Published: November 2021

Subacute combined degeneration (SCD) is a metabolic disease caused by deficiency of vitamin B12. Rarely, it could be associated with genetic problem. An old male presented with progressive both hands weakness. Laboratory study showed deficiency of vitamin B12, but the cause was not clear. We performed a genetic study and methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) C677T homozygous polymorphism with 30% of normal enzyme activity was confirmed. This case suggests SCD may occur in association with a genetic problem with MTHFR C677T polymorphism.

Authors: Lee Ju-Young , Ma Hyeo-il , Kim Young Eun
Published: November 2021

Parkinson’s disease is a neurodegenerative disease compromising progressive motor and non-motor features for a long disease course. Although many drugs controlling parkinsonian symptoms were discovered, treatment with disease-modifying or halting effect was not developed to date. The exploration of reliable biomarkers would be helpful for better predicting disease progression and thereby successful development of disease-modifying therapy. In this review, we will review the clinical biomarkers in the prodromal stage and biomarkers using biological tissue in Parkinson’s disease.

Published: November 2021

Poststroke epilepsy is the most common cause of epilepsy in adult. Acute symptomatic seizure is a provoked seizure usually caused by systemic metabolic disorders. If stroke patient has a seizure, it is very important to discriminate whether it is a poststroke epilepsy or provoked seizure. The reason is that there are differences in the approach to treatment and the continuation of antiepileptic drugs. We report a stroke mimic patient who had two different mechanisms of focal seizures.

Published: November 2021

A study was conducted to explore the reading strategies of ESL (English as a Second Language) engineering students. The subjects of the study were 52 B.Tech students. The research focused on investigating the reading process of ESL students. The think-aloud procedure and reading strategy inventory were used to collect the data. Three pilot studies were conducted to validate quantitative and qualitative research procedures. A 40-item reading strategy inventory was administered to identify the engineering students' reading strategy use.  The scores obtained in the reading strategy inventory has been compared to the verbal reports elicited through the think-aloud procedure.  Data analysis presents an overview of the frequency of strategy use while reading an academic-related text. The paper examines the effectiveness of reading strategy inventory and think-aloud procedure for reading process research. The findings of the study discuss the data collection procedure relevant to reading process research. The study highlights challenges in validating quantitative and qualitative research procedures and suggests ways to overcome them.
A Morphological Analysis of Akan Honorific and Title Names for God
Authors: Yeboah Samuel , Ofori Emmanuel Amo , Abrefa Kofi Busia
Published: November 2021

This study is motivated by our observation that earlier works have looked at Akan personal names either from sociolinguistics or non-linguistic perspectives; however, a critical morphological analysis of the structure of Akan honorific and title names for God has eluded researchers in linguistics. It is based on this background that we conduct a thorough morphological investigation into Akan honorific and title names for God, with the aim of addressing the morphological processes that account for their derivation. Drawing on data from both primary and secondary sources, the analysis reveals that Akan honorific and title names ascribed to God have complex nominals and this is manifested through affixation, compounding and reduplication. It further shows that some of the names are recursive in nature and are therefore derived through nominalization of sentences or clauses, especially those that undergo compounding.
DYNAMICS OF TURBIDITY OF RIVER WATER ON THE LEFT-BANK TRIBUTARIES OF THE DNIEPER (ON THE EXAMPLE OF THE SUMY REGION)
Authors: DANYLCHENKO O.S. , KORNUS A.O. , KORNUS O.H. , KHARCHENKO Y.V.
Published: November 2021

