On Verb Enantiosemy in Khakas
Authors: Shagdurova O. Yu.
Published: January 2025

In the following article, we demonstrate usage and formation of contronyms using verb semantics as examples. Our purpose is to determine the main patterns of semantic development of polysemic verbs in Khakas on the basis of formation of opposite meanings in verb structures. We use a system of methods including description, interpretation, and classification of materials, as well as lexicographic methods, analysis of components and ф contextual analysis. Contronymic verbs are taken from dictionaries, literary fiction, mass media, folklore texts, as well as oral Khakas speech. We analyze around 100 polysemic verbs with contronymic meanings. The relevance of our study stems from the fact that Khakas enantiosemy has not yet been thoroughly researched; in particular, verb enantiosemy in Khakas (as well as Siberian Turkic languages in general) is described for the first time, ensuring the novelty of our project. We describe contronymic verbs, ways of formation of contronymy in polysemic verbs, semantic types of contronymic meanings, namely genus enantiosemy, contextual enantiosemy, enantiosemy of compatibility, and conversion enantiosemy. Our materials and research results may be used in textbooks on Khakas lexicology, in further studies of semantics, word structures, and theoretical issues of asymmetry of signs. We demonstrate that in Khakas, enantiosemy emerges as a result of various processes resulting in contronymic meanings within words.
Linguacultural characteristics of Japanese anime title translations into English
Authors: Permyakova T. N. , Gogoleva D. A.
Published: January 2025

This work aims to consider the linguacultural characteristics of translating Japanese anime titles into English. The translation of foreign filmonyms requires the consideration of extralinguistic factors, which underlines the importance of this research. It is essential to analyse not only the language itself, but also the cultural nuances of the countries in which the animated and feature films are being distributed. The theoretical section of the study covers the conceptual framework, the definition of the term “title”, the functions of filmonyms, translation strategies and types, historical facts related to the development of the anime genre in Japan and around the world, with a further focus on the various types of animated films. The practical part of the study analyses 150 filmonyms from a list of the most highly-rated anime films and series, as identified by the MyAnimeList search portal. Linguistic and cultural analysis of the translation of Japanese anime titles into English was conducted, revealing specific features of translation adaptation and proposing alternative translation options for anime titles. The analysis revealed that a significant proportion of the titles were translated from Japanese into English using techniques such as calquing and transliteration. Nevertheless, it has been demonstrated that the most effective method for adapting Japanese anime titles into English is through the use of translation techniques that incorporate extralinguistic factors, such as the cultural aspects of the target language. This is due to the fact that titles adapted in this manner are more closely integrated with the receiving culture, are more easily understood by viewers, and are therefore more appealing. Furthermore, such titles are more effective in reflecting the plot of the anime.

Although reliable rechargeable batteries represent a key transformative technology for electric vehicles, portable electronics, and renewable energy, there are few nondestructive diagnostic techniques compatible with realistic commercial cell enclosures. Many battery failures result from the loss or chemical degradation of electrolyte. In this work, we present measurements through battery enclosures that allow quantification of electrolyte amount and composition. The study employs instrumentation and techniques developed in the context of zero-to-ultralow-field nuclear magnetic resonance (ZULF NMR), with optical atomic magnetometers as the detection elements. In contrast to conventional NMR methodology, which suffers from skin-depth limitations, the reduced resonance frequencies in ZULF NMR make battery housing and electrodes transparent to the electromagnetic fields involved. As demonstrated here through simulation and experiment, both the solvent and lithium-salt components of the electrolyte (LiPF6) signature could be quantified using our techniques. Further, we show that the apparatus is compatible with measurement of pouch-cell batteries.
Harness first principles thinking in problem-based learning for chemical education
Authors: Tan Junjun , Xiao Xinxin
Published: January 2025

In philosophy and science, a first principle is a basic proposition or assumption that cannot be deduced from any other proposition or assumption. Ancient Greek philosophy Aristotle defined the first principle as “the first basis from which a thing is known.” First principles thinking (or reasoning from first principles) is a way of thinking and problem-solving that breaks down a complex problem into its most basic assumptions, facts, concepts, or ideas and then reassembles them from the bottom-up. In this paper, we reported our attempts to harness first principles thinking into problem-based learning (PBL) in chemistry education. Two PBL projects were elaborately designed respectively for two student groups. By utilizing the inquiry-based technique and jigsaw technique, the understanding of the fundamental principles of chemistry was employed to guide the students´ research activity and strengthen the learning of chemistry. We also observed signs of increased creativity during the process. This communication indicated that first principles thinking could be harnessed to increase students´ learning depth and promote creativity in chemical education.

