Metastatic Small Cell Lung Cancer Presenting as Acute Appendicitis: A Case-Report
Authors: Connell Louis , Connell Louis , Ng Ziqin , Zhong Tai Wei , Allanson Ben
Published: March 2023

Introduction and Importance: We present a case of extensive stage small cell lung cancer presenting as perforated appendicitis secondary to an appendiceal metastasis. This is a rare presentation with only 6 reported cases in the literature. Surgeons must be aware of unusual causes for perforated appendicitis as in our case the prognosis can be dire.
Case Presentation: A 60-year-old man presented with an acute abdomen and septic shock. Computed tomography demonstrated perforated appendicitis and a widespread malignant process initially suspected as colonic origin malignancy. Urgent laparotomy and a subtotal colectomy was performed. Further imaging suggested the malignancy was secondary to a primary lung cancer. Histopathology demonstrated a ruptured small cell neuroendocrine carcinoma in the appendix with TTF1 positive immunohistochemistry. Unfortunately, the patient deteriorated due to respiratory compromise and was palliated on day 6 postoperatively.
Discussion: The appendix is a rare site for metastasis of lung cancer and these metastases usually present as acute perforated appendicitis. Distinguishing the site of the primary tumor can be difficult when there is extensive metastatic disease, and this differentiation relies on immunohistochemistry. In our case the patient was managed surgically, however rapidly deteriorated post operatively from multi-organ metastatic disease. This demonstrates the diagnostic challenges in metastatic small cell lung carcinoma presenting as an acute appendicitis as well as the poor prognosis with advanced disease.
Conclusion: Surgeons should consider a broad differential diagnosis for the cause of acute perforated appendicitis as this can rarely be due to a secondary metastatic deposit from a widespread malignant process.
Pictorialism in the Context of the Bengal Renaissance
Authors: Horbachova Valeriia
Published: March 2023

The paper examines the process of formation and development of artistic periodicals in India at the turn of the 20th century in the context of artistic development and cultural movements of the Indian national revival. The article focuses on the main figures that formed the tradition of Indian illustrated periodicals, oriented to the Indian reader, and reveals the main features of the artistic design of such publications. This paper is an overview of the principles of pictorial realism in Indian art that were a reaction not only to the fascination with the Western realistic manner of painting but also were formed under the influence of developing printing technologies directly in India. The aim of the research was to confirm the originality of the development of the printing of Indian illustrated periodicals on the material of Bengal. The methodology includes comparative, historical-cultural, and art historical methods
Evolution of the Genre of the Piano Concerto
Authors: Xia Ming
Published: March 2023

The paper outlines the features of emergence and development of the piano concerto on its way towards drama from a historical perspective, analyses specific features of its genre nature, and reveals the types of the concerto’s dramaturgy differing from one another in form and style of the interaction between the soloist and the orchestra. The paper demonstrates that the piano concerto followed the path of development of an individual performer principle, and afterward that of a dialogical balance between the orchestra and the piano part, which was determined by the degree of composers’ innovative achievements and the dominant aesthetic paradigm. In terms of highlighting the genre of the piano concerto and genre specificity of piano and orchestral music, the compositional-analytical approach proved to be productive. The analysis revealed that the movement towards drama in the historical perspective of the piano concerto was uneven with occasional drifts towards the so-called “style brilliant.” Depending on the type of drama, the correlation between the solo and the orchestra changed. In the 20th century, due to the radical transformation of the cultural paradigm, the genre of the concerto was restructured; composers abandoned traditional forms and tried to create an individual project form for each work. The study indicates the parameters of change in the genre, form, and style of the piano concerto under the influence of the newest paradigm of the time: repudiation of the traditional genre forms, creation of hybrid forms such as“anti-genre,” “hypergenre,” or a complete negation of the genre and creation of an individual genre project.
Implementation of Richard Wagner’s Ideas in Cinematography: Music as an Important Component of the Screen Work
Authors: Kharchenko Polina
Published: March 2023

