Introducción: La prevalencia de infecciones periprotésicas luego de una artroplastia total de cadera primaria es aproximadamente del 2%. El objetivo de este estudio fue determinar si existen diferencias estadísticamente significativas entre la tasa de infecciones periprotésicas agudas ante una profilaxis antibiótica extendida (7 días) y una profilaxis antibiótica estándar (24 h).

Materiales y Métodos: Se realizó un estudio clínico prospectivo, entre julio de 2021 y mayo de 2022, que incluyó a 28 adultos con fractura de cadera sometidos a una artroplastia primaria que recibieron profilaxis antibiótica con cefalosporinas de primera generación durante 7 días a quienes se comparó con 95 adultos con fracturas de cadera con una artroplastia primaria y profilaxis antibiótica de 24 h, extraídos de una base de datos secundaria del registro del hospital.

Resultados: La tasa de infecciones periprotésicas agudas fue del 10,71% en el grupo con profilaxis extendida y del 17,89% en quienes recibieron profilaxis estándar, sin diferencias estadísticamente significativas (p = 0,36).

Conclusiones: Si bien, según la bibliografía disponible, la prolongación de la profilaxis antibiótica puede ser una medida simple, segura y rentable para contrarrestar los factores no modificables del paciente y asíreducir las infecciones periprotésicas; en este estudio, no se demostró que la profilaxis antibiótica extendida disminuya la tasa de infecciones periprotésicas agudas a los 30 días en pacientes con artroplastias de cadera primarias.

Published: October 2023

La artroplastia total de cadera es el principal tratamiento para la artrosis avanzada de cadera y las complicaciones pueden ser luxación, infección, aflojamiento aséptico y, en menor medida, reacciones adversas al metal. El seudotumor es una complicación poco frecuente con un par de fricción metal-metal. El diagnóstico y el tratamiento correctos son muy importantes para disminuir la morbimortalidad. Presentamos el caso de un hombre de 63 años que había sido sometido a una artroplastia total de cadera con un par de fricción metal-metal, 13 años atrás. Al consultar, tenía una gran masa en el glúteo derecho y parestesias en el territorio ciático homolateral. Se diagnosticó seudotumor asociado a infección periprotésica y el tratamiento definitivo consistió en revisión en un tiempo y la administración de antibióticos.

Authors: Santiago Villarreal Oscar , Islas Dominguez Adrian , Faustino-Vega Abraham , Quirino-Barreda Carlos Tomás , García-Gutiérrez Ponciano , Miranda-Calderón Jorge
Published: October 2023

Objetivo: incorporar la indometacina en sistemas autoemulsionables de liberación con la finalidad de aumentar su solubilidad en medio acuoso, la velocidad de disolución y permeación in vitro. Metodología: se llevaron a cabo ensayos de solubilidad al equilibrio para preparar formulaciones con los excipientes, en los cuales la indometacina presentó mayor incremento de solubilidad; los sistemas fueron caracterizados por medio del tiempo de autoemulsificación, estabilidad física, tamaño de partícula, potencial zeta, perfiles de disolución y permeación a través de membrana sintética. Resultados: el diseño experimental de los sistemas autoemulsionables de liberación permitió crear formulaciones que aumentaron la solubilidad de la indometacina en un orden de 105 veces con respecto a la solubilidad acuosa. Las formulaciones que resultaron viables presentaron tiempos de autoemulsificación menores que 60 segundos, además, las distribuciones de tamaño de partícula de las dispersiones fueron inferiores a los 300 nm, presentó índices de polidispersión inferiores a 0,3 y valores de potencial zeta menores de -25 mV. Los perfiles de disolución mostraron que las formulaciones cumplen con un valor de factor de similitud mayor que 50, además, la permeabilidad a través de membrana sintética es mayor para las formulaciones autoemulsionables que el producto de referencia. Conclusiones: la formulación de indometacina en sistemas autoemulsionables de liberación incrementa la solubilidad en medio acuoso, aumenta la disolución y liberación. Estos resultados sugieren que la administración oral de indometacina incorporada en sistemas autoemulsionables puede acelerar el inicio del efecto farmacológico.
Temples and Monasteries of the Ardatov Diocese of the Russian Orthodox Church in the 17th – 18th centuries
Authors: Mariskin Oleg I. , Kirillov Eduard P.
Published: October 2023

Introduction. The preservation of traditional Russian spiritual and moral values, culture and historical memory today is a strategic national priority of multinational and multi-confessional Russia.

