Within the framework of this article, various scientific views on the role of innovations in the activation of innovative activities of enterprises and the study of theoretical aspects of the formation of the economic category "innovative potential of the enterprise" analyzed. It has established that innovative potential is one of the key categories of innovative entrepreneurship theory. It recommended considering innovative potential as a complex system of effective use of enterprise resources and a set of intellectual capabilities of its employees, necessary for the creation, implementation and distribution of new ideas, technologies and products, which will contribute to obtaining the desired profits in the long term. It established that the basis of the innovative potential is the various resources of the enterprise (material and immaterial), which can be used in innovative activities. However, the effective operation of the enterprise occurs under the condition of the interaction of the intellectual capabilities of the enterprise's employees with its resources. The subjective conditions for the application and transformation of resources are the abilities of the company's employees, necessary for the implementation of innovative activities, the objective conditions are the processes of attracting and processing resources to realize the abilities of the employees and the economic capabilities of the company in the innovative sphere. In such conditions, innovations are embodied in the specific goods (services) of the enterprise, which are able to satisfy the demand on the market, taking into account the demand supported by the purchasing power. It established that the innovative potential of the enterprise is a complex system with a certain internal structure and characteristics. The proposed structure of innovation potential, which takes into account the resource component, the internal component and the effective component.

Published: January 2023

The current research aimed to explore, understand and describe the subjective experiences of synesthesia among six self-reported synesthete siblings. For this purpose, we conducted one quantitative and one qualitative study. The first study aimed to measure whether six siblings actually had synesthesia experiences. Six synesthete siblings and their eighteen non-synesthete peers participated in Study 1. First, participants filled out the Eagleman Synesthesia Test Battery - Synesthesia Type Scale. Then, we asked the participants to match some words we randomly selected from the Turkish dictionary with colors on a color scale. Both cross-sectional and longitudinal comparisons showed that six siblings statistically and consistently matched words with specific colors compared to their non-synesthete peers, and these colors hardly changed over time. In study 2, we interviewed these siblings and aimed to investigate their synesthetic experiences using an interpretative phenomenological analysis approach. We verbatim transcribed the interviews, and the results showed that three main themes emerged, which were: (1) The nature of the synesthesia experience; (2) Aspects of the synesthesia experience; (3) Time and experience: It may change inter and intraparticipant. We discussed the findings in the context of the persistence and changeability of the synesthetic experience and the uniqueness seen among siblings, even when raised in a similar environment.

Published: January 2023

Bu çalışmada şema modlarının, ebeveynlik biçimleri ve depresyon arasındaki ilişkide aracı rolü yapısal eşitlik modellemesi kullanılarak sınanmıştır. Araştırmada klinik (N = 629, %71.1 kadın, %28.9 erkek; Ortyaş = 39.22) ve klinik olmayan yetişkin örneklemler (N = 589, %79.9 kadın, %20.1 erkek, Ortyaş = 28.25) kullanılmıştır. Bulgulara göre şema modları, klinik ve klinik olmayan örneklemlerdeki anne ve baba ebeveynlik biçimleri ile depresyon ilişkisine tümden aracılık etmektedir. İki örneklemin ölçme modelleri karşılaştırıldığında, anne ve baba ebeveynlik biçimleri, şema modları ve depresyon değişkenlerine ait ilişkilerin pozitif yönde ve anlamlı olduğu değerlendirilmiştir. İki örneklemin yapısal modellerinde ise baba ebeveynlik biçimleri ile şema modları arasındaki ilişkinin, anne ebeveynlik biçimleri ile şema modlarına kıyasla daha fazla kuvvetli olduğu görülmüştür. İki örneklem arasındaki farklı sonuçlara bakıldığında ise ölçme modellerinde klinik örneklemde anne ebeveynlik biçimleri depresyon ilişkisi düşük düzeydeyken klinik olmayan örneklemde orta düzeydedir. Ayrıca klinik örneklemde baba ebeveynlik biçimleri depresyon ilişkisi orta düzey, anne ebeveynlik biçimleriyle depresyon ilişkisinin düşük düzey olduğu görülmüştür. Bu çalışmada ulaşılan sonuçlar, depresyon tedavisinde ebeveynlik biçimlerinin göz önünde bulundurulduğu şema mod terapisinin yararlı olacağını düşündürmektedir.
Volumetric extent of resection and survival for recurrent atypical meningioma
Authors: Przybylowski Colin J. , Suki Dima , Raza Shaan M. , DeMonte Franco
Published: January 2023

OBJECTIVE

In recurrent atypical meningioma, the survival impact of volumetric extent of resection (vEOR) and residual tumor volume (RTV) has not been previously studied.

