Spiritual dryness and its predictors in Iranian Muslims
Authors: Ashrafizadeh Hadis , Farahani Azam Shirinabadi , Büssing Arndt , Rassouli Maryam
Published: October 2024

Illness, disability, and life-threatening events rank among the most significant crises that give rise to spiritual challenges. These challenges can lead to a dichotomy of spiritual dryness and cohesion, a phenomenon that can manifest in any demographic group due to illness or other crises. Within the Iranian Muslim community, various groups – healthy and sick, religious and non-religious – have consistently experienced spiritual dryness. This observation aligns with findings from other studies, particularly those involving Christians. However, the factors predicting spiritual dryness in these individuals have differed from those in other populations. Given that spirituality often serves as a potent strategy for navigating life’s crises, it is crucial to provide holistic support and spiritual care to those grappling with this phenomenon. This approach can help mitigate negative outcomes and foster positive ones, such as post-traumatic growth.
Synchronous processing of orthogonal cyclic AFM signals under conditions of reception gain coefficient uncertainty
Authors: Sadchenko A. V. , Kushnirenko O. A. , Troyanskiy O. V.
Published: October 2024

A method has been proposed for synchronizing modems that use a system of cyclic amplitude-phase keyed signals encoded by multi-level numerical sequences with an ideal periodic autocorrelation function to transmit information. The method is based on the invariance of the phase structure of the zero cyclic shift and the inverse zero cyclic shift of the coding sequence to the fast discrete Fourier transform. This makes it possible to detect a synchronization signal based on the analysis of only the phase structure of the signal at the output of the phase detector and to carry out fast automatic adjustment of the receiver gain under conditions of an unknown initial amplitude of the amplitude-phase manipulated signal. The amplitude structure of the clock signal is restored using a special case of the fast discrete Fourier transform — the fast discrete cosine transform. Due to the integer values of the amplitudes, the symmetry around the center, and taking into account the cyclicity property, a single matched filter is used to distinguish orthogonal cyclic signals in a system containing N signals with the number of multipliers equal to the number of discrete amplitude variations, less than N/2 for even N or N/2–1 for odd N.
Influence of geometric factors on the heat transfer characteristics of two-phase thermosyphons
Authors: Kravets V. Yu. , Shepel A. S. , Hurov D. I. , Danylovich A. O.
Published: October 2024

Thermosyphons are two-phase closed heat exchange systems that contain a certain amount of liquid and utilize the latent heat of vaporization and condensation to transfer heat between the heat source and the heat sink without any external devices. They are a type of heat pipe that lacks a capillary structure, so the return of the condensed coolant from the condensation zone to the heating zone is driven by gravitational forces. Due to the absence of a capillary structure, thermosyphons exhibit lower resistance to the movement of the vapor-liquid mixture from the heating zone to the condensation zone, as well as to the return flow of the condensate.
A distinctive feature of such systems is their high equivalent thermal conductivity, which is several orders of magnitude greater than that of natural metals (such as copper or silver). Because of their superior heat transfer characteristics, thermosyphons are widely used in various technical fields, including the chemical and petroleum industries, electronics, telecommunications devices, energy storage systems, and geothermal heating systems, among others.
This paper presents experimental data on the heat transfer characteristics of two-phase thermosyphons with an internal diameter of 9 mm and lengths of 500, 700, and 1000 mm, using water as the coolant. The filling ratio (Fr) varied from 0.3 to 1.2. The length of the condensation zone was the same for all thermosyphons. The study was conducted with the thermosyphons oriented vertically at an angle of 90° relative to the horizontal. The influence of the filling ratio and the effective length of the thermosyphons on the minimum thermal resistance, the maximum heat flux, and the equivalent thermal conductivity is analyzed.
Metabotropic NMDAR Signaling Contributes to Sex Differences in Synaptic Plasticity and Episodic Memory
Authors: Le Aliza A. , Lauterborn Julie C. , Jia Yousheng , Cox Conor D. , Lynch Gary , Gall Christine M.
Published: October 2024

