An artificial intelligence-based system assisted endoscopists to detect early gastric cancer: a case report
Authors: Lin Jiejun , Tao Xiao , Pan Jie
Published: April 2022

Background: The mucosal changes of early gastric cancers (EGC) are slight and difficult to be recognized, leading to a high miss rate. Artificial intelligence (AI) systems have the potential to improve the detection of EGC. Here, we report a case of early gastric cancer discovered by an endoscopist with the assistance of an AI system. Case presentation: A 67-year-old male patient came to our hospital for Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) due to a routine physical examination. He had previously been healthy but was treated for a Helicobacter pylori infection two years ago. In the process of EGD, the AI system flagged a tiny mucosal lesion that was far away and was not detected by the endoscopist, and this lesion attracted the endoscopist's additional attention. After the close observation of the lesion, the AI system immediately gave a red prompt box, suggesting that the endoscopist further observe it. Under magnifying narrow-band imaging (ME-NBI), the mucosal glands and blood vessels of the lesion were irregular, and AI diagnosed it as a suspicious gastric carcinoma. Biopsy pathology showed that it was high-grade intraepithelial neoplasia, and after endoscopic mucosal dissection (ESD), post-ESD histology confirmed that the lesion was a highly differentiated adenocarcinoma confined to the mucosa, with a lesion range of 1.1cm × 1.0cm. The patient was discharged from the hospital without any postoperative complications. Conclusion: AI has been widely applied in the field of gastrointestinal endoscopy and has the potential to help improve the detection rate of early gastrointestinal cancers. We reported a case of early gastric cancer discovered by the endoscopist with the assistance of AI.

Authors: Shi Conghui , Li Jia , Wu Lianlian
Published: April 2022

Aims: This study aimed to explore the effect of training set diversity on the performance of deep learning models for predicting early gastric cancer (EGC) under endoscopy.
Methods: Images of EGC and non-cancerous lesions under narrow-band imaging (ME-NBI) and magnifying blue laser imaging (ME-BLI) were retrospectively collected. Training set 1 was composed of 150 non-cancerous and 309 EGC ME-NBI images, training set 2 was composed of 1505 non-cancerous and 309 EGC ME-BLI images, and training set 3 was the combination of training set 1 and 2. Test set 1 was composed of 376 non-cancerous and 1052 EGC ME-NBI images, test set 2 consisted of 529 non-cancerous and 71 EGC ME-BLI images, and test set 3 was the combination of test set 1 and test set 2. Three deep learning models, convolutional neural network (CNN) 1, CNN 2 and CNN 3 (CNN 1, CNN 2 and CNN 3 were independently trained using training set 1, training set 2 and training set 3, respectively), were constructed, and their performances on each test set were respectively evaluated. One hundred and thirty-eight ME-NBI videos and 17 ME-BLI videos were further collected to evaluate and compare the performance of each model in real time.
Results: On the whole, the performance of CNN 3 was the best. The accuracy (Acc), sensitivity (Sn), specificity (Sp) and area under the curve (AUC) of test set 1 in CNN 3 were 87.89% (1255/1428), 90.96% (342/376), 86.79% (913/1052) and 94.60%, respectively. The Acc, Sn, Sp and AUC of test set 2 in CNN 3 were 95% (570/600), 97.92% (518/529), 73.24% (52/71) and 90.93% respectively. The Acc, Sn, Sp and AUC of test set 3 in CNN 3 were 89.99% (1825/2028), 95.03% (860/905), 85.93% (965/1123) and 94.89%, respectively. The performance of CNN 3 was also the best in videos test set. The Acc, Sn and Sp of videos test set in CNN 3 were 91.03% (142/156), 90.58% (125/138) and 94.44% (17/18), respectively.
Conclusions: The deep learning model with the most diverse training data has the best diagnostic effect.

Authors: Arslan Bilal , Kose Emin , Tazeoğlu Deniz , Karahan Servet Rüştü
Published: April 2022

 Introduction: Pancreaticoduodenectomy surgery is widely accepted and applied worldwide for periampullary tumors. Despite the decline in mortality rates from 40% to 3% with the advances in surgical technique, morbidity is still high (40–50%).

