Published: January 2024

The workflow of cryopreservation is a challenging step in the standardised preparation of cell therapy products in terms of methods used (i.e., adapted controls of the work environment, quality control, reagents, and equipment). This study aimed to determine the effect of cryopreservation on the stability of mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) characteristics by comparing fresh cells with those that underwent different post-thaw cell recovery periods. The MSCs were derived from human Wharton’s jelly umbilical cord (n = 4). The cells that were cryopreserved for 7 days were revived at 0 h (CRC-0h), 24 h (CRC-24h) and 7 days (CRC-7d) and then evaluated on the basis of cell viability, doubling time, morphology, trilineage differentiation potential, growth kinetics, and MSC surface marker expression. The cell viability of the CRC-0h group was 90%, whereas that of the CRC-24h group was 80%-85%. Cell attachment results showed that CRC-24h had a notably higher attachment rate than the other two groups. The CRC groups showed CD90, CD73 or CD44 expression, which meets the minimum criteria for defining multipotent MSCs. By contrast, CD105 expression was significantly reduced in the CRC groups and was lower than the minimum requirement based on the standards of the International Society for Cellular Therapy. Results suggest that at least 24 h is necessary to improve the quality of MSCs for it to be adequate for cell therapy use.

Published: January 2024

The consumption of taro tuber as an energy source is widespread due to its composition of complex carbohydrates, including starch and non-starch polysaccharides. Glucomannan is one of the non-starch polysaccharides found in taro tuber and has been shown to be a dietary fiber with positive effects on health and beauty. The development of new varieties of taro tuber with high glucomannan content is challenging and requires significant effort in order to produce high-quality food. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the stability of glucomannan content among 14 eddoe taro tuber genotypes using parametric, non-parametric, and AMMI methods, and to determine genotypes with high glucomannan stability. The experiments were conducted in three different agro-climatic locations using a randomized full-block design. Glucomannan content of taro tuber was analyzed from a mixture of corms and cormlets harvested 5 months after planting following the gravimetric method. The combined analysis of variance for glucomannan content showed significant effects of the environment, genotypes, and G×E interaction. Genotypes S7, S35, S15, S18, S17, S34, and S24 produced glucomannan levels higher than the overall average, but genotypes S7, S17, S18, and S34 consistently displayed higher glucomannan content than the average in each experimental site. Parametric and non-parametric measurements provided comparable results. Based on parametric stability analysis, genotype S34 showed high-rank stability (Wᵢ², σ²ᵢ, CVi value). Additionally, genotypes S34 and S18 demonstrated high stability according to bᵢ, and genotypes S17 exhibited stability according to the s²dᵢ value. Non-parametric stability analysis showed that S34 was the most stable genotypes base on Nassar Huehn, Kang-Rangksum, and Thennarasu theories. Genotypes S7 was also identified as stable, according to Kang-Rangksum. The AMMI analysis indicated that genotypes S34, S17, and S7 were high glucomannan yielders, with S34 displaying wide adaptation and S17 and S7 having specific location adaptation.

Aim. To study the course of COVID-19 (COronaVIrus Disease 2019) in elderly patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML), to analyze risk factors for unfavorable outcome.

Materials and methods. The paper presents our own experience in the treatment of elderly (age ≥65 years) patients with AML and concomitant coronavirus infection in the hematology departments of City Clinical Hospital No. 52 (Moscow) from March 2020 to June 2022. The diagnosis of COVID-19 was considered confirmed based on a positive result of the polymerase chain reaction of an oropharyngeal and nasopharyngeal swab for SARS-CoV-2 and/or a typical radiological picture on a computed tomogram of the lungs.

Results. An analysis of clinical, laboratory and instrumental data of 59 patients (30 (51 %) men, 29 (49 %) women) with AML and COVID-19 was carried out. All patients were treated for COVID-19 in accordance with the Temporary guidelines “Prevention, diagnosis and treatment of new coronavirus infection (COVID-19)” of the Russian Ministry of Health. Median age was 71 (65-91) years. AML was first verified in 27 % of hospitalized patients; 12 % were in remission of the disease. A month before hospitalization, 36 % of patients received antitumor therapy, and 19 % of patients had refractory AML. 17 % of hospitalized patients received antitumor therapy with cytarabine in small doses for vital indications. Death was recorded in 64 % of cases, in 24 % the cause of death was severe COVID-19. The unfavorable outcome was influenced by addition of secondary bacterial flora, refractory AML course and elderly age of patients.

