Authors: Grashchenko A. S. , Kukushkin S. A. , Osipov A. V.
Published: November 2024

The review presents systematization and analysis of experimental data on nanoindentation (NI) of a whole class of new materials – wide-gap AlN, GaN, AlGaN and β-Ga2O3 heterostructures formed on a hybrid substrate of a new SiC/Si type, which were synthesized by the method of coordinated atom substitution. The deformational and mechanical properties of the investigated materials are described in detail. The methodology of the NI is described, and both advantages and disadvantages of the NI method were analyzed. The description of the apparatus to conduct the experiments on NI was given. The basic provisions of a new model for describing the deformation properties of a nanoscale rigid two-layer structure on a porous elastic base were proposed. The original method of visualization of residual (after mechanical interaction) deformation in transparent and translucent materials was described. Experimentally determined values of elastic moduli and hardness of SiC nanoscale layers on Si formed by the method of coordinated substitution on three main crystal planes of Si, namely (100), (110) and (111), and elastic moduli and characteristics (elastic modulus, hardness, strength) of surface layers of semiconductor heterostructures AlN/SiC/Si, AlGaN/SiC/Si, AlGaN/AlN/SiC/Si, GaN/SiC/Si and GaN/AlN/SiC/Si grown on SiC/Si hybrid substrates. The unique mechanical properties of a new material β-Ga2O3 formed on SiC layers grown on Si surfaces of orientations (100), (110) and (111) were described.

Authors: Karakozova A. I. , Kuznetsov S. V. , Mondrus V. L.
Published: November 2024

The recent earthquake in Turkey and Syria occurred on February 6, 2023. In the Kahramanmaras region the earthquake had an estimated magnitude of Mw7.8, and reached intensity XI by the modified Mercalli scale. The earthquake had catastrophic consequences, leading to the deaths of more than 52,800 people, as well as the multiple damages of the structures and buildings. The paper relates to the analyses of the seismograms and the detection of an unusually strong delta impulse, which can be associated with the arrival of a horizontally polarized S-wave.
Dynamic equations of acoustic wave propagation in pre-deformed materials
Authors: Markin A. A. , Sokolova M. Yu.
Published: November 2024

Two approaches to obtaining dynamic equations for the propagation of displacement small disturbances are considered. These approaches are based on the use of models of hyperelastic and hypoelastic materials. We showed that these equations are interrelated. For the case of a plane monochromatic wave, expressions of acoustic tensors are obtained.
A comparative analysis of the effect of preliminary deformations on the propagation velocity of acoustic waves in isotropic and anisotropic materials is carried out. In the model of a hypoelastic material, the acoustic tensor depends on a nonholonomic measure of finite deformations. A nonholonomic measure of deformations is defined in such a way that its first invariant does not change during shape change, and the deviator does not depend on volumetric deformations. In this regard, the use of a hypoelastic material model allows us to obtain more reliable results when calculating phase velocities in an isotropic material with preliminary deformation.

ФОРМУВАННЯ РИНКУ ПРАЦІ В УМОВАХ МІГРАЦІЇ СПРИЧИНЕНОЇ РОСІЙСЬКО-УКРАЇНСЬКОЮ ВІЙНОЮ
Authors: ПАШКЕВИЧ Єгор
Published: November 2024

У статті досліджно складний зв’язок між міграцією та ринками праці в Європі, демонструючи, як міграція має різний вплив на країни залежно від їх економічного розвитку та структури ринку праці. У країнах-реципієнтах міграція часто допомагає вирішити проблеми нестачі робочої сили, особливо в секторах з низькою кваліфікацією, але в країнах-донорах, таких як Україна, вона сприяє серйозним проблемам, таким як виснаження робочої сили та «відтік мізків». Україна, навіть до початку війни у 2022 році, стикалася з істотними труднощами на ринку праці через високий рівень еміграції, що ослаблювало її робочу силу та перешкоджало економічному зростанню. Однак війна різко загострила ці проблеми, призвівши до масового переміщення людей, різкого зростання безробіття та гострої нестачі кваліфікованих працівників.
Було проаналізовано досвід інших країн, що пережили війни, виводячи законодавчі стратегії після конфлікту, які можуть допомогти відновити ринки праці та вирішити пов’язані з міграцією проблеми. Ці приклади надають основу для пропозицій щодо кількох можливих законодавчих заходів, які Україна могла б реалізувати, таких як політики, спрямовані на залучення кваліфікованих мігрантів назад до країни, створення стимулів для створення робочих місць та зміцнення професійної підготовки, щоб задовольнити зростаючий попит на спеціалізовану робочу силу в період відновлення після війни.
Perlindungan Hak Cipta Dari Tindakan Pembajakan Software di Tinjau Dari Hukum Nasional
Authors: Delfiyanti
Published: November 2024

