B R Ambedkar’s Multiple Consciousness and the Framing of the Indian Constitution
Authors: Gadkar-Wilcox Sujata
Published: June 2023

This article will analyze the way in which B R Ambedkar's lived experience and jurisprudential commitments framed the discursive structure of the Indian Constitution and reformulated prevailing conceptions of liberal constitutionalism to reflect the specific and historically contingent context in which it was formed. Whereas prevailing notions of political rights in Western liberalism were conceived as abstract protections of individuals against the state, Ambedkar attempted to reframe the idea of rights as including correlative duties and accounting for material conditions of inequality and systemic discrimination. Heblurred the distinction between the higher-order law and everyday politics, and conceptualized rights as horizontal in addition to vertical in character. Finally, he included a temporal reorientation of the liberal constitutional paradigm by incorporating permissive constitutional structures. This article analyzes his approach to constitutional jurisprudence within the framework of Mari Matsuda’s notion of multiple consciousness.
The Role of the Road in Settling a Mountainous Region
Authors: Miňo Martin
Published: June 2023

Although fertile soil is rare in central Slovakia, the region is rich in raw minerals, a resource exploited since the Palaeolithic. Maintaining trade through a reliable network of safe routes across the mountainous landscape was of vital importance, and the remains of roads that connected this mining area to the rest of the world can still be found. Furthermore, the south–north route connecting these resources with the Carpathian Basin in the south and the Vistula River Basin in the north may have played an important role as a possible bypass to the well-known Amber Road. By combining walkthrough surveys and high-resolution LiDAR data, the paths of single roads can be reconstructed and analysed in relation to the main routes. Furthermore, by applying the geographic information system-based spatial context of settlement structures, analyses can be performed on whether routes passing through certain areas caused the establishment of settlements or whether the routes were built to connect the established sites with the rest of the road network. Finally, defining ancient route planning strategies can help answer the question of how the main routes affect settlement patterns.

Authors: Liu Bo , Li Dan , Fu Qiang , He Lu , Mai Tianrui
Published: June 2023

The pore-structure characteristics of hybrid basalt–polypropylene fibre-reinforced concrete were investigated by using mercury intrusion porosimetry. The applicability of various fractal models in characterising the HBPRC pore structure was compared. The results show that the types and content of fibres show different influences on the cumulative pore volume and fractal characteristics of hybrid basalt-polypropylene fibre-reinforced concrete. Compared with pore-volume and solid mass, the fractal characteristics of pore surface area of hybrid basalt-polypropylene fibre-reinforced concrete is more significant. Furthermore, the pore-surface fractal model that established based on the energy conservation relationship during mercury intrusion is more accurate and effective for the characterization of fractal dimension of hybrid basalt-polypropylene fibre-reinforced concrete. The research results can provide important theoretical guidance for the study of pore structure and fractal characteristics of fibre-reinforced concrete.

Meechan, D, McMahon, JJ, Suchomel, TJ, and Comfort, P. The effect of rest redistribution on kinetic and kinematic variables during the countermovement shrug. J Strength Cond Res 37(7): 1358–1366, 2023—This study compared the effects of rest redistribution (RR) on kinetic and kinematic variables during the countermovement shrug (CMS). Twenty-one male subjects (age 27.2 ± 3.3. years, height 1.78 ± 0.07 m, body mass 77.2 ± 10.6 kg, relative 1 repetition maximum (1RM) power clean [PC] 1.22 ± 0.16 kg·kg−1) performed the CMS using 140% of 1RM PC with 3 traditional sets of 6 repetitions (TS), 9 sets of 2 repetitions with RR [45 s rest after 2 repetitions] (RR45), and 6 sets of 3 repetitions with RR [72 s rest after 3 repetitions] (RR72). There were no significant or meaningful differences (p > 0.05, g = 0.00–0.15) between set configurations for any variables for the average of the 18 repetitions. There were no significant (p > 0.05) or meaningful (g = 0.00–0.14) differences for configuration and configuration × set for peak (PF) and mean force (MF), peak velocity (PV), impulse, phase duration, peak velocity decline, peak velocity maintenance, and rating of perceived exertion. There was significantly greater (p = 0.034) albeit small (g = 0.15) difference for mean velocity (MV) during TS compared with RR72. There were no significant or meaningful differences (p > 0.05, g = 0.00–0.09) between sets for PF, MF, PV, MV, impulse, and duration across TS, RR45, and RR72. Rest redistribution protocols did not result in greater kinetics or kinematics during the CMS compared with TS, when total rest time was equated. Thus, shorter more frequent rest periods during the CMS may not be required to maintain force-time characteristics.