METHODS

The authors performed a retrospective vEOR analysis of patients with recurrent World Health Organization grade II meningiomas treated with reresection from 2000 to 2019. The Kaplan-Meier method and multivariate Cox regression analysis were used to study progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS).

RESULTS

Fifty-nine patients with a median follow-up duration of 95 (95% CI 42–148) months were included. The median (range) vEOR was 100% (32%–100%) and the mean ± SD was 90.7% ± 15.3%. Among patients who underwent gross-total resection (GTR) (n = 32 [54%]), Simpson grade I and II resections were achieved in 23 (72%) and 9 (28%) patients, respectively. Among patients who underwent subtotal resection (n = 27 [46%]), the median (range) RTV was 4.3 (0.3–40) cm3. The 1-, 2-, and 5-year actuarial PFS rates for the cohort were 76%, 56%, and 34%, respectively. The 1-, 2-, and 5-year actuarial OS rates for the cohort were 98%, 78%, and 60%, respectively. Variables reflecting EOR significantly impacted both PFS and OS in multivariate analysis: GTR (p < 0.01) was significantly associated with longer PFS, and lower Simpson grade (p = 0.04) was significantly associated with longer OS. Additional factors including RTV, Ki-67 index, and pretreatment and posttreatment history also impacted survival outcomes (p < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONS

EOR and Simpson grade were independently associated with survival outcomes in patients with recurrent atypical meningioma. These findings support the practice of thorough reresection for maximal cytoreduction in appropriate surgical candidates.
Comparison of the Contour Neurovascular System and Woven EndoBridge device for treatment of wide-necked cerebral aneurysms at a bifurcation or sidewall

Published: January 2023

OBJECTIVE

The authors compared the Contour Neurovascular System (Contour) with the Woven EndoBridge (WEB) device for the treatment of wide-necked cerebral aneurysms at a bifurcation or sidewall.

METHODS

Prospective clinical and radiological data were collected for all patients treated with either the Contour or WEB at a tertiary university hospital from May 2018 to June 2022.

RESULTS

In patients who had at least 3 months of follow-up data available (median patient age 60.0 [IQR 51.8–67.0] years, male/female ratio 1:1.4), the authors compared 40 aneurysms in 34 patients treated with the Contour and 30 aneurysms in 30 patients treated with the WEB. Overall, 26 middle cerebral artery, 24 anterior communicating artery, 9 basilar artery tip, 4 posterior communicating artery, 4 internal carotid artery, 1 anterior cerebral artery, 1 posterior inferior cerebellar artery, and 1 superior cerebellar artery aneurysm were treated. In the Contour cohort, complete occlusion at last follow-up was achieved for 30 aneurysms (75%) and a small neck remnant was seen in 6 aneurysms (15%), summing up to an adequate occlusion rate of 90%. One aneurysm (2.5%) had to be retreated, and 1 symptomatic thromboembolic event (2.5%) was observed with complete remission at discharge. Three adjunctive stents (10%) had to be used due to branch occlusion. In the WEB cohort, adequate occlusion was also seen in 90% of aneurysms (complete occlusion in 19 [63.3%] and remnant neck in 8 [26.7%], with a retreatment rate of 20%). Four WEBs (13.3%) needed additional stent placement due to device protrusion into a branch, 2 asymptomatic thromboembolic events (6.7%) were noted, and 1 major ischemic event (3.3%) due to M2 occlusion was noted. One patient treated with the WEB died between follow-ups of causes unrelated to the aneurysm, treatment, or device. Time from first measurement to deployment and thus total treatment time was significantly shorter in the Contour group (p = 0.004), regardless of whether a prior angiogram was available for aneurysm measurement and device sizing.

