Advancing Medical Resident Scheduling
Authors: Gaal Alexander , Dummer Wolfgang , Sobottka(1 Thomas , Ansari Fazel , Schlund Sebastian
Published: September 2023

A Residency Scheduling Problem (RSP) is a tactical scheduling problem that assigns residents to specific training modules and hospitals to ensure adequate training over a 4-6 year planning horizon to acquire the postulated medical skills. There are currently about 8000 residents in training in Austria, and each hospital has several people involved in resident scheduling. These include the curriculum manager, the planners, the doctors and the human resources departments, who manually assign the residents to the individual training modules on a monthly basis, taking into account the numerous requirements of various stakeholders. Some of these requirements relate to elements of fairness, such as the number of months without training, violated preferences and hospital changes, which should be equally balanced across all residents. The goal is to find a feasible schedule for the residents that satisfies all the requirements, taking into account the trade-offs between the technical feasibility (hospital and legal requirements) of the rotation schedule, the ethical social aspects (fairness and equity), and the achievable quality of education (fulfilling preferences, uninterrupted education). This paper considers a real RSP and proposes a hybrid problem-solving approach consisting of a rule-based heuristic and an evolution-based metaheuristic. The heuristic corresponds to the actual planning logic used in hospitals and has been translated into a set of rules. A test dataset with almost 100 trainees is used for development and evaluation. The results show that the approach can produce (near) optimal solutions in a short time. A comparison with the currently used manual approach shows significant improvements and advantages. In further developments, an evaluation with real data sets from several hospitals is planned.

Изучено влияние способов основной обработки почвы под чистый пар (вспашка на обычную глубину, глубокое чизелевание, мелкое дискование) на плодородие каштановых почв Нижнего Поволжья и урожайность сортов озимой пшеницы (Лилит, Ермак St, Камышанка 6) различной селекции. Биологическая активность почвы под сортами была слабой и составляла по вспашке 16,3 – 17,4 %, чизелеванию — 18,6 – 20,1 %, дискованию — 10,6 – 10,9 %. Наилучший пищевой режим почвы обеспечивался при выращивании сортов Камышанка 6 и Лилит, при посеве которых содержание нитратного азота, подвижного фосфора и обменного калия отмечено соответственно как низкое, среднее и повышенное: 13,0; 20,7 – 20,8 и 381,3 – 381,6 мг/кг почвы; перед уходом в зиму: соответственно 11,6 – 11,8; 15,7 – 15,9 и 368,6 – 369,3 мг/кг почвы. При весеннем возобновлении вегетации растений содержание элементов питания в пахотном слое почвы было самым высоким и соответствовало по нитратному азоту и подвижному фосфору среднему значению: 15,4 – 15,5 и 24,8 мг/кг почвы, по обменному калию — повышенному: 398,0 – 399,2 мг/кг почвы. К уборке содержание основных элементов питания в почве снижалось. Самую высокую урожайность обеспечивал сорт Лилит на фоне глубокого чизелевания — 3,94 т/га, что выше, чем в контроле (сорт Ермак), но при вспашке, на 0,88 т/га или 28,8 %. Сорт Лилит можно рекомендовать для выращивания в условиях сухостепной зоны каштановых почв Нижнего Поволжья.

Liberalizm, belli bir özgürlük anlayışıyla mülkiyet ve pazarı temele alır. Bu nedenle özgürlüğün, özel mülkiyet ve pazar düzeniyle tamamlandığını iddia eder. Özgürlük ve özel mülkiyet arasındaki ayrılmaz ilişki, özellikle klasik liberallerin iddia ettiği şekliyle her insana hayatını istediği şekilde yaşama olanağı sağlamaktadır. Bir insanın hayatını istediği şekilde düzenlemesi; istediği işi kurabilmesini, istediği işe yatırım yapabilmesini ve istediği işte çalışabilmesini de kapsar. Sözleşme özgürlüğü, çalışma özgürlüğü ve angarya yasağı olarak anayasalara da giren bu anlayış herhangi bir pazarda, pazarın doğal koşullarına aykırı şekilde arz ve talebe müdahale edilmemesini gerektirir. Bu çalışma, klasik liberalizmin genel kavrayışla hali hazırdaki ticari taksi düzenlemesinin uyumunu incelemektedir.
PROPERTIES OF EKRANOSEMS OF THE CITY OF LVIV
Authors: Borys Yaroslav , Teleguz Oleksiy
Published: September 2023