Krzysztofik, M, Wilk, M, Pisz, A, Kolinger, D, Bichowska, M, Zajac, A, and Stastny, P. Acute effects of high-load versus plyometric conditioning activity on jumping performance and the muscle-tendon mechanical properties. J Strength Cond Res 37(7): 1397–1403, 2023—The effectiveness of high-load and plyometric exercises as conditioning activity (CA) is not well described in the level of performance enhancement and muscle-tendon properties. Therefore, this study aimed to compare the effectiveness of high-loaded back squats and body mass tuck jumps among amateur soccer players on the height of countermovement jump performed without (CMJ) and with arm swing (CMJa) and to verify the usefulness of the myotonometry in assessing the level of CA-induced fatigue. Therefore, 16 male amateur soccer players (resistance training experience: 2 ± 1 year, relative 1 repetition maximum back squat strength: 1.41 ± 0.12 kg·body mass−1) performed 3 experimental sessions to compare the acute effects of 3 sets of 3 repetitions at 85% one repetition maximum of half back squats (HL), 3 sets of 5 repetitions of tuck jump exercises (PLY), and no CA (CTRL) on CMJ and CMJa height. Moreover, the gastrocnemius medialis and Achilles tendon tone and stiffness were examined. Measurements were performed 5 minutes before CA and in the third, sixth, and ninth minutes after CA. The CMJ height significantly increased from pre-CA to post-CA in the CTRL (p = 0.005; effect size [ES] = 0.36; Δ = +3.4%) and PLY (p = 0.001; ES = 0.83; Δ = +8.8%) conditions. Moreover, post-CA jump height was significantly higher in PLY than in the HL condition (p = 0.024; ES = 0.6; Δ = +5.9%). No significant differences were found for CMJa height, tone, and stiffness of gastrocnemius medialis and Achilles tendon. The low-volume plyometric CA (i.e., 3 sets of 5 repetitions) is recommended instead of high-loaded CA (≥85% one repetition maximum) for amateur athletes. In addition, it has been established that the performance improvement was independent of changes in the mechanical properties of the gastrocnemius medialis and Achilles tendon. Furthermore, it seems that the complexity of the post-CA task may affect the magnitude of the postactivation performance enhancement.

Published: June 2023

Background: The study was aimed at investigating the mathematical relationship between the aortic valve and aortic root through CTA imaging-based reconstruction.

Methods: We selected 121 healthy participants and analyzed the measurements of aortic root dimensions, including the sinotubular junction (SJT), ventriculo-arterial junction (VAJ), maximum sinus diameter (SD), sinus height (SH), effective height (eH) and coaptation height (cH). We also reconstructed 3-D aortic valve cusps using CTA imaging to calculate the aortic cusp surface areas. Data were collected to analyze the ratios and the correlation between aortic valve and aortic root dimensions.

