Published: December 2022

Craniopharyngiomas (CP) are rare noncancerous brain tumors located in the skull base. To date, CP remain challenging-to-resect tumors, owing to their difficult location and invasive potential, with profound adverse effects for the patient if left to grow. Indeed, gross total resection may also be accompanied by unwelcome sequalae, underscoring the need for continued investigation. In the present work, we provide a scoping review of current CP management, with emphasis on our knowledge of their genesis, available treatment options, post-intervention clinical outcomes. Leading theories of CP development are (1) the embryonic theory, explaining the development of adamantinomatous CP from epithelial remnants of Rathke’s pouch and (2) the metaplastic theory, which describes papillary CP development as a result of adenohypophyseal cell metaplasia. Treatment may include surgery, intracystic therapy, or irradiation depending on tumor size, history and location. However, whether a single ideal approach and timing for CP intervention exists remains debated. We appraise and critique these areas with priority for emerging basic results and innovation.

This study aimed to examine the impact of thin capitalization rules implementation on corporate tax avoidance in Indonesia. The study used a purposive sampling method from firms listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) from 2014 to 2017 and obtain 504 firm-year observations. The data was separated into two categories, high DER firms and low DER firms. Data analysis was conducted using regression models with difference in differences approach and Stata version 14. The result showed that thin capitalization rules significantly decreased tax avoidance both of high DER firms and low DER firms. This study extends previous researches on the impact of thin capitalization rules on tax avoidance. Using difference in difference approach with four years observations, two years before implementation and two years after implementation which is still rarely performed in Indonesia. The number of samples that represent the population become limitation of this study. It occurs since there are few companies listed on the IDX, and audited only by audit firm not according to the DGT.

Differential expression of USP54 in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: December 2022

Neurodegenerative diseases that affect the motor neurons, including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), have little treatment options and are generally rapidly fatal (1, 2). We harnessed the power of unbiased, whole transcriptome differential gene expression analysis, utilizing primary patient cells and tissues to discover genes whose expression defines ALS using published data (3, 4). We found significant differential expression of USP54, encoding ubiquitin specific peptidase 54, in the skeletal muscle of patients with ALS. USP54 was also differentially expressed in primary lower motor neurons isolated from patients with ALS. USP54 transcript was present at significantly higher levels in ALS patient skeletal muscle as compared to control motor neurons. These analyses will begin to define the transcriptional landscape of ALS.
Hidden figures: Revisiting doping prevalence estimates previously reported for two major international sport events in the context of further empirical evidence and the extant literature
Authors: Petroczi Andrea , Cruyff Maarten J.L.F. , de Hon Olivier , Sagoe Dominic , Saugy Martial
Published: December 2022

High levels of admitted doping use (43.6% and 57.1%) were reported for two international sport events in 2011 in Ulrich et al., 2018. Because these are frequently referenced in evaluating aspects of anti-doping, having high level of confidence in these estimates is paramount. In this study, we present new prevalence estimates from a concurrently administered method, the Single Sample Count (SSC), and critically review the two sets of estimates in the context of other doping prevalence estimates. Estimates with the SSC model for 12-month doping prevalence were lower than previously reported : 21.2% (95%CI: 9.69–32.7) at WCA and 10.6% (95%CI: 1.76–19.4) at PAG. Estimated herbal, mineral, and/or vitamin supplements use was 8.57% (95%CI: 1.3-16.11) at PAG. Caution in interpreting these estimates as bona fide prevalence rates is warranted. Noncompliance appears to be the Achilles heel of the indirect estimation models thus it should be routinely tested for and minimized. Further research into cognitive and behaviour aspects, including motivation for honesty, is needed to improve the ecological validity of the estimated prevalence rates.
Tool-use training in augmented reality: Plasticity of forearm body schema does not predict sense of ownership or agency in older adults
Authors: Jahanian Najafabadi Amir , Küster Dennis , Putze Felix , Godde Ben
Published: December 2022