CONCLUSIONS

Results for the Contour were promising, although longer follow-up is necessary to draw more solid conclusions on the utility and risk profile of this new device compared with the already widely used WEB device. Adequate occlusion at last follow-up was the same for both devices, whereas the probability of complete occlusion at last follow-up was significantly higher for the Contour, and the WEB showed a significantly higher retreatment rate. Median deployment times were significantly shorter with the Contour than the WEB.
The Kanarra fold-thrust structure—the leading edge of the Sevier fold-thrust belt, southwestern Utah:
Authors: Chandonia William , Hogan John
Published: January 2023

The multiple origins proposed for the Kanarra anticline in southwestern Utah as a drag-fold along the Hurricane fault, a Laramide monocline, a Sevier fault-propagation fold, or a combination of these processes, serve to muddy its tectonic significance. This in part reflects the structural complexity of the exposed eastern half of the fold. The fold evolved from open and up-right to overturned and tight, is cross-cut by multiple faults, and was subsequently dismembered by the Hurricane fault. The western half of the fold is obscured because of burial, along with the hanging wall of the Hurricane fault, beneath Neogene and younger sediments and volcanics. We present the results of detailed bedrock geologic mapping, and geologic cross sections restored to Late Cretaceous time (prior to Basin and Range extension), to demonstrate the Kanarra anticline is a compound anticline-syncline pair inextricably linked with concomitant thrust faulting that formed during the Sevier orogeny. We propose the name Kanarra fold-thrust structure to unambiguously identify the close spatial and temporal association of folding and thrusting in formation of this prominent geologic feature. We identify a previously unrecognized thrust, the Red Rock Trail thrust, as a forelimb shear thrust that was in a favorable orientation and position to have been soft-linked, and locally hard-linked, with the thrust ramp of the basal detachment to form a break thrust. The east verging Red Rock Trail thrust is recognized by a distinctive cataclasite in the Lower Jurassic Navajo Sandstone. The hanging wall of the Red Rock Trail thrust is displaced eastward over the Middle Jurassic Carmel Formation and Upper Cretaceous formations and can be traced for at least 27 km and possibly farther. We contend the Kanarra fold-thrust structure unambiguously defines the leading edge of the Sevier fold-thrust beltin southwestern Utah. Stratigraphic relationships in the southern and northern part of the Kanarra fold-thrust structure constrain its development between the early and late Campanian (about 84 to 71 Ma) but possibly younger. In southwestern Utah, initial movement along the Iron Springs thrust at about 100 Ma (Quick and others, 2020) and subsequent eastward advancement of the Sevier deformation front to the Red Rock Trail thrust at about 84 to 71 Ma coincided with well-documented magmatic flare ups in the Cordilleran arc in the hinterland of the Sevier fold-thrust belt. This temporal relationship between magmatic flare ups and thrusting is consistent with a close correspondence between arc-related processes and episodic foreland deformation.
Having the Father and the Son – the Structure, Main Theological Idea and Hermeneutical Principle of the Second Epistle of John
Authors: Wojciechowska Kalina , Rosik Mariusz
Published: January 2023

The Second Epistle of John is one of the least commented on New Testament writings, with the vast majority of existing commentaries being linear. The authors of this article attempted to take a structural view of this short book. After discussing the structures of the letter proposed by scholars (part one), they proposed their own structure of the book, thanks to which the main theological idea of the letter (2 John 9) (part two) could be determined, along with a hermeneutical principle allowing for new interpretative insights into the book as a whole (part three). This principle can be put into the words: “having the Father and the Son.”

Evaluating Emotional Factors in the Criminal Procedure
Authors: Kowalczyk-Ludzia Marta
Published: January 2023

The minor role of emotional factors in the criminal procedure is wrongly taken for granted. Emotional behaviour, usually perceived as a manifestation of weakness, is juxtaposed with the rational behaviour desired in the criminal procedure. Meanwhile, non-verbal communication often provides a lot of important information that supplements the evidence collected in a given case. The impulse for the deliberations was an analysis of court files of cases in which proper evaluation of the level of emotional engagement of the parties helped the judges make the right decisions. The object and purpose of this paper is to find an answer to the question of the actual value of emotional cognitive processes and their impact on proceedings.

Ever since the Act became effective (on 15 November 1998), people who wish to marry have been able to enter into civil marriage (Article 1(1) FGC), or to marry under state law in the course of contracting marriage under the internal law of a church or another religious organisation (currently such possibility exists for eleven churches and religious organisations). The article analyses the individual conditions of entering into marriage pursuant to Article 1(2) FGC. It discusses the following issues: the moment when the declarations of will to simultaneously contract marriage under Polish law should be made, the concept of the priest and the impact of the deficiency of religious marriage on marriage under state law. Particular doubts have been raised in family law doctrine with regard to the legal nature of the marriage certificate being issued by the head of the register office. The article lists arguments in favour of the prevailing view, according to which issuing the marriage certificate is of constitutive nature and its absence results in the invalidity of marriage under Polish law. In addition, the text presents the view that the simultaneous presence of the bride and groom when making the required declarations for entering into religious marriage is not a condition stipulated in Article 1 FGC, but may possibly result from the internal regulations of the church or other religious organisation.