NMDA receptor (NMDAR)-mediated calcium influx triggers the induction and initial expression of long-term potentiation (LTP). Here we report that in male rodents, ion flux-independent (metabotropic) NMDAR signaling is critical for a third step in the production of enduring LTP, i.e., cytoskeletal changes that stabilize the activity-induced synaptic modifications. Surprisingly, females rely upon estrogen receptor alpha (ERα) for the metabotropic NMDAR operations used by males. Blocking NMDAR channels with MK-801 eliminated LTP expression in hippocampal field CA1 of both sexes but left intact theta burst stimulation (TBS)-induced actin polymerization within dendritic spines. A selective antagonist (Ro25-6981) of the NMDAR GluN2B subunit had minimal effects on synaptic responses but blocked actin polymerization and LTP consolidation in males only. Conversely, an ERα antagonist thoroughly disrupted TBS-induced actin polymerization and LTP in females while having no evident effect in males. In an episodic memory paradigm, Ro25-6981 prevented acquisition of spatial locations by males but not females, whereas an ERα antagonist blocked acquisition in females but not males. Sex differences in LTP consolidation were accompanied by pronounced differences in episodic memory in tasks involving minimal (for learning) cue sampling. Males did better on acquisition of spatial information whereas females had much higher scores than males on tests for acquisition of the identity of cues (episodic “what”) and the order in which the cues were sampled (episodic “when”). We propose that sex differences in synaptic processes used to stabilize LTP result in differential encoding of the basic elements of episodic memory.
Glutamate Signaling and Neuroligin/Neurexin Adhesion Play Opposing Roles That Are Mediated by Major Histocompatibility Complex I Molecules in Cortical Synapse Formation
Authors: Sell Gabrielle L. , Barrow Stephanie L. , McAllister A. Kimberley
Published: October 2024

Although neurons release neurotransmitter before contact, the role for this release in synapse formation remains unclear. Cortical synapses do not require synaptic vesicle release for formation (Verhage et al., 2000; Sando et al., 2017; Sigler et al., 2017; Held et al., 2020), yet glutamate clearly regulates glutamate receptor trafficking (Roche et al., 2001; Nong et al., 2004) and induces spine formation (Engert and Bonhoeffer, 1999; Maletic-Savatic et al., 1999; Toni et al., 1999; Kwon and Sabatini, 2011; Oh et al., 2016). Using rat and murine culture systems to dissect molecular mechanisms, we found that glutamate rapidly decreases synapse density specifically in young cortical neurons in a local and calcium-dependent manner through decreasing
N
-methyl-
d
-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) transport and surface expression as well as cotransport with neuroligin (NL1). Adhesion between NL1 and neurexin 1 protects against this glutamate-induced synapse loss. Major histocompatibility I (MHCI) molecules are required for the effects of glutamate in causing synapse loss through negatively regulating NL1 levels in both sexes. Thus, like acetylcholine at the neuromuscular junction, glutamate acts as a dispersal signal for NMDARs and causes rapid synapse loss unless opposed by NL1-mediated trans-synaptic adhesion. Together, glutamate, MHCI, and NL1 mediate a novel form of homeostatic plasticity in young neurons that induces rapid changes in NMDARs to regulate when and where nascent glutamatergic synapses are formed.
Prevalent Harmonic Interaction in the Bat Inferior Colliculus
Authors: Cui Zhongdan , Yu Chao , Wang Xindong , Yin Kuiying , Luo Jinhong
Published: October 2024

Animal vocalizations and human speech are typically characterized by a complex spectrotemporal structure, composed of multiple harmonics, and patterned as temporally organized sequences. However, auditory research often employed simple artificial acoustic stimuli or their combinations. Here we addressed the question of whether the neuronal responses to natural echolocation call sequences can be predicted by manipulated sequences of incomplete constituents at the midbrain inferior colliculus (IC). We characterized the extracellular single-unit activity of IC neurons in the great roundleaf bat,
Hipposideros armiger
(both sexes), using natural call sequences, various manipulated sequences of incomplete vocalizations, and pure tones. We report that approximately two-thirds of IC neurons exhibited a harmonic interaction. Neurons with high harmonic interactions exhibited greater selectivity to natural call sequences, and the degree of harmonic interaction was robust to the natural amplitude variations between call harmonics. For 81% of the IC neurons, the responses to the natural echolocation call sequence could not be predicted by altered sequences of missing call components. Surprisingly, nearly 70% of the neurons that showed a harmonic interaction were characterized by a single excitatory response peak as revealed by pure tones. Our results suggest that prevalent harmonic processing has already emerged in the auditory midbrain IC in the echolocating bat.

