Authors: Zaman Muhammad Rizaldi , Sinaga Nazaruddin
Published: July 2021

Boilers are one of the main equipment in the PLTU apart from turbines and generators. Each year there must be a difference in the actual boiler efficiency value with the conditions during commissioning. Periodically, boiler performance evaluations are carried out in order to identify losses from several factors. In this study, the method used for evaluation is the energy balance method. During the experiment, the standard test guide (ASME PTC - 4) was used. The boiler under test has a capacity of 660 MW. Evaluation is done by comparing the boiler efficiency value at the time of commissioning with the latest performance tests. From the results of performance testing, it is known that the decrease in boiler efficiency when compared with the commissioning results from 86.92% to 82.625%. The reduction in boiler efficiency is due to an increase in heat loss due to dry gas, hydrogen content in coal, and incomplete combustion.Keywords: boiler, efficiency, evaluation, reduction, performance

Authors: Babynets Liliia , Halabitska Iryna
Published: July 2021

Despite the advances of modern evidence-based medicine, the treatment of osteoarthritis (OA) remains a complex and unresolved issue. Of course, modification of the patient’s lifestyle improves the condition of a patient with osteoarthritis, but the management of a patient with osteoarthritis without drug therapy, which is mostly symptomatic, is almost impossible.

The objective: was to investigate the effectiveness of intracellular systemic enzyme in the complex therapy of patients with primary OA in comorbidity with exocrine pancreatic insufficiency for the correction of pathological processes developing in patients.

Materials and methods. 69 patients with primary OA in comorbidity with exocrine pancreatic insufficiency were examined. The diagnosis of OA was established on the basis of diagnostic criteria of the American College of Rheumatologists (ACR, 2018), the European Association of Rheumatologists (European League Against Rheumatism, EULAR, 2018). American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons (AAOS, 2018), International Society for the Study of OA (OARSI, 2019). Examination of the joints included examination, palpation, and objective assessment of pain. OA symptoms were also assessed by Leken index and the Harris test. To assess the state of exocrine pancreatic insufficiency, the content of fecal α-elastase was determined and the coprogram was evaluated. Patients were divided into two groups: the 1st group received treatment of primary OA according to international recommendations, the 2nd group additionally received an enzymatic drug.

Results. After the treatment, patients of the 1st group showed a statistically significant tendency to deterioration of fecal α-elastase and coprogram (p<0,05), in the 2nd group there was a statistically significant improvement of these indicators (p<0,05). There was also a statistically significant improvement in the course of primary OA in both study groups (p<0,05), but in the 2nd group the therapeutic effect was statistically significantly more significant (p<0,05).

Conclusions. There was a statistically significant positive dynamics of exocrine pancreatic insufficiency and course of primary OA in the 2nd group compared to those in the 1st after treatment (p<0,05), which indicates the feasibility of using the enzyme drug in the treatment of patients with primary OA in comorbidity with exocrine pancreatic insufficiency.

Authors: Оshovskyy V.I.  , Nikolenko M.I.  , Polyakova Ye.M. 
Published: July 2021

Preeclampsia as one of the manifestations of placental dysfunction associated with dysregulation of pro- and antiangiogenic factors. During normal pregnancy, the concentration of antiangiogenic factor sFlt-1 remains low, which allows accurate transmission of signals induced by proangiogenic factors VEGF and PlGF. This balance is crucial to maintain physiological vasodilation. Under hypoperfusion, the placenta increases the synthesis of sFlt-1, trying to increase maternal pressure and increase placental perfusion.The objective: to study the clinical outcomes of pregnancies in a group with extremely high ratios of sFlt-1 and PlGF.Materials and methods. The results of determining the levels of placental growth factor (PlGF) and soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase (sfLT-1), which were performed during 2017-2020 in the serum of 128 pregnant women at 18–39 weeks, were analyzed.Results. The mean age of pregnant women was 28,4±4 years. The average gestational age during the study was 26±5 weeks. The majority of pregnant women had signs of IUGR (62,5%) and/or preeclampsia (50%) during the study. The average level of the sFlt/PIGF ratio was 1747 pg/ml. In 100% of cases with a digital ratio of more than 850, signs of an obstetric angiogenic catastrophe that required immediate delivery developed during the nearest future. The average time from analysis to delivery was 10 days. In 50% of pregnant women, urgent delivery was required within 48 hours after analysis. Favorable neonatal results were observed in 37,5% of women.Conclusion. We found a tendency for worsening perinatal outcomes in women with extremely high sFlt-1/PlGF ratios after reaching 850. Careful monitoring of the pregnant woman and consideration of need for prophylactic administration of corticosteroids to accelerate fetal lung maturation in this group is rational.

