The European Society of Gynaecological Oncology (ESGO), the International Society of Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynecology (ISUOG), the International Ovarian Tumour Analysis (IOTA) group and the European Society for Gynaecological Endoscopy (ESGE) jointly developed clinically relevant and evidence-based statements on the preoperative diagnosis of ovarian tumours, including imaging techniques, biomarkers and prediction models.

ESGO/ISUOG/IOTA/ESGE nominated a multidisciplinary international group, including expert practising clinicians and researchers who have demonstrated leadership and expertise in the preoperative diagnosis of ovarian tumours and management of patients with ovarian cancer (19 experts across Europe). A patient representative was also included in the group. To ensure that the statements were evidence-based, the current literature was reviewed and critically appraised.

Preliminary statements were drafted based on the review of the relevant literature. During a conference call, the whole group discussed each preliminary statement and a first round of voting was carried out. Statements were removed when a consensus among group members was not obtained. The voters had the opportunity to provide comments/suggestions with their votes. The statements were then revised accordingly. Another round of voting was carried out according to the same rules to allow the whole group to evaluate the revised version of the statements. The group achieved consensus on 18 statements.

This Consensus Statement presents these ESGO/ISUOG/IOTA/ESGE statements on the preoperative diagnosis of ovarian tumours and the assessment of carcinomatosis, together with a summary of the evidence supporting each statement.

Constitutional status of federal territories in Russia: theoretical foundations of legislative regulation
Authors: Vasilieva N. V. , Praskova S. V. , Pyatkovskaya Yu. V.
Published: June 2021

The subject of the study is the constitutional concept of federal territories in Russia. The purpose of the article is to confirm or disprove hypothesis that constitutional status of federal territories in Russia consists of system of elements and identify such elements. The authors use the method of formal legal interpretation of Russian Constitution, the methods of comparative constitutional law, complex analysis, systemic interpretation of Russian laws and drafts of laws. The main results of research, scope of application. When making an amendment to part 1 of Article 67 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation, the content of this innovation was not disclosed. Therefore the federal law on federal territories will be of decisive importance. The authors define the constitutional characteristics of the federal territories based on the literal content of the constitutional norm and the conclusion of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation. The federal territory is an element of the state territory that is not a subject of the federal structure and has a status different from the status of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation. There are specific features of the organization of public power in federal territory. The authors’ vision of the content of each of the elements of the federal territories is presented. It is noted that the defining element of the status of federal territories will be the purpose of their creation. The authors propose a conceptual division of federal territories in Russia into two types: inhabited and uninhabited. It is stated that at the moment, the status elements can be clearly defined only in relation to uninhabited federal territories. The formation of the concept of inhabited federal territories will depend on definition of the purpose of their creation. Conclusions. It is proposed to consider the elements of the status of federal territories in Russia, based on the elements of the status of the subject of the Russian Federation, and in comparison with them. Such elements are: territory, population, subjects of jurisdiction, responsibilities, state power organization, property and budget, system of taxes and fees, names and symbols, population’s role in the state affairs management.
Improvement of the external municipal financial control system in the context of public authority reform
Authors: Mironova S. M. , Mordvintsev A. I. , Eremenko I. A.
Published: June 2021

The subject. The implementation of external municipal financial control cannot be called fully competent in Russia. Many practical problems are currently being addressed mainly through the transfer of powers to implement external financial control to a higher level. Amendment to Art. 131–133 of the Russian Federation's Constitution in terms of clarifying the powers of local self-government and incorporating it into public authority, predetermines subsequent amendments to the legislation on local self-government, which can be aimed, among other things, at improving the system of external municipal financial control. The aim of the article is to confirm or disprove the following hypothesis. The reform of public authority will lead to a change in the system of external municipal financial control. Therefore it is possible to propose ways to improve the activities of municipal auditing and accounting authorities on the basis of constitutional novels and the analysis of the existing problems of implementing external municipal financial control. The methodology. The authors apply general scientific methods of comparative, logical and statistical research. The study is based on the analysis of academic literature, statistical data about the practice of the auditing and accounting bodies of municipalities. Russian judicial practice is also analyzed. The main results, scope of application. The organization of a modern system of external municipal financial control shows that it actually works only at the level of urban districts and municipal regions, and that is not always effective. Municipal control and accounting bodies are not created in settlements and the authority to exercise external financial control is transferred either to the level of the municipal district or to the level of the region of the Russian Federation. Conclusion. The municipal auditing and accounting body should retain the authority to exercise control without transferring it to the level of the constituent entity of the Russian Federation. However, at the same time, its role should be strengthened by increasing its status (for example, fixing at the federal level the criteria for the number of employees of the control and accounting body, financial support guarantees).

