The article is based on materials that were recorded by Yurii Alexandrovich Novikov and other members of the 1959 Moscow State University expedition in the area of the Mosha River basin in the Arkhangelsk region. A comparison of these materials with the texts that Aleksandr Fedorovich Gilferding recorded in the same region in the last third of the 19th century allowed us to trace the history of a family of epics performers over a period of almost a hundred years. The textual analysis of recorded byliny recited by representatives of the same family at different times shows the genetic continuity of these texts and their closeness at the plot, composition, and formula levels. It also reveals some mechanisms underlying the transmission of oral tradition within the family.

Authors: Salama Waleed Hemdan , Zhang Jian
Published: October 2023

Despite the increasing global interest in climate change and its consequent opportunities and challenges for business, the studies didn’t strongly emphasize green investment .the existing study essentially targets to investigate how to motivate behavioral intentions toward green investment with a moderating effect of religious commitment, depending on the theory of planned behavior (TPB). This study based on a sample of 410 individuals with investment experience as asked in the questionnaire. The results show that attitude, subjective norm, perceived behavioral control PBC and religious commitment (RC) have a significant relationship with investor’s behavioral intention toward green investments, Moreover religious commitment has a significant relationship with attitude towards green investment. The moderating effect of religious commitment supported the relationship between subjective norms (SN) and behavioral intentions toward green investment, but religious commitment doesn’t support the relationship between PBC and behavioral intentions toward green investments.

Authors: Ting Su-Hie
Published: October 2023

The study aimed to investigate areas of student weaknesses in aesthetics of posters for oral presentations. The objectives of the study were to: (1) identify the text features used in terms of text style, positioning on the poster, and amount of text; (2) describe use of colours for highlighting information and contrast with background; and (3) evaluate use of images in terms of relevance to content and position on the poster. The data were 15 posters created by 75 students working in groups of five for a university course and comments by their lecturer on the aesthetics of the posters. Analysis of the posters showed that the students had the most problems with text features and the least problems with size, relevance and positioning of images. Half of the posters showed good choice of colours for text and background, but the other half of the posters had visibility issues due to poor choice of colours and lack of contrast. The undesirable text features were excessive capitalisation and text-heavy posters resulting from the use of full sentences. The study identified particular points of weaknesses that students should be alerted to so that their oral presentation slides and posters are more aesthetically appealing to enhance the message.

Published: October 2023

Vietnam's economy is developing rapidly, it leads to the strong development of industries, including the marine and manufacturing industry. This has caused an explosion of demand for the protective coatings industry, especially the industrial and marine coatings. However, in Vietnam, although there have been many studies on the purchasing behavior of customers in the decorative paint segment, there have not been many studies on the buying behavior of industrial and marine paints. Therefore, this quantitative study aims to clarify the factors affecting the purchasing behavior of customers in the industrial and marine coatings sectors. Data is gathered from a survey with the participation of 300 customers who have been using industrial and marine paint products. The analysis results show that there are four factors that affect the purchasing behavior of customers, which are product quality, discount promotion, selling price and availability. In which, product quality is the factor that has the strongest impact on the purchasing behavior of customers in this field, followed by discount promotion, availability and selling price. While brand image factor has no effect on customers’ purchasing behavior. From the research results, a number of implications are proposed to suppliers of industrial and marine paint companies make appropriate strategic adjustment.
Housing inequality in relation to housing tenure: Evidence from Ho Chi Minh City
Authors:   Faculty of International Economic Relations, University of Economics and Law, VNUHCM, Vietnam, Huynh Thuy Tien
Published: October 2023