The paper raises a number of issues regarding the synthesis of art, its implementation in cinematography, and the role of music in these processes. The importance of combining music with other forms of art was substantiated by Richard Wagner in his theoretical works. He also used these ideas in his composing practice, in particular for creating music dramas that later changed the perception of the possible influence of the synthesis of arts on the audience. The synthesis of music with the other forms of art developed, and, at present, it often becomes the foundation of composers’ creativity: it enables increasing the level of intercultural communication, promotes the emergence of new genres, styles, and trends in art, creates conditions for updating compositional techniques, contributes to increasing the audience of mass art events. The role of music is also crucial in cinematography, which as a synthetic form of art incorporates many ideas about the interaction of arts articulated by the German composer. It is not a coincidence that R. Wagner’s music is actively used in cinematography as a powerful structuring component for the realization of the director’sidea. As a result of the study, the ideas of the interaction of different forms of art were outlined, as well as their impact on the audience and the role of music in this process, previously publicized by R. Wagner and implemented in his works, and later on in the practice of cinematography. The music by the German composer features prominently in the practice of interaction between the visuals and the musical component in filmmaking because by its nature it corresponds with many functions of music in cinema, has a high level of emotional and sensual expressiveness, and emotionally reinforces the visuals of the screen work. Cinematography as a synthetic form of art goes in line with R. Wagner’sideas about the unity of art forms and, at the same time, with the needs of 19th–20th-century society that are still relevant today. Characteristic features of cinema—spectacularity, scale, prolongation in time-space coordinates, ability to express the idea of myth-making and its embodiment in perfect visual forms—enable using the unity of music and visuals in the overall dramaturgy of the film.
The Cultural Hero of Sentimentalism at the Dramatic Crossroads of Politics and Arts
Authors: Bentia Iuliia
Published: March 2023

The paper suggests a typology of the cultural hero of sentimentalism, defining the basic features of his worldview. The archetypal figure of the cultural hero is a component of the myth designed to give people a clear explanation of the world and the rules for the ideology of collective identity. The cultural hero of sentimentalism embodies one of the most important paradigms in the value spectrum of the Age of Enlightenment, which is based on then-idealized ideas ofsensuality, heartfulness, and naturalness. The sentimentalist hero of the New Age is primarily a genius artist, a hero writer, a hero composer, because it is creativity, acknowledgement of the current moment and one’s own internal psychological “emotional matrices” (Andrey Zorin) that became the most modern form of heroism. In states at the stage of national formation, such as Germany during the heyday of sentimentalism, the figure of a cultural hero not only stabilizes the political situation but also becomes the embodiment of the national idea. Accordingly, at this stage, the cultural hero has a dual identity of sorts, being both a citizen and a rebel, which, combined with their oscillations between “natural life” and the desire to influence social processes, emphasizes their fundamental internal dichotomy.
Ukrainian Symbols and Archetypes in the Historical and Folklore Imagery of Irena Nosyk
Authors: Pavlyshyn Anastasiia
Published: March 2023

The paper examines the concepts of “symbol” and “archetype” and their realization in the artistic thinking of the CanadianUkrainian artist Irena Nosyk. The interest in the use of archetypes as a primary scheme and their subsequent expression in art through the objectification of symbols were examined. The significance of the “spiritual memory of Ukrainian people,” which inspired the artist to depict significant events in the history of Ukrainian culture, was traced. Mythological, historical and folklore imagery in the art of Irena Nosyk were analyzed, in particular: the Scythian woman, Prince Igor Svyatoslavovych, Prince Volodymyr the Great, ethnic Hutsuls, mythical creatures—mavkas. Legends and chronicles are considered primary sources for creating this imagery. At the same time, Christian images in Nosyk’s works served as an indisputable means of systematic and purposeful influence on the viewer’s inner world. The elements of Hutsul life and clothing in Irena Nosyk’s works are analyzed. Parallels between her canvases and the works of other artists, including Petro Andrusiv and Viktor Vasnetsova, are drawn. The features of the creative method of the artist are highlighted in regard to a color-tonal palette, with brown-pink tones signifying the supernatural world.
The paper aims to clarify the root causes of the use ofsymbols and archetypes by Irena Nosyk in her art. The methods used were comparative-historical, analogy and synthesis, as well as specialized art analysis methods, such as: iconological, iconographic, formal analysis, and semiotic. It was concluded that a secret language of semantic fields full of symbolic ciphers is a trademark feature of Irena Nosyk’s creativity.
International Experience of Financing Infrastructure Projects
Authors:   Mykolayiv National Agrarian University, Bodnar Olena
Published: March 2023