 Aim: We aimed to investigate the effect of increased clinical experience on the length of hospital stay, morbidity, mortality, and survival after pancreaticoduodenectomy.

  Materials and methods: The files of patients who underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy in our hospital between January 2007 and January 2018 were retrospectively reviewed and divided into four groups by years. Demographics, body mass index (BMI, kg/m2), medical history, preoperative biliary drainage application, surgical technique, histopathological features, postoperative morbidity, mortality, and survival were investigated.

  Results:  There was no difference between the groups in terms of age, gender, comorbid disease, history of biliary drainage, surgical technique, and operation time (P > 0.05). The rate of postoperative complications has decreased over the years (P = 0.01). According to the Clavien-Dindo scale, the complication severity decreased significantly over the years (P = 0.05). The overall survival of the patients increased by years (P = 0.03); the Early postoperative mortality rate decreased in the first month (<30 days) (P = 0.04).

  Conclusion: With increased clinical experience, morbidity and mortality decrease, overall survival is prolonged after pancreaticoduodenectomy procedure.
Goethe und Dickens als christliche Dichter
Authors: Hösle Vittorio
Published: April 2022

Goethe ist der umfassendste deutsche Dichter, Dickens der wohl größte englische Schriftsteller seit Shakespeare. Bisher ist kaum gesehen worden, wie viel drei von Dickens` Romanen Goethes berühmtestem Roman „Wilhelm Meisters Lehrjahre“ verdanken, dessen Themen sie subtil abwandeln. In diesem Buch geht es aber keineswegs nur um Goethes Einfluss auf Dickens, sondern besonders um die Art und Weise, wie beide Schriftsteller nach der Aufklärung an einer neuen Form christlicher Literatur arbeiten, deren beachtliche Unterschiede viel zu tun haben mit den intellektuellen Unterschieden zwischen Deutschland und England. Eine Analyse Goethes autobiographischer Schriften „Dichtung und Wahrheit“ und „Italienische Reise“ sowie ein methodologisch grundlegender Aufsatz zum Literaturvergleich runden dieses Buch ab, das für Germanisten, Anglisten und Philosophen gleichermaßen gedacht ist.

Authors: Yang John , M. Vaidya Milind , A. Duval Sebastien , Hamad Feras
Published: April 2022

Natural gas can contain significant amounts of impurifies, including CO2, H2S, N2, He, and C3+ hydrocarbons. These C3+ hydrocarbons are valuable chemical feedstocks and can be used as a liquid fuel for power generation. Membrane-based separation technologies have recently emerged as an economically favorable alternative due to reduced capital and operating cost. Polymeric membranes for the separation and removal of C3+ hydrocarbons from natural gas have been practiced in chemical and petrochemical industries. Therefore, these industries can benefit from membranes with improved C3+ hydrocarbon separation. This chapter overviews the different gas processing technologies for C3+ hydrocarbon separation and recovery from natural gas, highlighting the advantages, research and industrial needs, and challenges in developing highly efficient polymer-based membranes. More specifically, this chapter summarizes the removal of C3H8 and C4H10 from CH4 by prospective polymer architectures based on reverse-selective glassy polymers, rubbery polymers, and its hybrid mixed matrix membranes. In addition, the effect of testing conditions and gas compositions on the membrane permeation properties (permeability and selectivity) is reviewed.