Published: June 2021

The study was accomplished through correlational research design. The purpose was comprised of investigating the impact of psychological burden on patients’ level of their marital life. The convenient sampling technique was utilized to approach 139 patients with diabetes mellitus as a sample. The data was collected through questionnaires as a source of measurement. The permission was taken to keep information confidential. The collected data was entered into SPPS for analysing. Inferential statistics were used to test hypothesis with the help of the following tests; linear regression and t-test for independent sample designs. The results of the study reflect that the psychological burden of diabetic patients influences their degree of marital satisfaction significantly. In addition, the difference of psychological burden (stress, depression and anxiety) and marital satisfaction was found significant with respect to demographic characteristics of the participants; gender, type of disease, education and working status. Female patients are reported with a greater level of psychological burden but they were observed with a poor degree of marital satisfaction as compared to males. Psychological burden and satisfaction associated with marital life due to diabetes was discussed as significant between working and non-working, type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus, and educated and uneducated patients. In the future, there is a need to investigate the coping styles as mediator between psychological disturbance and marital satisfaction.

Authors: Dalal Suhani , Berger Amnon A. , Orhurhu Vwaire , Kaye Alan D. , Hasoon Jamal
Published: June 2021

Meralgia paresthetica is a condition caused by entrapment of the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve at the level of the inguinal ligament. This nerve is a purely sensory nerve and provides innervation to the anterolateral portion of the thigh. The condition can lead to numbness, paresthesia, dysesthesia, and pain over the anterolateral aspect of the thigh, which are exacerbated with walking, standing, and hip extension. First-line treatment for MP includes conservative measures such as weight loss and eliminating tight-fitted clothing. Neuropathic pain medications and corticosteroid injections are also treatment options for some patients with significant pain complaints. In more refractory cases, surgical intervention can be considered. Peripheral nerve stimulation has also been shown to be a helpful treatment modality for patients with refractory meralgia paresthetica. Here we report our experience utilizing peripheral nerve stimulation in patients with significant pain complaints related to refractory meralgia paresthetica.

Doscientos años de independencia
Authors: Martínez Miralda Róger
Published: June 2021

La emergencia sanitaria, la estela destructora de Iota y Eta y la permanente crisis política en la que vivimos los hondureños, no ha permitido que consideremos con serenidad, y con profundidad, la importancia que reviste para Honduras, la conmemoración, y consecuente celebración, del bicentenario de la emancipación de la Centro América histórica, desde Chiapas hasta Costa Rica, del dominio español. Si bien es cierto, tal y como lo afirmara, en más de una ocasión, don José Cecilio del Valle, estos territorios no estaban suficientemente maduros para autogobernarse; porque el sistema educativo era incipiente, porque las comunicaciones presentaban muchos retos y porque el panorama económico no era muy alentador, también es cierto que la autogestión generaría un mayor sentido de pertenencia y que la conciencia de soberanía permitiría un mayor compromiso con el desarrollo local y un aprovechamiento interno de los propios recursos.