Ekranozems are urban soils that occupy a significant area of cities and play an important role in urban ecosystems, because they have a wide range of properties. One of the main features of ekranozems is the presence of a closed impermeable layer - a screen, that is, an artificial surface, which includes asphalt concrete, paving stones, sidewalks, etc. At the same time, thanks to the processing of scientific and literary sources, it should be noted that ekranozems are still little-studied and under-researched due to their inaccessibility. They are the result of a variegated relief, the influence of zonal and climatic conditions of soil formation and anthropogenic factors. It is clear that these interactions varied depending on the location and age characteristics of the city. The structure, composition and properties of ekranozems, as well as their functioning, are determined by the structural features of roads, driveways, footpaths, etc., as well as the features of anthropogenic impact (before sealing) on the soil, taking into account its natural features in certain conditions of soil formation.
Ekranozems occupy a significant part of the territory of the city of Lviv and are characterized by a great variety of properties. As a result of their stay under asphalt concrete and pavement surfaces, such negative processes as a decrease in water permeability, a decrease in the concentration of oxygen in the soil, and a change in the water regime occur. There is also soil compaction and a decrease in general sparability during the improvement of the territory. These soils are united by their lack of humus throughout the profile. The studied ekranozems are characterized by the presence of calcium carbonates throughout the profile, which are brought, for the most part, during the construction and laying of networks, as well as various repair works on the road. The acid-base properties of ekranozems are represented by the alkaline reaction of the soil environment, which is caused by the presence of carbonate salts (pH ranges from 7.7 to 8.1), which causes a slowdown in soil-forming processes and, as a result, a change in soil quality.
Keywords: ekranozem; urban soil; sealed soil; urban ecosystem; anthropogenic soil; Lviv plateau; cultural layer.
On the distribution of unique range sets and its elements over the extended complex plane
Authors: Mallick S.
Published: September 2023

In the paper, we discussed the distribution of unique range sets and its elements over the extended complex plane from a different point of view and obtained some new results regarding the structure and position of unique range sets. These new results have immense applications like classifying different subsets of C to be or not to be a unique range set, exploring the fact that every bi-linear transformation preserves unique range sets for meromorphic functions, providing simpler and shorter proofs of existence of some unique range sets, unfolding the fact that zeros or poles of any meromorphic function lie in a unique range set, in particular,identifying the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra to a more specific region and many more applications. We have also posed some open questions to unveil the mysterious arrangement of the elements of unique range sets.
Analytic in the unit polydisc functions of bounded L-index in direction
Authors: Bandura A. , Salo T.
Published: September 2023

