Published: April 2024

Intermediate nerve neuralgia (INN) is a rare pathology with difficult diagnostics and currently there is no generally accepted surgical management protocol. In this regard, an optimal surgical strategy in this case is a difficult task. The aim was to determine an optimal approach for surgical management of patients with INN using intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring (IONM).

The INN was diagnosed in a patient, a vestibulo‑cochlear complex dissection with intermediate nerve sectioning under IONM control of was performed intraoperatively. There was the earache regression, but there were gustatory disorders in the anterior portion on the left side of the tongue in the early postoperative period. In the late postoperative period, a delayed facial nerve paresis and signs of liquorrhea were diagnosed, which were completely regressed after reoperation and medication. The follow‑up period was more than 12 months; a stable regression of otoalgia was achieved. Intermediate nerve sectioning is an effective and common technique for the treatment of patients with INN. IONM improves surgical results and reduces a likelihood of different complications.

Published: April 2024

The text classification task has a wide range of application domains for distinct purposes, such as the classification of articles, social media posts, and sentiments. As a natural language processing application, machine learning and deep learning techniques are intensively utilized in solving such challenges. One common approach is employing the discriminative word features comprising Bag-of-Words and n-grams to conduct text classification experiments. The other powerful approach is exploiting neural network-based (specifically deep learning models) through either sentence, word, or character levels. In this study, we proposed a novel approach to classify documents with contextually enriched word embeddings powered by the neighbor words accessible through the trigram word series. In the experiments, a well-known web of science dataset is exploited to demonstrate the novelty of the models. Consequently, we built various models constructed with and without the proposed approach to monitor the models' performances. The experimental models showed that the proposed neighborhood-based word embedding enrichment has decent potential to use in further studies.

It can beconcluded that effective prudential supervision is an integral part of the system of prudentialregulation of banking activity and is of crucial importance for maintaining the stability of thebanking sector, which is confirmed during the analysis of systemic banking crises.
TO THE QUESTION ABOUT THE GROUNDS FOR AN EMERGENCY SEARCH
Authors:   Donetsk State University of Internal Affairs, Smirnov O.S.
Published: April 2024

The issue of conducting an urgent search and legalizing its results for use in evidence is one of the most controversial in the theory and practice of the criminal process. The criminal procedural legislation provides for two grounds on which it is possible to break into a person’s home or other property without the owner’s voluntary consent or the decision of the investigating judge: 1) saving people’s lives and property; 2) direct prosecution of persons suspected of committing a criminal offense. Instead, the analysis of law enforcement practice and doctrinal sources indicates the debatable nature of a number of issues related to determining the grounds for an emergency search. The purpose of the article is to obtain scientific results in the form of theoretically grounded provisions regarding the grounds for conducting an emergency search, as well as formulating proposals for improving criminal procedural legislation based on them. The article analyzes the concept of «urgency» of investigative (search) actions in general and search in particular. Based on the analysis of the practice of the European Court of Human Rights and doctrinal sources, the author comes to the opinion that the urgency of the circumstances under which the search is conducted on the basis of part 3 of Art. 233 of the Criminal Procedure Code of Ukraine must be objective and sufficient to ensure proportionality between the restriction of the rights and legitimate interests of a person when entering a home or other property and the purpose of conducting such a search under specific circumstances that must be determined in each specific case. It is noted that the understanding and interpretation of the grounds for conducting an urgent search both in the theory of the criminal process and in the practice of implementing Art. 233 of the Criminal Procedure Code of Ukraine should be carried out on the basis of a comprehensive analysis of all the circumstances of the criminal proceedings, conditions and investigative situation that exist at the time of this investigative (search) action, ensuring the legality of the purpose of the search and the balance of public and private interests. It is proposed to make changes to Part 3 of Art. 233 of the CCP of Ukraine.

