Authors: Pershin Mikhail E. , Litvinenko Dmitry V. , Konareva Tatyana I. , Tkachev Vyacheslav V.
Published: December 2024

One of the ways to improve functional outcomes in patients with ruptured cerebral aneurysms is preventive decompressive craniectomy (DC). Such tactics have not been studied during pregnancy.

Case report. A 34-year-old female patient, who was 10 weeks pregnant, was hospitalized for an acute headache. According to imaging methods, rupture of the aneurysm of the right internal carotid artery (ICA), subarachnoid parenchymal subdural hemorrhage, pronounced widespread arteriospasm were diagnosed. Consent to surgical treatment with the condition of prolongation of pregnancy was obtained only on the 4th day of the disease against the background of an increase in the volume of subdural hematoma and displacement of median structures. DC was performed and the aneurysm was clipped. The course of the postoperative period was favorable. At 40 weeks of pregnancy, a cesarean section delivery was performed, the child is healthy. Subsequently, cranioplasty of the skull bone defect was performed.

Discussion. The first case of successful treatment of a patient with a ruptured ICA aneurysm in the first trimester of pregnancy using DC is presented. The treatment of pregnant women with ruptured cerebral aneurysms in the first trimester of pregnancy presents significant difficulties in medical, moral, ethical and legal terms. A multidisciplinary approach, a balanced assessment of the severity of the disease and pregnancy, individual risks of surgery and potential complications, the volume of diagnostic procedures and intensive care measures performed, make it possible to preserve the life and health of the mother and fetus.
Classification of ophthalmic segment internal carotid artery aneurysms: a literature review
Authors: Sever Irina N. , Gerasyuta Anna E. , Litvinenko Dmitry V. , Tkachev Vyacheslav V.
Published: December 2024

Aneurysms of the ophthalmic segment of the internal carotid artery (ICA) have traditionally been considered complex, due to the peculiarities of their anatomy, difficult accessibility for open surgery and the risk of deterioration of visual functions. The high variability of the location of carotid-ophthalmic (paraclinoid) aneurysms is the main reason for the lack of a generally recognized clinical and anatomical classification of aneurysms of this localization. In turn, the lack of anatomical unification limits the communication between specialists involved in the diagnosis and treatment of such patients, as well as complicates the comparative analysis of clinical data and the results of microsurgical and intravascular operations. The proposed generalized classification scheme of aneurysms of the ophthalmic segment of the ICA can be used to systematize clinical material, study surgical algorithms in detail and develop optimal treatment tactics for patients with paraclinoid aneurysms.

Authors: Lukyanchikov Viktor A. , Karagozyan Arsen L. , Shatokhina Julia I. , Shatokhin Taras A. , Reshetov Dmitry N. , Kulov Zaurbek A. , Krylov Vladimir V.
Published: December 2024

In large internal carotid artery (ICA) aneurysms, the angle of the mandible becomes an anatomical obstacle to creating an adequate access. Widening the access can be achieved by performing a mandibular osteotomy.

Case report. A 70-year-old female patient was admitted to hospital with complaints of hoarseness of voice, dyspnoea and congestion of the right ear. Objective examination revealed nasal respiratory distress due to nasopharyngeal compression by a voluminous mass, mild dysarthria, dysphonia, tongue deviation to the right, paresis of the right soft palate and right vocal cord. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging showed a 50×49×60 mm thrombosed ICA aneurysm in the carotid space. Surgical management was performed by a multidisciplinary team including neurosurgeons, otolaryngologists and maxillofacial surgeons. Extended access was achieved by intraoral mandibular osteotomy followed by mobilization. Early postoperative resolution of neurological symptoms was observed.

Discussion. To gain access to giant aneurysms of the cervical branch of the ICA, it is possible to use the technique of intraoral osteotomy of the mandible. This reduces trauma and the risk of complications, while increasing the radicality of the main stage.

Post-Migration Mental Health of Black African Migrant Nurses in England
Authors:   Independent researcher, RN, BSN, MPH Harmony Owhotake
Published: December 2024

