Pregnancy and childbirth in women with a kidney transplant (clinical observation)
Authors: Bulyk L.M. , Haidai A.P. , Kyrylchuk M.Yе. , Koval S.D.
Published: June 2023

The number of pregnant women with kidney transplant is growing and will continue to increase in Ukraine and all over the world, taking into account the development of transplantology. Such patients belong to the high-risk group, however, a clear understanding and adequate evaluation of the prognostic factors which are described in the literature will allow to transfer from prohibition and intimidation to the stage of supporting motherhood and providing highly qualified medical care to women with kidney transplants.This article presents two clinical cases of pregnancy and childbirth in women with kidney transplants, which occurred in the Department of Internal Pathology of Pregnant Women of the State Institution “Institute of Pediatrics, Obstetrics and Gynecology named after Acad. O. M. Lukyanova National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine”. Both patients with kidney transplants that functioned for 4 and 5 years, respectively, visited the doctor in early pregnancy.The anamnesis of the first pregnant woman was without peculiarities, while the second patient already had an episode of acute transplant rejection in the anamnesis and organ retransplantation from her mother. In addition, she had viral hepatitis B and C, as well as an insufficient level of immunosuppression. The function of the transplants in both women was satisfactory, each of the persons suffered from secondary nephrogenic anemia. Correction of immunosuppression in both patients was difficult, especially at 28 weeks, which is associated with hemodilution of pregnant women. Both women experienced an episode of urinary tract infection, which is experienced by about 40 % of pregnant kidney recipients.The first pregnant woman was practically healthy at full term pregnancy and had no indications for abdominal operation delivery, however, due to a clinically narrow pelvis she had cesarean section, which is a technically difficult surgery in such cases. In the second patient, the last weeks of pregnancy were complicated by hypertension of non-placental origin and transplant function disorders, which became an indication for cesarean section at 38 weeks. In the postpartum period kidney function began to recover. The condition of both newborns was satisfactory.Therefore, despite the reliable pregnancy outcomes in kidney transplant patients, an increased risk of obstetric complications and adverse perinatal outcomes remains. Interdisciplinary monitoring with timely correction of kidney transplant function disorders, monitoring of immunosuppressive therapy, prevention of premature births, careful control of blood pressure and adequate fetal monitoring allows to hope for favorable obstetric and perinatal outcomes in this group of patients.

Published: June 2023

Исследование посвящено геморрагической трансформации ишемического инсульта, в котором обсуждаются современные представления о механизмах его развития, методах моделирования и возможностях фармакотерапии. Особое внимание уделяется значимости гипоперфузии — одного из элементов триады локального ишемического поражения ЦНС Вирхова, который предлагается рассматривать с включением в этот процесс всех мозговых сосудов. Важно отметить, что при геморрагической трансформации кровь поступает в пораженную ишемией ткань головного мозга и поэтому её следует рассматривать как сочетанную цереброваскулярную патологию. Предлагается новая модель с регистрацией мозгового кровообращения и последовательным применением ишемического и геморрагического поражений головного мозга. При предложенном моделировании сочетанной цереброваскулярной патологии наблюдается значительное понижение кровоснабжения, обусловленное выраженным спазмом сосудов, а устранение этого спазма является одним из важнейших направлений фармакологической коррекции геморрагической трансформации. Поэтому предлагаемый нами новый методический подход, как и данные об устранении генерализованного спазма сосудов головного мозга афобазолом, будут способствовать повышению трансляционного потенциала экспериментальной цереброваскулярной фармакологии.

