Hypoglycemia in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients — cerebral, cognitive, psychosocial and clinical aspects
Authors: Antonova K. V. , Lagoda O. V. , Tanashyan M. M.
Published: July 2022

The review article describes modern approaches to hypoglycemia in diabetes mellitus (DM) patients, its clinical and laboratory diagnostics, and its current classification. Hypoglycemia has the highest impact on cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, including stroke. Cerebral damage in neuroglycopenia, as well as neurological aspects in this group of patients, are discussed. The authors describe glycopenia’s influence on cerebral metabolism, counter-regulatory response, and impaired hypoglycemia recognition, as well as modern neuroimaging techniques that may enhance differential diagnostics in complex cases. The epidemiology of neurocognitive disorders in DM patients and their association with hypoglycemic conditions is outlined, together with psychosocial aspects of its consequences — both for the patient and relatives and for the medical professionals. The search for ways to reduce the burden of hypoglycemia from the standpoint of an effective and safe strategy for treating patients with type 2 diabetes does not lose its relevance, and therefore data on the prevalence of hypoglycemic conditions of varying severity when using certain classes of hypoglycemic drugs are presented. A therapeutic approach that maximizes metabolic control while reducing hypoglycemia to a minimum may determine further possibilities for personalized DM management.
Efficacy and safety of oral semaglutide in Russian patients with type 2 diabetes: subgroup analysis of PIONEER 1, 2, 3 trials
Authors: Shamkhalova M. Sh. , Shestakova M. V.
Published: July 2022

INTRODUCTION. Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RA) are the treatment options with comprehensive action on different aspects of type 2 diabetes. Due to its peptide nature GLP-1 RAs, until recent time the delivery of these agents into patients’ organism was via injectable devices. In 2019, the first time in history oral semaglutide was registered based on the results of PIONEER clinical trial program, since 2021 this drug is available in Russia. However, the pathophysiology of type 2 diabetes and local treatment approaches may differ in different populations; this can lead to the differences in the efficacy and safety of newly registered drug. Therefore, it is necessary to evaluate the response in different populations. In this paper we report the result of subanalysis of efficacy and safety of oral semaglutide in Russian patients.

OBJECTIVE. The aim of this analysis is to evaluate efficacy and safety of oral semaglutide in Russian patients, who participated in semaglutide clinical development program, as well as to evaluate consistency and applicability of the results obtained from global population in that program.

MATERIALS AND METHODS. Patients from PIONEER 1, 2, 3 were included in the analysis: 150 patients from Russian, 1956 — the rest patients from these trials. Reductions in HbA1c and body weight were analyzed in both cohorts, and treatment differences were tested for interaction. Similarly, the rate of adverse events was analyzed.

RESULTS. Reduction in HbA1c in oral semaglutide arms in both cohorts showed numerically similar and consistent result. Interaction test showed statistical difference in PIONEER 1 data (p=0.0268) — the effect was due to diminishing influence of substantial response in placebo arm in Russian cohort. In longer-term trials (PIONEER 2 and 3) this finding was not confirmed (p=0.7459 and p=0.4906, respectively). In regard to body weight reduction there were more numerically pronounced results in Russian cohort compared to global population; although statistical significance were not reached in any of the trial (p>0.05). There was lower rate of reported adverse events in Russian patients compared to the rest cohort.

CONCLUSION. This analysis showed similar efficacy and safety of oral semaglutide in Russian patients compared to global population of patients from clinical program.

Impact of eccentricity and depth-to-breadth ratio on the behavior of skirt foundation rested on dry gypseous soil
Authors: Abd-Alhameed Hind Jamal , Albusoda Bushra Suhale
Published: July 2022

Gypseous soils are considered one of the most problematic soils. The skirted foundation is an alternative technology that works to improve the bearing capacity and reduce settlement. This paper investigates the use of square skirted foundations resting on gypseous soil subjected to concentric and eccentric vertical load with eccentricity values of 4, 8, and 17 mm in 16 experimental model tests. To obtain the results by using this type of foundation, a small-scale physical model was designed to obtain the load–settlement behavior of the square skirted foundation; the dimension of the square footing is 100 mm × 100 mm with 1 mm thickness, the skirt depth (Ds) was 0.5, 1, and 1.5B(whereBis the footing width). The footing rests on dry gypseous soil with a relative density of 33%. The tests show that the gypsum content of the soil is 59%. The result shows that the highest bearing capacity for the square shape footing withDs/B= 1.5 subjected to concentric load results in an improvement ratio of 190%. For the eccentric load, withDs/B = 1.5, the increase in bearing capacity is about 120% ate= 8 mm when compared with using a foundation without a skirt.
Homerus sceptra potitus (Lucr. 3,1037–1038). De rerum natura als Hinführung zur Homerlektüre?
Authors: Weber Dorothea
Published: July 2022