In young adults (YA) who practised controlling a virtual tool in augmented reality (AR), the emergence of a sense of body ownership over the tool was associated with the integration of the virtual tool into the body schema (BS). Agency emerged independent of BS plasticity. Here we aimed to replicate these findings in older adults (OA). Although they are still able to learn new motor tasks, brain plasticity and learning capacity are reduced in OA. We predicted that OA would be able to gain control over the virtual tool indicated by the emergence of agency but would show less BS plasticity as compared to YA. Still, an association between BS plasticity and body ownership was expected. OA were trained in AR to control a virtual gripper to enclose and touch a virtual object. In the visuo-tactile (VT) but not the vision-only (V) condition, vibro-tactile feedback was applied through a CyberTouch II glove when the tool touched the object. BS plasticity was assessed with a tactile distance judgement task (TDJ) where participants judged distances between two tactile stimuli applied to their right forearm. Participants further rated their perceived ownership and agency after training. As expected, agency emerged during the use of the tool. However, results did not indicate any changes in the BS of the forearm after virtual tool-use training. Also, an association between BS plasticity and the emergence of body ownership could not be confirmed for OA. Similar to YA, the practice effect was stronger in the visuo-tactile feedback condition compared with the vision-only condition. We conclude that a sense of agency may strongly relate to improvement in tool-use in OA independent of alterations in the BS, while ownership did not emerge due to a lack of BS plasticity.
Tracking the Temporal Flows of Mobile Communication in Daily Life
Authors: Ross Morgan Quinn , Bayer Joseph , Rhee Lisa , Potti Ivory , Chang Yung-Ju
Published: December 2022

Prior theoretical perspectives assert that mobile media and communication accelerate time perception. To test this hypothesis, we coupled mobile app logs and experience sampling to capture social app use and time perception in daily life. Participants (N = 132) provided self-reports of time perception (n = 9,081) and recordings of social app use (n = 2,193,655). Although people perceived time as relatively fast on average, results did not support an overall link between social app use and accelerated time perception. Conversely, social media use – but not messaging use – was associated with decelerated time perception. Additionally, person-specific analyses revealed that observed relationships between social app use and time perception were consistent across individuals. We conclude by considering how future mobile communication research will be challenged to measure and model how temporal flows are interwoven with mobile connection in the background of daily life.
Precursors and effects of parental reflective functioning: Links to caregivers' attachment representations and behavioral sensitivity
Authors: Kungl Melanie , Gabler Sandra , White Lars O. , Spangler Gottfried , Vrticka Pascal
Published: December 2022

Parental reflective functioning is thought to provide a missing link between caregivers' own attachment histories and their ensuing parenting behaviors. The current study sought to extend research on this association involving 115 parents, both mothers and fathers, of 5-to-6-year-old preschoolers using the German version of the Parental Reflective Functioning Questionnaire (PRFQ). Our study was the first to combine Adult Attachment Interview classifications of parental attachment, behavioral observations of parental sensitivity and PRFQ ratings while drawing on a sizable father subsample. We found theoretically consistent significant relations between all measures, while our results particularly highlighted the role of dismissing attachment for decreases in parenting quality on both cognitive and behavioral levels as the dismissing status differentially affected specific components of self-reported parental reflective functioning and observed sensitivity. Interestingly, these patterns were largely comparable in mothers and fathers. Exploratory mediation analyses further suggested that decreased parental reflective functioning may partially mediate the relationship between parents’ dismissing attachment and decreased parental sensitivity. Thus, for prevention and intervention programs targeting parental sensitivity and thus children’s long term healthy mental development, the interplay between parental reflective functioning and parents’ own attachment history emerges as a key mechanism. Finally, our study served as a further validation of the Parental Reflective Functioning Questionnaire (PRFQ) given the caveat that the prementalizing scale may need further revision in the German version.

Background People may modify their oral solid dosage form of medicine to deal with problem faced during medicine administration. The modification of dosage form may adversely affect the quality, safety and efficacy of the medicine.

Objective To investigate the causes and practices of oral solid dosage form modification among the consumers going to community pharmacies.