Laboratory study and measurement of stiffness and compaction of unsaturated clay soil by using the innovative rebound hammer
Authors: Halimi Behrouz , Saba Hamidreza , Jafari MehrAbadi Saeid , Saeidi Jam Saeid
Published: June 2021

Defining soil behavioral parameters, which eventually results in predicting every short-term and long-term soil behavior, has continually been one of the interests of soil mechanics and has been of exceptional value. To this end, in this study, a novel method has been reviewed to determine the compressive behavior of fine-grained soils in the laboratory and the field, without sampling by the patented electronic device. In the lab, homogeneous materials of the intended soil underwent the compaction test, mechanical and physical tests, direct shear test, and impacts of the innovative rebound hammer in the horizontal and vertical directions in the test-box. The impact shear waves produce resistance and voltage output by force and dislocation sensors with high-sensitivity proportional to the pressure based on the soil surface stiffness. The obtained voltages are then converted to digital by an analog-to-digital converter and a microcontroller. Next, a number is shown on display by the "CodeVision" program. Then, by solving a quasi-dynamic equation (Viscoelastic spring-damper model) by MATLAB software and with the aid of laboratory-field results and correlation equations, a fitting connection between all effective mechanical soil parameters has been estimated to an acceptable extent. The effective mechanical parameters of the soil include the compaction percentage, specific gravity, and frequency of the system in the damped and non-damped states, the energy imposed on the soil, and the plastic stage strain in the range of less than 15% humidity. The results determine that increased hammering numbers are directly related to increased soil compaction and stiffness. In more detail, the reading of hammer numbers less than 2 corresponds to compaction of less than 75%, while the reading of hammer numbers greater than 3 in the vertical and 2.94 in the horizontal directions on clay surfaces designates compaction of 90%.

Published: June 2021

In this study, a new method is introduced for stress data visualization. As an example, the SHmax variations in the Makran region are mapped by using this new approach. Maximum horizontal stress directions in the study area are extracted from earthquake focal mechanism data. The anisotropy study results in terms of shear wave splitting fast direction axes are added to the dataset to show its effect. The results show substantial variation in SHmax directions, which reflects the complicated tectonic nature of the region. Adding the shear wave splitting data improved the results' accuracy and showed the correlation between the two quantities in the study area.
An energy method for computing the use of fossil fuel energy
Authors: Temukuyev Timur B.
Published: June 2021

An energy method for computing the use of fossil fuel energy has been considered in the article. On the world market, the fuel price depends on supply and demand and involves no energy costs for fuel production. An energy analysis of economic activity was suggested by Charles Hall, an American scientist, who introduced a notion of Energy Returned on Energy Invested, as a ratio between returned and invested energy, into scientific discourse. No account has been taken of invested energy depreciation in this method. All losses are fully incorporated, when the ratio between beneficially used energy in all process flow chains from fuel deposit exploration to energy utilisation, and the considered amount of natural fuel primary energy is taken as the coefficient of beneficial primary energy use (CBPEU). When CBPEU is determined, allowance is made for all potential energy losses; the depreciation degree of energy, contained in the fuel, from its deposit to a consumer, is defined. When energy of renewable sources is utilised, a coefficient of renewable sources energy conversion, defined as the ratio between energy delivered by a power unit throughout the entire operation period, and invested energy taking into account CBPEU over the same period, will represent an objective criterion of power unit efficiency.
Mathematical modeling of islanded microgrid with static and dynamic loads
Authors: Ahmadi Hamed , Shafiee Qobad , Bevrani Hassan
Published: June 2021

Increasing the penetration level of distributed generation units as well as power electronic devices adds more complexity and variability to the dynamic behavior of the microgrids. For such systems, studying the transient modelling and stability is essential. One of the major disadvantages of most studies on microgrid modelling is their excessive attention to the steady state period and the lack of attention to microgrid performance during the transient period. In most of the research works, the behavior of different microgrid loads has not been studied. One of the mechanisms of power systems stability studies is the application of state space modelling. These studies include the development of state space models of various components of the power system and then linearizing them around an equilibrium point. In this paper, a comprehensive method for modelling of islanded microgrid with dynamic and static loads is presented. The basic step of the proposed method is transformation to a dq0-based model. In order to find a complete and accurate model of islanded inverter-based microgrid, the sub-modules of generation, network and load must be modelled in local dq reference and then transferred to a common reference. The simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed modelling approach for transient stability studies.
Application of the asymptotic theory of extreme values to risk simulation of breaking-out of large forest fires
Authors: Kosygin Vladimir Yu. , Katin Viktor D. , Akhtyamov Midkhat H. , Ilyavin Mihail V.
Published: June 2021

