‘To Heal a Wound’: Superstudio and the Western Wall Plaza at the Israel Museum, 1982
Authors: Brown Alex , Alba Avril
Published: August 2023

The exhibition Metaphors and Allegories: Superstudio, Firenze opened at the Israel Museum in Jerusalem in 1982. Initially conceived by curator Izzika Gaon as an opportunity to communicate the Florentine group’s ‘special method of working and thinking’ through existing work, Metaphors and Allegories ultimately initiated a much more direct conversation with the Israeli public through the display of a design for the Western Wall Plaza undertaken by Adolfo Natalini and David Palterer. Drawing on archival material and interviews, this paper positions this scheme as a provocation that sought to use its position within the museum to reflect on and respond to a series of ongoing political and social tensions within Israeli society. A temporary display intended to be seen within the walls of the Israel Museum, Natalini and Palterer’s project for the Western Wall Plaza intertwines various views of the past that inform the differing conceptions of the wall’s purpose, challenging a singular, statist vision for the site.
A katonai csapat- és árumozgásokat érintő vámformalitások változásai, hatásuk a mûveletek támogatására
Authors: Kenessei Zsolt , Gulyás György
Published: August 2023

A sikeres katonai műveletek egyik alapvető alkotóeleme a csapatmozgás, illetve a katonaianyagok szállítása. A tevékenység célja, hogy a feladatok végrehajtásához a kijelölt erők és a csapatok ellátásához szükséges erőforrások az igényeknek megfelelően rendelkezésre álljanak. A Magyar Honvédség külföldi műveletekben történő szerepvállalás avagy a nemzetközi gyakorlatokon való részvétel csak a különböző nemzetek területén történő áthaladásokkal és határátlépésekkel valósulhat meg. Mindez pedig felveti a befogadó nemzetek jogát, hogy, szuverén államokként ismerhessék a külföldi erők országuk területére történő belépésekor vagy áthaladásakor jelen lévő katonáinak számát, bizonyos adatait, valamint, hogy milyen felszerelést, katonai árukat1 szállítanak be vagy át a befogadó vagy tranzit ország területén. Az ezen mozgások és szállításokellenőrzésére, előjelentésére és engedélyezésére szolgáló rendszereket, folyamatokat, eljárásokat és dokumentumokat már régóta kidolgozták, és a gyakorlatba is bevezették. Erre szolgálnak a nemzeti és európai uniós határforgalmi ellenőrzések és a kimondottanáruforgalom ellenőrzésére bevezetett vámformalitások. Az Európai Unió (EU vagy unió) már a 2010-es évek elején – hasonlatosan a kereskedelmi forgalomban bevezetettfolyamatokhoz –, a katonai árumozgások vámellenőrzését is igyekezett megreformálni. Ez a jogi folyamat újabb lendületet kapott az Észak-atlanti Szerződés Szervezetének(NATO vagy szövetség) 2014-ben Ukrajnát ért orosz agressziót követőcsapatmozgások elősegítésével kapcsolatos akcióinak köszönhetően. A szerzők célja, hogy a katonai vámszakmai területet, annak legújabb kihívásaival együtt mutassák be.

The Digital Age innovations greatly change how people gain information, communicate,work, make decisions, solve problems and even how they spend their spare time.It certainly effects trust relations at workplace between leaders and followers posinggreat challenges for leaders, especially for senior ones who do not belong to the so-callediGeneration, those who were not born into the age of social media, automatization,artificial intelligence, and the jungle of millions of apps. As a result, we can observe awidening generational gap between junior and senior leaders. Nevertheless, how cansenior leaders drive the change in the Digital Age without having the necessary digitalmaturity? What are the implications and challenges for leadership? TransformationalLeadership is proven to be the most effective leadership approach but without mutualtrust, leaders will have no other choice than employ transactional leadershipapproaches which is less effective. Thus, the question how to maintain trustfulrelationship at workplace between trustee and trustor in the world of digitalization israther important. It is even more significant in military where people need to trusteach other with their lives. This paper aims to frame this problem and raise awarenessof this phenomena to initiate further research and discussions on the challenges ofsenior leaders in the Digital Age.
Высшее образование в России: элитное vs элитарное?
Authors: Крыштановская Ольга Викторовна , Лавров Иван Андреевич
Published: August 2023

