Authors: Bulut Bekir , Yarar Ali Erkam
Published: December 2024

Son yıllarda yapay zeka (Artifical Intellegence-AI) ve uygulamalarının kullanımı yaygınlaşmakta ve gelişimini her geçen gün artırarak sürdürmektedir. Yapay zeka ve uygulamalarının gelişimine bağlı olarak reklamcılık alanında kullanılması tüketici içgörülerini yakalama, medya planlama ve satın alma, reklamın etkinliğini ölçme, yeni reklamların tasarlanması, hedef kitleye ulaşma ve kişiselleştirme açısından kolaylıklar sağlamaktadır. Hedef kitleye ulaşmada yapay zeka, elde ettiği verileri derinlemesine analiz ederek tüketici davranışlarını, demografik bilgileri, çevresel faktörleri analiz eder ve reklamcıların hedef kitleyi daha iyi anlamalarına yardımcı olmaktadır. Tüketicinin özelliklerini, ilgi alanlarını ve davranışlarını bilmek, reklamverenin en uygun ürün veya hizmet ile tüketicinin karşısına çıkmasına olanak tanır. Müşteri yolculuğunun kişiselleştirilmesinde ise yapay zeka algoritmaları reklam ögelerini analiz ederek tüketicinin ilgisine göre sunduğu ürün veya hizmet ile etkileşimi en üst seviyeye çıkarmayı hedeflemektedir. Yapay zekanın hedefleme ve kişiselleştirme ile reklamcılığı yeniden şekillendirdiği, doğru hedef kitleye doğru mesajı doğru zamanda iletmede önemli katkılar sağladığı düşünülmektedir. Bu çalışmada, literatürde son 10 yılda (2014-2024) yapay zekanın reklamcılık alanında kullanılmasına yönelik hedefleme ve kişiselleştirmeyi içeren makalelerin bibliyometrik çerçevede analiz edilmesi ve reklamcılık alanındaki gelişiminin haritalandırılması amaçlanmaktadır. Bu amaç doğrultusunda belirlenen anahtar kelimeler ve çeşitli eleme kriterleri uygulanarak Web of Science ve Scopus veri tabanlarında toplam 790 makaleye ulaşılmıştır. Yapılan analizler sonucu 2014 yılında konu ile ilgili makale sayısının 4 olduğu, 2019 yılında bu sayının 24’e ulaştığı ve 2024 yılına gelindiğinde ise 201 makalenin yayınlandığı tespit edilmiştir. Makalelerin yıllık büyüme oranının ise %52,27 olduğu görülmektedir. Bu çalışma, alandaki yayın eğilimlerimin tespit ederek gelecek çalışmalar için araştırmacılara ipuçları sunmaktadır.

Teaching History Through Comic Books: Opportunities for Public & Visual History
Authors: Wright Amie
Published: December 2024

Of the many and diverse ways public history is put to work in the world, visual history is one of largest including museum exhibits, video games, monuments, zines, films, art installations, digital collections, graphic novels, and other popular media. Yet, for all of the diversity and vibrance of public history works, public history pedagogy and practice tends to still be text-based. Building on transdisciplinary approaches from art history, comic studies, and education as well as the author’s own experiences teaching, this paper explores new opportunities and approaches for historical education through comic books. Based on specific examples and potentials for graphic history didactics in Canada and United States the article proposes universal takeaways for teaching critical visual inquiry skills through the use of comics and graphic novels throughout public history. As the diversity of public history works grow, so too should our practice and pedagogy.
Elevated serum miR-142-5p correlates with ischemic lesions and both NSE and S100β in ischemic stroke patients
Authors: Xu WeiWei , Cheng YongXia , An Ning , Jiang MeiLing
Published: December 2024

Background

This study aims to evaluate the correlation between miRNAs and known nerve injury markers neuron-specific enolase (NSE) and S100β in ischemic stroke (IS) patients, exploring its efficacy.

Methods

We retrospectively analyzed 86 IS patients and 32 healthy controls. Clinical and neurological examinations were performed in the admitted patients and the severity of neurological deficits was assessed by National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS). Plasma extraction and serum isolation were performed on all subjects before and 2 weeks after admission. miR-142-5p in serum, and NSE and S100β contents were measured by RT-qPCR and ELISA.