The article is devoted to the study of sediment runoff, especially one of the characteristics that reflects erosion processes in the catchment area, water turbidity using the example of the rivers of the Sumy region. The main purpose of the article is the spatial and temporal analysis of the turbidity indicators of the rivers of the Sumy region (left-bank tributaries of the Dnieper). The article highlights information on the sediment runoff of the rivers in the region for the entire period of observations, describes modern own studies of the turbidity of river water and establishes the features of the formation of sediment runoff in the rivers of the region. It was found that the indicators of turbidity of river water grow in the direction from north to south of the study area, in the zone of mixed forests are minimal, and in the forest-steppe – maximum; high values of the average turbidity index characteristic of small rivers in the region, аmong the average rivers, the maximum values were recorded for the Sula and Vorskla rivers; during floods, turbidity values are maximum, and during low water periods, they are minimal; there is a tendency to an increase in the indicators of maximum and average turbidity of river water.
Particular attention is paid to the influence of river regulation on turbidity indicators. It was found that the deceleration of water exchange is facilitated by the accumulation of sediments in the channel above the dam (high indicators of the thickness of the silt layer), and also below the dam (the creation of a channel island, probably due to the uneven throughput of the dam’s gate valves, which creates a different flow rate from the right and left banks). Decreased flow velocity, increased water turbidity and, as a consequence, siltation, deterioration of river water quality (appearance of swamp odor, decrease in transparency, color change) leads to changes in the species composition of aquatic organisms, extinction of river species and the appearance of atypical river species, overgrowth. In their conclusions, the authors argue that sediment runoff is formed mainly due to washout from the surface of the catchment area, high turbidity indicators in rivers whose basin is more prone to erosion, where the indicators of plowing of the basin surface are maximum, water protection zones and coastal protective belts are destroyed, but when studying the turbidity of river water it is necessary take into account additional factors.
“AGROHYDROCHEMISTRY” (2021) – A CONTRIBUTION TO THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PROVISIONS OF THE “NITRATE DIRECTIVE” 91/676 / EEC IN UKRAINE
Authors: Zabokrytska M.R.
Published: November 2021

The article presents and analyzes the textbook “Agrohydrochemistry” (author V.K. Khilchevsky – professor of the Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv), published in 2021. The textbook examines the main problems associated with the growth of the chemicalization of agriculture and the protection of water resources. Due to agriculture, there is a noticeable impact on the quality of natural waters in the world, especially in regions of intensive agriculture, to which Ukraine belongs. Increased concentrations of nutrients and various types of pesticides are found in the waters of small and large rivers, groundwater. Therefore, the issues of studying the main sources of agricultural pollution of natural waters and the processes that contribute to this are relevant. Among the main sources of pollution of natural waters with wastewater, namely industrial, household and agricultural – the latter have a specific character of formation and flow into water bodies. If industrial and domestic wastewater is localized behind the formation and place of discharge into the sewer network, then the formation and supply of chemicals from agricultural land is dispersed throughout the catchment area and natural ways of entering (hydrographic network) into water bodies.
The attention of the world community to the impact of agrochemicals on the quality of natural waters is evidenced by the Directive 91/676/EU adopted in the European Union of December 12, 1991 “On the protection of waters from pollution caused by nitrates from agricultural sources” (abbreviated as “Nitrogen Directive”), which in turn is a local manifestation of the integrating directive 2000/60/EC of October 23, 2000 “On the establishment of a framework for Community activities in the field of water policy” (abbreviated WFD – “EU Water Framework Directive”), aimed at achieving a good ecological state of natural waters in the regions river basins.
Agrohydrochemistry is a direction in hydrochemistry that studies the effect of agrochemical agents on the chemical composition of natural waters using theoretical methods and the results of experimental studies in watersheds.
The textbook, which consists of 9 chapters, gives an idea of the formation of the balance of chemicals in the soil, the use of various types of fertilizers and pesticides, and the possible ways of their entry into water bodies. Methods for calculating the flow of chemicals into water bodies are presented. The theoretical provisions are illustrated by the materials of our own research on the effect of agrochemicals on the chemical composition of river waters in the Dnieper basin. The textbook is designed for students of the specialty “Earth Sciences” of educational programs of the hydrological profile of higher educational institutions..