Results and Discussion. In 1555, the Kazan diocese was formed, which launched an active work on the Christianization of the peoples of the Volga region. In 1672, the territory of the Alatyrsky district became part of the newly formed Nizhny Novgorod and Alatyrsky diocese. This event was closely connected with the strengthening of the Old Believers in the Volga region and the task of baptizing the non-Russian population of the Volga region. Orthodox monasteries became centers for the spread of Christianity in the Mordovian region. Along with the church-state Christianization of the Mordovian people, there was also its folk form, realized on the basis of voluntary economic and cultural communication with the Russian population. A significant role in the Orthodox life of the region in the 17th – 18 th centuries. Spaso-Preobrazhenskaya Startseuglovskaya Hermitage and Kazanskaya Klyuchevskaya Hermitage played.

Conclusion. In general, the baptism of the Mordovians, the foundation of monasteries and the desert, the opening of churches became an important step in strengthening Orthodoxy in the region, played a positive role in the spiritual and moral education of the people, and left a noticeable mark on the development of education and culture. There have been changes in daily life, traditions and rituals.
The Influence of Internet Communications on the Formation of Political Identity and Political Behavior of Russian Youth
Authors: Belokonev Sergey Yu. , Kosareva Anna A.
Published: October 2023

Introduction. The author of the article develops a theme of the Internet influence on formation of ego- and collective identity of youth ages 18–24.

Materials and Methods. Behaviorism, network approaches were used as the theoretical and methodological strategy of the study, as well as systematization of results, obtained during the 14 interviews.

Results. We have come to the conclusion that political identity of Russian youth ages 18–24 isn’t formed. This fact can be one of the causes of low political participation of the studied age group. In order to set a trend for sustainable political identity of youth forming, we need to create a unified communication system, which will help to create conditions for internalization of citizen identity values by young generations. Experts agree on the opinion, that the legitimacy of Russian government in the eyes of youth can be enhanced by implementing Internet-technologies, adapted to the young audience’s special perception of information (gamified content, short video content, preferably with the opinion leaders participation), as Russian youth, firstly, tend to rely on the Internet as the most transparent source of information, secondly, young people of Russia use the Internet more often, comparable to other generations.

Discussion and Conclusion. Underdevelopment of political identity of Russian younger generations is explained by several factors: first of all, the absence of well articulated by the Russian state image of the future, secondly, too frequent to adapt to them policy changes, thirdly, increasing distance between Russian government and Russian youths and, finally, creating conditions, that decrease the possibility of professional self-realization of younger generations. Raising its socializing effect on youth and becoming more significant mean of communication, the Internet can be used as a political tool, which could help with the forming of sustainable political identity of Russian youth but only if technologies, used by political actors in cyberspace, would be transparent and available for verification.
Development of Optics under Conditions of Early Industrial Modernization in the Second Half of the 19th – Beginning of the 20th Centuries
Authors: Sludnyh Anatoly V.
Published: October 2023

Abstract

Introduction. The relevance of the topic is related to the importance of studying the history of one of the promising branches of industry and science – optics. The study was carried out in the context of early industrial modernization in Russia in the second half of the 19th – early 20th centuries, which can be compared with the modern period of modernization in a post-industrial society.

Materials and Methods. The study is based on the theory of modernization, within which optics is studied from the point of view of the development of the economy, technology and the socio-cultural sphere of the industry.

Results. The history of optics confirms the presence of features of early industrial modernization in Russia: the high speed of the industrial revolution; the key role of the state; dependence on imported technologies. The bourgeoisie has become an important factor in the development of the optics industry. Its economic, socio-cultural activities, business practices played an important role in the formation of a new industry. One of the characteristic features of the formation of a science-intensive industry was the close connection between science and production.

