Reduction of pathological skin-picking via expressive writing: A randomized controlled trial
Authors: Schlintl Carina , Schienle Anne
Published: June 2023

Background

Expressive writing (EW: a personal form of writing about emotional distress, without regard to writing conventions) can improve physical and mental health. The present study investigated whether EW can reduce pathological skin-picking. In addition, the effects of two modalities of writing were contrasted with each other: computer vs. paper/pencil.

Method

A total of 132 females with self-reported pathological skin-picking participated in a two-week intervention. They either carried out six EW sessions or wrote about six abstract paintings (control condition), using either paper/pencil or a computer. Before and after each session, participants rated their affective state and the urge to pick their skin via a smartphone application. Questionnaires for assessing skin-picking severity were completed before and after the two-week intervention.

Results

The urge for skin-picking decreased directly after a writing session. The reduction was more pronounced in participants of the EW group, who also experienced reduced tension and increased feelings of relief at the end of a writing session. EW also reduced the severity of focused skin-picking after the two-week intervention. The writing modality had no differential effect on skin-picking symptoms.

Conclusions

This study identified beneficial effects of EW on pathological skin-picking. A future study could investigate EW as a potential tool in the context of (online) psychotherapy for skin-picking disorder.

Authors: Usupbekova B. Sh. , Zhusupbekova N. E. , Shyikymanarov E. Sh.
Published: June 2023

Introduction. Currently, there is a trend towards an increase in the number of elderly people all over the world. The increase in life expectancy is caused by medical and scientifi c progress and by the quality of the social security service. However disability, illness, weakening of family and social ties, decreased capacity in almost all areas, make the lives of elderly people bleak. Therefore, the search of new developments for improving the life quality of this people category remains actual. Osteopathic treatment can be one of the non-drug, sanogenic methods.

The aim of the study is to investigate the impact of general osteopathic treatment in life quality of elderly people.

Materials and methods. The study was conducted at the Clinic of the Eurasian Institute of Osteopathic Medicine from January to May 2021. There were examined 30 people over the age of 60. The studied patients were divided into 2 groups of 15 people. The main group received general osteopathic treatment for 3 weeks with a frequency of once every 7 days. The control group received a complex of physical therapy for 3 weeks, for 30 minutes daily. All patients of both groups underwent an osteopathic examination before and after the study with the formation of an osteopathic conclusion, the life quality indicators were evaluated, and saturation was measured.

Results. During the general osteopathic treatment in the elderly patients of the main group, there was detected a decrease in the number of regional and local somatic dysfunctions. Reliably signifi cant changes were found in the life quality indicators according to the SF-36 questionnaire, as well as in the saturation of arterial blood hemoglobin by oxygen (according to the results of pulse oximetry). Among patients of the control group, there were detected signifi cantly less signifi cant changes in these indicators.

Conclusion. General osteopathic treatment can improve individual indicators of the life quality of elderly people, reduce the number of somatic dysfunctions, and increase blood oxygenation.

This work studied the effect of mixtures of fish gelatin (protein) from Atlantic cod skin and sodium alginate (polysaccharide) from brown algae on the nucleation of sII methane-propane hydrate. The rocking cell method with ramp cooling was employed to determine the supercooling required for the hydrates formation from solutions of individual polymers and their mixtures.Unlike sodium alginate, which has practically no effect on the formation of gas hydrates, the gelatin inhibitory activity was intermediate between polyvinylpyrrolidone and polyvinyl caprolactam (commercial kinetic hydrate inhibitors). In the caseof polymer blends, a slight decrease in the efficacy of gelatin at fixed content was observed as the sodium alginate concentration decreased. The results indicate the antagonism of the kinetic inhibition of methane-propane hydrate by mixtures of biological polyelectrolytes. Undoubtedly, intermolecular interactions in polysaccharide-gelatin complexes in solution affect the abilityof polymers to retard the nucleation process. A more detailed study of the kinetics of hydrate formation depending on the ratio of polymers in solution will make it possible to reveal the mechanism of their influence and to propose mixed reagentsto control the hydrate formation.

