Створення харківської міської лікувально-санітарної організації як впливовий чинник поліпшення якості життя містян наприкінці ХІХ – на початку ХХ століть
Authors: Робак І. Ю. , Демочко Г. Л.
Published: February 2025

У статті розглядається вплив удосконалення медичної допомоги й санітарного впорядження в Харкові наприкінці ХІХ – на початку ХХ століть на якість життя його мешканців. Метою статті є доведення того факту, що створення міської лікувально-сані- тарної організації стало потужним чинником поліпшення якості життя харківців. У статті категорія «якість життя» пов’язується із сучасними науковими концепціями HRQoL і Urban Health. Пристосовуючи сучасні показники цих концепцій до соціальної історії ме- дицини Харкова, автори аналізують, як з історичним поступом міської охорони здоров’я і поліпшенням санітарного стану змінювались пов’язані з ними характеристики громад- ського здоров’я, головні з яких є одночасно й характеристиками якості життя. Дотепер науковці не розглядали історико-медичні проблеми Харкова саме в такому ключі. Стаття теоретична, має історико-медичний характер, проте охоплює широке міждисциплінарне поле. Міждисциплінарний характер розвідки наклав відбиток на використання методів дослідження. В ньому суто історичні та краєзнавчі методи інтегруються з методами тих наук, що входять до цієї міждисциплінарної предметної галузі (медичних, економічних, демографії, екології, географії). Простеживши зміну таких показників якості життя, як забезпеченість населення лікарями, середнім медичним персоналом, аптечними послугами, чисельність лікарів і середнього медичного персоналу, рівень смертності, медико-еколо- гічні характеристики, автори дійшли висновку, що зі створенням у тогочасному Харкові модерної моделі надання медичної допомоги населенню і санітарного впорядження міста якість життя його мешканців суттєво поліпшилась.

Contribution of Olga Mechnykova to medical science
Authors: Gamaliia V. M. , Ruda S. P.
Published: February 2025

When conducting historical and scientific research, the figures of women who made a significant contribution to science appear quite often. Women scientists were engaged not only in research activities. They took part in scientific expeditions, learned future specialists, carried out active organizational and popularization work. Sometimes women became authors of new progressive ideas and founded their own scientific schools. In this connection scientific activities of female investigators like M. V. Pavlova, V. Y. Bilai, O. I. Smirnova-Zamkova, S. M. Pereyaslavtseva, O. M. Khokhol, K. G. Beltiukova are highlighted. A special attention worth married couples engaged in joint research activities. A clear examples of such cooperation (French physicists Marie and Pierre Curie, native couple Oleksandr and Natalia Yanata) are mentioned. Meanwhile women often helped their husbands by sharing scientific interests. Among them the wife of Ilya Mechnikov – Olga Mykolaivna – takes a rightful place. It should be noted that very often the role of women in performing scientific research was out from the attention of historians of science. And Olga Mechnikova is a classic example of this. Meanwhile, this woman not only helped and supported the work of her husband, but also conducted active research activities herself. Her life was completely devoted to science and people. The proposed article presents the life path of Olga Mechnikova – a wife, faithful friend and colleague, an attentive biographer of her husband. Olga Mykolaivna’s contribution to the practical implementation of Ilya Mechnikov’s achievements and conducting joint scientific research with him in the field of developing methods of biological control of pests in agricultural plants, ways of overcoming tuberculosis diseases, and the initiation of gnotobiology are shown. The practical activity of Olga Mykolaivna in clarifying the role of phagocytes in the destruction of bacteria during vaccination is highlighted. Particular attention is paid to the medical practice of Olga Mechnikova in providing medical care to both Ukrainian peasants and patients of the Pasteur Institute. The authors of the article did not avoid another sphere of activity of Olga Mechnikova, which is related to the field of art. The role of this extraordinary personality as a capable sculptor and artist is emphasized.
Cellular Automaton Approach for the Urban Planning Influence Estmation on the Social and Economic Indicators while a Disease Spreading
Authors: Elistratov Stepan Alekseevich
Published: February 2025

The aim was to investigate how does a city configuration influence on a lethal disease spread. For this purpose, several configurations for subareas with high and low population density are considered. The spread was simulated via a stochastic cellular automata approach, with the main indicators being determined as average over a set of runnings. Since the automaton was based on a SIRS model, as an economic indicator we used the simultaneous sick number, as a social – cumulative dead number. In addition, we considered Manshift losses as a cost loss parameter. The simulation results yield that for the minimal dead number and economic losses it is preferable to use a regular grid of square-shaped low-density subareas. Despite the model suggested indicates that the city planning is important for the pandemic damage minimization which can be reduced due to smart urban development policy.
H1: Hybrid Retrieval System for Product Search in E-Commerce
Authors: Krasnov Fedor Vladimirovich
Published: February 2025