Perkembangan teknologi melahirkan ide-ide kreatif baru dan menciptakan sesuatu yang sebelumnya tidak pernah ada menjadi ada. Dunia digital adalah media utama untuk mewujudkannya. Setiap harinya lebih dari jutaan orang menggunakan atau log in ke internet dengan berbagai macam tujuan, mulai dari riset ilmiah sampai bermain game interaktif di cyberspaces, ataupun mulai dari perdagangan atau e-commerce sampai surfing ke situs perjudian. Dalam hal ini, terdapat instrumen hukum UU No. 28 Tahun 2014 tentang Hak Cipta yang berlaku di Indonesia dimana salah satu objek yang mendapat perlindungan hak cipta adalah program komputer dalam hal ini software.  Dengan ini dapat dikatakan bahwa rezim hak cipta mendapat tantangan baru setelah adanya internet dimana salah satunya perlindungan terhadap software ataupun program komputer. Namun pelanggaran terhadap perkembangan zaman ini juga semakin marak terjadi seiring dengan adanya internet. Software adalah suatu Program Komputer yang sering dijadikan sebagai objek pembajakan. Pembajakan software sudah lama menjadi permasalahan yang serius. Pembajakan software yang sering dilakukan yaitu terhadap media CD, Internet, bahkan tidak jarang pula dilakukan secara langsung dari komputer ke komputer lainnya dengan menggunakan kabel data. Akibatnya, Indonesia dihadapkan dengan dampak dan permasalahan pembajakan yang cukup signifikan dan dikenal baik di ranah internasional maupun di Indonesia sendiri. Pengaturan terkait dengan hak cipta melalui Undang-Undang Nomor 28 Tahun 2014 saat ini dianggap masih belum cukup tegas untuk mengatur mengenai tindakan pembajakan software. Oleh karena itu, rumusan masalah dalam penelitian ini yang di  kaji adalah : a) Bagaimana bentuk perlindungan hak cipta dari tindakan pembajakan software ditinjau dari hukum internasional b) Bagaimana pengaturan perlindungan hukum hak cipta terhadap program komputer (software) menurut Undang-Undang Nomor 28 Tahun 2014 tentang Hak Cipta dan faktor apa saja yang menjadi hambatan dalam pelaksanaannya. Sedangkan metode penelitian menggunakan penelitian normative yaitu pendekatan penelitian ini berdasarkan bahan pustaka yang merupakan data sekunder atau disebut juga sebagai Penelitian Hukum Kepustakaan. Sedangkan analisa data dilakukan secara kualitatif.
Salvaging Consciousness from the Remains of the Day: A Sartrean Analysis
Authors: Durmuş Aleyna
Published: November 2024

The article attempts to delve into Sartre’s main concepts in existential school of thought and trace their relevance in British modern-day fiction, particularly, Kazuo Ishiguro’s The Remains of the Day. The novel’s protagonist stands as the individual whose tracing of the modern dynamics is inherent in the interplay of social position and individual autonomy. The analysis seeks to underline the junction between disciplines of philosophy and literature, and notably, through Steven’s journey, to offer an interdisciplinary reading of the individual’s strife with freedom and responsibility that is emblematic of the contemporary age. The existential journey of Stevens, a devoted butler whose unshakable commitment to duty, professionalism, and the allure of the concept of dignity leads him to the exploration of self-deceit and repression of his authentic self. The title of the novel, too, captures Stevens’ struggle with his shattered sense of self and the ruins of a life given up to conform to social norms. Sartrean existentialism reveals this repression of genuine feelings and subsequent experience of emptiness. As a man deeply identified with his role, Stevens is tailor-made for this attainment and exploration of self-realization, humankind’s north pole of authenticity, as Sartrean terms, against life’s facticity. The concepts of “bad faith”, “reflective awareness”, “pre-reflective awareness”, “being-in-itself” and “being-for-itself” as well as “being-for-others” will be utilized to further trace this awakening from the clutches, and modern-day chains shackled on individual life, the exploration of the conscious self and Stevens’ consequential reclamation of the remains of the day.
Terminological Features of Studying the Language of Choreography (Based on Irish Dance Terms)
Authors: Rosyanova T. S.
Published: November 2024