Published: January 2025

Under ultrafast magic-angle spinning (MAS), proton-detected solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (ssNMR) has emerged as a powerful technique for elucidating structures from sub-milligram protein, where establishing 13C-15N correlations is essential. However, traditional 13C-15N cross-polarization (CP), which performs well at lower MAS frequencies, suffers diminished efficiency under ultrafast MAS conditions. To address this challenge, we have developed a robust method for selective polarization between insensitive nuclei (SPINE). This approach significantly enhances the efficiency of heteronuclear 13C-15N correlation compared to CP, achieving gain factors of 1.75 for 13CA-15N and 1.9 and 13CO-15N transfers. These enhancements can reduce the duration of current multi-dimensional experiments to approximately one-third of that required by 13C-15N CP and to approximately one-tenth when involving two 13C-15N transfers. The effectiveness of SPINE has been validated through experiments on four distinct proteins: the microcrystalline β1 immunoglobulin binding domain of protein G (GB1), the large-conductance mechanosensitive ion channel from Methanosarcina acetivorans (MaMscL), fibrillar septum-forming protein (SepF), and the vertex protein of the β-carboxysome shell (CcmL). These findings highlight the practical utility and versatility of SPINE in ssNMR spectroscopy, making it a valuable approach for structural biology applications.

Purpose: This study explores the influence of contractors' management strategies (CMS) on construction project performance in Ghana. Globally, including in Ghana, the construction industry faces persistent performance challenges, partly due to the adoption of ineffective management strategies.                         
Design/Methodology/Approach: The research employed a descriptive cross-sectional survey, gathering data from 375 site managers working in medium and large-sized construction companies. Statistical techniques, including principal component analysis, Pearson correlation, and regression analysis, were applied to analyse the data.                              
Findings: The study found that while contractor management strategies identified in the literature are only moderately applied, they lead to average project performance. Nevertheless, the findings also highlight that the active implementation of comprehensive project planning, robust monitoring and control systems, effective stakeholder collaboration, and the integration of digital technologies can significantly enhance project performance.                                     Research Limitation: The study was limited to medium and large-sized construction firms. Including data from smaller firms could improve the generalizability of the findings.         Practical Implication: For construction managers seeking to improve project outcomes, the findings highlight the importance of prioritising effective project planning, robust monitoring and control, strong stakeholder collaboration, and the integration of digital technology. Emphasising these strategies can lead to more efficient project execution, improved performance metrics, and overall project success.                                                                  
Social Implication: Improved CMS can foster better working conditions, enhance safety, and increase client satisfaction, contributing to a more substantial reputation and economic growth for local contractors in developing economies like Ghana.                       
Originality/Value: This work uniquely explores the role of CMS within Ghana's construction sector and offers actionable recommendations that could be valuable for similar contexts in other developing nations.

Published: January 2025

Purpose: This paper determined the microbial content of bed linens used by students based on period of usage, gender of user and types of fabrics.
Design/Methodology/ Approach: Laboratory tests were conducted on bed linens used by students. Purposive and convenience sampling techniques were employed to select 32 each male and female participants living alone for the study. 32 pieces of bed linens, each 100% cotton and cotton/polyester blend, were used for the experiment. Two categories of gender (male and female) and two different periods of usage (one week and two weeks) were also employed. The statistical software employed to analyse the data collected was the Statistical Package and Service Solution (SPSS) for Windows version 26. Means and standard deviations of microbial load of bed linens were determined. Independent samples t-test and analysis of variance were employed to determine if differences existed between and among the variables studied.
Findings: The study found no difference in microbial load in terms of duration and gender of the user. The results also showed more bacteria load on 100% cotton bed linen than on cotton and polyester blends.
Research Limitation: The study's sample was confined to a specific group of students at one university, limiting the generalizability of the findings to a broader student population or diverse living conditions.
Practical Implication: The study's outcome is significant for public health and daily hygiene practices. The Ghana health service can use the information to educate individuals on the dangers they will likely be exposed to using bed linens for an extended period without washing and raise awareness about the often-overlooked issue of microbial contamination in everyday environments.
Social Implication: The study highlights the need for increased awareness and responsibility regarding personal hygiene within living environments.
Originality/Value: This study advances the understanding of microbial contamination in students' bed linens by identifying the roles of usage period, user gender, and fabric type.