International nurse migration has become increasingly prevalent, with nurses from developing nations, particularly in Africa, moving to high-income countries like the UK. While this movement offers better economic and professional opportunities, it also presents significant challenges, particularly regarding mental health. Migration-induced stress, exacerbated by acculturative pressures, can contribute to mental health issues such as depression and anxiety among migrant nurses. Despite the importance of this issue, there has been limited research into the mental health status of Black African migrant nurses in England. This cross-sectional study aimed to explore the mental health well-being of Black African migrant nurses in England, using validated scales: the Short Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Wellbeing Scale (SWEMWBS) and the Hopkins Symptom Checklist-10 (HSCL-10). Findings revealed that while the overall mental well-being of participants was comparable to the national average, the prevalence of depressive and anxiety symptoms was significantly higher. Specifically, 60.8% of respondents reported HSCL-10 scores indicative of mental health issues, a rate nearly three times higher than that reported in hospital staff and the general population. Notably, those whose symptoms began after migration had significantly higher levels of psychological distress, emphasising the role of migration in exacerbating mental health issues. Factors such as racism and discrimination were found to be the strongest predictors of poor mental health, followed by spending time alone when off work, job stress, age and health status. These findings highlight the need for targeted mental health interventions and policies addressing the specific challenges faced by Black African migrant nurses, particularly in the areas of workplace discrimination and social integration.

Analysis of the Relationship Between Soluble Cd40 Ligand and Homeostasis Model Assessment of Insulin Resistance in Obese Non-Diabetic Subjects
Authors:   Deparment of Biomedical Science, Hasanuddin University, Makassar, South Sulawesi, Indonesia, Ismi Nur
Published: December 2024

Obesity is a complex multifactorial disease characterized by the accumulation of body fat, leading to adverse effects on one’s well-being. Obesity has a strong association with insulin resistance. Insulin resistance can lead to a range of health issues, including type II diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular disease, and other metabolic syndrome diseases. A method that can be employed to evaluate insulin resistance is the measurement of HOMA-IR. sCD40L is the soluble form of the CD40L molecule released on the cell surface through proteolysis. There is evidence that the sCD40L level is a strong predictor of cardiovascular risk, and enhanced levels of CD40L were reported in patients with hypercholesterolemia, diabetes mellitus, and acute coronary syndromes.

Physical Therapy in Cardio-Pulmonary Rehabilitation: Evidence-Based Practices for Functional Recovery and Health Optimization
Authors:   USA, Makwana Lalji Bhai
Published: December 2024

These cardiopulmonary disorders like COPD, heart failure and post-cardiac surgery often influence
functional capability, physical stamen and lifestyle. These chronic diseases are frequent causes of disability
and mortality around the globe and, therefore, require inclusive and efficient approaches to rehabilitation.
Cardio-pulmonary rehabilitation involves using physical PT exercise routines, breathing techniques and
lifestyle modification to enhance the clients' physical fitness and ultimately enhance the clinical results. PT
evidence-based writings centred on the improvement of aerobic fitness, respiratory muscles, symptoms
decrease, and increased functional mobility. These include diaphragmatic breathing, inspiratory muscle
training (IMT), as well as progressive respiratory muscle strength training with due consideration to the
strengths and realities of every patient. Using HIIT, telerehabilitation and VR-based therapies is changing
the conventional methods of PT and is making rehabilitation more interactive, feasible and efficient. These
methods use contemporary technology to enhance medicines compliance, counselling and feedback,
and quality greatly in extent fewer served. Besides exercise interventions, other approaches in different
professional disciplines, such as dietetics, counselling, and informative support for the patient, all augment
results. These general intervention models include: These approaches consider much more than simply
the physiological disabilities of cardio-pulmonary diseases, but also the psychological and social aspects
involved. Papers show that PT is an important factor that helps prevent readmissions, mortalities and better
long-term outcomes.
Advancements in Physical Therapy Interventions for Cerebral Palsy: Enhancing Motor Function and Quality of Life
Authors:   USA, Makwana Lalji Bhai
Published: December 2024

Cerebral palsy (CP) is the non–progressive neurological disorder due to brain damage. It leads to motor
disorders, changes in muscle tone and postural dysfunctions. CP is unquestionably one of the most
widespread childhood motor disorders affecting an individual's mobility, independence, and QoL. CP
management has always been based on physical therapy (PT), designed to increase motor function,
decrease spasticity, and increase participation in activities of daily living. Recent improvements in the
application of PT interventions, such as robot-assisted therapy and virtual reality-based rehabilitation, and
the use of constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT), have transformed CP patient care. Their evidencebased approaches are founded in neuroplasticity and optimized towards maximizing motor recovery in
targeted and individualized ways. Assistive technologies, including exoskeletons and wearable devices for
augmenting mobility and functional independence, are integrated. Aquatic therapy, hippotherapy, and taskspecific training are emerging therapeutic modalities that enhance these rehabilitation interventions for
children in an enjoyable and engaging manner, which improves adherence and long-term outcomes. Also,
approaches are multidisciplinary – involving occupational therapy, speech therapy, and family-centered care
results in further use of maximum benefits. This paper focuses on recent PT interventions for CP and their
effect on motor function, mobility and QoL. This emphasizes the need for blending technology with current
techniques to handle the multiple problems of people with CP. This paper synthesizes recent evidence to
help clinicians and researchers implement strategies that can foster functional independence and provide
individuals with CP the empowerment necessary to lead a full life.