Authors: Kravchenko E.V.
Published: July 2021

The objective: was to determine the effectiveness of the use of complex therapy in the treatment of diffuse forms of dishormonal breast dysplasia (DВD) in women of early reproductive age.Materials and methods. Under observation were 42 women with a diffuse form of BPH at the age of 25–31 years. The control group consisted of 20 healthy non-pregnant women, parity in age, social status and living conditions. The diagnosis of DВD was established on the basis of the analysis of anamnestic data, patient complaints, clinical data, X-ray and ultrasound studies carried out on the 5–7 day of the menstrual cycle.Results. In 35 (83.3%) patients, DВD developed against the background of a normal biphasic menstrual cycle, in 7 (16.7%) – with an inferior luteal phase. During an instrumental examination, 23 (54.8%) of the women were diagnosed with fibrocystic form of DВD, 15 (35.7%) had adenofibromatosis, and 4 (9.5%) had glandular cystic mastopathy.The use of Enat 400, phytochemical oncoprotectors, venotonics and sedatives provides, in the vast majority (95.2%) of patients of early reproductive age, high clinical efficacy in the treatment of DВD. According to instrumental methods of breast imaging, the regression of DВD occurred in 38 (90.5%) of young patients.Conclusions. In the treatment of DВD in patients of early reproductive age, Enat 400 in combination with other drugs, due to the antioxidant, antiproliferative, pro-apoptotic, antitumor activity of the therapy, have established themselves as effective and safe agents.

Authors: Perkhulyn O.M. , Pakharenko L.V.
Published: July 2021

Cervical insufficiency is one of the most frequent reasons for late miscarriage and preterm birth. Its rate is increased in women who conceived after the use of additional reproductive technologies. The objective: to assess the parameters of cervical elastography in women with cervical insufficiency and anovulatory infertility in a history. Materials and methods. 40 pregnant women with cervical insufficiency who conceived after treatment of infertility associated with anovulation were examined in the term of 16–20 weeks: in the I group (20 persons) pregnancy conceived after conservative treatment of infertility, in the II (20 patients) – after in vitro fertilization. 20 women with the physiological course of pregnancy without cervical insufficiency and with spontaneous gestation were controls. Cervical elastography index was used to assess the strain of cervical tissue. Results. According to the results of compression elastography all patients in the I and II groups had red or yellow color of the internal cervical os and cervical canal. In the persons without cervical insufficiency the cervical tissue was firm (purple and blue color). The number of women with purple color of the anterior labia of the cervix in the I and II groups was in 4.67 (р=0.001) and 2.33 (р=0.03) times less compared to the controls, of the posterior labia – in 3,2 times (р=0.001) in both groups. Conclusion. In women with cervical insufficiency and a history of anovulatory infertility there are considerable changes of strain in internal os and cervical canal of the cervix.