Method A descriptive, cross-sectional study was conducted in five community pharmacies of Kavrepalanchok and Bhaktapur districts of Nepal. The consumers visiting these pharmacies for their oral solid dosage form of medicine were invited to participate in interview using structured questionnaire.

Result Among 419 participants,13.6% of participants reported having problem of taking intact medicine. Most of them (12.4% of total participants) experienced difficulty swallowing the medicine. The swallowing difficulty is significantly associated with age and sex (p < 0.05). Around one third (36.8%) of participant with medicine administration problem modified the dosage form of medicines. One quarter of medicine dosage form modifications (25.0%) were inappropriate. Medicine dosage form modification is associated with age and number of daily medicine intake (p < 0.05). Among participants modifying dosage form of medicines, 66.7% were advised to do so mainly by family and friends; 33.3% were modifying on their own and 76.2% were unaware of possible effects of medicine dosage form modification. About 62.3% of total participants were never asked about any problems on taking medicines by doctor/pharmacists.

Conclusion Difficulty swallowing medicines and medicine dosage form modification were prevalent in the Nepalese population. Medicine dosage form modifications also involved inappropriate modifications due to specialized design of such dosage forms. So, it seems important to provide proper counseling while dispensing such dosage forms.

Published: December 2022

Background The meniscus plays an important role in maintaining healthy articular cartilage. Meniscus tear, one of the common intra-articular knee lesions, is treated by either debridement or repair.

Objective This study aims at identifying the early outcome of meniscus tears treated by debridement or repair. This study also elaborates on the spectrum of meniscal injuries presented in a tertiary care hospital in Nepal.

Method A retrospective descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted at Orthopedic Department of Dhulikhel Hospital from February 2018 until January 2020 among patients who underwent knee arthroscopies for meniscal tears treated either by debridement or repair. Patients having intra articular fractures, osteochondral injuries and multi-ligament injuries were excluded. The meniscal tears were classified according to location and type of tear. Those patients who had at least one-year of follow up were evaluated with Lysholm score for functional outcome. Data were compiled and analyzed with Microsoft Excel 2011.

Result One hundred and ten cases of meniscal tears were managed over the study period. Ninety-three cases could be traced for outcome evaluation, which included 50 cases of meniscal debridement and 43 cases of meniscal repair. The mean Lysholm score of the patients who received debridement was 81.5 (SD 10.4) and those who received meniscal repair was 84.9 (SD 9.1) (p=0.105). The population distribution was found to be similar in both the groups according to age and sex distribution and associated ligamentous injuries.

Conclusion Good functional outcome was seen for meniscal tears managed with debridement or repair in at least one year follow up and could not establish one modality of management better than the other.

Background Glaucoma is one of the major causes of irreversible blindness globally. Almost 60 million people globally are affected by glaucoma making it the second leading cause of blindness worldwide. Diagnosis of glaucoma early on is vital for timely management and prevention of blindness. However, it is challenging to diagnose it early because it is asymptomatic in the initial stage, and there is also the dearth of appropriate screening tools. Awareness, knowledge, and beliefs are believed to influence the treatment-seeking behavior of people as well as their uptake of services.

Objective To assess the awareness and knowledge about glaucoma among general patients and patient attendants visiting Dhulikhel Hospital.

Method We conducted a cross sectional quantitative study among general patients visiting Dhulikhel Hospital. We collected data using face-to-face interviews with semi-structured questionnaires. We analyzed data in R version 4.0.3 (2020-10-10). We presented numerical variables as mean and standard deviation whereas categorical variables as frequency and percentage. We determined factors associated with awareness and knowledge of glaucoma using logistic regression analysis and estimated adjusted odds ratio (AOR) with 95% confidence interval.

Result Of 379 participants, a total of 214 (56.5%) participants had heard about glaucoma. Out of the participants who heard about glaucoma, the mean knowledge score was 48.3±21.7 and 53.3% had good knowledge on glaucoma. The odds of having heard about glaucoma were two percent lower (AOR=0.98; 95%CI: 0.97-0.99; p-value 0.036) in the older participants compared to one year younger participant, 1.98 (95%CI:1.01-3.86; p-value 0.046) times higher among literates and 2.79 (95%CI: 1.76- 4.41; p-value < 0.001) times among participants with previous ocular examination. The odds of having good knowledge was 1.94 (95%CI: 1.10-3.42; p value 0.021) times among participants with previous ocular examinations.