Образование – это один из фундаментальных факторов вертикальной мобильности. В  связи с этим анализ образовательных траекторий российских политиков представляется необходимым шагом к осмыслению элитогенеза, поскольку от качества подготовки управленцев зависит дальнейшее государственное развитие, а также в значительной мере характер общественного отношения к истэблишменту. В статье операционализируются и сопоставляются элитное образование в России и элитарное – то, которое получала действующая политическая элита. Для определения элитного образования в России были использованы ведущие на 2022 г. зарубежные рэнкинги вузов (THE, ARWU) и российские рейтинги (RAEX, Табитуриент). В случае с выявлением элитарного образования в России мы провели биографический анализ на основе материалов многолетнего мониторинга российской элиты. Были изучены образовательные траектории 885 человек, занимающих руководящие по сты в органах исполнительной, законодательной и судебной власти на 1 января 2023 г. По результатам исследования мы пришли к выводу, что в России элитное образование отнюдь не равно элитарному, и в стране еще не сформировалась устойчивая система университетов, отличающихся первоклассной подготовкой кадров и готовящих будущую элиту. Государство пока предпочитает иные, не меритократические, механизмы воспроизводства правящего класса. К особенностям образовательных стратегий российской политической элиты мы можем причислить, во-первых, неоднородность образовательных траекторий между бюрократией и электократией, что может свидетельствовать о неравноценности исполнительной и законодательной ветвей власти, где первая превалирует, а вторая играет подчиненную роль. Во-вторых, особую важность имеет получение второго высшего образования по специализированным программам подготовки в РАНХиГС при Президенте  РФ, которое становится пропуском на высокие должностные позиции. В-третьих, следует отметить существенную роль военных и специальных вузов и училищ при кооптации в политическую элиту. И, в-четвертых, необходимо учитывать высокую значимость патрон-клиентских отношений, которые формируются уже в университетской среде.
Специфика мировоззрения сторонников западного пути развития для России в массовых слоях населения
Authors: Тихонова Наталья Евгеньевна
Published: August 2023

На данных общероссийского опроса 2022 г. показана специфика последовательных сторонников прозападного курса развития России в сравнении с последовательными противниками данного курса и занимающими промежуточную позицию россиянами. Продемонстрировано, что разное отношение к Западу представителей этих групп является следствием глубинных различий их норм, ценностей, установок и взглядов, а также социально-психологических особенностей. Основой этих различий выступает ориентация либо на приоритет интересов общности (и, соответственно, государства), либо на приоритет индивидуальных интересов и, соответственно, прав человека. Этот конфликт отражает двойственную сущность российской культуры, находящейся на стыке индивидуалистических культур Запада и коллективистских культур Востока. Представителей западников чаще можно встретить в «сильных» социальных группах. Однако даже в самых благополучных возрастных, поселенческих и т.д. группах они составляют меньшинство. Лишь среди молодежи крупных городов, получившей наиболее престижные виды высшего образования и выросшей в семьях, где оба родителя также имели высшее образование, западники составляют большинство. При этом пребывание в чуждой нормативно-ценностной среде заставляет их чувствовать себя чужими в родной стране. В результате они смотрят на окружающий мир пессимистически и массово не доверяют не только структурам власти или гражданского общества, но и окружающим их людям. Убеждение же, что Россия должна следовать своим путем и не ориентироваться на Запад, доминирует во всех массовых социальных группах. Поэтому нормы, ценности и установки наиболее последовательно разделяющей это убеждение группы можно рассматривать как характерную для российской культуры нормативно-ценностную систему. Однако это не означает, что позиция последовательных сторонников для России западного пути развития чужда этой культуре: для оценки места в ней этих двух групп надо учитывать не только их соотношение в массовых слоях населения (7 и 54% соответственно), но и ряд других обстоятельств – от сосуществования их в российском обществе уже не первый век до наличия их членов, хотя и в разной пропорции, во всех слоях и группах российского общества.