Authors: Zaychenko S. , Tkachenko R.
Published: July 2021

The objective: was to evaluate the effectiveness of various anesthesia options for laparoscopic hysterectomy, including low-opioid (LOA) and opioid-free anesthesia (OFA) by studying the dynamics of heart rate variability (HRV) indicators.Materials and methods. 102 patients were randomly assigned to 3 groups: 37 patients who received standard opioid anesthesia (control group), 33 women who received the LOA group, and 32 patients who received OFA.Results. Laparoscopic hysterectomy is accompanied by tension of the autonomic nervous system, especially its sympathetic link, which is manifested by an increase in the index of vago-sympathetic interaction at the traumatic stage of the operation. These changes were most significant in patients who received standard and opioid-free anesthesia, which indirectly indicates insufficient stress protection of these types of intraoperative anesthesia.Conclusions. The use of low-opioid anesthesia is accompanied by a greater stabilization of HRV indices, which indicates its sufficient autonomic protection during laparoscopic hysterectomy than standard and opioid-free anesthesia.
Analysis of modern views on the uterine fibroids and methods of its treatment
Authors: Kuzomenska L.M. , Chyrva S.L.
Published: July 2021

Despite a significant amount of research on the pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment of uterine fibroids, many questions remain unanswered today. The appearance and progressive growth of this formation is the result of a whole complex of disorders in the female body: neurohumoral, genetic, inflammatory and others that suppress reproductive function and worsen the course of the disease. Given the number of key factors in the pathogenesis and pathophysiology of uterine fibroids, the treatment of this group of patients should be comprehensive, aimed at early detection, treatment of concomitant gynecological diseases and correction of hormonal disorders.In recent decades, hormone therapy has been widely used for the conservative treatment of uterine hyperplastic diseases. However, according to some data, the use of COCs or intrauterine hormonal releasing system has a slight blocking effect on fibroid growth processes. Pharmacotherapy of the disease can be both a stage for preoperative preparation on the organ, and an independent unit for stabilizing the nodes and getting rid of surgical treatment. And although the results of conservative treatments indicate their effectiveness, it should be stated that the main method of treatment of uterine fibroids is surgery.In the age of endoscopic surgery, this discussion has not exhausted itself and the modern approach to the treatment of uterine fibroids dictates the expansion of indications for organ-sparing operations. The choice of their methodology should be considered and determined by the size, location, clinical picture of the disease and the feasibility of preserving menstrual and reproductive function of women. Laparoscopic myomectomy is considered a minimally invasive and less traumatic intervention, contributes to a favorable course of the postoperative period and reduces pain. With effective organ-sparing surgical treatment of uterine fibroids in women of reproductive age, the menstrual cycle is normalized, reproductive function is restored, and pregnancies usually occur in 1,5-2 years after surgery.Endoscopic treatments are now successfully used both for planning a pregnancy and for its onset. A significant amount of patients have an uncomplicated course of pregnancy and childbirth, even in the presence of multiple and small nodes. Of course, pregnant women with fibroids can not be considered as a homogeneous group of patients, clearly recommending the preservation of pregnancy. The predominant location and size of the tumor, the degree of pathological changes in the myometrium, the duration of the disease, the state of health of the woman, the age of the woman giving birth for the first time, determine different degrees of risk of pregnancy and childbirth for mother and fetus. The division of patients into risk groups allows to differentiate the question of the feasibility of maintaining pregnancy, to carry out appropriate clinical and laboratory examinations and preventive measures to prevent complications.

Authors: Honcharuk N. P. , Kovyda N. R.
Published: July 2021

In modern conditions, due to the increased frequency of cesarean section, which is not only a method of surgical delivery of pregnant women, but also surgery, there are problems in the reproductive health of operated women.Given the solution of many aspects of re-cesarean section, the issues of determining the diagnostic criteria for failure of uterus scar, their diagnostic value and use in practical medicine remain debatable.The objective: the investigate the features of uterine perfusion in pregnant women after a previous cesarean section and develop criteria for predicting the failure of the uterus scar.Materials and methods. A comprehensive two-stage (before and during pregnancy) examination of 180 women with a uterus scar after a previous cesarean section for the period from 2014–2019. Women were divided into groups and subgroups depending on the time of pregnancy.Results. Based on the conducted clinical and anamnestic data and the results of ultrasound examinations of the operated uterus, we detected changes in the blood flow of the uterine arteries and developed an arterial perfusion index in pregnant women. Using the proposed index, the features of arterial perfusion in women of childbearing age, depending on the time of pregnancy and the failure of the uterus scar after a previous cesarean section. This allowed us to determine the limit values of this indicator for each group of women, in which the value of this indicator differed significantly from healthy women. The proposed limit levels of uterine perfusion allow to diagnose uterine perfusion disorders during pregnancy at different times.Conclusion. Determining the arterial perfusion index in pregnant women expands the diagnostic capabilities of physician in determining the condition of the postoperative uterus scar after a previous cesarean section and is an additional preventive measure to determine its failure. The output of the values of this indicator beyond the predicted threshold values will require additional diagnostic actions on the part of the physicians to find additional combined pathology that may affect uterine blood perfusion.