Published: June 2023

Background: The number of individuals who are underweight as well as overweight is increasing worldwide and is known to lead to menstrual disorders and subfertility. Data regarding the prevalence of infertility in Austrian women are lacking. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of a pathologically low and high body mass index (BMI) in Austrian patients with infertility and to evaluate the live birth rate (LBR) after assisted reproductive technologies (ARTs) compared with normal weight patients. Methods: A total of 585 couples with infertility who sought treatment at a single center between April 2017 and April 2019 were included in this retrospective study. The patients were categorized into study group 1 (BMI <19 kg/m2, n = 35), study group 2 (BMI >30 kg/m2, n = 40), and control group (BMI 19–30 kg/m2, n = 95. They were randomly selected from the n = 522 women within these BMI values). Results: The prevalence rates of BMI <19 kg/m2 and BMI >30 kg/m2 were 5.9% and 6.7%, respectively. Baseline clinical and laboratory characteristics as well as the prevalence of pathospermia in their male partners were similar in all study groups. In women undergoing ART (n = 112), LBR was comparable between the study groups (27.3% vs. 31.9% and 22.2%, p = 0.4). Conclusions: The prevalence of low and high BMI in Austrian patients seeking fertility treatment was almost 13%. Although LBR was not reduced, physicians should be more attentive to the BMI values of patients with infertility because pregnancy-related complications are linked to being underweight and obese.
Assessment of Computed Tomography Imaging for Isolated Type 1 Bicuspid Aortic Valve Repair: A Comparison between Internal and External Suture Annuloplasty Techniques
Authors: Ni Qiming , Fan Liwen , Li Wei , Ren Shunan , Meng Xu , Yang Tianyang
Published: June 2023

Background: The ideal position of suture annuloplasty relative to the aortic annulus (internal or external) remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of internal and external suture annuloplasty for isolated type 1 bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) repair. Electrocardiogram (ECG)-gated computed tomography (CT) was used to compare the two techniques and analyze their impact on the aortic annulus. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 20 patients who underwent isolated type 1 BAV repair with either internal or external suture annuloplasty. Each group included 10 patients with comparable clinical features. Preoperative and postoperative ECG-gated CT scans were performed to assess the anatomical relationship between the ventricular-aortic junction (VAJ) and virtual basal ring (VBR), and to measure the height of annuloplasty from the VBR at predefined landmarks in both groups. Perioperative annular geometries, including annular area and perimeter, were measured to quantify the impact of annuloplasty on annular expansibility. The discrepancy between the postoperative annular dimension and size of the Hegar dilator were compared between groups to evaluate the effectiveness of annuloplasty. Results: In both groups, VAJ was higher than VBR at the right coronary (RC) ostium (7.7 ± 3.3 mm) and the raphe (7.9 ± 1.5 mm). The height from the VBR to the external suture annuloplasty shared a similar pattern at the RC ostium and raphe (5.3 ± 1.1 mm and 4.8 ± 1.0 mm, respectively). In contrast, the height differences were minimal for these landmarks in the internal group. Postoperative annular area expansibility decreased in the internal group compared to preoperative levels (4.9 ± 2.3% vs. 8.9 ± 5.5%, p = 0.038), while no significant change was found in the external group (7.6 ± 4.1% vs. 6.5 ± 2.8%, p = 0.473). The internal group showed less area discrepancy between the VBR and the Hegar dilator both at systole (10.1 ± 3.7% vs. 30.1 ± 16.6%, p = 0.004) and diastole (5.7 ± 4.9% vs. 20.9 ± 14.5%, p = 0.009) compared to the external group. Conclusions: Internal suture annuloplasty results in better positioning relative to the VBR than external suture annuloplasty due to the absence of VAJ interference. While this results in more precise annular reduction and less expansibility in the short term, a long-term follow-up evaluation is necessary to assess its effectiveness.
A Critical Content Analysis of Racial and Cultural Bias In Early Childhood Education Teacher Preparation Textbooks
Authors: Turner Crystasany , Turner Michele
Published: June 2023

  

Through critical race theory (CRT) in education, this critical content analysis examines three textbooks used in an early childhood teacher education program. Findings illustrate how the textbooks propagate notions of white superiority and the normalcy of mainstream white, middle-class values through six distinct, yet intersecting forms of racial and cultural biases—presumption of deficit, selective xenophobia, assumption of privilege, coded language/invisible words, statistical violence, and cultural shaming. In discussion, the authors encourage teacher educators to 1) engage in critical reflection toward unlearning whiteness; 2) offer diverse perspectives in their instructional material; and 3) empower teacher candidates to critique the curricular material provided toward dismantling white supremacy in early childhood teacher preparation.

