Authors: Nekhlopochyn Oleksii S. , Verbov Vadim V. , Cheshuk Ievgen V. , Vorodi Milan V.
Published: October 2023

More than 60% of traumatic injuries of the spine occur in the zone of the thoracolumbar junction (TLJ), and 60–75% of these fractures are of a compression nature. Type A1 injuries are characterized by the least osteo-destructive changes compared to other injuries. Traditionally, they are treated conservatively. A number of studies conducted in the last 10 years, shows a high rate of failure of conservative treatment, as evidenced by the progression of kyphotic deformity of the compressed vertebral body. Most of these publications are devoted to osteoporotic lesions in aged patients, while this aspect has been little studied in patients of working age with normal bone density. Objective: to evaluate the factors influencing the risk of kyphotic deformity progression in patients of working age with type A1 traumatic injuries of the thoracolumbar junction. Materials and methods. The analysis of clinical cases of patients who visited the outpatient department of Romodanov Neurosurgery Institute of National Academy of Medical Sciences of Ukraine in the period from 2019 to 2022 with traumatic damage to the TLJ zone. Forty-seven victims who met the selection criteria were selected. Gender, age, body mass index, level of damage, location of the damaged endplate (caudal or cranial), bone tissue radiodensity, angular kyphotic deformity of the vertebral body, and pain intensity were considered as predictors. Depending on the presence or absence of deformity progression 2 months after the injury, the patients were divided into two clinical groups. The most clinically significant predictors were identified using the LASSO (Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator) regression method. Results. LASSO screening identified five potential predictors. The final logistic regression model after regularization demonstrated high predictive performance: the area under the ROC curve (AUC) was 0.907, and the predictive accuracy was 85%. When assessing the risk of kyphotic deformity progression in traumatic injuries of type A1 of the TLJ zone, age, bone density, angular kyphotic deformity of the vertebral body, and pain intensity are of the greatest importance, demonstrating a directly proportional relationship. A compressed caudal endplate is also associated with a higher risk of post-traumatic progression of angular kyphosis. The nomogram developed using the mentioned factors makes it possible to quantify the degree of risk when choosing a therapy strategy. Conclusions. The performed analysis made it possible to create a nomogram for predicting the increase in kyphotic deformity of the vertebral body in A1 fractures of TLJ region. The proposed model can be used for a rational assessment of the risk degree when choosing the optimal tactics for treating patients.

Objective: to optimize surgical access to intracranial lesions (tumors, arteriovenous malformations, cysts, etc.) by using a holographic neuronavigation system with augmented reality helmet.
Materials and methods: The study included thirty-four patients who underwent cerebral neurosurgical interventions. Creation and clinical use of mixed reality neuronavigation (MRN) system holograms was possible in all cases, which allowed accurate localization of lesions. The additional time required for synchronizing the MRN system with the clinical environment was estimated, which decreased with the number of MRN system uses. Operators evaluated the effectiveness of the technology and in most cases provided positive evaluations after use.
Results: A semi-automatic MRN recording system on HoloLens smart glasses has been developed and tested for accuracy and performance. 34 patients with intracranial lesions were prospectively included in the study. Three-dimensional holograms of lesions, markers, and surrounding anatomical landmarks based on multimodal imaging were generated for each patient and then imported into the MRN system in AR helmet. After point recording, holograms were projected onto the patient’s head and observed through the AR helmet during the planning and conducting of surgical interventions.
Conclusions: In this small pilot study, the authors found that mixed reality neuronavigation system MRN can be applied in the workflow of a neurosurgical operating room and is a possible method of preoperative identification of lesion boundaries for surgical access planning. Future studies are needed to identify strategies to improve and optimize the accuracy of MRN system.