Results

Ischemic lesions were more severe in IS patients, and NSE and S100β were abnormally elevated. miR-142-5p in the serum of IS patients was 2.85 times higher. After 2 weeks of treatment, serum miR-142-5, NSE, and S100β decreased. Patients’ serum levels of miR-142-5p were 57.5% lower. Serum miR-142-5, NSE, and S100β were lower in patients with disease improvement than in patients with poor recovery. Additionally, miR-142-5 was positively correlated with NSE (P < 0.0001) and S100β (P = 0.0147), and also with the NIHSS score (P = 0.0004).

Conclusions

miR-142-5p, NSE, and S100β in peripheral blood (PB) of IS patients are elevated, and miR-142-5p is positively correlated with NSE and S100β.

Das Hauptziel dieser Arbeit ist es, die lexikalische Variation des Deutschen in der diatopischen und diagenerationellen Dimension bei Nachkommen nordböhmischer Einwanderergruppen in Südbrasilien kontrastiv zu analysieren. Die Sprachvarietät im Fokus wird in folgenden Orten in Rio Grande do Sul untersucht: Paverama, Imigrante, Venâncio Aires und Agudo. Die Forschungsdaten wurden im Rahmen einer Masterarbeit (Habel, 2017) und einer Dissertation (Prediger, 2019) erhoben. Bei der Analyse von vier Sprachvariablen wurde ein breites Sprachspektrum festgestellt, das sowohl von der älteren Generation (GII) als auch von der jüngeren Generation (GI) aktiv genutzt wurde. Einerseits weisen die Daten auf die Verwendung dialektalerer Kontaktvarianten mit Hunsrückisch in Paverama, Imigrante und Venâncio Aires hin. Dieser letzte Erhebungsort wies auch sprachliche Relikte aus Nordböhmen auf, häufiger in der GII. Andererseits zeigt die Analyse, dass lexikalische Formen sowohl standarddeutscher als auch portugiesischer Herkunft in Agudo koexistieren. Es stellte sich heraus, dass sich die intermediate variety der böhmischen Nachfahren regional und generationell unterschiedlich entwickelt hat.

Disinhibition across Secondary Motor Cortical Regions during Motor Sequence Learning: A TMS-EEG Study
Authors: Thong Sophie , Doery Elizabeth , Biabani Mana , Rogasch Nigel C. , Chong Trevor T.-J. , Hendrikse Joshua , Coxon James P.
Published: December 2024

Secondary motor cortical regions, such as the supplementary motor area (SMA), are involved in planning and learning motor sequences; however, the neurophysiological mechanisms across these secondary cortical networks remain poorly understood. In the primary motor cortex, changes in excitatory and inhibitory neurotransmission (E:Ibalance) accompany motor sequence learning. In particular, there is an early reduction in inhibition (i.e., disinhibition). Here, we investigated whether disinhibition occurs across secondary motor cortical regions during motor sequence learning using combined transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and electroencephalography (EEG). Twenty-nine healthy adults (14 female) practiced a sequential motor task with TMS applied to the SMA during sequence planning. TMS-evoked potentials (TEPs) were measured with EEG before, during, and after practice. The N45 TEP peak was our primary measure of disinhibition, while we analyzed the slope of aperiodic EEG activity as an additionalE:Ibalance measure. We observed a reduction in N45 amplitudes across an electrode cluster encompassing the SMA and nearby cortical regions as participants began learning new motor sequences, compared with a baseline rest phase (p < 0.01). Smaller N45 amplitudes during early learning were associated with improvements in reaction times across learning (p < 0.05). Intriguingly, aperiodic exponents increased as learning progressed and were associated with greater improvements in skill (p < 0.05). Overall, our results show that inhibition is modulated across SMA and secondary motor cortex during the planning phase of motor sequence learning and thus provide novel insight on the neurophysiological mechanisms within higher-order motor cortex that accompany new sequence learning.
The effects of biomass depth distribution on phytoplankton spring bloom dynamics and composition in an Arctic fjord
Authors: Hoppe Clara J. M. , Wolf Klara K. E. , Cottier F. , Leu E. , Maturilli M. , Rost B.
Published: December 2024