Discussion and Conclusions. Despite the successes achieved by optics before the revolution, it was not possible to create mass industrial optical production in Russia. But the technological, industrial, scientific and socio-cultural prerequisites for the development of optical production, science and education were laid. Most of the pre-revolutionary optical industries served as the basis for Soviet optical and mechanical enterprises.
Alexander Nikiforovich Skrebitsky: Strokes to the Portrait of a Simbirsk Land Entrepreneur
Authors: Arsentiev Viktor M.
Published: October 2023

Introduction. The article examines the life path and entrepreneurial activity of the large Simbirsk landowner Alexander Nikiforovich Skrebitsky, which absorbed all the contradictions of the feudal-serf era, in many ways becoming its personification. The economic system of Russia in the 19th century, despite the continued dominance of traditionalism in its feudal guise, underwent quite significant changes. They occurred in a number of directions, one of which was the commercialization of landowner farms, their transformation into “economies”. But if in the second half of the 19th century for landowners the movement in this direction was essentially a matter of “survival” essentially the only possible scenario for maintaining their economic viability, then in the first half of the 19th century it was more of an innovation.

Results. The history of the business success of Russian landowners, who managed to overcome the inertial effect of the class environment and go beyond the feudal-serf restrictions, deserves close attention. Each of them followed their own path to success, using their existing competitive advantages to realize their entrepreneurial aspirations. A. N. Skrebitsky belonged to the most progressively minded part of the landowner-entrepreneurs in the first half of the 19th century. In their desire to create productive “economies” of a commercial nature within their estates, they formed a fairly stable economic trend that involved more and more enterprising landowners. By striving to commercialize their farms, give them a diversified focus, and carry out technical and technological modernization of their industrial complex they thereby reconfigured the existing system.

Discussion and Conclusion. Life path of A. N. Skrebitsky is quite typical for a Russian nobleman. The first stage of his life was entirely devoted to military service. In addition to career success, by the early 1830s he was able to significantly improve his financial situation, which in the context of his further activities can be regarded as the initial accumulation of capital. Having become a landowner-entrepreneur, he quite successfully realized himself in this field, not only preserving, but also increasing the potential of his Simbirsk factories.
The Beginning of the Solution of the Agrarian Question “from below” in the Spring of 1917 on the Example of Krasnoslobodsky Uyezd of Penza Province
Authors: Kistanov Sergey V.
Published: October 2023

Introduction. The article is devoted to the beginning of the peasants’ struggle for land in the conditions after the February revolution of 1917.

Materials and Methods. The research uses materials from the Central State Archive of the Republic of Mordovia. In the work on this study, a problem-chronological method was used, as well as a micro-historical approach to consider all-Russian events at the county level.

Results. The main content of the study is the beginning of the unfolding of the struggle of peasants with landlords for land. The peasantry, constrained by small land, by appealing to the authorities through writing sentences, seeks to pay attention to this and resolve the land issue in their favor. No less important problems of Krasnoslobodsk peasants were the lack of meadows for feeding and walking livestock, as well as numerous penalties imposed on them by landlords. These legal forms of struggle for the possession of land go in parallel with the pogroms of landlords’ estates and the removal of property and fodder from them. It is also worth noting the growing tension between local peasants and tenants from other settlements, to whom landlords leased their arable land and meadows.

Discussion and Conclusion. The study confirmed that the local peasantry is an active participant in solving the agrarian issue “from below”, and its opponents in the form of various kinds of landowners are beginning to give up their positions. At the same time, the parties are trying to appeal to the local authorities, who, basically, are trying to take the position of an outside observer, without seriously interfering in the unfolding agrarian struggle.
Laos-China Cooperation in the Construction of High Speed Railway: A Perspective of Foreign Policy
Authors: Rizqiyah Emilda , Prasodjo Haryo , Pradana Hafid Adim
Published: October 2023

