Ali Smith’s Companion Piece and the Value of Close Reading
Authors: Amiel Houser Tammy
Published: March 2024

Ali Smith’s Companion Piece (2022) expands on the exploration of apathy and anomie undertaken in the Seasonal Quartet, further connecting these experiences to a pervasive sense of despair in contemporary society. Once again, Smith reflects on the role of the arts, seeing in them a vehicle for hope and change. In an interesting twist, Companion Piece focuses specifically on the effects of close reading, pointing to the way it opens opportunities for unexpected connections that can escape the divisive competitiveness of contemporary neoliberalism. I suggest that the novel’s preoccupation with close reading responds to the intense debates in literary studies about post-critical methods of reading, while entering a dialogue with I. A. Richards’s notion of practical criticism. Yet Companion Piece revises Richards's framework, extending the target of close reading to include a variety of artworks, material objects and natural phenomena. It also widens the focus from individuals to the relationships between them, depicting close reading as a catalyst for intersubjective bonding. The transposition of Richards’s argument to a contemporary neoliberal context broadens the role of close reading, granting it greater relevance and urgency. For Smith, the aimless attentiveness of close reading becomes an act of rebellion against the market imperatives of speed and efficiency. As it highlights the anomaly of close reading in the neoliberal milieu, Companion Piece implies that it can unsettle the neoliberal profit-maximizing paradigm, boost the imagination, and enable new ways of connecting with people, animals, and even the environment.

The quality of healthcare is an emerging concern worldwide. The term “Quality” has been appropriately defined and fairly well understood. However, many problems in delivering quality healthcare persist and these require urgent attention and solutions. An industrial grade quality performance is still a distant dream in the healthcare sector. There are a variety of reasons for this, chiefly the complexity of medicine and disease itself. An error rate as high as 9.36% has been reported in clinical laboratories. These errors mainly occur in the pre-analytical stage of testing. Modern quality management tools like the six sigma concept offer realistic solutions to reach practical levels of perfection. The response of clinical diagnostic laboratories has been very slow in adopting these techniques to improve the quality of a process. It is imperative that healthcare in general and clinical diagnostic laboratories in particular promote and develop a culture of safety with the aid of modern quality management tools.

DA TRANSGRESSÃO À REDENÇÃO: O MONSTRO EM CONTO DE FADA
Authors: Azambuja Patrícia , Brito Ísis Morais Furtado
Published: March 2024

Utilizando como referencial teórico Stuart Hall (2016; 2006; 2003) e Michel Foucault (1996; 2001), sob a mediação discursiva do filme de animação A pequena sereia (1989), este trabalho busca compreender a relação entre a imagem midiática e a construção de valores representados culturalmente, em especial, a vilania associada à figura estigmatizada do monstro. Trata-se portanto de estudo sobre a construção dos sujeitos contemporâneos, por meio do discurso, da identidade, dos estereótipos, bem como, suas conexões com as estruturas antropológicas do imaginário e os arquétipos; sob a ótica de  Gilbert Durand (2012) e Gustav Jung (2002, 1995, 1976), para enfim compreender as formas que algumas políticas de representação institucionalizadas fazem a manutenção das práticas de hierarquização e poder nos contextos identitários.

Microwave device for heat treatment of meat by-products and waste
Authors: Voronov Evgeny V. , Novikova Galina V. , Mikhailova Olga V. , Prosviryakova Mariana V. , Suslov Sergey A.
Published: March 2024