A comparison of subjective and objective measures of health status
Authors: Viziteu Paula
Published: December 2024

Two types of categories for measuring health status are distinguished, the subjective and the objective. This study aims to shift from a subjective measure of Self-rated health (SRH) to a health index that is more objective. The research question asks about the advantages and disadvantages of each. Some positive aspects of the subjective method may be drawn from its simplicity, from accessibility of data collection, from low survey costs, from popularity, from the large use by researchers. It may be considered problematic because it relies on respondents' perceptions, which can change when reassessing health. There may also be problems with data accuracy. As for the health index, it can be recognized as easy to interpret, easy to solve econometric problems, i.e. problems related to multicollinearity. The difficult part is the construct of the index and the fact that data may change over time. This comparison can help researchers when choosing or updating a health measure, but also might contribute on health policy-decision-making.
Factors Associated with Burkitt’s Lymphoma in Children at Kisumu’s Jaramogi Oginga Odinga Teaching and Referral Hospital, Kisumu Kenya
Authors: Aloiloi Beatrice , Musungu Vincent
Published: December 2024

Burkitt’s lymphoma is a highly aggressive lymphoma identified and described in the last century by Denis Burkitt in Africa having distinct characteristics and variants especially in areas endemic for malaria (Crombie & LaCasce, 2021; Ferry, 2006a). Burkitt lymphoma (BL) is an aggressive form of B cell lymphoma that can affect children and adults (López et al., 2022). Other than malaria, HIV has been suggested to have either a direct or indirect oncogenic role in Burkitt lymphoma (Atallah-Yunes et al., 2020)

Clinical outcomes of Burkitt’s lymphoma are excellent in children and adolescents, but improvements are needed for adults with CNS involvement. Intensive supportive care is required at the first recognition of possible Burkitt’s lymphoma in order to prevent early death from toxicity and organ compromise (Roschewski et al., 2022). In the World Health Organization (WHO) Classification, three clinical variants of Burkitt’s lymphoma are described: endemic, sporadic, and immunodeficiency-associated types. Endemic Burkitt’s lymphoma refers to those cases occurring in African children, usually 4–7 years old, with a male: female ratio of 2:1, involving the bones of the jaw and other facial bones, as well as kidneys, gastrointestinal tract, ovaries, breast, and other extranodal sites (Ferry, 2006b)

Intraabdominal extra nodal Burkitt lymphoma has a polymorphic presentation that includes bowel obstruction, intussusception, and appendicitis (Shaw et al., 2022). Early treatment is important and can demonstrate better prognosis. Prednisone, vincristine, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, and rituximab has demonstrated encouraging treatment outcomes (Connor., 2022).

Objective: To determine factors associated with Burkitt’s lymphoma.

The role and performance of local government in sustainable development is very crucial and cannot be over emphasized. The SDGs are an integrated and indivisible framework of human, economic, social and environmental dimension of development. The objective of this study is to assess the performance of local governments in relation to the achievement of good health and well-being (SDG 3) in FCT. The study applied a survey research design with the use of structured questionnaire and the ordered logistic regression model. The Taro Yamane formula was applied to determine the optimum sample size. The findings show that there is a positive relationship between the performance of local government and good health, though their performance is below average and insignificant. Furthermore, there is a robust relationship between EQH, SHW and NRM and the outcome variable, GDH except for CPN, a robust relationship between it and the outcome variable is lacking since the changes in probability are statistically less significant. The conclusion is for local governments have proper strategies and plans for effective and efficient implementation, monitoring and evaluation of all social and economic activities in the local areas that will bring about good health and well-being.
The Role of Political Parties in Bangladesh’s July Revolution of 2024: Insights from Sufi Perspectives
Authors: Hasan Chowdury Dr. Saeyd Rashed
Published: December 2024

This research examines the role and political dynamics of Bangladeshi political parties, particularly Sufi-based parties, during the widespread student and public protests against the Awami League government from July 1 to August 5, 2024. The objective is to understand how these parties influenced the uprising, known as the July Revolution, which culminated in over 1,500 deaths and 31,000 injuries and ultimately led to the fall of the Awami League’s 16-year rule. The study employs a qualitative methodology with the theory of revolutions, theory of resistances and theory of authoritarianism, analysing primary and secondary sources to explore the political, social, and human rights issues surrounding the uprising. Findings indicate that public frustration with the authoritarian governance, allegations of human rights violations, and significant events—including the BDR rebellion, Sufi-based Hefazat-e-Islam Bangladesh’s clashes at Shapla Chattar, and targeted actions against opposition figures—intensified public dissent. The study discusses the implications of the uprising for Bangladesh’s political landscape, emphasising the influential role of Sufi-based parties and their grassroots mobilisation efforts. This article provides original insights into the intersection of religious and political activism in Bangladesh, offering a foundation for future studies on the region’s civil unrest and political reform.
Language learners’ drawings and textual commentaries as a way to envision goals and aspirations for future language use
Authors: Muhonen Anu
Published: December 2024

