HDAC3 Contributes to Ischemic Stroke by Regulating Interferon Pathway
Authors: Wang Jiaxin , Yang Mengmeng , Chen Yang , Liu Yankuo , Zhang Haoliang , Tian Ruijia , Zhao Wujie , Zhu Hongrui , Wang Sheng
Published: October 2023

Background: The inflammation and immune response contribute to ischemic stroke pathology. Damaged brain cells release inflammatory substances to activate the immune system in the acute phase of stroke, including altering the interferon signaling pathway. However, the involvement of histone deacetylation in stroke remains unclear. Methods: To investigate whether histone deacetylation modulation could regulate the interferon signaling pathway and mediate the pathogenic changes after stroke, the middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) mouse model was treated with histone deacetylase 3 (HDAC3) inhibitor and RGFP966. Additionally, a series of approaches, including middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO), real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR), western blot, 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride (TTC) staining, behavioral experiments, and confocal imaging were utilized. Results: It is observed that RGFP966 pretreatment could lead to better outcomes in the MCAO mouse model, including the decrease of infarction volumes, the amelioration of post-stroke anxiety-like behavior, and the relief of inflammatory responses. Furthermore, we found that RGFP966 could counteract the hyperactivation of the interferon signaling pathway and the excessive expression of Z-DNA Binding Protein 1 (ZBP1) in microglia. Conclusions: We demonstrated a novel mechanism that HDAC3 inhibition could ameliorate the pathological injury after ischemic stroke by downregulating the ZBP1/phosphorylated Interferon Regulatory Factor 3 (p-IRF3) pathway. Thus, these data provide a new promising target for therapies for ischemic stroke.

APPLICATION OF LANCHESTER'S MATHEMATICAL LAWS IN MILITARY STRATEGY
Authors: Lystopadova Valentyna , Khalaim Diana
Published: October 2023

Mathematics, as the science of numbers, structures, and models, plays an important role in many aspects of military operations and strategies. From calculating the probability of success or failure of military operations to determining the best ways to deploy troops and resources, mathematics provides military strategists with powerful tools to make informed and effective decisions.
One of the most important aspects of using mathematics in the military is developing strategies for combat operations. From determining the location of troops and the size of forces to the conditions of operations, mathematical methods and models help to optimize decisions.
To determine the probability of success of military operations, mathematics uses probability theory and statistics. This allows us to estimate the probability of achieving the goal, taking into account various factors such as military equipment, enemy location, and other external conditions. The analysis of previous military conflicts and data allows us to statistically estimate probability distributions and predict military events.
Mathematics also plays an important role in solving logistics and resource allocation problems. Determining the optimal route for the movement of troops and resources can be formulated as a path optimization problem.
Mathematical methods are also used in the field of intelligence and the development of new technologies. Cryptography, which protects important information from unauthorized access, is based on complex mathematical algorithms. Mathematical models can also be used to simulate military operations, study the impact of new weapons systems, or analyze missile trajectories.
It is worth adding that mathematical laws help to analyze and predict the outcomes of military conflicts, in particular, to determine the impact of the size and effectiveness of the enemy forces on the probability of success.
In this article, the main focus is on the laws of Lanchester's mathematical models.
The article presents the derivation of Lanchester's linear law and an example of its application.
The mathematical principles of the quadratic Lanchester's law are considered on an example.
It is indicated and highlighted how these mathematical laws can be applied in the context of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict.

A person-centered approach in developmental science: why this is the future and how to get there
Authors: van der Gaag Mandy A. E.
Published: October 2023

This paper argues for a person-centered approach in developmental science and introduces a toolkit of theoretical and empirical techniques to help shift the focus to the individual. The need for a person-centered approach is urgent, because of widespread nonergodicity in developmental psychology: traditional between-individual, group-level statistics often cannot be used to understand individuals over time. Evidence for nonergodicity has been gathering in domains such as personality, emotions, identity, performance and intelligence. This highlights a mismatch between our typical research methods – group-level analyses - and a core aim of developmental science: understanding individual developmental trajectories. The implications are profound. Without insights into within-individual processes, our understanding of development remains incomplete and perhaps even incorrect, which could hinder the design of effective interventions. Many of our developmental theories might need to be adjusted to accurately capture individual-level development. The theory of complex dynamic systems and person-centered simulations offer promising avenues to do this. In addition, many promising person-centered analyses techniques, that typically use long timeseries of data, are available to enhance our understanding of individual-level development. Together, these person-centered theoretical and empirical tools have the potential to help shift developmental science towards an understanding of development that genuinely reflects individual processes.
Neural Investigations of a Digital-game Based Intervention for Young Learners with Mathematical Developmental Variability
Authors: Wang Fengjuan , Jamaludin Azilawati
Published: October 2023