De rerum natura displays a particular closeness to the Homeric epics on various levels: in language, in arguments, and in the selection of examples. This closeness clearly goes beyond similarities arising from the affinity as determined by genre. Further, a couple of passages are veritable translations from the Iliad resp. the Odyssey. There, the attitude towards the pretext becomes especially clear. It ranges from acknowledgement to rejection and in some instances is brought about through the use of allegory. This attitude of criticism and affinity at the same time can be observed in two passages of De rerum natura that are prominent due to their position: the beginning and the end allude to the plot of the Iliad. This should be read as an indication that Lucretius understood his didactic poem as an invitation to read the Homeric epics philosophically.
Schulübungen oder Kalenderblätter? Zur Interpretation einer Gruppe spätantiker Kulthymnen in der Appendix Claudianea
Authors: Bauer Martin M.
Published: July 2022

Until now, the short cult hymns to Liber, Mars and Juno in the Appendix Claudianea have mostly been seen as rhetorical school exercises. Yet a philological-historical analysis shows that they could be remains of occasional poetry from everyday life. The hymns are structured according to the Roman festival calendar and, on the basis of language and content, should probably be dated to the final phase of public non-Christian cult practice in the fourth century. The anonymous poet was familiar with classical Greek and Latin poetry, but reveals weaknesses in Latin prosody and metre. It can therefore be supposed that he should be identified as one of the many Graeco-Egyptian ‘wandering poets’, but probably not as Claudian himself.

Baur, DA, Johnson, JB, Giron-Molina, LG, Caterisano, M, Shaner, C, Caterisano, A, and Gentry, M. Career-best changes in body mass and physical fitness test performance among Division 1 college football players encompassing 28 years at the same institution. J Strength Cond Res XX(X): 000–000, 2022—Understanding typical changes induced by collegiate American football strength and conditioning programs is essential for optimizing program design and athletic development. The purpose of the study was to evaluate body mass and physical fitness test performance changes at a Division 1 program with 28 years of coaching stability. Initial and personal record results were collected from 1,102 players who were subdivided into 3 position groups: combination players (COMBO), skill players (SKILL), and line of scrimmage players. Players followed a linear periodized training program with biannual body mass and performance testing. Tested variables included body mass, strength (bench press, back squat, and front squat), impulse (power clean, push jerk, and vertical jump [VJ]), and speed/agility (10-yard dash [10YD], 40-yard dash, and 20-yard shuttle). The fixed effect of time and position group on the dependent variables was assessed using linear mixed models. If appropriate, post hoc tests using the estimated marginal means were used to evaluate the source of any significant effects. Significance was accepted as p < 0.05. Normative values were produced by descriptive statistics (i.e., weighted means). All players and position groups increased/improved across all tested variables (p < 0.05). Improvements were 8.2%, 11.9–18.3%, 13.5–17.5%, and 3.6–6.0% for body mass, strength, impulse, and speed/agility, respectively. Line of scrimmage improvements were absolutely larger across most tested variables and relatively larger for back squat, VJ, and 10YD vs. SKILL and with VJ vs. COMBO/SKILL (p < 0.05). These results reveal typical expectations for 4–5 years performance improvements and that position group differences in trainability may influence game readiness and training needs.
Gubernaculum and Epididymo-Testicular Descent: Review of the Literature
Authors: Ivanova Eleonora , Vincel Beata , Verkauskas Gilvydas , Hadziselimovic Faruk
Published: July 2022

Cryptorchidism is a common disorder in boys that has been widely studied both experimentally and clinically. The role of the gubernaculum, a mesenchymal tissue extending from the fetal testis and epididymis to the developing scrotum, is still unclear. Even the name is debated: ‘gubernaculum epididymis’ or ‘gubernaculum testis’. This review does not aim to provide a global overview of competing theories on testicular descent, but focuses on the role of the gubernaculum in epididymo-testicular descent. We identified four major pitfalls of gubernaculum research: the role of the gubernaculum, of insulin-like peptide 3, anti-Müllerian hormone, and androgens. The major critical issues were that the gubernaculum plays a guiding role for the epididymis, descending prior to the testis and expanding the inguinal canal; insulin-like peptide 3 is not as important for the process of descent in humans as the rate of insulin-like peptide 3 mutations is low; anti-Müllerian hormone plays no significant role in epididymo-testicular descent; androgens and gonadotropins play a crucial role in epididymo-testicular descent. The role of the epididymis in the complex process of gubernaculum, epididymis, and testis migration is underestimated and should be included in future research.