Conclusion The knowledge and awareness regarding glaucoma in a hospital-visiting population in central Nepal was low. Half of the participants were unaware of the disease glaucoma and half of the participants who heard of the glaucoma had poor knowledge on glaucoma.

Background Cerebral neurocysticerosis is a common parasitic disease of human nervous system but evidence on duration of albendazole therapy and their outcomes in this condition is inadequate

Objective To evaluate the impact of varying duration of albendazole therapy on the clinical and radiological outcomes at one month in patients with active solitary neurocysticercosis.

 Method This is an interventional study conducted at Upendra Devkota Memorial National Institute of Neurological and Allied sciences, Bansbari over 1 year (2017 March - 2018 February). One hundred eighteen patients with new onset seizure secondary to active solitary cysticercal granuloma either received albendazole therapy for 1, 3, 9 or 21 days with the usual care or only received the usual care. Clinical and radiological outcomes were observed at one month follow-up. The difference in the proportion of the outcome measures between intervention and control groups were assessed using chi-square test.

Result Our study included 118 patients with male predominance of 61.9%. Albendazole therapy for 3, 9 and 21 days reduced headache by 57.2%, 70.0% and 63.1% respectively which was higher than those with 1-day therapy or without the therapy. This difference in the proportion was statistically significant at p=0.001. Though seizure recurrence also declined but the difference was not significant (p=0.406) between groups. However, at one-month follow-up, majority of patients who received albendazole for 9 days (14, 70%) and 21 days (14, 73.7%) had normal lesion, while most calcified lesion (21, 67.7%) was observed in those who did not receive albendazole therapy. The difference between lesion among the groups was significant (p < 0.001).

Conclusion Albendazole therapy in patients with active solitary neurocysticercosis for 9 days is as effective as 21 days and better than 3 days in headache control and lesion dissolution but seizure control could be achieved irrespective of the treatment.

Published: December 2022

As winter approaches, people in the land of rural Himalayas commonly use fire as the source of heat. Many accidents occur in the process, and mostly the victims are among unattended children and the elderlies. We present a case from rural Nepal where an elderly female sustained fatal burn injuries. Advanced age, greater surface area, and secondary infection were the complicating factors. In the present case, the victim’s clad cloth (Saree) was the harbinger to death. Prevention of infection following burn and control of sepsis still remains the mainstay of treatment in burn victims.
Motor abilities of children with childhood apraxia of speech
Authors: Knežević Dora
Published: December 2022

Previous studies on fine and gross motor skills of children with childhood apraxia of speech (CAS) have reported inconclusive results. In this study, we investigate the motor abilities of children with CAS by focusing on three distinct motor factors: control during movement, fine motor skills/handwriting, and general coordination. Participants included 25 children with CAS and 20 age-matched typically developing (TD) children between the ages of 5 and 7 years. Motor abilities were evaluated using a parent questionnaire - the Croatian version of The Developmental Coordination Disorder Questionnaire (DCDQ-HR). Compared to age-matched TD children, those with CAS showed significantly poorer overall motor ability based on the DCDQ-HR, as well as on all three motor factors: control during movement, fine motor skills/handwriting, and general coordination. Even though their results were worse than TD children, they were still within the range that indicates normal motor abilities. Among the three motor factors considered, children with CAS exhibited significant problems with fine motor skills/handwriting. Children with CAS may not be categorised as children with motor deficits, but they exhibit poor overall motor abilities, especially fine motor skills, compared to TD children. This study supports the premise that co-occurring language impairment is an important variable to consider when discussing motor abilities in CAS.