Islam tersebar secara intensif, pada abad XVI ketika Khatib Dayan memimpin pasukan Demak untuk membantu Pangeran Samudra yang tengah perseteruan politik dalam memperebutkan kekuasaan dengan pamannya. Bernama Pangeran Temanggung. Pangeran Samudra dibantu oleh Khatib Dayan berhasil mengalahkan pamannya. Pasca kemenangannya akhimya Pangeran Samudra memeluk agama Islam dan ditasbihkan menjadi sultan pertama dan bergelar Sultan Suriansyah di Kesultanan Banjar dengan ibukota Banjarmasin. Islam kemudian menjadi ideologi Kesultanan Banjarmasin. Fenomena ini mengisyaratkan, bahwa Islam oleh Sultan Suriansyah dijadikan basis untuk membangun budaya bernegara yang di dalamnya termasuk penataan masyarakat.

The results showed that gender did not have a significant effect on MSME income. Meanwhile, capital expenditure has an effect on MSME income.
The Effect of Trand Fashion on Consumptive Patterns of Female Students (Case Study of KPI Study Program Students at UIN Gusdur)
Authors: Vatih Nur Lailatul
Published: June 2023

This research was studied because it saw the number of female students majoring in Islamic Broadcasting Communication at UIN KH Abdurrahman Wahid Pekalongan who behaved consumptively towards today's fashion trends. That's because the goods purchased tend to be based on a sense of desire, not for needs. This study aims to reveal the effect that female students have on consumptive patterns in following current fashion trends. This study uses the behavior theory of BF Skinner. This type of research was studied using qualitative methods with a case study approach. Informants in this study were determined by porpusive sampling technique and female students of the Islamic Broadcasting Communication Study Program who were still active in college were the subjects. Data collection techniques were carried out by observation and interviews. Data analysis techniques were carried out through three stages, namely data reduction, data presentation and conclusions. The results of this study reveal that the presence of fashion trends among students influences their consumption patterns. Female students who follow today's fashion trends tend to be impulse buying, meaning that they buy goods based on their own desires, not because of their secondary needs. However, the effects on the psychological aspects are more self-confidence, forms of self-expression, personal branding, self-existence and happiness. This means that the purchase of goods is based on self-desire not because of secondary needs. However, the effects on the psychological aspects are more self-confidence, forms of self-expression, personal branding, self-existence and happiness. This means that the purchase of goods is based on self-desire not because of secondary needs.

Penyalahgunaan kekuasaan pada dunia politik yang kerap dilakukan oleh pelaku politik menimbulkan pandangan bahwa tujuan utama berpartisipasi politik hanyalah untuk mendapatkan kekuasaan (Paramita, P.

Rewards can be costly: extrinsic rewards are not beneficial during autonomous learning
Authors: van Lieshout Lieke , Colizoli Olympia , Holman Tony , Kühnert Florian , Bekkering Harold
Published: June 2023

Intrinsic factors like the feeling of control and extrinsic factors like monetary reward can both benefit learning. However, little is known about whether both effects are additive, or interact to affect learning performance. To shed light on this open question, 36 participants took part in an explorative learning task during which they viewed partially obscured images that they needed to subsequently remember. During the learning task, autonomy, operationalised as volitional control over an exploration trajectory, and the chance to receive monetary rewards were independently manipulated. The learning task was followed by a memory test. The results demonstrated that autonomy benefits recognition memory. Rewards also improved recognition memory, but only when participants were not acting autonomously. These findings have important implications for educational settings, in which both autonomy and extrinsic rewards (i.e., grades) are commonly used to motivate students.
Touch and play—'spiritual attacks' in ayahuasca ceremonies
Authors: Turkia Mika
Published: June 2023

This article describes a case of a 'spiritual attack' in the context of Amazonian ayahuasca ceremonies. These attacks are often assumed to be imaginary, and there is relatively little information available about them. Specifically, there appears to be no documentation about possible mechanisms of action for these attacks. Subjectively, they typically appear as context-dependent visions or somatic sensations that represent disease-inducing or lethal interventions from an external hostile party. Such 'spiritual attacks' could tentatively be conceptualized as subjective mental representations of fundamental disagreements between two parties. 'Defenses' against these attacks might then consist of methods for maintaining stability and resolving the associated negative affects. This discussion could facilitate an improved understanding of this rarely documented, difficult-to-conceptualize phenomenon.