The concept of bounded $L$-index in a direction $\mathbf{b}=(b_1,\ldots,b_n)\in\mathbb{C}^n\setminus\{\mathbf{0}\}$ is generalized for a class of analytic functions in the unit polydisc, where $L$ is some continuous function such that for every $z=(z_1,\ldots,z_n)\in\mathbb{D}^n$ one has $L(z)>\beta\max_{1\le j\le n}\frac{|b_j|}{1-|z_j|},$ $\beta=\mathrm{const}>1,$ $\mathbb{D}^n$ is the unit polydisc, i.e. $\mathbb{D}^n=\{z\in\mathbb{C}^n: |z_j|\le 1, j\in\{1,\ldots,n\}\}.$ For functions from this class we obtain sufficient and necessary conditions providing boundedness of $L$-index in the direction. They describe local behavior of maximum modulus of derivatives for the analytic function $F$ on every slice circle $\{z+t\mathbf{b}: |t|=r/L(z)\}$ by their values at the center of the circle, where $t\in\mathbb{C}.$ Other criterion describes similar local behavior of the minimum modulus via the maximum modulus for these functions. We proved an analog of the logarithmic criterion desribing estimate of logarithmic derivative outside some exceptional set by the function $L$. The set is generated by the union of all slice discs $\{z^0+t\mathbf{b}: |t|\le r/L(z^0)\}$, where $z^0$ is a zero point of the function $F$. The analog also indicates the zero distribution of the function $F$ is uniform over all slice discs. In one-dimensional case, the assertion has many applications to analytic theory of differential equations and infinite products, i.e. the Blaschke product, Naftalevich-Tsuji product. Analog of Hayman's Theorem is also deduced for the analytic functions in the unit polydisc. It indicates that in the definition of bounded $L$-index in direction it is possible to remove the factorials in the denominators. This allows to investigate properties of analytic solutions of directional differential equations.

Utilizing Real-Time Test Data to Solve Attenuation Paradox in Computerized Adaptive Testing to Enhance Optimal Design
Authors: Chen Jyun-Hong , Chao Hsiu-Yi
Published: September 2023

To solve the attenuation paradox in computerized adaptive testing (CAT), this study proposes an item selection method, the integer programming approach based on real-time test data (IPRD), to improve test efficiency. The IPRD method turns information regarding the ability distribution of the population from real-time test data into feasible test constraints to reversely assembled shadow tests for item selection to prevent the attenuation paradox by integer programming. A simulation study was conducted to thoroughly investigate IPRD performance. The results indicate that the IPRD method can efficiently improve CAT performance in terms of the precision of trait estimation and satisfaction of all required test constraints, especially for conditions with stringent exposure control.

The structure of a layered composite material with a Ti—Al—Nb matrix reinforced with sapphire fibers has been studied. The composite was produced by diffusion welding under pressure of a multilayer package of alternating titanium and aluminum foils and unidirectional sapphire fibers, the gaps between which were filled with a suspension of niobium powder in polyethylene glycol. The strength of the prototype composite during the three-point bending test was 460 MPa at 20 °C and 140 MPa at 1100 °C. The deformation curves and developed fracture surfaces indicate the non-brittle nature of the fracture of the composite structure containing brittle components.

Published: September 2023

The manipulation of financial reporting and data reliability in statements has become increasingly prevalent since the Enron scandal in 2001, with companies employing various strategies to enhance their stock prices and attract investors, occasionally resorting to unethical practices. Benford’s Law, a mathematical tool dating back to 1938 and popularized by mathematician Nigrini in 1995 for analyzing tax declarations, is employed in this study as a means of identifying potential accounting irregularities. Benford’s Law, also known as the “law of the first digit”, asserts that numbers starting with one are three times more likely to appear in datasets than predicted by a normal distribution, with calculable probabilities. This study aims to validate European companies’ data using Benford’s Law. The paper explores the theoretical underpinnings of Benford’s Law, reviews key research on the subject, and examines methods for assessing the reliability of reporting data. Additionally, the paper contains an analysis of data from European companies. Based on this analysis, an algorithm has been developed, enabling the verification of reporting data and the assessment of their compliance with Benford’s frequencies. This approach proves valuable for examining financial reporting in various industries, countries, and individual companies. The findings help identify which European countries and sectors have the highest occurrences of financial statement falsification or intentional adjustments.
Evaluating the Effectiveness of the Tax System and Incentives: Criteria and Methods in Russian and International Research
Authors:   Ural Federal University, Rozenberg A. V. ,   PricewaterhouseCoopers Ltd
Published: September 2023