Issues of applying the asymptotic theory of extreme values to the risks analysis of breaking-out of the largest-area yearly forest fires, were considered. As original material, the paper authors used data on areas of the forest fires occurring in the south of Russia’s Khabarovsk Territory from 1968 to 2017. For each year, the largest-area forest fire was selected from the considered period of time. In all, 50 fires were selected for this period of time (according to quantity of the years in the period). This sample analysis showed that the general population of these fires areas (where the sample was selected) has probability distribution of extreme values of the first type. An analytical expression for the probability distribution function of this general population was received. On the basis of this distribution analysis, a forecast was made concerning risks of the breaking-out and the average recurrence periods of such fires for various values of the burning area. The conducted analysis showed that in 87.5% of cases, in the south of Khabarovsk territory, the largest-area yearly forest fires, with an area of from 50 to 400 km2, will break out with the 1.2 years recurrence interval. In other words, almost every year, with the exception of these rare events when fires with other areas will occur.  It was supposed that the probability distribution of extreme values of the first type can be applied not only to the forest area of Russia’s Khabarovsk territory, but also to other zones in the world with large forest areas.
The Influence of Geographic Region on Hip and Knee Arthroplasty Literature From 1988 to 2018
Authors: Sinclair SaTia T. , Emara Ahmed K. , Orr Melissa N. , Klika Alison K. , Piuzzi Nicolas S.
Published: June 2021

Introduction:

Total joint arthroplasty constitutes a major focus of publications within orthopaedics. Because research expands and investigators from around the world contribute, it is important to understand the dynamics of publication.

Methods:

PubMed was queried for hip and knee arthroplasty-related articles published between 1988 and 2018 within seven orthopaedic journals. A bibliometric analysis was done. The manuscript region of origin was determined by the affiliated country of the last author and used to examine trends in publication.

Results:

A total of 6,160 publications were included. Forty-eight countries from six continents were identified. The quantity of arthroplasty-related publications increased over the study period (n = 246 in 1988 and n = 1,247 in 2018, P < 0.01). Articles were primarily published by North America (51.9%), Europe (32.5%), and Asia (12.4%). Clinical trials accounted for 45.6% of all publications. Articles from Asia received fewer citations than those from North America, Europe, and Oceania (P < 0.001).

Discussion:

The volume of publications was five times greater in 2018 than in 1988, yet international articles constitute a marginal proportion of annual publications. Most of the literature (84.4%) originated from North America and Europe. Balanced publication of international research may favor global communication of findings, increasing the spectrum of available evidence applicable worldwide.

Aansprakelijkheid, verhaal en draagplicht bij de legitieme portie

In dit artikel wordt ingegaan op de draagplicht en aansprakelijkheid voor de legitieme portie en de verhaalsmogelijkheden van de legitimaris. De stelling wordt verdedigd dat de aansprakelijkheid van de erfgenamen steeds aansluit bij de evenredigheid van de erfdelen en niet bij de draagplicht. Een andere belangrijke conclusie is dat door de erflater gewijzigde draagplicht nooit verder strekt dan door de erflater verleende draagkracht.

Published: June 2021

Old-age loneliness is a crucial public health issue with mortality consequences as well as other negative health conditions and lifestyles including depression, substance abuse, sedentary lifestyles, and suicide ideation. This study investigated the predictors of loneliness among older adults in Nigeria’s southeast in order to articulate some interventions that will plummet the issue. A structured questionnaire (N = 516), in-depth interviews (N = 8), and focus group discussion (N = 16) were used to collect data from respondents aged 60 years or older. The quantitative data sets were subjected to chi-square and binary regression analysis, while a thematic analysis was adopted for the qualitative data. The study’s findings show that some demographic factors such as the number of children (p < .002), health status (p < .023), and social support (p < .014), among others, were statistically significant in predicting loneliness among older adults. The study, therefore, recommends the consideration of community-based services to enable elderly adults to buffer the experience of loneliness. Social workers should also influence the various organs responsible for social policies to formulate and promote policies that address the well-being of older adults.
Population Features of Visually Impaired Children and Their Parents Living in Hungary
Authors: Kiss Erika , Pajor Emese
Published: June 2021