Fjord systems are among the most productive and best described of Arctic marine habitats. Contributing substantially to that overall productivity, spring phytoplankton blooms are one of the most important features of fjord systems and of mid- and high-latitude oceans in general. Understanding specific mechanisms that control the timing, magnitude, and composition of these blooms is among the most central, and yet unresolved, questions within biological oceanography. To elucidate how the distribution of phytoplankton with depth affects bloom dynamics, we analyzed a comprehensive dataset on spring blooms in an Arctic fjord from three consecutive years, covering environmental drivers as well as ecological and biogeochemical dynamics. Our data show that the build-up of biomass correlated positively with the chlorophyll layer depth (CLD, defined as the depth at the bottom of the layer containing a threshold concentration of chlorophyll a), with highest rates of biomass accumulation occurring in more depth-extended distributions despite lower light availability at greater depths. Based on our results, we hypothesize that this relationship is caused by reduced grazing pressure under conditions of deepening mixing layers. Further, we postulate that changes in the depth to which phytoplankton biomass is distributed have the potential to control the species composition of the Arctic phytoplankton spring bloom, with diatoms dominating in situations with shallow CLDs and Phaeocystis pouchetii with deepening CLDs, which may impact the biogeochemistry of the studied fjord system differently.
Los pronombres personales en el discurso narrativo del mixteco de San Pedro el Alto
Authors: Rázuri Ada
Published: December 2024

En el mixteco de San Pedro el Alto (SPA), los pronombres se presentan como formas enclíticas, formas compuestas y formasindependientes. Para esta investigación, se han seleccionado cuatro narraciones de hablantes de diferentes edades y se ha seguido parcialmente la metodología de Dooley y Levinsohn (2007) para la organización de los datos. Este artículo aborda el tema de los factores que determinan la elección del hablante en cuanto al uso de los pronombres enclíticos, compuestos e independientes en el discurso narrativo. Este problema se plantea en dos sentidos: (a) medir la persistencia de los pronominales y describir los contextos de ambigüedad basados en la propuesta de Givón (1983), y (b) describir y determinar los factores que intervienen en la elección de los pronombres personales basado en el concepto de contrastividad de Chafe (1976). La hipótesis que nos planteamos es que los pronombres enclíticos son dispositivos de referencia que rastrean y mantienen la actualidad del tópico a nivel del discurso. Por otro lado, los pronombres compuestos son elegidos para desambiguar participantes que reclaman el mismo dispositivo de codificación a nivel oracional. Finalmente, los pronombres independientes, cuando se encuentran en el foco contrastivo, se utilizan para contrastar participantes, ya que permiten establecer el cambio de información en la consciencia del oyente o reforzar la información actual.
Child Labor Outside the Family (From the End of the Nineteenth to the First Third of the Twentieth Century)
Authors: Deáky Zita
Published: December 2024

The study reviews the issue of child labor in Hungary with a historical, ethnographic approach, from the perspective of the division of labor within the family, the economic and social situation of the family. For several millenia, children have been involved in some activity within their family and kinship system, according to their age, gender, physical and mental maturity, and have been assigned increasingly complex tasks as part of the process of preparing for adult life and adulthood. When the economic and social unity of families was damaged for whatever reason, crises, poverty, and misery disrupted the natural family division of labor, and children had to seek and work for wages, food, or other benefits, with the approval or even encouragement of their parents. This means that they also played a significant role in families' struggles to survive and overcome poverty, while their exposure and vulnerability increased outside the family framework. The paper will explore the latter form of child labor outside the family.
The colloidal nature and osmotic potential of alkali-silica reaction products and their role for the ASR expansion mechanism
Authors: Giebson Colin , Seyfarth Katrin
Published: December 2024

The chemical basics of the ASR are largely revealed and widely accepted, but the nature of the expansion mechanism is still not yet sufficiently well understood. Recent observations showed that ASR products could be considered as colloidal systems. In order to clarify if and to what extent this is the case and whether it could help to better understand the nature of the ASR products and the mechanism of ASR expansion in concrete, 10 ASR products of different composition, water content and synthesised at two temperatures (40 and 60 °C) were investigated over a period of 1.5 years. The ASR products were studied by means of NTA, SEM, 29Si NMR, XRD and an osmotic cell test. The results show that ASR products contain particles of colloidal size, mainly between 50–600 nm and of different shape. The particles are unable to pass pores with a size smaller than themselves what represents a mechanism of semi-permeability in all concrete constituents with respective pore sizes, resulting in the Donnan effect and osmosis. The particles are irreversibly linked by the addition of Ca, which leads to a decrease in the particle concentration, the formation of crystalline phases and thus to a decrease in the osmotic potential of the ASR products. Based on the colloidal nature of the ASR products, expansion caused by ASR in concrete can be explained osmotically.
Confronting Climate Change in the Sundarbans in Coastal India and Bangladesh
Authors: Tenhunen Sirpa , Uddin Mohammad Jasim , Roy Dayabati
Published: December 2024