Bu çalışmada Mach sayısı 0.85 ve Reynolds sayısı 1.3x107 için zamana bağlı 3 boyutlu kavite akışı ve kavite boyunca anlık basınç salınımlarından kaynaklı oluşan gürültü açık kaynaklı Hesaplamalı Akışkanlar Dinamiği çözücüsü olan OpenFOAM kullanılarak incelenmiştir. Akış alanı modellemesinin gürültü oluşumuna etkisini gözlemlemek için iki farklı akış alanı modellemesi yapılmıştır. Akış alanı modelinin etkisine ek olarak duvar bölgesindeki ağ sıklığı ve ağdaki hücrelerin büyüme oranlarının aeroakustik bulgular üzerindeki etkisi incelenmiştir. Üç boyutlu akış alanının zamana bağlı incelemelerinde, Büyük Burgaç Benzetimi (LES) ve Ayrık Burgaç Benzetimi (DES) olmak üzere iki türbülans modeli kullanılmıştır. LES analizlerinde küçük girdap yapılarını çözmek için Smagorinsky ve WALE olmak üzere iki ağ-altı ölçek modeli kullanılmıştır. DES analizlerinde Spalart-Allmaras tabanlı DDES, IDDES ve SST k-ω tabanlı DES olmak üzere üç model kullanılmıştır. Transonik kavite için hesaplanan sayısal sonuçlar deneysel ve nümerik sonuçlarla hem konum hem frekans uzayında akustik sinyal verisi için karşılaştırılarak doğrulanmıştır. Analizler sonucu elde edilen konum uzayındaki Ortalama Ses Basınç Düzeyi verisi kavite gürültüsüne ait deneysel veri ile benzer davranışı gösterse de 8-10 desibellik bir sapma görülmüştür. Frekans uzayındaki Ses Basınç Düzeyi sonuçlarında ise Rossiter modları belirgin şekilde gözükmektedir ve hem deneysel hem nümerik çalışmaya yakın sonuçlar elde edilmiştir.

Ill-defined and complex problems that affect multiple stakeholders with potentially conflicting perspectives are often referred to as wicked problems. The utilization of collective intelligence (CI) via web-based platforms is a promising approach for addressing such wicked problems. The management of these information systems would benefit from evidence-based decision support regarding facilitation and improvement efforts. However, to date, there is no suitable model to guide such efforts. Existing approaches address specific applications or cover certain assessment areas but do not provide a holistic perspective. Meanwhile, research offers substantial insights into best practices for addressing wicked problems and running CI applications. This paper develops an assessment model comprising five central success dimensions for information systems that address wicked problems. Their subdimensions and associated measurement metrics allow for evidence-driven facilitation and improvement of CI applications for wicked problems. Apart from the model’s capability to improve future runs and processes, it also offers the potential to provide immediate insights for facilitation efforts during runtime. The model was validated with a platform dealing with the assessment of risks presented by global climate change. This evaluation generated strong evidence for the model’s applicability and usefulness.
Traditional family values as an object of interest: private law and public law aspects
Authors: Eliseeva A. A.
Published: August 2023

The article considers traditional family values as an object of legal protection and protection, examines the nature of family relations, and provides approaches to determining the essence of the traditional understanding of the family. On the basis of a systematic analysis of the current legislation, a characterization is given to family legal relations and their regulatory norms, the content and object of family interests are determined; the definition of the traditional values of the Russian family is formulated. In conclusion, it is concluded that the current unstable political and economic situation in the modern world is accompanied for Russia by the emergence of not only new challenges and threats, but also additional opportunities. In particular, it is proposed, when improving family legislation, to take into account traditional family values and be based on Russian historical experience, and not alien, foreign. The study was carried out using the general scientific dialectical, formal-legal method of cognition, as well as the method of inductive and deductive logic.
Legal status of the former spouse
Authors: Osmanova D. O.
Published: August 2023

The article attempts to determine the legal status of the former spouse, that is, the person with whom the marital relationship has been terminated, in the context of various spheres of legal life — property legal relations, family, hereditary, corporate, competitive, etc. Based on the analysis of judicial practice and doctrinal positions in some of the designated areas, key imperfections have been identified that require their solution and normative registration of the legal status of the former spouse, since such uncertainty destabilizes the current turnover. In particular, we are talking about: the extent of the administrative power of the former spouses in relation to conscientious property; the specifics of determining the regime of property received after the dissolution of marriage; the possibilities of the former spouse regarding the acquisition of corporate rights; the consequences of fictitious termination of marital relations and the impact of this behavior on other areas, including in the context of insolvency proceedings (bankruptcy), etc. Such normative detachment, taking into account the spectrum and complexity of the identified problems, leads to the spread of abuses and the violation of the balance of interests of the parties, if necessary, their protection.