Nicknames with the Kyiv toponymic component in the Ukrainian-language segment of the social network “X”
Authors:   Institute of the Ukrainian Language of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, Tsyhvintseva Yuliia
Published: October 2024

The article deals with the distinctive characteristics of the functioning of nicknames in the Ukrainian-language segment of the social network “X”. The author describes different terms for the studied units in the Ukrainian scientific discourse, focusing on various approaches to understanding the nature of nicknames. The 358 units with the toponymic component Kyiv, the derived adjectives kyivskyi, kyivska, and kyivske, and the adverb po-kyivsky have been classified according to the semantics of the key component and the main reasons for self-naming. The text gives valuable information on the formal and semantic structure of nicknames. Particular attention focused on the effects of language play, ironic self-names, and precedent units as the basis for the formation of nicknames semantics. The analysis of the material allowed for the identification of specific groups of lexemes from the passive vocabulary employed by speakers to construct expressive and expressive virtual names. It is concluded that virtual reality influences the selection of linguistic means for self-presentation of social media users in a nickname. It is emphasized that the analysed nicknames show the richness of Ukrainian vocabulary, reflect the active vocabulary of modern Ukrainians-users of the social network “X”, their speech behaviour, are filled with individual meaning, which, however, is not detached from linguistic and social reality, which makes the language of social networks in general and nicknames in particular an interesting subject of linguistic research. Keywords: Internet communication, social network, self-presentation, onym, toponym, pseudonym, nickname, toponymic component, precedent text (name).

Temperature dependence of irradiation-induced amorphization in a high-entropy titanate pyrochlore
Authors: Weber William J. , Kinsler-Fedon Candice , Keppens Veerle , Zhang Yanwen , Mir Anamul H.
Published: October 2024

The temperature dependence of amorphization in a high-entropy pyrochlore, (Yb0.2Tm0.2Lu0.2Ho0.2Er0.2)2Ti2O7, under irradiation with 600 keV Xe ions has been studied using in situ transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The critical amorphization dose increases with temperature, and the critical temperature for amorphization is 800 K. At room temperature, the critical amorphization dose is larger than that previously determined for this pyrochlore under bulk-like 4 MeV Au ion irradiation but is similar to the critical doses determined in two other high-entropy titanate pyrochlores under 800 keV Kr ion irradiation using in situ TEM, which is consistent with reported behavior in simple rare-earth titanate pyrochlores.

Fenomena Penolakan Ustaz Youtuber: Studi tentang Dakwah Hanan Attaki dalam Perspektif Kekerasan Simbolik Pierre Bourdieu
Authors: Ramadhan M.G. , Warsito Loekisno Choiril
Published: October 2024

This paper delves into the resistance faced by Hanan Attaki, an Indonesian preacher recognized for his contemporary preaching style and widespread popularity among diverse societal groups. Nonetheless, his fame also exposes him to the influence of the hierarchical structure within the sphere of social media. Each instance involving Hanan Attaki attracts significant public attention, evolving into a social spectacle subject to scrutiny, thereby giving rise to various societal concerns. Employing qualitative methodologies, this research scrutinizes the phenomenon of Hanan Attaki’s rejection through the lens of Pierre Bourdieu's theory of symbolic violence. Through this analysis, it is uncovered that social media has elevated Hanan Attaki to a prominent position within the da'wah field, thereby rendering the rejection incident in Pamekasan, Madura, as an outcome of pressure exerted by specific factions following the previous dismissal of a religious discourse. This coercion manifests in two forms of dominance: firstly, influential figures in Pamekasan, Madura, establishing ideological supremacy within the community, and secondly, Hanan Attaki asserting dominance through his explanatory content on YouTube, resulting in the misuse of symbolic authority and provoking adverse reactions on social media platforms. Consequently, this coercion engenders symbolic violence, which disrupts the social dynamics within the realm of social media.
Menyikapi Kematian dengan Optimisme: Studi Komparasi Pemikiran Jalaludin Rakhmat dan Komaruddin Hidayat
Authors: Solikah Sal Sabillah Nikmatus , Muktafi Muktafi
Published: October 2024