BACKGROUND: In the conditions of farms, there is a problem of neutralizing unpleasant odors during heat treatment of secondary meat raw materials to preserve the consumer properties of protein feed at low operating costs.
AIM: Development of the device for heat treatment with disinfection and neutralization of the unpleasant odor of crushed secondary meat raw materials with the integral effect of an ultra−high frequency electromagnetic field, a bactericidal flow of UV rays and ozone in a continuous mode with electromagnetic safety ensured.
METHODS: The raw materials are the stomach chambers of ruminants. The basic idea, principle of operation and design of the device are based on the propagation of microwave oscillations in a resonator with a spiral decelerating system. The microwave device contains a non-ferromagnetic cylinder with a perforated lower base, a coaxially arranged non-ferromagnetic spiral cylinder and an electrically driven fluoroplastic auger with a solid screw surface. The average perimeter of the annular volume, between the cylinder and the spiral cylinder forming the coaxial resonator, and its height are multiples of half-wavelength. Corona brushes are mounted to the annular base of the cylinder, under which electric gas discharge lamps powered by 1 kHz frequency generators are radially located, and a ceramic annular spherical surface is located under the lamps. Magnetrons are mounted along the perimeter of the outer cylinder with a shift of 120 degrees. The crackling is removed using a pneumatic conveyor.
RESULTS: The feature of the coaxial resonator is that the inner core is formed as a spiral decelerating system. Therefore, the intrinsic Q-factor of the resonator is high, about 115000, therefore, the expected thermal efficiency is 0.7–0.75. The factor of dielectric losses of raw materials with a decrease in humidity from 76% to 30% is reduced by five times. Thus, while keeping the electric stress at the level of 1.2–2 kV/cm, the electromagnetic field power dissipated in a unit of the volume of the crackling decreases by five times, from 34 500 to 6800 W/cm3.
CONCLUSIONS: A new design solution with a spiral coaxial resonator, the use of a ceramic reflector, and a number of physical factors made it possible to develop the design of the operation chamber for the heat treatment of ruminant slaughter waste with the neutralization of unpleasant odors with a capacity of 30–35 kg/h and specific energy costs of 0.16–0.19 kWh/kg.
Genetic determinants of atopic dermatitis
Authors: Grebennikova Inna P. , Morrison Anna V. , Lipatova Tatiana E. , Yeremina Maria G.
Published: March 2024

Atopic dermatitis is a heterogeneous disease, the pathogenesis of which is associated with mutations of genes encoding structural proteins of the epidermis, barrier enzymes and their inhibitors.
The article analyzes data from the works of various authors on the study of gene expression in atopic dermatitis, and notes the role of genes regulating innate and adaptive immune responses, as well as environmental factors inducing the disease. Recent studies indicate a key role of epigenetic changes in the development of the disease. Epigenetic modifications are mainly mediated by DNA methylation, histone acetylation and the action of specific non-coding RNAs. It has been documented that the profile of epigenetic changes in patients with atopic dermatitis differs from that observed in healthy individuals.
Understanding epigenetic changes is critical for developing personalized treatment strategies.

Authors: Olisova Olga Yu. , Teplyuk Natalya P. , Martynenko Daria M. , Dunaeva Ekaterina R. , Grekova Ekaterina V.
Published: March 2024

Deverji's disease is a rare idiopathic skin disease characterized by keratinization disorder and manifested in follicular hyperkeratosis, orange-red peeling plaques, palmar-plantar keratodermia with the possible development of erythroderma. The etiopathogenesis of this dermatosis is still unknown. There are such possible trigger factors as traumatization, ultraviolet radiation, taking certain medications, autoimmune and oncological diseases, bacterial or viral infection, vaccination. The presence of familial cases is due to a mutation in the CARD14 gene. Diagnosis of the disease is based on characteristic clinical symptoms. The histological picture has no pathognomonic features; however, a biopsy is necessary for differential diagnosis with other papulosquamous dermatoses. Treatment of Deverji's disease remains a difficult task, since the disease pathogenesis has not been fully studied.
The article describes a clinical case of Deverji's disease manifestation in a 64-year-old woman who had suffered COVID-19 infection twice. She was admitted to the Department of Dermatology and Venerology (Sechenov University) with complaints of skin rashes on her face, trunk, upper and lower extremities, accompanied by severe itching. The absence of any distinctive clinical and histological changes, the torpidity of the skin process and resistance to the therapy made it difficult to make a diagnosis. After the emergence of characteristic clinical symptoms (palmar-plantar keratodermia, salmon-tinged rashes with islands of healthy skin), as well as the results of repeated histological examination (alternating areas of ortho- and parakeratosis; uneven granular layer; vacuolization of basal cells; uneven broad acantholytic strands; loosened dermo-epidermal junction; small perivascular lymph-macrophage infiltrates) Deverji's disease was diagnosed.
The use of standard therapies (systemic glucocorticosteroid therapy, methotrexate, topical therapy) did not give any results, and therefore it was decided to initiate the netakimab. After 5 injections, the first positive results were obtained in the form of the color paling and a decrease in the number of rashes, palmar-plantar keratodermia regression and improvement of the patient psychoemotional state. After 11 injections, almost complete remission was achieved, and treatment was continued until all symptoms disappeared completely.
The article provides a literature review of the etiopathogenesis, clinical manifestations and treatment methods of Deverji's disease. The described clinical case is the fifth example in the world of the Deverji's disease manifestation after a COVID-19 infection, and is also the first case of the IL-17 inhibitor netakimab successful use for the disease treatment.
Prevalence and clinical signs of inflammatory back pain in patients with skin psoriasis and axial involvement
Authors: Pereverzina Natalia O. , Kruglova Larisa S. , Korotaeva Tatiana V.
Published: March 2024