In the article presented results reveal dimensions of infl uence of art education on the reduction of fatigue in patients with MS. Personal motivation for active participant in social life could be promoted by optimizing common art education activities that have signifi cant impact on reduction of fatigue signs. All too often, problems of fatigue in MS fi rst of all are similar to somatic and neurological problems, but from the point of view of social paradigm – person’s fatigue problems deal with effective social participation and social involvement. Fatigue as a certain person’s inwardly status is closely connected with emotional self-feeling and hopefully could be managed applying art education. Subjective understanding of signs of fatigue and its management reveals ways of specifi c educational activities of adults with MS that are directly pointed to the reducing sense of fatigue and increasing quality of social participation.

Aspects of life quality of persons with physical disabilities
Authors: Mockevičienė Daiva , Savenkovienė Agnė
Published: July 2022

The article presents the problems of the involvement of persons with disability into applied physical activity, indicators of physical activeness, life satisfaction and attitude towards one’s disability. In the research the indicators of life quality of persons with physical disability who are involved in sports activities and who are not involved in sports activities have been compared. 111 persons with physical disability who have experienced traumas of spinal cord participated in the research. The results of the questionnaire survey have shown that the respondents with physical disability who go in for sports feel bigger life satisfaction, assess their psychical health more favourably than those who are not involved in sports. The attitude towards one’s disability among persons with disability who are involved in sports is much more favourable than among those who are not. Persons with disability who are involved in physical and sport activity tend to rely more on their strengths even when favourable conditions are not created for them. Meanwhile, the unadjusted environment more often hinders the respondents not involved in sports from feeling like an able person of full value. The indicators of life satisfaction and attitude towards one’s disability among persons with disability who participate in sport activity are better than among those who do not participate.

Authors: Acus Arūnas
Published: July 2022

In this article the author analyzes the expression of the prostitution phenomenon in the context of the development of consumer society, evaluating the situation of Lithuania in 1990-2010. As prostitution is explained in various theoretical contexts, the distinct adepts of the theoretical perspectives, preserving the inner logic of arguments, represent very diverse explanations of the phenomenon of the prostitution. This article introduces the sociological discourse of the phenomenon of the prostitution; the methodological approach is supported by the theoretical insights of Davis (1994), Giddens (2005), Rubavičius (2010), Pruskus (2010), Norkus (2008). The historical evaluation of the phenomenon of the prostitution and the analysis of the development of the legal basis, which discloses the social-legal construct of the phenomenon of the prostitution in the process of the society, socio-cultural and economical development, the entrenchment arguments of the consumer society in justice are also represented in the article.

Article presents the theoretical understanding of usage of evidence-based practices in disability service promoting the most effective of practices. The details of identifying, promoting, and implementing EBPs involve a plethora of potentially problematic issues. Detail discussed purports of quality and quantity of the research describes wide application fi eld of EBP. Criterion-based frameworks for determining effective or evidence-based practices could be used as a practical guide in disability services. The essential steps in determining whether a practiceis evidence-based seem to be (a) locating the high quality, experimental research that examines the effectiveness of the practice and then (b) determining whether suffi cient quantity of evidence showing that the practice causes improved outcomes exists are discussed as well.

Parents’ and teachers’ attitude to family planning of adolescents with mild intellectual disabilities in the context of conceptions of gender and sexuality
Authors: Povilaitienė Neringa , Radzevičienė Liuda
Published: July 2022

There are quite many discussions in society on the issues of disabled people’s socialisation and integration. However, formation of disabled pupils’ gender identity, their gender, sexuality and family planning has not been suffi ciently analysed. The article aims to fi nd out how participants of the educational process (parents and teachers of adolescents with mild intellectual disabilities) treat conceptions of “gender” and “sexuality” and aspects of the dominating attitude to family planning and fertility of pupils with mild intellectual disabilities. It was found out in the research that a considerable share of parents/foster parents did not speak with their children about the future family, and many teachers expressed their negative attitude towards family planning of pupils with mild intellectual disabilities. However, there is also a different dominating opinion about family planning of these pupils in the context of sexuality and gender conceptions. Teachers note that these pupils must receive support in the formation of family relationships, while parents/foster parents seek to render aspects of a successful marriage.