This article addresses Laos' motivations for working with China on their proposed high-speed train and railway projects. Due to its lack of access to land channels, Laos chooses to conduct its commercial and tourism cooperation with China through the BRI initiative, which is China's foreign strategy in establishing relations with ASEAN nations. We use the theory of foreign policy (FPA) to address several justifications for Laos' participation in China's high-speed rail and fast train projects. We found five reasons why Laos should join China: First, China's location allows for communication with landlocked Laos through the construction of the Laos High Speed Railway; second, China's demographics can help Laos become more prosperous;  third, Laos relies on China's natural resources to match the Lao population's consumption level; fourth, China's political system has improved bilateral ties with Laos giving Laos hope that long-term collaboration may be created with China through the construction of transportation infrastructure in the form of the China-Laos High-Speed Railway; and fifth, Laos's economic prowess can assist with commerce and provide funding for growth between Laos and China.
Village Chiefs and Clientelism: A Reflection After 25 Years of Reform in Indonesia
Authors: Agustino Leo , Hikmawan M. Dian , Silas Jonah
Published: October 2023

The village chiefs in the Reform era in Indonesia were expected to transform from being servants of the state to being servants of their community. This hope was accompanied by a lot of support for regulatory changes to create economic equality for most local areas. However, 25 years after the Reform, the village chiefs still exercised great power so that they could easily influence and control the political participation of their citizens. Moreover, the village heads in the Reform era still came from the families of former or incumbent village heads who won the Pilkades because the wealth and connections that had been built for a long time with the villagers became the determinants of the victory of the old families. This article explains the efforts of village heads to maintain their influence so that they continue to be elected in every village head election because the power relations possessed by the old elites are still very influential for exchanging benefits as providers of life and as electoral assets. The art required data were collected in three selected villages such as Sagaherang Kidul Village, Sagalaherang Kaler Village, and Dayeuhkolot Village in Subang Regency, West Java, using a qualitative approach with descriptive method.

The emergence of a wide range of antibiotic-resistant infectious bacteria, associated with antibiotic-related malpractice, has triggered alarms of different health agencies, which are inviting healthcare professionals to practice the conscious prescription of these medications and to implement epidemiological surveillance of resistant bacteria. Among the strategies to improve antibiotic prescription, there are educational approaches aimed to update knowledge and generate consciousness regarding the appropriate use of antibiotics. In dentistry, several studies have shown frequent errors on antibiotic stewardship, either prescribed for unnecessary clinical cases or administered prophylactically in healthy individuals. This highlights the need to deliver knowledge tools on conscious antibiotic prescription in a clear and concise manner. Through a reflective and up-to-date writing, this book will facilitate the comprehension of basic concepts that will allow dentists and future dentists to associate the effect of antibiotics to pathogen bacteria and the resistance mechanisms they develop, as well as the key elements on appropriate antibiotic prescription. Subsequently, dentists will comprehend the type of infections and clinical cases requiring antibiotic prescription, prevention on unnecessary administration of antibiotics of broad and moderate spectrum, complementary tests which are useful in diagnosis and legal aspects on antibiotic prescription.
THE SPECIFICS OF THE PROFESSIONAL ACTIVITIES OF RUSSIAN MERCHANTS IN CENTRAL ASIA IN THE LATE IMPERIAL PERIOD (ACCORDING TO THE MEMOIRS OF NIKOLAY A. VARENTSOV)
Authors:   Orenburg State Pedagogical University, Аbdrakhmanov K. A.
Published: October 2023