The work is devoted to the study of phase-change composite fibers as a thermoregulating additive to dry building mixes with the possibility to accumulate thermal energy under the sunlight heating or exposure to high-frequency alternating magnetic field.The composite fibers were prepared by adsorption of organic phase-change material eicosane on the surface of cellulose microfibers modified with magnetite nanoparticles. The resulted composites demonstrated the latent heat storage capacity of 129-148 J/g depending on the eicosane content. The addition of 10-15 wt% of the composite fibers to the dry building mix brought the latent heat storage and release properties to the hardened samples in the temperature range from 27°C to 43°C, which corresponds to melting and crystallization of eicosane in the composites structure. The addition of phase-change composites affected on heatingof the hardened plaster under the simulated sunlight and its further cooling under ambient conditions. The samples demonstrated more intensive heating and reduced cooling rate upon reaching 35°C as compared to control samples. Additionally, the hardened plasters containing the phase-change composites demonstrated the capability to accumulate thermal energy under high-frequency alternating magnetic field exposure attended with its prolonged release.

Published: June 2023

The article is concerned with analyzing theoretical approaches to the essence of the concept of «financial sustainability of bank» and developing practical recommendations for structuring the main factors influencing the financial sustainability of a bank. It is specified that the financial sustainability of the banking system is directly related to the sustainability of each individual bank that constitutes a part of it. It is noted that a significant negative impact on the banking system of our country at the present stage is exerted through events of the ongoing war, inflation, reduction of production, and a decrease in investment activity. Based on the analysis and generalization of existing approaches to determining the essence of the concept of «financial sustainability of bank» using content analysis, the main components of financial sustainability of a bank have been identified, namely: ensuring risk coverage; the bank’s ability to counteract negative external and internal factors; efficiency of use of assets and financial resources; ensuring liquidity, solvency and profitability of the bank. The main factors influencing the financial sustainability of a bank are analyzed. Using system analysis, the article offers a structural model of the hierarchy of factors influencing the financial sustainability of the bank. The results of structuring the factors influencing the financial sustainability of the bank help to choose the right sequence of actions and allow to identify priority problems that require first-order solutions when making managerial decisions on the development and implementation of the bank’s development program.

Intensive promotion of blockchain technologies in public spheres of administration, science, education, economics, finance, medicine, culture and art allows concluding about the prospects for effective implementation of blockchain technologies in accounting and auditing. This conclusion is verified by numerous works of foreign and domestic scholars concerning the use of blockchain for organizing accounting and auditing of a new generation. The article reflects the essence of blockchain technology and describes the process of its implementation in accounting for prepayment to a foreign supplier, which forms a chain of encrypted blocks of transactions in real time, which are carried out between participants directly, which allows to ensure security, fast availability of data and significant speed of transactions. Blockchain technologies in accounting are based on the principles of decentralization, security, irreversibility, and consensus. The article reflects the advantages and disadvantages of using blockchain technologies in accounting. The most important negative factors are significant costs and investments; lack of relevant packages of regulatory documents and standards in Ukraine; lack of qualified specialists who are able to develop, implement and use projects based on blockchain technologies. In addition, the promotion of new technologies based on blockchain must be carried out simultaneously by all interested stakeholders. Therefore, the introduction of blockchain technologies in Ukraine is a laborious and lengthy process, which at present is at the initial stage. Prospects for further research are to study the problem of reforming the national accounting system for the successful adaptation of blockchain technologies.
The Postmodern Aesthetic Style of the Film “A Pigeon Sat on a Branch Reflecting on Existence"
Authors: Yuntian Shi
Published: June 2023

Postmodern aesthetics, as a product of postmodern culture, shows resistance to traditional aesthetic values, subverts the cognitive logic of rational and absolute concepts, and has a profound impact on contemporary films. Swedish director Roy Andersson's representative work, "A Pigeon Sat on a Branch Reflecting on Existence", embodies obvious post-modern aesthetic features. Its images attempt to subvert traditional authority, the narrative is broken, the audience interacts with the depth of field lens, and the interpretation is returned to the audience. The highly copied characters and scenes show the absurdity of contemporary people's existence and the desolation of spirit and issue sharp satire to the post-modern society, Presenting a profound philosophical reflection.