Authors: Proshchenko O. M.
Published: July 2021

The article presents an assessment and analysis of the most important medical and social risk factors for long-term postoperative urogenital disorders in women of reproductive age after radical surgical treatment for uterine fibroids. Radical operations for uterine fibroids cause an increase in the proportion of urogenital disorders, the clinical manifestations of which have a negative impact on the physical, psycho-emotional form and social significance of women in society. A survey of 80 women aged 40 to 50 years, the main group included 40 patients who underwent vaginal hysterectomy, the comparison group consisted of 40 patients with hysterectomy performed by abdominal access. Data on the assessment of pelvic floor condition and urogenital dysfunction using a standardized POP-Q system, both at the stage of preoperative observation and for 3 and 5 years after surgery. Сonducted surveys, filling diaries of pain, urination, physical examination and bimanual examination, determination of the pH of the vaginal contents, colposcopy, evaluated the index of the vaginal condition, the state of the microbiota of the mucous membranes, a comprehensive urodynamic examination, cystometry, ultrasound examination of the pelvic organs and assessment of ovarian structure.The most important risk factors are identified, which would allow to form groups of patients that require individualized approaches in the choice of surgical techniques and rehabilitation program. These included obstetric and gynecological history (birth of large fetuses, episiotomies, birth injuries, high birth parity); ovarian surgery, the use of gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonists. chronic diseases of the respiratory system and gastrointestinal tract, accompanied by increased intra-abdominal pressure; the presence of stigmas of undifferentiated connective tissue dysplasia; clinical manifestations of pelvic floor failure and functional disorders of the urethral sphincter. When choosing a method and access in case of surgical treatment for uterine fibroids, it is advisable to take into account the presence of pelvic prolapse and initial dysuric manifestations in women, the functional state of the sphincter apparatus and urethral hypermobility, obstetric and gynecological pathology and previous surgery on the organs of the uterus. the patient, her awareness of possible complications, the surgeon’s experience and his choice of surgical techniques.
Recommendations on the Clinical Trial Programme for Diabetes Medicines
Authors: Proskurina I. A. , Petraneva E. A. , Goryachev D. V.
Published: July 2021

Diabetes is a serious public health problem and one of the major chronic noncommunicable diseases. A lengthy stepwise treatment, and the need for an individualised approach to antidiabetic therapy, pose serious challenges for medicine developers. For all new hypoglycaemic medicines, there has been a centralised authorisation procedure in the European Union (EU) since 2005, which ensures a unified approach to efficacy and safety assessment. The aim of the study was to analyse current requirements for planning clinical trials of hypoglycaemic medicines containing new active substances (except for insulin products). The recommendations for diagnosis and treatment of type 2 diabetes, prepared by the European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) and the American Diabetes Association (ADA) in 2019, suggest a step-by-step approach to intensification of treatment to maintain glycaemic targets, which takes account of concomitant cardiovascular or other diseases, and clinical characteristics of patients. The analysis of EASD/ADA documents and scientific literature helped to develop recommendations on the basic principles of planning and conducting clinical trials at the final stages of hypoglycaemic medicine development. The paper describes new approaches to clinical trials, which allow for a more reliable assessment of the treatment effectiveness. The strategy for the assessment of therapeutic effect should be carefully planned, justified, and reflected in variables of interest, clinical trial design, and statistical analysis of the trial results. The main efficacy criterion in confirmatory clinical trials of hypoglycaemic medicines should be the demonstration of benefits in improving glycaemic control. The medicine’s effect on the body weight may be considered as a secondary endpoint. An essential requirement is confirmation of the medicines’ cardiovascular safety, while potential additional benefits are reduction or prevention of risks of cardiovascular disease development. The clinical trial protocol should provide definitions for intercurrent events and hypoglycaemia. A comprehensive safety study of a new hypoglycaemic medicine should involve identification of anticipated or known side effects characteristic of a particular pharmacological class. The provided recommendations may be helpful for medicine developers, and for experts who perform assessment of clinical trial programmes and regulatory submissions for hypoglycaemic medicines.