Developmental dyscalculia, a severe mathematics learning difficulty, its neural mechanisms, and effective intervention program remain unclear and under-investigated. Limited research has examined the neural changes following mathematics intervention in young children. This study aimed to investigate neural changes for both dyscalculia-at-risk (DR) and non-dyscalculia-at-risk (NDR) children after a digital game-based intervention, including changes in brain networks in terms of graph theory metrics and brain activation. The NDR children were randomly assigned to either the experimental group with intervention or the control group without intervention. Changes in brain activation were observed in the inferior frontal gyrus (IFG) and intraparietal sulcus (IPS) during different arithmetic tasks. Increased IFG and IPS activations occurred during symbolic arithmetic processing for both DR and NDR intervention groups. Conversely, both intervention groups displayed decreased IFG activation during nonsymbolic arithmetic tasks. Without controlling for Total Reading, an interaction of time, task and group was significant as the intervention only significantly increased the IPS activation of the NDR experimental group in the symbolic task. However, controlling for Total Reading eliminated the group’s difference of the intervention effect, which could be postulated that the intervention effect on groups may be affected by their initial Total Reading abilities. In terms of brain network changes, the results showed that the NDR experimental group improved their neural integration, as evidenced by enhanced clustering coefficient and local efficiency. However, the DR group showed reduced local efficiency, possibly due to shifting brain network states, "maladaptive" neuroplasticity, and inadequate intervention dosage.
Autistic adults exhibit typical sensitivity to changes in interpersonal distance
Authors: Bunce Carl , Gehdu Bayparvah Kaur , Press Clare , Gray Katie , Cook Richard
Published: October 2023

The visual processing differences seen in autism often impede individuals’ visual perception of the social world. In particular, many autistic people exhibit poor face recognition. Here, we sought to determine whether autistic adults also show impaired perception of dyadic social interactions – a class of stimulus thought to engage face-like visual processing. Our focus was the perception of interpersonal distance. Participants completed distance change detection tasks in which they had to make perceptual decisions about the distance between two actors. On half of the trials, participants judged whether the actors moved closer together; on the other half, whether they moved further apart. In a non-social control task, participants made similar judgements about two grandfather clocks. We also assessed participants’ face recognition ability using standardized measures. The autistic and non- autistic observers showed similar levels of perceptual sensitivity to changes in interpersonal distance when viewing social interactions. As expected, however, the autistic observers showed clear signs of impaired face recognition. Despite putative similarities between the visual processing of faces and dyadic social interactions, our results suggest that these two facets of social vision may dissociate.

Fear reactivity is an early emerging temperament trait that predicts longer-term behavioral and health outcomes. The current analysis tests the hypothesis, derived from prior research on temperament and maternal immune activation (MIA), that the prenatal immune system is a reliable predictor of observed fear reactivity in infancy. The analysis is based on a prospective longitudinal cohort study that collected data from the first trimester and conducted observationalassessments of temperament at approximately 12 months of age (n=281 infants). MIA was assessed from immune biomarkers measured in maternal blood at each trimester; infant temperament was assessed using the Laboratory Temperament Assessment Battery (lab-TAB) assessment at 12 months; covariates included family and sociodemographic factors. Patterns of inflammatory markers across gestation reliably predicted observed temperament: elevated prenatal maternal immune activation was associated with high fear reactivity to novel stimuli.The findings provide novel evidence of prenatal origins of fear reactivity and suggest developmental mechanisms that may underlie early emerging individual differences in child temperament
Making ends meet: spatial and socio-economic variations during the 2020- 2021 Covid-19 Lockdown in South Africa
Authors: Rule Stephen , Bekker Martin , Dlamini Simangele
Published: October 2023