The task of evaluating the effectiveness of the tax system is crucial for two main reasons. Firstly, it aligns with global efforts to improve financial transparency and combat economic inequality. Secondly, in Russia, this assessment is especially important as it pertains to reducing offshore activities in the national econo­my and refining the tax framework to boost economic growth and address the aftermath of the 2022 recession and financial shock. This study examines research by Russian and international scholars on the effectiveness of the tax system and incentives. Emphasizing the diverse perspectives in constructing tax systems, our study aims to review the contemporary approaches in Russian and international literature and to ascertain their applicability in enhancing the Russian tax system. We employed the snowball method to source academic materials, starting with searches in international databases and the Russian e-Library using keywords like “taxation”, “tax system”, etc. The selection was then broadened by reviewing references cited in these articles. Our analysis covered 48 publications, categorized into four clusters: economic inequality, economic growth, investment, government budget, and tax burden. Our study underscores the effectiveness of employing regression analysis for the comprehensive evaluation of national tax systems. It also highlights the importance of supplementary research methods when assessing national tax systems, particularly considering the influence of the international taxation system. This approach allows for a more nuanced understanding of each country’s specific dynamics. Looking ahead, our research can serve as a valuable tool for appraising the efficacy of the Russian tax regime in regulating cash flow movements, including those to the Republic of Cyprus, a key offshore jurisdiction for the Russian economy prior to the onset of the 2022 crisis.

This study addresses the challenge of aligning state support, primarily in the form of national projects, with the development of small and medium-sized businesses. The realization of this task, however, is hampered by the existing tax legislation. The aim of this study is to assess the tax potential of a particular region (Sverdlovsk region, Russia) within the broader framework of regional development initiatives. The study relies on a variety of methods, including fiscal, resource-based, institutional, inter-budgetary, productive, reproductive, and transactional methods for assessing the tax potential of the region. Additionally, the study compares these methods and shows the need to expand the theoretical framework to include systemic and investment approaches. The former considers factors such as the regional shadow economy and state influence in assessing the tax base, while the latter focuses on financial capabilities, income sources, and the potential for expanding the tax base. The investment approach aims for a synergetic effect through state subsidies, attracting investments, boosting the gross regional product, and setting the limits for tax potential growth. The article presents findings from modeling the tax potential and assessing its evolution when applying a specially designed subsidized taxation system for Sverdlovsk region. It also offers insights into the anticipated increase in tax revenues for businesses and individual entrepreneurs in Sverdlovsk region resulting from the implementation of this tax system. The findings demonstrate that the implementation of this taxation system, particularly for small businesses, is projected to increase the tax potential of Sverdlovsk region by 2.54 % by 2024 when compared to the baseline year of 2021. These results can serve as a foundation for further research on the accumulation and activation of tax potential in various regions and offer valuable insights for regional authorities in their decision-making processes.

Published: September 2023

The article is devoted to the issues of rational use of secondary carbon-containing solid products of coke production: coke sludge, dust from aspiration units and coke fines. These issues are particularly relevant in the context of a widespread deterioration in the raw material base and, in particular, a shortage of coking coal, which leads to a deterioration in both coke yield and quality. This state of the coal raw material base is expected to continue for a long time. Therefore, for coke plants, the problem of waste-free, rational utilisation of small products of blast furnace coke production is of particular relevance. The article presents the results of studies of coke fines and argues the main directions of their qualified use. The technologies and schemes of design solutions for the qualified utilisation of solid fines of coke products and their transformation into highly liquid marketable products are considered. A review of modern methods of "cold" briquetting using water-soluble binders such as lignosulfonate, molasses, starch, liquid glass, ureaformaldehyde resin, etc. was carried out. The possibility of replacing up to 15 % of the main binding materials with coke production products: coal tar, polymers of the benzene department, and tar from a biochemical plant was established. It is shown that the addition of acidic resin worsens the strength of coke oven briquettes and cannot be recommended for use. The time and temperature of heat treatment of briquettes were determined experimentally: 15 min and 300 °C, respectively. A basic technological scheme for the production of 5-10 mm class from coke fines and coke briquettes for ferroalloy and blast furnaces is proposed. A technological scheme for the production of coke briquettes and a new apparatus for their heat treatment are proposed. The basic technological requirements for the quality of carbon reducing agents are formulated. Keywords: coke fines, coke sludge, charge, binder, coke briquette, heat treatment.

