Can Inflammatory Indexes Predict the Severity of Mucosal Inflammation in Ulcerative Colitis?
Authors: Küçük İrfan , Tural Ersin
Published: November 2024

Aim: Inflammatory indexes can relate to disease activity in ulcerative colitis (UC). This study aimed to evaluate whether the inflammatory indexes of neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), C-reactive protein (CRP)-albumin ratio (CAR), CRP-lymphocyte ratio (CLR), and systemic immune-inflammation index (SIII) might predict the severity of mucosal inflammation in UC.
Material and Methods: This retrospective case-control study included 184 UC patients and 101 healthy controls. The Mayo clinical score and Mayo endoscopic score were used for the clinical and endoscopic features of UC. Truelove and Richards’s method for the severity of mucosal inflammation determined the histological activity index (HAI).
Results: The inflammatory index values, were higher in UC patients compared to the control group (p=0.007 for NLR, and p<0.001 for the others). The patients having endoscopic, clinic, and histologically active disease had higher inflammatory index values than those in remission (p<0.001 for all). UC patients with extensive disease had higher inflammatory index values than the patients who had limited disease (p<0.001 for all). The HAI values were positively correlated to all inflammatory indexes, and the correlation was the strongest between the HAI and CLR (rho=0.737, p<0.001). Regarding HAI, the diagnostic accuracy of all inflammatory indexes for detecting the clinically active disease was statistically significant, and there was no significant difference between them in terms of diagnostic accuracy.
Conclusion: The inflammatory indexes of NLR, CAR, CLR, and SII might predict the severity of histological inflammation in UC.

Authors: Niu Xiaoming , Jin Luyu , Liu Si , Li Hao
Published: November 2024

This study investigated the impact of fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) on the intestinal microecology of patients with colorectal cancer. The intestinal microbiota structure of patients with colorectal cancer often undergoes significant changes, which are closely related to the occurrence and development of the disease. As a novel therapeutic approach, FMT aims to rebuild intestinal microecological balance
and thereby improve clinical symptoms and prognosis of patients with colorectal cancer. This study found that FMT can effectively alter the
intestinal microbiota structure of patients with colorectal cancer, increase microbial diversity, reduce intestinal inflammation, and potentially
enhance the patient s immune function. However, FMT still faces challenges in clinical application, such as donor selection, ethical issues,
and the stability of transplantation effects. Future research needs to further explore optimization strategies for FMT to fully realize its potential
in the treatment of colorectal cancer.

“Voice is an extension of a person; reflection of their personality”. It is believed, that voice is just an action of muscles and organs, but we must remember, that it is shaped with our personality, character, temperament and emotions. Everybody has their own level of sensitivity, which is determined to some extent genetically as well as socially. High sensitivity is not bad, unless it does affect negatively on our functioning. In recent years there have been diagnosed adaptive disorders under stress, which applied to large group of patients with personality profile called “very sensitive”.
Occupational voice disorders are noted as considerable social problem. It is related to the development of civilization, omnipresent stress and problems that arise from neuromuscular mechanisms within the vocal organs. Most exposed to the larynx diseases and their effects are people, who are supposed to use their voices excessively, e.g. singers, teachers, academic lecturers, radio and tv journalist, politicians, priests, lawyers. The purpose of the paper is to present characteristics of disfunction of vocal organs based on personal experiences of some very sensitive individuals. It is preceded by short consideration on emotional sensitivity, negative influence of stress, as well as by a brief description of vocal disorders.

Authors: Ferriz Gómez Alberto , Rosas Ferrusca Francisco Javier , Calderón Maya Juan Roberto , Miranda Rosales Verónica , Jiménez Sánchez Pedro Leobardo
Published: November 2024

. La motorización en las grandes ciudades constituye en la actualidad un factor que demanda alternativas para que los centros urbanos recuperen su funcionalidad y ofrezcan a sus habitantes espacios públicos que prioricen la interacción social. El objetivo de este artículo radica en analizar la percepción de la población que por algún motivo acude al centro histórico de la ciudad de Toluca, México, en torno a su peatonalización. Para tal efecto, se diseñó una encuesta semiestructurada que recopila la opinión de los visitantes a este polígono, considerando los motivos de viaje, los costos, los modos de transporte y su postura a favor o en contra de la peatonalización. Los resultados indican que si bien existe un porcentaje alto (69%) que apoya las iniciativas para evitar la congestión vehicular y ejecutar acciones de mejora, también es una realidad que la peatonalización no puede ser total: un 53,5% de la población está a favor de peatonalizar parcialmente, es decir, solo algunas vialidades, mientras que el 31% prefiere mantener las condiciones tal y como se encuentran actualmente a pesar de los efectos negativos que prevalecen. Estas cifras reflejan que las autoridades responsables de la movilidad urbana en el ámbito local y estatal deben asumir el reto de diseñar alternativas para avanzar hacia esquemas más sustentables que contrarresten las externalidades derivadas del incremento del índice de motorización en el centro histórico de Toluca.