Previous research on sports performance has mostly been conducted: (a) at a single point, or at most, a few points in time, (b) on the group level, and (c) as a causal chain of monodisciplinary predictor and outcome variables. In the present research, we argue and demonstrate that the next important step should be to monitor, analyze, and visualize the dynamic and individual-specific interactions of multidisciplinary determinants of sports performance. Hence, we apply a recently developed analytical approach, that is, (Time-Varying) Vector-AutoRegressive ((TV)-VAR) modeling, which captures the intra-individual interactions and changes of multidisciplinary determinants. We first measured critical psychological (e.g., self-efficacy) and physiological (e.g., heart rate) factors among youth male football (soccer) players at a professional club, on a daily basis across one season. Next, we assessed the temporal dynamics of the factors with (TV-)VAR models, and visualized the findings in network graphs. We highlight the results of two players, showing how multidisciplinary key determinants of sports performance dynamically evolve across a sports season, that is, interact and change in individual-specific ways over time. For instance, the results of player 1 revealed a stable network across the season in which self-efficacy was the strongest predictor of other determinants, whereas this was not the case for player 2. These new insights improve our understanding of how key determinants of sports performance are dynamically related in individual athletes and may allow practitioners to develop and implement person-specific interventions at the right time.
Distincția dintre falsificare și respingere în problema demarcației la Karl Popper
Authors: Sfetcu Nicolae
Published: June 2023

În ciuda criticilor teoriei falsificabilității propuse de Karl Popper pentru demarcarea între știință și ne-știință, în principal pseudoștiință, acest criteriu este încă foarte util, și perfect valabil după perfecționarea lui de către Popper și adepții lui. Mai mult, chiar și în versiunea sa inițială, considerată de Lakatos ca ”dogmatică”, Popper nu a afirmat că această metodologie este un criteriu absolut de demarcare: un singur contra-exemplu nu este suficient pentru a falsifica o teorie; mai mult, o teorie poate fi salvată în mod legitim de falsificare prin introducerea unei ipoteze auxiliare. În comparație cu teoria lui Kuhn a revoluțiilor, de care el însuși s-a dezis ulterior transformând-o într-o teorie a ”micro-revoluțiilor”, consider că metodologia de demarcare a lui Popper, împreună cu dezvoltarea ulterioară propusă de acesta, inclusiv coroborarea și verosimilitudinea, deși imperfectă, nu numai că este valabilă și azi, dar este încă cea mai bună metodologie de demarcare. Pentru argumentare, m-am folosit de principalele lucrări ale lui Popper care tratează această problemă, și a principalilor săi critici și susținători. După o scurtă prezentare a lui Karl Popper, și o introducere în problema demarcației și metodologia falsificabilității, trec în revistă principalele critici aduse și argumentele susținătorilor săi, accentuând pe ideea că Popper nu a pus niciodată semnul egalității între falsificare și respingere. În final prezint propriile concluziile în această problemă.

S-au construit antene barogene criogenice și antene interferometrice laser performante, asociate cu analiza teoretică a experimentelor cu masele de testare, rezultând că sensibilitatea experimentelor depinde de izolarea termică, dacă dispozitivul înregistrează continuu coordonatele sensibilitatea antenei este limitată, și se poate crește sensibilitatea dacă se folosesc proceduri cuantice. Antenele pot ajuta în observarea radiației gravitaționale de fond și testarea relativității generale în cazul ultra-neliniar.
White Nationalism, Politically Motivated Reasoning, and Americans’ Attitudes About Criminally Charging Donald Trump
Authors: Sloan Melissa , Haner Murat , Pickett Justin , Cullen Francis T.
Published: June 2023

On December 19, 2022, the United States House Select Committee referred former president Donald Trump to the Department of Justice for criminal prosecution. Subsequently, Mr. Trump was indicted four times and charged with 91 felonies. Nevertheless, some Americans have remained steadfast in supporting him. Observers theorize that indifference to Mr. Trump’s wrongdoing reflects white nationalism and politically motivated reasoning. We test this theory using experimental data from a national survey fielded before any public hearings or charges. Our analyses reveal that Americans who endorse white nationalism and those who hold right-wing political views tend to oppose criminal charges. Furthermore, the relationship between white nationalism and attitudes about criminally charging Mr. Trump is indirect, through identification with the political right.
What knowledge does ChatGPT have regarding open science, and can it provide good advice about it?
Authors: Nazarovets Serhii , Teixeira da Silva Jaime A.
Published: June 2023