Aim To evaluate the diagnostic utility of Potassium Hydroxide KOH wet mounts and fungal cultures FC in clinically suspected mycotic keratitis cases.Methods A retrospective study was conducted analyzing microbiological records of 150 patients with suspected mycotic keratitis from November 2016 to November 2017 at a tertiary eye care center in South India. Fungal cultures were performed on Sabouraud Dextrose Agar for at least three weeks. KOH wet mounts were conducted on 87 samples while 63 were untested due to drying 37 or insufficient sample volume 26. Demographic data KOH results fungal cultures and species isolated were analyzed using SPSS software version 2.0 applying the Pearson Chi-Square test P lt0.05 considered significant.Results Patients ranged in age from 2 to 89 years with a higher prevalence of males n90 compared to females n60. KOH wet mounts were positive in 24 27.6 and negative in 63 72.4 samples. Fungal cultures were positive in 84 cases 56 and negative in 66 44. Among the 24 KOH-positive samples 17 also had positive fungal cultures while 7 showed no fungal growth. Fusarium was the most commonly isolated species followed by Aspergillus.Conclusion The KOH wet mount serves as a rapid diagnostic tool for detecting fungal hyphae in mycotic keratitis with a greater likelihood of fungal isolation in KOH-positive cases. However a negative KOH result does not rule out fungal culture positivity. High clinical suspicion is crucial in treating corneal ulcers given the burden of fungal infections as a leading cause of mycotic keratitis in developing countries.

Changes in the Stress-Strain State of a Tooth with Root Perforation
Authors: Dolya E.I. , Nikonov A.Yu.
Published: January 2025

Background. One of the most common complications during mechanical processing of the tooth cavity and root canals is perforation of the bottom or walls of the tooth cavity, as well as perforation of the root canal. As a result of perforation and resulting stress concentration in the hard tissues of the tooth, inflammatory and destructive processes develop in the periodontium and jaw bone.

Purpose – study of the influence of the features of the stress-deformed state of a multirooted tooth with perforation of hard tissues in the bifurcation area.

Materials and Methods. The stress-strain state of the tooth is studied by the finite element method depending on the size of the perforation. A three-dimensional modelof the tooth was constructed using the finite element method. The three-dimensional finite-element model includes the volumes of all hard tissues of the tooth: enamel, dentin, cementum; the periodontium, spongy and compact substance of the bone is taken into account; volumes of the prepared tooth cavity and perforation canal.

Results. A series of calculations of the effect of perforations of different diameters were performed: 1.5 mm; 2.0 mm; 2.5 mm. The distribution of stress intensity (MPa) in the object as a whole and individual tissues showed a non-uniform distribution of stress intensity with maximum values in the root bifurcation zone.

Conclusions. When perforation occurs in the furcation area, there is a concentration of tension in the areas of the hard tissues of the tooth and peri-dental tissues, which was not normally observed. The most stressed area of the tooth, regardless of the diameter of the perforation channel, is the area of the furcation of the roots. The stress that is concentrated in this area is much higher than the stress that occurs without perforation. The presence of a root ledge in the perforation channel reduces the stress concentration in all cases considered. The highest stress concentration of all investigated cases occurs with a perforation diameter of 2 mm (8.15 and 8.38 MPa).
Peculiarities of reparative osteogenesis of mandibular perforation defects using adipose tissue stem cells on collagenous scaffold in experimental animals
Authors: Kutsevlyak V.F. , Lyubchenko O.V.
Published: January 2025

Background. The success of reconstructive surgical treatment of inflammatory processes and traumatic injuries is largely determined by the processes of reparative bone regeneration. One of the promising areas of correction of bone regeneration is the transplantation of autologous stem cells derived from adipose tissue.