Death, an inevitable reality for every living being, has a deep and diverse meaning in human views. This article examines the meaning of death with an optimistic approach through a comparative study of the views of two Indonesian thinkers, Jalaluddin Rakhmat and Komaruddin Hidayat. Jalaluddin Rakhmat, in his book Memaknai Kematian, considers that death is a purification process for the soul to a holy place. Meanwhile, Komaruddin Hidayat, in his book Psikologi Kematian, states that death is a gateway to continuing a new, quality life. Jalaluddin Rakhmat's view of death illustrates that death is something that is closest, certain, and faithfully waiting for the next day. For humans, death is an unavoidable certainty. If someone considers death as a frightening threat, he tends to forget about it by being immersed in the pleasures of the world. However, if one longs for God, all good deeds will be prepared to achieve ultimate happiness after death. Meanwhile, Komaruddin Hidayat interprets death as a process that will make humans more perfect, bringing positive news for self-awareness rather than haunting themselves with excessive fear. Death is considered a cleansing moment that will make humans more holy, take a higher degree, get closer to God, and increase the spirit of worship
Kontestasi Habaib dalam Perebutan Makna dan Aktualisasi Manhaj Kasru Saif
Authors: Ahmad Fajar Hidayatulloh , Umam Muchammad Helmi
Published: October 2024

This article delves into a contentious issue surrounding the Alawiyyin, commonly referred to as habaib in Indonesia. The polemic at hand garners attention due to the divergent approaches to preaching and religious practice within the Alawiyyin community. It appears that this community is bifurcated into two factions: one advocating for da‘wah with a gentle and respectful demeanor, while the other adopts a more aggressive, politically charged methodology, resorting even to insults and claims of nasab superiority. This schism has sparked concern among the peranakan Hadhrami in Indonesia, particularly the Alawiyyin, who have endured marginalization due to colonial segregation policies and internal discord. The sense of alienation experienced by the Alawiyyin has been further compounded by the reinforcement of their identity. This heightened identity consciousness stems from disparate interpretations of the concept of kafā‘ah (equality), which, in turn, has engendered a host of internal challenges within their community. These divergent perspectives on kafā‘ah have significantly shaped their approach to da‘wah (manhaj kasru saif) and their political stances. Consequently, the schism within the Alawiyyin community has precipitated a discourse of contention and debate among its members.
Fenomena Stereotyping Perempuan Bercadar di Kalangan Mahasiswa UIN Sunan Ampel Surabaya
Authors: Pasa Mohamad Refansa Rafly , Yaqin Haqqul
Published: October 2024

Stereotypes are an integral part of the social interaction dynamics within society, including negative perceptions directed toward certain groups, such as veiled women. These stereotypes have developed through a systematic and deeply internalized negative perspective over time. In reality, veiled women often have personal motivations and reasons that do not align with the prevailing societal assumptions. This study seeks to address two primary questions: first, what is the nature of the stereotype toward veiled women among students at the State Islamic University of Sunan Ampel Surabaya, and second, how can the theory of symbolic interactionism explain this phenomenon? A qualitative research approach was employed at the State Islamic University of Sunan Ampel Surabaya, with data collection methods including observation, interviews, and documentation. The data were analyzed descriptively using social identity theory to examine the process of stereotype formation and symbolic interactionism theory to understand the meanings and rationale behind the use of veils. The findings of this research reveal the existence of negative stereotypes associated with veiled women, along with the underlying reasons for their choice to wear the veil, which serves as a form of resistance against such stereotypes.
Eksistensi Perempuan dalam Buku Sister Fillah, You’ll Never Be Alone Karya Kalis Mardiasih: Analisis Psiko-Humanistik Erich Fromm
Authors: Shobichah Muthiatus , Rofhani Rofhani
Published: October 2024

This article explores Kalis Mardiasih’s book Sister Fillah, You’ll Never Be Alone, which addresses the experiences of women challenging a patriarchal system often characterized by arrogance. Mardiasih draws upon both empirical evidence and Islamic perspectives to confront discriminatory interpretations. The study employs Erich Fromm’s psycho-humanistic analysis to offer fresh insights into women’s existence in Islam and to assess the fulfillment of women’s normative rights as presented in the book. By applying this analytical framework, the article underscores how women can cultivate their potential in a positive way, empowering them to understand their own identities and actualize their capabilities. Such actions are rooted in personal awareness, enabling women to reclaim their humanity—often stifled by patriarchal structures. The discrimination encountered by women has prompted numerous scholars to delve into this issue, and this research seeks to contribute to the ongoing discourse by examining the representation of women’s experiences in Sister Fillah, You’ll Never Be Alone through the lens of Erich Fromm’s psycho-humanistic analysis.
Ethical Principles and Spiritual Growth among Generation Z Students at Tahfidz al-Qur’an Darussalam Sulaimaniyah Islamic Boarding School, Malang
Authors: Khasanah Lailatul , Zamzami Mukhammad
Published: October 2024