Results: Among healthy participants, the STJ was approximately 10% larger than the VAJ, and the SD was 1.375 times larger than the VAJ. The average eH and cH were 8.94 mm and 3.62 mm, respectively. The aortic cusp surface areas were larger in men than women. Regardless of sex, the non-coronary cusp was found to be largest, and was followed by the right coronary cusp and the left coronary cusp. Although the aortic root dimensions were also significantly larger in in men than women, the STJ to VAJ, SD to VAJ, and SH to VAJ ratios did not significantly differ by sex. The mathematical relationship between the aortic cusp surface areas and VAJ orifice area was calculated as aortic cusp surface areas

Conclusions: The aortic root has specific geometric ratios. The mathematical relationship between the aortic valve and aortic root might be used to guide aortic valve repair.
Kraft pulping of Juniperus communis results in paper with unusually high elasticity
Authors: Hänninen Tuomas , Kontturi Eero , Leppänen Kirsi , Serimaa Ritva , Vuorinen Tapani
Published: June 2023

Juniper (Juniperus communis) is a slowly growing softwood species that has unusually high elasticity. To demonstrate the utilization of the material properties of juniper, conventional kraft pulping was used to prepare juniper pulp, whose handsheet and fiber properties were subsequently analyzed. A large number of uncooked fiber bundles remained after pulping, the screened yield was low, and kappa number high. Also the viscosity value of juniper pulp was lower than that of common industrial softwood pulps, due to the harsh pulping conditions required. Juniper fibres had thicker cell walls, smaller diameters, and shorter lengths than those of the more conventional softwood species, while the microfibril angle, which was measured by X-ray diffraction, was significantly higher (22-37°). Moreover, the strength properties of juniper pulp handsheets were lower than those of common softwood pulps. The intriguing elastic properties of juniper wood, however, were apparent in the handsheet properties. Tensile stiffness was determined to be merely half of the value typical for softwood pulps, whereas the breaking stretch was more than twice higher. Although a large-scale industrial use of juniper is not possible, one can speculate that it may be feasible to mimic its properties via transgenic modification to faster growing species.

This study aims to provide basic data for developing a hand washing education program to prevent infection by identifying the factors that affect hand washing practice for high school students who need to establish healthy lifestyles in the  COVID-19 outbreak situation. Data collection was conducted from December 10 to 31, 2020 for 149 in high school students. The collected data were analyzed using the SPSS 20.0 program.  As a result, internal control(p<.05) and hand washing attitude(p<.05) had a significant effect on dependent variables. the result of this study indicates that the internal control means a tendency to attribute the cause or effect of an action to internal factors, such as ability, attitude, and effort of one’s own, educational plans that can increase the hand washing practice rate by cultivating a positive hand washing attitude and improving internal control through education on the importance of personal quarantine should be prepared.
The kinematics of Keplerian velocity imposes another interpretation of Newtonian gravitation
Authors: Le Cornec Herve
Published: June 2023

The velocity of any Keplerian orbiter is well known, but its time derivative is a centripetal acceleration, not an attractive one. Furthermore the rectilinear accelerated trajectory of Newton’s attraction is not part of the Keplerian conics. Newton’s postulate of attraction is therefore not consistent with Kepler’s laws. We demonstrate this geometric reality by the factual kinematics and expose its consequences from the bodies falling, to the rotation speed of the galaxies, passing through Einstein’s equivalence principle or the stability of the solar system.

A case report of pulmonary edema associated with left cardiac failure secondary with mitral insufficiency in dog
Authors: Ruggero Errante Paolo
Published: June 2023

The cardiac left insufficiency with mitral dysfunction is a relevant cardiac pathology with importante repercussion in the lung, leads to pulmonary edema. Pulmonary edema corresponds to the accumulation of fluid in the lung parenchyma and alveoli, and can be classified as cardiogenic or non-cardiogenic. Clinical signs and symptoms include presence of dyspnea, cough, tachypnea, and alteration of normal sounds during lung auscultation. In this case report, a 16 year old female Lhasa Apso dog breed was presented to the clinical facility with signals of apathy, hyporexia, cough and dyspnea. After emergency treatment with oxygen therapy to stabilize the respiratory condition, imaging tests (radiography, Doppler echocardiography) were performed, confirming the suspicion of cardiogenic pulmonary edema due to left heart disease. The treatment of cardiac dysfunction was recommended through the use of pimobendan, which has a positive inotropic effect on the heart, and benzepril, an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor. These drugs are important to control pulmonary vascular pressure, reducing the risk of developing pulmonary edema. Even though it is a veterinary clinical emergency, cardiogenic pulmonary edema when treated immediately and correctly tends to present a favorable prognosis in affected dogs.
Complementarity of neuroeconomic model and the Big5 taxonomy
Authors: Larsen Torben
Published: June 2023

