Tu sijè magnète. Hesse ha ite: some morphosyntactic characteristics of the verb in Ortonese compared with Italian
Authors: Tucci Emiliana
Published: September 2024

Introduction: The verb is one of the most complex grammatical categories, especially when the language in question is not official. This is the case with Ortonese, an Adriatic variant of Abruzzese spoken in Ortona (CH). The aim of this article is to provide a preliminary detailed analysis of the verb in Ortonese, starting with a morphosyntactic description compared to Italian. Methodology: The analysis begins by dividing Ortonese verbs into four main conjugations. Several relevant linguistic phenomena are examined, such as the transitivization of intransitive verbs, the presence of the prepositional accusative in verbs like "sendì" (to hear), which is absent in Italian, and the transformation of transitive and intransitive verbs into reflexive forms. Additionally, differences between "esse" (to be) and "sctè" (to stay), and between "avè" (to have) and "tenè" (to hold) are analyzed. Results: The core of the research is the analysis of all the tenses of the indicative mood in modern Ortonese. Simple tenses, such as the present and future, as well as compound tenses, like the future perfect, the present perfect, and the past perfect, are examined. The study also includes some irregular verbs and pays particular attention to the complexity of auxiliary selection, which in Ortonese, unlike Italian, depends not on the type of verb but on the subject's person. Discussion: The Ortonese verbal system exhibits a number of unique characteristics compared to standard Italian, particularly in terms of auxiliary selection and the formation of reflexive verbs. Some phenomena, such as the prepositional accusative and the distinction between "esse" and "sctè", reflect a structural complexity that warrants further investigation and highlights the linguistic richness of Abruzzese dialects. Conclusions: This study represents a first step towards a deeper understanding of the Ortonese verbal system. The morphosyntactic analysis compared to Italian reveals linguistic peculiarities that distinguish Ortonese as a dialectal variety of great interest to linguistics.
Historical review of inclusive educational theories through digital archives
Authors: Sánchez Blanco Laura , Lugones Hoya Ana
Published: September 2024

Introduction: This study is framed in the field of social inclusion of people with disabilities, following the guidelines of the United Nations Convention (2006) and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the 2030 Agenda. The main objective is to provide a historical overview of inclusive theories to undestand their social impact and their application in the educational field. Methodology: The methodology is qualitative and is approached from a hermeneutic-interpretative perspective, based on the analysis of bibliographic and documentary sources. Results: Among the results obtained, the sources found and the organisations that advocate for the social model of functional diversity stand out. However, for its actual implementation, more support resources are required in the educational sphere. Discussions: The digitization of archival materials demonstrates that knowledge becomes accessible when adapted to an open publication format, which can be accessed anywhere.  Conclusions: The creation of an open-access learning resource repository is another inclusive measure proposed, to share adapted materials. Following the principles of the SDGs, a successful sustainable development program is achieved by creating partnerships with civil society and promoting initiatives that reduce inequalities.

Indo-American Relations during Donald Trump Era: Implications for Pakistan
Authors: Shahbaz Maryam , Mustafa Ghulam , Liaqat Bilal Bin
Published: September 2024

The Indo-American relations during the Donald Trump era undertook a noteworthy transformation, from January 20, 2017, to January 20, 2021. Major components of the relationship between Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and American President Donald Trump and the implications of their relationship for Pakistan are stated in this research. Throughout Trump's Presidency, there was a fusion of worries and strategic collaborations in Indo-US relations. The American administration recognized and admitted India as a vital player in the Indo-Pacific region to counterbalance China's rising influence there. This was mirrored in the "2+2" dialogues and the "Howdy Modi" event as these events indicated the firming of economic, military, and political assistance. The extending Indo-American cooperation carried serious implications for Pakistan's traditional alliance with the United States. The United States forced Pakistan to address subjects like terrorism and stability of the region and this pressure stressed bilateral ties.

Published: September 2024

OBJECTIVE

Patients with serum albumin levels < 3.5 g/dL are considered malnourished, but there is a paucity of data regarding the outcomes of patients with albumin levels > 3.5 g/dL. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of albumin on postoperative outcome in patients undergoing elective cervical and lumbar spine procedures.

METHODS

The Michigan Spine Surgery Improvement Collaborative database was queried for lumbar and cervical fusion surgeries between January 2020 and December 2022. Patients were grouped by preoperative serum albumin levels: < 3.5 g/dL, 3.5–3.7 g/dL, 3.8–4.0 g/dL, and > 4.0 g/dL. Primary outcomes included urinary retention, ileus, dysphagia, surgical site infection (SSI), readmission within 30 and 90 days, return to the operating room, and length of stay (LOS) ≥ 4 days. Multivariate analysis was conducted to adjust for potential confounders.