To mitigate the ravages of Covid-19, governments across the world imposed limitations on human movement from early 2020 onwards. In South Africa, as elsewhere, such limitations were framed as aiming to achieve a delicate balance between saving lives and livelihoods. One way to test the impact on livelihoods is to look at various socio-economic metrics, and their spatial patterns over time. We draw on data from the UJ-HSRC national Covid-19 Democracy Survey, a weighted, nationally representative sample (n = 38 785), collected from April 2020 to July 2021. Data from four iterations of the survey are used. We assess changes in the socio- economic and psycho-social conditions experienced by the adult population in South Africa, indicative that the experience of socio-economic distress far exceeded the epidemiological impact of the pandemic. Whereas infection rates during this peak period of the pandemic reached about 5% of the population, with provincial variation between 2% and 7%, experience of hunger and/or fear affected more than one-third. We find that feelings of fear were dominant in those areas where livelihoods were most affected by the pandemic, ostensibly caused by uncertainties related to job and income losses reported by a large number of respondents in the economic hubs of the country. Regarding economic distress, results indicated decreases in the large metropolitan areas of Johannesburg and Cape Town, but increases in other parts of the country. The results are significant in providing insight to changing distress levels, which is important for planning for distress relief allocation efforts.
Russian Window East: Museum Research and Exhibition Projects (1996—2023)
Authors:   MAE (Kunstkamera), RAS, Rezvan Efim
Published: October 2023

The ongoing political and economic transformations have resurfaced the perpetual Russian inquiry into its civilizational identity. Against this backdrop, it's impossible not to take note of several noteworthy exhibition and publication initiatives pertaining to Russia's eastern policy throughout the ages. For nearly 30 years, the biggest Russian museums have carried out quite important exhibition projects in various cities, including St. Petersburg, Moscow, Kazan, Washington D. C., Lisbon, London, Amsterdam and Groningen, among others. These exhibitions trace the significant stages of cultural exchange between Russia and the East. The collections of Russian museums are an important indicator of the importance of the East in the formation of the Russian state and the development of Russian culture. The article opens a new permanent section of the journal called In angello cum libello (“In a corner with a book” = “Alone with a book”). This is an abbreviated form of a motto often attributed to Thomas à Kempis (1380—1471), author of a number of treatises on monastic life. The full saying is a mixture of Latin and Dutch: “In omnibus requiem quaesivi, sed non inveni, nisi in hoexkens ende boexkens” (“I have sought peace everywhere, but I have not found it except in nooks and in books”).

ANALISIS YURIDIS PARATE EKSEKUSI DALAM PASAL 6 UNDANG-UNDANG TENTANG HAK TANGGUNGAN YANG BERTENTANGAN DENGAN PASAL 224 HIR
Authors: Korompot Siti Rahayu
Published: October 2023

In carrying out the execution of mortgage rights, if the debtor is negligent or defaults, a warning will be given to the debtor to pay off the debt. However, if the debtor does not respond, direct execution can be carried out on his own power (parate executie) without having to ask for fiat from the Chief Justice and without having to follow the rules of the game in the procedural law. If one looks at the UUHT there is confusion, namely that it is contained in article 6 UUHT with the General Explanation number 9 UUHT and the explanation of Article 14 paragraphs (2) and (3) UUHT which states that the implementation of parate executie is carried out based on Article 224 HIR and Article 258 Rbg. This condition will lead to multiple interpretations. This research will discuss how is the implementation of parate executie mortgage rights based on the provisions in the mortgage rights law? And what are the legal consequences if the parate executie in article 6 of the law on mortgage rights contradicts the provisions of article 224 HIR? This study uses a normative legal approach. The results of this study indicate that parate executie mortgage rights are carried out directly and without fiat from the court, this is different from the general explanation number 9 UUHT which states that parate executie implementation is carried out based on Article 224 HIR and Article 258 Rbg, then based on the asymmetry of these rules causes a conflict of norms between Article 6 UUHT and Article 224 HIR which causes several legal consequences, one of which is the dualism of the judge's opinion in handling parate executie cases.