Authors: Aleknavičiūtė-Ablonskė Vaida , Skurvydas Albertas
Published: July 2022

Achilles tendon is the strongest tendon in human body, but despite that, it is also one of the common ruptured tendons. When the Achilles tendon rupture (ATR) occurs, strength of calf muscles, proprioception, and postural stability always decrease. It is well known that rehabilitation infuences the greater recovery after Achilles tendon rupture, but despite that the probability of the Achilles tendon re-rupture one year follow up still remains. Therefore, it is very important to understand the ruptured Achilles tendon and calf muscles healing possibilities not only after applied physiotherapy, but also one year follow up. During the present longitudinal research calf muscles strength and proprioception changes of a healthy person and a person with ATR were examined.

Authors: Lambert Matthew C. , Nordness Philip D. , Epstein Michael H.
Published: July 2022

Internationally there has been increased recognition of the value of strength based assessment in educational and mental health service delivery. While there are a number of informal methods for determining a child’s strengths and assets, there are few standardized strength based assessments available for international use. In this study the teacher version of the Behavioral and Emotional Rating Scale-Second Edition (BERS-2) was translated into Lithuanian to determine its factor structure for use in Lithuania. The results suggest that the Lithuanian BERS-2 can be a useful strength based assessment for teachers and schools in Lithuania.

Authors: Mooney Paul , McCarter Kevin S. , Russo Robert J. , Blackwood Danielle L.
Published: July 2022

Research questions addressed the structure of an online form of content-focused general outcome measurement known as critical content monitoring. The assessment tool is designed to serve as an accurate and efficient measure learning performance and progress in science and social studies classes. Scores from single administrations of critical content monitoring probes that varied in content and length were correlated with results from a statewide accountability content test for a sample of American fifth-grade students. The magnitude of correlation was moderate for probes that included a single content (i.e., social studies) or a mix of two subjects (i.e., social studies and science). Comparable correlations were reported for probes that featured reduced time or increased questions. Limitations and research implications are discussed.

Authors: Serdiuk Liudmyla , Penkova Olena
Published: July 2022

The article discusses psychological principles of integrated organization of a self-improvement phenomenon. It was determined that self-improvement as a self-determined phenomenon is conditioned and mediated by a set of interconnected personal characteristics, including the value of self-development, integrity of life course perception, self-acceptance and so on. The article reveals structural characteristics of self-improvement as a self-determined system, the basic parameters of which include the value of self-improvement, self-efficacy and personal autonomy. Expediency was justified of an integrated study of objective laws of a self-improvement process through personal and value-semantic mediation. An important factor of self-improvement is a need for self-fulfilment that actualizes person’s potential abilities, supports internal state of tension, is the source of activity and self-activity, has a social character (social status achieving), can be formed purposefully during mastering of any activity.
COVID-19 e necropolítica no Distrito Federal no período de fevereiro de 2020 a junho de 2021
Authors: Xavier de Araujo Cruz Viviane , Leandro Eichler Marcelo
Published: July 2022

Aborda-se, neste trabalho, um momento crítico da pandemia de COVID-19, em que milhões de pessoas morriam e ainda não havia vacinação ou, em seguida, havia poucas pessoas vacinadas. Ademais, meio à preocupação mundial com a propagação do vírus, o Brasil tornava-se em 2020 e 2021 o epicentro da pandemia. No entanto, apesar de especialistas do mundo inteiro recomendarem, entre outras medidas, o isolamento social para conter o avanço do vírus enquanto não havia uma vacinação em massa, o Presidente Bolsonaro declarou-se, desde o início, contrário ao modelo de distanciamento, com o argumento de que, sem trabalhar, muitas pessoas morreriam de fome. Ante o exposto, o objetivo geral deste trabalho foi analisar a possível contradição entre o Estado enquanto garantidor do direito à vida e à saúde (conforme a Constituição Federal de 1988) e o modelo de governo neoliberal que resultou em uma diferença na dinâmica de propagação do vírus entre ricos e pobres, estudando o caso específico do Distrito Federal. A partir da análise de dados epidemiológicos, relacionando-os com aspectos socioeconômicos, observou-se um neoliberalismo necropolítico, em que a classe C é a que mais morre da doença, e pobres, negros e moradores de periferia são os que, se infectados, têm mais chances de morrer.