The open science movement is gaining traction, but is not without its share of resistance and challenges, both human and structural. In this paper, we set out to discover if recently hyped AI software, ChatGPT, was able to provide an appreciation of open science and relevant literature, while offering suitable advice to overcome some of its current challenges. While ChatGPT provided well-versed advice and suggestions, even providing pertinent literature when prompted, a few issues reduced the reliability of its answers and thus its usefulness as a scientific educational tool: 1) some important themes related to open science were not covered; 2) a bias towards psychological research was observed; 3) ChatGPT created a few fictitious bibliographic sources.
Hooke's claim on the law of gravity
Authors: Sfetcu Nicolae
Published: June 2023

Based on Galileo's experiments, Newton develops the theory of gravity in his first book Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica ("Principia") of 1686. Immediately after, Robert Hooke accused Newton of plagiarism, claiming that he unduly assumed his "notion" of "the rule of the decrease of Gravity, being reciprocally as the squares of the distances from the Center". But, according to Edmond ley, Hooke agreed that "the demonstration of the curves generated by it" belongs entirely to Newton.

Yet, political entrepreneurs did not call for the disbanding of a decades-old social welfare-oriented policy model. Instead, what emerged was a multi-paradigmatic client-service/citizen-rights model drawing from established core (neo) liberal values of independence and productivity underlying and expanding the rehabilitation mandate. The way rights came onto the policy agenda had important implications for subsequent policymaking where a separate-and-unequal system of civil rights excluded people with disabilities from a more robust civil rights policy community and later, a human rights framework. The development of disability policy highlights important aspects of policy agenda setting and the role (and limitations) of institutional entrepreneurship in generating policy half-solutions susceptible to retrenchment efforts, and the role of citizen mobilization in protecting policy from downstream reversals.

În prezent, organizațiile trebuie să facă față, pe lângă o concurență sporită, și unei dezvoltări și inovații tehnologice exponențiale, și unor procese de schimbare care afectează toate stările emoționale ale angajaților. Toate aceste provocări, împreună cu schimbările impuse și complexitatea sarcinilor organizaționale și manageriale, implică noi exigențe emoționale și acțiuni mai eficiente la nivel corporativ, inclusiv prin gestionarea emoțiilor în cele mai multe circumstanțe. Astfel, emoțiile reprezintă „resurse” valoroase pentru inovație și valoare adăugată într-un proces economic. Emoțiilor li s-a acordat astfel un rol important în provocarea, moderarea sau medierea evenimentelor și interacțiunilor în organizații.

Saat ini hampir sebagian besar Perguruan Tinggi menggunakan sistem untuk proses penerimaan mahasiswa baru dengan tujuan untuk memudahkan dalam proses pendaftaran dan juga proses pengelolaan data. Namun, penyelenggaraan penerimaan mahasiswa baru yang saat ini berjalan di STKIP PGRI Jombang masih dilakukan secara manual yaitu dilakukan dengan cara calon mahasiswa baru datang ke kampus kemudian melakukan pendaftaran dengan cara mengisi formulir berupa lembaran kertas, setelah itu calon mahasiswa diminta untuk melengkapi berkas persyaratan yang dimana berkas-berkas tersebut nantinya disimpan didalam lemari. Hal ini yang dapat menyulitkan pihak kampus dikarenakan akan mengakibatkan berkas tersebut hilang atau rentan adanya kerusakan. Selain itu, proses pencarian dan pengelolaan data pun menjadi tidak efektif dan efisien serta membutuhkan waktu yang lama. Oleh karena itu dengan melihat kendala tersebut, penulis merancang sebuah sistem untuk mempermudah dalam proses pendaftaran mahasiswa baru berbasis web. Metode penelitian yang digunakan oleh penulis yaitu metode waterfall. Metode waterfall menyediakan pendekatan alur hidup perangkat lunak secara terurut, dimulai dari analisis kebutuhan perangkat lunak, desain, pembuatan kode program hingga pengujian. Sehingga dapat membantu dalam proses pembuatan sistem informasi penerimaan mahasiswa baru. Bahasa Pemrograman yang digunakan yaitu PHP dengan menggunakan framework codeigniter. Hasil dari penelitian ini adalah sistem informasi penerimaan mahasiswa baru berbasis web dapat memudahkan calon mahasiswa baru dalam melakukan pendaftaran yang dapat dilakukan kapan saja dan dimana saja serta memudahkan tim PMB dalam proses pencarian data dan pengelolaan data sehingga menjadi lebih efektif dan efisien.