The psychological Big5 Taxonomy is an alternative to the Neoclassical paradigm of Bounded Rationality. The neuroeconomic model of decision-making (NeM) roots behavioral science in the brain function. The relations between Big5 and NeM is described in a cross-correlation study ordering the Big5 by risk-willingness where extreme positive respective negative correlation is with Extrovertedness and Neuroticism. Conscientiousness is in the middle of the order. Agreeableness is characterized by a moderate risk-aversion in between Conscientiousness and Neuroticism. Open-mindedness as the fifth profile is a cultural product of upbringing, formal education and life experience integrating the qualities of Extravertedness and Conscientiousness. The Discussion focuses on two training applications. Firstly, how ordering of the Big5 can simplify sensitivity training. Secondly, secular guidance of meditative in-depth-relaxation as reinforcement of the Working Memory
Wittgenstein emotions, state of consciousness language games
Authors: Fragua Cabrera Roger Bladimir
Published: June 2023

The aim of this paper is to consider some grammatical criteria that Wittgenstein considers for understanding the psychological concepts of emotion and state of consciousness. The analysis shows that Wittgenstein uses criteria and patterns to distinguish emotions and states of consciousness in language games and their relation to life forms. Psychological concepts have a grammar depending on the actions and life of human beings and it is necessary to follow to avoid misunderstandings. By making a reflection on psychological concepts it is shown that the expression of emotions is linked to external criteria that Wittgenstein enunciates in a way that helps to clarify difficulties and with them he shows that what is in the mind is relevant if it can to talk about emotions if it can be put into a language. Throughout the text there is an emphasis on the concept of dispositional emotion and detailed implications that it has on the language games where emotions are expressed. It is also shown succinctly that, in the language games related to emotions, there are criteria related to the uses and actions that prevent emotional language from being affected by skepticism
Ultrasound-Assisted Lumbar Puncture in Children: A Meta-Analysis
Authors: Kuitunen Ilari , Renko Marjo
Published: June 2023

CONTEXT

Success rates of lumbar puncture are rather low in children. Ultrasound guidance has been suggested to increase success rate.

OBJECTIVE

To systematically compare lumbar puncture success with and without ultrasound in children.

DATA SOURCES

PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science databases were searched in January 2023.

STUDY SELECTION

Randomized controlled trials including children (aged <18 years) and comparing ultrasound-assisted lumbar puncture to palpation-marked lumbar puncture were included.

DATA EXTRACTION

One author extracted, and the other author validated data.

RESULTS

Seven studies were included. First puncture success rate was 71.7% (190 of 265) in the ultrasound group and 58.9% (155 of 263) in the palpation group (risk ratio [RR], 1.22; (confidence interval [CI], 1.00–1.50; 5 studies). First puncture success rate with ultrasound was higher in infants (RR, 1.41; CI, 1.10–1.80; 3 studies), but not in older children (RR, 1.07; CI, 0.98–1.17; 2 studies). Overall success rate was 89.3% (276 of 309) in the ultrasound group and 80.3% (248 of 309) in the palpation group (RR, 1.11; CI 0.95–1.30; 7 studies).

LIMITATIONS

Evidence quality was rated low because of risk of bias (3 studies high risk of bias) and imprecision.