The second life of coffee can be even more energizing: Circularity of materials for bio-based electrochemical energy storage devices
Authors: Stufano Paolo , Perrotta Alberto , Labarile Rossella , Trotta Massimo
Published: July 2022

Coffee is among the most drunk beverages in the world and its consumption produces massive amounts of waste. Valorization strategies of coffee wastes include production of carbon materials for electrochemical energy storage devices such as batteries, supercapacitors, and fuel cells.

Coffee is one of the most consumed beverages in the world. In the linear model adopted so far, its consumption is associated with huge amounts of waste and spent coffee grounds. These wastes, instead, are very interesting secondary raw materials for several circular economy concepts. Nano-structured porous carbon materials obtained by coffee waste are emerging as active materials for electrochemical energy storage devices like supercapacitors and batteries. The major results achieved in the last decade in this high-value exploitation strategy of coffee wastes are summarized to suggest a new sustainable use of coffee waste in the empowerment of the ongoing transition toward a green, electrified, and happier coffee-drinking society.

‘Collapsed arches’, ‘ripped plantar fasciae’, and ‘heel spurs’: The painful language of plantar heel pain
Authors: McGrath Ryan L. , Murray Alexander W. , Maw Rebecca A. , Searle Daniel J.
Published: July 2022

The words spoken by clinicians can profoundly impact a person’s preception of their body. Words may influence pain, as pain is a measure of perceived threat. Words such as tear, rupture, degeneration, instability, and damage may increase perceived threat. Similarly, pathologising ‘abnormal’ anatomical variation may leave people feeling vulnerable and fragile. This article aimed to explore the potential consequences of particular words and narratives commonly used to describe plantar heel pain and justify interventions used to treat plantar heel pain. Drawing on the existing body of pain-science research, the authors argue that some of the language and narratives used in the literature and practice may potentially be threat invoking/nocebic. In addition, we argue that justifying interventions such as orthoses by stating that they normalise foot function may leave patients feeling broken, deficient, and abnormal. In response, we provide several recommendations for clinicians to help them avoid invoking threat when describing plantar heel pain and justifying interventions for it.
Perceptions of Pasifika caregivers on a Pacific community playgroup and implications for paediatric physiotherapists
Authors: Drysdale Duncan , Carrington Lizz , Sanerivi Oka , Smith Donna , Perry Meredith
Published: July 2022

Inadequate cultural consideration in healthcare access and provision is one factor that contributes to health inequities for Pasifika in Aotearoa New Zealand. Creating a culturally responsive environment for Pasifika is a key consideration for physiotherapists as required by the Physiotherapy Board of New Zealand cultural competence standards. Cultural community groups, supported by healthcare professionals, may foster the relationship between health providers and Pasifika by creating safe, mana enhancing accessible/alternative health spaces. However, there is limited evidence exploring Pasifika’s perceptions of what is culturally important in healthcare supported community groups in Aotearoa New Zealand. Semi-structured interviews using Talanoa dialogue were conducted in a health professional supported Pacific community playgroup in the Otago region, Aotearoa New Zealand, and data were analysed using a General Inductive Approach. One overarching theme of a ‘sense of belonging’ and of feeling connected to the Pasifika culture was determined. The community playgroup provides a safe environment where members of the Pacific Trust Otago can come together in a culturally meaningful way. Talanoa communication facilitates collaboration and co-design of a culturally responsive community group and is made possible through built relationships. This information may be used to foster the co-design of other healthcare supported community environments, strengthening trust and communication between Pasifika and healthcare providers.
Rotator cuff related shoulder pain: An update of potential pathoaetiological factors
Authors: Lo Chi Ngai , Van Griensven Hubert , Lewis Jeremy
Published: July 2022