The Free Will Defense and the Problem of Heavenly Freedom
Authors: TAŞKIN Ferhat
Published: June 2023

According to the logical problem of evil, the co-existence of evil and the theistic God who is considered to be omniscient, omnipotent, and omnibenevolent is impossible. The fact that our world contains evils invalidates the existence of the theistic God. A libertarian theistic response to this problem, the free will defense, holds that if God actually has or could have a sufficient reason to actualize a world containing evils, the problem fails. This good reason, according to the defense, might be significant freedom, the freedom to choose between moral good and evil. Yujin Nagasawa, Graham Oppy, and Nick Trakakis, however, approach this debate from a different angle and argue that the traditional theistic view of heaven is a problem for this theistic response when we ask whether there is freedom in heaven. They contend that if the inhabitants of heaven do not have significant freedom, free will cannot be a great good that gives God a good reason to create a world containing evils. Thus, the free will defense fails. In this paper, I claim that this is mistaken. I argue that even though the inhabitants of heaven are not free in the most robust sense (i.e. they are no longer capable of sinning), this does not show that significant freedom is not a great good that justifies God’s creating a world containing evils.

The Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitor ibrutinib is widely used for treatment of patients with relapsed/refractory or treatment-naïve chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). A prominent effect of ibrutinib is to disrupt the retention of CLL cells from supportive lymphoid tissues, by altering BTK-dependent adhesion and migration. To further explore the mechanism of action of ibrutinib and its potential impact on non-leukemic cells, we quantified multiple motility and adhesion parameters of human primary CLL cells and non-leukemic lymphoid cells. In vitro, ibrutinib affected CCL19-, CXCL12- and CXCL13-evoked migration behavior of CLL cells and non-neoplastic lymphocytes, by reducing both motility speed and directionality. De-phosphorylation of BTK induced by ibrutinib in CLL cells was associated with defective polarization over fibronectin and inability to assemble the immunological synapse upon B-cell receptor engagement. In patients’ samples collected during a 6-month monitoring of therapy, chemokine-evoked migration was repressed in CLL cells and marginally reduced in T cells. This was accompanied by profound modulation of the expression of chemokine receptors and adhesion molecules. Remarkably, the relative expression of the receptors governing lymph node entry (CCR7) versus exit (S1PR1) stood out as a reliable predictive marker of the clinically relevant treatment-induced lymphocytosis. Together, our data reveal a multifaceted modulation of motility and adhesive properties of ibrutinib on both CLL leukemic cell and T-cell populations and point to intrinsic differences in CLL recirculation properties as an underlying cause for variability in treatment response.

Systemic light chain amyloidosis (AL) is a clonal plasma cell disorder characterized by the deposition of misfolded immunoglobulin light chains (LC) as insoluble fibrils in organs. The lack of suitable models has hindered the investigation of the disease mechanisms. Our aim was to establish AL LC-producing plasma cell lines and use them to investigate the biology of the amyloidogenic clone. We used lentiviral vectors to generate cell lines expressing LC from patients suffering from AL amyloidosis. The AL LC-producing cell lines showed a significant decrease in proliferation, cell cycle arrest, and an increase in apoptosis and autophagy as compared with the multiple myeloma LC-producing cells. According to the results of RNA sequencing the AL LC-producing lines showed higher mitochondrial oxidative stress, and decreased activity of the Myc and cholesterol pathways. The neoplastic behavior of plasma cells is altered by the constitutive expression of amyloidogenic LC causing intracellular toxicity. This observation may explain the disparity in the malignant behavior of the amyloid clone compared to the myeloma clone. These findings should enable future in vitro studies and help delineate the unique cellular pathways of AL, thus expediting the development of specific treatments for patients with this disorder.