Epoxy Composites for Radiation Shielding
Authors: Hale Aygün Hayriye
Published: April 2022

Due to the increase in use of radiation energy in many industrial applications, radiation shielding has become a crucial topic in order to diminish its hazardous effects. Radiation shields can be of various weights depending on the materials from which they are produced and the area in which they are used. In this sense, polymer composites have taken attention by researchers because it is aimed to obtain shields with good processability, sufficient flexibility, low weight, and subsequent performance properties. Epoxy resin is one of the mostly used synthetic polymers as a matrix element in composite material production due to its improving characteristics by means of electrical insulation, chemical resistance, service life, bonding characteristic, and mechanical properties. Besides, epoxies have intermediate radiation shielding characteristics as well. By loading epoxy matrix with fibers and/or fillers having different radiation absorption rates or mechanical resistance properties, multifunctional shields can be produced to serve in numerous applications. This chapter focuses on radiation shielding efficiency of fiber-reinforced epoxy composites and the role of fillers and fiber-based materials on manufacturing of functional radiation shields.

Authors: Roselli Marianna , Canali Raffaella , Finamore Alberto , Ghiselli Andrea , Devirgiliis Chiara
Published: April 2022

The present chapter provides a comprehensive overview of the multifaceted links connecting the immune system, the intestinal microbiota, and the diet, covering also some recent, less explored, and emerging topics such as the “trained immunity” and the immune cell metabolic activity. The main characteristics of the innate and adaptive immune system are described, as well as the gut-associated lymphoid tissue (GALT). Gut microbiota structure and function are also presented. Particular emphasis is given to the diet as a modulator of the microbiota-immune system crosstalk, focusing on the impact of the three main dietary components (carbohydrates, proteins, and fats) and the different dietary profiles on the gut microbiota, by shaping its composition and the deriving microbial metabolites that influence host health, also through interaction with the immune system. Western and Mediterranean diets are described and chosen as representative models of detrimental and beneficial dietary patterns, respectively.
Pyoverdine as an Important Virulence Factor in Pseudomonas aeruginosa Antibiotic Resistance
Authors: Durán Ovidio , Ramos Carlos , Chen Olga , Castillo Julio , de Mayorga Brenda , de Chial Magaly
Published: April 2022

The World Health Organization has designated P. aeruginosa as a priority one pathogen due to the rise of multidrug-resistant (MDR) strains. It is a common opportunistic pathogen among humans. Nosocomial pneumonia, hospital-acquired urinary tract infection, and surgical wound infections are all caused by it. P. aeruginosa causes significant rates of disease and death in immunocompromised people such as those who have had a bone marrow transplant, have cystic fibrosis, have had burns, or have AIDS. P. aeruginosa’s ability to cause such a wide range of infections is owing to its arsenal of virulence factors, which includes pyoverdine molecules, which are responsible for MDR strains. Pyoverdines are nonribosomal short peptides that are essential for bacterial pathogenicity because they serve as a signal molecule for the development of other virulence factors and contribute to antibiotic resistance. Because they are formed under iron-limiting conditions in the host environment, siderophores are required for iron uptake in the host.
Walls in the Heart
Authors: Heyer Kristin E. ,   Villanova University
Published: April 2022

In Fratelli tutti, Pope Francis probes structural and ideological threats to people’s social instincts and shared good(s) in contexts of fragmentation and false securities (§ 7). His approach to these pervasive temptations to build a culture of walls “in the heart” and “on the land” employs structural analyses but also elevates ideologies abetting the harms these walls wreak, signaling a development in the use of social sin in line with related emerging theological scholarship. This essay traces and contextualizes Francis’s application of interconnected dimensions of social sin in Fratelli tutti; interrogates its oversight of the social sin of sexism; and suggests that practices of encounter and discernment in the pursuit of social friendship serve as apt antidotes to the harmful dynamics identified.
The Political Anthropology of Fratelli tutti
Authors: Teresa María ,   Villanova University
Published: April 2022

In Fratelli tutti, Pope Francis lays out a vision for political life grounded in encounter with the other and as essential for human being and becoming. In this vision, the political projects of specific groups of people, their historical contexts, and their particular identities are an essential element of political projects for the common good. This essay seeks to understand the political anthropology originally developed by Jorge Bergoglio that undergirds this vision. In Fratelli tutti, Francis puts this anthropology at the service of Catholic social teaching, distinguishing him from his two immediate predecessors. Such a political anthropology supports the transcendent value of the person as extending to the people, and, in turn, as extending to political life as well. As such, this becomes an important space from which we extend ourselves toward others as part of the task of humanization.
Europe’s “Neonationalism” Read through the Lens of Fratelli tutti
Authors: Van Stichel Ellen ,   Villanova University
Published: April 2022