Surrogate motherhood, known also as surrogacy, is a kind of civil law contract according to which one party – surrogate mother is obliged to bear a pregnancy and after giving a birth transfer all rights concerning a child to commissioning party. There are two basic types of surrogacy, of which gestational surrogacy has recently become more popular. By concluding gestational surrogacy agreement commissioning party oblige itself to provide an embryo no matter of its source, while surrogate mother is bonded only to bear pregnancy. The second type of surrogacy agreement, often called traditional, encompasses also surrogates obligation to provide an egg, due to this fact, as the egg donor, surrogate mother becomes also a genetic mother. Surrogacy is connected to a variety of serious legal problems among others: deciding whether this kind of contract should be legal or banned and resolving an issue of a legal status of a new born child, by answering the question who is its legal parent. The paper comments a number of recent judgements given by European Court of Human Rights in the field of surrogacy. All the cases concerned question of international surrogacy, so the particular problems that were adjudicated regard the problem of recognising a foreign act of birth (Menneson v. France), giving permission to a child arrival to the intended parents country (D. and others v. Belgium) or factual separation of the child and the intended parents (Paradiso and Campanelli v. Italy). Applicants in the aforementioned cases claimed that states actions regarding surrogacy were opposite to the article 8 of European Convention on Human Rights, especially the right to respect private and family life. European Court of Human Rights has not been settling a dispute in which intended parents refused to take care of the child, what could be a real test to Strasbourg`s view on the commented problem.

The Family and Guardianship Code (FGC) in Article 100 guarantees that parents should receive assistance from courts and other public authorities in proper exercise of their parental authority over the child. The aim of the assistance provided by courts and public authorities is to remove obstacles that prevent parents from exercising their authority or render it difficult. The conception of subsidiary role of the guardianship court was rooted in the particular socio-political conditions prevailing during the work on Code adopted in 1964. At the same time, we have to admit that it was innovative in the context of provisions of the Convention on the Rights of the Child, which Poland ratified in 1990, and the Constitution of the Republic of Poland, which was adopted in 1997. The request for ‘subsidiarity’ of the guardianship court is still valid, especially in times when the family is perceived to be in crisis and considering the disquieting news about inadequate or incompetent care and upbringing of children. This is why currently a guardianship court often in practice acts as a coordinator of measures in the field of support, assistance or intervention with respect to the child and his/her family. The quantitative and qualitative research conducted in 2017 at the Institute of Justice had the aim of checking the court practice in the area of implementation of the principle of subsidiarity by the guardianship courts, identifying any barriers in this regard, and suggesting the possible solutions to improve the efficiency of applying Article 100(2) FGC.

Detecting carbon emissions is the key to carbon peaking and carbon neutrality goals. Existing research has focused on utilizing data-driven method to study carbon emissions off a single object. This study proposes a regional carbon emissions prediction method. The area objects are divided into dynamic objects for vehicles and static objects for buildings. For the dynamic object, carbon emissions is modeled using the vehicle location provided by the BeiDou satellite navigation system (BDS). For the static object, the neural network R3det (rotation remote sensing target detection) is used to identify the buildings in remote sensing images, and then the trained ARIMA time series model is used to predict the carbon emissions. The model is tested in an industrial park in Tangshan, Hebei Province in China. The result of the regional three-dimensional emission map shows that the method provided a novel and feasible idea for carbon emissions prediction.

BACKGROUND: Human adipose-derived stem cells have been identified as a promising candidate for cell-assisted therapy to improve graft survival. OBJECTIVE: To objective of the study was to add human adipose-derived stem cells into filling materials. METHODS: The filling materials were prepared and divided into 6 groups: fat particles with phosphate buffer saline or human adipose-derived stem cells; acellular dermal matrix particles with phosphate buffer saline or human adipose-derived stem cells; mixture of fat particles and acellular dermal matrix particles with phosphate buffer saline or human adipose-derived stem cells. The survival rate, vascular density and histological at 2, 6 and 12 weeks were investigated. RESULTS: Human adipose-derived stem cells significantly improved survival rate in each group at 6 and 12 weeks, and it significantly increased the vascular density in the fat particles and porcine acellular dermal matrix combined group and porcine acellular dermal matrix group at three time points, but human adipose-derived stem cells did not have a significant effect in the fat particles group. CONCLUSION: Human adipose-derived stem cells as assisted cells added into filling material can improve survival rate and vascular density in rats.