Making Ends Meet by Mining on Blockchain: Subalternity, Materiality, and Yearnings of Chinese Amateur Crypto-miners
Authors: Hou Jiaxi
Published: June 2023

While public narratives indicate that blockchain is widely used in developed societies among privileged elites, either from socio-economic, ethnic, or techno-cultural perspectives, this study examines how some disadvantaged marginal others, specifically the subaltern shehuiren in China, survive in the increasingly precarious post-socialist Chinese society by engaging with blockchain and cryptocurrencies. Literally translated as “society people”, shehuiren are the socio-economically and techno-culturally disadvantaged others who face marginality due to various post-socialist institutional inequalities. This study aims at unpacking how, on the one hand, the blockchain scene has been reconfigured by the disadvantaged in the local context, and on the other hand, how subalternity is actualized in post-socialist China, where blockchain-related technologies deeply intertwine with various forms of social inequalities. By tracing a group of shehuiren crypto miners through ethnography, I demonstrate that this subaltern scene of blockchain not just reshapes the shehuiren individuals’ notion of time, space, and value and the social relationship among themselves, but also profoundly impacts the power dynamics between the subalterns, the more privileged others, and the state authorities. Specifically, I underline that, despite being treated as losers, outsiders, and potential wrongdoers due to the existing social structures, shehuiren miners are neither victims nor rebels opposing either the authoritarian state or the global neoliberal order. Instead, they are actors who harvest limited profits through their unacknowledged creativity, adeptly making use of various resources within their reach and weaving their differential aspirations by attaching themselves to the larger technology-mediated networks in an unequal post-socialist society where a united subaltern hardly exists.

Rumor, an Anarchimedium
Authors: Szendy Peter
Published: June 2023

Beyond the only text Jean-Luc Nancy explicitly dedicated to it (‘Rumoration’ in La Ville au loin), rumor lurks in the background — under the surface — of any discourse on community, or on being-with. Following closely Nancy’s thought process in ‘Rumoration’ (Nancy presents himself as walking, wandering in the city), this article interweaves fragments of a genealogy of rumor, from the ancient Greek logopoios to today’s ‘fake news’. But rumor is precisely what evades genealogy, so although it can be thought of as an archimedium (pure mediality, as Maurice Blanchot suggests), its floating texture, made up of references to references, turns it into a kind of anarchistructure.
Spooker Trouper: ABBA Voyage, Virtual Humans and the Rise of the Digital Apparition
Authors: Ng Jenna , Bax Nick
Published: June 2023

This article analyses the ‘live’ virtual human in ABBA Voyage, the long-awaited concert reunion of the Swedish pop group ABBA, via Vilém Flusser’s concept of the digital apparition. It first argues for these virtual performers (dubbed ‘ABBA-tars’) to be understood as externalized computational codes which shift the grounds of ownership over and consent to the use of one’s likeness. They are also key to disproportionate and as yet unaccountable power held by technology companies. Secondly, ABBA Voyage’s presentation of ABBA as their past selves places time in a capitalism of immateriality profiting from the protean temporality of bodies. This temporal discombobulation thwarts finitude and confounds time in meanings of life, death and growth. The article thus addresses urgent confrontations between actual and virtual humans placed in the same physical environment, and paves the way for thinking about how we are going to deal and live with their virtuality.
Simone de Beauvoir the Memorialist: The Running Threads Connecting Us
Authors: Henry-Tierney Pauline
Published: June 2023

This article considers the recent publications of French philosopher Simone de Beauvoir, and offers an overview of contemporary scholarship in Beauvoir Studies. Beauvoir’s canonization in Gallimard’s La Pléiade collection in 2018 is discussed, specifically Gallimard’s choice of Beauvoir’s Mémoires for these first two volumes. Exploring the imbrication of Beauvoir’s philosophy with her own lived experience, the article traces what Annie Ernaux describes as the ‘running threads’ connecting us, namely the ways in which Beauvoir’s legacy is interwoven in our lives today. Surveying recent scholarship highlights the pertinence of Beauvoir’s work to contemporary contexts on issues ranging from sexual violence, subjective agency and female subjugation to emancipatory politics and transnational feminist solidarities. Thereafter, the importance Beauvoir placed on self–Other relations is explored in relation to scholarship on Beauvoir’s epistolary exchanges, the publication of her lost novella Les Inséparables, and on Beauvoir’s philosophy of alterity and old age in light of the pandemic.