Published: December 2022

The article describes the Bastak state nature reserve fir-spruce forests current condition. These plant communities had been subjected to anthropogenic impact, primarily logging of the main use in the area, before it received the status of specially protected. The study of plant communities was being carried out from 2004 to 2021 by using classical methods popular with both geobotanists and foresters. This allowed us to obtain a large array of data to analyze the plant community, both from the standpoint of geobotanical classification and allocation of forest types used in forestry. It was determined that fir-spruce trees grow only in the northern half of the Bastak reserve cluster Central, and on the slopes of the southern spurs of the Bureinsky ridge. Based on the original material, the authors identify four types of plant communities. In each type, the main structural units are described: tree stand, undergrowth, living ground cover and extra-level vegetation (if available) – indicating each component dominants. It is given a brief taxation characteristics of plant communities and determined the tree stand formula. It is revealed that all the studied phytocenoses are characterized by a fairly constant species composition, high tree tier closeness and floral poverty of subordinate tiers, especially shrubs. It is determined that florist diversity of plant communities increases from the top to the foot of the mountains; the greatest species diversity is in the valley, and the least one is noted in the alpine fir-spruce forests. The authors have described the ecological conditions and the area of growth of different types of plant communities under study. All studied phytocenoses grow only in fresh or moist brown-taiga soils. The green-mossy fir–spruce forests have the greatest distribution over the area, and the least one – alpine spruce forests.

Celem artykułu jest analiza form współpracy Kościoła Katolickiego z państwem na rzecz pokoju i pojednania na Półwyspie Koreańskim. Tytułem wstępu przedstawiono genezę współczesnych państw koreańskich oraz odmienności ustroju i porządków prawnych Republiki Korei i Koreańskiej Republiki Ludowo-Demokratycznej. Na tym tle, wykorzystując metodę historyczną i prawno-dogmatyczną, usystematyzowano i scharakteryzowano ważniejsze działania Kościoła Katolickiego (na poziomie parafii, diecezji, Konferencji Episkopatu Republiki Korei i Stolicy Apostolskiej), które zostały ukierunkowane na realizację idei zjednoczenia państw koreańskich. Ustalono, że chociaż w konstytucjach obu tych państw dano wyraz dążeniom do pokojowego zjednoczenia, to jednak współpraca instytucji politycznych i kościelnych w omawianym zakresie w małym stopniu opiera się na aktach normatywnych. W praktyce ma ona z reguły charakter nieformalny, a jej powodzenie zależy między innymi od stopnia wzajemnego zaufania stron. Istotne znaczenie posiada też jednak wola mocarstw, które mają swoje interesy w tej części świata. Niemniej jednak to właśnie z zasady pokojowego zjednoczenia Kościół Katolicki wyprowadza swoją kompetencję do współdziałania i wspierania wysiłków na rzecz pojednania i potencjalnego zjednoczenia Półwyspu Koreańskiego.

Published: December 2022

Social justice leadership has become a necessity in education as in many other fields. It is important to see how much this need is met in the world of education, and most importantly, this leadership is seen from the eyes of students. Minimizing the disadvantage in the distance education process is possible with social justice leadership. The aim of this research is to develop a scale of social justice leadership during distance education, based on student opinions. The research was carried out with the participation of 156 students studying in secondary schools in the district of Yerköy, Yozgat. content validity of Scale Of Social Justice Leadership During Distance Education (SSJLDDE) was ensured based on expert opinions. The construct validity of SSJLDDE was evaluated by performing exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analyzes (CFA). The reliability of the SSJLDDE and its sub-dimensions was examined by calculating the Cronbach alpha coefficient. As a result of EFA and CFA, it was seen that SSJLDDE has a structure of 13 items and four factors: critical view, active participation, justice and support. As a result of the examination of the Cronbach alpha coefficient values performed on the factors of the SSJLDDE as a whole, it was seen that the SSJLDDE was highly reliable. Based on these findings, it was concluded that SSJLDDE is a valid and reliable data collection tool that can be used to determine the social justice leadership of teachers in the distance education process based on student opinions at schools.