In Silico Screening of the Phenolic Compound Oleuropein and Its Hydrolysis Product 3-Hydroxytyrosol Against Certain Structural and Non-Structural Proteins of SARS-CoV- 2
Authors: İSTİFLİ Erman Salih
Published: July 2021

The novel corona virus has infected nearly 163 million people globally as of May 2021 and caused death of more than 3.3 million patients. Despite intense efforts, however, a small molecule with full therapeutic potential has not been developed in the treatment of SARS-CoV-2. The aim of this study was to investigate the inhibitory potentials of oleuropein and its hydrolysis product 3-hydroxytyrosol against spike glycoprotein, papain-like protease, main protease and RNA-dependent RNA polymerase of SARS-CoV-2 using molecular modelling simulations. Compared to 3-hydroxytyrosol, oleuropein showed stronger binding affinity to all targets in docking, and its affinity to Mpro (-7.0 kcal mol-1) and RdRp (-8.0 kcal mol-1) was quite high. Despite the Mpro-oleuropein complex, the RdRp-oleuropein complex showed a highly stable binding in 15-ns molecular dynamics based on root-mean-square-deviation (0.14 - 0.32 nm) and hydrogen bond numbers (6.85). The intracellular targets of oleuropein covered various proteases (17%), enzymes (16%), family A G protein-coupled receptors (11%), kinases (10%) and other cytosolic proteins (10%), however, probabilistic analysis showed that oleuropein was unlikely (p = 0 - 0.22) to bind these targets. ADMET profile showed that, with few exceptions, oleuropein has the physicochemistry that should be present in a drug molecule. In conclusion, oleuropein binds tightly to the active site of RdRp and could inhibit this enzyme. Oleuropein may be used alone or in combination with replicase inhibitors such as remdesivir or favipiravir in the treatment of COVID-19. Additional in vitro binding assays and in vivo efficacy studies are needed to prove our findings.

Published: July 2021

The development of science and technology affects the language field. The main influence of this development is the appearance of a lot of new vocabulary related to science and technology matter. It can’t be ignored that English is widely spread and used in describing things for example in social media, electronic stuff, e-commerce, aviation, the science and technology field, etc. As the result, some English vocabulary has been borrowed to explain things that there is no suitable or provided word in Indonesian. Borrowing words can cause the problems such as spelling and pronouncing whether in Indonesian or English. Some English words have been taken to the Indonesian dictionary by following EYD. However, people may tend to know the English version of borrowing words rather than the Indonesian (EYD) especially the IT people. But, they might don’t know that there is a possibility of a shift in the meaning. To figure out this problem, this research aims to know (1) the English borrowing words and their meanings in some Indonesian informatics engineering articles (2) the types of English borrowing words used in some Indonesian informatics engineering articles. The researcher uses a qualitative descriptive method in doing the research. From the result, it’s found that 20% and 35% loanword from 1st and 2nd journal, loan blend 80% and 65%.