This article investigates the ethical principles and spiritual development embraced by Generation Z students at the Tahfidz al-Qur’an Darussalam Sulaimaniyah Islamic Boarding School in Malang. It aims to provide an in-depth look into the students’ daily lives and behaviours, uncovering how they incorporate religious teachings and ethical values into their routine experiences within the pesantren community. The research adopts a qualitative methodology, employing techniques such as participatory observation, in-depth interviews, and document analysis for data collection. The findings reveal that these students demonstrate a profound grasp of core Islamic values, including etiquette (adab), moral character (akhlak), and devotion to Allah SWT, which are reflected in their everyday activities and social interactions. The pesantren itself plays a crucial role in nurturing the students’ spiritual character through consistent practices like habituation, group recitations (dhikr), and spiritual purification (tazkīyat al-nafs). Moreover, the support from their families significantly contributes to creating an environment that fosters the students’ spiritual growth.
Analysis of Intra-ASEAN Trade and Production Network
Authors:   Korea Association for International Commerce and Information, La Meeryung , Roh Jaeyoun
Published: October 2024

In the current trade environment, which emphasizes diversifying supply chains for securing economic security, ASEAN emerges as a key partner for Korea in supply chain diversification. Although individual ASEAN countries may not be attractive markets, but if ASEAN successfully builds a single market and production base as planned, ASEAN is expected to become a major partner in economic diversification. Therefore, this study empirically analyzes the effects of ASEAN economic integration on intra-regional trade, and examines the degree of economic integration occurring within ASEAN by analyzing the GVC production linkages among ASEAN countries. Unlike previous studies that have used the gravity model to analyze the effects of ASEAN’s AFTA, ATGIA, or ASEAN+1 bilateral FTAs on trade separately, this study conducts an empirical analysis considering both ATGIA and ASEAN+1 bilateral FTAs. Additionally, through GVC analysis utilizing the value-added trade data, this study examines both intra and extra ASEAN trade structures, and provides implications derived from the findings.

Published: October 2024

Resumen Esta investigación verificó las propiedades psicométricas de las Escalas de Preferencias y Aversiones a los Estilos de Liderazgo Docente (EPALD) en estudiantes universitarios españoles. Las EPALD evalúan tres estilos de liderazgo: democrático, autocrático y laissez-faire. Las nuevas generaciones de estudiantes muestran importantes diferencias en valores y actitudes, revelando la importancia de conocer la perspectiva del estudiante sobre el comportamiento docente. La versión española de las EPALD fue respondida por 319 universitarios catalanes con edades entre los 18 y los 36 años. El análisis factorial exploratorio con índices confirmatorios reveló un excelente ajuste de los datos al modelo de tres factores. Los análisis comparativos mostraron que un estilo predominantemente democrático tiene la mayor preferencia de los estudiantes. Los resultados indican que los estilos autoritario, democrático y laissez-faire son constructos útiles para investigar las percepciones discentes sobre la práctica docente, identificando conductas deseables e indeseables.

Published: October 2024

Abstract Intertwining feminist thought and cinema, this paper search the freshness of women’s desire in Carlos Reichenbach’s film Lilian M (1975), and try to recognize how the filmmaker interacts with the 1970s debates on sexuality and integrates them into the composition of narrative. The film analysis emphasizes the process of interchange between desire, female displeasure and the masquerade, as an auteur critical work, which does not disregard female agency, the domination-exploitation of women, nor the dialogues with voyeurism and the sexual adventures of erotic comedy.

BRANAGH’S “FRANKSTEIN”: THE MAKING OF MONSTROSITY IN FILM
Authors: Vugman Fernando Simão
Published: October 2024

Abstract Along human history the imaginary figure of the monster has always functioned as a reference to distinguish the human from the non-human, the civilized from the non-civilized, the good from evil. In Mary Shelley's Frankenstein film director Kenneth Branagh presents a very faithful adaptation of Shelley's story to cinema. In the present essay it will be analyzed how cinematic technical devices, and, particularly the visual resources, work to reproduce on the screen some of the issues which define human and monstrous characteristics and the human/monster opposition as they appear in the original story.
The Decision to (Re)Exist: Histories and Organizational Dynamics within a Quilombola Community in Minas Gerais, Brazil
Authors: Marquezini Hellen Cordeiro Alves , Guimarães Ludmila de Vasconcelos Machado , Barreto Raquel de Oliveira
Published: October 2024

