harms, but are actively anti-ableist.

Progress, Evolving Paradigms and Recent Trends in Economic Analysis
Authors: Damasevicius Robertas
Published: October 2023

This paper provides a thorough review of the shifting landscape of economic analysis, spotlighting recent trends and predicting future paths. While traditional economic models remain key for interpreting economic activity, they are being supplemented by fresh methods and cross-disciplinary viewpoints. The increased attention to inequality studies, using advanced statistical techniques and unique data sources, underscores the growing emphasis on fairness and distribution within economic analysis. The incorporation of behavioral elements into economic models also expands our comprehension of economic decision-making and market results. Notably, the emergence of computational economics-integrating artificial intelligence (AI), big data, and machine learning into economic scrutiny-represents a major development. Often referred to as ’smart economics,’ this field employs technology to formulate, address complex economic dilemmas, and perceive economic activity in unconventional ways. Yet, the application of AI and machine learning in economics introduces new hurdles around data privacy, algorithmic bias, and the transparency of model outcomes. The impact of the digital revolution on economic analysis is significant, as the advent of computational economics and the surge of big data are transforming research techniques and policy implications. Concurrently, the advent of the circular economy indicates a radical shift in our perspective on economic sustainability, carrying considerable implications for environmental policy and business tactics.  In the future, it’s anticipated that these trends will further modify the realm of economic analysis, with AI and machine learning integration, emphasis on sustainability and fairness, and the influence of big data becoming more pronounced. As these changes take place, it’s imperative for researchers, policymakers, and practitioners to remain adaptable and flexible, prepared to capitalize on the opportunities and tackle the challenges these trends present.

Published: October 2023

Background and purpose. Due to the high loads of skilled underwater swimmers during the competitive period, the use of recovery means to improve the functional capabilities of athletes is of particular importance. Purpose: To experimentally test the recovery methodology in the competitive period of swimmers specialising in bilast and monolast swimming based on the use of sauna, taping and massage. Material and Methods: 10 diving swimmers aged 18-20 years (males), who have the title of master of sports, who train in the swimming pool "Kupava", Brovary. The experiment was conducted from January to May 2023. Swimmers were divided into two groups depending on their specialisation: swimming with a monolast and swimming with a bilast.  Methods: theoretical analysis of scientific literature, testing of "Surface Flipper Swimming (SF)", "Bi-flipper Swimming (BF)" at distances of 50 metres during the competition period. Results: As a result of the experiment, athletes specialising in swimming with a monofin significantly reduced the time of swimming the distance (p<0.05) in the test "Surface Flipper Swimming (SF)", as a result of testing "Breathless Swimming (BF)", a significant improvement in the results of athletes was not revealed. The presented method allows to significantly improve the functional state of the neuromuscular apparatus, preparing the swimmers' organism for repeated physical loads, because the cyclic muscular activity in swimming in fins makes particularly high demands on the cardiovascular system, and special performance clearly correlates with the characteristic of functional abilities of the heart of qualified athletes Conclusions. The results of the study confirmed the effectiveness of the use of combined methods of recovery in the competitive process of qualified scuba divers, based on the use of sauna, massage, taping.
Heat and Laplace type equations with complex spatial variables in weighted Fock spaces
Authors: Gal Ciprian G. , Gal Sorin G.
Published: October 2023

In a recent book co-authored by the authors of this article, we studied by semigroup theory methods several classical evolution equations, including the heat and Laplace equations, with real time variable and complex spatial variable, under the hypothesis that the boundary function belongs to the space of analytic functions in the open unit disk and continuous in the closed unit disk, endowed with the uniform norm. Also, in a subsequent paper, the authors have extended the results for the heat and Laplace equations in weighted Bergman spaces on the unit disk. The purpose of this article is to show that the semigroup theory methods work for these two evolution equations of complex spatial variables, under the hypothesis that the boundary function belongs to the weighted Fock space on \(\mathbb{C}\), \(F_{\alpha }^p(\mathbb{C})\), with \(1\leq p<+\infty \), endowed with The \(L^p\)-norm. Also, the case of several complex variables is considered. The proofs use the Jensen's inequality, Fubini's theorem for integrals and the \(L^p\)-integral modulus of continuity.