Unfair distribution of social resources, including valuable assets such as housing, leads to inequality and threatens the sustainable development of countries. This phenomenon is a hot issue, attracting the attention of many researchers worldwide. Ho Chi Minh City is considered one of the economic-financial centers of Vietnam, with a high average annual GDP growth rate, rapid urbanization, and the flow of migrant workers to live and work has increased rapidly in recent years. Although many achievements are based on outstanding developments, Ho Chi Minh city has faced many difficulties in housing policy due to the limited urban land fund, colossal population, and housing prices many times higher than the residents’ income. It is shown that there are difficulties in access to affordable housing in Ho Chi Minh City, especially for the population's low- and middle-income segments. This creates inequality and considerable pressure on housing development policy in urban areas. The article uses OLS regression to analyze issues related to housing inequality in Ho Chi Minh City in the relaion to living space and homeownership, then gives some implications for housing policy toward improving the quality of living standards in terms of residential conditions. Research data is taken from a survey of 700 households in Ho Chi Minh City conducted by the author in 2020. The results show that household income, working time, age, education, household size, and a household with small business activity at home affect the household living space area. In addition, these factors have different impacts on families with housing tenure. The author believes that in the future, the government should focus on improving education, providing stable jobs, and planning suitable housing places to ensure equitable distribution of social resources, including housing.

Published: October 2023

Spinal cord injury is a devastating event, and patients who have suffered a spinal cord injury may present to trauma emergency services in spinal shock. This subset of patients is likely to have concomitant systemic injuries, which may often require surgical interventions. All trauma patients should get sufficient pre-hospital care, including adequate measures to immobilize the spine. Because multiple organ systems are involved in these patients with spinal shock, anesthetic management for systemic injuries requiring surgery is challenging and necessitates a thorough understanding of the pathophysiology. The main goals of perioperative management are to provide oxygenation and maintain spinal cord perfusion to prevent secondary spinal cord injury while providing supportive care. Airway management invites a trained anesthesiologist to secure the airway while maintaining cervical spine immobilization. In this article, we review anesthetic considerations in managing spinal cord injury patients with systemic injuries in spinal shock requiring surgical interventions.

Published: October 2023

Background: To investigate the impact of early nutrition intervention and a critical care registered dietitian on the outcomes of neurocritically ill patients.Methods: Among neurosurgical patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) in a tertiary hospital from January 2015 to December 2019, A critical care registered dietitian co-management was initiated on May 1, 2017. The primary endpoint was ICU mortality. Propensity score matching (PSM) was used to control selection bias and confounding factors.Results: In this study, 1,386 patients were included. In the overall study population, nutrition was provided to 719 (51.9%) patients under the supervision of a registered dietitian. Early nutrition was performed for 356 (25.7%) patients. In the overall study population and the PSM adjusted population, rates of early parenteral nutrition (EPN) were higher in the groups managed by a registered dietitian than in the group without a registered dietitian (both p <0.001). In the overall and PSM adjusted population, the rates of ICU mortality, 28-day mortality, and in-hospital mortality were not significant different between two groups (all p > 0.05), but the group managed by a registered dietitian had a shorter hospital stay than the group without a registered dietitian (both p <0.02). In the multivariable analysis of the overall population and PSM adjusted population, EPN showed an association with ICU mortality. Conclusions: The rate of EPN utilization increased after the implementation of co-management with a critical care registered dietitian, and the use of EPN was associated with lower ICU mortality in neurocritically ill patients.

Authors: Haley Matt , Hoenig Anna , Sapkota Biggya
Published: October 2023

Hemichorea-hemiballismus (HC-HB) is a hyperkinetic disorder characterized by violent, unilateral jerking movements which usually improve to choreoathetosis with time. Etiology of HC-HB has been demonstrated in case reports and series, with acute stroke being one of the known etiologies. Among the rare post-stroke hyperkinetic syndromes, HC-HB is the most common. However, there is limited data on management and long term follow up of this debilitating condition when related to acute stroke. Here we describe a 79-year-old gentleman with acute caudate stroke, with resulting HC-HB, whose symptoms were managed with haloperidol while hospitalized. Resolution of HC-HB and subsequent discontinuation of haloperidol yielded an optimal patient outcome. Long term follow-up for this patient has demonstrated lack of symptom recurrence at 1 year. This case further supports the use of neuroleptics such as haloperidol as first line for management of HC-HB.

