Bergomum. Nomi indigeni e forme d’integrazione nell’epigrafia locale
Authors: Pironi Davide Luigi
Published: May 2024

L’articolo affronta il problema delle interazioni fra cittadini romani e indigeni nel territorio di Bergomum, municipium della regio xi - Transpadana, attraverso l’esame delle formule onomastiche riscontrabili in alcune iscrizioni. In particolare, l’analisi della documentazione epigrafica agirà su un doppio binario, prendendo in considerazione sia formule di onomastica idionimica – tipicamente indigene e presenti anche dopo la concessione della cittadinanza romana alla Transpadana alla metà del I secolo a.C. – sia formule fedeli al modello romano dei tria nomina, che testimoniano un’ascendenza celtica e una certa persistenza di abitudini locali. Le prove fornite dall’onomastica, dunque, saranno utili ad indagare come gli abitanti “indigeni” di Bergomum abbiano affrontato la romanizzazione del loro territorio e attraverso quali meccanismi vennero integrati nella struttura sociale romana; ciò anche attraverso il confronto con realtà circonvicine, prima fra tutte la Colonia Civica Augusta Brixia.
Olimpica 13 di Pindaro tra occasione e riesecuzione
Authors: Corvasce Simone
Published: May 2024

L’Olimpica 13 di Pindaro, dedicata a Senofonte di Corinto, presenta due caratteristiche macroscopiche: lunghi elenchi di vittorie ottenute dalla famiglia di Senofonte e un accumulo di miti strettamente legati alla città di Corinto (Sisifo, Medea, Glauco e Bellerofonte). Questa connessione con Corinto è stata fortemente rimarcata, con particolare attenzione alla famiglia degli Oligetidi e ai miti di Medea e Sisifo presenti nei perduti Korinthiaká di Eumelo. Nondimeno, l’ode sembra mostrare i tipici meccanismi atti a interessare pubblici secondari. Ritengo che le narrazioni di Pindaro siano consapevolmente generiche, allo scopo di permettere riesecuzioni in festival e simposi. Dall’altro lato, anche la precisione dei cataloghi di vittorie può avere la funzione, in scenari di riesecuzione, di dare ai futuri ascoltatori la sensazione di trovarsi nel luogo della prima esecuzione (l’espediente della cosiddetta “pseudo-intimacy”).

Colorectal cancer remains a significant global health concern, ranking as the fifth most frequent cancer in Pakistan. Projections indicate a rapid increase in colorectal cancer cases worldwide over the next two decades, with emerging nations expected to account for the majority of the cases. Objective: This research aimed to monitor the clinical and demographic details of patients with colorectal cancer treated. Methods: The study included all patients diagnosed with colorectal cancer and treated at the Surgical and Oncology Department of Jinnah Hospital Lahore between November 2022 to November 2023. Gender, age, co-morbid conditions, presenting symptoms, histopathology, grade of histopathology, and T/N/M staging were assessed. Results: One hundred fifteen individuals were examined, comprising 31.3% females and 64.3% males. The majority of patients (31.3%) were under 50 years old, with no significant difference in mean ages between sexes (p = 0.42). The mean age of patients was 45.46±15.2 years. Smoking history was present in 2.6%, diabetes in 11.3%, and hypertension in 1.3% of cases. Abdominal pain was the predominant presenting complaint (15.7%), followed by diarrhea (2.6%). Histopathology revealed moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma in 38.3% of cases, with grade 2 tumors being the most common (32.3%). Conclusions: The study highlights an increased risk of colorectal cancer, even in younger individuals in the Pakistani population. Encouraging screening among the youth with family history and getting the general population to look into their symptoms early on is crucial to identify patients in the early stages of the disease, thereby enhancing the chances of survival.

Religion and Mental Health
Authors: Agarwal A.K.
Published: May 2024

I am grateful to the U. P. Chapter of the Indian Psychiatric Society for inviting me to deliver the first oration. I have chosen the topic of religion and mental health, for this oration. The definition of mental health (WHO) includes the concept of spiritual health, but the profession has not given it much emphasis because we wish to remain scientific and reject religion and spirituality as areas beyond the realm of science. We need to understand that drugs may treat the body and brain but may not be effective for discontent, negativity, etc. Spirituality is needed for total treatment.  This presentation will focus on exploring the application of these precepts in day-to-day clinical practice.