Authors: Fazli Maryam , Yazdani Reza , Mohebbi Simin Zahra , Shamshiri Ahmad Reza
Published: August 2023

Objectives: Oral health literacy (OHL) is an interplay of cultural, social and individual factors and plays an effective role in public health promotion. This study aimed to assess OHL and its socioeconomic and demographic determinants among young couples.
Materials and Methods: This analytical cross-sectional study was conducted on 828 adults between 15 to 35 years in 2018 in Zanjan city. Data regarding their OHL were collected by using a 17-item Oral Health Literacy-Adult Questionnaire (OHL-AQ) that was filled out by a combination of self-report and interview. OHL was categorized as adequate, marginal, and inadequate. The effects of age and gender as demographic variables, and floor area per person as a proxy of financial status on OHL were also assessed. Data were analyzed using the linear and multinomial logistic regression models.
Results: The mean OHL score was 7.86±3.83 out of 17 in equal number of males and females. Only 21% of the couples had adequate OHL. The socioeconomic, but not demographic variables had significant correlations with the qualitative and quantitative variables of OHL even after controlling for the effect of confounders. A correlation was particularly found between inadequate OHL and years of education [odds ratio:6.00; 95% CI: 3.86-9.28); P<0.001].
Conclusion: Socioeconomic factors had independent correlations with inadequate OHL. Participants with higher levels of education, those living in urban areas, and individuals with better financial status had higher levels of OHL and lower odds of inadequate OHL.
Determinants of Out-of-Pocket Health Expenditure and Catastrophic Health Spending among Households with Elderly Individuals in Iran: An Application of the Heckman Model to Control Sample Selection

Published: August 2023

Introduction: Universal health coverage is a critical goal for low- and middle-income countries, with equitable access to healthcare services being essential to achieving this objective. With the elderly population requiring greater healthcare services, it is crucial to plan for their healthcare needs. This study aims to evaluate the determinants of out-of-pocket payment (OOP) and catastrophic healthcare expenditure among households with elderly individuals in Iran.
Methods: This study analyzed the 2018 Household Income-Expenditure Survey in Iran to examine the socio-economic factors affecting OOP (per purchasing power parity International Doller – PPP. Int $) and catastrophic healthcare expenditure in households with elderly members. Using survey probit regression model with Heckman selection, the study identified determinants of OOP and catastrophic healthcare expenditures. A survey probit regression model with Heckman selection has been applied to identify the determinants of out-of-pocket (OOP) and catastrophic healthcare expenditures. The approach allowed for the examination of variables that may have impacted the likelihood of incurring OOP and catastrophic healthcare expenditures, while accounting for potential selection bias.
Results: Rural households (with difference 60.78 PPP. Int$) and non-owning homes (with difference 98.83 PPP.Int$) had higher OOP than their urban and owning counterparts, respectively. Larger households also had higher OOP, with those with five or more members having the highest. High-income households also had higher OOP. Additionally, smaller households had a lower chance of facing catastrophic healthcare expenses. Lastly, the Mills ratio was negative.
Conclusion: Our study reveals insufficient observed out-of-pocket (OOP) payments for healthcare in Iran to cover the "needed" OOP, indicating a possible financial burden on households. This highlights the need to address inequalities in healthcare access and expenditure for households with elderly individuals, particularly in rural areas and larger households. Policymakers should implement targeted interventions to reduce OOP for these vulnerable groups. Future research should include socio-economic factors that affect access to healthcare services.
Appropriateness of Proton Pump Inhibitor Use in Hospitalized Patients: A Cross Sectional Study in a Tertiary Care Hospital in North India
Authors: Juneja Shivani , Rana Proteesh , Manoj Sreehari V , Kalia Rohit , Singh Ratinder Pal
Published: August 2023