Conclusion. Pre-exposure prophylaxis with monoclonal antibodies and vaccination of patients may be the main methods of preventing infection and severe course of COVID-19.

Background. In March 2020, oncohematologists faced the problem of severe COVID-19 coronavirus infection in patients after a high-dose chemotherapy and autologous or allogeneic bone marrow transplantation. This required a review of issues related to the selection of patients for blood stem cell transplantation (HSCT), the development of new preventive and therapeutic tactics aimed at treating infectious and immunological complications in patients of this category, depending on the nature and status of the underlying disease and the timing of treatment.

Aim. To assess the severity, most typical complications and course of COVID-19 in patients during early and late posttransplant periods.

Materials and methods. We analyzed the data of patients after HSCT with active coronavirus infection hospitalized in the hematology department from 2020 to 2021. A total of 25 patients were hospitalized: 4 after allogeneic transplantation, 21 after autologous transplantation. According to the timing of HSCT, patients were divided into 2 groups: early period (ETP) (2-90 days after HSCT) - 14 patients, late period (LTP) (3-24 months after HSCT) - 11 patients.

Results. Severe coronavirus infection (grades III-IV according to computed tomography) was more often observed in patients in the ETP group (65 %) than in the LTP group (18 %). The incidence of respiratory failure was 70 and 36 % in the ETP and LTP groups, respectively. In the ETP group, agranulocytosis and the development of severe infectious complications (bacterial, fungal and viral) were observed significantly more often than in the LTP group, which required the appointment of reserve groups antibacterial therapy and antifungal therapy. Mortality in the ETP group was 35 %, while no deaths were recorded in the LTP group. The median duration of hospitalization for patients in the ETP and LTP groups was 20 and 13 days, respectively.

Conclusion. Patients early after HSCT are at higher risk of developing lower respiratory tract infections, are more likely to require hospitalization in the intensive care unit, and have a greater risk of death from COVID-19. Therapy with genetically engineered biological drugs is not contraindicated in the case of leukopenia and agranulocytosis in this group of patients.

The meaning of the right to be heard for legal communication in the civil procedure
Authors: Lukianova I. N.
Published: January 2024

To the relationship between the court and the parties is used the approach as to a communication, which allowed to identify the procedural formalities as a mechanism to ensure the rights of the party in judicial communication and justify the idea of the right to be heard as a fundamental provision of modern Russian civil procedural law. Recognized in the Russian doctrine of civil procedure law components of the right to be heard and to be heard by the court proposed to consider as corresponding to the two essentials for procedural law elements in the structure of communication — transmission of a message that has a meaning for the subjects of communication, and the intent of the sender of the message to induce his recipient to take a certain action. The manifestation of the main condition of communication — mutual recognition by the subjects of communication — in the content of the principle to be heard and heard by the court was found. The significance of the motives of judicial decision as a condition for the effectiveness of one of the elements of the structure of judicial communication is substantiated.

The 3D Physics-Based Broadband Ground-Motion Simulation, including Topography Effects Causing Damage to Structures, for the 2022 Mw 6.6 Menyuan, China, Earthquake
Authors: Ba Zhenning , Zhao Jingxuan , Zhang Yushan , Dalguer Luis A.
Published: January 2024