The role of the court and the parties to the judicial examination of the accused, witnesses and victims under the new Criminal Procedural Code of Ukraine 2012 The article defined the essence of the terms «direct» and «cross examination of witnesses and victims. It is noted that during the trial examination of witnesses have not used the free form of presentation is indicated, but the answers to the questions, and offer a free presentation about the presiding evidence applies only questioning the accused. Prosecutors and defense counsel in the trial of criminal proceedings to ensure performance of their judicial functions of prosecution and defense special attention should be paid to the observance of procedural order, the correct strategy and tactics of direct and cross-examination of witnesses and victims, as in the wider use of elements of competition under the new Code of Ukraine are more likely to receive from the person being questioned necessary information to verify the legal positions of the parties. It is noted that the court does not conduct questioning, but only monitors compliance with the rules of its implementation by the parties. The judge may, in protest parties take matters which do not concern the merits of the criminal proceedings and in case of ambiguity in the testimony of a witness, victim regarding the presence or absence of particular circumstances, to require the witness to a clear answer to the question – «yes» or «no», but ask your questions and the presiding judge can only after the witness put the question victim, civil plaintiff, civil defendant, their representatives and legal representatives or other evidence in the study. The problem of participation of the accused (defendant) in the «direct» and «cross the interrogation of witnesses and victims under the provisions of international conventions and European Court of Human Rights and is a conclusion that the defendant, as it relates to the defense shall have the right, even in the presence of counsel, to take part in the questioning of witnesses and victims.

Over the past 3 years, the number of new cases of brucellosis has increased in the Russian Federation. Brucellosis remains an important problem in regions with developed livestock farming; however, cases of diseases in animals and humans can also be recorded in other regions.
The article describes an outbreak of brucellosis in a peasant farm affecting 148 heads of cattle and 4 farm employees in the Novosheshminsky municipal district of the Republic of Tatarstan. The disease was caused by Brucella abortus. Epizootic and epidemiological maps of the outbreak, sanitary and epidemiological survey activities, and sanitary and hygienic characteristics of the working conditions were analyzed. Data from the case histories of four peasant farm workers with brucellosis are also presented.
The most likely cause of the epizootic was the unauthorized import of cattle, and infections in humans were caused by noncompliance with working conditions and personal-protective measures by farm workers.
Brucellosis cases are more often recorded in endemic areas. However, with poor veterinary and sanitary control in any territory, epizootics are possible, which pose a danger in terms of damage to the national economy and possible infection in humans, primarily the professional risk groups. The disease does not have pathognomonic symptoms and can be suspected only if doctors are aware of them, evaluate the results of preliminary and periodic medical examinations with laboratory examinations of “at-risk” populations, and subject them to a thorough collection of epidemiological history.

Authors: Borodin Yu. I. , Gorchakova O. V. , Gorchakov V. N.
Published: April 2024

The problem of the formation of new lymphoid structures (neolymphogenesis) is quite controversial and widely discussed in the literature. Under normal conditions, lymphoid organs arise only in the process of fetal development (organogenesis), however in long-standing chronic inflammatory processes, non-healing wounds, autoimmune diseases, oncologic pathology spontaneous formation of new lymphoid structures was noted. The structures of the peripheral lymphoid formations include the lymphocytes arranged singly and in clusters (infiltration), lymphoid nodules and lymph nodes. The morphogenesis of the components of lymphoid tissue and the possibility of creating artificial lymphoid structures, reproducing the function of the natural ones, is demonstrated. Important role in the development of lymphoid structures is played by mediators of inflammation, cytokines of the family of lymphotoxins, tumor necrosis factor. The possibilities of prosthetic substitution of the functions of the lymphoid structures are described for the activation of protective processes in the body.
Denoising Seismic Waveforms Using a Wavelet-Transform-Based Machine-Learning Method
Authors: Quinones Louis , Tibi Rigobert
Published: April 2024

Seismic waveform data recorded at stations can be thought of as a superposition of the signal from a source of interest and noise from other sources. Frequency-based filtering methods for waveform denoising do not result in desired outcomes when the targeted signal and noise occupy similar frequency bands. Recently, denoising techniques based on deep-learning convolutional neural networks (CNNs), in which a recorded waveform is decomposed into signal and noise components, have led to improved results. These CNN methods, which use short-time Fourier transform representations of the time series, provide signal and noise masks for the input waveform. These masks are used to create denoised signal and designaled noise waveforms, respectively. However, advancements in the field of image denoising have shown the benefits of incorporating discrete wavelet transforms (DWTs) into CNN architectures to create multilevel wavelet CNN (MWCNN) models. The MWCNN model preserves the details of the input due to the good time–frequency localization of the DWT. Here, we use a data set of over 382,000 constructed seismograms recorded by the University of Utah Seismograph Stations network to compare the performance of CNN and MWCNN-based denoising models. Evaluation of both models on constructed test data shows that the MWCNN model outperforms the CNN model in the ability to recover the ground-truth signal component in terms of both waveform similarity and preservation of amplitude information. Model evaluation of real-world data shows that both the CNN and MWCNN models outperform standard band-pass filtering (BPF; average improvement in signal-to-noise ratio of 9.6 and 19.7 dB, respectively, with respect to BPF). Evaluation of continuous data suggests the MWCNN denoiser can improve both signal detection capabilities and phase arrival time estimates.