RESULTS

This study included 15,629 lumbar cases and 6889 cervical cases. Within the lumbar cohort, an albumin level of 3.5–3.7 g/dL was associated with an increased risk of readmission at 30 days (p = 0.048) and 90 days (p = 0.005) and an LOS ≥ 4 days (p < 0.001). An albumin level of 3.8–4.0 g/dL was associated with an increased risk of an LOS ≥ 4 days (p < 0.001). Within the cervical cohort, an albumin level of 3.5–3.7 g/dL was associated with an increased risk of SSI (p = 0.023), readmission at 30 days (p < 0.002) and 90 days (p < 0.001), return to the operating room (p = 0.002), and an LOS ≥ 4 days (p < 0.001). An albumin level of 3.8–4.0 g/dL was associated with an increased risk of readmission at 30 days (p = 0.012) and 90 days (p = 0.001) and an LOS ≥ 4 days (p < 0.001).

CONCLUSIONS

This study maintains that patients with hypoalbunemia undergoing spine surgery are at risk for postoperative adverse events. However, there also exist significant associations between borderline serum albumin levels of 3.5–4.0 g/dL and increased risk of postoperative adverse events.

OBJECTIVE

Myelopathy in the cervical spine can present with diverse symptoms, many of which can be debilitating for patients. Patients with radiculopathy symptoms demonstrate added complexity because of the overlapping symptoms and treatment considerations. The authors sought to assess outcomes in patients with myelopathy presenting with or without concurrent radiculopathy.

METHODS

The Quality Outcomes Database, a prospectively collected multi-institutional database, was used to analyze demographic, clinical, and surgical variables of patients presenting with myelopathy or myeloradiculopathy as a result of degenerative pathology. Outcome measures included arm (VAS-arm) and neck (VAS-neck) visual analog scale (VAS) scores, modified Japanese Orthopaedic Association (mJOA) scale score, EuroQol VAS (EQ-VAS) score, and Neck Disability Index (NDI) at 3, 12, and 24 months compared with baseline.

RESULTS

A total of 1015 patients were included in the study: 289 patients with myelopathy alone (M0), 239 with myeloradiculopathy but no arm pain (MRAP−), and 487 patients with myeloradiculopathy and arm pain (MRAP+). M0 patients were older than the myeloradiculopathy cohorts combined (M0 64.2 vs MRAP− + MRAP+ 59.5 years, p < 0.001), whereas MRAP+ patients had higher BMI and a greater incidence of current smoking compared with the other cohorts. There were more anterior approaches used in in MRAP+ patients and more posterior approaches used in M0 patients. In severely myelopathic patients (mJOA scale score ≤ 10), posterior approaches were used more often for M0 (p < 0.0001) and MRAP+ (p < 0.0001) patients. Patients with myelopathy and myeloradiculopathy both exhibited significant improvement at 1 and 2 years across all outcome domains. The amount of improvement did not vary based on surgical approach. In comparing cohort outcomes, postoperative outcome differences were associated with patient-reported scores at baseline.

CONCLUSIONS

Patients with myelopathy and those with myeloradiculopathy demonstrated significant and similar improvement in arm and neck pain scores, myelopathy, disability, and quality of life at 3 months that was sustained at 1- and 2-year follow-up intervals. More radicular symptoms and arm pain increased the likelihood of a surgeon choosing an anterior approach, whereas more severe myelopathy increased the likelihood of approaching posteriorly. Surgical approach itself was not an independent predictor of outcome.

Authors: Kotlova E. R. , Senik S. V. , Kozlova I. V. , Serebryakov E. B.
Published: September 2024

A targeted lipidomics analysis of four classes of membrane glycerolipids was carried out in two species of Cycadaceae from the genus Cycas – C. revoluta and C. rumphii. The analysis of the molecular diversity of the main phospholipids, which are the components of extra-chloroplast membranes, has revealed archaic features, including a high level of molecular species containing C18:1 fatty acids (typical of Ginkgo biloba), increased relative content of molecular species with odd fatty acids C17:0 and C19:0 (typical of non-seed plants). At the same time, the analysis of the molecular diversity of the glycolipids which are the components of chloroplast membranes, did not find significant differences from most seed plants, which indicates a higher conservation of lipids of a photosynthetic apparatus. The identified features of the molecular composition of glycerolipids of two species of Cycas indicate the prospectiveness of using lipidomics for taxonomic and phylogenetic studies, with the data on the molecular composition of phosphatidylcholines, for which the greatest heterogeneity and species-specificity was demonstrated, deserving the most attention.