Background: Proton Pump Inhibitors (PPIs) are often prescribed inappropriately among hospitalized patients and same is often continued even after their discharge from the hospital. The inappropriate use of PPIs leads to an increased risk of adverse effects, drug interaction, and unnecessary hospital expenditure for such patients. Aim of this study was to determine the appropriateness of PPIs use among hospitalized patients.
Methods: A cross sectional observational study was conducted on hospitalized patients in a tertiary care hospital in Northern India. The clinical records of adult patients hospitalized during April- May 2022 were assessed for the prescribing pattern and appropriateness of PPI use as per the National Institute of Health and Care Excellence (NICE) guidelines.
Results: A total of 192 patient’s records were included in this study with the mean age 57 years and 61% of the study participants were males. Overall, 72% (138) of the study participants were prescribed PPIs by intravenous route and only in 28% (54) cases an oral route was preferred. Pantoprazole was the most commonly prescribed PPI in 112 (58%) patients and it was administered by intravenous route among 87 patients (78%) and by oral route in 25 (22%) patients. PPI use was appropriate in 54% of the cases and they were most commonly prescribed for ulcer prophylaxis. This study identified higher use of PPIs was seen in low risk patients for longer duration than indicated.
Conclusion: PPIs are being prescribed inappropriately among hospitalized patient unrelated to their widely accepted clinical indications and are often continued unnecessarily once patient is discharged. These results suggest the need of regular audits on use of PPIs clubbed with educational initiatives to promote rational use of PPIs among hospitalized patients.

Published: August 2023

Background: The availability of energy drinks on the global market result from intensive marketing campaigns in the media. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the consumption of energy drink and its potential effect on sleep patterns of consumers.
Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional design with self-administered questionnaire was used for this survey. An online survey using google forms was created for the validated questionnaires after pre-testing and the link shared on different social media platforms. Period of data collection lasted between January and September, 2020.
Results: A total of 384 participants were involved in this study. From the study, prevalence of energy drink consumption in the metropolis is 61.5% (n=236). A percentage of 69.1 % (n=163) of the consumers are males relative to 30.9% (n=73) who are females. Results from the study indicate that most patronized energy drink in the metropolis has energy value per 100 ml of 158 kJ with no proteins and fats but an 8.9 g of carbohydrate. The caffeine content of this energy drink is 0.012% and 13% glucose syrup. A total of 29.6% (n=70) of energy drink consumers indicated it to be their preference. Least consumed energy drink (0.85%) has 30-35 mg/100 ml of caffeine with about 192 kJ energy value. Furthermore, results point out that 70.8% (n=167) of the consumers experienced change in sleep pattern. Although other factors may have caused this change in sleep pattern, Pearson Chi-Square result (x2 = 83.277, p≤0.01) reveals that indeed there is association between energy drink consumption and change in sleep pattern as majority of energy drink consumers indicated that they usually experience changes in wake-up time and/or bedtime.
Conclusion: The study has demonstrated that majority of the youth in the Kumasi Metropolis consume energy drinks which ultimately causes change in their sleep pattern. This change can alter their daily activities and health status.

Published: August 2023

Thalidomide was widely used to avoid morning sickness in pregnant women, but was recalled due to its teratogenic effects and malformations in thousands of children. However, potential beneficial effects such as anti-inflammatory, system regulatory activities and the anti-angiogenic effect of thalidomide have been reported. As the studies about thalidomide continued, its new effects and applications made researchers more interested in it and became a promising agent in the treatment of a variety of clinical situations where standard treatments have failed. To make this purpose more achievable, Scopus, Science Direct, Google Scholar, and PubMed were searched. After obtaining and reviewing articles related to thalidomide and its indications, different therapeutic uses of thalidomide for pulmonary diseases are classified on mechanisms. In recent years, thalidomide has been an effective agent in treating cough associated with pulmonary fibrosis and the main suggested mechanism refers to regulation production of inflammatory mediators, including cytokines and chemokines, which trigger Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition (EMT). The mechanism of EMT is related to the inhibition of Transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β1)-mediated signaling pathways, Smad2 (Suppressor of Mothers against decapentaplegic homolog 2) / 3, Akt / Glycogen synthase kinase 3 beta (GSK-3β), and Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK). Thalidomide is also involved in paraquat-induced and bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis. Also, Thalidomide gained attention as a suitable agent for the treatment of cough associated with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and for severe pulmonary damage cause by severe acute respiratory syndrome, coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), responsible for the global pandemic in 2020, due to its anti-inflammatory-anti-angiogenesis and pro-apoptotic properties.