Septin Filament Assembly Conditions and Fluorescent Assay Development
Authors:   , Brinckman Eric David , Padrick Shae B , Loll Patrick J.
Published: April 2024

Septins are a family of GTP-binding proteins that have important roles in cytokinesis and the regulation of other cytoskeletal proteins such as microtubules and actin. Changes in septin organization have been associated with pathogenic states including neurodegenerative disorders, cancers, and viral infections. Despite our growing understanding of the roles septins play in cytoskeletal activities and diseases, we understand relatively little about how septin polymerization is controlled and guided to specific intracellular locations. Using biochemical assays, I have characterized how changing salt and pH conditions influence mammalian septin assembly in bulk solution. I have found that pH sensitivity of the system is substantial, which was previously unrecognized. These experiments provide insight into how septin polymerization may be regulated in cells. Moreover, I use this new knowledge to develop a novel fluorescent sensor for septin assembly. Using the known hexamer structure and polymerization interface, the Padrick lab has designed septin complexes with unique surface cysteine mutations. I use these to introduce environmentally sensitive fluorophores in targeted locations. Our current design reports spectral changes that mirror the assembly as detected using other metrics and functions even at low labeling fraction. We hope to use this improved sensor to quantify septin filament assembly in solution, on membranes, and on other cytoskeletal surfaces, revealing how septin filament assembly is controlled in the cell.

This study aimed to investigate the influence of hiring paths of businesses employing the disabled on the employment quality of workers with disabilities. For this purpose, multiple and logit regression analysis was conducted utilizing 2021 Survey on the Employment Status of the Disabled in Business. In terms of employment stability, compensation, potential for development, and relationships, it was found that the quality of companies that directly recruited workers with disabilities was higher than companies that indirectly recruited through job agencies. In terms of working conditions, awareness and understanding of persons with disabilities, it was found that the quality of employment of companies with indirect recruitment was higher than companies with direct recruitment. This study is meaningful in that it identifies the quality of employment that companies provide to workers with disabilities. In addition, various implications were suggested by analyzing the effect of the hiring paths of companies with disabled employees on each dependent variable that evaluates the quality of employment.
Loading-Dose Dupilumab May Function as a Prophylactic Agent for Food-Induced Anaphylaxis: A Case and Review of the Literature
Authors: Watkins Dean E. , Fredrickson Kaylee , Malerich Patricia
Published: April 2024

Recent advances in targeted therapy using monoclonal antibodies have revolutionized care in many fields, and dupilumab for the treatment of moderate-severe atopic dermatitis is no exception. While on a trial of loading dose dupilumab, a 25-year-old white male with a past medical history significant for anaphylaxis after ingesting peanuts and tree nuts did not experience anaphylaxis after accidentally consuming almonds. Similarly to anti-IgE, the large-scale inhibition of IL-4 and IL-13 signaling to various immune cells involved with type II hypersensitivity reactions using loading dose dupilumab may have played a role in preventing anaphylaxis in this patient. The role of loading dose dupilumab as a potential prophylactic agent against food-induced anaphylaxis could be explored cautiously as a novel way to reduce both morbidity and mortality in patients with these allergies.

The article focuses on the necessary improvements to the microprocessors that are designed to operate computer systems in various extreme environmental conditions, especially space. Technical aspects of the process of changing the bit ratio (operating mode) of the microprocessor under the influence of aggressive environment are viewed. This effect is aimed at improving the reliability of the microprocessor, and for these purposes the mechanisms of the microprocessor as well as the coprocessor (as one of the components of modern microprocessors) are considered. The principle of dynamic control of read/write operations to the register is addressed, as well as new operations were considered - reducing the bit capacity of calculations, which implies changing the mode of operation of the microprocessor, and reducing the number of cores – “logical” isolation of the damaged core in the microprocessor from the operating functionality. A mechanism for separately storing floating point components of the IEEE-754 standard has been proposed for the coprocessor, and methods of implementation have been shown.