Rotator cuff related shoulder pain (RCRSP) was a term proposed to replace scientifically outdated and potentially flawed diagnoses such as subacromial impingement syndrome, as well as uncertain pathoanatomical diagnoses such as rotator cuff tendinitis/tendinosis, and partial thickness and full thickness rotator cuff tears. RCRSP refers to the muscles, tendons, and surrounding structures, such as bursa, bone, ligament, capsule, nerve, and vascular tissue related to the entirety of the rotator cuff of the shoulder. It also recognises the complexity of evolving pain science. The term RCRSP acknowledges that the basis for presenting symptoms is mostly indeterminable and is used when a collection of clinical symptoms is present. RCRSP is probably the most common musculoskeletal shoulder condition and manifests as shoulder pain and weakness, most commonly during shoulder elevation and external rotation. Another important feature suggestive of RCRSP is a history of increased physiological load preceding the onset of symptoms, or a decreased ability to deal with physiological load due to lifestyle factors such as poor sleep, stress, reduced physical activity, uptake in or increased smoking, and poor nutrition. The aim of this narrative review is to discuss possible intrinsic (internal), extrinsic (external), and combined (intrinsic and extrinsic) mechanisms that may contribute to RCRSP. Our synthesis does not find definitive evidence for an extrinsic or combined extrinsic and intrinsic mechanism(s) that results in or is associated with RCRSP.

Authors: Terrens Aan Fleur , Soh Sze-Ee , Morgan Prue
Published: July 2022

Little is known about the use of aquatic physiotherapy for people with Parkinson’s disease (PD). Recent systematic reviews indicate that aquatic physiotherpay has a postive impact on mobility, balance, and quality of life. This study aims to explore current practice in aquatic physiotherapy and identify barriers and enablers to using aquatic physiotherapy from a physiotherapist’s perspective. Physiotherapists currently treating people with PD were invited to complete an online survey. Potential differences in levels of confidence treating people with PD, or using aquatic physiotherapy, with years practising were explored. Free-text responses were thematically categorised. One hundred and thirteen physiotherapists completed the survey. The majority were aged 30–39 years (37%), practising in Australia (86%) and over half (56%) had been practising for > 11 years. One third used aquatic physiotherapy in PD. There was no difference in confidence levels among participants who used aquatic physiotherapy for people with PD, relative to the number of years they had practised (p = 0.13). An increased falls risk and medical fragility were reported as challenges in the aquatic environment. Overall, aquatic physiotherapy is not commonly utilised for people with PD, with therapist, environmental, and participant challenges identified. Updating clinical practice guidelines and ensuring therapist education may enhance uptake of aquatic physiotherapy for PD.
A purinergic call to arms from dying brown adipocytes

Brown adipocytes react to temperature and nutritional challenges by ramping up their metabolism and generating heat. This adaptation to changes in the environment is crucial for defending organismal homeostasis, but is impaired in obesity and during aging. Writing in Nature, Niemann et al. show that brown adipocytes become apoptotic under thermoneutral conditions and release ATP, which in turn is converted extracellularly into inosine. They further present evidence that pharmacological and genetic manipulations that enhance signalling of this purine metabolite stimulates thermogenesis in brown adipocytes and promotes metabolic health.

Relevance. The processes of regionalization and localization are currently intensifying in the Siberian macro-region, where local markets act as drivers of socio-economic development. We associate their development with the diversification of the sectoral structure. Nevertheless, the demographic conditions contribute to the growth of spatial concentration, which affects the sustainability of the housing construction structure and negatively affects the housing market. Research objective. This study aims to analyze the economic consequences of the diversification-related processes and the degree of the spatial concentration of these effects in Siberian regions. Data and methods. The study relies on official databases for the calculation of the Herfindahl-Hirschmann and Gini-Struck coefficients. Econometric analysis was conducted with the help of E-Views software. Results. The concentration phenomenon in housing construction becomes indirectly dependent on regional diversification of the urban and rural housing stock, with an intense and natural correlation for the urban housing stock, which is stronger than in the case of the rural housing stock. The multifactorial model of concentration in housing construction indirectly depends on the combined regional diversification of incomes and population and the urban or rural stock. Conclusions. The evolution of the Siberian macro-region is shaped by the increasing urbanization and localization processes, which exacerbate the insufficient level of diversification. These factors are detrimental to the development of the local markets of resources; they have a negative effect on the rate of housing construction and on the supply in the housing market.
Old Testament Names in the Text of the Ladder of John Climacus
Authors:   Immanuel Kant Baltic Federal University, Popova Tatiana G.
Published: July 2022