Published: October 2023

Objective: This study aimed to compare the diagnostic ability of contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT) and CECT combined with non-contrast computed tomography (NCT) for intraabdominal organ injury in patients with blunt abdominal injury.Material and Methods: Overall, 195 adult patients having had blunt abdominal trauma underwent CT at this institution; from 2016 and 2021. All CT images were retrospectively reviewed by two radiologists. The efficacy of detection of organ injuries and the degree of intra-abdominal injury were recorded. The radiologists scored their diagnostic confidence for each CT image dataset on a five-point scale: inter-observer agreement was also calculated.Results: All included patients underwent CT for blunt abdominal trauma. The most common cause of injury was  motorcycle accident (59.5%), with patients being  predominantly male: the mean patient age was 44 years. Hemoperitoneum was the most common CT finding, with a significantly higher detection rate on CECT combined with NCT than on CECT alone. There was no statistically significant difference in the diagnostic efficacy of the detected organ injury nor other types of organ injuries between CECT alone and CECT combined with NCT. Nevertheless, the accuracy of CECT in detecting hemoperitoneum may diminish in patients with severe fatty liver disease; especially in the perihepatic region.Conclusion: CECT alone is a potential tool for detecting abdominal injuries in patients with blunt trauma. NCT provides no additional benefits in detecting organ injury; except in cases of severe fatty liver disease. NCT is recommended as an optional protocol; particularly for patients with obesity.

Sputum specimens were collected shortly after admission and subjected to culture and real-time PCR testing.Results: Out of the 252 patients, 170 (67.4%) met the criteria for analysis and identification of pathogenic microorganisms. The most frequently isolated pathogens were Streptococcus pneumoniae (S. pneumonia) and Haemophilus influenzae (H. influenzae), comprising of 27.0% and 13.1%, respectively. Antibiotic susceptibility testing was conducted on 55 patients (32.3%). Among these cases, there were 16 instances of S. pneumoniae, 10 cases of Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), 10 cases of Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa), 14 cases of gram-negative enteric bacteria, 2 cases of H. influenzae, 1 case of Moraxella catarrhalis (M. catarrhalis), 1 case of Enterococcus faecium, and 1 case of M. pneumoniae. The antibiogram results revealed significant findings; including a 70% prevalence of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase and 90% occurrence of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus. The data also indicated high resistance rates; such as 90% resistance to erythromycin, 40-80% to ciprofloxacin, 30-80% to ceftazidime, and 30-40% to imipenem.Conclusion: Pathogens associated with LRTIs referred from primary care hospitals encompass S. pneumonia, H. influenza, and S. aureus. At our facility, piperacillin, imipenem, amikacin, vancomycin, and linezolid emerged as the most effective antibiotics for addressing these LRTIs.

Authors: D’Souza Shawn , Seshadri Vikram , Shah Harsh P , Hachmann Jan T , Graham R. Scott
Published: October 2023

BACKGROUND

Synovial cysts are a common finding in degenerative spine disease, most frequently involving the facet joints of the lumbar spine. Synovial cysts are less common in the cervical spine and rarely involve the atlantoaxial junction.

OBSERVATIONS

In this case report, the authors detail a unique presentation of a left atlantoaxial synovial cyst with large intracranial extension into the cerebellopontine angle causing progressive cranial nerve palsies resulting in tinnitus, vertigo, diminished hearing, gait imbalance, left trigeminal hypesthesia, left facial weakness, and dysarthria. The patient underwent a retromastoid craniectomy for resection of the synovial cyst, resulting in improvement and resolution of symptoms. Follow-up occurred at 6 weeks, 3 months, and 5 months postoperatively without recurrence on imaging.

LESSONS

The authors describe acute and long-term management of a unique presentation of an atlantoaxial synovial cyst including retromastoid craniectomy, intervals for follow-up for recurrence, and possible treatment options in cases of recurrence. A systematic literature review was also performed to explore all reported cases of craniocervical junction synovial cysts and subsequent surgical management.