The rise of nationalist and populist tendencies and their exclusivist discourse and consequent polarizing effects challenge the Christian narrative, especially if politicians openly look for support within the Catholic Church and Christian churches, thereby referring to Europe’s Christian heritage and Judeo-Christian roots. This article shows how Fratelli tutti can be read as a response to this attempted exclusivist interpretation of Christian identity. Pope Francis is not unaware of the underlying dynamics that lead people to become exclusivist rather than embrace inclusion, as is shown by his remarkable recognition of the sentiments of fear and resentment. As a response, however, he refuses to interpret Christianity so narrowly that it can be used to legitimize the construction of walls to keep “the other” outside enclosed communities. By taking the Good Samaritan as his focal point, Francis reorients Christianity toward its inherent cosmopolitan roots with a call to move from fear to fraternity.

Beowulf & Beyond
Authors: Veach Dan
Published: April 2022

Beowulf & Beyond is the first and only poetic translation to include not only Beowulf but all the best-known works of Anglo-Saxon literature in one convenient volume. Previously, students have had to buy a separate book to read essential works like "The Seafarer," required reading in all courses of early English literature. And even these may miss some of the greatest delights of this period: the wonderful stories from Bede, the charms, sayings, spells and riddles that inspire students to delve deeper into this strange and magical world. These translations, which derive their power from cleaving "close to the bone" of the original Anglo-Saxon, capture the power and punch of the original in a supple verse that sweeps the reader onward irresistibly.
Acute coronary syndrome without persistent elevation of the ST segment: New recommendations
Authors: Hinić Saša
Published: April 2022

Acute myocardial infarction without persistent ST-segment elevation is a serious medical problem that significantly increases cardiovascular mortality and morbidity. Therefore, timely accurate diagnosis is crucial for adequate treatment of these patients, better survival and improved quality of life. It is characterized by a clinical picture of acute chest discomfort that may occur in the form of typical anginal problems or as the equivalent of acute chest pain. Changes in the electrocardiogram are varied, from transient ST-segment elevation, persistent or transient ST-segment depression, T-wave inversion, flattened T-wave, or pseudonormalization of the T-wave, to normal electrocardiographic recording. The latest guidelines of the European Society of Cardiology advise determining the value of cardio-specific enzymes from the patient's blood, namely high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T or I immediately upon admission to the health institution and repeated one hour after admission (0h / 1h algorithm). Echocardiographic examination is recommended in all patients as a routine procedure before admission or during hospitalization. Coronary CT angiography for the anatomical evaluation of coronary heart disease is important in patients with a low to moderate probability of an acute coronary event. Drug treatment in these patients involves the use of dual antiplatelet therapy to determine the ischemic risk of the patient as well as the risk of bleeding. Pre-treatment with the use of primarily P2Y12 receptor inhibitors is not recommended in routine clinical practice. In patients who have undergone revascularization and stent implantation, dual antiplatelet therapy is recommended for 12 months, except in cases where there are contraindications or increased hemorrhagic risk. Patients who require long-term use of oral anticoagulant therapy after a short period of triple antiplatelet therapy up to 1 week after the acute event, continue dual antiplatelet therapy, using new anticoagulants at the recommended dose to prevent stroke and one oral antiplatelet drug. Invasive coronary angiography can be performed according to the patient's risk immediately after admission to a health institution (within 2 hours) in very high-risk patients or as an early treatment strategy, within 24 hours of admission in high-risk patients. To perform an invasive intervention, a radial approach is advised, as well as the implantation of drug-coated stents. In patients in whom it is not possible to perform myocardial revascularization by percutaneous coronary intervention, revascularization with coronary artery bypass grafts is recommended. In the long-term follow-up of these patients, after an acute coronary event, it is advisable to change life habits with pharmacological treatment, which reduces mortality and improves the quality of life.
Fraud in financial statements
Authors: Gogić Nemanja
Published: April 2022