Quality control of absorbent oil for capturing benzene hydrocarbons by coke residue yield.
Authors: Bannikov A.L. , Karnozhitskiy P.V.
Published: September 2023

Specific consumption of absorbent oil and its quality indicators are key characteristics of the benzene department, as they reflect the level of operating costs and determine the degree of equipment contamination with sediments. The thickening of coal tar absorbent oil during operation depends on the level of oil loss with crude benzene, the intensity of the oil polymerization and oxidation reaction, the degree of introduction of resinous and solid substances with coke oven gas, the intensity of coke formation under the influence of high temperatures, and the quality of the absorbent. Recently, little attention has been paid to such an integral indicator of absorbent oil quality as coke residue yield ("coking point"). Coking ability is associated with the viscosity, chemical composition and degree of oil purification, and is used mainly for petroleum oils operating at high temperatures. The relationship between the coke number and the physical and chemical properties of the feedstock can be traced by analyzing the dependence on the average boiling point of the tar fractions. An increase in the viscosity and density of the absorbent oil is reflected in an increase in the coke residue yield in a linear fashion, and a decrease in the content of lowboiling oil distillation in favor of high-boiling oil also increases the coke residue yield. The highest degree of correlation is observed in the exponential dependence of the coke number on the content of substances insoluble in toluene in the oil. The coking point of the absorbing oil is an indicator of the intensity of the oil oxidation and polymerization processes, the presence of corrosion and equipment wear products, the addition of tar and sulfurcontaining substances, and the presence of salts. The use of tar to initiate coke formation is an indicative and convenient way to comparatively assess the performance properties of fresh oil. This makes it possible to use the method of determining the yield of coke residue to assess the tendency of fresh oil to form sediments in equipment. Keywords: absorbent oil, coke residue yield, fractional composition, group composition, dependence, correlation degree. Corresponding author: A.L. Bannikov, e-mail: artiksmartik@gmail.com

Published: September 2023

It is stated that Ukraine has recently lost a significant part of its industrial capacities, including in the coke industry. Therefore, after the war, the restoration of industrial potential will become an urgent issue. It is shown that a preliminary calculation of all equipment will become an urgent issue. In this regard, a computer programme for such calculations has been prepared on the basis of the methods developed by SE "UKHIN" and NTU "KhPI". The programme includes a number of typical sections that have the same internal structure. Organizationally, the programme consists of a number of sections, namely: table of contents; general information; initial data; calculations; calculation results; references; reference book; user manual. The programme allows you to perform calculations of both individual technological units and the entire technological chain. The basic principles of this programme are explained using the example of the sulphate department of a coking chemicals recovery shop. The algorithm was developed on the basis of Excel spreadsheets and includes calculations of material and heat flows of the technological process. The calculation allows for the selection of equipment and determination of the main parameters of the equipment. Relevant reference data is provided for selecting and adjusting physical constants and key process parameters. The calculation programme is accompanied by appropriate explanations that facilitate the selection of constants and parameters. This makes it possible to adjust the calculation progress. To prevent erroneous decisions from being made, appropriate blocking of incorrect data has been introduced. Such information will be useful for specialists in the field of coke oven equipment design, as well as for teachers and students of higher education institutions in the relevant field.