The paper describes the business trip of the Moscow merchant Nikolay A. Varentsov to Central Asia in 1891 from the perspective of the history of everyday life. The published memoirs of Varentsov served as the basis of the study. Certain aspects of the daily life of Russian merchants, presented in these ego-materials, have not yet become the object of research, which makes the presented work valuable. In addition to these materials, other documents were used in the study, including those of personal origin (diaries, travel notes, historical and geographical essays, etc.), which logically supplement and confirm Varentsov's story about the specifics of solving business problems in the Asian direction. The purpose of the study is to identify and analyze the features of the life of Russian merchants in the urban environment of the khanates of Central Asia in the late 19th century during their visits on trade matters. The author of the memoir went on his journey reluctantly, sharing the idea common among Russian people that Asia was a very distant and dangerous place. Varentsov emphasized the problem of recruiting employees for managerial positions, which was relevant for businessmen. While inspecting the Central Asian representative offices of the Moscow Commercial and Industrial Association, located in different towns of the region, the visitor learned about the dangers to the traveler posed by wild animals and robbers. Participating in negotiations with local merchants and representatives of the administration, Varentsov, despite his will, experienced certain traditions of the Turkic peoples. The research showed a number of differences between the conditions of professional activities of merchants who traded with the Asian khanates during the period of their independence, and entrepreneurs operating in the late 19th century. For example, by the time of Varentsov’s trip, camels, which had previously been the only transport capable of delivering merchants and their goods to the markets of Central Asia, had already lost their leading positions to rail transport.
Transnational Crimes Against Intellectual Property and the Criminal Jurisdiction of the Russian Federation
Authors: Titov Sergei
Published: October 2023

The share of crimes connected with the use of the Internet is growing. Modern information and telecommunication technologies not only provide new opportunities for the development of trade and other sectors of the economy, but also make it easier to commit transnational crimes, for example, in the sphere of intellectual property. The specific feature of such crimes is that they are committed in the quasi-space and oriented towards an unlimited number of intellectual products consumers. The location of the perpetrator and means of committing a crime are not of primary importance. As the same time, the key principle of the action of criminal laws is the territorial one, based on the sovereignty of a state within its borders. As a result, it is necessary to say that the existing legal mechanisms are not sufficiently effective. Criminal theory and the practice of law enforcement, as well as the criminal-jurisdiction activity are not ready for a rapid development of the technologies of data transfer that render crimes instantaneous and border-free. The most urgent issue for scientific research is the application of criminal law in cases when a crime is committed abroad by persons who are not Russian citizens. The author used a comparative legal method, studied the materials of court practice and international legal documents. It is concluded that the problem should be solved by widening the extraterritoriality of criminal law. At the same time, under the existing international law conditions, the creation of a global criminal legal order is a utopian idea. The extension of the universal principle on crimes against intellectual property does not seem to be expedient since this principle is primarily oriented at crimes that infringe on the international legal order. The most promising solution to this problem seems to be the «effects» doctrine and the extension of the application of the real principle. The former makes it possible to prosecute persons who are not citizens of the Russian Federation and committed crimes outside the territory of the country when these crimes lead to consequences on the territory of the country. The real principle makes it possible to prosecute persons who committed crimes abroad if these crimes infringe on the rights of Russian citizens or the security of the state.
Partial reinforcement increases resistance to extinction of operant task in mice trained with a clicker
Authors: Górecki Marcin , Kiełtyka-Kurc Agata , Solarska Natalia
Published: October 2023

Learning skills are very important in terms of animal chance of survival in nature. Results of training of kept animals and studies on their learning can enlarge our understanding of their skills. The clicker training is a popular form of training of many animal species, consisting of associating a neutral stimulus (a click) with a reward. In our paper we examined if the used reinforcement scheme has an influence on the extinction of learned behaviour. Forty female house mice Mus musculus were divided into 2 groups of 20 subjects towards which two separate rewarding schemes were used. For completing a learned activity, the mice from the A group received a reward after each click (continuous reinforcement), and the mice from the B group only after the second or the third click (partial reinforcement). Afterwards, at the extinction phase the mice were receiving none reinforcement. Our results showed that the mice which were given only partial reinforcement were more resistant to the extinction of learned behaviour, i. e. performed significantly more attempts to obtain a reward.

The city – a modern jungle, where not cellulose and photosynthesis but concrete and combustion reign supreme. The question now being asked by urban planners, governments, and scientists is if it may stay like that and if it can stay like that or if it has to stay like that. Social, economic, cultural, historical, and legal factors are determinants in the ecology of urban ecosystems. Even well-managed cities are usually hostile toward non-human inhabitants. Furthermore, as with any complex system, the equilibrium is fragile, even if it exists. This publication outlines the co-evolution and ecology of humans and other species in the cities, their importance, and perspectives.