CONCLUSIONS

Ultrasound use may improve first puncture success rate in infants but not in older children. We did not find evidence of difference in overall success rate. Better quality evidence is needed before implementing ultrasound guidance in practice.
Józef Mehoffer’s competition design for the polychrome decoration of the Franciscan Church in Kraków, 1894. An attempt to reconstruct the artist’s decorative concept
Authors:   National Museum in Kraków Józef Mehoffer’s House, Studziżba-Kubalska Beata
Published: June 2023

Józef Mehoffer’s competition design for the painting decoration of the Franciscan Church in Kraków in 1894 has not yet been found. This article is an attempt to reconstruct the artist’s decorative concept on the basis of the surviving sketches for the project, as well as notes drawn and written in a sketchbook from 1893–1894. The artist, who was in Paris in February 1894, heard about the competition from Tadeusz Stryjeński. The project he sent to the jury in May 1894 did not meet the formal requirements; it was too sketch-like and unpolished and was not accepted. Mehoffer began work on it with detailed studies of sources and iconography, documented by his drawings and notes in his sketchbook. These bear witness to his technical dependence on Jan Matejko and the painters of the historicist school. The artist’s meticulous approach in this respect was perhaps one of the reasons why the project was not completed within the three-month deadline set by the jury. A stylistic analysis of Mehoffer’s sketches for the decoration of the Franciscan Church leads to the conclusion that they were created under the influence of Matejko’s polychrome decoration of the presbytery of St Mary’s Church in Kraków, as well as other sacral decoration of the second half of the 19 th century, associated with the current of academic historicism – an important model for the Polish artist was undoubtedly the polychrome decoration of the chapels of Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris – by Eugène Viollet-le-Duc and Maurice Ouradou. Mehoffer owed much of his inspiration for the iconography of his design, in which the dominant motifs were depictions of 13 th -century Polish saints, nuns, female rulers and Piast princes, to Matejko’s work, "The Defeat of Legnica – The Rebirth of Poland. 1241", 1888. The overall vision for the decoration of the Franciscan Church, which he did not include in the competition design but described in his notes, went beyond historicism. It demonstrates the artist’s sensitivity to the new trends in art at the turn of the 20 th century, and the fact that he was already aware of the profound changes taking place in the style of monumental painting and in the perception of its function.
The Way of the Cross by Mikuláš Medek
Authors:   diocesan art conservator in Katowice, Makówka Leszek
Published: June 2023

In Czechoslovakia, hardly any new churches were built during the communist regime. The exceptions include the modernist church of St. Joseph in Senetářov in Moravia, for which the modern cycle of "The Way of the Cross" was created in 1970. Its author is Mikuláš Medek (1926–1974), an outstanding Czech painter inspired by surrealism and the Informel formula. The composition in Senetářov belongs to the mature period of the artist’s work, in which he used unique metaphors. The author of the paper outlines the historical context of the founding of the church and interprets Medek’s "The Way of the Cross" against the background of post-war European art and contemporary solutions of the Passion cycle.

Published: June 2023

This study aims to investigate how the uncertainty created by the Covid-19 pandemic affects the levels of depression, stress and anxiety and the health-related cognition of the individuals participating in the study. Using an easily accessible sampling model, considering the pandemic process, scales were prepared and sent to the participants via Google Forms. With the web-based data collection technique, a total of 556 volunteers, 415 women 74.6% and 141 men 25.4%, were reached. The average age of the participants between the ages of 18 and 80 was found to be 33.22. Depression Anxiety Stress Scale, Health Cognitions Survey and Intolerance to Uncertainty Scale were used. The research emphasized that health cognition and intolerance to uncertainty are predictors of stress. Among the findings, it was emphasized that "negative self-evaluations about uncertainty" and "uncertainty preventing action" caused stress by intolerance to uncertainty. In the study, it was emphasized that there is a significant relationship between depression and anxiety, negative self-evaluations about uncertainty and uncertainty preventing taking action. In the study, intolerance to uncertainty was emphasized as a predictor of anxiety during the Covid-19 pandemic process.
Life Satisfaction Scale: A Meta-Analytic Reliability Generalization Study in Turkey Sample
Authors: ESER Mehmet Taha , DOĞAN Nuri
Published: June 2023