Features of financial support for environmental projects in the green economy
Authors: Gadzhiev N. G. , Pleshakov A. M.
Published: April 2024

The article is devoted to the study of the main forms, methods and problems of financing environmental projects within the framework of the functioning of the green economy, taking into account the specifics of the functioning of the domestic financial system. The relevance of the study lies in the fact that achieving the main parameters of the declared green economic course is impossible without the use of the most progressive forms, methods and instruments of financial support for environmental projects. The purpose of the work is to study the theoretical aspects of financial support for environmental projects in the Russian Federation, contributing to the transition to a green economic course and increasing efficiency in the implementation of these projects.

When conducting the study, general scientific methods of cognition were used: – dialectical materialism, inspection observation; methods of economic and statistical analysis, comparison and generalization were used to generalise domestic and foreign experience in the financial support of environmental projects.

Having studied the features of financial support for the green economy, the team of authors concluded that there is a predominance of state financing of investment projects in the field of ecology, while the mechanism of public‐private partnership in fact does not function at the proper level and private investments in environmental projects are unattractive from the standpoint of profitability and profitability. Currently, the volume of financing for the transition to the “green deal” is at the level of 20–25% of the required need for the implementation of an ambitious project: in this regard it is necessary to search for ways aimed at increasing the efficiency of financing the green economy.

The authors studied the features of financial support for environmental projects in the green economy. Financing problems are identified and recommendations for solving them are given.
Closed‐loop economics in waste management: financing procedures and results
Authors: Yabbarova R. I.
Published: April 2024

To analyze the procedure and main results of financial support for the implementation of a closed‐cycle economy in the subjects of the Russian Federation.

Statistical data and strategic planning documents. The method of analysing the legal and regulatory framework and statistical reporting, as well as the structure of the federal budget, were used. The study is also based on the application of methods of comparison and contrast, grouping, historical and factor analysis.

The key role of the state in the creation and effective functioning of the integrated system of solid municipal waste management (MSWM) is determined by the ability to concentrate the necessary financial resources and guarantee uniform standards and requirements for system participants to achieve the stated goals of the closed cycle economy (CCE). Uniform standards and requirements for system participants must be guaranteed to achieve the stated objectives of the closed cycle economy (CCE). This is confirmed by the results of the financing of the TCO management system for 2019–2023, when the federal budget financed activities to the amount of 42.3 billion rubles. For the purposes of the federal EZC project, 8.6 billion rubles were allocated. It is important to ensure off‐budget financing of these activities and modernization of domestic enterprises, for which the use of secondary raw materials is available and economically feasible. The priority of measures to implement CCE in the Russian Federation is financial support for the creation and development of infrastructure for waste collection and recycling.

The processes on improvement of the regulatory and legal framework and personnel training are related to the need to implement a "top‐down" approach, which determines the centralisation of decision‐making and the efficiency of attracting extrabudgetary funds dominating in the financial support of the functioning of the TCO management system and implementation of CCE.

Study of the structural parameters of petroleum acids isolated from oil from the Priozernoye field and analysis of their possible negative impact on the environment.

The object of the study is and naphthenic acids isolated from the oil of the Priozernoye field. The research was carried out using modern instrumental methods: gas‐liquid chromatography, IR‐spectroscopy, 13C NMR, 1H NMR spectroscopy and elemental analysis.

The high degree of oxidation of the oil studied was confirmed. Extraction with dichloromethane and subsequent analysis of the organic extract using IR‐Fourier spectrometry proved that part of the petroleum acids entered the aqueous phase, which poses a serious threat to the biological diversity of this region. The structural parameters of “medium” molecules of petroleum acids isolated by leaching from three distillate fractions of this oil have been established. It is shown that the products isolated during leaching have a molecular weight of 294–574 amu and contain from 20 to 40 carbon atoms, most of which are part of the naphthenic structures. Along with petroleum acids, leaching products include hydrocarbons.

Comparison of the structural parameters of the products isolated from the fractions of the studied oil with the data in the scientific literature allows us to qualify the acids contained in the oil of the Priozernoye field as being substances with high toxicity, which requires finding ways to solve the problem of ensuring the environmental safety of this region.