In February 2021 a valve of Rangia cuneata – a clam native to North America, was found in a new location on the Polish coast in Ustka Bay. After first records of this clam in Europe in 2005 in Belgium and then in 2010 in the Baltic Sea (Russian part of the Vistula Lagoon), an increasing number of new observations have been reported since. This indicates an effective dispersal of this alien species in the Baltic waters.

Introduction: Mexico has a high prevalence of work stress; mental health professionals are a vulnerable group who experience demanding environments that place their own mental health at risk. Objective: The present study aimed to evaluate the work-related stress levels and development of psychopathology in mental health professionals of a tertiary-level psychiatric hospital in Mexico City. Methods: The study included 90 mental health professionals, utilizing two questionnaires: (1) to analyze the level of occupational stress, the Stress Work Instrument (SWI) for Mexican physicians was employed; and (2) for symptomatic distress, the Symptom Checklist-90-Revised (SCL-90-R) was applied. Two theoretical assumptions’ (‘Effort-Reward’ for Karasek and “Effort-Reward Imbalance” for Siegrist) were used to propose an analytical model based on structural equations. Results: The model obtained showed a high and positive structural coefficient (0.76). The goodness-of-fit for the model was acceptable (χ2 = 51.22, p = .02; CFI = .97; RMSEA = 0.08). This study showed a causal explanation for the generation of distress, and the model detected a strong and significant effect from work stress to distress. Conclusion: We conclude that the model obtained predicts a significant effect of work-related stress on mental health such as anxiety, depression, somatization, and feelings of inadequacy in mental health professionals. Therefore, work-related stress factors should be minimized thus preventing distress to ensure that psychiatric personnel enjoy physical and mental health enabling them for efficient and professional clinical practice.
Evaluation of common bean genotypes against root rot complex pathogens in West Hararghe, Eastern Ethiopia
Authors: Abdela Usmael , Meseret Elias
Published: October 2023

Common bean root rot caused by different fungal pathogens is an important disease affecting common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) production and productivity. In Ethiopia, this disease has become one of the most destructive biotic constraints to common bean production. Information on common bean root rot disease management is lacking for the Ethiopian common bean production system in general and West Hararghe in particular. Therefore, in the 2018 main cropping season, a field experiment was performed on 19 common bean varieties in two research fields, the ‘Bareda and Oda Baso’ farmers’ training centers. The experiment was designed to evaluate the level of resistance of a common bean genotype against root rot complex pathogens under natural conditions using a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) design with three replications. The levels of resistance were evaluated based on seedling emergence, disease incidence, and severity in parallel with grain yield data and subjected to analysis of variance (ANOVA). Based on the laboratory results, four pathogenic fungi, namely, Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. Phaseoli (F. o. f. sp. Phaseoli), Rhizoctonia solani (R. soni), Sclerotium rolfsii (S. rolfsii), and Macrophomina phaseolina (M. phaseolina), a Nematode sp., and stem maggot insect were identified. The combined analysis of variance showed very highly significant variation at (p < 0.0001) across the location. There was also very highly significant variation (p < 0.0001) among treatments except for seedling emergence, incidence, and severity, which were highly significant (p < 0.001). From the experiment, seven common bean varieties (Kufanzik, Roba, Hirna, SeR-125, Cranscope, Tinike, Awash-1) that showed resistance characteristics and two susceptible varieties (Choire and Argane) were selected and recommended.
Integral Agroforestal plot with Sapindus saponaria associated with aromatic and medicinal species to conserve the ecosystems
Authors: J Jhoncon , S Poma , N Trinidad , Y Zeballos , G Quiroz
Published: October 2023