Abstract. Introduction. The article is devoted to issues of international experience in financing infrastructure projects. At the current pace of development, the load on infrastructure in most countries of the world will increase many times over the next decade, and its timely development will become the main guarantee of sustainable growth of the world economy and trade. The design, construction, and expansion of large infrastructure facilities will take years, and decisions regarding their financing mechanisms must be made quickly, which necessitates additional research into this issue. Purpose. On the basis of the conducted research, it was found that the main factors of economic growth will be the increase of humanity (+19% by 2030) to 8.3 billion people, urbanization (the urban population will increase by 40% by 2030; and its share will grow from 52% to 58%), outpacing the growth of population incomes, further development of international trade and tourism. The authors formed the structure of investments in the world for 2020 and found out that the share of state budgets and national funds, according to analysts' estimates, accounts for the main volume of investments in infrastructure - more than 65%. The tendency of the predominance of debt financing in the general structure of liabilities of infrastructure projects has been studied. The results of the OECD study, which was conducted among the largest institutional investors, were analyzed. Results. The research examines modern state proposals for new financing mechanisms, in particular, foreign experience in implementing the prospects of debt and equity financing of international projects, as well as the experience of individual countries - China, India, and Brazil. It has been proven that in the past the investment risks in this area were too high and the profitability was insignificant, which limited the range of investors. Conclusions. Investor interest in infrastructure projects is growing every year, and financing infrastructure projects requires new sources, in particular, an increase in private investment in the industry. It was noted that it is important for Ukraine to take into account and use successful world experience to finance its own infrastructure projects.

Published: March 2023

Abstract. Introduction. The article examines theoretical aspects of management of innovation and investment activities of enterprises. Purpose. The purpose of the article is to highlight the evolution of the development of theoretical foundations of the innovation and investment activity management at the enterprises, to generalize scientific approaches to the interpretation of the essence of the term "innovation and investment activity" and to clarify the content of its management. Results. The lack of unified scientific approaches to understanding the essence and content of management of innovation and investment activities of enterprises is revealed. It is noted that modern theories and practice of management of innovation and investment activities of enterprises were formed as a result of the historical development of management science, theories of investments and innovations. The historical phasing of the evolutionary development of investment theory is presented and a brief description of the stages of development of these theories is provided. Scientific approaches regarding interpretation of the term "innovative investment activity" have been analyzed. It has been revealed that scientists usually define innovation and investment activity as a complex of two interrelated types of enterprise activity – innovation and investment. It has been established that scientists are persistently interested in studying the problems of innovation and investment activity of enterprises and the presence of various approaches to understanding it as an object of management. The author's approach to defining the term "management of innovation and investment activities of enterprises" is proposed. It is concluded that the evolution of scientific approaches to understanding the essence and content of management of innovation and investment activities of enterprises occurs in relation to the development of management science, investment and innovation theories. Conclusions. In addition, the vast majority of researchers consider management of innovation and investment activity without a clear definition of its essence, objects, subjects objects and functions. It is emphasized that in modern conditions, ensuring the effective operation of enterprises involves marketing orientation of the management of innovative and investment activities of enterprises, active use of marketing resources, technologies and tools to achieve social and economic goals of their activities.

Voter le budget d’une région en 2022
Authors: Denaja Sébastien
Published: March 2023

Les budgets des régions sont soumis à des contraintes spécifiques. Ils sont, d’une part, plus affectés que ceux des départements et des communes par la conjoncture économique et, d’autre part, ils sont davantage marqués par l’inscription de l’action régionale dans un cadre partenarial et pluriannuel.

Concernant le processus budgétaire au niveau régional, celui-ci apparaît plus itératif que délibératif. Il est, en outre, essentiellement entre les mains de l’administration et de l’exécutif régional. Il s’ouvre, cependant, depuis quelques années à une logique participative.