Authors: Deolekar Pradnya , Dongerkery Kavitha , Yadav Pramila , Sonawane Jyoti
Published: August 2023

Introduction: Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) effectively suppress acid secretion and play an essential role in peptic ulcer disease and gastroesophageal reflux disease. There is a genuine concern about overutilizing PPIs, leading to significantly high costs and undesirable outcomes. An increase in the patient medication cost was associated with decreased adherence to prescription medication. Hence, this study assessed the cost variation of proton pump inhibitors (PPI) drugs.
Methods: The cost of different brands of commonly used PPIs was sorted out by referring latest “Monthly Index of Medical Specialties” October – December 2021, and 1mg online pharmacy. The cost of 10 dosage forms (Tablets/capsules) in INR of each brand, Cost Ratio, and Percentage Cost Variation for individual drug brands was calculated in the case of an oral drug, and the cost of one vial or ampoule was noted in the case of injectable drug. At last, the cost ratio and percentage cost variation of various brands was compared.
Results: The data analysis showed a significant variation in the costs of different brands of proton pump inhibitors available In the Indian market. Percentage variation in cost for oral preparations of proton pump inhibitors marketed in India was found to be tablet/capsule Rabeprazole 20mg (1540%), Omeprazole 20 mg(718.18%), Pantoprazole 40mg (504.16%), Esomeprazole 20mg (173.68%), Lansoprazole 15 mg (84.90 %), Omeprazole 40 mg (60.34%) and with injectable preparations IVR abeprazole 20mg (1090.90%), Omeprazole 40 mg (347.36%), Esomeprazole 40mg (216.66%), Pantoprazole 20mg (164.44 %), Pantoprazole 40mg (51.16%).
Conclusion: There is a wide variation in the prices of proton pump inhibitors available in the market. Regulatory authorities, pharma companies, and physicians should maximize their efforts to reduce the cost of drugsThe need to search for reliable process indicators for the effectiveness of anti-diabetic therapy has been expressed in the literature. Process indicators have been described as essential processes that contribute to achieving outcomes

Introduction: The most common occupational diseases are musculoskeletal disorders that happen with improper body posture while performing job duties. The present study aimed to determine the prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders and evaluate the physical condition of hospital employees using REBA and ROSA methods.
Materials and methods: This descriptive-analytical study was conducted on 125 employees of Dezful teaching hospital, selected by stratified random sampling method. Musculoskeletal disorders were assessed using the Nordic questionnaire, and Rapid Entire Body Assessment (REBA)، and Rapid Office Strain Assessment (ROSA) methods were used to assess physical condition. The normality of the data was checked using Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. Statistical analysis was done with SPSS version 23 software.
Results: The average age and work experience were 36.49±8.26 and 7.33±11.8 years, respectively. The highest prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders was related to the neck (47.7%) and wrist (40.4%), and the lowest was the elbow (7.8%). According to the REBA score, 18.3% of posture workers needed immediate corrections, and 37.8% needed corrections as soon as possible. According to the ROSA score, in 75.8% of the tasks, the work environment should be re-evaluated. There was a significant relationship (P-value<0.05) between wrist, shoulder, and neck disorders with gender, height, age, work history, and posture.
Conclusion: Considering the prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders and the high level of risk among employees, it is recommended to modify the workstation and train employees.

Authors: YAŞA İbrahim Can
Published: August 2023

Objective: In this study, it was investigated the effects of intensive aphasia treatment applied to individuals with non-fluent aphasia.
Methods: Sixteen patients diagnosed with non-fluent aphasia were included in the study and were randomly divided into two groups. The therapy interventions were one day per week for the eight patients in the first group, for a total of 8 hours in 2 months (standard intervention). For the eight patients in the second group, therapy was applied for a total of 48 hours in 2 months, for one hour per day, six days a week, excluding Sundays (intensive intervention). Participants were tested using the Turkish aphasia test (ADD), Aphasia Impact Scale-21 (AIQ-21), and Boston Naming Test (BNT) before starting the treatment (pretest), after the treatment (posttest), and one month after the treatment ended (follow-up).
Results: At the end of the treatments, a significant increase in ADD and BNT scores and a significant decrease in AIQ-21 scores were observed in both groups. Although there was a change in the follow-up test, the scores were still significantly different than the pretest scores. The rate of improvement in test scores of group II patients who received intensive aphasia treatment was superior to the group I patients.
Conclusion: Intensive application was superior to once-weekly aphasia treatment, and post-treatment improvement continued for at least one month after the treatments.