This Wisdom Letter describes how communities in the coastal Sundarbans region in India and Bangladesh have dealt with climate change impacts, offering research-based insights and policy suggestions for mitigating climate change effects. We demonstrate how climate change impacts are one among many drivers of vulnerabilities, thereby, questioning climate reductionism or climatism, an ideology that interprets problems through the singular lens of climate change. We show that climate change impacts are interlinked with local economies and governance11—people cannot choose climate change impacts, but they can shape them by adopting policies that mitigate the consequences instead of exacerbating them.
Benefits of Herding on Communal Rangelands in Free State Province, South Africa
Authors: Conradie B , Matthews N , Bahta Y
Published: December 2024

This study used survey data to measure the benefits of paid herding for small stockholders on the communal rangelands of the eastern Free State. Extensionists can recommend herding to their clients because it mitigated the worst of a recent drought by controlling intermediate consumption and facilitating better recruitment. However, the practice did not impact the size or composition of livestock losses. In drought, livestock holders prioritised off-take over accumulation and selectively shed male animals. Off-take was directed to sales rather than to home consumption. Herding affected the cost of production, with herders saving more than their wages on purchased feed and remedies but not enough to make their herds profitable.
Social anxiety and social media
Authors:   , Biglbauer Sonja
Published: December 2024

Social media are virtual spaces that currently connect around 5.2 billion users worldwide. Over the past fifteen years, a growing number of studies have attempted to clarify the relationship between social media use and mental health. The aim of this dissertation was to better understand social anxiety in the context of social media. The first paper presented current and relevant findings in the field of mental health (both anxiety and depression) and social media use (review paper). Although the research findings are not conclusive, there are a considerable number of studies that indicate that social media use is associated with certain risks, at least for vulnerable groups. The second paper was a correlational study (N = 1,174) that examined possible differences between socially anxious and non-anxious individuals in their use of social media. Socially anxious participants did not differ significantly from non-anxious participants in terms of time spent on social media, but their social media use was different; socially anxious participants tended to use social media less actively. Offline social support did not significantly moderate the relationship between active social media use and social anxiety but was a significant correlate of social anxiety. The third paper was also a correlational study (N = 295) that explored possible differences in the level of social anxiety in online and offline interactions and whether Clark and Wells’ (1995) cognitive-behavioral model of social anxiety is appropriate for understanding social anxiety in the online context. Socially anxious participants reported significantly higher social anxiety in offline interactions compared to online interactions. Structural equation modelling revealed a pattern of significant associations that was largely consistent with conceptual expectations. Taken together, these studies may provide a basis for helping socially anxious social media users to function in the virtual world in ways that support their mental health.

Published: December 2024

Objectives: To find the most suitable destinations according to a selection of various dimensions by the user. Optimization techniques are applied to clustering with the help of various objective functions, to find optimal clusters for better recommendations. Methods: This approach uses a hybrid filtering system for recommendation with a weighted K-means clustering algorithm and uses optimization techniques to improve cluster formation recommendation accuracy. This study used a data set from Kaggle, which considers different city names, types, and significance. According to city names, using a geolocator object in Python gets latitude and longitude for precise clustering. Findings: The elbow method utilizes the K-means and weighted K-means clustering algorithm to determine the number of clusters. We use optimization techniques such as the Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) algorithm and Particle Swarm Optimisation (PSO) to improve the cluster formation recommendation accuracy, as demonstrated by the following results: The accuracy of K-means with ABC and PSO is respectively 85% and 88%, while weighted K-means with ABC and PSO is respectively 90% and 93%. Novelty: This study highlights how advanced optimization techniques like ABC and PSO enhance K-means and weighted K-means clustering accuracy, precision, and recall. The combination of weighted K-means and PSO further enhances performance, making it the perfect choice for tasks that demand high-quality clustering and recommendation systems. Compared to the K-means clustering algorithm with PSO optimization, the ratio of successfully recommended relevant destinations is 7% higher.