Published: March 2023

OBJECTIVE

Carotid stenosis can lead to both cognitive impairment (CI) and ischemic stroke. Although carotid revascularization surgery, which includes carotid endarterectomy (CEA) and carotid artery stenting (CAS), can prevent future strokes, its effect on cognitive function is controversial. In this study, the authors examined resting-state functional connectivity (FC) in carotid stenosis patients with CI undergoing revascularization surgery, with a particular focus on the default mode network (DMN).

METHODS

Twenty-seven patients with carotid stenosis who were scheduled to undergo CEA or CAS between April 2016 and December 2020 were prospectively enrolled. A cognitive assessment, including the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), Frontal Assessment Battery (FAB), and Japanese version of the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), as well as resting-state functional MRI, was performed 1 week preoperatively and 3 months postoperatively. For FC analysis, a seed was placed in the region associated with the DMN. The patients were divided into two groups according to the preoperative MoCA score: a normal cognition (NC) group (MoCA score ≥ 26) and a CI group (MoCA score < 26). The difference in cognitive function and FC between the NC and CI groups was investigated first, and then the change in cognitive function and FC after carotid revascularization was investigated in the CI group.

RESULTS

There were 11 and 16 patients in the NC and CI groups, respectively. The FC of the medial prefrontal cortex with the precuneus and that of the left lateral parietal cortex (LLP) with the right cerebellum were significantly lower in the CI group than in the NC group. In the CI group, significant improvements were found in MMSE (25.3 vs 26.8, p = 0.02), FAB (14.4 vs 15.6, p = 0.01), and MoCA scores (20.1 vs 23.9, p = 0.0001) after revascularization surgery. Significantly increased FC of the LLP with the right intracalcarine cortex, right lingual gyrus, and precuneus was observed after carotid revascularization. In addition, there was a significant positive correlation between the increased FC of the LLP with the precuneus and improvement in the MoCA score after carotid revascularization.

CONCLUSIONS

These findings suggest that carotid revascularization, including CEA and CAS, might improve cognitive function based on brain FC in the DMN in carotid stenosis patients with CI.

A complex model of a drilling rig rotor with adjustable electric drive
Authors: Ershov Mikhail , Komkov Аleksandr , Feoktistov Evgeniy
Published: March 2023

A modified mathematical model of an asynchronous electric drive of the rotor – a drill string – a bit – a rock is considered and implemented, which develops and generalizes the results of previously performed studies. The model includes the following subsystems: a model of an asynchronous drive with vector control; a model of formation of the resistance moment at the bottom of the bit, taking into account the peculiarities of the interaction between the bit and the rock; a model of a multi-mass mechanical part that takes into account the deformation of the drill string; subsystem for the  drilling rig energy-technological parameters formation. The integrated model makes it possible to calculate and evaluate the selected drilling modes, taking into account their electro-mechanical, energy and technological efficiency and the dynamics of drilling processes. The performed computer simulation of drilling modes confirmed the possibility of a stick-slip effect accompanied by high-frequency vibrations during bit stops, which may change the direction of rotation of the bit, its accelerated wear and unscrewing of the drilling tool. Long bit stops lead to a significant decrease in the average bit rotation speed, which can explain the decrease in the ROP and increase in energy consumption when drilling in the zone of unstable bit rotation. The model can be used as a base for further improvement of rotary drilling control systems.
Cleanly to godly, sudsy to saintly: the ranges of Hittite suppi-

Some notes on lithic materials from Tsaghkunk, a Neolithic-Chalcolithic site in the Ararat plain
Authors: Petrosyan Artur
Published: March 2023

A large area of the Ararat plain has been heavily deformed by modern agricultural activity, including the cultivation of land and the construction of a water channel. These activities have made prehistoric sites that originally bore non-pronounced landforms less visible in the current landscape. As a result of such heavy land deformations, reconstruction of the Ararat plain’s prehistoric landscape is becoming increasingly difficult. In this situation, it is worthwhile to gather fragmental information on prehistoric sites in the Ararat plain that were investigated during previous unpublished research, and then evaluate them through current scientific methods.
A Sasanian coin of Khosrow I and an Abbasid coin of Al-Manṣur from the Areni-1 Cave, Armenia
Authors: Zohrabyan Armine , Gasparyan Boris , Dan Roberto
Published: March 2023

This article concerns the presentation of two unpublished coins discovered in the cave of Areni-1 (the Birds’ Cave). The Areni-1 cave is a particularly important site (Figure 1) mainly thanks to its very well preserved Late Chalcolithic sequence (4.300–3.400 Cal BC). In addition, important medieval (4th–18th centuries AD) occupations were found.