This exploratory research (2014–2019) was conducted among visually impaired children aged 0–14 years and their parents. The paper focuses on the crucial features of the healthcare and pedagogical services provided for visually impaired children and analyses the situation of parents raising them. In order to explore the population characteristics of visually impaired children in Hungary, we relied on two major data sources: the census data of the Hungarian Central Statistical Office between 1990–2016, and the examination documents of the Corps of Pedagogical Services of Visually Impaired Children between 2009–2013. The research included data of 1,432 visually impaired children. In order to survey the situation of these children’s parents, we conducted semi-structured, individual interviews. We investigated the retrospective narratives of 39 mothers and 29 fathers through narrative categorical content analysis and performed the situation analysis of the parents, using the model of game theory between humans and environment, whilst we also took into consideration the Hungarian and international methodological context for researching parents raising visually impaired children. Results suggest that the population of visually impaired children is under transformation: visually impaired groups based on the classical interpretation of visual performance are being replaced by new groups governed by needs. What the parents of such children seem to lack the most in the Hungarian care system are the opportunities for physical and mental relief. It would be vital to improve the situation of the parents concerned by more flexible special education and social services that could support both single parents and couples to overcome their difficulties.

Understanding mental health literacy is essential for promoting empowerment and proactivity in patients, reducing stigma, and increasing population awareness. The constitutive dimensions of mental health literacy are still being researched, and instruments- research can shed light on the involved processes. The Mental Health Literacy Scale (MHLS) is a self-report measure of mental health literacy. This study aimed to adapt the MHLS to Portuguese and evaluate mental health literacy in a broad sample. A broad sample of 337 individuals participated in the adaptation. Besides filling out the MHLS, the participants were invited to fill out a general lifestyle measure. The global results reveal a good internal consistency of the MHLS. A three-factor structure (i.e., attitudes towards mental illness, knowledge about mental illness, and the ability to recognize symptoms) explained 35% of the total variance. Despite not finding an association with the general lifestyle measure, the MHLS scored higher in women and individuals with higher schooling, as expected. The results reinforce the role of MHLS as a useful measure of mental health literacy. The identified structure is discussed in light of the current understanding and implications of this essential process.

The current German law mandates data sharing only under narrow conditions. The increasing spread of "data-hungry" AI systems is prompting demands for data sharing obligations in other circumstances, directed in particular towards companies in the digital economy.

This study questions whether it would be advisable to open up access to exclusive data from the private sector for training self-learning AI systems in order to promote innovation opportunities and incentives. It explores the question of whether case-by-case solutions or sector-specific regulatory responses are a better solution. For this purpose, proposals for change from politics and science are examined and own ideas are developed.

Introduction: Congenital ichthyosiform erythroderma (CIE) is a subtype of autosomal recessive congenital ichthyosis (ARCI), a group of ineffective keratinization disorders, which mainly results from missense mutations in the transglutaminase 1 (TGM1) gene. Case Presentation: Herein, a 9-year-old male case of CIE is presented, for whom we conducted genetic testing to uncover the underlying molecular cause of his condition. We performed whole-exome sequencing (WES) on the DNA extracted from blood, and the data was analyzed for checking pathogenic variants. Analysis of the WES data identified a novel missense variant, c.1165C >T (p. Arg389Cys), in the TGM1 gene. Evaluation of this variant via in silico tools showed its detrimental consequences on the stability and function of the encoded protein. The variant was characterized as likely pathogenic based on the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics guidelines for variant interpretation. Analysis of all available family members confirmed the co-segregation of this novel variant with the CIE disease within the family. Conclusions: This study reported the successful application of WES and bioinformatics analysis to identify a novel mutation in a well-established ARCI-causing residue in an Iranian patient.

Background:

Depression is a common comorbidity in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) and is associated with decreased quality of life. Identifying treatments that aid psychological and physical rehabilitation in patients with MS provides valuable information for interdisciplinary teams.