Life satisfaction is the result of comparing one's expectations with the actual situation. The life satisfaction scale developed by Ed Diener and his colleagues is one of the most preferred life satisfaction scales in research. In this study, it was aimed to obtain an approximate estimate of the generalized reliability of the measurement tool through meta-analytic reliability generalization and to determine which sample characteristics of the studies may affect the variability of reliability coefficients. For 24 studies, the generalized reliability coefficient was .84 [.81-.87]. No visual or statistical evidence of publication bias was encountered in the meta-analysis. As a result of the moderator analysis, it was concluded that the year of publication, sample type and the percentage of women in the sample can be shown as sources related to the change in the reliability value. It is thought that it would be useful to report reliability coefficients in accordance with the research conditions and assumptions in future studies.
Türkiye’de belirlenen istasyon çiftlerinde yağış-yükselti ilişkisi
Authors: KIRCI Büşra , YILMAZ Erkan
Published: June 2023

Yükselti arttıkça yağışın da artacağı yönündeki genel kabul, uluslararası literatürde geçerliliğini korurken,
ulusal yayınlarda çoğunlukla Schreiber Formülü olarak bilinen eşitlikten yararlanılmaktadır.
Formülün, yağışın belirli bir yükselti mesafesinde belirli bir miktarda artacağını önerdiği model,
statik bir yaklaşım olup, yağışın yükseltiyle artmadığı durumları tespit etmede kullanışsızdır. Yağış,
doğal çevrenin başlıca bileşenlerinden biri olarak, beşeri hayatı doğrudan veya dolaylı yollardan
etkilemektedir. Bu bakımdan yağışın gerçeğe yakın modellenmesi, ekonomik faaliyetlerin sürdürülebilirliği
ve planlaması açısından önemlidir. Yağışın yükseltiyle nasıl değiştiğini incelemeye alan
bu çalışmanın temel yöntemi, belirlenen istasyon çiftlerinde yağış gradyanlarının hesaplanmasına
dayanmaktadır. Türkiye’de yeterli veri uzunluğuna sahip 542 adet istasyon çiftinde okunan sonuçlar,
yağışın yükseltiyle azaldığı durumların da dikkat çekici ölçülerde olduğunu ortaya koymaktadır.
Çiftlerden 130 tanesinde negatif gradyan, pozitif gradyandan daha çok sayıdadır. 2005-2021
dönemine ait aylık verilerle elde edilen sonuçların işaret ettiği bir diğer husus, pozitif ve negatif
gradyanların görülme yüzdeleri arasındaki belirgin mevsimselliktir. Buna göre negatif gradyanının
görülme yüzdesi soğuk periyotta fazlalaşmakta, yazın ise azalmaktadır. İki mevsim arasındaki hava
sıcaklıklarıyla birlikte yoğuşma seviyesindeki belirgin farklılıklar gradyanın pozitif ya da negatif olmasını
belirlemektedir. Yoğuşma seviyesinin bir diğer deyişle bulut tabanı yüksekliğinin alçaldığı kış
aylarında negatif gradyan tespit etmek daha olasıdır.

Bu araştırmanın amacı, ceza infaz kurumlarında (CİK) yürütülen eğitim ve iyileştirme faaliyetlerini yasal dayanaklarıyla birlikte belirlemek ve bu konuda öneriler geliştirmektir. Konuyla ilişkin daha önce hiçbir çalışmanın yapılmadığı görülmüştür. Bu durum araştırmamızı önemli kılmaktadır. Araştırmada, nitel araştırma yöntemi tercih edilmiş; veriler, dokümantasyon tekniğiyle toplanmış ve betimsel analizle çözümlenmiştir. Araştırmada birincil kaynak olarak Adalet Bakanlığı (AB) eğitim ve iyileştirme mevzuatı esas alınmıştır. Ancak İkincil kaynaklardan da yararlanılmıştır. Türkiye’de 01.03.2023 tarihi itibariyle 399 CİK’in bulunduğu ve buralarda 349.893 hükümlü ve tutuklunun (H-T) barındırıldığı belirlenmiştir. Bu kitleye 976 öğretmen tarafından çeşitli eğitim ve iyileştirme programlarının uygulandığı tespit edilmiştir. Bu programların “temel eğitim, ortaöğretim, yükseköğretim, lisansüstü eğitim, meslekî eğitim, din eğitimi, beden eğitimi, kütüphane ve psiko-sosyal hizmet” gibi programlardan oluştuğu görülmüştür. H-T’lerin eğitilmesi ve sosyalleştirilmesi için eğitim ve iyileştirme mevzuatının genel olarak yeterli olduğu, ancak bünyesinde önemli sorunlar barındırdığı belirlenmiştir. Eğitim denetimi mevzuatı ile yürütülen eğitim ve iyileştirme faaliyetlerinin ise yetersiz olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Buna göre eğitim ve iyileştirme mevzuatı iyileştirilmeli, eğitim denetimi mevzuatı ile eğitim faaliyetleri ise yeterli hale getirilmelidir.