Purpose – was to investigate the morphological changes in rabbit jaw bone tissue using autologous stem cells derived from adipose tissue on a collagenous substrate.

Materials and Methods. In the treatment of perforated bone defects in an experiment in 16 rabbits (12 animals – main group, 4 – control). The main group was divided into 3 subgroups. Autologous stem cells were obtained from subcutaneous fat isolated from the inguinal region of experimental animals. Autologous adipose tissue stem cells were injected into the area of the hole defect of the lower jaw of rabbits. The animals were withdrawn from the experiment on days 42 and 90.

Results. The histotopograms determined the zonation of the regenerated structure with a division into superficial and deep zones. On the 42nd day, 1% of the regenerate structure was occupied by hematoma remnants, 55% by cellular-fibrous tissue, 12% by osteoid tissue, and 32% by newly formed bony trabeculae. Thus, the structure of the regenerate was dominated by cell-fibrous tissue, well vascularized, with almost no leukocyte infiltration, and osteogenesis zones occupied the deep parts of the defect. On the 90th day, on the histotopograms, according to morphometric data, the cell-fibrous tissue made up only 8% of the structure of the regenerate, and the network of osteoid and newly formed bone trabeculae accounted for 92%, and 9% of them had a large loop character. In the peripheral areas of the network of bone trabeculae, the formation of neoplasms of the cortical layer was detected, occupying 7%.

Conclusions – the use of morphological and morphometric methods of research made it possible to determine that the introduction of autologous stem cells from adipose tissue with collagen stimulates the processes of osteogenic tissue formation and its restructuring into differentiated bone structures.
Toward a More Hospitable Church
Authors: Kristiatmo Thomas
Published: January 2025

This article explores the interconnection between the phenomenon of migration and ecclesiology by analyzing the thoughts of Bernard Lonergan (1904-1984) and Peter C. Phan (1943- …). Utilizing qualitative method and literature study, this research seeks to elucidate how Lonergan’s idea of historical consciousness and Phan’s theological-ecclesiological reflection upon the Church could bring about a fresh understanding of the Church which is more hospitable and hence more inclusive. This is certainly not an easy task as the Church has undergone a lot of dynamics. Looking back at the history of this more-than-two-thousand-year-old institution, one will find that it is indeed a history laden with accounts of migrations. Consequently, while Phan’s project of doing a theological reflection on migration can pave the way towards a more hospitable Church, Lonergan’s proposal to resort to historical consciousness may serve as the key element in ecclesiology.

This paper aims to analyze the implementation of restitution right fulfillment for children as sexual crime victims in the legal area of the North Maluku High Prosecutor’s Office, Indonesia and the challenges in fulfilling these rights. Restitution is compensation given to the victim by the perpetrator of the crime or a third party and is an effort to guarantee the rights of victims. There was an issue where restitution rights were seldom strived for by law enforcers. Another problem is that society lacks knowledge of the existence of restitution rights. This paper is urgent because it may provide information on why these issues exist and how to resolve them in order to give victims their rights. This was empirical research which employed the statute approach and the case approach. In this paper, the live case study was applied. Results showed that the restitution fulfillment of children as sexual crime victims in the North Maluku High Prosecutor’s Office was still suboptimum as there was only one case in 2022 where the general prosecutor strived to demand restitution. The restitution is regulated in Governmental Regulation No. 43 of 2017 and Guidelines Supreme Court No. 1 of 2021. Law enforcing apparatuses and social institutions need to organize an education program for society on restitution rights for children as sexual crime victims in the North Maluku Province to increase their awareness. The application for restitution should be strived for by law enforcers starting from the investigation stage as more time is available.
Pelanggaran Lalu Lintas oleh Anak Sekolah dan Implikasinya Terhadap Penegakan Sanksi