Published: November 2021

BACKGROUND: The stigma of people living with HIV (PLHIV) remains an urgent problem of modern science. Meanwhile, it can be stated that there is a lack of methods used to study stigmatization.
AIM: The aim of this study was to evaluate the stigmatization of PLHIV among healthcare workers of the obstetric and gynecological service.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study included 232 doctors and nurses of the obstetric and gynecological service and was conducted from April to November 2018. We adapted the Questionnaire for Doctors and Nurses Views on People Living with HIV/AIDS and the Comprehensive Health Staff Questionnaire (for sentinel surveillance) for this study.
RESULTS: We have studied the current level of awareness of healthcare workers of the obstetric and gynecological service regarding the ways of HIV transmission and methods of treatment. The contradictory attitudes of medical workers towards PLHIV were considered. On the one hand, medical professionals believe that, regardless of their status, the patient deserves qualified assistance. On the other hand, they find it difficult to assess the moral aspect of HIV infection. Dependences of the level of awareness and the peculiarities of attitudes towards PLHIV on sociodemographic characteristics were established.
CONCLUSIONS: This article analyzes the results of the pilot study of stigmatization of PLHIV among healthcare workers of the obstetric and gynecological service. We compared our own results with the data obtained by domestic and foreign authors and discussed the similarities and differences in the conclusions. The limitations of this pilot study were analyzed, with the probable ways of further work proposed and outlined.
Technology for predicting abnormal labor
Authors: Mudrov Viktor A. , Yakimova Anna V.
Published: November 2021

BACKGROUND: Abnormal labor is the most common complication of labor. It occurs in 10-15% cases of labor and is an indication for operative delivery in a third of all cases. Until now, there are no effective ways to predict abnormal labor. Meanwhile, the use of high-tech forecasting methods is not available for a wide range of obstetric institutions in the Russian Federation.
AIM: The aim of this study was to create a technology for predicting abnormal labor, based on generally available methods of laboratory and instrumental research.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Based on the data collected in the Regional Clinical Hospital Perinatal Center, Chita, Russia in 2018-2021, the retrospective analysis of 200 cases of labor was carried out. The total sample was divided into four study groups: 100 women with normal labor activity (group 1), 30 women with uterine inertia (group 2), 30 women with incoordinate uterine activity (group 3), and 50 women with excessive uterine activity (group 4). The groups were comparable in terms of age, anthropometric parameters and extragenital pathology. All women on the eve of labor (1-2 days) underwent general clinical and ultrasound examination. Statistical processing of the results was carried out using the IBM SPSS Statistics version 25.0 software.
RESULTS: The technology for predicting abnormal labor is implemented based on a multilayer perceptron, with the percentage of incorrect predictions being 21.3%. The structure of the trained neural network included nine input neurons: labor parity, gestational age, leukocyte count, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, total protein concentration, amniotic fluid index, biparietal size, as well as fetal head and abdomen circumference.
CONCLUSIONS: An integrated approach based on generally available laboratory and instrumental research methods, such as complete blood count and biochemical blood test, as well as ultrasound examination, on the eve of labor allows for predicting the abnormal labor development with an accuracy of up to 70%. The use of this technology in clinical practice will help, in the future, not only to prevent abnormal labor, but also to reduce the incidence of adverse obstetric and perinatal outcomes.
Stress urinary incontinence in women. Possibilities of conservative therapy
Authors: Rusina Elena I. , Zhevlakova Maria M. , Yarmolinskaya Maria I.
Published: November 2021

The relevance of this study is due to the high prevalence of stress urinary incontinence in women of different age groups and the search for effective conservative treatment methods.
The aim of this study was to present scientific data based on modern evidence on the effectiveness of conservative treatment methods and their safety in the treatment of stress urinary incontinence in women.
A review of the literature (original articles, systematic reviews) on the use of conservative therapy for the treatment of stress urinary incontinence in women was carried out.
Depending on the severity of stress urinary incontinence in women, their age and concomitant diseases, the options for the proposed treatment may vary. For the conservative treatment of the disease, along with lifestyle modification and the use of hygiene products, it is possible to use training and electromyostimulation of the pelvic floor muscles, innovative laser technologies, and drug therapy. The first line therapy is to train ones pelvic floor muscles. The best effect of the training is observed in younger patients with mild to moderate severity of the disease using stationary biofeedback simulators under the supervision of medical staff. An alternative to this type of treatment is to conduct training of the pelvic floor muscles in the biofeedback mode with portable simulators remotely under the supervision of specially trained personnel. In connection with the coronavirus pandemic, this therapy is gaining wide popularity, as every patient should be offered acceptable and effective treatment options.
Modern concepts of etiology, pathogenesis and risk factors for preeclampsia
Authors: Abramova Maria Yu. , Churnosov Mikhail I.
Published: November 2021