Authors: Ibarra Guzmán
Published: October 2023

El libro ofrece una perspectiva amplia sobre el financiamiento político en Paraguay. Parte de las elecciones municipales de 2021, cuando se introdujeron regulaciones en el ámbito electoral, particularmente en los mecanismos de control y rendición de cuentas del financiamiento político. Además, se implementó por primera vez el voto preferencial y se generalizó el uso del voto electrónico. Después aborda las Elecciones Generales de 2023, profundizando las dimensiones identificadas en los comicios locales, a partir de un análisis sobre la interacción entre el financiamiento político y el sistema electoral, así como el impacto del financiamiento político, los controles, las rendiciones de cuentas y las limitaciones en el financiamiento que enfrentan las candidatas. La obra se basa metodológicamente en un enfoque cualitativo, que indaga las percepciones de los candidatos a cargos nacionales y locales, operadores políticos, dirigentes políticos y miembros de las instituciones públicas relacionadas con los mecanismos de control. La investigación se elaboró a partir de entrevistas con actores clave a lo largo de un periodo de dos años. Este abordaje permite superar las limitaciones de que una parte importante de los recursos invertidos en las campañas no se reflejan adecuadamente en las rendiciones presentadas y ofrece un acercamiento valioso del fenómeno, describiendo el «cómo» antes que el «cuánto», desde la dinámica real, tal como es percibida por los actores clave que participaron como protagonistas en las elecciones.
Chanceler Adenauer’s the Theory of Crises of the USSR
Authors: Sorokin Alexey
Published: October 2023

In the article, the author analyses the foreign policy views of the FRG Chancellor Konrad Adenauer on the preconditions for the Soviet Union to change its foreign policy course. Given Adenauer's dominant position in the system of foreign policy decision-making, it was these views that for many years formed the conceptual foundations of the German eastern policy. The Chancellor's set of beliefs includes two key blocks related to the expectations of economic crisis in the USSR and the escalation of Soviet-Chinese contradictions. Economic problems combined with generational changes and the need to raise the living standards of the population should have led the Soviet Union, in the Chancellor's opinion, to limit the arms race and make concessions to the West. The Soviet-Chinese contradictions which were supposed to have a restraining effect on Soviet foreign policy were also an important factor for Adenauer. In the long term, these problems should have forced the Soviet Union to give up its position in Europe and to make concessions on the German question. These two crucial components formed the theory of crises, which the Chancellor shared with his interlocutors on foreign policy issues. The sources of the study are primarily documents from Adenauer's archive in Röndorf (Germany).
The Impact of Anti-Colonial Movements in the Middle East upon the Soviet-British Relations in the 1920s
Authors: Sergeev Evgeny
Published: October 2023

The author analyses the impact of anti-colonial movements in the Middle East on Soviet-British relations in the 1920s. The region, which comprised Persia, Afghanistan, Northwest India, Chinese Turkestan (Sinkiang), and Tibet always played an important role in bilateral political and economic dialogue. However, the assessment of the correlation between events in Asian states and the dynamics of political developments inside both the Soviet Union and the United Kingdom has not yet been the subject of special studies, despite a significant quantity of academic publications covering the history of their relationship. Drawing on a wide range of sources, including diplomatic correspondence, analytical reviews by experts, journalists’ comments and personal impressions of contemporaries, the author examines scenarios of actions plotted by the Kremlin and Whitehall in the Middle East, while taking into account the long-term forecasts which various political groups put forward to the Soviet and British leading circles. The conclusions drawn by the author made it possible to clarify the reasons and nature of Moscow’s abstention from the idea of “world revolution”, on the one hand, and of London’s subsequent transition from mono-party to nationwide coalition Cabinets, on the other.

ABSTRACT

 

The development of the banking world in Indonesia is very dynamic and modern. Shortly after the discovery of the initial case of corona in Indonesia in 2020, the giant bank sank with the JCI dropping by around 5% and there was a stop of around 30 minutes in trading. In general, stock prices decline, so an analysis of financial statements is carried out using a value added basis in the form of Economic Value Added (EVA), Market Value Added (MVA), Financial Value Added (FVA) and Cash Value Added (CVA). The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of EVA, MVA, FVA, and CVA partially and simultaneously on stock prices in banking companies listed on the IDX (Indonesian Stock Exchange) for the period 2019 to 2021.

The sample of this research used purposive sampling technique. Based on the standards that have been obtained, there were around 18 banking companies during the three years of research so that 54 samples were obtained. Perform data analysis methods, panel data regression analysis and analysis of the coefficient of determination (R2) which previously carried out the classical assumption test using Eviews 9.

Partially, this study shows that stock prices are not affected by EVA, FVA, and CVA, but are influenced by MVA. While stock prices are stated to be influenced simultaneously by EVA, MVA, FVA, and CVA. The results of the analysis of the coefficient of determination (R2) show that the explanation of the dependent variable on the contribution of all independent variables is around 66.58%, of which the remaining 33.42% is obtained from other variables.