Published: June 2023

Hypofractionated radiotherapy in the treatment of breast cancer patients has a signifiant advantage over conventional fractionation due to the shorter duration of treatment course while maintaining its antitumor effiacy. Usage of hypofractionated regimens may be restricted in patients with immediate breast reconstruction because of higher rate of complications. The aim of this study is to evaluate the incidence of complications in the reconstructed breast after hypofractionated radiotherapy. The study involved 100 patients with breast cancer after immediate implant-based breast reconstruction who underwent an adjuvant course of external beam radiation therapy with a single dose of 2.67 Gy to a total dose of 40.05 Gy. In our study the incidence of capsular contracture is 8 %, infectious complications – 2.3 %, protrusion – 4.6 %. The total incidence of complications is 15 %, which does not exceed the incidence in conventional fractionation.

Relevance. SARS-CoV-2 and the disease it caused, COVID-19, became the reason of pandemic that changed the entire life of mankind once and for all. In the fist months, due to the lack of reliable data on this virus, experts could not even imagine how this situation would affect cancer patients. With the accumulation of experience in working with these patients in the conditions of the COVID-19 pandemic, articles summarizing information about the incidence of new coronavirus infection (NCI) and its course in cancer patients began to appear in medical publications. Up-to-date information on this topic is presented in this review.Target. The study of the prevalence and features of the course of COVID-19 based on the analysis of current scientifi publications on this topic.Results. The course of COVID-19 depends on many factors, including age, gender, comorbidity, ECOG status, recent cytotoxic chemotherapy, and the type of solid tumor.Conclusions. Due to the absence of a register of the incidence of COVID-19 in Russia, cancer patients do not have a complete understanding of how the tumor process proceeds after recovery from NCI. This requires further research and in-depth analysis.

Children need a book that has moral values and provides opportunities for them to explore their imagination and their childhood world. Today, there are many translated books from various backgrounds in the world. Translated children's story books must be communicative in nature so that they are easy to understand and are able to attract children's attention, as well as provide a pleasant experience while reading. However, there are often obstacles to translation, one of which is cultural translation. For this reason, it is necessary to have an appropriate strategy for translating these cultural terms, especially story books for children. This research aims to analyze the translation strategies for cultural terms found in four selected children's story books from the digital library Let's Read Asia – The Asia Foundation so that the translators can take it as things into consideration to translate similar terms. These cultural terms are classified into five categories of cultural words according to Newmark (1988), then the translation strategies are identified. The author refers to the theory of cultural translation strategies from several experts such as Newmark (1988), Baker (2011), and Hoed (2006), some of whose strategies are similar to one another.

This study analyzes the partnership relationship between Online Application Transportation Service companies (JAAD) and drivers in legal sociology. The transportation service company is an association of several capital owners to create an application-based transportation business in the network (online). Its presence is not necessarily followed by the availability of adequate statutory instruments. As a result, quite complicated legal issues arise related to the weak legal protection of partners from the JAAD company. Weak legal protection can lead to social and legal precariatization of partners by citizenship. This is important considering that the partners of the In-network Application Transportation Services (JAAD) company, of whom there are millions, are citizens of the Republic of Indonesia who are under the auspices of the constitution. This study used a qualitative research method with a normative and comparative approach to a number of laws, government regulations, and ministerial regulations. In addition, the legal sociology approach was used to obtain qualitative data related to social and legal aspects of vulnerability and resistance. The results of the study showed that JAAD requires many people to earn income but the legal protection for JAAD’s corporate partners is weak, so they tend to be disadvantaged, exploited so that partners experience social, political and legal precariatization.