Abstract This study aims to delve into the mechanisms by which the establishment of ethnic-racial identity safeguards the continuity of a Quilombola Remnant Community (CRQ). Employing psychosociology as its theoretical underpinning and adopting a collective life history methodological approach, this research was conducted within a CRQ situated in the metropolitan region of Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Brazil. Findings underscore the quilombo’s foundational structure, rooted in an ethnic-racial identity that galvanizes the elements of resistance, belonging, and lineage, all of which are pivotal for both the individuals and the quilombo’s continued existence. Identity formation emanates from the acknowledgment of ancestry, as individuals align themselves with their historical lineage, recognizing these forebears as integral to their own composition. Such identities foster a sense of belonging within quilombola subjects, thereby perpetuating the group’s (re)existence through a reappropriation of ancestral resistance. Resistance is intrinsic to identity because, prior to the decision of the quilombola subject to exist, resistance is imperative, given that external forces wish to undermine their existence. These markers not only underscore the resilience of the Arturos Quilombola Community (the CRQ under study) in sustaining life and rallying its constituents but also highlight its proactive stance in instituting organizational structures and adaptations in the face of the prevailing status quo.
Dever ser, ciência e ser na filosofia moral e na teoria jurídica: entre Mikhail Bakhtin e Hans Kelsen
Authors: Simões Pedro Henrique de Oliveira
Published: October 2024

RESUMO Neste texto, construímos diálogos entre a filosofia moral de Mikhail Bakhtin e a teoria jurídica de Hans Kelsen, analisando os entornos das noções de dever ser, ciência e ser. Os objetivos são: lançar luzes sobre o fundamento jurídico de Bajtín (1997), na perspectiva da filosofia moral como prima filosofia, que abarca a filosofia da religião e a filosofia do direito (Bajtín, 1997; Simões, 2024); e apontar considerações éticas para as ciências, particularmente para o Direito e a Linguística. A pesquisa é bibliográfica e o corpus é constituído, centralmente, pelas obras Hacia una filosofía del acto etico (Bajtín, 1997) e Teoria geral do Direito e do Estado (Kelsen, 1990). Nossas conclusões apontam para as contribuições de Bajtín (1997) que parecem autorais para uma perspectiva do dever ser no mundo da vida; e para o debate da ética nas ciências, particularmente em torno da relação do cientista com o dever ser.

Published: October 2024

Abstract Introduction: The postpartum period is a phase when women are susceptible to pelvic floor muscle dysfunction (PFMD) due to the gestational period; however, there is still a lack of quality evidence evaluating the effects of interventions on pelvic floor muscle recovery in postpartum women. Objective: To investigate the effects of pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) and low presure fitness (LPF) on discomforts associate with PFMD during the postpartum period. Methods: A randomized, placebo-controlled study was conducted with 35 women who gave birth at the Maternal and Child University Hospital (HUMAI) in the city of Ponta Grossa, Brazil. The study tested the effects of LPF and PFMT across three groups: LPF (n = 12), PFMT (n = 12), and minimal intervention/placebo (MI, n = 11). The three groups received the interventions online. Results: Training with LPF and PFMT resulted in better outcomes compared to MI for some disorders associated with PFMD after 12 weeks of treatment. LPF was most effective in improving the global score of the Pelvic Floor Bother Questionnaire (PFBQ) at 6 and 12 weeks, in reducing stress urinary incontinence at 12 weeks, and in alleviating dyspareunia at 6 and 12 weeks. Conclusion: LPF and PFMT can effectively reduce discomfort associated with PFMD during the postpartum period.
Constructed wetland for septic tank sludge management: drained water quality under different operating strategies on a bench-scale experiment
Authors: Santos Wagner Alex dos , Rodrigues Gabriela Anzanello , Soares Marcus , Medeiros Raphael Corrêa , Decezaro Samara Terezinha
Published: October 2024