This paper describes the spatial address databases which on the basis of data obtained from censuses will allow to prepare analyzes at different levels of aggregation. The main part of the paper is devoted to characteristics of being implemented by the Geostatistical Portal of the Polish CSO (PGS). The creation of the PGS allows to present results of the Agricultural Census 2010 and the National Census of Population and Housing 2011 and disseminate the aggregated data in the form of spatial analyses. The article gives some examples of ”ready” services on the PGS, and brought closer the possibility of generating a variety of own analyzes using the site functions.
El papel de enfermería en la detección precoz y prevención de la trombosis del stent en pacientes sometidos a angioplastia coronaria
Authors: Ferrer Bañolas Lucía , Beltrán Folch Lucía , Santano Rojas Marina
Published: October 2023

Resumen

Introducción. La trombosis del stent es una de las complicaciones graves tras una angioplastia coronaria. Puede presentarse con dolor torácico y cambios electrocardiográficos o incluso como muerte súbita y se caracteriza por la evidencia angiográfica o post mortem de un trombo recientemente formado en un segmento con stent previo y puede tener lugar desde intraprocedimiento hasta años después de la implantación. Hay varios factores de riesgo, tanto relacionados con la lesión y el procedimiento como con la adherencia al tratamiento antiagregante y los antecedentes personales.
El objetivo de este caso es presentar un plan de cuidados para detectar y prevenir la trombosis de un stent en pacientes a los que se les realiza una angioplastia coronaria.
Material y métodos. Se realiza una valoración a través del modelo de las 14 necesidades de Virginia Henderson y se prepara el plan de cuidados con sus respectivos diagnósticos (NANDA), objetivos (NOC) e intervenciones (NIC) con los indicadores de resultados y actividades. Se evaluará mediante la escala Likert.
Resultado y conclusiones. Se destacan los siguientes diagnósticos: disminución del gasto cardiaco, perfusión tisular periférica ineficaz y conocimientos deficientes. Enfermería interviene en la detección precoz de signos y síntomas que puedan orientarnos hacia la trombosis de un stent, observando cualquier cambio de forma inmediata, y en la prevención de la misma, realizando educación sanitaria tras la angioplastia, resaltando la importancia del tratamiento antitrombótico y en la modificación de factores de riesgo modificables.

Resumen

Introducción. A pesar de que el shock cardiogénico se presenta entre el 5 y el 8% en los infartos agudos de miocardio, tiene una mortalidad del 60%. Gracias al soporte tecnológico disponible, se puede tratar este tipo de pacientes con mayor éxito. Esto implica la formación continua y adecuada del personal de enfermería.
El objetivo de este caso clínico es describir el plan de cuidados llevado a cabo tras la activación del código infarto en un paciente en parada cardio-respiratoria.
Descripción del caso. Paciente de 45 años en shock secundario al infarto que precisó reanimación cardiopulmonar prolongada antes y después de la revascularización coronaria. Dada la emergencia del caso se realizó una valoración inmediata por sistemas. En la fase diagnóstica se formuló el problema real «disminución del gasto cardiaco» y el problema de colaboración «limpieza ineficaz de las vías aéreas» derivados del shock. Las intervenciones se centraron en el manejo del shock y de la arritmia y las actividades necesarias para conseguir la permeabilidad de la vía aérea.
Discusión. A pesar de la revascularización coronaria hubo que realizar reanimación prolongada con dispositivo de compresión externa, múltiples desfibrilaciones e implantar un dispositivo de asistencia ventricular. Este caso clínico ilustra la importancia del papel que ocupa el profesional de enfermería en una situación de emergencia y la necesidad de formación del personal ante la incorporación al sistema sanitario de alta tecnología que puede contribuir a la supervivencia del paciente.