Methods:

Seventy-five adults with MS who completed the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) and Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Global Health scale during routine physical therapy appointments where the (CAREN) system was used were studied. Data were retrospective and collected via patient-reported outcomes. Group comparisons used 2-sample t tests or Mann-Whitney U tests for continuous variables and Fisher exact tests for categorical variables. To examine self-reported depression, mean ± SD baseline scores were computed and stratified by number of CAREN sessions.

Results:

Patients with 5 or more sessions seemed to have lower baseline PHQ-9 and PROMIS Mental Health scores; however, no significant differences were found at the univariate level. There were no statistically significant differences in follow-up scores for the outcome measures.

Conclusions:

Current research evaluating the rehabilitation of patients with MS using the CAREN system is scarce. This pilot study is important to inform prospective studies exploring use of the CAREN system for psychological rehabilitation. Patients with 5 or more CAREN sessions had lower baseline PHQ-9 scores, which may suggest that mood plays a role in the selection of patients for CAREN system use. This study shows that mood is not affected by the CAREN system. More specific research needs to be completed with a more robust sample.

Czochralski (CZ) silicon is a base material for manufacturing integrated circuits (ICs). The mechanical strength of CZ silicon determines the processing limitations and often dominates the issues related to packaging and failure of ICs. With the ever-smaller feature size of ICs, the scaling of device dimensions may indirectly lead to increase the stress in silicon substrate, thus increasing the probability of generating dislocations. Consequently, improving the mechanical strength of CZ silicon is of significance for increasing the manufacturing yield of ICs. In this work, we propose a strategy of co-doping germanium (Ge) impurity and nitrogen (N) impurity into CZ silicon to achieve better mechanical strength. In order to explore the feasibility of such a strategy, we comparatively investigate the room-temperature hardness and dislocation gliding behaviors in the temperature range of 600–1200 ℃ in the conventional CZ silicon, Ge-doped CZ silicon, N-doped CZ silicon, as well as N and Ge co-doped CZ silicon. The significant experimental results are described as follows. 1) Ge-doping, N-doping or co-doping of Ge and N hardly influences the hardness and therefore the dislocation gliding behavior at room temperature. 2) The suppressing effect of N-doping on the dislocation gliding is remarkable at 600–1000 ℃ and becomes weakened at the temperatures higher than 1100 ℃, while Ge-doping hardly affects the dislocation gliding at 600–900 ℃ but exhibits a strong suppressing effect on the dislocation gliding at 1000–1200 ℃. 3) Co-doping Ge and N impurities into CZ silicon can take the complementary advantages of both Ge- and N-doping to suppress the dislocation gliding at 600–1200 ℃. It is believed that N-doping can result in the formation of N-O complex-related pinning agents within the dislocation cores to suppress the dislocation gliding at 600–1000 ℃. For Ge-doping, it is supposed that Ge-O complexes acting as the pinning agents can form near the front of a single dislocation when the temperature is as high as 1000 ℃ and above. In a word, it is verified in this work that co-doping Ge and N into CZ silicon can further improve the mechanical strength at the processing temperatures of ICs fabrication.

Nuclear factor 90 (NF90) is a novel virus sensor that serves to initiate antiviral innate immunity by triggering stress granule (SG) formation. However, the regulation of the NF90-SG pathway remains largely unclear. We found that Tim-3, an immune checkpoint inhibitor, promotes the ubiquitination and degradation of NF90 and inhibits NF90-SG-mediated antiviral immunity. Vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) infection induces the up-regulation and activation of Tim-3 in macrophages, which in turn recruit the E3 ubiquitin ligase TRIM47 to the zinc finger domain of NF90 and initiate a proteasome-dependent degradation via K48-linked ubiquitination at Lys297. Targeted inactivation of Tim-3 enhances the NF90 downstream SG formation by selectively increasing the phosphorylation of protein kinase R and eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2α, the expression of SG markers G3BP1 and TIA-1, and protecting mice from VSV challenge. These findings provide insights into the crosstalk between Tim-3 and other receptors in antiviral innate immunity and its related clinical significance.