Gender socialization in the family is intended for children to learn about gender roles. It is the family that begins to teach a boy to adhere to masculine traits and a daughter to adhere to feminine traits. This gender learning process is often influenced by factors outside the family which then have an impact on gender equality. Therefore, research was conducted to examine how the environment influences the implementation of gender equality in the family. This study used a combined approach to collect and analyze quantitative and qualitative data because researchers wanted to see trends in data regarding the influence of the environment on gender equality in the family. The results of the study showed that the environment has a significant influence on the implementation of gender equality in the family. The higher the environmental exposure, the higher tendency of respondents not to implement gender equality. This means that there are still differences between boys and girls related to the type of task, type of toys, type of character, pride, and type of color. Every boy or girl already has their own references that have been determined by the family and influenced by the environment. The neighboring factor becomes the dominant factor, in which respondents are aware of these differences, compared to the mass media, friends, and parents. This implies that neighbors are a factor that has a significant influence on respondents in applying differentiation.

Background: The effects of cannulated screws made of polyetheretherketone (PEEK) on the biomechanical properties of the vertebral body during vertebra-pediculoplasty remain unclear. This study aimed to investigate whether PEEK screws have the potential to replace titanium alloy screws.

Methods: The surgical model of two different materials of screws was constructed using the finite element method. The biomechanical effects of the two models on the vertebral body under different working conditions were compared.

Results: ① The peak von Mises stress of PEEK screws was significantly lower than that of titanium screws, with a reduction ranging from 52% to 80%. ② The von Mises stress values for the injured T12 spine were similar for both materials. Additionally, the segmental range of motion and intervertebral disc pressure showed no significant difference between the two materials.

Conclusion: PEEK screws demonstrated advantages over titanium screws and may serve as a viable alternative for screw materials in vertebra-pediculoplasty.

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is highly aggressive and does not express estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone (PR), or human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2). It has a poor prognosis, and traditional endocrine and anti-HER2 targeted therapies have low efficacy against it. In contrast, surgery, radiotherapy, and/or systemic chemotherapy are relatively effective at controlling TNBC. The resistance of TNBC to currently available clinical therapies has had a significantly negative impact on its treatment outcomes. Hence, new therapeutic options are urgently required. Chimeric antigen receptor T cell (CAR-T) therapy is a type of immunotherapy that integrates the antigen specificity of antibodies and the tumor-killing effect of T cells. CAR-T therapy has demonstrated excellent clinical efficacy against hematological cancers. However, its efficacy against solid tumors such as TNBC is inadequate. The present review aimed to investigate various aspects of CAR-T administration as TNBC therapy. We summarized the potential therapeutic targets of CAR-T that were identified in preclinical studies and clinical trials on TNBC. We addressed the limitations of using CAR-T in the treatment of TNBC in particular and solid tumors in general and explored key strategies to overcome these impediments. Finally, we comprehensively examined the advancement of CAR-T immunotherapy as well as countermeasures that could improve its efficacy as a TNBC treatment and the prognosis of patients with this type of cancer.

Weight gain is a known adverse effect of ruxolitinib, a JAK1/2 inhibitor that is the mainstay of treatment for many patients with myelofibrosis. The mechanisms behind weight increase with ruxolitinib is incompletely understood, although decreased adipose tissue lipolysis and increased appetite due to blocking the effects of leptin in the hypothalamus have been proposed. In order to explore the metabolic changes in ruxolitinib-treated patients with myelofibrosis, we performed a pilot study to assess the feasibility of using a portable indirect calorimeter to quantify energy expenditure before and during ruxolitinib treatment and report the results of two patients. Waist circumference increased during ruxolitinib treatment in both patients. Energy expenditure initially increased followed by a decrease and then increase again, but to levels below baseline. These results suggest that weight gain secondary to ruxolitinib may be related to changes in whole body energy expenditure.