On 8 January 2022, Menyuan County, China, was struck by an Mw 6.6 earthquake that caused surface rupture in the epicentral area and severe damage to an important railway bridge. The earthquake was recorded by only one strong-motion station, which presents a challenge for quantitatively estimating the extent of the ground-motion distribution caused by this event. In this study, the spectral element method (SPECFEM3D code), which solves the elastodynamic equations and can capture the full physics of seismic-wave propagation, is employed for broadband (0–10 Hz) ground-motion simulations of this earthquake. A hybrid kinematic source is developed in which the final slip distribution combines a prescribed asperity model based on Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar data (as a source for low-frequency radiation) and a stochastic part (as a source for high-frequency radiation), which introduces spatial heterogeneities to the prescribed asperity model. The numerical approach is first validated by modeling the well-recorded 1994 Northridge earthquake before modeling the Menyuan earthquake. The simulated ground motion is compared with the only observed strong-motion station record, as well as with empirical Next Generation Attenuation-West2 ground-motion models. Then, topography effect in Menyuan earthquake is studied in detail. The simulated ground motions with and without surface topography indicate that the topography tends to focus and scatter the seismic wavefield, resulting in amplification of the ground shaking. The results show a significant correlation between the peak ground velocity (PGV) and topography. The PGV amplification caused by topography effects is period dependent, and its peak amplification reaches up to 50% within a typical resonance period (1–2 s). It could be inferred that the railway bridge probably vibrated in resonance and suffered severe damage owing to the amplified long-period ground motion caused by the topography.
Power-Law Frequency-Dependent Q Simulation and Reverse-Time Migration in Transversely Isotropic Acoustic Media
Authors: Zhang Yabing , Chen Tongjun
Published: January 2024

Velocity and attenuation (Q) anisotropy are widely distributed in the Earth’s interior, significantly affecting the kinematic and dynamic characteristics of seismic-wave propagations. Previous studies developed to simulate these effects are mainly restricted to the constant-Q assumption. However, seismic attenuation in high-temperature and high-pressure regions is demonstrated to be frequency-dependent and usually follows a power-law formulation. To simulate this Q effect in transversely isotropic (TI) attenuating media, we derive a new pure-viscoacoustic wave equation with decoupled fractional Laplacians, which can simultaneously simulate amplitude dissipation and velocity dispersion effects. Based on the wavenumber relationship between the observation and physical coordinate systems, the tilted TI (TTI) wave equation is further derived. Compared with the pseudoviscoacoustic wave equation, the proposed pure-viscoacoustic equation can simulate stable P wavefields in complex geological structures without S-wave artifacts. To solve this new equation, two low-rank decompositions are introduced to approximate the real and imaginary parts and avoid the separation of wavenumbers and dip angles, making it much simpler in programming and implementation. We further use this equation to perform Q-compensated reverse-time migration to generate high-resolution migration images in anisotropic attenuating media. Numerical examples demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method for pure-viscoacoustic wavefield simulations and migrations in TTI attenuating media with power-law frequency-dependent Q effects.
Examining heterogeneity in language profiles of youth with Down syndrome
Authors:   , Grosman Hannah Elizabeth , Lee Nancy R.
Published: January 2024

Despite decades of research that has identified strengths and weaknesses in the cognitive abilities of individuals with Down syndrome (DS), a considerable amount of heterogeneity, or individual variability in skills, has been documented. One area where this heterogeneity has emerged is in language functioning. Children with DS show an interesting profile of language skills, with a distinct pragmatic (social) language strength when compared to structural (non-social) language. DS, the most common genetic cause of intellectual disability, is associated with numerous cooccurring disorders, including autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Moreover, given links between both ADHD and ASD and language impairments in the general population, there is reason to believe that features of the conditions may relate to individual differences in language outcomes in DS. However, research to date has yet to extensively evaluate this question. Consequently, the present study evaluated the degree in variance among language skills in youth with DS and typical development, how language abilities differ as result of ADHD and ASD symptomatology in DS, and the continuous relation between language abilities and ADHD and ASD symptomatology in DS. Participants included 107 youth with DS and 59 age-matched TD children. Parents completed report measures of language skills and validated measures of ASD and ADHD symptoms. Results of the study revealed that there are large degrees of variance in both social and non-social language skills within the DS sample. Social language skills varied widely in both the TD and DS groups and the groups did not differ in their degree of variance. The variance observed in the structural language composite did differ between groups, with youth with DS displaying a more variance than the TD group. When the DS sample was divided into those with "more" and "less" ASD and ADHD symptoms there were no interactions between language skills and cooccurring symptomatology group - i.e., the profile of language abilities did not differ for those with more or less ASD or ADHD symptoms. When ASD and ADHD symptoms were considered together, ADHD symptoms accounted for a significant amount of the variability seen in social language skills. ADHD and ASD symptoms did not account for a significant amount of variance in non-social language skills. These findings suggest presence of co-occurring psychopathologies, particularly ASD and ADHD, is an important area of further research in children with DS to inform clinical intervention.
Rehabilitation After Brachial Plexus Nerve Transfer Surgery
Authors:   , Hallenen Theresa J. E. , Williams Glenn N.
Published: January 2024