The paper explores twenty-one Old Testament names found in the text of the translated monument of early Slavic writing, the Ladder of John Climacus. These personal names are a special kind of biblical quotations referring to the events of the Holy History. The study builds on a comparative analysis of the Greek text of the Ladder according to the publication in Patrologia Graeca (Vol. 88) and the text of the oldest Russian manuscript of the 12th century. The author looks to identify various strategies of delivering biblical citations used by the author, translator and scribe of the book, which is explained by the absence of the canonical text of the Holy Scriptures and the long history of existence of the Ladder in Byzantine and Slavic book literature. The article follows research on the collective church memory of medieval scribes which manifests itself in the commonality of topics, images, plots, ideas, and expressions that go back to the text of the Bible. The novelty of the work lies in incorporating new linguistic material extracted both from the text published in Patrologia Graeca and from the texts of unpublished Byzantine and Slavic codes. Personal names found in the Greek text of the Ladder (Jacob, Moses, David, Job, Lot, Adam) allude to key symbolic images and reveal several functions of the Old Testament anthroponyms in the Ladder texts: referential, symbolic, emphatic and indexical. Observations on the text of the translation evidenced to the high skill and erudition of the author of the first Slavic translation but at the same time revealed a translation error (new Adam), which was obviously caused by illegible or incorrect reading in the Greek version used as a source text for the translation. Contrastingly, the Russian manuscript under study showcases spelling inconsistencies in relation to Old Testament names as well as multiple errors and omissions of the names of characters. These are the result of multiple copies of the book made by inattentive and inexperienced scribes, one of whom was the scribe of the oldest surviving manuscript of the Ladder, created two centuries after the first translation appeared.

Objective. The spectrum of EEG abnormalities in the disconnected hemisphere in seizure‐free patients after hemispherectomy has not been well characterized.

Methods. Fifty consecutive patients who were seizure‐free following hemispheric disconnection were identified. Data on preoperative clinical, EEG and neuroimaging findings and postoperative EEG findings and antiseizure medication status were collected.

Results. Forty‐seven patients (94%) had functional hemispherectomy, and three (6%) had more extensive tissue resection of the posterior quadrant or frontal region along with hemispheric disconnection. Etiologies included: residual effects from vascular lesions including perinatal stroke in 35 patients, Rasmussen encephalitis in six, malformation of cortical development in seven, and Sturge‐Weber syndrome in two. Pre‐operative EEG showed focal epileptiform discharges in the affected hemisphere in 26 patients and in both hemispheres in 19. Eleven patients had diffuse bisynchronous epileptiform discharges. Postoperative EEGs at six to 12 months after surgery showed slowing and attenuation of physiological rhythms on the operated side in all patients. Thirty‐four patients (68%) had epileptiform discharges exclusively from the operated hemisphere, six (12%) had bilateral independent epileptiform discharges, nine (18%) had no epileptiform discharges on either side, and one (2%) had epileptiform discharges from the contralateral hemisphere only. Lateralized periodic discharges from the operated hemisphere were noted in three patients (6%). EEG seizures from the operated hemisphere without clinical signs were noted in four patients (8%). After a median follow‐up of three years, 30 patients (60%) were off all antiseizure medications, including 8/9 (89%) patients with no epileptiform discharges, 20/34 (59%) patients with postoperative epileptiform discharges from the operated hemisphere, and 2/7 (28%) patients with contralateral discharges.

Significance. The majority of patients who are seizure‐free after disconnective hemispherectomy will continue to show epileptiform discharges in the operated hemisphere. The presence of such discharges should not preclude tapering, nor prompt restarting of antiseizure medication in seizure‐free patients.

THE CONSTITUTIONALISATION OF LABOUR LAW: NO PLACE FOR A SUPERIOR LABOUR APPEAL COURT IN LABOUR MATTERS (PART 2): EROSION OF THE LABOUR COURT’S JURISDICTION
Authors: Stefan van Eck
Published: July 2022

In Part 1 of this article the reasons for the establishment of specialist labour courts were explored, and the stages of development of the former industrial, and present labour courts were considered. However, as already pointed out, the drafters of the Constitution and the Labour Relations Act of 1995 (the “LRA”) had different goals in mind when creating the overall scheme of the courts respectively responsible for the adjudication of civil and constitutional matters and those in relation to labour matters.Ultimately, this prepared fertile ground for the superior courts to clash over the ultimate power to consider appeals in labour matters. Part 2 of this article explores the development of jurisprudence after the inception of the Constitution, which illustrates the gradual erosion of the Labour Appeal Court’s status in labour-related matters to the point where there is no logical reason for its continued existence.