The propagation and processing of Sapindus saponaria, (Boliche) and Caesalpinea spinosa (Tara) will make it possible to manage ecosystems sustainably, obtaining biological soap and natural dyes and contribute to the fight against climate change, since plant cover is increased and to the capture of CO2, reducing the pressure of greenhouse gases, increasing the production of oxygen and at the same time generating industry for the production of biodegradable cleaning and beauty products. The incorporation of Caesalpinea spinosa (Tara) interspersed with S. saponaria allowed the contribution of its fruits to the productivity of the plot, since from its fruits we obtain tannins for tanning, natural dye, and gums for the food industry. Continuing with the practice of agroforestry, aromatic and medicinal species such as Aloe vera (Sábila), Chrysopogon zizanioides (Vetiver), and Cymbopogon citratus (Lemongrass) were placed between the two tree species. By means of Soxhlet extraction with ethanol, the soap and the dyes that were used as ingredients of the biological shampoo were obtained. Using a homemade steam distiller, the extraction of essential oils from the aromatic and medicinal species was achieved. The project began under Resolution N° 0448-2009-R-UNE, which authorized the reforestation of the Universidad Nacional de Educación Enrique Guzman y Valle (UNE) and surrounding areas with native plant species. The strategy used was that of the Biology and Ecology students acting as godmothers and godfathers of the trees considered in the project.

An Analysis of Humanimalia in Octavia Butler’s Clay’s Ark
Authors: Lavanya S. , Sangeetha V.
Published: October 2023

Octavia Estelle Butler can be considered a visionary writer from many perspectives. The prominent science and speculative fiction writer is known for her afrofuturistic tropes. Her novels reflect relevance in today’s scenario in myriad ways. Clay’s Ark (1984) is a part of the Patternist Series. In this novel, Butler envisioned a humanity plagued by an alien microbe from another star named Proxima Centauri. The novel traces the spread of the pandemic caused by the Clay’s Ark microbe resulting in hybrid children who mix human and animal characteristics. Butler chose the trope of the alien microbe in a very different yet believable way. The hybrid children are the next stage of evolution in Butler’s Patternists world. The aim of this paper is to explore the hybrid identities caused by the pandemic in Octavia Butler’s Clay’s Ark through the lens of biopolitics of difference and to reflect on the metaphorical significance of the same.

Multi – fuzzy set theory is an extension of fuzzy set theory. In this paper, we define the multi fuzzy ideals of Г - near ring. Also, the notion of anti multi fuzzy ideals of a Г - near ring is introduced and investigated some related properties. This concept of multi fuzzy ideals of a Г - near ring is a generalization of the concept of fuzzy ideals in Г - near rings. Also, we define the multi-level subsets and multi anti level subsets of a multi fuzzy sub Г - near ring of a Г- near ring. In this paper we define the multi level subset and multi anti level subset of AUB. The purpose of this study establishes the algebra of multi fuzzy Г- near ring.

Published: October 2023

BACKGROUND: According to the literature, the absence of pattern vision in the outcome of open wounds of the eyeball is observed in 2530% of cases, and in the presence of large wounds with multiple injuries of intraocular structures, it is 6180%.
AIM: to present the results of expanded microsurgical treatment of large penetrating corneoscleral and scleral wounds involving the zone III, to evaluate the results of the given algorithm for severe penetrating injury care.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Presented are the results of treatment of 24 patients with large penetrating corneoscleral and scleral wounds, massive hemophthalmos, and other injuries. All patients underwent primary microsurgical treatment according to a modified, expanded algorithm, which, in addition to suturing the fibrous capsule of the eye, included subtotal vitrectomy, primary treatment of retinal and choroidal wounds, the use of autologous conditioned plasma (P-PRP) , tamponade with silicone oil or a gas-air mixture.
RESULTS: Evaluation of treatment results was carried out on day 3, after 1 and 6 months. Special attention was paid to the identification of signs of proliferative vitreoretinopathy as most important in terms of prognosis. After 6 months, visual acuity above 0.1 was noted in 10 patients, 0.020.09 in 12, absence of pattern vision in 2. Signs of development and progression of PVR during 6 months were noted in 7 patients (29.2%), of which repeated surgeries were performed in 5 cases.
CONCLUSIONS: The new advanced algorithm of primary microsurgical treatment allows to improve functional results in severe cases of penetrating eye injury.