Authors: Youn Susy , Jang Chang Ki , Kim Jung-Jae
Published: October 2023

Background: In the era of endovascular treatment for intracranial aneurysms, microsurgical treatment might necessitate the minimization of postoperative discomforts such as headache, nausea, vomiting, and edema. The current study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of hyaluronidase on the reduction of periorbital edema after clipping surgery for unruptured intracranial aneurysms. Methods: From July 2016 to March 2018, the patients who underwent elective surgery for unruptured intracranial aneurysms were included. A mixture of 4500 IU hyaluronidase was injected subcutaneously on the sectional plane of the scalp incision. The photographs of patients’ faces were obtained on postoperative day 1, 3, and 7. The degree of periorbital edema was judged on the grading system based on the vertical palpebral aperture. The thickness of the scalp, temporalis muscle, and soft tissue was measured on a preoperative computed tomography (CT) scan, and other variables (e.g., intraoperative input and output, serum albumin level) were Results: A total of 60 patients were included in this study, and a hyaluronidase mixture was injected in 30 patients. The periorbital edema tended to resolve in 7 days after surgery, but notable differences between the two groups was observed at day three after surgery in this study. On the ordinal logistic regression analysis on the grade of periorbital edema, hyaluronidase injection is significantly associated with the reduction of periorbital edema throughout the postoperative period. (p value < 0.05)Conclusion: Hyaluronidase injection might be helpful in reducing periorbital edema after surgery for unruptured intracranial aneurysms.

Published: October 2023

Background: Midline catheters (MCs) and peripherally inserted central venous catheters (PICCs) are placed by a specialist or trained nurse to avoid the complications of conventional central venous catheters (CCVCs). The safety of MC placements by residents has not been evaluated. We investigated the safety of ultrasound-guided MC placement by neurosurgery residents as a substitute for CCVC placement in patients in the neurosurgical intensive care unit (ICU) requiring intravenous (IV) therapy ≤14 days.Methods: Between July 2022 and June 2023, 57 MCs for 44 patients, 36 CCVCs for 35 patients, and 32 PICCs for 32 patients were placed during their ICU stay. One resident performed all MC placements under ultrasound guidance. The baseline and procedure-related parameters of the three catheter groups (MC, CCVC, and PICC) were analyzed, with focus on the comparison of complications between MC and CCVC.Results: The first-attempt success rate was significantly higher (p=0.003) in the MC group (96.5%) than in the CCVC group (80%). Insertional injuries occurred more frequently in the CCVC group than in the MC group (13.3% vs 0%, p=0.012). The rate of completion of therapy was significantly higher (p=0.002) in the MC group (86.0%) than in the CCVC group (53.3%). The incidence of bloodstream infections did not differ significantly between the MC and CCVC groups (p=0.605). Conclusion: MCs placed under ultrasound guidance by neurosurgery residents for neurosurgical ICU patients is safe and may be a substitute for CCVC indicated for IV therapy ≤14 days.

Published: October 2023

The 3D reconstruction technology which is one of various restoration technologies, implements and shapes 2D pixels of an object that actually exists in a 3D form. As an accurate 3D model for artificial intelligence learning information pre-processing is required. The pre-processing needs to accurately size information and coordinate information of a 3D object for artificial intelligence learning. Also, the 3D model data generated during the preprocessing can be represented as a point cloud, which is point-based coordinate data. In this study, the pixel data was analyzed by voxelizing the 3D model for artificial intelligence learning, and the 3D model data was digitized to form a mesh file. In this study, 3D modeling was done with a 3D modeling tool and the object was exported to STL. In addition, it was converted into mesh file data including 3D coordinate data in Python language on Google’s colab platform. The mesh data created in this way is used in DataSet for artificial intelligence learning (CNN, RNN, GAN). Currently, there are many datasets for 2D artificial intelligence learning, but this study provided an opportunity to collect 3D artificial intelligence learning datasets. The research results can be used in the fields of robots, autonomous driving, games, and product design.