Abstract The septic tank is commonly used for treating domestic effluents, especially decentralized treatment. However, it requires periodic maintenance, including the removal, treatment, and disposal of sludge, which can be difficult and costly. An alternative approach, aligned with the principles of the circular economy, is the use of wetlands sludge management units (WSMU). In this study, a bench-scale experiment was conducted using six WSMU (0.0177 m2 each) planted with Canna x generalis. Different total solids (TS) loads (15, 28, and 42 kg TS m-2 year-1) and saturation levels (0.10 m and 0.20 m) were tested, and a super-loading strategy was adopted at the beginning of the operation. Monitoring and analyses were carried out over the first 150 days of operation. The results demonstrated that already at the beginning of the operation, high removal efficiencies were obtained, especially in units with a 0.20 m saturation level, reaching 80% for TS, 93% for chemical oxygen demand, 98% for total Kjeldahl nitrogen, and 97% for orthophosphate. This work showed that WSMU are capable of a high level of treatment even with high solids loads at the beginning of operation. Furthermore, these results indicate that even larger loads can be tested to optimize treatment performance and reduce area demand. Thus, the WSMU configuration, as well as the operational strategies adopted in this paper, can be used in future, long-term, and full-scale research to better understand the active treatment mechanisms.

Aim. To evaluate the survival rate of patients with unresectable biliary malignancies under targeted chemotherapy in order to identify the most promising adjuvant regimens.

Materials and methods. The study involves publications in PubMed Central, RSCI, and Cochrane databases. Heterogeneity was assessed graphically (blobograms) and statistically (τ 2 and I2 ).

Results. Meta-analysis of five-year survival revealed a greater pooled estimate of the period in the main groups treated with targeted chemotherapy – 295 ± 71 days (95% CI 144–408; p <0.001) against comparison groups – 205 ± 81 days (95% CI 81–426; p <0.001). Study heterogeneity was considered moderate (I2 = 0%, p = 0.06). No significant publication errors and biases were revealed in both meta-analyses.

Conclusion. Targeted chemotherapy increases the overall survival of patients with unresectable malignancies of the bile ducts. Systemic chemotherapy based on gemcitabine and cisplatin with addition of ivosidenib, a selective inhibitor of mutant IDH1, showed the best efficacy.

In about 55–79% of patients, the vascular anatomy of the hepatic-pancreaticoduodenal area is characterized by a typical structure. In the rest of patients, the vascular and, primarily, arterial anatomy may vary due to both different variants of branches and additional arteries. Undoubtedly, this creates difficulties in surgical planning and performing pancreaticoduodenal resection. Vascular anatomic variations may contribute to increased intraoperative blood loss, postoperative complications, changes in the course and volume of surgery, and increased duration of hospital stay after surgery. Modern diagnostic methods, CT angiography in particular, facilitate the process of surgical planning and reduce the risk of unforeseen situations related to ligation or damage of arterial vessels, which are to be preserved during operations. In this work, we carry out a review of publications on the topography of arterial vessels in the area of pancreaticoduodenal resection. The issues related to anatomical variations in both trunk and pancreatic vessels are considered. Special attention is paid to the possible influence of variations in the vascular network structure on the course and volume of surgery, as well as the risk of intraoperative and postoperative complications.

Aim. To study the morphological features of the wall structure of the splenic artery aneurysm in order to identify the safest and most effective method of surgical treatment.

Materials and methods. From 2020 to 2023, 43 patients underwent surgery for true splenic artery aneurysm. Interventions involved laparoscopic clipping of aneurysm branches, laparoscopic resection of aneurysm, laparoscopic splenectomy, and resection of giant splenic artery aneurysm. A clinical and morphological study of 16 slides of splenic artery aneurysm was performed. The aneurysm wall and the adjacent wall of the splenic artery without macroscopic signs of lumen dilatation for 1 cm from the aneurysmal dilatation were examined.

Results. Microscopic study revealed fragments of loose, edematous wall of large elastic arteries with atherosclerosis, atheromatosis and calcification. Atherosclerotic plaques were observed in the intima; calcium deposits were detected in 81.25% of slides, and defects in elastic fibers – in all slides. The elastic membrane was thinned or had a discontinuous structure. Morphological changes in the wall of the splenic artery persisted up to 1.0 ± 0.2 cm proximal and distal to the aneurysm.

Conclusion. Taking into account the revealed features of the morphological structure of the aneurysm, the formation of an end-to-end vascular anastomosis of the splenic artery, clipping or suturing of the aneurysm neck pose a significant risk of aneurysm recurrence. Laparoscopic clipping of splenic artery aneurysm branches at a distance of >1.5 cm from the edges of the aneurysm becomes the operation of choice for patients in this category.