The aim is to show the regulatory significance of promoter organs of morphogenesis in a stable state of the kidneys of vertebrates (fish, birds) and humans. Material and methods. 118 embryos at stages 12-23 of Carnegie (SC) and 28 human fetuses of 9-12 weeks of fetogenesis, 268 embryos of meat chickens (cross "Hibro PG +") from the stage of 48 hours to 20 days of broiler egg incubation, 50 fry of peled Coregonus peled were studied (Gmelin, 1788) at the stage of yolk sac atrophy (stage 36-37 according to the classification of Detlaf, 1975). To study the method of light microscopy, the material fixed in a 10% neutral form, embedded in paraffin. Sections stained with Mayer's hematoxylin and eosin, McManus CHIC method. Ki-67, CD31, CD34, positive cells are detected by immunohistochemistry. Primary kidney examination by low-vacuum electron microscopy. Embryos and human fetuses are observed in the Tyumen health care facility during medical abortion on demand in anamnestic healthy women with their warning about emergency work. Observation chicken embryos at the poultry farm “Tyumensky Broiler”, incubation workshop (Kaskara village, Tyumen region). Morphometric analysis and statistical processing of the actual material were carried out. Results. It was shown that the organotypic differentiation of the intermediate mesenchyme and the formation of nephrons of the provisional and definitive urinary organs control the state of the mesonephric duct and metanephritic diverticulum. The mesonephric duct initiates the organotypic antibiotic of the perifocal intermediate mesonephric mesenchyme and detects the proximodistal vector of saltatory mesonephronogenesis. The metanephritic diverticulum and its daughter branches initiate the organotypic differentiation of the intermediate mesenchyme and control the fan mechanism of metanephronogenesis. Activity of nephronogenesis Determination of the dynamics of convergence of immunocompetent cells. The absence of ventrodorsal generation of mesonephrons in humans is associated with a significant vital cycle of a normal kidney, atrophy of the mesonephric duct, and a decrease in the activity of immunocompetent cells. An increase in the expression of CD31, CD34, Bcl-2, Ki-67 positive cells is realized in combination with the formation of nephron rudiments as the promoter organs move in the developing organ of urinary formation. Conclusion. Prenatal organogenesis monitors and constantly monitors the formation of promoter organs of morphogenesis - the mesonephric duct and the metanephric disserticulum.

Unveiling the Determinants of Self-Service Technology Adoption: A Case Study of Fast-Food Restaurants in Indonesia
Authors: ‎‎Wiyata ‎ , Roziqin Datu Kusuma Arya
Published: April 2024

This paper delves into the dynamics of self-service technology (SST) with the plan to use it in fast-food restaurants, focusing on pivotal determinants that shape users’ intentions to engage with these technologies. Leveraging the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) framework, the study investigates the influence of various variables such as performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social influence, habit, facilitating condition, and technology anxiety on users’ intentions to use self-service technologies. To gauge consumers’ intentions regarding SST use when ordering food and drinks, we conducted a field survey, with 272 customers participating at one of the largest Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) outlets in Indonesia. The findings suggest that certain variables such as habit, influence the desire to integrate SST as well as performance and effort expectancy, whereas facilitating condition and social influence do not exert a significant impact. As anticipated, factors related to technology anxiety impede customers’ intentions to use SST. These findings are anticipated to provide a better understanding of both academic research and practical implications for the use of SST within the fast-food industry.
Keywords: SST, intention to use, performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social influence, habit, facilitating conditions, technology anxiety

Published: April 2024

The banking sector has the potential to progress and grow sustainably. This is reflected in the increase in the value of distributed funds and the value of commercial bank assets. However, this increase was not in line with the increase in company value. Therefore, companies must be able to optimize their resources to increase corporate value. This study aims to analyze and explain the factors that can affect corporate value. The variables used in this research are corporate governance as an independent variable, financial performance as a mediating variable, and corporate value as a dependent variable. The type of research used is explanatory research with a quantitative approach. The samples for this research were Bank Rakyat Indonesia (BBRI), Bank Mandiri (BMRI), Bank Negara Indonesia (BBNI), and Bank Tabungan Negara (BBTN). The data analysis was done using descriptive statistical analysis and partial least squares (PLS) analysis which is processed using SmartPLS software. The results of this research indicate that corporate governance has a negative and insignificant effect on corporate value. Furthermore, corporate governance variables also had a negative and insignificant effect on financial performance. Apart from that the results also show that the financial performance variable is not able to mediate the relationship between corporate governance and corporate value significantly. The practical implication of this research was to encourage banking management in Indonesia to implement good corporate governance as it can boost financial performance.