Published: October 2023

When introducing a new, promising crop to an area, farmers can be assisted in selecting the crops and varieties that are most suitable for commercialization by doing an assessment of the yield characteristics. Hibiscus sabdariffa var. sabdariffa, as Roselle, is valued as a food crop for its great nutritional potential, vibrant pigment richness, and therapeutic significance. However, there is little information available because it is a very recent crop in Bangladesh. Finding the morphotype that performed the best given the yield characteristics was the study’s main goal. Green plant with green calyx (WC), light red plant with light red calyx (LRC), and deep red plant with deep red calyx (DRC) were the performed morphotypes of Roselle. A number of morphological (plant height, stem perimeter, branches & capsule features etc.) and biochemical (total chlorophyll, carotenoid and phenolic content) were evaluated. For their yield characteristics, all morphotypes were noticeably distinct from one another. While plant height was identical in both LRC and DRC, DRC performed better in terms of capsules number produced per plant (av. 273.00 plant-1 capsules weighing 1779.10 g). Shelling ratio (% calyx to capsule) was also greater in DRC (av. 41.90%) than other two morphotypes. Dry matter content was greater in stem with branches and leaf, irrespective of morphotypes. Mature leaves of LRC had significant levels of total chlorophyll (1.34 mgg-1FW). In our study phenolic content reduced as capsule size increased in WC but not in LRC or DRC. In contrast to the other three morphotypes, the deep red plant with deep red calyx (DRC) performed the best, according to our study.

Published: October 2023

Tourist guides are considered to be a key element of the tourism industry and perform important tasks such as providing tourists with information about destinations, offering cultural experiences and ensuring their safety. However, this professional group may often face unethical behaviors. Unethical attitudes towards tourist guides can be caused by travel agencies, accommodation companies, tourists and other tourist guides. Unethical behavior can reduce the motivation and performance of tourist guides, negatively affect tourists' destination experience and damage the reputation of the tourism industry. It is of great importance for the development of the tourism sector that tourist guides behave ethically as well as the stakeholders in the tourism sector. In order to encourage tourist guides to work more ethically, measures such as training, supervision mechanisms, better working conditions and the establishment of ethical codes should be taken. In this study, unethical behaviors that tourist guides are exposed to were tried to be identified and solutions were offered to overcome these problems. The research data were obtained through face-to-face interviews with 12 certified tourist guides residing in the Marmara region. According to the results of the research, sub-dimensions such as acceptance of below-base wages, illegal guiding, not communicating tour cancellations of agencies to tourist guides, not paying for the services provided, stealing a tour by another tourist guide, ideological pressure, and not conducting the necessary inspections frequently enough came to the fore as unethical behaviors encountered by tourist guides.

Published: October 2023

Purpose. To determine the influence of the geotectonic regime during accumulation of carbon formation on development of coal-bed properties of the northern Donbas. Methodology. To perform the tasks set, a number of research methods were used which include petrographic, chemical and technological, facies and tectonic, computational, statistical and analytical, informational, chronological, genetic, comparative and other methods. Findings. The effect of the geotectonic regime on the formation of coal properties has been established. It is proved that the change in the number of maceral groups is of a regular nature. The reduction in the number of maceral groups of liptinith and irtinitis, in the light of the increase in the number of maceral wind group, is taking place in the direction of the growth of the total amplitude and average speed of the oscillating movements of the Earth’s crust during the accumulation of carbon formation. Originality. Coal formation is considered regarding a unified geodynamic perspective as an integral part of a complex set of natural processes that accompanied the development and interaction of deep structures (plates) of the lithosphere. The main attention is paid to the peculiarities of the composition and quality of coal formed under geodynamic conditions with different motion nature of the lithosphere. For the first time, comparative analysis of the coal-bearing formation of the middle Carboniferous period of the Old and Northern Donbas has been performed. Detailed petrographic and chemical-technological characteristics are given to the coal seams of the Northern Donbas. The peculiarities of the composition and quality of the coal of the deltaic-bog-marine formation have been determined for the first time compared to the coal of other formations of the Middle Carboniferous. Practical value. Regional (“provincial”) peculiarities of coal composition and quality of deltaic-bog-marine and alluvial-bog- marine formations of northern Donbas regions have been defined, which will allow substantiating the directions of its rational use. The proposed approach makes it possible to predict coal content as well as composition and quality of coal in the areas of distribution of bituminous coal. The expediency and prospects of adding the coal of northern Donbas to the fuel base of Ukraine are proven.