It is a well-known fact in the scientific and professional public that there is no perfect financial reporting. The complexity of the company's operations on the one hand and the impossibility of monitoring the development of accounting rules to record every business situation that occurs during the business year on the other hand, open room for maneuver for the occurrence of fraud in financial statements. Managers, accountants, internal and external audit are responsible for fraud in the financial statements. Certain positions in the financial statements are a frequent target of fraudsters. In this paper, we will analyze which are the items that are a frequent target of fraudsters. The aim of the research in this paper is to point out the manipulation techniques and instruments for fraud prevention in financial statements. The research methods used in this paper are: analytical method, statistical method, induction method and deduction method. The results of this research are a systematic presentation of the identification of individual items in the financial statements and instruments for their prevention. Based on the conducted research, we conclude that the most important thing for those responsible for compiling and examining items in the financial statements is ethics.

Are the cause of the contractual obligation and the purpose of the contract the same?
Authors: Ječmenić Milan
Published: April 2022

The paper examines the relationship between the cause of the contractual obligation and the purpose of the contract. Namely, an attempt is made to answer the question, whether these are two different legal institutes, or if apart from terminology, there are no other differences between them. The problem is analyzed based on the sponsorship agreement. This contract was chosen due to one of its peculiarities. The economic goal of the sponsor is so obvious and visible, that, without any hesitation, one can think about applying the economic concept of the cause of the contractual obligation to this contract. If we take into account that we have a basis for such a thing in court practice (namely, there are decisions in which the economic concept of the cause of the contractual obligation is applied), as well as the fact that in domestic legal doctrine some authors define the purpose of the contract as an economic goal, the issue becomes obvious.

Published: April 2022

Laser-assisted atom probe tomography (L-APT) was used to measure the indium mole fraction x of c-plane, MOCVD-grown, GaN/InxGa1-xN/GaN test structures and the results were compared with Rutherford backscattering analysis (RBS). Four separate sample types were examined with x = 0.030, 0.034, 0.056, and 0.11 as determined by RBS. The respective InxGa1-xN layer thicknesses were 330 nm, 327 nm, 360 nm, and 55 nm. L-APT data were collected under (fixed) laser pulse energy (PE)conditions in the range of (2 1000) fJ. Sample temperatures were generally 54 K. The data were analyzed using different region-of-interest (ROI) volumes to establish criteria for both data collection and compositional analysis that would return L-APT results that fell within the estimated 0.5 at. % uncertainty of RBS. Using cylindrical ROIs placed coaxially within the reconstructed InxGa1-xN regions, and with ROI depths of (55 180) nm, PE values in the range of(2 100) fJ yielded indium concentrations that conformed to RBS. L-APT results were comparatively insensitive to ROI diameter such that 20-nm-diameter coaxial ROIs yielded indium concentrations nearly equal to ROIs that encompassed the full InxGa1-xN regions. By contrast, for the GaN portions of the samples, L-APT would only yield near-stochiometric composition for PE in the range of (5 20) fJ with the analysis restricted to coaxial ROIs of diameters ?20 nm. m-plane oriented L-APT specimens were derived from core-shell GaN/InxGa1-xN multi-quantum-well structures. Analysis within ROIs placed along [0001] of these m-plane samples revealed a spatial asymmetry in charge-state ratios that is consistent with an electrostatic effect arising from spontaneous polarization. Both c-plane and m-plane sample types showed depth-dependent variations in absolute ion counts that depended upon ROI placement.