Published: December 2022

The production of major field crops, namely, rice, wheat, and maize, is highly vulnerable to climatic factors and abiotic stresses. In the present era of climate change, abiotic factors emerged as limiting concerns for flourishing the growth and yield. Among the abiotic factors, temperature, soil moisture, salinity, elevated carbon dioxide levels and solar radiation are the prime concerns for affecting the productivity of major cereals. To combat with the situation, it is necessary to understand the adverse impacts of the abiotic factors on crops with special reference to major cereals. However, adaptation potions are much more important to ensure the agricultural sustainability of major cereals. The available literature reviewed suggested some adaptation options for major cereals to combat the ill effects of abiotic stresses which include the change in variety and crop, manipulation in sowing or transplanting time, adoption of proper nutrient and water management, water conservation measures, adoption of the appropriate crop establishment methods and suitable cropping system. Further, the review article has made some recommendations and future perspectives highlighting the scope of further research for a climate-resilient production of foods for the future considering the adverse effects of the climate change.

Objective: This study aims to determine the frequency of central post-stroke pain (CPSP) in a patient population with stroke as well as investigating the relationship between CPSP and patients' clinical/demographic characteristics, pain intensity, functional status, and quality of life. Methods: The study included 150 patients, who had a stroke and were aged 18 years and above. Demographic data of the patients, time since onset, and etiology, localization of the cerebral lesion, affected side, ambulation status, and Brunnstrom stages were recorded. Douleur neuropathique 4 questions (DN4) were used to assess the presence of CPSP. Visual Analog Scale (VAS) was used for pain intensity, functional ambulation scale (FAS) was used for ambulation status, Barthel Index (BI) was used for functional status, and the stroke impact scale (SIS) was used for quality of life. Results: The mean age of the patients was 67±11.5 years, 54.7% was male, and 45.3% was female. CPSP was evaluated in 15.3% of patients. There was no significant difference between the affected side of the body and age, gender, time since onset, BI scores, and ambulation status of patients according to their CPSP status (p>0.05). There was no statistically significant difference between SIS sub-parameter scores and the presence of CPSP (p>0.05). In correlation analysis, a significant relationship was found between Barthel Indexes and all SIS domains except memory and emotion (p
Modification of Psychotherapeutic Discourse in the Conditions of Online Consulting

Published: December 2022

Remote counseling has become widespread in recent years among broad online communication and is associated with conflicts due to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, language characteristics and features of speech experience during online consultations were not participants in group studies. This work is dedicated to the Royal version of psychotherapeutic discourse in the collection of remote technologies. To achieve the goals set for preliminary research, using the analysis of public interview data, it was revealed that online counseling is indirectly perceived indirectly as an impact and tense, sensitive as a stressor, and changes in discourse are affected as spontaneous coping strategies: different for a psychotherapist. and client verbal and behavioral coping matters. The main research was devoted to the analysis of semantic-syntactic statistics of statements using the method of relational-situational analysis (RSA). During the study, 4 texts of 50 texts in a corpus were collected: replicas of psychotherapists and clients during face-to-face and online counseling. Comparison of therapists' replies, face-to-face and online, showed that there were significant differences in 49 identified features of RSA. When checking customers – 52 indicators. In order to generalize the income increase method, a factorial comparison of the data pooling structure [the pooled data method] was carried out. The resulting factor solutions were interpreted as combined characteristics of psychotherapeutic discourse. For the statements of psychotherapists, 6 such characteristics were identified, for clients – 5. The given changes in the psychotherapeutic discourse are the speech components of a spontaneous coping strategy to overcome the more acute and uncertain online consultation, and its consequences.

Hogyan lehet megmutatni egy digitális kiadás mögött álló filológiai kutatás eredményeit? Ezek olyan adatok, amelyek a levélszövegben, kritikai jegyzetekben, sokszor rejtve vannak jelen, csoportosítva és számszerűsítve viszont szignifikáns információval bírnak. Előadásunkban a Móricz Zsigmondlevelezés digitális kritikai kiadása, illetve a regénykorpusz digitális kiadása alapján gépi eszközökkel készült, további kutatásokra támaszkodó eredményeit prezentáljuk, felvázolva, hogy gépi támogatással milyen új összefüggések válnak láthatóvá a levelezésben. Ezek segítségével más perspektívából tudunk rátekinteni a korpuszunkra, innen továbblépve pedig az írói életműre.