Authors: Gomes da Silva Neto João , Maria de Fátima Silva dos Santos
Published: October 2023

This paper aims at aspects of a study on the textual analysis of legal discourse, focusing on the discursive representation of the victim in police inquiry documents related to cases of investigation of violence against women. The study is part of the general theoretical framework of Text Linguistics (LT) and, more specifically, of Textual Discourses Analysis, drawn up by the linguist Jean-Michel Adam (2011a). The concept of discursive representation proposed by TDA is one of the most important categories related to the semantic configuration in this analytical approach.
Sobre a caracterização temporal de frases complexas com orações adverbiais finais com para em Português Europeu
Authors: Purificação Silvano  , Luís Filipe Cunha
Published: October 2023

The main goal of this paper is to discuss the temporal behaviour of European Portuguese factive purpose clauses introduced by para (‘to’) + non-inflected Infinitives. We will argue that a posteriority temporal relation, resulting from the interaction between the lexical properties of the connective and the Result Rhetorical Relation, is crucial to understand the temporal possibilities displayed in these sentences. However, we will demonstrate that other semantic factors, such as the aspectual profile of the eventualities and the Rhetorical Relations that may arise in these constructions, also play a decisive role in determining the final temporal ordering of the clauses.
No limiar da escrita argumentativa: um estudo exploratório
Authors: Costa Ana Luísa
Published: October 2023

The aim of this paper is to contribute with some empirical evidence to the study of the development of argumentative writing. Curricular documents and Portuguese syllabi over the past 30 years have neglected argumentative writing, as the writing of personal opinion texts in the 1st cycle of Basic Education. Although some literature on writing development conceives argumentative writing as a late skill, some research on argumentative writing development brings into debate the importance of promoting writing skills within different textual genres, specifically with argumentative texts, in order to improve linguistic literacy and increase writing skills.
Movimento X0 em crianças com implante coclear: evidência para défice sintático em casos de input tardio
Authors: Costa João , Moita Mara
Published: October 2023

Orally trained hearing impaired children with hearing aids and cochlear implants show general syntactic deficit in constructions involving movement (passives, wh-questions and relative clauses) as a result of their late exposure to linguistic input (Friedmann & Szterman, 2006). In this paper, we explore XP movement in wh-questions and X0 movement in verbal answers and in clitic production in cochlear implanted children’s spontaneous speech. The results show that these children have no problems with wh- movement but show difficulties with X0 movement, revealing a possible difficulty with a type of movement that takes place at the PF interface.

Authors: Homma Kenji , Maruo Akito , Yoshinaga Masashi , Fujiwara Kaito , Usui Yuki , Jippo Hideyuki
Published: October 2023

This paper reports on a method of material development with multiple recommendations using a Gaussian process and a genetic algorithm(GA). Conventional Bayesian optimization(BO) was an inefficient method because it updates the predictive model sequentially with one recommendation and one experiment, furthermore there was a possibility of reaching local solutions in the huge search space. Therefore, we devised an evaluation index based on GA, which is different from the evaluation function used in BO, and developed a multiple recommendation method to efficiently visualize and grasp the enormous material search space. Multiple recommendations were able to efficiently explore a huge search space, and furthermore, deviant experimental prosses conditions were constrained by introducing a prior knowledge model. We found the optimum composition and sintering temperature of a Li3PO4–Li3BO3–Li2SO4 ternary mixture system to be 22:16:62 (mol%) and 723°C, respectively, and Lithium-ion conductivity is measured to be 1.3 × 10−3 S/cm at 300°C, which is more than twice the maximum conductivity (4.9 × 10−4 S/cm) observed in a previous report.
Designing Sustainable Polymers: Lactate Esters for 3D Printing and Upcycling

Published: October 2023

The search for sustainable polymer systems is key to tackling the current climate crisis. However, the use of bio-based polymers does not suffice to achieve this goal. Additionally, new chemical approaches enabling the re- or upcycling of polymer materials need to be explored. Herein, we exploit lactate esters with different substituents as readily available bio-based molecules for the synthesis of printable monomers. The synthesis of these lactate ester-based monomers follows green chemistry principles by establishing a solvent-free, one-pot approach, relying on a reusable catalyst, and achieving high conversions (84 – 100%) at mild conditions. Further, these monomers are utilized in 3D printable ink formulations for digital light processing (DLP) for the first time in combination with a recycled crosslinker. The resulting 3D printed structures display complex geometries with high resolution. A key attribute of the presented system is that the 3D printed polymer material can be upcycled via aminolysis affording a pre-cursor of the crosslinker, which is in turn incorporated into the further ink formulations, introducing a material circularity into the system. These results demonstrate a powerful approach by combining bio-based monomers and chemical upcycling with sustainable 3D printing techniques.