Background: Traumatic brachial plexus injury results in devastating functional loss to the affected arm. Motor and sensory changes vary based on the location and severity of nerve injury. Nerve transfer surgery is an effective intervention that improves functional outcomes following these injuries. Despite what we know about nerve transfer surgery, little evidence exists that examines rehabilitation for this patient population. Purpose: The aim of this descriptive study is to identify current occupational therapy and/or physical therapy methods for assessment, intervention, and functional outcomes of adults following traumatic brachial plexus injury and nerve transfer surgery. Methods: A search was conducted of 4 million electronic records treated within a 10-year period at the Duke University Health System. Eight-four potential cases were identified using diagnosis (ICD-10) and procedure (CPT(r)) codes specific to brachial plexus injury and nerve transfer surgery. The dataset was reduced to 20 cases based on inclusion criteria of completing three or more occupational therapy or physical therapy treatment sessions. The final four cases were determined based on medical records including sufficient documentation to adequately evaluate and describe the cases and rehabilitation treatment. Case report guidelines (CARE) guidelines were used to analyze the four cases. Results: The four cases selected highlight the complexity and unique rehabilitation needs of this patient population. The therapists for each case used assessments that targeted general arm function, range of motion, and strength deficits. Rehabilitation interventions addressing passive and active range of motion, strengthening, and neuromuscular re-education were consistent across all four cases. Variations in therapy assessment and intervention were identified. Conclusions: This case series provides meaningful insight into the current status of occupational and physical therapy evaluation, treatment, and rehabilitation reporting in patients undergoing nerve transfer surgery for brachial plexus injuries. Approaches to improve the rehabilitation treatment of this important population are discussed. Further research is necessary to make recommendations on how therapists assess and provide intervention for both physical and psychosocial changes as well as how to dose rehabilitation interventions after nerve transfer surgery

Published: January 2024

Background: According to the World Health Organization (WHO) data, gastric cancer (GC) was the 5th most common cancer and the 4th leading cause of cancer death worldwide in 2020. Peritoneal metastases (PM) are associated with a poor prognosis and detected in 30 % of patients with locally advanced GC; the median overall survival in patients with PM is 3–6 months without any treatment and 6–12 months with the use of systemic chemotherapy. Delivery of appropriate chemotherapeutic drugs directly into the abdominal cavity increases the effectiveness of treatment without severe systemic side effects. Today, various forms of intra-abdominal chemotherapy of PM are used in the world.Aim: To evaluate the efficacy of hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) and aerosol intraperitoneal pressure chemotherapy (PIPAC) in the treatment of GC PM.Purposes: To review current domestic and foreign publications on HIPEC and PIPAC, to compare their efficacy.Materials and methods: Articles in PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science databases were studied and analyzed for the key queries: “stomach cancer”, “carcinomatosis”, “peritoneal metastases”, “HIPEC”, “PIPAC”.Conclusions: The best results were achieved when using PIPAC as preoperative chemotherapy, followed by cytoreductive surgery in combination with HIPEC. Both procedures are promising and require further study with multicenter randomized prospective trials to assess their therapeutic potential.
Metastases to lymph nodes from monofocal and multifocal papillary thyroid malignant tumors in patients with autoimmune thyroiditis
Authors: Ryabchenko Е. V.
Published: January 2024