Aim. To determine specific features, frequency, and structure of complications, immediate and long-term results of liver transplantation in elderly patients.

Materials and methods. Data on 529 liver transplantations performed consecutively in one medical center from 2010 to 2023 were analyzed. In 386 (73%) cases, the right lobe of the liver of related donors was used for transplantation. At the time of surgery, the patient age ranged from 18 years to 71 years, with 57 (11%) patients being over 60 years old, 215 (40%) patients aged 44–59 years, and 257 (49%) patients aged 18–44 years.

Results. Prior to operation, elderly patients were statistically significantly more often diagnosed with arterial hypertension (n = 19; 33%), diabetes mellitus (n = 12; 21%), and on average a reduced glomerular filtration rate (82 ml/min/1.73m2 ). The most frequent indication for transplantation in this group was hepatocellular carcinoma in the setting of cirrhosis (n = 19; 33%). No statistically significant differences in other preoperative characteristics, parameters of donors and operations, peculiarities of the course of the early postoperative period, frequency, structure of complications and lethal outcomes were found. The one-, five-, and ten-year survival rates for recipients over 60 years old were 82%, 72%, and 36%; for recipients aged 44–59 years old – 88%, 79%, and 70%; and for recipients aged 18–44 years old – 86%, 80%, and 74%, respectively.

Conclusion. In the studied cohort, older age was not associated with excessive risks of complications and early postoperative mortality. Given the higher prevalence of comorbidities in this group, preoperative examination should be aimed at, among other things, diagnostics of possible (hidden) cardiovascular and oncologic diseases. The development and introduction of new cardio-, nephro-, and oncoprotective regimens of immunosuppressive therapy seems to be an important measure not only for the surgical treatment of elderly patients, but also for recipients living with a transplanted liver for a long time.

Aim. To evaluate an effect of fluorescence cholangiography for intraoperative identification of extrahepatic bile ducts on the treatment outcomes of patients with cholelithiasis.

Materials and methods. The study included 71 cholelithiasis patients who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy with fluorescence cholangiography and 69 cholelithiasis patients who underwent standard laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The study analyzed intraoperative damage of extrahepatic bile ducts and arteries, duration of surgery, conversion rate, need for colleague assistance, incidence of postoperative complications, hospital length of stay, and outcomes.

Results. Fluorescence of the vesicular duct was achieved in 100% of patients, of the common bile duct – in 91%, and of the common hepatic duct – in 64%. A correlation between the number/type of complications and the application of ICG-diagnostics was found statistically significant (p <0.001, p = 0.012), thereby indicating the advantages of the method. The colleague-surgeon assistance was required in the ICG group 35 times less than in the standard surgery group (OR = 0.029; 95% CI = 0.003–0.319). A 34-minute reduction in surgery duration (linear regression) can be expected when performing ICG-guided surgery.

Conclusion. The application of fluorescence cholangiography reduces the probability of postoperative complications, in particular, biliary leakage with the necessity of reoperation. Due to the method, a surgeon appears able to complete the operation independently without colleague assistance. Treatment outcomes, incidence of bile duct injuries, and conversion rate are yet to be investigated.
Analysis of Electrochemical Deposition of Polyaniline and Polyaniline Composites in Sodium Tungstate and Sodium Molybdate Solutions
Authors: Ünal Asuman
Published: October 2024

Although polyaniline has a high electroactivity in environments below pH 5, it loses its electroactivity in neutral and basic environments. In addition, polyaniline film does not give physically stable film when it becomes thick. For these reasons, polyaniline has been synthesized in the presence of other monomers or inorganic/organic species, leading to the obtaining of composite polymers with some new electrochemical and physical properties. In this study, novel composite polymer films of polyaniline were synthesized electrochemically in the presence of different concentrations of Na2MoO4.2H2O and Na2WO4.2H2O, and these composite polymer films were examined in monomer-free solutions for electrochemical investigation. As a result, the cathodic charge of polyaniline increased from 0.25 mC to 1.50 mC in the presence of 0.05 M Na2MoO4.2H2O. Also, the polyaniline/WO3 composite achieved a charge transfer of 0.42 mC in the presence of 0.25 M NiSO4.2H2O, 0.05 M NiCl2.6H2O, Na2WO4, Na2MoO4.2H2O, 0.4 M Na3C6H5O7.2H2O and 0.05 Na2WO4.2H2O as a metal source. These prove the better charge transfer during the redox reaction of the polyaniline composite film.