Published: October 2023

Continuous work on quality improvement in all business domains, based on employee teamwork and process orientation, is one of the key predictors of maintaining and improving the company's existing competitive position. Organizational culture, as a key factor of the company's internal environment, is an important determinant of the implementation of the concept of total quality management (TQM concept), which is directly reflected in the generation of TQM performance improvement. The conducted empirical research includes a sample of 64 manufacturing companies, with a certified quality management system, in the territory of the Republic of Serbia. Their business practice indicated the existence of a strong direct correlation between the dimensions of organizational culture -the principles of the TQM concept -TQM performance, which is an indicator of the significant impact of organizational culture on generating improvements in any domain of implementing the quality management philosophy and reaching the level of business excellence. The contribution of the paper is reflected in the expansion of the knowledge base and a better understanding of the mutual relationship between internal organizational relations and the quality improvement process.

Between singing and dying: The position of music in the narrative strategies of the theater work Infernal Comedy: Confessions of a Serial Killer
Authors: Mitrović Radoš
Published: October 2023

Moving in the "in-between" spaces, both regarding genre and content, director and playwright Michael Sturminger, in collaboration with conductor Martin Hasselböck and actor John Malkovich, wrote an intriguing work of art called "The Infernal Comedy: Confessions of a Serial Killer". This piece, premiered in 2009, is a monodrama with musical numbers taken from already existing operas, which are recontextualized and become an integral part of the play, acquiring different dramatic functions during the performance. Female vocal soloists (two sopranos) are present on stage as musical performers, but also as actors - in fact, they constantly move in spaces between reality and fiction. In this sense they have a very specific position within what can be described as an artistic game of meanings and divergent plans, i.e. registers of speech. In this paper we will analyze precisely these diverse dimensions of the text, as well as the position and role of music in the drama; the relationship between the narrative planes of the arias and the dramatic text, as well as the dramatic treatment of female vocal soloists, who are, depending on the context, either subjects or objects, passive or active participants in the action, occupying different places within the narrative structure.
Negotiorum gestio: Roman foundations of unauthorized management of another's affairs in Serbian civil law
Authors: Stefanović Nenad
Published: October 2023

Negotiorum gestio is a legal institute that originates from Roman law. It still exists today and in the legal literature we find a term that defines it as: the unauthorized performance of another's affairs, i.e., agency without authority. The institute of negotiorum gestio has been continuously used and is the subject of legal regulation in most countries of the continental, European legal systems, including the law of the Republic of Serbia, for more than two millennia. The aim of this paper is to compare the solutions from Roman and contemporary law of obligations using the normative, descriptive, comparative and analytical-synthetic scientific methods. The paper is divided into three parts: the first part, which deals with the Roman understanding of the negotiorum gestio institute, the second part, which presents the current solutions regarding this institute contained in the Law of Contract and Torts of the Republic of Serbia, and the third part, which, using a comparative and the historical method, draws conclusions about whether current solutions contained in contemporary law are better than those that were applied in the ancient period.
Legal regime for the protection of employees' claims in the case of employer's bankruptcy in the Republic of Serbia
Authors: Radovanović Vladimir
Published: October 2023

When bankruptcy proceedings are initiated by an employer, that often leads to uncertainty and problems for its employees. One of the biggest problems in this kind of situation is the protection of employees' claims arising from the employment relationship. Employees have the right to the payment of their claims arising from the employment relationship, such as unpaid wages, transportation allowances, meal allowances, holiday bonuses and the alike. However, in the case of the employer's bankruptcy, these claims are at risk, and there is a possibility that employees may not be able to fully collect them, which compromises the fundamental principles of labor legislation. For this reason, the state intervenes to protect monetary claims arising from employment. The primary mechanism involves granting privileged creditor status with priority claims, along with mechanisms to protect these claims through a special guarantee institution. If there was no such intervention by the state, the realization of those rights would be difficult. However, even with state intervention, the realization of these rights is not guaranteed. In this regard, this paper will examine models for protecting employees' claims in the event of bankruptcy, while identifying practical problems in this field.