Published: September 2023

У статті теоретично обґрунтовано сучасні аспекти організаційних форм неформальної освіти здобувачів вищої освіти в Україні. Описано аналіз попередніх досліджень і публікацій, що стосуються питань розвитку й особливостей неформальної освіти як компоненту Life Long Learning. З'ясовано, що в Україні на даний момент немає визнаних стандартів неформальної освіти, проте, деякі законодавчі документи покликані врегулювати дане питання: Закон України «Про освіту» (стаття 8), законопроєкт «Про освіту дорослих» (статті 3, 13, 14), Порядок визнання у вищій та фаховій передвищій освіті результатів навчання, здобутих шляхом неформальної/інформальної освіти. Наведено риси й ознаки неформальної освіти. Зазначено, що неформальна освіта здобувачів освіти може відбуватися включенням їх у різноманітні форми, напртклад: молодіжні організації, участь у волонтерських програмах і проектах, програми міжнародних обмінів, інтернет-ресурси, ігри та вправи в сфері освіти. Наведено орієнтовний перелік молодіжних та громадських організацій, студентських хабів, що провадять неформальну освіту молоді. Молодіжне волонтерство в Україні досить поширене і грає важливу роль у розвитку суспільства та підтримці різних громадських потреб, воно створює можливість для молоді розвивати навички, набувати цінний досвід та вносити позитивні зміни у своєму оточенні. Вказується, що міжнародні студентські обміни організовуються через університети, неприбуткові організації або міжнародні студентські асоціації та допомагають студентам розширити свої академічні можливості, покращити мовні навички, отримати нові знання та навички в іншому культурному та навчальному середовищі, сприяють розвитку міжнародних зв'язків, побудові толерантного та багатокультурного суспільства, а також підвищенню професійних перспектив студентів.

Ігри, такі як інтерактивні ігри, симуляції та рольові ігри, надають студентам можливість вивчати нове та сприяють їхньому активному залученню до навчального процесу. Використання ігрових методик у неформальній освіті студентів має численні переваги, зокрема розвиток комунікаційних навичок, співпраці в команді, критичного мислення, прийняття рішень та навичок розв'язання проблем.
FORMAL, NON-FORMAL AND INFORMAL CONTENT DOMAIN OF BLENDED LEARNING FOR PROSPECTIVE ENGLISH UNIVERSITY TEACHERS
Authors: Melnyk Alla
Published: September 2023

Learning today takes place in various mixed forms - through practice, and personal connections, extending beyond the boundaries of traditional educational institutions. Many students navigate in different fields of knowledge throughout their lives. The specifics of non-formal and informal education are an important aspect of future professionals’ learning since formal education cannot encompass all such experiences. Blended learning combines formal and non-formal learning, face-to-face and online communication, guided actions and independent choice of path to achieve personal and social learning goals. Considering the pertinence of developing professionally oriented communicative competence among prospective English university teachers, the purpose of the study is to theoretically substantiate the content domain of blended learning (BL), including formal, non-formal and informal aspects. It is stated that in the narrow sense, the BL of prospective English university teachers is a purposeful process of transferring and assimilating knowledge, improving linguistic, speech, socio-cultural, educational and strategic competencies, enhancing students’ cognitive activities. BL should be a flexible synthesis of distance learning, complemented by direct interaction with the teacher and other students during traditional learning, which will significantly intensify the learning process, fostering independent learning and the individual learning trajectory of each student. In a broad sense, the BL of prospective English university teachers is a system of formal and non-formal learning that integrates with informal learning that is characterized by social experience and defined as a self-organized, individually cognitive activity. The study has used a set of theoretical research methods including analysis, systematization and generalization of the results from the scientific and pedagogical experience of Ukrainian and foreign scientists. The webinar is distinguished as an interactive form of organizing non-formal learning, incorporating a mixture of formal learning through practical exercises such as debates, the flipped learning model, the project method, the discussion method, the presentation method, etc.