Published: October 2023

An ethnobotanical documentation on the medicinal plants used by local people of Nagaland, (North-east India) has been presented here. The study explored 33 plant species (with their local names, indigenous applications, sources/origins, parts of plants used, bioactive compounds present, process of preparing medicines from the plants) belonging to 28 families have been reviewed thoroughly. Some examples are, Catharanthus roseus (Tsuinrinaro, Periwinkle), Acacia pennata (Chakrangaing, Ballikhadira), Adhatoda vasica (Kicharangnaro, Malabar-nut), Ageratum conzyoides (Imchenriza, Billy-goat-weed, /Tropical-white-weed), Alstonia scholaris (Lazarongpang, Blackboard), Rauvolfia serpentina (Per-mozutong, Indian-snakeroot) etc. Plant based drugs are very popular and effective in Nagaland from ancient times but thorough-documentation with scientific-background of effectiveness, active chemical-compounds present, their action-mechanism etc. are still scanty. Such review can be of useful for pharmacologist, phyto-chemists to a broad group of researchers and may lead to discovery of new sources of novel medicines through traditional therapeutic knowledge.
A conjugated heat and mass transfer model to implement reaction in particle-resolved CFD simulations of catalytic fixed bed reactors
Authors: Kutscherauer Martin , Anderson Scott , Böcklein Sebastian , Mestl Gerhard , Turek Thomas , Wehinger Gregor D.
Published: October 2023

Modeling catalytic fixed bed reactors with a small tube-to-particle diameter ratio requires a detailed description of the interactions between fluid flow, intra-particle transport, and the chemical reaction(s) within the catalyst. Particle-resolved computational fluid dynamics (PRCFD) simulations are the most promising approach to accurately predict the behavior of these reactors, since they take explicitly into account the local packed bed structure. In this work, a conjugated heat and mass transfer model for use in PRCFD simulations is presented to couple the fluid flow through the fixed bed with transport and reaction in the porous catalyst, while guaranteeing the no-slip boundary condition at the fluid-solid interface. For this purpose, the solutions of the solid and fluid domain are computed separately and are coupled by calculation and updating the boundary condition at the particle surface. Due to the consideration of secondary gradients, the developed transfer model is also valid for unstructured calculation meshes containing non-orthogonal cells at the fluid-solid interface. Such meshes are often used to resolve complex geometries, such as a packed bed, in a computationally efficient manner. The coupling approach is validated using cases for which an analytical solution or literature correlations derived from experimental data are available. The simulation results of a short catalytic packed bed with rings catalyzing the partial oxidation of n-butane to maleic anhydride exemplify the potential of PRCFD involving reactions to analyze the catalyst performance in great detail.
Computational Study of the Reactions of Interstellar Molecules: CH2 Reacting with HCNO and HNCO
Authors: Ji Hongchen , Rágyanszki Anita , Fournier Rene A.
Published: October 2023

Association reactions among small molecules known to exist in the interstellar medium are interesting for theories on the origins of life. A screening of thousands of reactions, using machine learning estimates of energy barriers, identified the reaction of CH2 with HCNO and HNCO as particularly interesting. We report reaction mechanisms, including energies of transition states and products, computed with density functional theory and coupled cluster theory. The lowest energy pathway on the triplet ground state surface of CH2 + HNCO has a barrier of 11 kcal/mol and produces CH2(CO)NH. Singlet CH2 is 9 kcal/mol above the ground state. It can react with HCNO or HNCO without barrier giving four products: CH2NCHO, N-methyleneformamide, the thermodynamically favoured product; NHCHCHO; NHCHOCH; and (CH2OC)NH, oxiran-2-ylazanide. If triplet to singlet crossing occurs, an upper bound of roughly 10 kcal/mol is implied for the barrier to formation of these four products.

Renewable energy technologies that employ electrochemical processes necessitates mechanistic understanding of the instability of electrocatalytic materials. The major challenge is the structural degradation of oxide electrodes during electrocatalytic oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Strongly oxidative conditions of the OER are known to induce changes mostly in the surface layer, including amorphization, dissolution, and cation leaching. Here, we show that oxygen intercalation into a perovskite SrCoO3-x electrocatalyst under OER conditions leads to the formation of O2 dimers in its bulk and results in bulk amorphization induced by chemo-mechanical coupling. Specifically, we employ high-resolution resonant inelastic X-ray scattering (RIXS) to unveil the potential-dependent evolution of lattice oxygen in the bulk from the conventional O2- species to quasi-molecular O2 states. Using first principles calculations, we show that oxygen dimers are thermodynamically stable inside the perovskite lattice, providing insight into where and how such dimerization can occur. Ultimately, our study demonstrates that bulk oxygen oxidation is an important process in destabilizing oxide lattice and should be considered in the search for structurally robust OER electrocatalysts.