Introduction. The article examines issues related to the difficulties of describing poorly ordered terminologies. Domestic terminologists traditionally include choreography terminology among such types. This terminological area provides unique material for research, since it combines verbal specialized knowledge, as well as graphic illustrative explanatory support to clarify and record the body movements of performers. In connection with the development of the anthropocentric direction in linguistics, the study of the terminology of classical choreography, as well as the terms of folk dances, provides an opportunity to comprehend the technologies of art, in which the direct relationship of emotions, movement, strength of folk character, expression of freedom and the joy of being is manifested.

   Methodology and sources. Interest in the study of the terminology of humanitarian, economic and legal disciplines has become widespread in recent decades. The changed social context and social landscape have highlighted a huge layer of terminological vocabulary that was previously not in demand for large-scale terminology research.Methods of cognitive terminology allow us to consider not only systemic phenomena in terminology, categorization and conceptualization of special knowledge, but also key concepts that develop in synchrony and diachrony. The descriptive method and the method of definitional analysis are decisive for this work. The studied English terms of Irish folk dance were obtained by continuous sampling from original literature, terminological dictionaries and glossaries.

   Results and discussion. The uniqueness of the Irish folk dance terminology nomination lies, firstly, in the use of two languages: English and Gaelic. Secondly, the spread of the Irish diaspora across different continents creates the preconditions for the development of dance schools around the world and the consolidation of this bilingual terminology. In addition, organizing certification of teachers and holding festivals and competitions at the regional and world level contributes to the standardization of not only dances, but also terms. It seems that the publication of the best examples of dance heritage and recording them for posterity helped create the characteristic performing culture that we have seen in recent decades.

   Conclusion. The relevance of the work is due to the fact that the sphere of choreographic terminology in general and the terminology of Irish folk dances is an insufficiently studied area due to objective difficulties caused by the use of a combination of verbal and non-verbal resources to characterize dance movements. In addition, the study shows that the peculiarity of the terminological nomination, which, for historical reasons, preserves the balance of two languages, gives particular specificity to the contexts in which these terminological units operate.
The Concept of Cognitive Space in the Context of Cognitive Securitology
Authors: Plebanek O. V.
Published: November 2024

Introduction. The article discusses the conceptual foundations of a new field of knowledge – cognitive securitology.

   The relevance of the study is due to the fact that the main means of cognitive warfare are modern digital technologies, while the object of influence of technical systems is mental systems, therefore there is a need to combine technical and humanitarian conceptual apparatus.

   The purpose of the article is to clarify the concept of “cognitive space” and distinguish between the concepts of information and cognitive spaces.

   Methodology and sources. One of the basic concepts of cognitive security is the concept of cognitive space, which has already been developed in linguistics, but due to the interdisciplinary nature of cognitive securitology needs to be clarified. Placing the category of cognitive space in the field of linguistic analysis narrows its content and does not make it possible to determine its semantic boundaries.

   The novelty of the analysis of the category “cognitive space” lies in the fact that the conceptual analysis of the category of cognitive space is based on the concept of self-organizing systems and the structural-functional approach.

   The concept of autopoiesis assumes that all elements and structures of the system, including cognitive ones, arise in order to ensure self-preservation, and the structural-functional approach allows us to determine the content and functions of the object.

   Results and discussion. Information space and cognitive space are intersecting but not coinciding fields, differing in their domains, but having one common task – ensuring the stability of the social system.

   Conclusion. The modern era is characterized by a global confrontation between civilizational systems and the transition of the confrontation into the phase of proxy wars, in which the main role is given to cognitive-psychological influence. Cognitive-psychological influence on the enemy is not only carried out at the preventive and preemptive stages of confrontation, but also often replaces other forms of war. Cognitive-psychological influence becomes possible and is carried out through the destruction of the cognitive space in which meanings and ideals that are specific to the social system function, which form goals and models of activity.
Aesthetics of Negative Communication: Conflicts of Journalists and Officials
Authors: Ogorodnova A. M.
Published: November 2024

Introduction. The article proposes an aesthetic aspect of describing communication between journalists and politicians. The dramaturgical, image and consumer contexts of media communication, which, in our opinion, contain an aesthetic component, are problematized. An aesthetic look at the topic traditionally attributed to political science or sociological fields of knowledge allows us to see aspects of human activity that are perhaps less noticeable, but no less influential on the reproduction of the social order.