Authors: Popov Valery A. , Elantsev Valentin V.
Published: June 2023

BACKGROUND: An essential condition of existence for enterprises of all forms in the face of rapid external and internal transformations is digital reformation of their business processes. The Saint Petersburg subway is no exception, which has an aging fleet of escalators, for which the introduction of digital technologies, accompanied by the optimization of the control system for the main technological processes, can provide a balance between ever-increasing costs and limited, not always rhythmically flowing supplies.
AIMS: To establish one of the possible options for the software architecture for planning and monitoring maintenance and repair of the subway escalator fleet. At the same time, the object of research in the study is the subway escalator fleet, and the subject is automation of the maintenance and repair system.
METHODS: Analysis of modern architectural solutions used in the design of software (materials), and the synthesis on their basis of a microservice architecture implemented by tools taken from the field of machine learning and artificial intelligence are the methods used in this study.
RESULTS: A significant result of the work for practical application is the proposed scheme of the two-circuit IT landscape of the information system and the block diagram of the software implementing the internal processing circuit. The proposed version of the software is intended for regular use as a tool for monitoring and controlling the register of management objects (works) that create and do not create value for the company (providing/not providing transportation of passenger traffic). At the same time, the implementation of the proposed circuit design solution can be carried out using ready-to-use and free software components, significantly reducing the design time and the cost of its creation and operation.
CONCLUSIONS: The results obtained may be one of the options for implementing the concept of digital transformation of the maintenance and repair system of the subway escalator fleet.

METHODS: The calculation of the flow part of a pre-injected impeller stage is described and the CFD model of its hydrodynamic simulation is described. In the CFD model, Navier-Stokes equations averaged over the Reynolds number and the working fluid continuity equation were used. A two-phase fluid model was used to simulate cavitation.
RESULTS: The final results of the calculations carried out in the above models are presented. Calculations were obtained for a pump with impeller with and without an upstream stage (screw). For the impeller without a screw, the cavitation margin of 4.7 m was obtained, which is critical for such a pump. For a pump with an impeller with an upstream auger the cavitation margin is 1,7 m, that is much better and allows to show efficiency of such solution.
CONCLUSIONS: The requirement of hydrodynamic modeling for selection of optimal flow part of centrifugal pump to improve its cavitation characteristics is formulated.

Published: June 2023

Marriage, in the nineteenth century, was seen as the destiny of women who were raised to be mothers and helpers but not providers. But women, little by little, began struggling to be recognized, to become visible, to have equal rights. The short story How Celia changed her mind, written in 1891, shows through Celia Barnes, the protagonist, how distressing it is when a woman does not follow the pattern of subordinate women that society requires thus, it deals with up-to-date facts very much present in many women´s lives nowadays, even having been written more than a hundred years ago.