From this point of view, it is interesting to incorporate systems capable of improving the operation and efficiency of the built environment. The study aims to address the current state of development of the different methodologies that make it possible to solve the need to move the focus away from the city to the territory that arose after the COVID-19 pandemic; with the consequent evolution of the concept of Smart City to Smart Territory. Methodologically, a review of the state of the art of the different currents is carried out, within the reference framework of Industry 4.0, which focuses on implementing intelligent systems for sensorisation and monitoring of infrastructures that enable more sophisticated, efficient, and optimal maintenance strategies. As a result, it should be noted that the current trend is obligatory since it is not so imperative to build new infrastructures in developed countries but rather to explore the possible extension of their useful life and to advocate a new approach to engineering based on sustainability criteria.

Key Words: Smart-territory, maintenance, intelligent infrastructure, monitoring, Smart-city.

Childlike Parents in Guus Kuijer’s Polleke Series and Jacqueline Wilson’s The Illustrated Mum
Authors: Joosen Vanessa
Published: April 2022

In this article, theories from age studies and children’s literature studies are combined to shed light on the construction of adulthood in books for young readers. The article begins with the sociological shift from a traditional model of adulthood with fxed benchmarks and increased commitment to a new ideal of fexibility in adulthood, as described by Harry Blatterer. It then explores how three acclaimed children’s books by Guus Kuijer and Jacqueline Wilson respond to this shift. The narratives all feature parents who display features that are explicitly labeled as “childlike” or that can be interpreted as diverging from the traditional model of “full” adulthood that Blatterer describes. As a result, the child protagonists are shown to experience stress and grief. Although the novels stress the playfulness of childlike adults as enjoyable, they ultimately promote a traditional model of responsible adulthood, even if few adult characters can actually live up to it.
Beyond Prosthetic Memory
Authors: DeFalco Amelia
Published: April 2022

Literary and cinematic speculations about the future of care, read in tandem with the rising prominence of actual robotic caregivers, foretell a future in which human interaction is no longer an inevitable feature of care relations. This essay considers the social, cultural and ethical implications of robotic care alongside a particular speculative representation of posthuman care, the 2012 film Robot and Frank. The film demonstrates how the intimacy of human/machine care relationships can supply posthumanist insights into the illusion of human invulnerability and exceptionalism that obscure the heterogeneity of embedded and embodied subjects. Not only does the film dramatize the fundamental anxieties caregiving robots incite, it also offers provocative posthumanist critiques of human exceptionalism, conjuring haptic affects that trespass the boundaries between humans and machines.

Genre and Female Aging in Two Contemporary Filmic Adaptations of “Snow White”
Authors: Whitehurst Katherine
Published: April 2022

This article outlines the role genre plays in the representation of female aging in the films “Mirror Mirror” (Singh 2012) and “Snow White and the Huntsman” (Sanders 2012). Focusing on the queen, the paper considers how the films’ varying generic engagements create alternative story worlds for the queen to take shape and evolve within. From this context, the article argues that the films’ generic alignments become instrumentalized in the (re)construction of regressive and patriarchal representations of the queen found in preceding versions. Revisiting Anita Wohlmann’s question about whether “the movies undermine and expose the tale’s implicit ageism,” the paper centrally argues that the depictions of the queen in both films entrench and supplement, rather than resist, regressive representations of female aging commonly found in preceding “Snow White” adaptations and in Western contemporary popular culture more broadly.

“To write my autobiography and get myself in focus genetically”
Authors: Carney Gemma , Hannan Leonie
Published: April 2022

In this paper, we analyze G. Stanley Hall’s Senescence: The Last Half of Life (1922) as a personal narrative and scientific account of aging in the long nineteenth century. We approach the text with a critical perspective on the decline narrative in aging studies, but also by engaging with Hall’s narrative in the form of life review. Our analysis is contextualized by a historical perspective on Hall’s academic career, his views on women, and his Social Darwinism. We focus on three main narratives—embodied aging and delaying decline, old age as personal experience and a category for social analysis, and the emergence of retirement as a socioeconomic institution. In doing so, we contextualize Hall’s work by attending to the social and intellectual currents of this time. We observe the enduring influence of narratives of aging in the nineteenth century, particularly the underlying assumption of Senescence—that aging equals decline and loss, which still holds sway in mainstream gerontology research today. We argue that Senescence offers the reader a complex and often meandering narrative which reveals the experience of male aging in the long nineteenth century as well as scientific thinking on aging at the time. We conclude that Hall shows us that old age (and death) are part of life, and that as much can be learned from the experience of living through old age as can be gleaned from academic studies of social statistics or physiological decline.
Operative Management of Cecal Volvulus Herniating Through the Foramen of Winslow
Authors: Yap Ava , Freise Jonathan , Bolinger Beverly , Alkoraishi Ahmed
Published: April 2022