The coins were discovered in July 2010, during the fifth season of excavations, inside the cave in Trench 2A in Gallery no. 1, in the lower level of the Late Medieval pit area (Figure 2). The coins were probably part of a hoard disturbed by excavation activities in the Late Medieval period. One coin dates to the Sasanian period and may be attributed to Khosrow I Anōšīravān. The beginning of the Sasanian domination of the Armenian highlands started in 428 AD with the investiture of Veh Mihr Shapur (428-442 AD) as marzbān by Bahrām V Gōr (406-438 AD). These years correspond to the earlier phase of the Early Medieval period in the regional chronology, a period of important socio-economic and cultural changes for Armenia. The second coin is of the Abbasid Caliph Abū Jaʿfar Abd Allāh ibn Muḥammad al-Manṣūr. In this period Armenia, then called Arminiya or the Emirate of Armenia, was part of the Abbasid Caliphate. During this time, al-Manṣūr revoked the privileges and subsidies of the local rulers (naxarar) and imposed harsh taxation. This situation led to a major rebellion in 774 AD. The revolt was suppressed by the Battle of Bagrevand in 25 April 775 AD.

How smart is a momentum strategy? An empirical study of Indian equities
Authors: Nigam Apurv , Pandey Piyush
Published: March 2023

Smart Beta Investing has revolutionized investment management field with the ability to offer higher returns with lower costs. The momentum factor in the Smart Beta universe often outperforms other popular factors, besides being well documented in the literature, it is found to be pervasive across different geographies and asset classes. In this paper, we implement a long-only momentum based investment strategy for the Indian equity markets that delivers superior risk-adjusted performance, derived upon comparing multiple strategies across time frames. Based on these tests, we find that the lagged 6-months’ compounded returns indicator with quarterly rebalancing can be used to generate the highest risk-adjusted performance.The paper also tests a related phenomenon called the Accelerated Effect of momentum as documented by Ardila et. al. (2021) for the Indian equity market, and finds that the accelerated momentum effect underperforms the traditional momentum both on an absolute and risk-adjusted basis.
The “Africa Rising”: An Exploratory Analysis with the Gross Domestic Product Data
Authors: Scalamonti Francesco
Published: March 2023

The race toward inclusive development in developing economies has prompted researchers to reconsider the drivers of growth in view of achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

The purpose of this research note is an exploration of the determinants of African growth after analysing reference literature to select the explanatory variables and conducting a replication study.

We examine growth in a panel of 54 African countries using the generalised method of moment system estimators (GMM-sys). Using GMM-sys to estimate growth models is not novel, and many previous studies have used this appropriate approach for growth analyses. As a data source, the main international organisations (UN, WB, IMF) have been used. The covered period is 2010-2019 where the data are more complete.

We have used the real per-capita GDP as a dependent variable. Based on the time-series data collected and the estimation methodology used, our findings show the variables that have had a significant impact on African growth from 2010 to 2019. The real per-capita GDP with one order of lags is the variable with the highest magnitude in all models, and it is expected of us. We have found evidence that there is trade dependency with the Southern and Eastern Asian developing countries’ cluster, mainly led by the economies of the “two Asian giants”, i.e., China and India, but also that there is a third trade dependency with the developing countries’ cluster in Europe and Central Asia, mainly led by the Russian economy.