Dynamics of retinal perfusion parameters in patients with post-COVID syndrome
Authors: Turgel Vadim A. , Tultseva Svetlana N.
Published: October 2023

BACKGROUND: A major current health issue is the rehabilitation of patients who previously had a coronavirus infection (COVID-19), as well as the treatment of patients with post-COVID syndrome. For a long time after COVID-19, patients may have complaints, including vision-related ones. One of the theories is that this may be due to long-term persistent microcirculatory retinal changes.
AIM: To assess the long-term dynamics of retinal microcirculation changes in patients with post-COVID syndrome and to evaluate the relationship of these parameters with visual functions.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: The main group consisting of 41 patients (82 eyes) was divided into groups depending on the severity of COVID-19: mild, moderate and severe. The control group included 13 people (26 eyes) who did not have COVID-19 to the time of the examination. All patients underwent an ophthalmological examination, including low-contrast visual acuity testing and optical coherence tomography-angiography. Vessel density (VD) was examined within the superficial capillary plexus (SCP), deep capillary plexus (DCP), and radial peripapillary capillaries (RPC). The following structural indicators were also measured: the retinal thickness, the retinal nerve fiber layer thickness and the ganglion cell complex. All patients were examined twice: 6 weeks after COVID-19 and in 27 weeks (6 months after the first visit).
RESULTS: Patients who went through moderately severe and severe COVID-19 showed a significant decrease in low-contrast visual acuity in comparison to the control group at Visit 1 (p .001 in both cases), which totally recovered to the Visit 2. In the same group of patients, there was a significant decrease in VD SCP (p .001) and VD DCP (p .001) in comparison to the control group, and these parameters significantly decreased at visit 2 (p .001 in both cases). In the group of patients with moderate COVID-19, there was also a decrease in VD SCP and VD DCP in comparison to the control group (p .001 in both cases), while the indicators remained stable during 6 months of follow-up (p = .082). There were no significant changes in VD RPC and main morphometric parameters during 6 months of follow-up.
CONCLUSIONS: In patients with COVID-19 from moderate severity to severe, there is a significant decrease in contrast sensitivity, which is temporary and fully recovers after 6 months. In patients with severe COVID-19, there was a negative dynamic of retinal perfusion during 6 months, both in deep and superficial capillary plexuses. Patients with post-COVID syndrome, or those who have had COVID-19 and present with visual complaints, need a deep ophthalmological examination including optical coherence tomography-angiography, with a possible involvement of related specialists.

Este trabajo presenta de forma resumida el diseño y los resultados obtenidos en un proyecto de innovación educativa orientado a introducir de forma multidisciplinar los objetivos de desarrollo sostenible (ODS) en el ámbito del grado de Ingeniería en Electrónica Industrial y Automática. El proyecto se ha realizado a lo largo del curso 2022/23 en la Escuela de Ingeniería de Vitoria-Gasteiz, UPV/EHU (EIVG), y se han aplicado metodologías activas. A la hora de implantar estas metodologías se recomienda utilizar problemas relacionados con el mudo real que además sean cercanos al alumnado. Concretamente, se planteó el problema de optimizar el grado de confort térmico en el edificio de la EIVG y al mismo tiempo reducir el gasto energético. Este problema sirvió de hilo conductor para que el alumnado lo analizase desde diferentes perspectivas, conociese los ODS y visualizara cómo contribuir a su consecución, a través de acciones concretas, utilizando los conocimientos adquiridos durante el grado. Para fomentar el conocimiento multidisciplinar se analizó el problema por medio de acciones seleccionadas realizadas en diferentes asignaturas. Durante el proyecto se diseñó un itinerario educativo que cubre todos los cursos del grado. Los resultados obtenidos prueban que el proyecto permitió concienciar al alumnado acerca de los ODS, así como ilustrar cómo se puede contribuir a su consecución desde los estudios de ingeniería. Además, se consiguió conectar con acciones de mayor calado desarrolladas en el ámbito de los TFG. Por último, se pretendió concienciar al alumnado acerca de que la consecución de los ODS puede constituir un posible futuro campo profesional.