Cecal volvulus is a surgical emergency which is associated with the risk for bowel ischemia and perforation. Occasionally, volvulus can be caused by an internal hernia.We report the case of a 73-year-old woman with no prior surgical history who had abrupt onset abdominal pain, distension, bilious emesis, and obstipation. Computed tomographic imaging showed a twisted, dilated cecum within the lesser sac with the base of the volvulus at the foramen of Winslow and mass effect against a decompressed stomach. In the operating room, the patient underwent exploratory laparotomy, reduction of the cecal volvulus through the lesser sac, and right hemicolectomy with primary ileocolic anastomosis.Given the substantial morbidity and mortality risk if a closed loop obstruction is left untreated, it is of paramount importance to consider internal hernias as a potential cause to allow an early diagnosis and an urgent surgical treatment.

The article analyzes and evaluates the adjacent spaces in residential areas. A survey of about a hundred yards of Far Eastern cities (Khabarovsk, Komsomolsk-on-Amur, Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk) was conducted. Using the methods of full-scale survey and comparative analysis, positive and negative characteristics are determined in terms of aesthetics, functions and convenience for residents, the conditions of visual comfort on the selected site are revealed. The study is carried out from the point of view of architectural composition and functional organization. The study includes an analytical part, which presents the characteristics of house spaces and a practical one, which contains recommendations for improving the aesthetic qualities of the courtyard environment. The novelty of the research lies in the fact that for the first time such an analysis is carried out in the process of architectural design training in order to understand the special importance of aesthetic comfort in an urban residential environment. The relevance of the research is determined by the need to introduce theoretical research into design practice for further development of the courtyard of an apartment building: from reasonable functional organization and simple physical comfort - to aesthetic comfort, to artistic expressiveness of space and a unique sense of place identity. The study was conducted by the Institute of Architecture and Design of Pacific State University as part of the training courses "Environmental factors in Design" and "Aesthetics of Architecture and Design".
Proteolysis of fibrillin-2 microfibrils is essential for normal skeletal development

The embryonic extracellular matrix (ECM) undergoes transition to mature ECM as development progresses, yet few mechanisms ensuring ECM proteostasis during this period are known. Fibrillin microfibrils are macromolecular ECM complexes serving structural and regulatory roles. In mice, Fbn1 and Fbn2, encoding the major microfibrillar components, are strongly expressed during embryogenesis, but fibrillin-1 is the major component observed in adult tissue microfibrils. Here, analysis of Adamts6 and Adamts10 mutant mouse embryos, lacking these homologous secreted metalloproteases individually and in combination, along with in vitro analysis of microfibrils, measurement of ADAMTS6-fibrillin affinities and N-terminomics discovery of ADAMTS6-cleaved sites, identifies a proteostatic mechanism contributing to postnatal fibrillin-2 reduction and fibrillin-1 dominance. The lack of ADAMTS6, alone and in combination with ADAMTS10 led to excess fibrillin-2 in perichondrium, with impaired skeletal development defined by a drastic reduction of aggrecan and cartilage link protein, impaired BMP signaling in cartilage, and increased GDF5 sequestration in fibrillin-2-rich tissue. Although ADAMTS6 cleaves fibrillin-1 and fibrillin-2 as well as fibronectin, which provides the initial scaffold for microfibril assembly, primacy of the protease-substrate relationship between ADAMTS6 and fibrillin-2 was unequivocally established by reversal of the defects in Adamts6-/- embryos by genetic reduction of Fbn2, but not Fbn1.