   Methodology and sources. The analysis of the situations discussed in the article is implemented in the tradition of interpretive sociology, which considers social communication as a constitutive factor in the behavior and activities of people. The principles of dramaturgical sociology of I. Hoffmann, theoretical observations of authors working in the field of symbolic politics, conceptual reasoning set out in F. Ankersmit’s essay “Political Representation” are used, in particular the term “representation” he uses in relation to the politician.

   Results and discussion. Situations that can be classified as negative communication between journalists and politicians were selected for analysis. The latter is defined as an action that can provoke negative emotions and feelings of communication participants, and thus disorient them regarding the development and consequences of the communicative situation. The obtained research results confirm that the concept of “negative communication” allows us to capture not only the emotional mode of professional activity and interprofessional communication of politicians and journalists, but also to offer an aesthetic view of professional communication.

   Conclusion. Situational analysis of conflicts in a professional environment, implemented in the tradition of interpretive sociology, reveals their spectacularity, predicting the forms of experience, and allows us to consider them, on the one hand, as works of art, on the other, as moral stories for social education. Aesthetic political representation is the most important need of any civil society, and its implementation is inextricably linked with political education.

У статті представлені дослідження, присвячені визначенню якісного складу фенольних сполук трави зимолюбки зонтичної. Для реалізації поставленої мети застосовано метод високоефективної тонкошарової хроматографії (HPTLC), який широко використовується для фармакопейного аналізу лікарської рослинної сировини. Для дослідження використовували висушену траву зимолюбки зонтичної Chimaphila umbellata (L.) (виробник ТМ «Зелена аптека», м. Житомир). Визначення методом високоефективної тонкошарової хроматографії (ВЕТШХ) проводили за допомогою приладу CAMAG, що складається з напівавтоматичного пробовідбірника Linomat 5, камери автоматичного проявлення 2 (ADC2), нагрівача пластини TLC III і візуалізатора ТШХ, з’єднаного з програмним забезпеченням visionCATS 2.1. Використовували пластини ВЕШХ силікагель Si 60 F254, 20 х 10 cm (Merck KGaA, Дармштадт, Німеччина) та стандартні зразки хлорогенової кислоти, кавової кислоти, гіперозиду, рутину, кверцетину, авікуляріну, ізокверцетину та галової кислоти. Як рухому фазу використовували: етилацетат – мурашину кислоту – воду очищену 68 : 8 : 8, виявлення хроматографічних зон проводили, використовуючи специфічний реагент – аміноетиловий ефір дифенілборної кислоти Р та макрогол. Хроматограми переглядали в УФ-світлі за довжини хвилі 254 нм, 365 нм і під денним світлом до та після дериватизації. Порівняння зон у траві зимолюбки із зонами стандартів дало змогу припустити наявність гіперозиду (Rf 0,41), авікулярину (Rf 0,67), ізокверцетину (Rf 0,45), галової (Rf 0,81), кофейної кислот (Rf 0,87) у траві зимолюбки зонтичної. Таким чином, достатньо різноманітний вміст фенольних сполук у сировині свідчить про можливість стандартизації трави зимолюбки зонтичної за такими класами БАР, як гідроксикоричні кислоти та флавоноїди.

Published: November 2024

Background Efforts to build and foster adult social care research in England have historically encountered more challenges to its growth and expansion compared with health research, with a sector facing significant barriers in facilitating research activity due to a lack of resourcing, poor valuation or understanding of the profile of social care research. The landscape for supporting the social care workforce to use, engage in and undertake research in adult social care has been rather bleak, but in recent years there has been recognition of the need to foster a social care workforce research community. The National Institute for Health and Care Research in England have committed to investing in social care research capacity by funding six adult social care partnerships, with one based in Southeast England. Setting up Communities of Practice (COPs) offers a model to build a shared learning space to foster a social care research community. Process developing COPs: Three online networking events were held in the first year of the project to engage managers and practitioners from the local authority and from the wider adult social care sector, taking place in July and November 2021, and March 2022. Two COPs were identified, following an ordering and thematising process of feedback from the networking events, of: (a) Supporting people with complex needs throughout the lifespan, and (b) Enhancing, diversifying and sustaining the social care workforce. Whilst it would be premature to identify their long-term impacts, the COPs have provided a space for regular communication, knowledge sharing and networking between members. Conclusions The COP framework offers a collaborative approach to initiating research from the grass-roots level in adult social care. This paper focuses on how the COP model offers great promise for knowledge-exchange providing a forum to generate and disseminate knowledge around social care in two COP domains.