Published: January 2025

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis pelanggaran lalu lintas yang dilakukan oleh anak di bawah umur di wilayah Polres Kudus, meliputi jenis pelanggaran, faktor penyebab, serta efektivitas sanksi yang diterapkan. Permasalahan ini di latar belakangi oleh meningkatnya kasus pelanggaran lalu lintas oleh anak-anak, seperti tidak menggunakan helm, melanggar marka jalan, tidak memiliki Surat Izin Mengemudi (SIM), dan melawan arus, yang memerlukan pendekatan khusus dalam penegakan hukum. Urgensi penelitian terletak pada pentingnya intervensi yang tepat untuk mencegah dampak negatif dari pelanggaran ini, seperti meningkatnya risiko kecelakaan fatal, hilangnya rasa disiplin berlalu lintas, dan lemahnya penegakan hukum di masyarakat. tanpa tindakan yang efektif, pelanggaran lalu lintas oleh anak-anak dapat menjadi kebiasaan buruk yang terus terbawa hingga dewasa dan mengancam keselamatan mereka sendiri dengan pengguna jalan lainnya. Metode yang digunakan adalah penelitian kualitatif dengan pendekatan yuridis sosiologis, di mana data dikumpulkan melalui wawancara dan observasi langsung di lapangan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pelanggaran lalu lintas anak di bawah umur adalah tidak menggunakan helm dengan total 3.410 kasus periode Januari-Agustus 2024. Pelanggaran ini mendominasi karena anak-anak sering kali menganggap penggunaan helm sebagai sesuatu yang tidak penting, tidak nyaman dan menganggap sebagai aksesoris saja. Disisi lain, pelanggaran lalu lintas anak di bawah umur juga sering terjadi akibat kurangnya pengawasan dari orang tua dan minimnya transportasi umum. Sanksi tilang yang diterapkan sudah efektif dalam pencegahan melalui sosialisasi ke beberapa sekolah, namun sering kali tanggung jawab sanksi dialihkan kepada orang tua, sehingga anak tidak merasakan dampak langsung. Meningkatnya pelanggaran lalau lintas oleh anak di bawah umur tidak hanya mengancam keselamatan mereka, tetapi juga menunjukkan adanya kelemahan dalam pendekatan penegakan hukum yang belum mempertimbangkan aspek edukasi. Kesimpulannya, diperlukan sanksi alternatif seperti keterlibatan dalam program layanan masyarakat yang terkait dengan keselamatan lalu lintas, untuk memberikan efek jera sekaligus mendidik anak-anak tentang pentingnya mematuhi aturan lalu lintas. Kebaharuan penelitian ini terletak pada penekanan aspek edukasi dalam penegakan hukum terhadap pelanggaran lalu lintas oleh anak-anak sebagai strategi baru yang belum banyak dibahas dalam penelitian sebelumnya. Dengan menggabungkan antara perspektif hukum, pendidikan, dan sosial, penelitian ini menawarkan pendekatan yang lebih menyeluruh dalam mengatasi permasalahan pelanggaran lalu lintas di kalangan anak-anak.

Authors: Clarence Jennifer , Sugiyono Heru
Published: January 2025

This study aims to analyze legal protection and compensation mechanisms for consumers who are victims of illegal MLM-based investments, referring to Law Number 8 of 1999, and to assess the role and effectiveness of the OJK in supervision and enforcement. This illegal investment phenomenon is relevant to study because it often utilizes manipulative tactics, including the use of misleading information to encourage potential consumers to allocate their funds. Although legal regulations related to consumer protection are available, effective implementation and supervision are often challenges in ensuring that victims receive fair compensation. The study uses a normative legal method by reviewing theories, concepts, legal principles, and related laws and regulations. The research findings show that victims of illegal MLM-based investments in Indonesia have legal protection under the Consumer Protection Law, with supervision carried out by the Financial Services Authority (OJK). Victims have the right to file for a refund or compensation through a class action lawsuit mechanism. However, the limited assets of the perpetrator company are a major obstacle in implementing compensation. Therefore, a new, more effective approach is needed in supervision and law enforcement, including improving regulations to mitigate similar risks in the future.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis perlindungan hukum dan mekanisme ganti rugi bagi konsumen korban investasi ilegal berbasis MLM, mengacu pada Undang-Undang Nomor 8 Tahun 1999, serta menilai peran dan efektivitas OJK dalam pengawasan dan penindakan. Fenomena investasi ilegal ini relevan untuk dikaji karena kerap memanfaatkan taktik manipulatif, termasuk penggunaan informasi yang menyesatkan untuk mendorong calon konsumen mengalokasikan dana mereka. Meskipun aturan hukum terkait perlindungan konsumen telah tersedia, implementasi dan pengawasan yang efektif sering kali menjadi tantangan dalam memastikan korban memperoleh ganti rugi yang adil. Penelitian menggunakan metode yuridis normatif dengan meninjau teori, konsep, asas hukum, dan peraturan perundang-undangan terkait. Temuan penelitian menunjukkan bahwa korban investasi ilegal berbasis MLM di Indonesia memiliki perlindungan hukum di bawah Undang-Undang Perlindungan Konsumen, dengan pengawasan yang dilakukan oleh Otoritas Jasa Keuangan (OJK). Korban berhak mengajukan pengembalian dana atau kompensasi melalui mekanisme gugatan class action. Namun, keterbatasan aset perusahaan pelaku menjadi hambatan utama dalam pelaksanaan ganti rugi. Oleh karena itu, diperlukan pendekatan baru yang lebih efektif dalam pengawasan dan penegakan hukum, termasuk perbaikan regulasi untuk memitigasi risiko serupa di masa mendatang.