India's shopping scene has changed a lot in the last few decades, especially since modern shopping malls have opened in most of the country's big cities. These stores have become places where people go to relax, have fun, and shop. They meet the changing needs and wants of the growing middle class. The goal of this study is to find out what makes malls so famous and how consumer behavior in this age group is changing over time. The study is based on a thorough review of the existing literature and surveys and interviews with middle-class shoppers in urban areas to get first-hand information. The research shows that the Indian middle class has embraced the mall culture for many reasons, such as the convenience of being able to buy everything in one place, the ability to buy foreign brands, better infrastructure, and better shopping experiences. Malls have a lot to offer, from clothing and electronics to food and leisure. They have everything a customer could want under one roof. The study also shows some interesting shopping habits and tastes of people in the middle class. It looks at how income levels, changes in living, and exposure to global trends affect what people buy. The research shows how quality, brand awareness, and the move from traditional markets to organized retail spaces are becoming more important. The study also talks about how social media, e-commerce, and digital marketing affect how people in the middle class shop and what they decide to buy. Understanding how the middle class in India's shopping habits are changing and how mall culture is growing is important for marketers, retailers, and lawmakers. It gives businesses useful information about what customers want, so they can change their tactics and products to meet those needs. The results also shed light on the socioeconomic changes, lifestyle changes, and goals of India's middle class. This helps us learn more about how India's retail landscape is changing.

Helicobacter pylori (H. Pylori) is one of the most common infectious human pathogens. H. pylori could induce inflammation, that causes illnesses and disorders of upper gastrointestinal which including peptic ulcer diseases, dyspepsia, gastroesophageal reflux disease and gastric mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma. It is important to use a better tolerated and greatly effective eradication regimen. In this study, 75 newly diagnosed adult patients with H. pylori infection were included and completed the study, they were allocated into three groups with three different treatment regimens for H. pylori eradications; Group A (25 patients) received oral standard clarithromycin-based triple therapy for 14 days. Group B (25 patients) received oral bismuth based-quadruple therapy for 10 days. Group C (25 patients) received oral moxifloxacin-based triple therapy for 14 days. The results reported in this study indicated a significant higher eradication rate of Group B and Group C (84% and 80%, respectively) of patients with H. pylori infections compared to that of Group A (52%). The incidence of adverse effects were appeared as 72%, 64% and 24% of patients in group A, B and C respectively. The use of moxifloxacin triple regimen for H. pylori eradication, present with eradication efficacy parallel to that of quadruple regimen which were significantly higher compared to that of clarithromycin triple regimen. Also moxifloxacin triple therapy is more tolerable and does not increase the incidence of overall adverse effects compared to other regimens used in this study.

Therapeutic contact lenses TCLs is an approach used to enhance corneal residence time and reduce frequent instillation, which is a problem with eye drops.  The problem with CLs is loading of hydrophobic drugs. In this research the CLs were prepared with molecular imprinting MI to enhance the loading of itraconazole, which is used as antifungal drug for fungal keratitis. CLs using different  concentration of hydroxyethyl methacrylate HEMA and methacrylic acid MAA were prepared with and without MI using PEGDA (25 μL) and AIBN (37 mg) as crosslinker and initiator respectively. All the prepared CLs were clear and have good folding endurance. MICLs had significantly higher drug loading compared to conventional CLs. The release of itraconazole from MICLs was sustained compared to conventional CLs. The optimum formula chosen had 8% MAA due to maximum drug loading (1077 μg) compared to non-MI (288 μg) and sustained release for more than 24 h. MI was successfully utilized as a tool to enhance the loading of poorly water soluble drug into a hydrogel CL.