The study on the carrying capacity of the drilling mud in a laboratory installation is carried out by simulating the process of its pulsations at different frequencies. The choice of the studied frequencies was made on the basis of previous studies. The evaluation of the influence of factors on the efficiency of rock removal was carried out using Latin experimental plans, which allowed us to evaluate the influence of the selected factors with a minimum number of experiments without losing the quality of the result. Findings. The influence of factors (mud flow rates, eccentric placement of the drill string, plastic viscosity of the drilling mud, pulsation frequency, rotation of the drill string) on the efficiency of cuttings removal along the annular space of the wellbore is analyzed. Three factors with the best interaction were found, which made it possible to build dependencies of their influence on the efficiency of rock removal on the surface. The effect of changing the frequency of pulsations of the drilling mud has been studied, and graphical dependences of their influence on the decrease in the volume of rock particles in the annular space have been obtained. Originality. Based on the results of experimental studies, the effectiveness of the impact of drilling mud pulsations on cleaning the well from rock particles has been proven. Practical value. The effectiveness of the use of drilling mud pulsations for hydrotransportation of cuttings along the horizontal section of the wellbore has been confirmed.

Purpose: To evaluate the role of performing photocoagulation up to ora serrata during vitrectomy in preventing recurrent vitreous hemorrhage (VH) in patients undergoing pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) for proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR).Methods: This retrospective, nonrandomized study included 60 eyes from 60 patients who had undergone PPV for VH due to PDR. These patients were divided into two groups: group 1, those who underwent photocoagulation up to ora serrata using the scleral indentation technique during surgery; and group 2, those who did not undergo scleral indentation when photocoagulation and underwent photocoagulation up to vortex veins. Their hospital records were analyzed to investigate the recurrence rate of VH, the time until recurrence of VH after surgery, logarithm of the minimal angle of resolution (logMAR) best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) measured before surgery and at 1, 2, and 3 years after surgery, and the occurrence of complications such as neovascular glaucoma (NVG) during follow-up.Results: Group 1 exhibited lower recurrence rate of VH (2 of 30 [6.7%] vs. 10 of 30 [33.3%], p = 0.01) and lower occurrence of postoperative NVG (2 of 30 [6.7%] vs. 8 of 30 [26.7%], p = 0.038) compared with group 2. There were no statistically significant differences in logMAR BCVA measured at 1, 2, and 3 years between the two groups (at 1 year: 0.54 ± 0.43 vs. 0.54 ± 0.44, p = 0.954; at 2 years: 0.48 ± 0.47 vs. 0.55 ± 0.64, p = 0.235; at 3 years: 0.51 ± 0.50 vs. 0.61 ± 0.77, p = 0.200). Logistic regression analysis showed that among several factors that could affect recurrence rate of VH, only range of photocoagulation performed was a statistically significant factor (odds ratio, 0.119; 95% confidence interval, 0.022–0.659; p = 0.015).Conclusions: Photocoagulation treatment over a wider range with scleral indentation could be a beneficial adjunct procedure for preventing postoperative recurrent VH following diabetic vitrectomy.