Crisis and stabilization dynamics of mass consciousness in Russian society
Authors: Savin Sergey D.
Published: September 2024

The article raises the question of the connection between social changes and mass consciousness dynamics. The cyclical nature of social development involves a transition through crisis-stabilisation phases reflected in varying ways in the mass consciousness’ intentions. Various types of mass consciousness are distinguished depending on the focus either on changes or conventions, development or crisis, social activity or passivity. The role of stabilisation consciousness in the context of social changes and systemic challenges is analysed. It is shown that stabilising consciousness plays a vital amortisation role during crises. The analysis of crisis and stabilisation dynamics in mass consciousness of Russian society is provided based on the materials of monitoring studies of the Institute of Sociology of the Federal Research Centre of the Russian Academy of Sciences and other Russian sociological centres. It is concluded that in Russian society for more than two decades the dominant type of mass consciousness has been stabilization consciousness, but fluctuations in its parameters either bring it closer to crisis consciousness or to development consciousness. Such frequent cycles are characteristic for a trauma society or a society with a low level of stability without any specific development trajectory.
Sociological theories of everyday life as a tool for researching silence practices
Authors: Spirkina Anastasiya K.
Published: September 2024

The article reveals heuristic possibilities and analyzes the results of applying the conceptual apparatus of the sociology of everyday life to understanding the practices of silence. Sociological theories of everyday life are presented in the article by the concepts of social phenomenology of A. Schutz, dramaturgy and frame analysis of E. Goffman and an ethnomethodological approach, which includes both the ethnomethodology of H. Garfinkel, and conversation analysis, the founders of which are considered to be H. Sacks and E. Schegloff. Thus, the subject of the article is a wide range of concepts united by a qualitative research paradigm. This choice is justified by the high adaptability of this set of theories to the analysis of observed and «sounding» silence as a real phenomenon given us in the direct human experience. Used in everyday social life, silence is included in the processes of the everyday world thus becoming a part of the (re)production mechanism at the micro level social order.

Published: September 2024

Drainage pit merupakan komponen penting pada Pembangkit Listrik Tenaga Air (PLTA) untuk menampung kebocoran dari berbagai komponen, seperti turbin. Karena banyaknya komponen yang berpotensi bocor, drainage pit sangat diperlukan untuk menampung air yang bocor dari sistem lainnya. Tujuan dari proyek akhir ini adalah untuk mempermudah pemantauan laju aliran serta kebocoran yang terjadi di drainage pit, serta mempermudah pengecekan ketinggian air di reservoir agar tidak terjadi banjir. Metode pembuatan prototipe sistem pompa otomatis berbasis mikrokontroler pada drainage pit melalui beberapa tahapan: (1) merancang prototipe sistem pompa otomatis, (2) merancang sistem kontrol, dan (3) melakukan pengujian. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa sistem pompa otomatis efektif mengatasi masalah drainase dengan mengoptimalkan penggunaan pompa sesuai dengan ketinggian air dan kebocoran. Berdasarkan hasil pengujian, sistem ini beroperasi otomatis ketika ketinggian air mencapai 35 cm. Pada kebocoran kecil (50% bukaan), hanya satu pompa yang beroperasi. Penggunaan energi terbesar terjadi pada uji kedua selama 175 detik dengan kebocoran 36,29 dan konsumsi energi 0,052, sedangkan penggunaan energi terkecil terjadi pada uji pertama selama 172 detik dengan kebocoran 36,9 dan konsumsi energi 0,0248. Ketika tingkat kebocoran meningkat (100% bukaan), kedua pompa beroperasi secara otomatis. Penggunaan energi terbesar terjadi pada uji ketiga selama 356 detik dengan kebocoran 17,99 dan konsumsi energi 0,0259, sedangkan penggunaan energi terkecil terjadi pada uji kedua selama 349 detik dengan kebocoran 18,25 dan konsumsi energi 0,0255.