BACKGROUND: The incidence of psoriatic arthritis has been increasing in recent years. Moreover the number of severe cases resistant to standard therapy has been increasing as well and leading to a marked deterioration in the quality of life and early disability. There is a need to diagnose the disease at preclinical stages, as well as early therapy and secondary prevention. Therefore, the role of dermatologists in identifying predictors and risk factors for the development and severe course of psoriatic arthritis is increasing. Particularly severe forms of psoriatic arthritis are caused by axial manifestations, which are often clinically asymptomatic in early stage of psoriatic arthritis. Moreover, most often axial manifestations is diagnosed in patients with an already established diagnosis of psoriatic arthritis, and there is practically no data on the prevalence and clinical and instrumental characteristics of axial manifestations in patients with smooth skin psoriasis.
AIM: to assess the prevalence and clinical characteristic of axial manifestations in patients with skin psoriasis using questionnaires, scales and Аssessment of SpondyloArthritis International Society (ASAS) diagnostic criteria.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: The prospective study to assess the prevalence and clinical characteristiс of axial manifestations in patients with skin psoriasis.
RESULTS: The prevalence of axial manifestations in patients with skin psoriasis, according to ASAS criteria, was 36.1%. Early manifestations of axial lesions in patients with skin psoriasis are aching, nagging pain in the back (37.2%) or neck (22.1%), as well as a feeling of stiffness in the back (46.3%) or neck (38.9%). The main risk factors and predictors of the development of psoriatic arthritis were the long duration of skin psoriasis (more than 12 years), pain in any joints, swelling of the fingers, pain/stiffness in the neck, pain/stiffness in the back, pain in the joints at rest/night time, widespread (BSA 18 points), severe (PASI 13 points) process. Having back/neck pain at rest or at night increases the odds of developing inflammatory pain by 132 times and 10 times, respectively, and back/neck stiffness by 10 and 6 times, respectively. Increasing the age of onset of back/neck pain by 1 year increases the chances of developing axial lesions by 1.3 times.
CONCLUSION: There is the first study to identify clinical signs of inflammatory back pain in patient with axial manifestations at early stage of psoriatic arthritis and to determine the prevalence of inflammatory back pain in patients with skin psoriasis and without an established diagnosis of psoriatic arthritis. However, further study of methods for early diagnosis of axial manifestations and other forms of psoriatic arthritis is necessary to optimize treatment and improve the quality of life of patients.

Methods: The research sample comprised 303 individuals employed at a private hospital. The study followed a descriptive-cross-sectional design. Data collection encompassed participant background information, inquiries regarding the İstanbul Convention, and the Gender Roles Attitude scale (GRAS).
Results: Nurses accounted for 47.2% of the participants, and women constituted 68% of the sample. Within the subgroup endorsing Türkiye’s withdrawal from the İstanbul Convention, 85% expressed that concepts like gender identity and sexual orientation were incongruent with Turkish societal norms. The participants attained an average GRAS score of 146.61±25.68, indicative of their egalitarian outlook. Notably, GRAS scores displayed considerable variation across all demographic traits. Respondents favouring the İstanbul Convention-related queries exhibited positive GRAS scores.
Conclusion: The study’s findings indicated that individuals with advanced education, females, unmarried women, nurses, those from nuclear families, individuals born in the Marmara region, those without strong political leanings, and those who pursued an egalitarian perspective exhibited elevated mean GRAS scores. As a suggestion, introducing gender role education at the primary school level and implementing in service training within healthcare institutions could be valuable.