Authors: Ningrum Siti Gusti , Ardiansyah Ferdi Nur , Pratama Hendra Aditiya , Erawati Hardika Dewi , Sari Dian Ayu Kartika
Published: November 2024

Background: Southeast Asia's edible bird nest industry, particularly in Indonesia, has experienced rapid growth in recent years. Indonesia stands as the world's leading exporter of edible bird nests. However, concerns persist regarding the quality of edible bird nests produced in the country, specifically to do with meeting quality standards by ensuring freedom from microbial contaminants that can lead to foodborne illnesses. Purpose: To evaluate the microbiological contamination of cleaned edible bird nests sourced from Java Island, Indonesia. Cases(s):  Yellow-brown discoloration of edible bird nests collected from bird houses of Javan origin. Case Management:  Fifty samples of raw white edible bird’s nest samples (cup-shaped) with yellow-brown discoloration (n=25) originating from Java Island and raw white edible bird’s nest samples (cup-shaped) (n=25) were collected aseptically from the edible bird’s nest warehouses in Surabaya. These samples of edible nests from Java Island were subjected to microbiological analysis. The findings revealed a disconcerting trend, with 25 samples from Java Island exhibiting contamination by Escherichia coli (40%) and coliform bacteria (100%), surpassing established contamination thresholds. Conclusion:  This raises critical concerns about the safety and quality of edible bird nests from the region, highlighting the need for enhanced production and processing practices, as well as rigorous quality control measures to ensure consumer safety and to maintain the industry's reputation on a global scale. Addressing these issues is imperative not only to safeguard public health but also to sustain and further develop the lucrative edible bird nest industry in Indonesia.

Authors: Gonçalves Felipe Dias , Lopes Ana Camila Xavier , Barbosa Yago Eloy Souza , Costa Marcelo Leite Vieira
Published: November 2024

Introdução: Cistos de colédoco são anomalias das vias biliares raras e pré-malignas, caracterizado por uma lesão cística intra e/ou extra-hepática cuja etiopatogenia permanece sem completa elucidação. Cistos gigantes são definidos como lesões de diâmetro igual ou maior a 10 cm. Relato de caso: Este artigo reporta o caso de uma mulher de 19 anos admitida no serviço de cirurgia oncológica do Hospital Universitário Walter Cantídio com dor em região epigástrica de irradiação para dorso, associado à náusea e vômitos, iniciada aos 9 anos, e de evolução para dor em hipocôndrio direito. Diagnosticado cisto de colédoco, procedeu-se abordagem excisional com ressecção completa de toda a lesão em monobloco, seguido de hepaticojejunoanastomose na bifurcação em Y de Roux. Discussão: Cistos de colédoco são lesões com potencial de malignidade, demandando excisão completa da lesão. A clínica é variável nas faixas etárias e a colangiorressonância é o exame padrão-ouro na investigação dessas lesões. A dificuldade no acesso a exames de imagem apropriados e abordagem cirúrgica adequada expõe necessidade de direcionamento precoce dos pacientes para centros especializados. Conclusão: Cistos de colédoco gigantes são raros e requerem abordagem por equipe especializada. É imprescindível fortalecer a educação médica, de modo a permitir diagnósticos mais precoces de tal lesão.