The aim of this work was to study the risk factors for metastasis to the central and lateral neck lymph nodes in papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) and multifocal papillary thyroid carcinoma (MPTC), especially in patients with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis (TH).Methods: A retrospective analysis of 763 patients after thyroidectomy with bilateral central lymphadenectomy (CLE) was performed at the interterritorial Center for Endocrine Surgery in Krasnodar during the period from October 2011 to October 2021. All patients had official histological diagnoses of TH. To identify risk factors for metastasis (Mts) to the lymph nodes of the neck, a multifactorial logistic regression analysis was performed.Results: In our study, 277 patients with SCLC and TC showed relatively low rates of Mts to the central lymph nodes (CLU) compared with patients with SCLC without TC (37.2 % vs. 54.7 %, P  140 IU / ml was established as the most sensitive and specific level for predicting MPCT based on the study. Antibodies to AT-TPO, age, tumor size, and multifocal tumor shape demonstrated the ability to predict Mts in the central nervous system in patients with PCT on the background of TC with a probability of 81.1 % based on a multidimensional model. TH was associated with an increased prevalence of multifocal tumor with invasion of the gland capsule.Conclusions: TH detection demonstrated the reduced risk of metastases to the CLN in patients with PCT and MPCT and indicated a potential protective effect. We found that the prognostic model is applicable for predicting a multifocal tumor and metastasis to the central nervous system in patients with PCT and TH.
A Behavioural Approach to Strategic Management
Authors: Balaton Károly
Published: January 2024

The concepts, methods and practices of strategic management have evolved significantly since the beginning of the 20th century. In the 1950s and 60s the use of long-term planning was characteristic. Until the end of the 1980s strategy was perceived as a response to environmental changes. During the 1990s strategy formulation was perceived as a process based on internal resources and capabilities of firms. This radical change with the previously applied concepts was influenced by the accelerated rate of environmental changes. Companies – especially large firms – were unable to change their strategies parallel with changes in their environment. They needed a more stable starting point for developing their strategies. Strategic decision makers intended to make optimal strategic decisions until the end of the 70s. Due to the newly emerged theory of limited rationality it has become accepted as a strong influencing factor of strategic decision-making. Parallel with the above mentioned changes the role of managerial behavioural characteristic had emerged as a more broadly accepted factor in strategic decision-making. In the present paper our intention is to present this development process. In preparing the paper the author has relied on his previous publications in the field.

Authors: Szilágyiné Fülöp Erika
Published: January 2024

Corruption not only hinders economic growth, but also undermines trust in public institutions, increases public spending and threatens the functioning of democracy. In addition to the financial damage, corruption in public administration has a serious social impact: it determines the trust of members of society in public governance and the civil service, it has a close impact on the fair and efficient use of public funds, and it affects the international image of the country. We aim to provide an overview of how corruption is present in public administration, how it differs from corruption in the private sector and how it can be intertwined with the public and private sectors. To identify methods to prevent corruption in public administration and to find out how public officials experience the functioning and effectiveness of these methods in practice.

Therefore, the aim of this paper is to present these factors as well as multidimensional models of sustainability and ultimately to synthesize and integrate them into an eight-factor model of sustainability. Finally, it sets out a further line of research, focusing on how these dimensions affect the understanding and implementation of corporate sustainability.
Sectoral Differences in Emission Reduction in Hungary
Authors: Horváth Ágnes
Published: January 2024

The European Union sets ambitious environmental and climate protection targets. The Emissions Trading System (ETS), launched in 2005, is seen as one of the main tools for reducing emissions. The system is currently in its 4th phase of operation. This article looks at the emission reductions achieved by Hungarian installations covered by the EU ETS during the 17 years of operation of the ETS. The analysis shows that the installations have achieved an overall reduction in CO2 emissions of around 37% from 2005 to 2022, with the most significant contribution from companies in the energy sector. Installations in the energy sector have almost halved their total verified CO2 emissions, while manufacturing has reduced emissions by only 3 percent.