Published: September 2024

Functional status means the ability to perform self-care, self-maintenance, and daily activity. Older adults are at risk of experiencing a decline in functional status regarding their condition and other factors.  The study literature found no clear evidence of the factors related functional status of older adults, especially those who have comorbid and regularly come to the geriatric clinic in the Primary Health Care Center. This study aimed to identify the prevalence and factors related to the functional status of older people who visit geriatric out-patient in the primary health care center. A cross-sectional design was utilized to assess 100 samples of older adult patients in one Primary Health Care Center, in Indonesia. The functional status of the respondent was good where the mean score was 7.45 (SD = 1.07) with a minimum score was 2, and a maximum score was 8. The mean age of the sample was 66 years old, the gender was primarily women (59%), the education level of the respondents was more likely only reach elementary school (45%), and primarily they consume drugs (71%) and also more than a half of respondent have multimorbidity (60%). The model fit of multivariate analysis resulted in 44% of all the variables giving effect to the functional status where the most influential factor was balance and health status of the older adults.
Discussion: More than half of the older people who regularly visit the Primary Health Care Center have an excellent functional status. This condition is in accordance with the experience of older people itself who most of them could come to the clinic independently by public or private transportation. Older people who have good health or balance status and less morbidity also show a good performance in functional status, though, their age was older. All the variables give 44% effects of older people’s functional status where the most influential factor for functional status of the older adults was balance status. Therefore, the accessibility of health services for the older adult in the community can be improved by providing more elderly-friendly health facilities.

Los trastornos temporomandibulares (TTM) se caracterizan por presentar alteraciones en la articulación temporomandibular, como dolor, cambios morfológicos y limitaciones funcionales, entre otros. Cuando ocurre un trauma, alteraciones psicosociales u hormonales, el eje hipotálamo-hipofisario-suprarrenal (HPA) activa una cascada de reacciones que conduce a una mayor secreción de cortisol por parte de las glándulas suprarrenales. Esto resulta en una mayor producción de células inflamatorias en la articulación temporomandibular (ATM). Por lo tanto, se considera que uno de los factores etiológicos de los TTM es el aumento prolongado de cortisol.

Objetivo del estudio: Construir y validar una herramienta para medir el nivel de satisfacción en la atención odontológica. Materiales y métodos: Se va a valorar el nivel de satisfacción de pacientes durante la atención odontológica mediante la construcción de 10 preguntas cuantitativas las cuales van a tener una respuesta en escala. En el proceso de validación, se compartió un cuestionario con expertos en campos relacionados con las áreas de la salud, evaluaron las preguntas siguiendo cuatro criterios: claridad, coherencia, relevancia y suficiencia. Estos cuatro aspectos propuestos se consideran adecuados para una evaluación completa de la confiabilidad y la validez. Resultados: Los expertos analizaron la adhesión de las preguntas de todos los principios mediante la consideración de los cuatro estándares fundamentales. La validez de fiabilidad se obtuvo mediante el coeficiente de Alfa de Cronbach que fue 0,639 inicialmente con los 10 ítems, pero se decidió eliminar el primer ítem para obtener un alfa de Cronbach 0,790 obteniendo un instrumento fiable.  Conclusión: Es esencial abordar esta problemática desde la perspectiva del usuario. Aunque la subjetividad de la satisfacción presenta desafíos en su medición, es crucial presentar perspectivas de manera objetiva basadas en investigaciones. Varios autores actuales ofrecen directrices basadas en la satisfacción del usuario, adaptándolas a contextos socioculturales específicos para generar cambios positivos en instituciones, especialmente en la educación.
Utility of ultrasound in the perioperative phase of carotid endarterectomy and carotid artery stent implantation

Published: September 2024

BACKGROUND: This article reviews the latest research results of the use of ultrasound technology in the perioperative period of carotid endarterectomy and carotid stenting and discusses the role of ultrasound technology in accurately evaluating carotid stenosis and plaque stability, assisting in selecting the most suitable surgical method, and providing optimal perioperative imaging to guide carotid endarterectomy (CEA) and carotid artery stenting (CAS) to reduce the occurrence and progression of stroke. METHODS: The research published in recent years on the application of ultrasound in the perioperative period of CEA and CAS was reviewed through the databases of CNKI, Pubmed, and Web of Science. RESULTS: Ultrasound has high clinical value in preoperative screening for indications, assessing the degree of carotid artery stenosis and the nature of plaque; monitoring hemodynamic changes intraoperatively to prevent cerebral ischemia or overperfusion; and evaluating surgical outcomes postoperatively and in late follow-up review. CONCLUSION: Ultrasound is currently widely used perioperatively in CEA and CAS and has even become the preferred choice of clinicians to evaluate the efficacy of surgery and follow-up. The presence of vulnerable plaque is an important risk factor for ischemic stroke. Contrast-enhanced ultrasound is an excellent tool to assess plaque stability. In most studies, ultrasound has been used only in a short follow-up period after CEA and CAS, and data from longer follow-ups are needed to provide more reliable evidence.
Alzheimer’s Disease: An Attempt of Total Recall