Purpose: To evaluate the effects of secondary pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) with autologous platelet concentrate (APC) injection in patients with a persistent macular hole that failed to close after the primary surgery.Methods: This study included 10 eyes of 10 patients who required secondary PPV and APC injection due to unsuccessful hole closure following primary macular hole surgery between February 2021 and July 2023. We measured the minimum and base diameters of the holes before primary and secondary PPV, respectively. Furthermore, we evaluated the anatomical closure of the holes and changes in best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) for 6 months following secondary PPV.Results: The mean age of the 10 patients was 61.6 ± 9.5 years. Prior to the primary PPV, the mean BCVA (LogMAR) was 1.6 ± 0.7, the mean minimum diameter of the hole was 654.4 ± 98.9 μm, and the mean base diameter of the hole was 1,135.4 ± 276.5 μm. Prior to the secondary PPV with APC injection, the mean BCVA (LogMAR) was 1.3 ± 0.7, the mean minimum diameter of the hole was 666.8 ± 270.2 μm and the mean base diameter of the hole was 845.4 ± 292.4 μm. Following secondary surgery, all holes were successfully closed, the mean BCVA (LogMAR) was 0.9 ± 0.6 and the BCVA was significantly improved (p = 0.007).Conclusions: PPV with APC injection can be an effective therapeutic option for persistent macular hole that failed to close following primary surgery both in terms of anatomical and functional outcomes.

Published: November 2024

Purpose: To compare the postoperative changes between unilateral medial rectus resection and lateral rectus recession and evaluate surgical outcomes of unilateral one-muscle surgery in basic intermittent exotropia under 25 prism diopters (PD) with a larger near than distance deviation.Methods: This study was conducted on patients with basic intermittent exotropia under 25 PD and a larger near than distance deviation. A retrospective analysis was conducted on 23 patients who underwent unilateral medial rectus resection (Group 1) and 32 patients who underwent unilateral lateral rectus recession (Group 2) as primary surgery. The angle of deviation at near and distance was measured at 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, and 1 year postoperatively. Surgical success was defined as within 4 PD of esophoria or 10 PD of exophoria at 1 year after surgery.Results: The mean preoperative deviation angle was 20.18 ± 2.55 PD for Group 1 and 19.30 ± 2.77 PD for Group 2, while the mean near-distance disparity was 6.83 ± 2.67 PD for Group 1 and 5.18 ± 1.56 PD for Group 2. At 1 year postoperatively, the mean distance deviation angle was 9.43 ± 5.82 PD for Group 1 and 5.94 ± 6.49 PD for Group 2. The mean near-distance disparity at 1 year was 0.91 ± 3.96 PD for Group 1 and 0.81 ± 2.07 PD for Group 2. The success rates at 1 year were 65.2% for Group 1 and 72.7% for Group 2 (p = 0.362). Both groups showed effective reductions in the postoperative angle of deviation and near-distance disparity with no significant difference between the groups.Conclusions: Unilateral medial rectus resection and lateral rectus recession both effectively manage basic intermittent exotropia under 25 PD with larger near than distance deviation as the primary surgery.

Authors: Kim Hyun Jung , Lee Soo Jung
Published: November 2024

Purpose: To determine if contrast sensitivity varies between alternating and monocular intermittent exotropia.Methods: The study conducted a retrospective analysis of medical records for children aged 5-9 years with intermittent exotropia who had uncorrected visual acuity of 1.0 or better, a spherical equivalent of ± 1.50 diopters (D) or less, and anisometropia of 1.00 D or less. Patients were categorized into two groups using the cover-uncover test: an alternating group without fixation preference and a monocular group with fixation preference. Contrast sensitivity tests were performed on each eye under mesopic and photopic conditions with glare. In the alternating group, eyes were classified as right or left while in the monocular group the non-deviated eye was labeled dominant and the deviated eye was non-dominant.Results: The study included 53 patients with 31 in the alternating group and 22 in the monocular group. In the alternating exotropia group, the left eye demonstrated significantly better contrast sensitivity at 1.1 cycles per degree (cpd) under mesopic conditions (p = 0.043), with no significant differences noted under other conditions. In the monocular exotropia group, dominant eyes exhibited significantly better contrast sensitivity at 10.2 cpd under mesopic conditions (p = 0.046) and at 1.1 cpd under photopic conditions (p = 0.031). No significant differences were observed in the interocular contrast sensitivity between the monocular and alternating groups across all spatial frequencies under both mesopic and photopic conditions.Conclusions: Pediatric patients with monocular intermittent exotropia displayed no significant differences in contrast sensitivity between dominant and non-dominant eyes except at certain frequencies. Additionally, there were no significant interocular contrast sensitivity differences between the monocular and alternating groups suggesting that contrast sensitivity tests may not be effective for determining the dominant eye in these conditions.