MULTI-MODEL APPROACH FOR MODELLING CIRCADIAN RHYTHM PHYSIOLOGICAL PARAMETERS
Authors: Almarhabi Yahya , Almarashi Abdullah M.
Published: December 2024

Present study focuses on modelling four circadian rhythmic physiological parameters (body temperature, heart rate, cortisol levels, and melatonin levels) using a multi-model approach. Four distinct models were employed: cosinor model, spline models, Fourier series (Fourier decomposition), and ARIMA models (a traditional statistical tool for modelling times series data). A convenience sample of twenty internee doctors was selected from four public sector hospitals located in Jeddah. Data were collected over a 24-hour period, ensuring the inclusion of typical circadian patterns for the four physiological parameters. The models were evaluated based on their fit and predictive accuracy, with Mean Squared Error (MSE) used as the primary metric. For extracting relevant results, R software was used and codes developed for the proposed study are given in Appendix ‘A’. Outcomes of the present study demonstrated that each model effectively captured different aspects of the circadian rhythms, with Fourier series (Fourier decomposition) and spline models providing the most flexible fits and excelled in performance accuracy. The multi-model approach enabled a comprehensive understanding of the circadian patterns, offering insights into the complex dynamics of physiological rhythms. This study highlights the importance of using diverse modelling techniques to capture the multifaceted nature of circadian rhythms, with implications for improving health outcomes through better understanding and management of biological cycles.

Published: December 2024

Supervised machine learning classificitaion algorithms have been widely used in many fields in recent years. Especially, health is one of the most important areas where machine learning studies are carried out successfully. The aim of this study is to develop models that predict the disease stage of people who apply to hospital with the diagnosis of Covid-19.
Inadequacies such as intensive care occupancy, insufficiency of beds, and shortage of respiratory equipment are among these problems, and this has left healthcare workers faced with the overwhelming burden of patients. Therefore, estimating the disease stages of Covid-19 patients at an early stage is of great importance. The data set used in the study includes the clinical and laboratory data of the patients during in their admission to the hospital.It has been tried to develop models that predict disease stage by using Logistic Regression, Random Forest and Support Vector Machine algorithms in the data set. The random forest model with 9 variables was the best performing model.
With the models obtained, it will be ensured that the hospital management receives information in order to see the necessary treatment for low-risk or high-risk patients and to avoid medical system inadequacies.

Authors: Gupta Dev Brat , Bhatt Vinod , Mathur Shreya , Badge Jyoti , Sharma Asmita
Published: December 2024

The main purpose of this article is the combination of self-determination theory and experiential learning methodologies that explores the relationship of developing ELT, employability skill, life skills. The goal of this article is to develop a theoretical framework for life and work skills as both of these non-technical skills can be acquired by satisfying our psychological requirements for autonomy, competence, and relatedness in a classroom setting that fosters active learning. A convenient sampling technique has been used through a questionnaire-based survey of 2185 students from technical universities across India. The SPSS 29 version has been used to code and analyze the data set. Further various tests have been employed to determine Role of ELT and Life Skills in Developing Employability Skills through Integrating Self Determination and Experiential Learning. The creation of this framework is to point out how to improve one's own competence, self-assurance, intrinsic motivation, and other beneficial outcomes seen in a variety of spheres of life, including childhood, sports, and career. Consider initially how young children might acquire life skills that will promote later development of an employability skill and provide additional advantages for both the individual and the workplace. The article proposes insightful suggestions to educators and policy makers to put into practice efficient methods for incorporating experiential learning and self-determination theory into ELT and life skills curriculum.