Membongkar Permainan-Kebenaran (Truth-Games) Penuntut Umum Dalam Kasus Korupsi Tata Niaga PT. Timah
Authors: Marbun Rocky
Published: January 2025

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk membongkar model permainan-kebenaran (truth-games) dari Penuntut Umum melalui komunikasi instrumental berbasis logika monolog guna mencapai kepentingannya dalam mempersalahkan Terdakwa—sebagai tujuan utama, dalam proses penegakan hukum pidana pada perkara Korupsi Tata Niaga PT. Timah. Diskursus validitas terhadap Surat Dakwaan—sebagai bagian dari tindakan Penuntutan, dalam proses pembuktian di depan persidangan, selalu dikonstruksikan berdasarkan keterpenuhan akan asas jelas, cermat, dan lengkap melalui Pasal 143 ayat (2) huruf b KUHAP, dengan ancaman Surat Dakwaan dinyatakan batal demi hukum. Asas Jelas, Cermat, dan Lengkap dipandang sebagai suatu parameter untuk mengukur bahwa telah muncul pemahaman dan keyakinan Penuntut Umum akan adanya suatu peristiwa pidana yang terjadi. Namun demikian, dalam kajian Ilmu Hukum yang bersifat normatif tersebut, tidak mampu melakukan teoretisasi terhadap strategi bahasa kekuasaan sebagai kapital simbolik yang bersifat subyektif dari kesadaran diri Penuntut Umum. Oleh karena itu, adalah penting untuk mengungkapkan tehnik komunikasi yang dikembangkan oleh Penuntut Umum dalam merasionalisasikan dakwaannya, dalam proses jawab menjawab guna mempertahankan pendapatnya melalui dialektika pada pemeriksaan Ahli Hukum Pidana. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode yuridis-normatif dengan pendekatan partisipatoris. Data yang digunakan dikumpulkan melalui studi literatur dan rekaman persidangan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan (1) komunikasi Penuntut Umum bersifat instrumental; (2) perilaku generalisasi fakta; (3) menghindari kajian hubungan hukum dan subyek hukum; (4) terjadinya sesat pikir dalam penggunaan bahasa normatif sebagai strategi bahasa kekuasaan; dan (5) konstruksi strategi bahasa kekuasaan melalui dominasi penafsiran guna pemenuhan unsur kerugian keuangan negara sebagai representasi tindak pidana korupsi.

The urgent need for legal protection for buyers of uncertified inherited land under Islamic law is critical. This study employs a normative juridical approach, supported by an extensive literature review, to examine the complexities of buying and selling inherited land within the framework of Islamic inheritance law, known as farāid. This system delineates specific shares for each heir as guided by syara'. The process of purchasing inherited land mirrors that of individual land transactions, with significant distinctions concerning certification status. Key findings reveal that all heirs listed on the Heir Certificate, issued by the District Head or Notary, must consent to any sale. If the seller is later found to lack rightful ownership or if the documentation is fraudulent, a buyer acting in good faith is entitled to legal protection. This framework safeguards buyers from potential legal repercussions stemming from the seller's misrepresentation or lack of ownership. The study underscores the necessity for robust legal frameworks to protect buyers and uphold justice in land transactions, particularly in situations where certification is absent. This research analyzes the legal protections available to buyers of uncertified inherited land, emphasizing the importance of awareness and due diligence in transactions to mitigate risks associated with unclear legal aspects.