Published: September 2024

This review is an attempt to compile existing hypotheses on the mechanisms underlying the initiation and progression of Alzheimer’s disease (AD), starting from sensory impairments observed in AD and concluding with molecular events that are typically associated with the disease. These events include spreading of amyloid plaques and tangles of hyperphosphorylated tau and formation of Hirano and Biondi bodies as well as the development of oxidative stress. We have detailed the degenerative changes that occur in several neuronal populations, including the cholinergic neurons in the nucleus basalis of Meynert, the histaminergic neurons in the tuberomammillary nucleus, the serotonergic neurons in the raphe nuclei, and the noradrenergic neurons in the locus coeruleus. Furthermore, we discuss the potential role of iron accumulation in the brains of subjects with AD in the disease progression which served as a basis for the idea that iron chelation in the brain may mitigate oxidative stress and decelerate disease development. We also draw attention to possible role of sympathetic system and, more specifically, noradrenergic neurons of the superior cervical ganglion in triggering of the disease. We also explore the alternative possibility of compensatory protective changes that may occur in these neurons to support cholinergic function in the forebrain of subjects with AD.
Adverse Events as a Cause of Unblinding of Allocated Arms in Anti-Amyloid Therapy Trials: A Meta-Analysis of the Predictive Value

Anti-amyloid drugs for early Alzheimer’s disease, including lecanemab, are associated with adverse events (AEs), such as amyloid-related imaging abnormalities (ARIA)-edema/effusion (E), ARIA-hemorrhage, and infusion-related reactions, which can indicate allocated arms in clinical trials. Herein, we evaluated the predictive value of AEs using a meta-analysis to estimate their incidence and simulated positive predictive value (PPV). The PPV for ARIA-E was high (0.915), but that for ARIA hemorrhage was low (0.630). Infusion-related reactions had a high PPV of 0.910, but with a wide confidence interval. Our results suggest the need to ameliorate the unblinding effects of AEs, particularly ARIA-E in trials.
Winding Back the Clock on Advanced Therapies: It’s Time to Get Smart

Our language affects patients’ perceptions of therapies. In Parkinson’s disease, emergent response fluctuations and dyskinesias typically trigger conversations around commencing an “ Advanced Therapy” which carries notions of Advanced Disease. The patient, resolute in their commitment to fighting the disease, is misled. Chasing reassurance that their disease has not yet progressed considerably; they may therefore resist a potentially life-changing therapy. Instead, we should offer a “ Smart Therapy”. This term more accurately and positively describes therapies on offer that stabilize response fluctuations and improve quality of life, without a focus on the negative connotations of progression to more advanced disease.

Published: September 2024

This article discusses the use of perfluorinated sulfamides in various technological processes. The potential of aminotoxane as a catalyst in the cyclohexane oxidation process was studied. The use of aminotoxane significantly shifts the distribution of target products in cyclohexane oxidation, favoring increased alcohol formation. This catalytic system is distinct from those involving crown ethers and polyglycols, suggesting a specific mechanism of influence by perfluorinated sulfamides on the intermediate stages of radical-chain oxidation. For the by-product adipic acid, which is formed in significant amounts, a complex method of utilizing cyclohexane oxidation products is proposed. Specifically, esterification of adipic acid with alcohol was performed, resulting in the production of dibutyl adipinate, a valuable raw material for plasticizer manufacturing. The yield of dibutyl adipinate was 57.6%. The study found that cyclohexane oxidation in the presence of a binary catalyst, cobalt naphthenate–aminotoxane, results in an increased oxidation rate, a threefold reduction in ester and acid selectivity, and a twofold increase in cyclohexanol selectivity compared to oxidation with cobalt naphthenate alone.

Published: September 2024

The effect of crown ethers and polyglycols on the liquid-phase oxidation of cyclohexane and alkylaromatic hydrocarbons (toluene and p-xylene) with molecular oxygen catalyzed by transition metal salts has been investigated. It has been determined that crown ethers increase the reaction rate at both low and high conversion levels of cyclohexane and alkylaromatic hydrocarbons. The additives under study primarily affect the selectivity of the oxidation products. Crown ether and polyglycol additives to cobalt naphthenate increase the cyclohexanone to cyclohexanol molar ratio in cyclohexane oxidation. The crown ether additives to cobalt acetate increase the selectivity for alcohol in the initial stage of toluene and p-xylene oxidation. At higher alkylarene conversion, the additives enhance the selectivity for carboxylic acids. We assume that crown ethers and polyglycols form complexes with transition metal ions, changing the redox potential of the ions. This change in redox potential affects both the reaction rate and the selectivity of the oxidation products. The study concludes that crown ether and polyglycol additives influence the stages of the catalytic liquid-phase oxidation of hydrocarbons.