The research utilized various measurement tools, such as the Demographic Information Form (DIF), Multidimensional Parental Perfectionism Questionnaire (MPPQ), Parent-Child Relationship Scale (PCRS), Me as a Parent Scale (MPS), and Alabama Parenting Questionnaire (APQ). The experimental group's pre-test and post-test scores showed significant differences for all dimensions, indicating that the program was an effective intervention. When comparing the experimental, placebo, and control group post-test scores, significant differences were found in three sub-dimensions of parental perfectionism, all dimensions of parent-child relationship, and positive parenting score. Further analysis revealed that all significant differences favored the experimental group. This finding shows that the program is an effective application for parents with children between the ages of 2-9. Finally, the post-test scores of the positive parenting dimension also differed significantly according to the experimental group pre-test scores and the control group post-test scores, confirming the hypothesis of the study and highlighting the effectiveness of the program in developing positive parenting practices.

Online teaching has become an inevitable trend in education as technology and engineering advance. It is necessary to train and foster online teaching competence for lecturers at higher education institutions. This article uses the literature review and the theoretical method to analyze the existing proposals on models and frameworks of online teaching competency by many different authors worldwide. Based on the discovery of the commonalities and gaps between these perspectives combined with analyzing the characteristics of online teaching at the university level, the article proposes a framework of online teaching competencies for the higher education faculty along with relevant knowledge related to these competencies. This framework includes eight competencies with specific performance criteria. This article also builds a process for training online teaching competence for lecturers at higher education institutions. According to the PDCA deeming cycle, this process consists of three stages: planning, implementation and improvement to support lecturers in adapting to the virtual teaching environment.

Published: August 2023

A growing number of clinical data suggests that the use of antiplatelets and/or statins pre-stroke are associated with reduced severity and better functional outcomes for ischemic stroke. Studies have shown that the long-term use of ACEI/ARB pre-stroke is beneficial in reducing severity at onset and improving functional outcomes. We aimed to compare stroke severity and early functional outcome between patients taking ACEI/ARB and those who were not, and to identify any additional effects to taking ACEI/ARB with antiplatelets, statins, or both.

In this retrospective case-control study, we assessed 218 patients who presented with ischemic stroke to the stroke unit in Padeh-Poriyah Hospital between 2019-2020. Of these patients, 119 took ACEI/ARB pre-stroke. A significantly higher percentage of ACEI/ARB-treated patients had a history of hypertension (HTN) and hyperlipidemia and were taking antiplatelets and/or statins, compared to the non-ACEI/ARB group. We observed that pre-stroke treatment with ACEI/ARB is associated with worsened stroke severity and reduced early functional outcomes.

No significant benefit to taking ACEI/ARB with antiplatelets and/or statins pre-stroke was observed. Due to the nature of our study, the data should be interpreted as suggestive. Thus, prospective studies of these medications on ischemic stroke severity and early outcomes are warranted.

Authors:   , Peláez Gonzále Estéfani
Published: August 2023

El bruxismo del sueño, es una actividad del músculo masticatorio durante el sueño que se caracteriza por ser rítmica o no rítmica y no debe ser considerada un trastorno del sueño o movimiento por sí sola. Cuando no está asociado a algún desorden debe ser considerado un comportamiento con etiología multifactorial. El bruxismo del sueño es más prevalente en niños. Su prevalencia es muy variable y fluctúa de 3.5–40.6% o 5.9% - 49,6%, y no tiene una etiología determinada. Actualmente, el bruxismo es un tópico que genera gran interés en la comunidad odontológica, debido a que está relacionado a diversas alteraciones y ha sido asociado a diversos factores de riesgo, por lo tanto, el objetivo de esta revisión fue determinar los factores estudiados más frecuentes para promover un diagnóstico más preciso y la correcta entrevista al paciente mediante la revisión de artículos originales de los últimos 10 años. Encontrando como factores de riesgo aspectos, psicológicos, genéticos, sociodemográficos, respiratorios y del sueño como los más mencionados en la literatura.