Published: January 2025

Objective: To compare the clinical efficacy of moxifloxacin and levofloxacin in the treatment of elderly patients with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). Methods: A total of 80 elderly CAP patients admitted between April 2023 and February 2024 were randomly divided into two groups. The control group (n = 40) received treatment with levofloxacin, while the observation group (n = 40) was treated with moxifloxacin. Relevant clinical indicators were observed and compared between the two groups. Results: The overall effective treatment rate in the observation group reached 95.00%, significantly higher than the 75.00% observed in the control group (P < 0.05). The time required for improvement in clinical symptoms was significantly shorter in the observation group compared to the control group (P < 0.001). Pulmonary function indicators, including FVC, FEV1, and FEV1/FVC, improved in both groups after treatment, but the improvement was more pronounced in the observation group (P < 0.001). Serum inflammatory factor levels indicated that post-treatment levels of IL-6, PCT, and CRP decreased in both groups compared to pre-treatment levels, with a more significant reduction in the observation group (P < 0.001). The incidence of adverse reactions in the observation group was 7.50%, markedly lower than the 25.00% observed in the control group (P < 0.05). Conclusion: Moxifloxacin demonstrates better clinical efficacy and safety in the treatment of elderly patients with CAP, making it a valuable option for clinical application. However, the choice of medication should still consider individual patient conditions comprehensively.

Objective: To explore the effects of mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) training combined with dexmedetomidine hydrochloride preemptive sedation on postoperative sleep quality in patients undergoing laparoscopic ovarian tumor resection. By comparing postoperative sleep quality, pain scores, anxiety scores, and adverse reactions among three groups of patients, the clinical efficacy of this combined treatment was evaluated. Methods: A total of 123 patients undergoing laparoscopic ovarian tumor resection in the hospital from January 2022 to December 2023 were included. Based on the interventions, patients were randomly divided into three groups: Group I received dexmedetomidine hydrochloride preemptive sedation, Group II received MBSR training, and Group III received a combination of MBSR training and dexmedetomidine hydrochloride preemptive sedation. Preoperative SAS anxiety scores, postoperative adverse reactions (nausea, vomiting, respiratory depression, skin itching, etc.), VAS pain scores, Ramsay sedation scores, AIS sleep scores, and postoperative SAS anxiety scores were recorded and analyzed. Results: The results showed that Group III demonstrated significantly better postoperative sleep quality (first-day postoperative AIS score: 7.975 ± 1.98), pain relief (first-day postoperative VAS score: 2.97 ± 0.85), and anxiety improvement (first-day postoperative SAS score: 40.46 ± 2.12) compared to Groups I and II (P < 0.05). Additionally, Group III exhibited a lower incidence of adverse reactions, particularly in terms of nausea, vomiting, and respiratory depression. Conclusion: MBSR training combined with dexmedetomidine hydrochloride preemptive sedation effectively reduces perioperative stress responses, improves postoperative sleep quality, alleviates pain, and relieves anxiety in patients undergoing laparoscopic ovarian tumor resection, with good safety and tolerability. This study provides a novel intervention strategy for the postoperative rehabilitation of patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery, meriting further clinical application.

Published: January 2025

As China’s urbanization development direction has shifted from incremental construction to upgrading existing structures, urban renewal has become an important planning approach, and the gradual micro-renewal model has become a key trend for residential area transformation. Additionally, the local renewal approach focusing on public spaces of residential areas is becoming a new way to enhance the quality of urban public spaces, stimulate urban vitality, and promote sustainable development of regions. Currently, due to the long building years and other factors, old communities have insufficient public facilities, parking difficulties, outdated facilities, and other problems, making it difficult to meet the needs of residents’ lives. This paper takes Baizhifang Street in Xicheng District as an example and starts from the meaning of participatory design, respecting the existing environment and policies in China, discussing the public space problems, selecting the renewal area and formulating design strategies, and finally showcases the actual application of the design in public space renovation.