Introduction: #TogetherApart: Mediatization, (Inter)subjectivity and Sociality at a Time of Pandemic
Authors: Anderson Bissie , Kumar Putta Santhosh
Published: July 2021

This special issue features 12 contributions by early career scholars and artists dealing with the role of mediatization in the COVID-19 pandemic conjuncture. Themes such as mediated intimacy and sociality, pandemic ideology, politicians’ curated authenticity and discursive constructions of self, and playbour and resistance in digital games are examined in five original articles, while three autoethnographic contributions explore the concepts of mediated presence, collectivity, contemplative community, loneliness and relationality. The autoethnographies – in the form of short film, collage and poetry vignettes, respectively – add a personal experiential layer to the broader themes. To generate (mediated) interpersonal dialogue, two artists/academics engage deeply with the autoethographies, further reflecting on the themes explored therein. The issue concludes with an interview with Professor Andreas Hepp, of the University of Bremen, who comments on the contributions and reflects on the role of “deep mediatization” in the pandemic world.

An Examination of Distributional Characteristics and Psychometric Properties of Rating Scales Under Different Scale Label Conﬁgurations
Authors: Martinez Alfonso J.
Published: July 2021

Rating scales (e.g., Likert scales) have become an indispensable tool in the social sciences for measuring latent constructs. Despite their practicality, it is well known that rating scales are sensitive to design choices made during the scale construction process. In the present study, we investigate the eﬀects of diﬀerent scale labeling conﬁgurations on the distributional characteristics and psychometric properties of rating scales by analyzing data from two 7-point rating scales that were altered with respect to their scale labels. Speciﬁcally, we investigate the diﬀerences in composite score means, variances, reliability, factor structure, and measurement invariance (i.e., metric, scalar, and strict factorial invariance) of two scales that measure divergent constructs (life satisfaction life; academic time management & procrastination). Results indicate that distributional characteristics of rating scales are aﬀected by diﬀerences in labeling conﬁgurations to varying degrees, however the psychometric properties of the scales are not inﬂuenced by changes in labeling. In particular, it was found that strict factorial invariance held, indicating that the scales, although diﬀerent with respect to scale labels, maintain equal diﬃculty, discrimination between groups. Implications and recommendations for scale developers and directions for future research are discussed.

Interest in the psychology of misinformation has exploded in recent years. Despite ample research, to date there is no validated framework to measure misinformation susceptibility. Therefore, we introduce Verification done, a nuanced interpretation schema and assessment tool that simultaneously considers Veracity discernment, and its distinct, measurable abilities (real/fake news detection), and biases (distrust/naïvité—negative/positive judgment bias). We then conduct three studies with seven independent samples (Ntotal = 8,504) to show how to develop, validate, and apply a Misinformation Susceptibility Test (MIST). In Study 1 (N = 409) we use a neural network language model to generate items, and use three psychometric methods—factor analysis, item response theory, and exploratory graph analysis—to create the MIST-20 (20 items; completion time <2 minutes), the MIST-16 (16 items; <2 minutes), and the MIST-8 (8 items; <1 minute). In Study 2 (N = 7,674) we confirm the internal and predictive validity of the MIST in five national quota samples (US, UK), across 2 years, from three different sampling platforms—Respondi, CloudResearch, and Prolific. We also explore the MIST’s nomological net and generate age-, region-, and country-specific norm tables. In Study 3 (N = 421) we demonstrate how the MIST—in conjunction with Verification done—can provide novel insights on existing psychological interventions, thereby advancing theory development. Finally, we outline the versatile implementations of the MIST as a screening tool, covariate, and intervention evaluation framework. As all methods are transparently reported and detailed, this work will allow other researchers to create similar scales or adapt them for any population of interest.
The association between COVID-19 related food insecurity and weight promoting eating behaviours: the mediating role of distress and eating to cope