Published: October 2023

This study explored the roles of School Management Teams (SMTs) in fostering entrepreneurship education among learners. Entrepreneurship is recognised as a vital driver of economic growth, innovation, and job creation, making it increasingly necessary to cultivate an entrepreneurial mindset and skill set in learners. SMTs, comprising school administrators, teachers, parents and community representatives, are pivotal in shaping and developing the entrepreneurial potential of students. However, little research has focused specifically on the roles of SMTs in this domain. The study applied a Systematic Literature Review, where 2518 papers were reviewed from academic databases and other research sources, including SAGE, Wiley, Elsevier, and Inderscience, to find pertinent studies published in peer-reviewed journals, conference proceedings, and reports. Two main themes emerged from the analysis: (1) Current roles of SMTs in fostering entrepreneurship among learners, including curriculum development, resource allocation, teacher professional development, community engagement, learner support and guidance, evaluation and assessment, and policy development; and (2) Advising roles of SMTs to foster entrepreneurship in learners, encompassing individual student guidance, group mentoring, career counselling, connecting students with resources, monitoring progress, and celebrating success. Recommendations include strengthening collaboration and networking, providing continuous professional development for SMT members, integrating entrepreneurship education into the curriculum, establishing school support structures, implementing effective evaluation and assessment mechanisms, and engaging in policy advocacy. By implementing these recommendations, SMTs could enhance their roles in fostering entrepreneurship among learners, creating a supportive and conducive ecosystem that nurtures and develops entrepreneurial attitudes and competencies.

Authors: Shestak Yaroslav , Chubaievskyi Vitaliy
Published: October 2023

This publication researches the problem of modelling the information infrastructure of higher education institutions. It is noted that the information infrastructure includes people, processes, procedures, tools, technologies, as well as organizational structures and mechanisms necessary to support the functioning and development of the economic entity. The information infrastructure has corresponding components, each of which has its own characteristics and there is a certain dependence between the information infrastructure of the subject of economic activity as a function of its structural components. A model of the electronic communication networks organization within the defined high school and connected to the general purpose e-communications has been developed in the form of a tuple of constituent structural components, where the structure of electronic communication networks within the defined high school and connected to the general purpose e-communications is involved, a set of objects of electronic communication networks that change their state as a result of a set of certain operations and users. It is shown that the information infrastructure of the defined high school in the form of an undirected graph considers a number of uncertainties and it is proposed to introduce such a structural component of the IIS of the defined high school as an intelligent system (InS), which will be interconnected on the basis of neural network algorithms and defined structural components. Accordingly, the information infrastructure of a higher education institution with an intellectual component is a complex set of information systems of higher education institutions/automated specialized systems and all information resources controlled by neural network algorithms and aimed at harmonizing the educational process and educational activities.

Published: October 2023

Modern businesses have undergone significant changes as a result of digital advances and the recent COVID-19 pandemic. In particular, there has been an increase in the number of employees working remotely, using personal digital devices alongside corporate devices, and the enterprise itself moving business processes to the cloud or using hybrid environments that combine both cloud and on-premises services. Taken together, this leads to increased interaction between devices and services over open networks, creating new risks of cyber-attack. It is this situation that has led to the relevance and direction of this research. The paper analyzes the current state of effectiveness of the application of enterprise information security policy, in particular, identifies the main limitations associated with the difficulty, and sometimes impossibility, to control the behavioral aspects of enterprise employees to comply with the basic provisions of security policy and general information security. The basic principles of the Zero Trust conceptual approach are analyzed and the main advantages of its application in the formation of the security policy as a strategic approach to ensuring the information security of the enterprise in the conditions of dynamic growth of new threats and transformation of modern business are determined. At the same time, it is established that one of the key components of the Zero Trust architecture is the access control system. As a result, forming the prospects of applying the concept of Zero Trust in the construction and implementation of the information security policy, the necessity of conducting an accompanying study of the effectiveness of modern mechanisms of identification/authentication of access subjects was determined.