Published: May 2024

Post-stroke depression has been well-researched over the last few decades. Despite advances, it remains a poorly understood entity and till now, a replicable and valid model explaining the etiology of post-stroke depression remains elusive. This is alarming considering the fact that the prevalence of post-stroke depression has been estimated to be around 18 to 33% of patients suffering from stroke in various studies.1 Post-stroke depression is often associated with changes in the expression of the monoamine receptors and alteration in the receptor sensitivity.2 A number of studies have attempted to recognize clinical and neuro-anatomical correlates that can predict the development of post-stroke depression in patients suffering from stroke.3–5 The most replicated risk factor that has been postulated for post-stroke depression include a history of mental disorder, higher stroke severity, higher post-stroke physical disability, higher cognitive impairment, and poorer social support.3,4 However, here we present a case of post-stroke depression with few of the predictive factors being present.

Authors: Kalibek Ruslan , Sopyryaeva Daria
Published: May 2024

This paper outlines a highly efficient wirelessly magnetic field-based information transmission method, enabling real-time data acquisition. Emphasizing stringent demands on magnetic devices for high sensitivity across a wide range of field strengths, it highlights the need for rapid response times and minimal power consumption. The work introduces a prefabricated magnetic sensor programmed on an Arduino board using Hall’s Effect. This principle exploits electron transfer within a conductor under a magnetic field, inducing a transverse potential difference. Meticulously chosen solid-state materials and geometries generate detectable pulses, subsequently amplified for measuring various magnetic field components. Operating within a voltage range of 2.7-6.5V, aligned with the Arduino's 5V standard, the sensor demonstrates zero signal levels at 2.25-2.75V. Sensitivity ranges from 1.0-1.75 mV/gauss, mandating pre-calibration for accuracy, facilitated by a pre-calibration function or reset button. Output voltage ranges from 1.0-4.0V when powered by 5V, suitable for analog-to-digital conversion. With a minimum measurement range of ±650 gauss, typically extending to ±1000 gauss, and a swift response time of 3 ms, the sensor allows measurements up to tens of kHz. Operating currents between 6-10 mA are suitable for battery-powered applications, while a temperature-induced error of 0.1%/°C equates to 3 mT. Notably, the sensor measures magnetic fields along and perpendicular to the axis. To enhance accessibility and accuracy, a specialized Python-based software tool has been developed, featuring automatic sensor identification. This work encapsulates the paper's focus on advancing magnetic field measurement technology with practical implications for diverse applications.

Published: May 2024

A eficácia da promoção do aleitamento materno depende de métodos de ensino adequados às puérperas, considerando seu contexto sociocultural e preferências. A falta de acesso a tecnologias e questões socioculturais influenciam essa eficácia. Questões legais e políticas de saúde também desempenham um papel importante na promoção do aleitamento materno. Apesar dos benefícios, as taxas de aleitamento materno exclusivo ainda são baixas, devido a vários fatores, incluindo falta de conhecimento, vínculo afetivo e dificuldades na amamentação. O objetivo foi descrever a atuação do enfermeiro na promoção do aleitamento materno com puérperas do alojamento conjunto. A metodologia utilizada neste estudo consiste em uma revisão de literatura de cunho descritivo e qualitativo. A pesquisa foi conduzida nas bases de dados SCIELO, LILACS e BDENF. Os descritores utilizados para a busca foram Aleitamento Materno, Educação em Saúde, Enfermagem e Alojamento Conjunto. Os cinco estudos revisados abordaram diferentes estratégias de promoção do aleitamento materno. Utilizando abordagens educacionais variadas, como cartilhas, atividades práticas, rodas de conversa e materiais informativos, os enfermeiros buscaram orientar as puérperas sobre a importância do aleitamento materno e a correta técnica de amamentação. Apesar das diversas técnicas empregadas, alguns estudos apontaram para a sobrecarga de tarefas dos enfermeiros na atenção primária, o que pode interferir na qualidade das orientações fornecidas. No entanto, a maioria das puérperas relatou ter recebido informações adequadas e se mostrou preparada para cuidar do recém-nascido em casa.

THE SIGNIFICANCE OF DRAWING, UNDERPAINTING AND IMPRIMATURA IN COPYING OIL PAINTINGS OF THE OLD MASTERS
Authors: Лещинский К.В. , Березина А.С.
Published: May 2024

Одной из основных задач копирования произведений минувших эпох является послойное «прочтение» подлинника и точное и последовательное воспроизведение каждого слоя, начиная от первой проклейки основы и заканчивая завершающими лессировками и покровным лаковым слоем. Рисунок, нанесение имприматуры, выполнение подмалевка всегда играли огромную роль во всех школах живописи, начиная со старо- фламандской и заканчивая поздней итальянской. Это была незыблемая основа живописи, необходимая самостоятельная стадия, от которой зависела успешность всей живописи целиком.