Food insecurity (a lack of stable access to nutritious food) is reliably associated with obesity, although the underlying mechanisms are unclear. Past research indicates that this relationship may, in part, be explained by the distress of being food insecure and using food as a coping mechanism. While previous work has focused on long-term food insecurity, the first COVID-19 national lockdown presented a unique opportunity to establish if the same relationships existed for individuals experiencing pandemic related food insecurity. Adults in the United Kingdom (N = 211) were recruited three months after the first UK lockdown via social media. They completed questionnaires on COVID-19 related food insecurity, physical stress, psychological distress, eating to cope, drinking to cope, diet quality, and changes in weight promoting eating behaviours (e.g. consuming larger portions, increased snacking) since the start of the lockdown. A structural equation model revealed that food insecurity was indirectly associated with changes in weight promoting eating behaviours. As predicted, the more instances of pandemic related food insecurity, the more distress individuals reported. Distress was then associated with eating as a way of coping, which in turn was associated with increases in weight promoting eating behaviours. Food insecurity was also indirectly associated with diet quality, but this was via distress only. These results reflect similar pathways observed in individuals reporting chronic food insecurity and strengthens the evidence that distress and eating to cope are generic mediators of food insecurity and eating behaviour.

In recent years, yaoi, as a subculture with a long history, has gradually become increasingly popular among youth interested in Japanese media and has recently become popular around the world. Yaoi is defined as commercial and fan-created media that thematically focuses on romantic love and pornography between two men, often in a sexually explicit way. Despite the widespread popularity of this subculture, there is a lack of empirical studies on the neural mechanism for enjoying yaoi using reliable research methods. The present study aimed to use functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) to explore the neural and behavioral mechanisms exhibited by yaoi fans when they are viewing yaoi images. This study indicated that yaoi begins to influence individuals during puberty, tending to addiction. Also, viewing yaoi images could lead to negative activation in the prefrontal cortex (PFC) of female yaoi fans and affect their behavioral performance. These results embodied a new but taboo sexual orientation evident in the PFC neural response.
Predicting children’s math skills from task-based and resting-state functional brain connectivity

A critical goal of cognitive neuroscience is to predict behavior from neural structure andfunction, thereby providing crucial insight into who might benefit from clinical and/or educational interventions. Across development, the strength of functional connectivity among a distributed set of brain regions is associated with children’s math skills. Therefore, in the present study we use Connectome-based Predictive Modeling to investigate whether functional connectivity during numerical processing and at rest predicts children’s math skills (N = 31, Mage = 9.21 years, 14 Female). Overall, we found that functional connectivity during symbolic number comparison and rest, but not during non-symbolic number comparison, predicts children’s math skills. Each task revealed a largely distinct set of predictive connections distributed across canonical brain networks and major brain lobes. Most of these predictive connections were negatively correlated with children’s math skills, such that weaker connectivity predicted better math skills. Notably, these predictive connections were largely non-overlapping across task states, suggesting children’s math abilities may depend on state-dependent patterns of network segregation and/or regional specialization. Furthermore, the current predictive modeling approach moves beyond brain- behavior correlations and toward building models of brain connectivity that may eventually aid in predicting future math skills.

The adoption of the study of the urban environment and comparing it across its different time stages gives us the possibility to understand the transformations in it and the possibility of benefiting from and reflecting them in local architecture as well as to know the importance of contextual relations to make the added part be compatible with the whole. And since the transformation takes place in the relationships as well as in the elements that make up the urban environment. therefore, the research is specialized in studying the transformation in the relationship between the private and public space in the local housing unit and according to this perspective the research problem was defined as (lack of integration of knowledge about the impact of transformations in the relationship between space Private and public of the local housing unit on the urban and built environment of our contemporary cities) Where the research took the method of analytical descriptive study by reviewing, discussing and analyzing the characteristics of models of housing units that represent the local traditional style and models of modern and contemporary housing units and a comparison between them, then focusing on the relationship that the private and public spaces are connected to in both cases to reach the desired result. The research concluded that the transformation in the relationship between the private and public space in the local housing unit was strongly reflected in the properties of the elements (the housing unit) and the surrounding space (the part level), and this transformation resulted in the overall transformation on the level of the urban environment as a whole as it consists of combining these elements together (All level).