This paper presents the effectiveness of using the H1 system for retrieving products from various vendors in the marketplace. The H1 system is a hybrid model that combines the benefits of lexical-based and semantic-based retrieval techniques, similar to other state-of-the-art product retrieval systems. The novelty of this approach lies in its combination of token-level retrievals. The advantage of the H1 system over other existing solutions is its ability to handle complex search queries containing brands with multi-word brands. For example, search queries like "new balance sneakers" and "Gloria Jeans children's clothing" will be split into separate tokens "new balance" and "Gloria Jeans", respectively, which helps reduce the retrieval model's size and improves its autonomous performance. The H1 system achieved mAP@12 score of 56.1% and R@1K score of 86.6% on the public WANDS dataset, outperforming other state-of-the-art models. These results demonstrate the effectiveness of the approach and its potential for improving product search experiences for online shoppers.

Open-Source MLIR-Based Intermediate Representation for Applica-tion-Specific Streaming Computers
Authors: Kamkin Alexander Sergeevich , Litvinov Mikhail Yurievich , Grigorov Ivan Aleksandrovich
Published: February 2025

Recently, heterogeneous computer systems have been widely used to solve computational tasks with strict constraints on performance (throughput) and power consumption. Typically, such systems consist of general-purpose microprocessors and FPGA-based hardware accelerators implementing the most expensive operations (which are usually application-specific ones). This article is devoted to the design automation of hardware accelerators for streaming data computing. The features of this type of accelerators (and the problems they solve) are as follows: (1) continuous (cycle-by-cycle) reception and production of data; (2) bounded (in time and memory) output-input dependence. Streaming data computing covers a wide range of applications, including digital signal processing, traffic encryption, numerical modeling, bioinformatics, etc. The paper introduces the concept of DFCIR (DataFlow Computer Intermediate Representation), а language for an intermediate representation of streaming data computing designs. The DFCIR language is based on the open compiler infrastructure MLIR (Multi-Level Intermediate Representation). RTL models of accelerators are built from DFCIR descriptions with the use of CIRCT (Circuit IR Compilers and Tools), a subproject of MLIR that combines tools for working with hardware designs.
Effective Method with Compression for Distributed and Federated Cocoercive Variational Inequalities
Authors: Medyakov Daniil Olegovich , Molodtsov Gleb Lvovich , Beznosikov Aleksandr Nikolaevich
Published: February 2025

Variational inequalities as an effective tool for solving applied problems, including machine learning tasks, have been attracting more and more attention from researchers in recent years. The use of variational inequalities covers a wide range of areas – from reinforcement learning and generative models to traditional applications in economics and game theory. At the same time, it is impossible to imagine the modern world of machine learning without distributed optimization approaches that can significantly speed up the training process on large amounts of data. However, faced with the high costs of communication between devices in a computing network, the scientific community is striving to develop approaches that make computations cheap and stable. In this paper, we investigate the compression technique of transmitted information and its application to the distributed variational inequalities problem. In particular, we present a method based on advanced techniques originally developed for minimization problems. For the new method, we provide an exhaustive theoretical convergence analysis for cocoersive strongly monotone variational inequalities. We conduct experiments that emphasize the high performance of the presented technique and confirm its practical applicability.

Ternstroemia kobuskii (Pentaphylacaceae), a new canopy tree species to the Brazilian Atlantic Rainforest
Authors: Vieira Jaqueline Alves , Monzoli João Victor Longhi , Sampaio Daniela
Published: February 2025

Abstract Here, we describe a new species of Ternstroemia (Pentaphylacaceae) from the Brazilian Atlantic Rainforest. Ternstroemia kobuskii differs from other extra-Amazonian species of Ternstroemia due to its height, reaching up to 28 meters, corresponding to a canopy tree, and its fruit, which is circumscissile-dehiscent, 3-locular, with 1-2 seeds per locule. Ternstroemia kobuski populations are limited to few specimens and a small number of localities in high-altitude slope forests, such as Santa Teresa (state of Espírito Santo) and Tabuleiro Forests, such as Una, and Belmonte (state of Bahia).
Value Preferences Estimation and Disambiguation in Hybrid Participatory Systems
Authors: Liscio Enrico , Siebert Luciano C. , Jonker Catholijn M. , Murukannaiah Pradeep K.
Published: February 2025