Determinants of Russian Population’s Attitude Towards Environmental Issues: the Role of Geopolitical Tensions
Authors: Sokolova Y.
Published: November 2024

It is widely recognised that public interest in environmental issues is a driver of low-carbon economic development, owing to the fact that the degree of community concern about environmental quality is tightly associated with the implementation of green initiatives by business and government. In its turn, public support for environmental protection is a function of socio-economic, cultural, historical and political conditions. Russia is an economy that has managed to increase its prosperity and qualitatively transform institutions over the past two decades. The country’s economic growth has been accompanied by environmental degradation, especially at the regional level. More importantly, social and economic upswing in Russia was associated with greater involvement of the population in environmental protection issues. There has been a steady increase in the share of the population who prefer environmental protection to economic growth, and the proportion of Russians who are convinced that human activity has a significant impact on the environment has considerably grown. However, at the current stage of development, sociological surveys indicate a significant decrease in the interest of Russian citizens in environmental issues. Escalating geopolitical uncertainty and macroeconomic turbulence may contribute to the fact. This study aims to identify the determinants of the Russian population’s attitudes towards environmental issues over the period of 1995–2023, with a special focus on the role of geopolitical tensions. The results obtained by means of the sophisticated econometric techniques – Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) and Non-Linear Autoregressive Distributed Lag (NARDL) – indicate that income level, education, as well as the spread of information and telecommunication technologies (ICT) stimulate the involvement of Russian citizens in environmental issues, while geopolitical tensions reduce the share of the population that prioritises environmental protection. At the same time, the study sheds light on the fact that maintaining the interest of the Russian population towards environmental issues is most relevant in the context of high geopolitical risks, as environmental degradation is most likely to be observed during this period.
Assistance to Ukraine from European Countries: Example of Poland and Czechia
Authors: Pavlova M. , Chetverikova A.
Published: November 2024

The purpose of the article is to explore main forms of assistance offered by Poland and the Czech Republic to Ukraine. Firstly, the paper discusses the main lines of action taken by Polish government and society in support of Ukraine. It is assumed that direct involvement of in helping Kyiv was due to various political, strategic, economic and defensive factors. However, dynamics of aid allocation was still depending on the international ambitions of Polish government on the one hand and on the public sentiments towards Ukrainian refugees – on the other. Despite declarations of Polish-Ukrainian strategic partnership, aid provided to Kyiv tends to increasingly serve Poland’s policy goals and trade interests. Secondly, the development of Czech-Ukrainian relations in political and socio-economic spheres is assessed. The conclusion is made about the transformation of foreign trade relations between the Czech Republic and Ukraine after the beginning of Russia’s Special military operation (SMO). The main problems faced by Czechia in connection with the influx of Ukrainian refugees as well as the reaction of Czech society to this are considered. There is a certain fatigue in the country today because of the “Ukrainian issue”, which is indicative against the background of active support at the beginning of 2022. Special attention is paid to the comprehensive assistance provided by Prague to Kyiv. The Czech Republic stays an active donor of military aid to Ukraine, which entails a significant financial burden. The Czech side seeks to partially “compensate” such expenses by expanding economic cooperation, including plans for active participation in the further reconstruction of Ukraine. The factors influencing the expansion of interaction between the two countries are identified.
Forecasting of Export Value in Indonesia Using Top-Down Hierarchical Time Series Based on Historical Proportion
Authors: Inas Rafidah  , Kartikasari Mujiati Dwi
Published: November 2024

Export is a trading activity carried out between countries by bringing or sending goods originating from within the country to foreign countries with the aim of selling or marketing them. Exports as a source of state revenue are needed for the economy because exports can make a major contribution to economic stability and growth. Export values that experience a decrease or increase in the future need to be considered. For this reason, the purpose of this study is to forecast the value of exports in Indonesia for the coming period. Export value data is treated as hierarchical time series data. The top-down method is applied based on historical proportions, so only the total series of export values needs to be modeled. This study implements Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) to model the total series of export values. The performance of the method is evaluated based on the out-of-sample mean absolute percentage error (MAPE). The results show that the MAPE for out-of-sample is 9.91%. These results indicate that the performance of the method for forecasting export values in Indonesia is highly accurate.
Treatment of Bottom Ash Medical Waste (BAMW) from Hospital Infectious Waste into Paving Block Products
Authors: Riyanto Riyanto , Asrel  , Jatnika Yuda
Published: November 2024