Purpose: Methotrexate (MTX) is an immunosuppressive agent used to treat noninfectious inflammatory eye conditions and is generally administered orally for ocular inflammatory diseases. When used in rheumatological diseases, subcutaneous administration has been reported to show higher efficacy than oral administration. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the effect of subcutaneous MTX in patients with refractory uveitis or choroiditis who did not respond to other immunosuppressive agents.Methods: A retrospective case series study was performed between January and December 2018. Patients with uveitis or chorioretinitis who showed little to no treatment response for 6 months or more with conventional immunosuppressive agents were treated with MTX, administered subcutaneously. After 6 months of treatment, patients were evaluated to determine whether complete suppression of inflammation sustained for ≥28 days was achieved in both eyes and whether improvement can be confirmed by fluorescein angiography (FAG).Results: Subcutaneous MTX treatment was performed on 18 patients: 11 had intermediate uveitis and seven had posterior uveitis. In the intermediate uveitis patient group, five patients (50% of the group excluding one patient who dropped out) showed improvement in FAG and three patients (30%) showed complete suppression of inflammation. In the posterior uveitis group, two out of seven patients (excluding two patients who dropped out) showed an improvement, two patients in the group showed little change, and one patient showed aggravation of FAG findings.Conclusions: The study confirmed that in patients with uveitis or chorioretinitis who had a refractory response to treatment with other immunosuppressive agents, subcutaneous MTX showed improved treatment efficacy.

The foraging range of central-place predators is limited by spatiotemporal and energetic constraints. Gadfly petrels Pterodroma spp. are seabirds well adapted to travel vast distances in oceans with sustained wind conditions, although our understanding of their foraging ecology in these heterogeneous and highly dynamic environments is still limited. We studied the foraging behaviour, habitat use, ecological niche and diet of the Endangered Bermuda petrel P. cahow, endemic to the western North Atlantic. We used GPS loggers to track foraging trips during incubation and early chick-rearing in 2019 and 2022, and employed DNA metabarcoding coupled with stable isotope analyses to reveal dietary habits. Our analyses showed that petrels travelled over a vast area of the western North Atlantic while foraging over deep, pelagic waters. Specifically, in the early chick-rearing phase, they reduced their foraging range and time spent at sea compared to incubation. Foraging locations were associated with varying sets of environmental variables between breeding phases, including mesoscale oceanographic features, distance to the colony and wind speed. Petrels also showed narrow isotopic niches, and the ranges of δ15N and δ13C values suggested consistency in trophic habits. Finally, we found high taxonomic diversity in the diet, including exclusively meso-bathypelagic fishes and cephalopods. Our results contribute critical new knowledge on Bermuda petrel foraging-behaviour plasticity, a feature that can help predict how a small population of an endangered species may respond to climate-related changes in wind regimes and oceanic processes expected in the North Atlantic Ocean.
Handling- or digestion-limited predators: the role of body mass and habitat complexity in predator functional response

The predator functional response quantifies the per capita feeding rate of predators as a function of prey density and is a key element of feeding interactions. Variations in its parameters are strongly associated with interaction strength and population dynamics. We examined 18 functional responses within marine whelk-bivalve systems, varying predator body size, prey species, and habitat structure. Our findings suggest that the marine whelk Rapana venosa is handling-limited, a predator type that has received less attention in previous research. We propose further categorizing handling-limited predators into 2 types: pursuit-limited (where maximum feeding rate could be influenced by habitat complexity) and ingestion-limited (where maximum feeding rate is impacted not by habitat complexity, but by predator-prey body mass ratios and prey defense strategy). We found that handling time scales negatively with predator-prey body mass ratios, but this trend exhibits layers of complexity. We propose that the transition from handling to digestion limitation with increasing predator-prey body mass ratios underlies this trend. Our study also confirms the importance of prey types, in addition to known effects of body mass ratios and habitat structure. In summary, our study reveals that simple assumptions about body masses and prey defense strategy may usefully refine estimates of feeding interactions in complex food webs.