Preeclampsia is a serious complication of pregnancy and complicates its course in 2-8% of all cases. According to the literature, the disease is associated with an increase in maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality, and is a predictor of the development of chronic diseases in the distant future, which is an important medical and social issue. Of particular interest is the study of the molecular mechanisms of etiopathogenesis and risk factors for preeclampsia, which, unfortunately, are currently poorly studied and understood, thus dictating the need for further study of this complication of pregnancy. This article discusses the current understanding of the etiology, pathogenesis and risk factors for preeclampsia.

Published: November 2021

As long-period ground motion holds the key to understanding the interior of the Earth’s Moon, reducing long-period noise sources will be an essential area of focus in the design of future lunar seismometers. For the proposed Lunar Geophysical Network (LGN), the International Lunar Network (ILN) Science Definition Team specifies that an LGN enabling seismometer will need to be more sensitive than any previous seismometer at frequencies below 1 Hz. In an effort toward lowering the seismometer noise floor for lunar geophysical missions, we evaluate the 1/f Brownian noise and the temperature sensitivity of a seismometer. Temperature sensitivity of a seismometer is related to an important component of the seismometer output noise that is proportional to the temperature noise in the environment. The implications of the ILN requirement are presented in the context of the state-of-the-art InSight Seismic Experiment for Interior Structure (SEIS) Very Broad Band (VBB) planetary seismometer. Brownian noise due to internal friction was estimated for future lunar operation after accounting for the rebalance of the product of mass and distance to the center of gravity of the pendulum for the SEIS-VBB sensor. We find that Brownian noise could be a limiting factor in meeting the ILN requirement for lunar seismometers. Further, we have developed a formalism to understand the temperature sensitivity of a seismometer, relating it quantitatively to the local gravity, the thermoelastic coefficient of the spring, change in center of gravity, and the coefficient of thermal expansion of the mechanical structures. We found that in general the temperature sensitivity of a seismometer is proportional to the local gravity, and so the temperature sensitivity can be reduced when operating on a planetary body with lower gravity. Our Brownian noise and temperature sensitivity models will be useful in the design of the next generation of planetary seismometers.

Since its deployment at the surface of Mars, the Seismic Experiment for Interior Structure (SEIS) instrument of the InSight mission has detected hundreds of small-magnitude seismic events. In this work, we highlight some features of two specific families: high-frequency (HF) and very-high-frequency (VF) events. We characterize the shape of the energy envelopes of HF and VF events with two parameters: (1) the delay time td between the onset and the peak of the dominant arrival; and (2) the quality factor Qc, which quantifies the energy decay rate in the coda. We observe that the envelope of HF and VF events is frequency independent. As a consequence, a single delay time suffices to characterize envelope broadening in the 2.5–7.5 Hz band. The typical coda decay time is also frequency independent, as attested by the close to linear increase of Qc with frequency. Finally, we use elastic radiative transfer theory to perform a series of inversion of seismogram envelopes for the attenuation properties of the Martian lithosphere. The good fit between synthetic and observed envelopes confirms that multiple scattering of elastic waves released by internal sources is a plausible explanation of the events characteristics. We quantify scattering and attenuation properties of Mars and highlight the differences and similarities with the Earth and the Moon. The albedo, that is, the contribution of scattering to the total attenuation, derived from VF events is very high, which we interpret as a signature of a mostly dry medium. Our results also suggest a stratification of the scattering and attenuation properties.