The development of rational approaches to the treatment of patients with coronavirus disease (Covid-19), especially with the presence of risk factors for the progression of the disease, remains an urgent problem of the health care system. Aim. Assessment of efficacy and safety treatment of mild forms of COVID-19 in patients with the presence of risk factors for the progression of the disease with the use of aminocaproic acid (ACA) compared to nirmatrelvir/ ritonavir and symptomatic therapy. Methods. Study was designed as prospective comparative clinical study of three groups of patients with a mild form of COVID-19, associated with the presence of risk factors for the progression of the disease, to evaluate the major clinical symptoms of the disease and the quality of life by a standardized questionnaire. Results. The evaluation of the change of individual clinical symptoms has allowed to investigate the tendencies of recovery of patients with a mild form of COVID-19, associated with the presence of risk factors for the progression of the disease, with the use of various etiotropic and symptomatic drugs. The use of ACA contributes to the disappearance of the major symptoms much faster than other treatments. The rate of the disappearance of symptoms with the use of ACA and Nirmatrelvir/ritonavir was higher than with symptomatic therapy in the first 8 days of the disease. This is explained by the antiviral action of these drugs and their effect on the early stage of the disease. Inhalation use of ACA and symptomatic drugs has the advantages over systematic use of drugs due to topical effect on the mucous membranes of the respiratory tract and the absence of systemic adverse reactions. Conclusion. A multidimensional evaluation of the clinical efficacy of the use of ACA, Nirmatrelvir/ritonavir, or symptomatic treatment alone demonstrated the rationality of inhaled ACA compared to other treatments in patients with mild COVID-19, associated with the presence of factors of risk for progression. Key words: COVID-19, aminocaproic acid, clinical efficacy.

Aim: to determine the indicators of the quality of life in patients with chronic lymphoproliferative diseases (CLPD), depending on the existing respiratory comorbidity, symptoms and the state of the pulmonary function (PF). Materials and methods. 90 inpatients with CLPD were included in the study. All subjects underwent a general clinical examination, evaluation of dyspnea severity according to the mMRC scale and the symptoms severity according to COPD assessment test (CAT). Two questionnaires were used to assess patients’ quality of life: SF-36 and EQ-5D-5L. All patients underwent computer spirometry to assess PF. Data were processed using methods of descriptive and analytical statistics. Results and discussion. Patients with respiratory symptoms had worse indicators of quality of life in domains, reflecting the state of physical health, namely “self-care” (“SC”) (p = 0.008) and “pain/discomfort” (“PD”) (p = 0.04). And the patients with pronounced respiratory symptoms (10 or more points according to CAT) had a significantly lower quality of life according to the indicators of “physical component of health” (“PCH”) (p = 0.0001), “general health” (“GH”) (p = 0.001), “pain” (“P”) (p = 0.002), “role limitation due to physical health” (“RLP”) (p=0.00005), “mobility” (“M”) (р = 0.00007), “SC” (р = 0.00001), “general daily activities” (“GDA”) (р = 0.000001), “PD” (р = 0.000001), “psychological component of health” (“PsCH”) (p = 0.0004), “energy/fatigue” (“EF”) (p = 0.003), “emotional well-being” (“EWB”) (p = 0.01), “role limitation due to emotional problems” (“RLE”) (p = 0.0004), “anxiety/depression” (“AD”) (p = 0.000001). Patients with mixed-type PF disorder with a predominance of obstruction had the lowest indicators of quality of life in the “GH”, “PCH”, “EF”, “SC” and “PD” domains. Patients with mixed PF disturbances with a predominance of restriction had the lowest indicators of quality of life in the domains “EF”, “social functioning” (“SF”), “change in health” (“CH”), “M” and “GDA”. Patients with CLPD who had any of the PF disturbances had lower physical health indicators: “RLP” and “PCH” (p = 0.04 in both cases). Using regression analysis, it was found that decreased FEV1/FVC ratio was a predictor of a lower level of the indicator “PCH”. At the same time, among patients with lymphomas, the presence of obstruction was associated with worse indicators of quality of life in “PD”domains (p = 0.03). Among patients with CLL, the presence of PF obstructive disturbances was associated with a lower indicator of “SF” (p = 0.04). Conclusion: among patients with CLPD, the presence of pronounced respiratory symptoms and disturbances of the PF had a significant negative impact on the quality of life. Thus, there is a need to develop treatment to consider these indicators in order to improve the quality of life of patients with CLPD.