The article is devoted to the socio-philosophical, military-political analysis of the dangerous evolution of the Russian invasion of Ukraine in the broader context of global security. The author explicates a natural path from subtle actions of support for armed separatists of the DPR-LPR, covered by the narrative 'we are not here‘, to an open aggressive attack on Ukraine by 'invasion forces‘ for a quick 'special military operation‘, and after its failure, to large - scale hostilities with a half-million-strong mobilised army in a war to destroy Ukrainians.
For decades, the Russians have been pursuing a policy of subjugating Ukraine, first by the 'soft‘ power of energy ties to the 'gas octopus‘, falsification of Ukrainian history, humanitarian fog of 'unity of peoples‘, then by the transition to a 'conflict below armed conflict‘ in an attempt to seize the island of Tuzla (2003) (which can be seen as a ) (which can be regarded as a prologue to war), the unleashing of a 'hybrid‘ war, then a full-scale war, and steps to demonstrate superiority in airspace, and finally nuclear blackmail.
Recognition of the war's escalation into a 'catastrophic clash‘ of world powers, or a 'clash of world leaders outside Ukraine‘, in the terminology of American analysts (Thomas F. Lynch), is not sufficient for a deep scientific analysis of the evolution of Russian plans and actions, іn the current Russian-Ukrainian war, the goal is the destruction of Ukraine's armed resistance, further neocolonisation of the independent state, and the restoration of Russia's imperial ambitions in the Euro-Asian space. Under these circumstances, it is important to determine the form (model) of our country's military security in a situation of long-term confrontation with Muscovy, given the disappointing dynamics of the security situation in Europe and the prospects for an 'armed peace‘. While Western analysts believe that the future is 'shrouded in a fog of uncertainty‘ and European armies seem to have a margin of 4-5 years to prepare for a war with Muscovy, the urgent task of Ukrainian scholars is to scientifically predict the deteriorating trend in the global security situation, in which Ukraine has already shown an example of resilience and struggle. The author offers an overview of 4 models of military security for it: synergistic, Euro-Atlantic, Israeli and synthetic, the choice of which will be given to politicians and strategists.
Rhyme as a structural component of the sonnet text
Authors:   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Kyiv, Ukraine, MOISIIENKO Anatolii
Published: December 2024

Background. The article deals with the description of rhyme structures and their functioning in the Ukrainian sonnet text. Using a wide range of case studies, the author examines rhyme structures that are characteristic of the classical European sonnet, represented by Italian, French, and English forms, as well as the contagion plan for such forms. The author analyzes the role of rhyme in the structural and compositional organization of the stanza and the integral system of sonnet verse, with a projection on the author's own artistic and aesthetic perception of such integrity.

Methods. Descriptive, systematization and matrix modelling, contextual.

Results. The author traces the regularities of the construction of Ukrainian sonnet verse, taking into account both the established criteria for the use of rhyme and numerous modifications related to the nature and functioning of the rhyme construct. Different structural types of rhymes are considered ‒ in terms of partial expression, full and incomplete rhymes, functional role, for example, homonymous pairs ‒ in a sentence, a separate stanza, and an entire sonnet text. Varieties of rich rhyme are characterized (based on full consonances, when a fully rhyming word correlates with the rhyme component of the correlated word when a phoneme sound is inserted/dropped before the stressed syllable, when rhyming words differ only in the initial components of the phoneme complex preceding the stressed syllable, in particular, with intervocalic modification in such a preposition, etc. The author emphasizes the role of rhyme in creating a holistic poetic matrix of the sonnet, with certain instruments, anagramming, enjambment, and chiasmic alternation.

Conclusions. Rhyme in the sonnet text, in addition to its background role, performs an important structural, compositional, and genre-creating function. Rhyme diversity, both in the established structures of stanza organization and with a variety of modifications, in particular, with the leftward spread of the rhyme component (with consonance inside, at the beginning of the word) in the modern sonnet, is an important factor in enriching the phonetic palette of the poem. A peculiar rhyme resonance at the level of individual syllables, syllables and words, and entire lines contributes to the dynamization and aestheticization of the artistic structure. Rhyme becomes a kind of faceting not only of the sound but also of the figurative and semantic integrity of the work.