Objective: Sex determination has been found interesting in forensic handwriting examinations and has been researched by scientists. The inclusion of the sex parameter as a supporting element in the examination of forensic handwriting while deciding belonging will increase the reliability of the results. In this study, it was aimed to investigate the contribution of the ascender and descender parts of the letters to sex prediction by measuring them.
Methods: In line with this purpose, handwriting samples were collected from 50 female and 50 male participants by having them write 11 sentences containing the letters “b, d, f, g, h, k, t, y, p” at initial, medial, and end positions. The ascender and descender parts of these letters were measured in millimeters. Logistics, k-nearest neighbor (KNN), support vector machine (SVM) and artificial neural network (ANN) were selected and applied to these data.
Results: The ascender and descender parts of these letters were measured in millimeters and statistically significant differences were found between male and female participants. The ascender parts of the “b, d, h, k, t” were determined to be statistically significantly longer in males. Accuracy rates are 0.65, 0.60, 0.71 and 0.82 for Logistics, KNN, SVM and ANN, respectively.
Conclusion: In our opinion, this result is promising. If the studies on this subject are increased, higher success rates can be achieved, and more contributions can be made to forensic handwriting examination.

Este artículo propone aumentar la calidad y rendimiento en la elaboración de sushi en forma de rollos con diferentes sabores mediante la combinación de las filosofías Lean Manufacturing y Six Sigma. Estudio de naturaleza documental, de investigación básica que propone una aplicación práctica en la industria alimentaria que puede ser de utilidad para empresas de esta industria. El enfoque se divide en cinco etapas: definición del problema, medición del problema, análisis de causas, mejora del proceso y control del proceso. Lean Manufacturing busca la mejora continua mediante la eliminación de desperdicios y optimización de procesos, mientras que Six Sigma se centra en la reducción de variación y mejora del desempeño. La propuesta se enfoca en mejorar la producción de una empresa de rollos de sushi. Se aplican herramientas estadísticas para identificar problemas y fuentes de variación. Luego, se implementan mejoras, como la aplicación de las 5’S y la estandarización de procesos, para aumentar el rendimiento y reducir residuos. Se espera incrementar la rentabilidad y mejorar la productividad a largo plazo. La integración de ambas filosofías, Lean Manufacturing y Six Sigma, se considera posible, pero se advierte que requerirá un cambio cultural en la organización. Aunque la metodología estructurada con el uso de herramientas estadísticas es factible, se sugiere implementar el enfoque en etapas y en procesos adicionales una vez que haya tenido éxito en el primer proceso. En conclusión, el uso de Lean Six Sigma puede conducir a mejoras significativas en la calidad y eficiencia de la producción de sushi.

Working capital management strategies and financial performance: A cause-and-effect analysis
Authors: Panigrahi Ashok
Published: March 2024

This study attempts to validate whether the working capital management strategies can be considered as the causes of good or bad financial performance of an organization, particularly in Indian cement industry. Whether the decisions of finance managers of Indian cement companies concerning the components of working capital such as account receivables, inventory, accounts paybles, cash holding etc. affect the firm’s performance individually and in total, a sample of 31 Indian cement companies listed on the Bombay Stock Exchange are being selected and their financial statements are analyzed for a period of 11-years (2010-2020). The findings of Pearson’s correlation coefficient and random effect regression model analysis show that there exists a negative relationship between financial performance measured in terms of return on assets (ROA) and inventory turnover period (ITP) as well as accounts payable period (APP). In contrast, a firm’s performance is not significantly affected by the accounts receivable period (ARP) and cash conversion cycle (CCC). Similarly, it has been observed that liquidity ratios such as current ratio (CR) and quick ratio (QR) have a significant positive association with ROA. Moreover, the size of the firms and leverage are inversely related to ROA but the age of the firms is not significantly affecting their financial performances.