Understanding citizens’ values in participatory systems is crucial for citizen-centric policy-making. We envision a hybrid participatory system where participants make choices and provide motivations for those choices, and AI agents estimate their value preferences by interacting with them. We focus on situations where a conflict is detected between participants’ choices and motivations, and propose methods for estimating value preferences while addressing detected inconsistencies by interacting with the participants. We operationalize the philosophical stance that “valuing is deliberatively consequential.” That is, if a participant’s choice is based on a deliberation of value preferences, the value preferences can be observed in the motivation the participant provides for the choice. Thus, we propose and compare value preferences estimation methods that prioritize the values estimated from motivations over the values estimated from choices alone. Then, we introduce a disambiguation strategy that combines Natural Language Processing and Active Learning to address the detected inconsistencies between choices and motivations. We evaluate the proposed methods on a dataset of a large-scale survey on energy transition. The results show that explicitly addressing inconsistencies between choices and motivations improves the estimation of an individual’s value preferences. The disambiguation strategy does not show substantial improvements when compared to similar baselines—however, we discuss how the novelty of the approach can open new research avenues and propose improvements to address the current limitations.

Published: February 2025

Objective. To study blood clotting factors (von Willebrand factor, factors VIII, IX, XI) as possible predictors of unfavorable outcomes, particularly, myocardial infarction, in patients with chronic lower limb ischemia due to stable peripheral artery disease. Material and methods. The study included 52 patients, median age was 61 (55; 66) years; 42 (82.7%) patients were male. Within a year, 3 (6%) patients were newly diagnosed with cancer; 4 (8%) patients developed myocardial infarction. There were no cases of lower limb thrombosis, stroke or lethal outcomes. Results. vWF and factor IX activity was increased up to 300% (160; 300) and 175% (124; 239), respectively. However, it was not associated with any of the aforementioned outcomes (p>0.05). Subjects with factor XI activity over 142% had a 9-fold higher risk of myocardial infarction (RR 9, CI 95% 1.023—79.171). Patients with previous myocardial infarction had a 2.6-fold higher risk of repeated infarction within a year (RR 2.6, CI 95% 1.031—6.599). Conclusion. In patients with stable peripheral atherosclerosis, activity of vWF and factor IX is increased. The probability of acute myocardial infarction in patients with intermittent claudication depends on baseline activity of factor XI (higher activity of factor XI means higher probability of myocardial infarction). Previous infarction in patients with peripheral atherosclerosis increases the risk of recurrent myocardial infarction.

Published: February 2025

Dimethylarginine Dimethylaminohydrolase 1 (DDAH1) is an essential enzyme capable of degrading asymmetric dimethylarginine, which is an endogenous inhibitor of nitric oxide synthase. Increased expression of DDAH1 and subsequent increased NO production are associated with carcinogenesis. In particular, DDAH1 is involved in the creation of a vascular network by tumor cells, vasculogenic mimicry, which is closely associated with tumor progression and poor patient prognosis. This is the reason why DDAH1 may be a potential therapeutic target for the treatment of cancer.
Regional Interpretation of Kansas Aeromagnetic Data
Authors: Yarger Harold
Published: February 2025

The Kansas Geological Survey has completed a 72,000 line-kilometer aeromagnetic survey of Kansas. The map of total-intensity-magnetic-field contours provides, along with spectrally filtered versions, a better understanding of basement composition and paleotectonics within the state.
The magnetic data indicate that the southern part of the Proterozoic Central North American Rift System (CNARS) does not terminate in central Kansas, but continues along a southeastern trend to at least the Kansas-Oklahoma border. Some of the current seismicity within the State appears to be correlated with reactivated faults within the CNARS.
A distinct (paleoplate?) boundary between the 1600-1700 million year (m.y.)-old-mesozonal granitic terrane to the north and the ~1400 m.y.-old-epizonal granitic terrane to the south is indicated in central Kansas.
Numerous highly magnetic, shallow, granitic plutons, several known from drilling to be ~1350 m.y. old, are intruded into the older granitic crust in northeastern Kansas.
Movement and aquifer contamination potential of atrazine and inorganic chemicals in central Kansas croplands

Published: February 2025

We conducted flooding experiments at two sites with different soils to study the transport and fate of the commonly used herbicide atrazine and inorganic chemicals in the Great Bend Prairie croplands. To characterize in situ the hydraulic and chemical properties of the appropriately instrumented field sites, we used the instantaneous profile method supplemented by means of an organic (atrazine) and an inorganic (bromide) tracer chemical. Atrazine readily hydrolyzed into hydroxyatrazine and biodegraded to ethylatrazine and isopropylatrazine, thus explaining why atrazine was not detected deeper in the soil profile and in the underlying shallow aquifer. The classical processes of chemical movement based on equilibrium conditions and diffuse flow through porous media did not fit the data well at either site. Incompletely mixed slug flow predominates at one of the sites, and preferential flow predominates at the other. As a result of the observed slug movement, piston-type displacement of more saline solutions in the soil profile to the shallow water table occurred. Relatively high nitrate concentrations in both the vadose and the saturated zone were observed in one of the sites, which is characterized by sandy soil. The nitrate data indicate a close relationship between nitrogen fertilizer application, irrigation, and nitrate movement into the subsurface.