Experimental evidence shows that triadic social balance can be achieved through dyadic interactions

Balanced triadic relationships in social groups, such that friends of friends are considered friends, and enemies of friends are enemies, are at the heart of stable human societies. Most models that try to understand the dynamical origin of social balance assume that individuals achieve balanced triangles through a simultaneous adjustment of both their direct (with their social contacts) and indirect (with contacts of their contacts) relations. However, this assumption might not be plausible given the limits of available information and capacity to account for the multitude of indirect relationships most people have. A recent model has shown that triadic balance can be achieved even if individuals minimize imbalance only in their dyadic relationships (Pham et al., 2022). Here we present a longitudinal group experiment with 480 interacting individuals, that compares the assumptions and predictions of this model with an alternative model that assumes that individuals minimize imbalance in their triadic relationships (Pham et al., 2021). Experimental evidence shows that triadic social balance can be achieved even if people have knowledge only about their dyadic relationships. We find that human groups need only a few rounds of interactions to achieve the distribution of different triangle types predicted by the model. We show that model parameters are psychologically plausible, and that they explain different patterns observed in real-world societies. Empirical studies are essential for discerning between the many existing models of social dynamics that seem plausible but have different assumptions and predictions, and for choosing promising pathways for further theoretical development.
RDH11 is differentially expressed in central nervous system metastasis in human breast cancer.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: September 2023

Metastasis to the brain occurs in a significant fraction of patients with breast cancer (1-3). We mined published RNA-sequencing and microarray data (4, 5) to compare primary and metastatic tumor transcriptomes for the discovery of genes associated with brain metastasis in humans with metastatic breast cancer. We found that retinol dehydrogenase 11, encoded by RDH11, was among the genes whose expression was most different in the brain metastases of patients with metastatic breast cancer as compared to primary tumors of the breast. RDH11 mRNA was present at increased quantities in brain metastatic tissues as compared to primary tumors of the breast. Expression of RDH11 in primary tumors was correlated with recurrence-free survival. Modulation of RDH11 expression may be relevant to the biology by which tumor cells metastasize from the breast to the brain in humans with metastatic breast cancer.

We mined published RNA-sequencing and microarray data (4, 5) to compare primary and metastatic tumor transcriptomes for the discovery of genes associated with brain metastasis in humans with metastatic breast cancer. We found that serine hydroxymethyltransferase 2, encoded by SHMT2, was among the genes whose expression was most different in the brain metastases of patients with metastatic breast cancer as compared to primary tumors of the breast. SHMT2 mRNA was present at increased quantities in brain metastatic tissues as compared to primary tumors of the breast. Expression of SHMT2 in primary tumors was correlated with overall, distant metastasis-free and recurrence-free survival. Modulation of SHMT2 expression may be relevant to the biology by which tumor cells metastasize from the breast to the brain in humans with metastatic breast cancer.
Consumer Behavior and Green Purchases

Published: September 2023

The intersection of consumer behavior and green purchases has emerged as a critical focal point in contemporary society. As the global community grapples with pressing environmental challenges, consumers are increasingly inclined to align their purchasing decisions with sustainability and environmental responsibility. This paradigm shift in consumer behavior signifies a pivotal moment in the marketplace, prompting businesses to adapt and respond to evolving consumer preferences.1.1 Background and ContextThe background and context of this study lie in the evolving dynamics of consumerism and sustainability. The early 21st century witnessed a surge in environmental consciousness, driven by concerns about climate change, resource depletion, and pollution. Consequently, consumers are now more aware of the environmental impact of their choices. This heightened awareness has given rise to the concept of "green purchases" or environmentally responsible buying.