Authors: Shchur Nataliia , Pokotylo Oleksandra , Bailiuk Yelyzaveta
Published: October 2023

Elliptic curves are one of the most promising tools for constructing modern cryptographic algorithms. The security of elliptic curve cryptography is based on the complexity of solving the discrete logarithm problem in the group of points of the elliptic curve over a finite field. Elliptic curve cryptography enables two parties communicating over public channel using elliptic curve encryption and signing algorithms. Elliptic curves allow to achieve the same level of security with small key sizes than other asymmetric cryptographic algorithms. The article describes the mathematical apparatus of elliptic curves used for cryptographic purposes, the basic operations in the group of points of elliptic curves, such as addition of points, doubling of a point, and scalar multiplication of a point by a number are given. The steps and principles of the Diffie-Hellman key exchange algorithm (ECDH) and the digital signature scheme (ECDSA) on elliptic curves are considered. An overview of standards establishing recommendations and requirements for the use of elliptic curves in cryptographic systems is provided. The advantages of elliptic curve cryptography compared to traditional asymmetric algorithms, such as smaller key sizes, computational speed, and efficient use of resources, are analyzed. Potential threats and vulnerabilities of cryptographic algorithms based on elliptic curves are discussed. The main practical application areas of cryptographic algorithms on elliptic curves, including network security, cryptocurrency operations, message exchange, the Internet of Things, and government institutions are investigated. Examples of popular standardized curves (Curve25519, Curve448, secp256k1) that have been tested and recommended by specialized organizations such as NIST are given.

In a hybrid war, the winner is the party that first creates conditions for violating the target function of the operability of the information security system and cybersecurity of critical information infrastructure facilities. To create prerequisites for a violation of the target function, it is necessary to identify vulnerabilities in the information security system and cybersecurity of enemy critical information infrastructure facilities in advance. This task is performed during Cyber to Intelligence. For a long time, the concept of cyber to intelligence was absent from scientific research, but the activity as such was already carried out in the context of cyber intelligence. Only in 2021, at the legislative level, it was adopted to understand cyber to intelligence as activities aimed at identifying vulnerabilities in software, telecommunications equipment, automated control systems for forces, weapons and/or technological processes of a certain target (cyber infrastructure object). The subject of research in the scientific article is the justification of the administrative and legal foundations of the organization of cyber to intelligence. To achieve the goal and the set task, theoretical research methods were used: generalization of scientific literature; structural and genetic analysis when clarifying the object and subject of research; analytical and comparative analysis when evaluating the novelty of research results; generalization-for formulating conclusions and recommendations.

Somut olmayan kültürel mirasın kayıt altına alınması: katılımlı, yaşayan dijital envanterler
Authors: YILDIZ Tuna
Published: October 2023