Published: June 2023

Background: As the most convenient and commonly used for clinical diagnosis, cancer biomarker has been widely used in the auxiliary diagnosis of tumors, the observation of curative effect, the judgment of prognosis, and the monitoring of the disease.
Methods: Pan-cancer analysis was used to validate the value of Dehydrogenase/Reductase 2 (DHRS2) as a tumor prognostic marker in various tumors. The relationship of DHRS2 to TMB and MSI was used to explain the effect of DHRS2 on genomic instability. Online cbioportal was used to analyze DHRS2 mutations in tumors. Finally, 33 clinical tumor samples were collected in 2021 who were enrolled into the Affiliated Lianyungang Oriental Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University, to verify the expression and diagnostic prognostic value of DHRS2.
Results: The expression of DHRS2 was up-regulated in a variety of tumors and had adverse effects on the overall survival, disease-free interval, and progression-free interval of tumor patients. DHRS2 was associated with tumor genome instability, confirming that DHRS2 was correlated with tumorigenesis. In addition, DHRS2 had different mutation sites in various tumors. DHRS2 was up-regulated and was a poor prognosis biomarker in clinical tumor samples.
Conclusion: DHRS2 was aberrantly expressed in tumors and has diagnostic prognostic value.
An Analysis of Menstrual Symptoms, Menstrual Attitudes, Physical Stress and Psychological Stress According to the Menstrual Cycle Phase
Authors: Weon Hee Wook , Son Hae Kyoung
Published: June 2023

Background: Women undergo an array of menstrual symptoms, depending on the menstrual cycle period. This study aimed to gain a more objective understanding of the impact of menstruation by examining differences in menstrual symptoms, menstrual attitude, physical stress, and psychological stress across the menstrual cycle.
Methods: This study was conducted from Apr to Jun 2021 in the Gyeonggi Province of Korea. Women aged ≥20 yr were divided into premenstrual (n=17), menstrual (n=8), and postmenstrual periods (n=23). Menstrual symptoms and menstrual attitudes were assessed using questionnaires. Quantitative electroencephalography was used to assess the physical stress indices (left and right), and the psychological stress indices (left and right), with brainwave parameters quantified by frequency series power spectrum analysis. Data were compared using the non-parametric tests.
Results: More menstrual symptoms were experienced in the menstrual period than in the premenstrual period (Z=2.16, P=.031). Menstrual attitudes did not significantly differ among menstrual periods (Z=1.20, P=.231). Physical stress indices were high (≥10 μV) throughout the menstrual cycle and there were significant differences among the three periods (left: χ2=4.00, P=.035, right: χ2=5.78, P=.046). Psychological stress indices were >1 μV during the premenstrual and menstrual periods.
Conclusion: Women experience more severe and diverse menstrual symptoms in the menstrual period than in other periods. Objective investigations are needed to inform an effective approach for addressing negative menstruation-related experiences.
Effects of Messaging Framing on the Self-Management Activities and Self-Efficacies of Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
Authors: Bao Huilan
Published: June 2023

Background: Message framing is a low-cost and effective intervention method to improve diabetics’ health behaviors. The study aimed to investigate the impacts of positive and negative message framing interventions on the self-management activities and self-efficacy of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
Method: Overall, 102 T2DM patients from Jinhua People’s Hospital of China were recruited and divided into three groups: positive and negative message framing intervention groups and a control group. A 12-week experiment was implemented on the first two groups. Then, the differences of the patients’ self-management activities and self-efficacies were analyzed between the experimental and control groups. Finally, the mediating effect of self-efficacy between two types of message framing interventions and patients’ self-management activities was investigated.
Results: Both positive and negative message framing interventions could significantly improve the T2DM patients’ self-management activities in diet, blood glucose testing, foot care, and medication taking (P<0.05), meanwhile significantly improving their self-efficacies along the nutrition, physical exercise and weight, medical treatment, blood sugar, and feet check (P<0.05). Results of the difference analysis for both within-group and inter-group showed that, compared with the positive messaging framing intervention, the negative one had more significant effects on enhancing the patients’ self-management activities and self-efficacy. Self-efficacy had only a mediating effect between negative messaging framing intervention and self-management activities (β = 0.94, 95% CI: 0.0934 – 0.456).
Conclusion: Negative messaging framing intervention could better enrich T2DM patients’ diabetes knowledge through offering threatening information, thereby enhancing their self-efficacies, and ultimately improve their self-management activities.