Objectives
To evaluate the 10 years overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) of 1340 Her-2 low breast cancer patients
Methods
From May 14th, 2010 to October 26th, 2019, 1874 breast cancer patients received surgery in our department, of which 1340 were diagnosed with Her-2 low expression by pathology. The patients were divided into 3 groups as Her-2 (0), Her-2 (1+), and Her-2 (2+) FISH (-) groups. Retrospective survival analysis and multivariate Cox proportional regression were performed to evaluate the overall survival (OS), disease-free survival (DFS), and risk factors of each group.
Results
Of the 1340 patients, 219 were in Her-2(0) (16.3%), 445 in Her-2 (1+) (33.2%), and 676 in Her-2 (2+) FISH (-) (50.4%) group. The mean follow-up times of the 3 groups were 30 months, 43 months, and 33 months, respectively, with the overall mean follow-up time 36 months. In hormone receptor positive (HR+) patients, both Her-2(0) (10-year DFS, 88.6%) and Her-2(1+) (10-year DFS, 62.1%) group had better 10-year disease-free survival(DFS)than Her-2(2+) FISH(-) group (10-year DFS 45.0%) [Her-2(0) vs. Her-2(2+) FISH(-), p = 0.0045; Her-2(1+) vs. Her-2(2+) FISH(-), p = 0.0195]. While no difference was seen between Her-2(0) and Her-2(1+) group (p = 0.0971) in DFS. Multivariate Cox proportional regression indicated Her-2 status was independent risk factor for worse 10-year DFS both in HR (+) patients [p = 0.009, HR = 2.523, 95%HR (0.979, 6.505)] and in the whole study population [p = 0.023, HR = 1.852, 95%HR (1.088, 3.153)].
Conclusion
In HR (+) breast cancers, Her-2(0) and Her-2(1+) patients have better 10-year DFS than Her-2(2+) FISH (-) patients. Her-2 (2+) FISH (-) is associated with worse 10-year DFS both in HR (+) patients and in the whole study population.
On algebraic systems
Authors: Sun Licong , Yue Yueli
Published: August 2023

The objective of this paper is to propose a generalization of algebraic closure space, namely algebraic system, and discuss its related properties. Firstly, we prove that the category of S0-algebraic systems is an epireflective subcategory of the category of algebraic systems. Then we show that the Sierpinski algebraic system (2; S) is a Sierpinski object in the category of algebraic systems and is concurrently an injective object in the category of S0-algebraic systems. Finally, we also demonstrate that the opposite category of continuous lattices is a reflective subcategory of the category of algebraic systems.
Three-Dimensional Finite Element Modeling of Double-Twisted Hexagonal Mesh
Authors: Li Liyun , Wu Haohan , Li Lei
Published: August 2023

The mesh structure based on double-twisted hexagonal grids is an important part of reinforced gabion structures. Due to challenges in sensor placement during physical experimentation on complex gabion mesh mechanical properties, numerical simulation serves as a valuable means of study, with accurate numerical grids being integral to obtaining reasonable results. This article proposes a novel approach for constructing a numerical model that incorporates unique geometric features. The approach categorizes mesh wire types into three groups based on their geometric structure and presents a relational equation governing the motion of a single wire axis during manufacturing. Secondly, A three-dimensional finite element model of a double-twisted hexagonal mesh was constructed using ABAQUS software to simulate a quasi-static uniaxial tensile experiment. Finally, the proposed approach was validated by comparing its numerical and experimental results, supporting its rationality. Additionally, it addresses the limited availability of three-dimensional numerical models for gabion meshes, thereby offering potential for further research on the mechanical properties of gabion structures under complex working conditions.

Flooding during or after droughts poses significant challenges to disaster risk management. However, interactions between droughts and floods are often overlooked by studying these events individually, with potential under- or overestimation of flood risk. Here we analyse global datasets of hydrometeorological and biophysical variables for 8255 catchments worldwide, showing that more than 20% of floods globally are preceded by, or happen during, drought conditions. In most cases, these compound or consecutive events do not strongly affect flood timing. However, almost a quarter of drought-flood events exhibits a substantially altered flood timing, with a majority (80%) occurring later than expected. These shifts in flood timing suggest potential effects of drought processes on flood generation processes. As both drought and flood occurrences are projected to increase in a warming climate, interactions between them need to be accounted for in flood risk assessment and management.