Somut olmayan kültürel mirasın korunmasında önemli bir rolü olan envanter oluşturma ve kayıt süreçlerini de günümüzde teknolojinin geçirdiği değişime bağlı olarak yeniden yorumlamak gerekir. Dijitalleşmenin getirdiği etkileşimli ortam, klasik “envanter” kavramı hakkında farklı bakış açıları üretmiştir. Kullanıcıların oluşumuna katkı vererek içerik oluşturabildiği, video ve fotoğrafların kullanıldığı, etkileşimli ve katılımlı envanterler somut olmayan kültürel miras söz konusu olduğunda önemli hâle gelmiştir. Özellikle de geleneksel bilgiye meraklı kullanıcılar tarafından oluşturulan ve kimi sivil toplum kuruluşları veya hükûmetlerce desteklenen dijital envanterler ister istemez kullanıcı-toplum temelli, katılımlı bir alanı ifade etmektedir. Kendi yöresine ait yemekleri, düğün âdetlerini, cenaze ritüellerini, sözlü kültür ürünlerini kısa video ve fotoğraflarla belgeleyerek, çevrim içi sitelere yüklemek mirasın taşıyıcıları için katılımı ön plana çıkarmaktadır. “Alan kavramının değişmesi”, “internetin folklorun yeni alanı olması”, “netlore”, “netnografi”, “dijital folklor” gibi kavramlar etrafında yürütülen tartışmalara ek olarak “dijital katılımlı yaşayan envanter” kavramının da özellikle somut olmayan kültürel mirasın korunması söz konusu olduğunda tartışılması gerekmektedir. Yazılı belge, ses kaydı ve video gibi materyallerin harici belleklerde saklanması gelecek kuşaklar tarafından görülmesini de zorlaştırmaktadır. Bu bakımdan klasik envanter anlayışı kültürel miras unsurlarının saklı ve kimi zaman da donuk kalmasına neden olabilmektedir. Bu bağlamda çalışmada, somut olmayan kültürel mirasın envanterlenmesinde etkili olan farklı platformların varlığının tespiti için internet ortamında doküman incelemesi ve durum analizi yapılmıştır. Çalışmada tartışma konusu edilen veriler ilgili uygulamalardan derlenmiş ve analiz edilmiştir. Sonuç olarak bu makalede sürekli güncellenen, yeniden üretilen ve görünürlüğü klasik envanterlere göre daha yüksek olan, farklı internet sitelerinde tutulan veriler “dijital katılımlı envanter” veya “yaşayan envanter” terimleriyle yorumlanarak tartışılmıştır. Örnek olarak Wikimedia sitesindeki farklı sayfalar, YouTube ve diğer sosyal medya sayfaları seçilmiştir. Seçilen örnekler incelendiğinde üç farklı dijital yaşayan envanter yaklaşımı sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.
A Jungian Hero's Journey as Individuation Process in J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone: A Jungian Approach
Authors: KILIÇ Volkan
Published: October 2023

J. K. Rowling's Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, exposes the concepts of individuation and self-improvement through archetypes based on the works of Swiss psychiatrist Carl Gustav. The archetypes, according to Jung (1959), are all the symbolic components of the human psyche that we all carry inside us throughout life. Likewise, the novel represents a character’s development process through these archetypes and individuation in the form of shadows and personas. Considering the ideas and theory of Jung given above, it can be stated that in Rowling’s Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, one can encounter the process of individuation in Harry, who undergoes a complete change in his personality, entering into a quest or a journey to the fantastic world, where he develops and improves his individuation for maturity and self-realization through recognizing, confronting, and assimilating the representations of shadows and persona in his psyche. This study, therefore, aims at revealing the archetypes that guide Harry’s journey throughout the stages of the Jungian hero's journey, as well as his embarkation on a quest of self-discovery and personal growth. Accordingly, in this study, as the protagonist of the novel, Harry’s heroic journey for seeking knowledge is studied and analysed in terms of Carl Jung’s theory of archetypes and individuation, by revealing that the hero's character, Harry, improves towards individuation by recognizing, confronting, and assimilating the representations of the shadow and persona in his psyche in the novel Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone.

Authors: Atkočiūnas A. , Mačionytė M. , Mameniškienė R.
Published: October 2023

Background and aim. Stroke remains one of the most common causes of death and disability in the world. The evident decline in disabling outcomes can be attributed to the increasing use of reperfusion therapies. Stroke recognition and urgent admission of patients to specialized stroke centres after the onset of first stroke symptoms are essential for treatment outcomes. This study aims to assess public stroke awareness and its change since 2019.Methods. An anonymous cross-sectional study involving 300 Vilnius residents was conducted in 2022, the results of which were compared with the data of 502 respondents in 2019. A closed-ended questionnaire was used for the study. Statistical analysis was performed using IBM SPSS software with p<0.05 significance level.Results. Stroke was identified as an acute cerebrovascular disorder by 83.3% of respondents in 2022 (82.7% in 2019). At least one correct warning sign of stroke was indicated by 98.7% of respondents (96.4% in 2019). The most commonly mentioned symptoms of stroke were one-sided face, arm or leg sensory disturbances, paralysis, or weakness (90.0%) and speech disorder (83.3%), with 82.1% and 81.5% respectively in 2019. Only 58% (45.4% in 2019) of respondents reported visual impairment as a stroke symptom. Women had better knowledge of stroke than men (p<0.05). The internet was the main source of information for 63.3% of respondents (64.9% in 2019).Conclusions. Since 2019, stroke awareness has improved in Vilnius. This proves that F.A.S.T. campaign has reached the public. Women have better knowledge of stroke than men. Visual impairment is the least known symptom of stroke. Therefore, the search for new information programmes, especially directed to the targeted audience, can be useful for better publicity.