One of the main tasks of copying works of past eras is to «read» the original painting layer by layer and reproduce, as accurately and consistently as possible, each layer, starting from the first sizing of the base and ending with the final glazes and the top varnish layer. Drawing, applying imprimatura, performing liquid or impasto underpainting have always played a huge role in all schools of painting, from Old Flemish to Late Italian. This was a necessary independent stage, requiring painstaking elaboration, completeness, a stage on which the success of the entire painting depended.

Сучасні умови ринкових відносин все частіше підштовхують підприємства до переходу на новий рівень своєї діяльності. У зростаючій конкурентній боротьбі традиційних методів вже не достатньо не лише для збільшення обсягів виробництва, а й іноді навіть для забезпечення стабільного функціонування. Світовий досвід підтверджує, що ефективним рішенням є перехід до цифрової трансформації та орієнтація на віртуальне середовище. Експерти все частіше відзначають, що цифрове перетворення сільського господарства може стати наступним великим зрушенням, яке вирішить ключові завдання галузі та відповість потребам зростаючого населення. Завдяки впровадженню передових технологій цифровізації бізнес-процесів, сільськогосподарські підприємства можуть підвищувати свою конкурентоспроможність, продуктивність і стійкість вже сьогодні. Дослідження спрямоване на розгляд важливості та переваг діджиталізації у контексті управління аграрними підприємствами України, а також на виявлення потенційних шляхів її впровадження та оптимізації для досягнення стратегічних цілей агропромислового сектору. Дослідження базується на застосуванні різноманітних методів, зокрема, таких загальнонаукових та специфічних як діалектичний, табличний, графічний, абстрактно-логічний, метод порівняльного аналізу, а також підходи до узагальнення отриманих результатів. У статті розглядається важливість та переваги діджиталізації у контексті формування конкурентоспроможності аграрних підприємств. Зокрема, акцентується увага на застосуванні різноманітних цифрових інструментів та стратегій стратегічного спрямування, таких як технічна діджиталізація, розширення асортименту продукції, впровадження передових інноваційних технологій, розширення експортних можливостей тощо. У статті проаналізовано застосування цифрових технологій передовими агрохолдингами України, що допомагають їм бути більш конкурентоспроможними в умовах постійних змін. Практичне значення проведеного дослідження полягає у аналізі можливих викликів та проблем, з якими можуть зіткнутись сільськогосподарські підприємства у процесі впровадження інноваційних цифрових технологій.

Risk Scenarios and Macroeconomic Forecasts
Authors: Moran Kevin , Stevanovic Dalibor , Surprenant Stéphane
Published: May 2024

This paper discusses the usefulness of risk scenarios – forecasts conditional on specific future paths for economic variables and shocks – for monitoring the Canadian economy. To do so, we use a Vector Autoregressive (VAR) approach to produce macroeconomic forecasts conditional on four risk scenarios: high oil prices, a US recession, a tight labor market, and a restrictive monetary policy. The results show that these scenarios represent significant risk factors for the evolution of the Canadian economy. In particular, the high-oil-price scenario is beneficial for the Canadian economy, while a US recession induces a significant slowdown. The very tight labor market scenario leads to additional price increases relative to benchmark and the restrictive monetary policy scenario increases the unemployment rate while lowering the inflation rate slightly.

An Optimal Multiquadric Variable Shape Parameter for Boundary Value Problems Using Particle Swarm Optimization
Authors: Bacar Abdoulhafar Halassi , Rawhoudine Said Charriffaini
Published: May 2024

The multiquadric radial basis function method has been widely used to solve partial differential equations-based problems regarding its flexibility and meshfree characteristics. The accuracy and stability of this method are derived and based on the use of a free-shape parameter that sensibly controls the comportment of the technique. Significant improvements have already been reported and show that variable shape parameters conduct the method to handle problems with striking results compared to global-based techniques. Nevertheless, choosing a suitable set of shape parameters is still an open topic because of the complexity of the method when the number of collocation points increases. The current work proposes a variant particle swarm optimization based on local displacement with attractors to determine the multi-quadratic function's ``best'' optimal variable shape parameter in solving boundary value problems. Based on an initially random set of variable shape parameters, the proposed algorithm first performs and evaluates the errors between the expected exact solution and the approximate solution thoroughly. In the first stage, the particle swarm algorithm search for an optimal set of shape parameters that minimize the error and the conditioning number of the radial basis system matrix. In the second stage, the obtained optimal set of shape parameters is applied to solve the considered problem. In this way, when the number of collocation points increases, the first stage based on particle swarm optimization stabilizes the strategy. It proposes an ``acceptable'' set of shape parameters for the given problem. The proposed method is applied to a set of well-known boundary value problems in one and two-dimensional spaces and compared to other techniques published in the literature. The results show that the proposed method achieves more accurate solutions than recently proposed in the literature.