Leprosy is a chronic disabling disease of infectious nature caused by Mycobacterium leprae hominis and accompanied by lesion of the skin, mucous membranes, peripheral nervous system, musculoskeletal system and viscera.
According to the World Health Organization in 2018 208,641 new cases of leprosy have been registered in the world. The major share of morbidity is accounted for countries such as Angola, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Central African Republic, India, Mozambique, Madagascar, Brazil, Nepal, United Republic of Tanzania. However, due to migration, expansion of trade and economic ties and tourism development, there have been sporadic cases of leprosy in other countries, too.
This article describes the illustration of the clinical case of 24-year-old patient S., who turned to our clinic with complaints of rashes on the skin of the face, limbs, auricles of the ears, accompanied by itching. From anamnesis: the patient lived in the Republic of Chad, Central Africa, until 2019, when he moved to Moscow and entered Moscow Institute of Technology, and lived in a dormitory. Patient hasn`t left Moscow since 2019. Comorbidity: chronic viral hepatitis B. According to the patient’s words relatives don’t have complaints. The patient reckons he fell ill about 3 years ago when he noticed rashes on his face the first time. Later on, rashes appeared on the skin of the limbs and body. Over the last year, he has experienced swelling of the hands and the feet. Starting in March 2023, he repeatedly was consulted by dermatologists and haematologists. Among the proposed diagnoses were lichen planus, multiple eruptive xanthoma, non-Langerhans cell histiocytosis (Erdheim–Chestern's disease). Treatment with topical glucocorticosteroids has proved ineffective.
Following that the patient visited V.A. Rakhmanov Department of Skin and Venereal diseases, where he was diagnosed with leprosy (multiple hemispherical elevated lepromas on the skin of the body, limbs, face and auricles of the ears, bloody nasal discharge, hypopigmented spots with loss of tactile sensitivity especially on the skin of the limbs, papular rashes on the oral mucosa) and recommended bacterioscopic examination of skin scarificates and nasal mucosa scrapings for detection of Mycobacterium leprae.
Pruritus: pathogenesis, classification, diagnostics and therapeutic methods (literature review)
Authors: Kochergin Nikolay G. , Smaoui Syrine
Published: December 2024

Pruritus is an important problem of modern medicine, which goes far beyond dermatology.
Itching, also known as pruritus, is a complex condition marked by an unpleasant skin sensation that makes you want to scratch. This article examines the etiology, categorization, diagnosis, and treatment modalities associated with pruritus.
Histamine, cytokines, and neuropeptides are a few of the mediators involved in the pathophysiology of pruritus, along with interactions between the immune and neurological systems. Based on where it originates, pruritus can be categorized into dermatological, systemic, neuropathic, and psychogenic sources.
The focus of diagnostic techniques is on a comprehensive clinical assessment to find underlying reasons. There are many different types of treatment methods, from systemic and topical drugs to non-pharmacological techniques like behavioral therapy, phototherapy, and neuromodulation. New treatments focus on particular biochemical pathways that are responsible for itching signal transmission.
The paper presents an overview of modern views on the pathogenesis of pruritus and various methods of treatment.

Published: December 2024

Objective: We evaluated the knowledge of tuberculosis in the population of the municipality of Matehuala, San Luis Potosí.
Methods: The study focused on collecting quantitative data on tuberculosis in adults (<18 years old). An instrument based on WHO guidelines was used. Ten questions about diagnosis, treatment, causative agent, and disease symptoms were asked. Data were collected in Google FORMS and analyzed with SPSS.
Results: Forty-six people were surveyed with a low knowledge of the disease. Thirty-five percent of the participants had never heard of tuberculosis. Some had incorrect ideas about the transmission of the disease: it is transmitted through mosquito bites (10.8%) or consumption of street food (19.5%). 65.2% correctly identified that bacteria cause TB. Approximately half of the respondents were unaware that people with malnutrition or HIV are at higher risk of contracting the disease. As for the symptoms of TB, 63% correctly identified them; many were unaware of the difficulty of diagnosing the disease in certain groups (e.g., children). Regarding treatment, the majority (93.4%) recognized that tuberculosis is treated with specific drugs; 23.9% mistakenly thought there was no cure.
Conclusion: The need to improve the dissemination of accurate information and educate the population about tuberculosis, symptoms, transmission methods, prevention, and treatment is highlighted. It is essential to increase public awareness and provide adequate education to implement effective strategies for controlling and preventing this disease.

The complexity of the food transition: a social simulation perspective
Authors: Jager Wander
Published: December 2024

This paper first discusses the complexity of a transition in the food system, taking the stance of a system-of-systems approach where cascading effects can happen. A complexity perspective is taken in explaining transitional dynamics and their limited predictability. Following that, we focus on the social and behavioural dimensions of transitions. Here we zoom in on human needs as fundamental drivers, explaining how tensions between different needs may lay at the root of individual and social tipping points. Agent based modelling is explained as a methodology to simulate these social and behavioural dynamics, offering a tool to address the human factor into modelling the food system-of-systems. It is discussed that such agent-based models should integrate different behavioural drivers and processes to be capable of modelling transitional dynamics.