The Interior Exploration using Seismic Investigations, Geodesy and Heat Transport (InSight) seismometer was deployed to the surface of Mars in December 2018–February 2019. The specific deployment conditions, which are very different from those of a standard broadband instrument on the Earth, result in resonances caused by different parts of the sensor assembly (SA) that are recorded by the seismometer. Here, we present and characterize the resonances known to be present in the SA and their causes to aid interpretation of the seismic signals observed on Mars. Briefly, there are resonances in the SA at about 2.9, 5.3, 9.5, 12, 14, 23–28, and 51 Hz. We discuss various methods and tests that were used to characterize these resonances, and provide evidence for some of them in data collected on Mars. In addition to their relevance for the high frequency analysis of seismic data from InSight, specifically for phase measurements near the resonant frequencies, the tests and observations described here are also of potential use in the further development of planetary seismometers, for example, for Mars, the Moon, or Europa.
Evaluation of Intensity Prediction Equations (IPEs) for Small-Magnitude Earthquakes
Authors: Teng Ganyu , Baker Jack W. , Wald David J.
Published: November 2021

This study assesses existing intensity prediction equations (IPEs) for small unspecified magnitude (M ≤3.5) earthquakes at short hypocentral distances (Dh) and explores such earthquakes’ contribution to the felt shaking hazard. In particular, we consider IPEs by Atkinson and Wald (2007) and Atkinson et al. (2014), and evaluate their performance based on “Did You Feel It” (DYFI) reports and recorded peak ground velocities (PGVs) in the central United States. Both IPEs were developed based on DYFI reports in the central and eastern United States with moment magnitudes above Mw 3.0. DYFI reports are often used as the ground truth when evaluating and developing IPEs, but they could be less reliable when there are limited responses for small-magnitude earthquakes. We first compare the DYFI reports with intensities interpolated from recorded PGVs. Results suggest a minimal discrepancy between the two when the intensity is large enough to be felt (i.e., M >2 and Dh<15  km). We then compare intensities from 31,617 DYFI reports of 3049 earthquakes with the two IPEs. Results suggest that both the IPEs match well with observed intensities for 2.0< M <3.0 and Dh<10  km, but the IPE by Atkinson et al. (2014) matches better for larger distances. We also observe that intensities from DYFI reports attenuate faster compared with the two IPEs, especially for distances greater than 10 km. We then group DYFI reports by inferred VS30 as a proxy for site amplification effects. We observe that intensities at sites with VS30 around 300 m/s are consistently higher than at sites with VS30 around 700 m/s and are also closer to the two IPEs. Finally, we conduct hazard disaggregation for earthquakes at close distances (Dh=7.5  km) using the observed records. Results suggest that earthquakes with magnitudes below M 3.0 contribute more than 40% to the occurrence of felt shaking.

ARE THE GROSS SAVINGS VOLUMES AND DETERMINANTS OF THE MINT COUNTRIES
Authors: KAYMAZ Volkan , ÖZGÜN Fergül
Published: November 2021

MINT countries stand out with their growth potential among developing countries. Although their structu-ral characteristics, macroeconomic indicators and institutional development differ from each other, MINT countries are expected to become global economic actors in the near future. One of the important deter-minants of becoming a global economic power is savings rates and, accordingly, the volume of invest-ments. Savings are the most important factor that is effective in increasing investments and accelerating the process of economic growth in developing countries. In this study, the savings rates of MINT countries are examined both in terms of volume and determining variables and similarities and differences between MINT countries are tried to be determined. In the study, ARDL boundary test approach is adopted by con-sidering the period between 1980-2018. According to the results obtained, the factors that are effective in determining savings rates in each country are different from each other; however, it is concluded that the current account deficit, age dependency ratio and foreign direct investment are effective in determining savings rates.

“I’m Goan Because I Eat Goan Food”: A Critical Look at the History of Goan Canadians
Authors: Ihsan Aqeel
Published: November 2021

The conceptualization of identity around food is not new to Canadian historiography. Many contemporary historians have, by analyzing culinary narratives such as cookbooks and oral interviews, illustrated how food acts as an intellectual and emotional anchor for immigrant subjects and becomes a source of identity for them in their new country. This study, which examines menus from various Goan Canadian cultural events, finds that Goan Canadians have a complex relationship with traditional foods, and that food was not as important a boundary marker for their identity as the scholarship might suggest. Instead, Goans in Canada developed their own distinct sense of identity based on community, celebrations of holidays, village feasts, and other social events.