Background: Alzheimer’s disease (AD) disturbs many patients and family. However, little progress has been made in finding effective treatments. Given AD is a multifactorial disease, luteolin and exercise combination therapy may be more effective than monotherapy. Objective: To explore the therapeutic effect and underlying mechanisms of luteolin and exercise combination therapy in AD treatment. Methods: This study utilized a validated mouse model of AD by bilateral injection of amyloid-β (Aβ)1-42 oligomers into the CA1 region of the hippocampus. By combining with animal behavioral test, thioflavin T detection, immunofluorescence and western blot test, the cognitive-enhancing effects of luteolin and exercise combination therapy and the underlying mechanisms were investigated. Results: Luteolin (100 mg/kg/d) combined with exercise could significantly improve the performance of AD model mice in novel object recognition test, and the improvement was greater than that of monotherapy. Further experiments showed that luteolin and exercise alone or in combination could reverse the increase of Aβ content, the activation of astrocytes and microglia, and the decrease of the level of autophagy in hippocampus and cortex in AD model induced by Aβ1-42 oligomers. While the combination therapy involved more intact hippocampal and cortical areas, with greater degree of changes. Conclusion: Luteolin and exercise combination therapy prevented Aβ1-42 oligomers-induced cognitive impairment, possibly by decreasing neuroinflammation and enhancing autophagy. The luteolin and exercise combination therapy may be a useful therapeutic option for preventing and/or delaying the progression of memory dysfunction of AD.

Summary. In the described clinical case, the patient demonstrated that he suffer from the acromegaly since 1995. Due to MRI results revealed microadenoma pituitary. The patient held treating by dopamine receptor agonist, bromocriptine drug at a dose of 0.75-0.5 mg per day. Under the influence of growth hormone treatment rates decreased from 29.0 ng/mL (1.15.96) to 5.9 ng/mL. (10/25/ 15), the reference rate up to 3.0 ng/mL. Related and appeared as a complication of such endocrine diseases: in 2003, he was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and nodular goiter. Diabetes is treated with oral antidiabetic drugs: metformin and gliclazide. Diabetes is compensated. Indicators of thyroid function within the normal values. Clinical features of the described case is that acromegaly beginning to manifest articular syndrome and only on its background began to emerge the typical patient acromegaly changes appearance. Also, clinical feature is the fact that the breach of diabetes in a patient came in 8 years from the beginning of the manifestation of acromegaly, although usually impaired glucose tolerance and acromegaly are usually diagnosed at the same time. Perhaps such a stitched development disorders of carbohydrate metabolism caused by the medicine of dopamine receptor agonist and thus decreased contra insulin action of growth hormone.

У статті описано клінічний випадок адреногенітального синдрому (АГС) в дитини, дослідження гормонального та соматичного стану якої сприяло правильному лікуванню та вирішенню юридичних аспектів щодо подальшого життя шляхом законної зміни статі. При народженні дитина зареєстрована в чоловічій статі. У вій] 17 днів госпіталізована у зв’язку з кризом наднирникової недостатності, обстежена: проявлялися ознаки гіперкортицизму місяцеподібним обличчям, наявна неправильна будова зовнішніх статевих органів,- ступінь вірилізацїї по Прадеру - ЙЙЙ. Поставлений діагноз: Вроджена дисфункція кори наднирників, сільвтрачаюча форма . Каріотип 46, XX. Основний показник скринінгового обстеження на АГС: 17-оксипрогестерон (17-ОПГ) 25,50 нг/мл (30.09.2016) при референтному значенні 0.23-0.75 нг/ мл. Патогенетична терапія розпочата в стаціонарі препаратами груп глюкокортикоїдів - кортеф в дозі 7,5 мг на добу та мінералокортикоїдів - кортинефф 0,01 мг на добу. Рівень 17-ОПГ знизився до 5,15 нг/мл (14.10.2016). Лабораторні показники функціонального стану наднирникових залоз також змінилися. Водно-електролітний баланс відновлено. За результатами ультразвукового дослідження області малого таза візуалізувалися внутрішні статеві органи за жіночим типом.

За висновком консиліуму лікарів, подальший план лікування полягав у замісній гормональній терапії, корекції водно-електролітного балансу та коригуючій пластиці зовнішніх статевих органів у плановому порядку. Рекомендована зміна громадянської статі на жіночу (за письмовою згодою батьків).