Published: November 2024

Purpose: We present a case of goniosynechiolysis in the treatment of chronic angle-closure glaucoma with persistent peripheral anterior synechia (PAS) after extracapsular cataract extraction (ECCE) for phacomorphic glaucoma that remained uncontrolled using topical glaucoma medications.Case summary: A 59-year-old woman presented with right eye pain and visual loss that started 3 days ago. Examination revealed an intraocular pressure (IOP) of 46 mmHg, a narrow central anterior chamber, and peripheral iridocorneal touch, indicative of phacomorphic glaucoma. Although ECCE was performed, PAS was not adequately resolved. Initially, visual acuity, IOP, and visual field were controlled with a single topical glaucoma medication. However, progressive retinal nerve fiber layer thinning and uncontrolled IOP, despite maximal medical therapy. Therefore, goniosynechiolysis was performed at 24 months after ECCE. The procedure reduced IOP from 25 mmHg to 13 mmHg without complications, such as hyphema, cyclodialysis, and fibrin formation.Conclusions: Goniosynechiolysis can be a safe and effective intervention for chronic angle-closure glaucoma with persistent PAS and elevated IOP.

Published: November 2024

Purpose: We present a case of central anticholinergic syndrome following the administration of atropine eye drops.Case summary: A 60-year-old male presented with decreased visual acuity in his left eye and was diagnosed with intraocular lens dislocation. Preoperatively, Isopto atropine® eye drops (1 drop at 15-minutes intervals) were used for pupil dilation. Within an hour of the first instillation, the patient exhibited drowsiness, disorientation, agitation, and urinary retention. Laboratory tests and computed tomography of the brain were unremarkable. Considering the recent administration of atropine eye drops, a diagnosis of central anticholinergic syndrome was made. The surgery was postponed and the patient recovered fully after 3 hours of observation. He remained asymptomatic during an additional day of hospitalization.Conclusions: A small dose of atropine eye drops even at a therapeutic dose can induce central anticholinergic syndrome. Therefore, ophthalmologists should be aware of this rare and severe complication.
Surgical Challenges for WIOL-CF® Dislocation without Capsular Bag Complex after Trauma: A Case Report
Authors: Choi Ye Rim , Kim Jun O , Choi Kyung Seek
Published: November 2024

Purpose: To present a case of post-traumatic dislocation of the WIOL-CF® accommodating intraocular lens (IOL), composed of hydrogel material and featuring a full-optic body design, in a vitrectomized eye, highlighting considerations for surgical correction.Case summary: A 54-year-old man with a history of left-eye WIOL-CF® implantation and vitrectomy experienced sudden onset of vision deterioration in the left eye following trauma. The IOL was dislocated due to posterior capsule rupture, with the anterior capsulorhexis margin intact. The support-less circular design and material properties made it challenging to grasp the dislocated IOL in one attempt, and there was a risk of tearing when using intraocular forceps and an extrusion needle.Conclusions: The case of WIOL-CF® dislocation without the capsular bag emphasizes the importance of considering the structural vulnerability and propensity for fragmentation of the IOL during removal. Adequate corneal incision size, active utilization of perfluorocarbon liquid to approximate the IOL to the anterior chamber, and gentle removal in one attempt without applying excessive force are crucial steps in the removal of a dislocated IOL.