Hospital solid waste is infectious waste, so it is included in the category of hazardous and toxic waste. One method of processing hospital solid waste is by burning it in an incinerator. The result of burning B3 waste at high temperatures is ash or known as bottom ash medical waste (BAMW). Ash from hospital waste processing is included in hazardous and toxic materials, so it needs to be handled properly. This study aims to process BAMW using the solidification/stabilization method. The BAMW processing product is paving blocks. The study was conducted by varying the composition of paving blocks. The variations carried out were the percentage of BAMW and its particle size. In addition, a Total Organic Carbon (TOC) level test was carried out on the water used to soak the paving blocks after being stored for 27 days. The results of the study showed that the higher the percentage of BAMW, the lower the compressive strength of the paving blocks, while the ability to absorb water and wear increased. The size of the BAMW particles also affects the quality of the paving blocks. The smaller the particle size, the better the quality of the paving blocks. Higher compressive strength indicates better quality of the paving blocks. The results of the analysis of the water used to soak the paving blocks showed that the TOC concentration was higher if the compressive strength decreased. BAMW can be used as an additional material for making paving blocks, but the composition should not be large.
An analytic tableaux calculus adequate for the logic of existence propositions
Authors:   Lomonosov Moscow State University, Markin Vladimir
Published: November 2024

In [Markin, 2021] we set out the formal system for logical analyses of reasonings with existence judgements and their Boolean combinations. Its language contains the constant of existence, atomic formulas are formed by the concatenation of this constant with any finite sequence of general terms (positive and negative), complex formulas are formed by means of propositional connectives. We formulated a natural semantics and an adequate axiomatic calculus for this language. In this paper we construct an analytic tableau version of the calculus of existential judgements. We postulate the rules of expansion of a tableau for the formulas with the constant of existence and their negations, define analytic tableau as a sequence of families of sets of the formulas and formulate the criterion for the tableau closure. A formula A is provable in this calculus iff there exists a closed analytic tableau with the root {{ ¬A }} . We prove soundness and completeness theorems for the analytic tableau calculus of existential judgements. The effective procedure, which makes it possible to answer the question whether a formula is provable, is proposed in the paper. We prove decidability theorem for the analytic tableau calculus.
Non-classical logic concepts of Hugh MacColl
Authors:   Tuvan State University, Kadyg-ool Khulerben
Published: November 2024

In this article we attempt to review the main ideas of non-classical logic of Hugh MacColl, logician, mathematician and philosopher (1837–1909). Based on the ideas of G. Boole MacColl impressively advanced in the fields of studying implication and the nature of inference. This research led the Scottish scholar to an idea that there can be more than two traditional truth-values, 1 and 0, respectively. And by the same time MacColl discovered and defined different types of modalities. Thus, his investigations were breaking-through for his time and anticipated some of milestone innovations in logic of the XX century. His works caused combative debates when released. Most famous logicians of his time criticized all his initiatives, sometimes even calling them ‘useless complication’. However, his ideas inspired C.I. Lewis for his first systems of modal logic and his strict implication. But in his later works Lewis did all not to mention MacColl. The second half of the XX century is a period of some kind of interest for the Scottish logician’s works revival. Still, the ideas of MacColl are not that familiar in Russia.

Cyanobacterial harmful algae blooms (e.g. those of Microcystis) and their toxins (e.g. microcystins - MCs) threaten the safe use of lakes for drinking and recreation and this hazard is expected to increase in a warming climate. This is an urgent environmental problem, but there is no scientific consensus about the best management approach. Reducing inputs of the growth-limiting nutrient phosphorous can be successful in decreasing cyanobacterial biomass but the effect on toxin concentrations is unclear. Evidence from laboratory data and models suggests toxin concentrations may even increase. What has been missing is field data to support or refute this hypothesis. Here, we present two analyses of the National Lakes Assessment (NLA) dataset. The first focuses on changes in MC concentration within individual lakes across time. In the second analysis, we applied Generalized Additive Models (GAMs) across all lakes and time points. Both analyses show that when phosphorus only is reduced, Chlorophyll a decreases but MC concentration increases. A dual reduction of nitrogen and phosphorus, however, results in a decrease of biomass and toxins. This supports a management approach of dual nutrient reduction.

Biology achieves parts-per-billion (ppb) sensitivity in gas speciation by tracking chemical gradients over time. Replicating this precision in engineered sensors is challenging due to the small differences in adsorption activation energy (\(\:{E}_{a}\)) between molecular species. \(\:{E}_{a}\) imposes exponentially growing long steady-state response times (\(\:{E}_{a}/{k}_{B}T)\) relative to the Brownian thermal fluctuation scale (\(\:{k}_{B}T\)), limiting time-based molecular discernibility. Diffusion kinetics, which are often overlooked, can alter adsorption behavior over time. We demonstrate that the diffusion of volatiles on a thin \(\:\sim200\:nm\) nanoporous metal-organic framework matrix varies anomalously when synergized by strain from shear vibrations of a quartz crystal microbalance. This generates unique adsorption timescale signatures, enabling us to decouple a second fluctuational timescale, highlighting a constant interplay of steady-state and fluctuational adsorption behaviors. This distinct timescale offers a new selectivity metric, achieving ppb-level sensitivity that closely mimics biological standards. Our results showcase the potential of using fluctuational kinetics at a nanoporous interface for real-time molecular identification.