Fleshing Out the Invisible: Activating Social Empathy Through the Material
Authors: Loftus Maria , Murphy Fiona
Published: February 2025

This article begins with the material—objects that hold stories, reveal histories, and provoke sensibilities. Ordinary Treasures: Objects From Home is a short film that foregrounds these materialities as a form of everyday activism (Chatterton & Pickerill, 2010), tracing how displaced individuals become visible through what they hold dear. In this cinematic work, international protection applicants and refugees craft an evocative narrative around the singular object each brought from home, invoking “thick solidarity” (Liu & Shange, 2018; Maillot et al., 2023). It is the material—small, mundane, yet profoundly resonant—that animates these narratives and disrupts the apparent divide between what is visible and what is not. The film’s anonymous participants emerge in fragments: hands in motion, shadows cast, voices layering against a backdrop of an original score that samples their stories. This fragmented presence centres both the material and the relationality at its core, revealing the co‐presence of the visible and the unseen, of the tangible and the unspoken. Motivated by rising anti‐immigrant rhetoric in Ireland (Vieten & Poynting, 2022), the film seeks to cultivate “relationships of discomfort” (Boudreau Morris, 2016), unsettling the frames of ignorance and challenging the boundary work of exclusion. This article aims to examine the materialities evoked by the film, the processes of their cinematic articulation, and their impact on audiences. Anchored in shared imaginings, co‐creation, and a desire to foster social empathy, Ordinary Treasures becomes an uneasy yet vital form of solidarity (Roediger, 2016). It stands as a creative interruption, offering an alternative vision of everyday activism in an Ireland grappling with the rise of populism. In this article, we will trace how these materialities themselves give rise to theoretical frameworks, shaping and reshaping our understanding of their entanglements. These are not static systems but emergent dynamics, unsettling assumptions and holding space for new solidarities to form.
Non-destructive testing of hollowing defects in external wall tiles
Authors: Chen Yu-xin , Cui Bo-lun , Chen Jin-bo , Cao Peng , Wang Chi
Published: February 2025

A non-contact inspection method incorporating acoustic-optical fusion is proposed in this paper to detect hollowing defects in external wall tiles in order to overcome the practical problems of traditional contact detection methods. Based on laser speckle interferometry (LSI) technology,
this approach employs audio loading to detect hollowing in the wall structure. In this paper, the ceramic tile above the hollowing is equivalent to a circular thin plate with peripheral fixed support. Following Kirchhoff’s classical theory of the circular plate, the circular plate displacement
function based on the improved Fourier series is employed for theoretical modelling. The theoretical natural frequencies of the circular plate under peripheral fixed support boundaries are derived and compared with finite element simulation results, a theoretical mapping model of the structure
vibration signals and the laser speckle signal is established and the phase difference change diagram and Bessel interference fringe pattern are derived. The result indicates the accuracy of the vibration theoretical model based on the classical Kirchhoff circular plate theory. Subsequently,
an experimental system is established and non-destructive testing experiments for hollowing defect inspection are conducted based on theoretical predictions. Different acoustic parameters are used to excite the wall sample and interference fringe patterns are obtained through use of a laser
speckle interferometer. The results indicate that the experiment result is consistent with the theoretical result and the fringe pattern near the theoretical solution value of the natural frequency is more pronounced, confirming the effectiveness and feasibility of the non-destructive testing
technique for characterising hollowing defects based on laser speckle interferometry.