Conducting Small-Scale Multimethod Questionnaire Evaluation
Authors: Ridolfo Heather , Thompson Ashley
Published: October 2023

When pretesting survey questionnaires, there are benefits to using a multimethod approach. However, using multiple methods can be cost prohibitive. In 2021, the National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) received feedback from stakeholders regarding concerns about double counting of grain stocks in the Agricultural Survey and the Grain Stocks Report. Data from these two surveys are used to produce the Grain Stocks publication, which is a principal Federal Economic Indicator publication. To address stakeholder feedback, NASS evaluated these two multimode surveys, in a short timeframe, with limited resources. Despite these limitations, NASS utilized expert review, cognitive testing, usability testing and behavior coding to evaluate these two survey questionnaires. This paper demonstrates that multimethod pretesting can be done effectively on a low-cost, small-scale basis.

Published: October 2023

Coastal waters of the Special Economic Zone (SEZ) Mandalika must be given more attention as it is the centre of tourism activities, including the International GP motor circuit on the island of Lombok. One of the bioindicators used in determining water quality is phytoplankton. Phytoplankton is tiny organisms that float on the water, have very weak swimming abilities, and their movements are heavily influenced by water flow. This research aimed to determine the diversity of phytoplankton as a bioindicator in the waters of Tanjung Aan, Central Lombok. Sampling sites in Tanjung Aan were determined by purposive sampling. This research was conducted from March to June 2023. The research results showed that there were six classes, 56 families, and 56 genera with 128 species in the community of phytoplankton. Species 113 were members of the class Bacillariophyceae. The phytoplankton abundance in three sampling sites ranged from 488 ind/L to 1109 ind/L. The species diversity indexes of phytoplankton in the three sampling sites ranged from 2.4 to 2.9, which means that the diversity is in the low category, and the species dominance index ranges from 0.12 to 0.15. This indicates that the condition of the waters of Tanjung Aan is slightly polluted.

Este material didático foi elaborado por estudantes dos cursos técnicos de nível médio do Instituto Federal do Paraná - Campus de Capanema, vinculados aos projetos ensino "Análise de fontes no ensino de História do Brasil". Por meio destas produções, os estudantes concorreram na etapa final da 14º Olimpíada Nacional de História do Brasil, edição de 2022. As análises produzidas pelos estudantes tratam das lutas e resistências das Mulheres a partir de uma abordagem histórica das condições desvantajosas que as mulheres enfrentaram no passado e enfrentam na atualidade. Problematizam os preconceitos enfrentados no processo de educação ou no ambiente de trabalho e às lutas e conquistas advindas da organização e das resistências. Neste trabalho os estudantes buscaram dar visibilidade aos movimentos as formas pelas quais as mulheres se organizaram e lutam por igualdade em suas práticas cotidianas, atuando como sujeitos de sua própria história.
Convidamos todas, todos e todes a nos acompanhar nessa reflexão.
ÉCFRASIS Y ARCHIVO. IMAGEN COMO EXPERIMENTACIÓN NARRATIVA EN PAPELUCHO GAY EN DICTADURA DE JUAN PABLO SUTHERLAND Y UN COMUNISTA EN CALZONCILLOS DE CLAUDIA PIÑEIRO
Authors: Gutiérrez Muñoz Óscar
Published: October 2023

El presente artículo busca evidenciar cómo los conceptos de Écfrasis y Archivo funcionan como elementos centrales de las novelas Papelucho Gay en Dictadura de Juan Pablo Sutherland y Un comunista en calzoncillos de Claudia Piñeiro, producciones textuales que, desde el espacio de la posmemoria, experimentan con el recuerdo y la imagen. La inclusión en la novela de imágenes-archivos, fragmenta la estructura narrativa, lo que posibilita abordar ambos trabajos desde el aparato analítico que denomino estética de la elisión, propuesta interpretativa referida al periodo dictatorial chileno y argentino. Dicha estética se despliega a partir de la fragmentación (temporal y narrativa) y de la dualidad discursiva, que se manifiesta en la ambigüedad con la cual los narradores de ambas novelas exploran las dimensiones del conflicto político de sus países.