Procesos Culturales y Diseños Posibles
Authors: Avenburg Karen
Published: November 2021

El Proyecto de Investigación 1.1 observa que el campo cultural y el campo del diseño, en principio ámbitos de formación, acción e investigación diferenciados, se atraviesan mutuamente, tanto en el plano conceptual como en el nivel de las prácticas. Desde las ciencias antropológicas, se pone el foco en el concepto de cultura y se parte de allí para atender a sus entrecruzamientos con el diseño. Por un lado, entendiendo a la cultura como procesos activos de construcción y disputa por los significados, se puede pensar el diseño en sus diferentes vertientes y manifestaciones (diseños de productos, de espacios, de artes escénicas, de artes audiovisuales, de estrategias de comunicación, etc.) como campos de disputas por la construcción de sentidos. Además, el diseño se desarrolla siempre en un marco sociocultural. Por el otro lado, es factible considerar a los objetos, prácticas y representaciones culturales en clave del diseño que les da forma, de las valoraciones que esos diseños recrean, modifican o sostienen, y de las políticas que los direccionan.
Visiones del Diseño II: Diseñadores Eco-Sociales
Authors: Di Bella Daniela V. , Irwin Terry
Published: November 2021

El Proyecto de Investigación 4.3 pretende indagar sobre los panoramas diagnósticos y/o propositivos que se mueven dentro de las principales problemáticas del campo proyectual y disciplinar, relacionados con las demandas a las que se enfrenta el diseño en la contemporaneidad. Reflexiona sobre cinco categorías temáticas que cubren algunas de las demandas actuales y proyectivas del diseño del plano local y global relacionadas: el Diseño para la Transición, los Ecomateriales, la Teoría del Diseño, el Diseño Estratégico y la Economía Circular. Se articula en dos partes (a) El Diseñador como agente de cambio iniciado en el Proyecto 4.2 fundamentalmente con el Informe de Impacto de la Implementación de la Experiencia Diseño en Perspectiva (Cuaderno 80: 173-239); y (b) con la apertura del Proyecto 4.3 cuyas exploraciones basan su nombre en la idea del desarrollo de lentes potencialmente útiles para el desarrollo de visiones de futuros sostenibles.

La imagen como creadora de significado
Authors: Steiner Mara
Published: November 2021

El Proyecto de Investigación 10.3 aborda desde distintas disciplinas, el modo en que las imágenes de la fotografía, la pintura, el arte, la publicidad, entre otras conectan ideas para impactar en el mundo. Se interpela a la imagen en tanto creadora de significado y se plantean enfoques que permiten una aproximación estética, sociológica y semiótica de la lectura de las representaciones visuales. Se orienta al reconocimiento del papel que las imágenes han operado y continúan operando, en la conformación de las percepciones sociales relacionadas con la sociedad, la identidad y el conflicto social. De este modo se indaga y se aportan elementos teóricos y metodológicos que facilitan la comprensión de los aspectos sociales y culturales involucrados en los procesos y productos de la práctica estética.
Visibilizaciones y ocultamientos de la imagen: Reflexiones sobre el impacto de la imagen
Authors: Niedermaier Alejandra , Páez Vanegas Camilo
Published: November 2021

El Proyecto de Investigación 10.4 aborda y argumenta como la visualidad contemporánea manifiesta actualmente una enorme incidencia sobre lo sensible y lo inteligible y, por este motivo, solicita asumirla como un objeto teórico. Se aborda una interrogación sobre la condición de posibilidad de la imagen de visibilizar, y su contracara de ocultar, en tanto las instancias intermedias hallables. Se profundiza en la pregunta de hasta donde es posible mostrar lo real y, además, cómo mostrarlo. Se estudia a la imagen como una unidad temporal contenedora del relato de su creación, desde su elaboración hasta la duración de su materialización, como síntoma del tiempo, en sí misma y por el acto de la mirada y los efectos de la contemplación. Se reflexiona sobre aquello que es visto y lo no visto, lo visible y lo invisible, la negación de la imagen, la no imagen, en la relación que la interpreta como fenómeno histórico social, las estrategias que aportan a la mutabilidad de la imagen entendida como un dispositivo que afecta a la poesía, a la práctica y a la educación.