Published: November 2024

Purpose: To report a case of paraneoplastic autoimmune retinopathy in a patient with a history of testicular cancer.Case summary: A 29-year-old man presented with photopsia and floaters. Initial fundus examination revealed no abnormal findings. However, he returned 1 month later with complaints of visual field defects. Fundus examination revealed diffuse white spots in the macula and midperipheral retina and fundus autofluorescence demonstrated hyper-autofluorescence. Optical coherence tomography showed disruption of the ellipsoid zone sparing the fovea. Visual field examination revealed peripheral visual field defects and an electroretinogram showed reduced rod and cone cell responses. Considering his history of testicular cancer, serum paraneoplastic autoantibody panel testing was performed which revealed borderline levels of anti-recoverin antibody leading to a diagnosis of paraneoplastic autoimmune retinopathy. The patient was treated with oral steroids and mycophenolate mofetil for 1 year. However, there was no improvement in the subjective symptoms or ophthalmologic findings.Conclusions: This case of paraneoplastic autoimmune retinopathy in a young man with a history of testicular cancer highlights an early clinical presentation of the disease. It is crucial to recognize that the initial clinical presentation of autoimmune retinopathy can be nonspecific.

Published: November 2024

Purpose: This study aimed to compare cognitive, non-cognitive, and overall learning outcomes for sepsis and trauma resuscitation skills in novices with virtual patient simulation (VPS) versus in-person simulation (IPS).Methods: A randomized controlled trial was conducted on junior doctors in 1 emergency department from January to December 2022, comparing 70 minutes of VPS (n=19) versus IPS (n=21) in sepsis and trauma resuscitation. Using the nominal group technique, we created skills assessment checklists and determined Bloom’s taxonomy domains for each checklist item. Two blinded raters observed participants leading 1 sepsis and 1 trauma resuscitation simulation. Satisfaction was measured using the Student Satisfaction with Learning Scale (SSLS). The SSLS and checklist scores were analyzed using the Wilcoxon rank sum test and 2-tailed t-test respectively.Results: For sepsis, there was no significant difference between VPS and IPS in overall scores (2.0; 95% confidence interval [CI], -1.4 to 5.4; Cohen’s d=0.38), as well as in items that were cognitive (1.1; 95% CI, -1.5 to 3.7) and not only cognitive (0.9; 95% CI, -0.4 to 2.2). Likewise, for trauma, there was no significant difference in overall scores (-0.9; 95% CI, -4.1 to 2.3; Cohen’s d=0.19), as well as in items that were cognitive (-0.3; 95% CI, -2.8 to 2.1) and not only cognitive (-0.6; 95% CI, -2.4 to 1.3). The median SSLS scores were lower with VPS than with IPS (-3.0; 95% CI, -1.0 to -5.0).Conclusion: For novices, there were no major differences in overall and non-cognitive learning outcomes for sepsis and trauma resuscitation between VPS and IPS. Learners were more satisfied with IPS than with VPS (clinicaltrials.gov identifier: NCT05201950).

Published: November 2024

Purpose: This study evaluates the use of ChatGPT-4o in creating tailored continuing professional development (CPD) plans for radiography students, addressing the challenge of aligning CPD with Medical Radiation Practice Board of Australia (MRPBA) requirements. We hypothesized that ChatGPT-4o could support students in CPD planning while meeting regulatory standards.Methods: A descriptive, experimental design was used to generate 3 unique CPD plans using ChatGPT-4o, each tailored to hypothetical graduate radiographers in varied clinical settings. Each plan followed MRPBA guidelines, focusing on computed tomography specialization by the second year. Three MRPBA-registered academics assessed the plans using criteria of appropriateness, timeliness, relevance, reflection, and completeness from October 2024 to November 2024. Ratings underwent analysis using the Friedman test and intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) to measure consistency among evaluators.Results: ChatGPT-4o generated CPD plans generally adhered to regulatory standards across scenarios. The Friedman test indicated no significant differences among raters (P=0.420, 0.761, and 0.807 for each scenario), suggesting consistent scores within scenarios. However, ICC values were low (–0.96, 0.41, and 0.058 for scenarios 1, 2, and 3), revealing variability among raters, particularly in timeliness and completeness criteria, suggesting limitations in the ChatGPT-4o’s ability to address individualized and context-specific needs.Conclusion: ChatGPT-4o demonstrates the potential to ease the cognitive demands of CPD planning, offering structured support in CPD development. However, human oversight remains essential to ensure plans are contextually relevant and deeply reflective. Future research should focus on enhancing artificial intelligence’s personalization for CPD evaluation, highlighting ChatGPT-4o’s potential and limitations as a tool in professional education.