Sleep is a natural physiological condition of the human organism, and performs functions such as: restoring the neurological system, modulating cognition, consolidating memory and learning and contributing psychologically to people’s mental well-being. Therefore, an investigation was developed during supervised curricular internship II, of the Degree course in Biological Sciences, with the objective of identifying the causes that compromise the quality of sleep of high school/technical students and its main consequences for the teaching-learning process. The research was developed in two 1st year classes of a Technical course in Agriculture of a Federal Institute located in the Northern Region of the State of Bahia. For the data production movement, a Form from Google Docs was used, in which 40 students participated. After analysis, it was noticed that the socioeconomic and psychological conditions of the students, the school infrastructure, the use of technologies and the number of activities requested by the teachers are the main causes that interfere in the quality of the students’ sleep. Thus, the investigated adolescents have a low sleep duration, which refers to the need for interventions.

Authors: Souza Tânia Maria Vieira , Albuquerque Joana d’Arc Amorim de
Published: March 2023

A covid-19 é uma infecção respiratória aguda de elevada transmissibilidade, causada pelo coronavírus Sars-Cov-2, que pode apresentar-se de forma grave, e foi responsável por uma pandemia de emergência global. Por ser uma unidade funcional destinada ao Processamento de Produtos para Saúde (PPS), o Centro de Material e Esterilização (CME) é fundamental para o controle da doença dentro dos estabelecimentos de saúde. O presente estudo apresenta um relato de experiência decorrente da necessidade de discutir como a pandemia de covid-19 impactou o fluxo de trabalho no CME de um hospital referência no atendimento de portadores da doença. Desta forma, este estudo objetivou relatar a vivência dos profissionais do CME de um Hospital Universitário acerca da adequação do processamento de PPS às recomendações das legislações vigentes para prevenção e controle da infecção pelo novo coronavírus. Foram consultadas resoluções, notas técnicas e normas regulamentadoras da Agência Nacional de Vigilância Sanitária e do Ministério da Saúde e diretrizes de boas práticas de segurança e processamento de PPS. Constatou-se alterações no processo de trabalho, tais como instalação de termodesinfectadora e secadora para processamento de materiais de assistência respiratória, adequação de fluxos e protocolos de transporte e limpeza de PPS. Percebeu-se uma mudança na cultura de segurança entre os colaboradores, e enfatizou-se a importância das capacitações em serviço. Os achados demonstram que os profissionais de enfermagem alocados no CME, apesar de não atuarem na assistência direta ao paciente, são susceptíveis a infecções pela exposição diária a artigos hospitalares potencialmente contaminados.

УКРАЇНСЬКА НАРОДНА ПСАЛЬМА ЯК РЕПРЕЗЕНТАНТ НАЦІОНАЛЬНОЇ КАРТИНИ СВІТУ
Authors: РОМАНЮК Ірина , ЗІНЧЕНКО Вікторія
Published: March 2023

Актуальність заявленої проблеми безпосередньо пов’язана з подіями в Україні 2022 року, що на новому витку історичного поступу ставлять питання збереження національної самоідентичності. У сучасній науці затребуваними стають дослідження онтологічних засад національної культури, знакових художніх феноменів. У статті розглядається сучасний стан наукової рефлексії жанру української народної псальми, його історичної рецепції. Метою наукової статті є досвід аналізу народної псальми як репрезентанта української картини світу (ширше – духовного виміру національної музичної культури). Обрана проблематика спрямована на увиразнення живильної сили генетичної пам’яті національної культури. Методологія дослідження заснована на поєднанні історико-генетичного, жанрового та стильового наукових підходів. Наукова новизна отриманих результатів дослідження пов’язана з обґрунтуванням методології жанрового аналізу як складової загального контексту української національної картини світу. Розглядається філогенез української народної псальми в просторі сакральної пісенної творчості (псалом, духовний вірш). Розмежовано онтологічну дистанцію між світським (народна псальма) і церковним (псалом) типами культури. Запропоновано жанрову типологію жанру народної псальми у послідовності структурно-стилістичних особливостей (сольний і багатоголосний різновиди). Підкреслено ментальні ознаки народної псальми, які доводять онтологічність мислення українського народу як цілісної «духовної одиниці» (О. Потебня): релігійність, кордоцентризм, самобутність картини світу (екос-етос-етнос). У Висновках розкривається сутність народної псальми як етнопсихологічного феномена, який концептуалізує історизм уявлень про українську національну картину світу в сучасному глобалізованому світі.