Written and spoken language are not the only ways to illustrate thinking. Incorporating arts-informed and multimodal ways to communicate can offer new insights for higher education language teaching and learning practices. This study investigates how Finnish as a second language students’ drawings as visualizations support an arts-informed approach to knowledge production in the initial years of language learning and proficiency in higher education in Canada. Further, it explores how students of Finnish represent their aspirations and objectives for their future language use and study through these embodied visualizations. The article focuses on how students visualize their aspirations to learn and use language without having to look for support from English. Grounded in reflective arts-informed language pedagogy, this study employs multisemiotic content analysis to examine a selection of students’ drawings. Through drawing, students visualize their imagined potential selves as future language users in different situations, activities and tasks and with different people. While language learners traditionally express their thoughts through oral and written language, and commonly in English, this study shows that drawings offer an alternative and artistic avenue for knowledge transmission and communication in the early stages of the language learning trajectory. Through reflective research practice, his study also addresses some implications of integrating arts-informed teaching and learning practice into second language pedagogy, encouraging instructors to adapt arts-informed teaching methodologies to align with students’ individual learning trajectories.

Purpose: To explore how digital payment (independent variable) systems influenced purchasing behaviors (dependent variable) among employees in private enterprises, finding that factors such as convenience, speed, and flexibility drive luxury spending by simplifying high-value transactions. Although security risks and impulsive spending threaten the cashless situation, the urgency of such risks requires improved safeguards and better financial literacy.
Methodology: Stratified random sampling was applied by dividing the number of employees into distinct strata based on industry. A sample size was proportionally allocated to each stratum, ensuring equal representation from each category. This research was conducted in Iba, Zambales, Philippines. Iba is one of the 13 towns that make up the Zambales province.  A total of 509 responses were gathered, based on the sampling size of at least 385, which was determined using Raosoft’s sample size calculator. Google Forms served as the principal instrumentation and data-gathering procedure, but paper questionnaires were also provided for those without Internet access.
Findings: This study found that digital payments significantly enhanced the convenience and ease of luxury consumption, particularly among employees in private enterprises. They appreciated the speed and simplicity of cashless transactions, eliminating the need to carry cash. Furthermore, these payment processes offered flexibility through options such as installment plans. For many, the seamless approach to making significant purchases hassle-free made digital payments appealing in today's fast-paced and technology-driven world.
Contribution to Theory, Policy, and Practice: It was important to strengthen security, enhance consumer education, and promote access to a safer, more responsible, cashless economy. The study recommended reinforcing security measures, enhancing consumer education, and ensuring broader access to foster a safer, more accountable, cashless economy.

Demografik yapı, bir ülkenin kalkınma düzeyini belirleyen en önemli faktörlerden biridir. Nüfusun büyüklüğü, yaşı, cinsiyeti gibi demografik özellikler bir ülkenin üretim kapasitesini, tüketim alışkanlıklarını ve işgücü kaynaklarını belirleyerek ülkelerin kalkınma sürecini önemli ölçüde etkilemektedir. Bu nedenle demografi ve kalkınma arasındaki ilişki uzun yıllardır araştırılmaktadır. Tüm bunlardan hareketle bu çalışmanın amacı; Türkiye, Rusya ve 12 Avrasya ülkesinde demografik değişkenlerin, ekonomik kalkınma üzerindeki etkilerini incelemektir. Araştırmada, 14 ülkeye ait 1995-2021 arası dönemi kapsayan panel veri kullanılmıştır. Gerçekleştirilen analiz sonuçlarına göre, gayri safi sermaye oluşumu ve dışa açıklık değişkenlerinin kişi başına GSYH üzerinde olumlu etkiye sahip olduğu ancak toplam nüfusun ise olumsuz bir etkiye sahip olduğu görülmektedir. Demografik geçiş değişkenlerinden biri olan doğurganlık oranlarının kişi başına GSYH üzerinde olumlu bir
etkiye sahip olduğu görülürken, ölüm oranlarının ise bir etkisinin olmadığı sonucuna varılmıştır. Demografik bölünme değişkenlerinden çalışma çağındaki nüfus ve yaşlı bağımlılık oranları da kişi başına GSYH’yi olumlu yönde etkilemektedir.
A causalidade para a construção da ideia de Deus em Anaxágoras de Clazômenas e Sócrates
Authors: VERÇOSA GABRIEL RAMIRES
Published: December 2024