Domestic and foreign Marxist tradition of the Northern Ireland conflict origins definition (1969–1998)
Authors: Afanas’eva D. A.
Published: January 2024

The article examines the perspectives of Soviet and foreign Marxist researchers in relation to the underlying causes of the beginning and escalation of Northern Irish conflict (The Troubles). The significance of this research lies in comprehending the lesser-explored Marxist heritage within the contemporary study of historical events in Great Britain and Ireland. The scientific novelty lies in addressing the scarcity of historiographical works dedicated to this issue, the depth of analysis they provide, and the absence of comprehensive comparative experiences. The research aims to investigate specific processes in the intellectual history of the USSR and other countries during the latter half of the XX century, focusing on instances of interaction or lack thereof between various Marxist schools of thought and trends. This is achieved by utilizing the Marxist historiography of the Northern Ireland conflict as an illustrative case. To fulfill this objective, the study undertakes a comparison of extensive sets of historiographical sources and internal subgroups of approaches present within Eastern and Western scholarly traditions that explore aspects of the Northern Ireland conflict within the context of Marxism. The primary theoretical framework draws upon the works of foreign and Russian Marxist scholars devoted to the issue of intercommunal conflict in Northern Ireland. The key finding of the research highlights the existence of evident similarities, encompassing logical, substantive, and linguistic-rhetorical aspects, between the works of Western and Eastern Marxists, despite the lack of direct citations between them. The research postulates several hypotheses concerning the origins of this phenomenon, including the potential impact of distinct methodologies on researchers’ perceptions of social processes and historical events, irrespective of the array of available source material. Furthermore, the research does not negate the possibility of implicit interactions between proponents of the English-language and the Russian-language Marxist academic traditions.
On relevance of borrowing the term «resilience» into Russian: as exemplified in professional economic texts
Authors: Martynova I. A.
Published: January 2024

At the present stage of development, various cultures, economies, language systems and societies in general are in close interaction with each other. The processes of borrowing and assimilation of loan words in the language are becoming the most significant ones in the linguistic development of modern society. They bring to the fore the problem of the justified borrowings, which seems to be one of the most relevant for linguists. This article attempts to answer the question if the borrowing of the term «resilience» by the economic terminological system of the Russian language is justified. The issue of possible unification of the «resilience» concept and development of its clear structure is debatable in the Russian-speaking academic community and is of interest to both linguists and economists. The identification of the content constituents of this economic concept and its description for further unification of the economic conceptual apparatus can contribute to reflecting the multidimensional nature of that linguistic fragment of the world in which this concept is presented. The research methodology is a set of methods used in linguistic research, namely content analysis, analysis of dictionary definitions and articles of etymological dictionaries, frame modeling of a scientific concept, comparative analysis, and analysis of the phenomenon under study in synchrony and in diachronic timelines. The empirical material of this study was a corpus of 32 texts in English and 35 texts by Russian-speaking authors. The corpus is concentrated on economic topics, and mainly consists of academic papers. The results of the complex analysis demonstrate minor differences in the composition of the slots in the frames under study in English and Russian economic term systems. Possible translations of the scientific concept are considered. The choice of sound and graphic representation of the term in the Russian language is justified. The conclusion is made about the relevant borrowing of the term «resilience».
Teaching Creative Writing within the framework of philology: historical overview
Authors: Shcherbinina Yu. I.
Published: January 2024

The purpose of the present article is to consider the dialectical relationship between Creative Writing and philology. The relevance of this subject is borne out by the recent surge of interest in teaching Creative Writing among EFL practitioners, writers, as well as teachers and researchers of literature, and the lack of a well-established system of instruction in our country. The materials analyzed in the paper include the works of American theoreticians and practitioners of Creative Writing, who laid the foundation of this discipline in the late 19th – early 20th century, the works of British scholars, as well as the articles on linguodidactics of modern Russian researchers. The paper seeks to point out the issues involved in teaching Creative Writing, such as its place among other disciplines (literary criticism, English studies, English composition, linguodidactics) and its institutional status; its vision as a mere method of teaching or a separate field of investigation. It is shown that the skills and competences developed by Creative Writing programmes are in high demand, and there is a growing need for such courses in Russia. The article aims to demonstrate the features that bring together Creative Writing and philology in the Russian academic context and allow to envisage the incorporation of Creative Writing into the professional training of philologists, in particular those specializing in English studies. The article concludes by highlighting the role creative writing plays in promoting a deeper appreciation of literature, developing productive language skills and raising more competent readers.

It’s easy to be a city where the whole territory is permeated with urban history. But how to develop a set of urban signs of culture where the «wild field» was historically located earlier?