La contaminación auditiva presente en la Urbanización Bahía, situada en el Distrito de Buenaventura, es una afectación que tradicionalmente ha venido limitando a la comunidad allí asentada, la capacidad de gozar de adecuada existencia puesto que el ruido emitido por los equipos de sonido encendidos a altos decibles de acucia, causan contaminación en el ambiente comunitario resultando como consecuencias severas alteraciones en las personas de la comunidad quienes, sometidas de manera involuntaria a esa situación negativa, se percibe vulneradas de diferentes  maneras en su salud física, mental como también, en el ambiente social del barrio. El estudio consiste en el abordaje de la problemática de contaminación auditiva generada por el uso inadecuado de los equipos de sonido en la comunidad señalada y para el desarrollo del estudio, fue necesario hacer respectiva revisión bibliográfica y aplicación de instrumentos investigativos en el campo de estudio, para poder contar con elementos necesarios que conllevaran al establecimiento analítico. De manera concluyente, la investigación arrojó que el ruido musical, es una afectación que, constantemente afecta a familias asentadas en la urbanización Bahía del Distrito de Buenaventura, convirtiéndose esa situación, en un hecho generador de sentidas limitaciones para la adecuada existencia de las personas.

Background. Obesity is a significant social problem among the population of the world. The leptin gene (LEP) is currently considered as a potential candidate gene influencing metabolic disorders associated with predisposition to overweight and obesity. Leptin plays an important role in body weight homeostasis by influencing food intake and energy expenditure and maintaining constant energy stores. A defect in the leptin gene may be one of the causes of obesity and, as a result, of various obesity-associated pathologies. The aim of the study. To search for single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) of the leptin gene in adolescents with different weight status. Methods. The study involved 20  adolescents aged 11–17  years with normal body weight and  overweight/obesity. Research methods: assessment of clinical status with  anthropometry; Sanger sequencing of the leptin gene fragment localized in the  intron of this gene – (5’-AGCCTTGTTTTCATCATCTGGA, 3’-TGGGAGGAATCGCTCTCAGA). We also carried out bioinformatic processing of sequencing results. Results. As a result of the study, the optimal conditions for amplification of the 891 bps leptin gene region were selected for the above mentioned primer pair of the LEP gene (s16_L891, s16_R891). Based on the results of sequencing, 45 single nucleotide substitutions of the LEP gene were identified, including 23 single nucleotide substitutions which were not previously registered in GenBank. In the group of adolescents with overweight and obesity, 14 unregistered single nucleotide substitutions of the LEP gene and 13 registered SNPs were identified in the GenBank database. In the group of adolescents with normal body weight, these SNPs were not found.

Background. Cold injury is one of the most significant problems for the northern regions of the Russian Federation. Frostbite is defined as a complex of changes caused by the action of low temperatures, which lead to morphological changes in damaged tissue structures. As a result, the skin with underlying tissues and the intercellular matrix, the components of which are collagen fibers, are damaged, which eventually leads to remodeling and a protracted course of the wound process. Morphometric studies in combination with quantitative analysis of microphotographs (histological specimens) using GIS technologies make it possible to distinguish altered collagen fibers under the influence of low temperatures from relatively healthy tissues. The aim of the study. To assess the possibility of using computer analysis of microphotographs in  a  complex of morphometric studies of collagen fibers in local cold injury. Materials and methods. The study included 84 patients with III and IV degree frostbite of the lower extremities. Morphological study of tissues and microphotography were performed using Leica DM2500 microscope (Leica, Germany). The thickness of  collagen fibers was measured based on  visual measurements of characteristic areas of the microphotograph. Computer analysis of tissue microphotographs of  the  zone of cryoinjury was performed using the ArcINFO software (Esri, USA). Statistical processing of the study results was carried out using the SPSS Statistics software package (IBM Corp., USA). Graphs and diagrams were constructed using MS Office Excel (Microsoft Corp., USA). Results. With frostbite, severe tissue damage occurs, accompanied by the destructive processes of the extracellular matrix components. Low temperatures contribute to  changes in the width and orientation of collagen fibers in the damaged area. In  this  regard, a change in the texture of the histological specimen image leads to achange in the numerical characteristics of the standard deviation of the curvature coefficient in the studied area of the microphotograph. Thus, in the late reactive period, the described complex of morphometric studies makes it possible to classify particular microphotograph as having pathological signs or as a sample of healthy tissue.