Partindo do ponto de vista que o ser humano sempre esteve em contato com o sobrenatural, notamos que sua atitude, dentro das religiões antigas, busca estabelecer um vínculo com o princípio divino que deu origem ao universo. Porém, tais atitudes estãopermeadas de sentimentalismo e fantasias. A tentativa de investigar racionalmente a existência de Deus e construir uma noção simples de sua ideia, deve partir de algo seguro e natural ao ser humano – este é o modo que a filosofia irá trabalhar para elaborar uma teologia natural. Aplicando o princípio de causalidade, mesmo que de forma implícita, em Anaxágoras e Sócrates essa busca parece apontar para um princípio divino que gera e ordena todas as coisas.
A filosofia entre a forma e o modelo
Authors: SILVA BISNETO PEDRO JOÃO DA
Published: December 2024

A contemporaneidade parece não ter conseguido compreender a profundidade que as mudanças, inerentes a ela, promoveram na forma estruturante da filosofia europeia/ocidental. Essa situação se mostra diante da dificuldade - e até mesmo totalnegação – no formulação de uma crítica ao cânone filosófico ou mesmo aos modos de entendimento daquilo que viria a ser o pensamento filosófico. Longe de, pretensiosamente, delimitar o que é – ou deveria ser – a filosofia contemporânea,analisaremos, nesse trabalho, como é possível estabelecer a relação entre filosofia e literatura num reverberar filosófico que não se constitui nem como subversão da filosofia, tampouco como inferiorização do pensamento estético. Para muito além de uma análiseliterária, encara-se como necessária uma reaproximação das áreas supracitadas, até mesmo repensando a possibilidade da formulação de uma análise filosófica como chave hermenêutica para a literatura, permitindo, assim, uma nova possibilidade de análise e uma situação de encontro entre dois ou mais autores.
A marvelização do cinema e a indústria cultural
Authors: ARAÚJO FRANCISCO NICOLAU
Published: December 2024

O presente artigo tem por objetivo expor as consequências do fenômeno da marvelização do cinema, uma estratégia do capitalismo que vem tomando conta das produções cinematográficas americanas que são comercializadas pelo mundo inteiro. Esse movimento acontece por meio da apropriação das pautas identitárias e raciais e pela simplificação das narrativas heroicas. Tais mecanismos exigem um grande investimento tecnológico e são utilizados para engajar os espectadores e, doravante, potencializar os lucros das produtoras hollywoodianas de conteúdo audiovisual. O resultado imediato dessa investida capitalista é a construção de uma arte que não educa, pois não prioriza o aprofundamento reflexivo das questões que desafiam atualmente os paradigmas sociais.Assim, mediante ao olhar iluminado pelos conceitos desenvolvidos pela Teoria Crítica da Escola de Frankfurt, entre outros teóricos, essa pesquisa explora filosoficamente algumas implicações adjacentes a esse processo.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the mediating effect of career development competencies in the relationship between entrepreneurship education experience aimed at cultivating entrepreneurship and entrepreneurship, focusing on entrepreneurship and career development competencies as competencies that high school students need to adaptively cope with the 4th Industrial Revolution and lead creative and proactive lives. To this end, the data of 7,498 high school students from the Elementary and Secondary Career Education Status Survey(2023) were analyzed, and a descriptive statistics analysis was conducted with the IBM SPSS 29.0 program and model 4 of the PROCESS macro 4.3(Hayes, 2022) was used to verify the mediating effect. The main findings were as follows. First, there were significant positive correlations between all variables, with the highest correlation between high school students' entrepreneurship and career preparation competencies, and the entrepreneurship of high school students differed significantly according to gender, school establishment type, school size, and high school type except for school location. Second, career development competencies statistically significantly mediated the relationship between high school students' experience in entrepreneurship education and entrepreneurship, and career design competencies and career preparation competencies, which are sub-factors of career development competencies, respectively also significantly mediated the relationship between high school students' experience in entrepreneurship education and entrepreneurship. Based on these results, this study suggested ways to improve entrepreneurship and entrepreneurship education at the school and national levels, presented considerations for developing school entrepreneurship programs, emphasized the need for entrepreneurship education to foster not only entrepreneurship but also career development competencies within the larger framework of school career education, and provided suggestions for follow-up research.