Drilling mud, composed of clay, bentonite, and potassium humate, can enhance nutrient availability in barren, coarse-textured soils. This study examines drilling mud from a coalfield and adjacent wind-sand land, focusing on its microscopic structure, particle size distribution, heavy metal content, and potential for resource utilization.The analysis reveals that the drilling mud is a solid-liquid mixture with a pH of 6.94 and 68.44% water content. The fine precipitated particles have a smooth surface. Adding drilling mud did not significantly affect soil pH or electrical conductivity, nor did it alter salinization or alkalization levels. However, soil organic matter, total nitrogen, available phosphorus, and rapid-release potassium increased significantly. Total heavy metal levels remained within acceptable limits as per the "Soil Environmental Quality - Risk Control Standard for Soil Pollution of Agricultural Land" (GB15618-2018).The particle size distribution of the mud spans a few micrometers to several hundred micrometers, effectively filling small sandy soil pores and improving particle size distribution. Adding 30% drilling mud significantly reduced medium and fine sand content while increasing clay and silt from 2.5% (CK group) to 12.8% (M3 group), enhancing soil structure and stability. Water retention in sandy soil improved significantly, with the M4 group achieving 20.5% retention compared to 12.3% in the CK group, demonstrating remarkable enhancement.

Walkaway Vertical Seismic Profiling (VSP) can receive three-component full elastic wavefield information in the well, including upgoing and downgoing P- and SV-waves. This is beneficial for constructing accurate subsurface velocity models and improving the processing and interpretation quality of seismic data. The existing VSP velocity modeling methods are primarily based on traveltime tomography, and the amplitude information has not been fully utilized. The main reason is that the pre-stack preprocessing of VSP data often breaks the polarization characteristics of P- and SV-waves, resulting in insufficient fidelity of the P- and SV-wave amplitudes used for inversion. This paper proposes an elastic full waveform tomography (EFWT) strategy for Walkaway-VSP in time domain. Tests on the forward VSP data of the Marmousi model show that the EFWT method can produce stable inversion results for the P- and SV-wave velocity models even when the initial models are inaccurate. For the application of real Walkaway-VSP data, we establish a pre-stack processing flow for EFWT that can maintain the polarization characteristics of the Z- and R-component seismic waves. The calibration results of the corridor stack section show that the P- and SV-wave velocity models generated by EFWT can align PP- and PSV-wave imaging accurately at the correct depth. This highlights the feasibility and significant potential of the proposed EFWT strategy for VSP applications.

Background Allo-HSCT is a curative therapy for patients with transfusion-dependent thalassemia (TDT). The high incidence of transplant-related complications is becoming an obstacle to safe and effective unrelated donor (URD) transplantation.
Methods In this retrospective study, we reported the survival outcomes and complications of transplantation in thalassemia patients using a novel regimen consisting of pre-transplantation immunosuppression (PTIS) and modified myeloablative conditioning based on intravenous busulfan, cyclophosphamide, fludarabine, and rabbit anti-human thymocyte immunoglobulin.
Results A total of 88 thalassemia patients received the novel conditioning regimen (NCR group), while 118 patients received the conventional conditioning regimen (CCR group). The median age at HSCT in the NCR group was older (7 years vs. 4 years, p< 0.05). No patient in the NCR group experienced primary graft failure, while the 3-year probabilities of OS and TFS were 96.6% and 93.2%, respectively. Even when the intensity of conditioning was reduced, OS (94.8% vs. 94.3%, p=0.848) and TFS (89.8% vs. 92.5%, p=0.663) in URD transplants in the NCR group were comparable to those in the CCR group, while the risk of autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) (0% vs. 15.1%) was lower. In addition, the NCR group had lower rates of mixed chimerism (7.1%).
Conclusions URD transplantation can achieve a comparable prognosis to matched sibling donor (MSD) transplantation with a lower incidence of AIHA due to PTIS and modified myeloablative conditioning regimen.