Published: December 2022

Background: Laparoscopic colectomy is performed in an increasing number of institutions as a minimally invasive treatment for benign and malignant large bowel disease. Laparoscopic rectal surgery enables more accurate visualization of the anatomical structure in the pelvic cavity for selected patients with tumors in the middle and low rectum.Objectives: To determine the early outcome of patient who underwent laparoscopic low anterior resection using radial reload stapler.Patients and methods: This is a prospective study of 8 patients with low or mid rectal cancer who underwent a laparoscopic low anterior resection between January 2017 till June 2017 at Saint Raphael hospital.Results: Eight patients underwent elective laparoscopic low anterior resection, 5 (62.5%) of them were male and 3(37.5%) were female. In 6 (75%) patients complete rectal transaction done only radial reload stapler, while the other 2 (25%) patients complete transaction couldn’t be done only by the radial reload stapler and they need one Endo GIATM (Covidien) medium thick purple stapler. There was no anastomotic leakage, no wound infection and no mortality.Conclusion: The primary results and early outcome of this study showed that laparoscopic low anterior resection using radial reload is a safe procedure without increasing the risk of anastomotic leak. Further analysis in a large series is needed to draw definitive conclusions.
The earth-fill dam state express investigation using mechanical vibrations produced by HPP
Authors: Antonovskaya Galina , Kapustyan Natalia
Published: December 2022

The usage of mechanical vibrations produced by the hydropower plant (HPP) turbine may be used for seismic sounding of large-scale constructions as the earth-fill dam and its abutment contacts. Such vibrations are monochromatic oscillations on main frequencies and their harmonics produced by turbine. Seismic sensors installed on the dam's crest and inside it, if it possible, and in the area of abutment contacts register microseisms include HPP turbine operation vibrations which may be extracted by seismic data processing, i.e., filtering. We discuss two data processing possibilities: symphonious filter as the hardware one and power spectrum calculation as digital one. We consider the two case of earth-fill dams state investigations. There are the Chiryurt HPP dam (Republic of Dagestan, Russia, 9.5 m high) and the Nurek HPP dam (Tajikistan, 300 m high). We show the possibilities of seismic express investigations using signals of main frequencies produced by HPP turbine for dam sounding. For Chiryurt dam the extra fluid filtering in the central part of the dam was revealed. Nurek dam abutment contact monitoring showed the temporal variation of its stress-strain state associated with deformation variation 10-5-10-6 presumably due to regional seismicity.

Den Kapitalismus lieben und ihn abschaffen. Ulrike Herrmanns Weg aus der Klimakatastrophe
Authors: Immerfall Stefan
Published: December 2022

Herrmann ist, wie so viele andere Wirtschaftsanalytiker, fasziniert vom Kapitalismus. Dieser ist (war?) das erste und bislang einzige Wirtschaftssystem, das Wohlstand für viele erzeugt. Kapitalismus und Massenkonsum gehen zusammen, im Prinzip jedenfalls. Aber der Preis des Wohlstands ist die Zerstörung der Welt. Der Kapitalismus brauche Wachstum um zu funktioniere, vor allem weil sonst das Kreditsystem zusammenbreche. Und Wachstum auf der Grundlage fossiler Energie befeuert bekanntlich den Klimawandel. Einen Ausweg aus dem zerstörerischen Wachstum scheint es zu geben: "grünes Wachstum". Es will das Wirtschaftssystem nicht antasten, sondern die Technik soll es richten. Sie soll nicht mehr fossile Energie, sondern vor allem Wind und Sonne nutzen. Doch grünes Wachstum ist eine Illusion, so Herrmann. Ein brillantes und wichtiges Buch. Ulrike Herrmann wagt eine konkrete Utopie für eine ökologische Schrumpfkur. Pro Kopf dürfte nicht mehr als eine Tonne CO2 im Jahr ausgestoßen werden. Das entspräche einem Wohlstand, wie ihn Deutschland 1978 aufwies. Damit ließe sich leben, oder?