Advanced imaging and surgical field have improved treatment and management of unstable thoracolumbar spine fractures significantly. Its emergence is boosting surgical accuracy, efficiency and its use has increased patient recovery rate. This systematic analysis is conducted to explore how these technologies affect functional, neurological and postoperative outcomes. Our aim is to evaluate and investigate previous evidences and various studies. This systematic analysis will be based entirely on retrospective analyses, randomized controlled trials, and other systematic reviews. While conducting methodology, we assessed several factors like pedicle screw placement accuracy, surgery time, radiation exposure and noted overall patient outcomes across different navigation systems like intraoperative CT navigation (iCT-Nav), 3D navigation, and augmented reality. The primary results of this systematic review revealed pedicle screw placement accuracy was high (up to 96.9% with iCT-Nav), with fewer revision surgeries needed. 3D navigation reduced fluoroscopy time significantly (p=0.0002) while still maintaining accuracy and evidence confirmed these techniques also helped lower blood loss (p<0.05) and improved spinal alignment without adding significant time to the surgery. Evidence showed radiation exposure remained an issue with varying levels of dose-length product (DLP) but it was dependent on the complexity of the procedures. Conservative management failed in 9.2% of cases while long-segment stabilization helped prevent further vertebral fractures. After all these results, we came to a conclusion that advanced imaging and navigation technologies have revolutionized thoracolumbar fracture management because its use has improved accuracy and patient outcomes which is confirmed. These technologies are also seen to reduce the need for revision surgeries and made minimally invasive surgeries more effective and also helped stabilize the spine in the long term. The challenges linked to these procedures are radiation exposure, standardization and costs which need to be carefully handled and need attention. Future research should explore what the role of artificial intelligence is and how it can work to bring maximum outcomes while making these technologies more accessible is also critical.
Comparative efficacy of trichloroacetic acid combined with silver nitrate and cryotherapy in treating plantar warts study in Military Medical Specialty Center
Authors: Mohamed Zainab , Aloukati Ziad , Al-Ghanem Rafea M.
Published: February 2025

Background: Warts are benign growths that affect the skin and mucous membranes. Comparative studies evaluating the efficacy of trichloroacetic acid (TCA), silver nitrate, and cryotherapy for treating plantar warts reveals distinct advantages for each treatment modality. Objectives were to determine the comparative efficacy of TCA with silver nitrate and cryotherapy in treating planter warts.
Methods:  It was a descriptive, descriptive analytical and cross-sectional hospital-based study conducted at MMSC. Data were analyzed by statistical package for social sciences (SPSS) version 26.
Results: Among the100 participants (82% male, 18% female). The age distribution showed that most participants were between 20-29 years (34%) and 30-39 years (33%). The duration of the disease was less than 3 months for (50%) participants, while (44%) had the disease for 3-6 months. Most participants were employed (89%), aged 20-39 years (67%), and had experienced plantar warts for less than six months (94%). Both groups achieved high rates of complete resolution (82% for TCA vs. 74% for cryotherapy), though the difference was not statistically significant. Recurrence was significantly lower in the TCA group (12%) compared to the cryotherapy group (38%). Treatment duration and side effects varied significantly between groups, with TCA showing shorter treatment durations and fewer side effects. Cryotherapy was associated with higher rates of moderate and severe side effects.
Conclusions: The study demonstrates that TCA with silver nitrate is more effective and has a better safety profile than cryotherapy for the treatment of plantar warts. These findings support the recommendation of trichloroacetic acid with silver nitrate as a first-line treatment option, particularly for patients with a high risk of recurrence or those who may be sensitive to the side effects of cryotherapy. Further research with larger sample sizes and longer follow-up periods are recommended to confirm these results and assess long-term outcomes.

Fotografia prasowa od lat stanowi istotny element narracji medialnej. Trudno sobie wyobrazić jakikolwiek dziennik bez zamieszczonych w nim fotografii. Lektura opracowań dotyczących historii prasy (czy szerzej – środków masowego przekazu) pozostawia pewien niedosyt. Opisywane są tytuły, redakcje, ludzie mediów. Jednak wśród nich fotoreporterzy są na marginesie. Być może dlatego, że rzadko bywali w redakcji? Zdjęcia przecież nie powstawały przy biurkach redaktorów, a w „terenie”. Dziennikarze ci – bowiem status ten formalnie dzielili na równi z tymi „piszącymi” – gdy wracali do redakcji, to głównie po to, by zamknąć się w ciemni (cyfrowa fotografia pojawiła się dopiero w drugiej połowie pierwszej dekady lat 2000) i wywołać film. Gdy odbitki były oceniane i szykowane do druku, zazwyczaj już ich w redakcji nie było.

Upływ czasu, pęd bieżących wydarzeń, a także stale obecne niedocenianie pracy tej kategorii dziennikarzy spowodowało, że wielu z nich większości czytelników jest nieznana. Choć znane są ich – przynajmniej niektóre – utwory. Niniejszy tekst porządkuje dostępną autorowi wiedzę na temat tych osób – w większości już nieżyjących. Pierwsze przymiarki do powstania artykułu miały miejsce wiele lat temu, stąd też w części jest on oparty na relacjach samych zainteresowanych. Naturalne luki w pamięci uzupełnione są – na ile to możliwe – zachowanymi dokumentami.
