Ways of Development of Venereology in Russia (X–XVIII Centuries)
Authors: Заславский Д.В. , Белова Л.В.
Published: January 2024

Цель исследования. Проанализировать малоизученные вопросы путей развития венерологии в России (Х–XVIII вв.). Материалы и методы. Изучение лечебников, травников, сборников, трактатов и трудов ценителей русской народной медицины, научных трудов и докладов, изданий периодической печати, воспоминаний современников. Представлены редкие фотографии. Результаты. Восполнен пробел в историко-медицинской литературе. Дано целостное представление о развитии отечественной венерологии в России (Х–XVIII вв.). Рассмотрены обширные представления о венерических болезнях в русской народной медицине, полемика ученых, их точки зрения, мнения, предложения, доводы. Становление венерологии в России связано с открытием на базе Калинкинской больницы Императорского Калинкинского медико-хирургического училища. Было положено начало созданию кадров среднего медицинского персонала по венерологии и смежным специальностям. Организованная борьба с сифилисом в тот период не проводилась, за исключением первых местных попыток в самом конце XVIII в. Учет больных был несовершенным, а попытки борьбы с проституцией оказались неудачными. Заключение. Зарождение и становление венерологии в России происходило своими, самобытными путями.

Purpose of the study. To analyze little-studied issues of the development of venereology in Russia (X–XVIII centuries). Materials and methods. Study of medical books, herbalists, collections, treatises and works of connoisseurs of Russian folk medicine, scientific works and reports, periodicals, memoirs of contemporaries. Rare photographs are presented. Results. The gap in historical and medical literature has been filled. A holistic view of the development of domestic venereology in Russia (X–XVIII centuries) is given. The extensive ideas about venereal diseases in Russian folk medicine, the polemics of scientists, their points of view, opinions, proposals, arguments are considered. The formation of venereology in Russia is associated with the opening of the Imperial Kalinkin Medical-Surgical School on the basis of the Kalinkinsky hospital. A start was made on the creation of paramedical personnel in venereology and related specialties. There was no organized fight against syphilis during that period, with the exception of the first local attempts at the very end of the 18th century. The registration of patients was imperfect, and attempts to combat prostitution were unsuccessful. Conclusion. The origin and development of venereology in Russia took place in its own, original ways.
Re-evaluation of the chronological date of Raised-design pottery in Neolithic Korea
Authors:   The Korean Neolithic Society, OBATA Hiroki
Published: January 2024

Raised-design pottery is a type of pottery representative of the early Neolithic period in Korea. Particularly in the southern part of the Korean peninsula, pottery was divided into four types and created a long tradition of pottery lasting about 1,000 years. It is a well-known fact among Neolithic researchers in both countries, Korea and Japan that this type of pottery has been found in many coastal sites in the northwestern Kyushu region in Japan. In particular, the Koshitaka Site on Tsushima Island, Nagasaki Prefecture, is famous for the discovery of many pottery of the first half of the comb-patterned pottery, which is common to the southern part of the Korean peninsula, including Raised-design pottery. We, the Department of Archaeology, Kumamoto University, have conducted excavations at this site four times since 2015, jointly with the Tsushima Board of Education, and have obtained various information about the characteristics of the site that were not well understood until now. This paper examines the revision of the age of Raised-design pottery, one of the results of excavations that could not be fully explained due to the limited number of characters in the previous report, by adding new materials. In analyzing the dating values, we studied the types of charcoal, seeds, and charcoal attached to pottery, examined the presence or absence of a marine reservoir effect by the C value, and performed calibration using IntCal 20 and Marine 20. As a result, the age values indicated by the plant samples showed the most reliable age values, and in the case of Korean Neolithic sites located on the coast, it was reconfirmed that the influence of the marine reservoir effect is large. Although Raised-design pottery in southern Korea and Tsushima follow almost the same pattern changes, we concluded that the existing chronology of Raised-design pottery in Korea is about 400 years older than the new chronology based on reliable age values and that a revision is necessary.
Review of the Use of Space in Dwellings and Settlements from Geoarchaeological Perspectives: Cases of the Neolithic Middle and Near East
Authors:   The Korean Neolithic Society, Lee Heejin
Published: January 2024

Geoarchaeological investigation is useful for reconstructing domestic activities within an architectural structure based on analysis of physical and chemical components in the soil. Addressing research cases of the use of space in the Middle and Near East during the Neolithic times that successfully demonstrated the utility of geoarchaeological methodologies and introducing relevant and representative geoarchaeological works, this paper aims to provide the background research for promoting prospective studies on the use of space in Korean Neolithic culture. This paper summarizes the study cases following the categories of settlement morphology model (individual structures, intrasettlement and surrounding landscapes) along with the temporal changes of living floor construction. This article surveys previous studies on (i) functionally differentiated spaces (e.g., food processing and cooking, resting and sleeping, livestock rearing, ritual practices) within the living floors of structures, (ii) roads and middens that were spaces for various activities in the vicinity of settlements and (iii) landscapes around settlements in terms of agricultural and pastoral fields. Whereas these studies provide empirical evidence of habitation and use of space, they also extend to theoretical approaches that address how the materiality of a group's prehistoric culture has shaped its character. Reviewing previous studies in the Middle and Near Eastern regions, this paper intends to offer analytical frameworks and references to guide geoarchaeological research applications to the future Korean Neolithic studies primarily through presenting the two notable pilot studies from Gosanri and Hajungdong that have exhibited the methodological potentials.

The present study during seasons in 2022 to study the extracts effect of moringa (Moringa oleifera) leaves at (2-, 4-, and 6-ml l-1), garlic (Allium sativum) cloves (5, 10, and 15 ml l-1), and turmeric (Curcuma longa) at (5, 10, and 15 ml l-1) sprayers on Salakhani pomegranate. Thirty uniform trees were selected, and each tree was considered as an experimental unit using a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replicates. The results showed that spraying pomegranate trees with moringa leaves extract with 2 and 6 ml l-1 and all doses of turmeric extract significantly increased surface area and dry weight of leaf, except 6-ml L-1 and 15 ml l-1 of morenga leaves extract of turmeric extract increased leaf dry weight non-significantly compared to the control. As well as all garlic clove extract levels increased the surface area and dry weight of the leaf significantly compared to the control. Moreover, all plant extract treatments were effective in increasing the number of fruits and yield per tree compared to the control. Additionally, most plant extract treatments improved all chemical parameters including total soluble solids, titratable acidity, pH, total sugar, and anthocyanin content as compared to the control.

Authors: Snider Marika , Monna Sameh , Gilbrecht Alia
Published: January 2024

To confront global environmental challenges, architectural design can play an important role to achieve sustainability. This paper addresses the Online collaborative approach to support the integration of environmental sustainability. It will assess the efficacy of integrating collaborative online international learning exchange (COIL) and cross-cultural dialogue pedagogy into a sustainable architecture studio course to develop students’ architectural and intercultural competencies. In this study 16 groups, each group consists of 3-4 students, from An Najah university in Palestine and Memphis university in USA were involved in shared learning classroom model. Different methods were used to assess the students’ outcomes, such as reflection reports written by the students, the use of new technologies for design and communication, and the outcomes from the architectural design. The results show changes in the students' understanding of different cultures, they improved their communication skills, and their ability to design in different contexts. The findings also underline the importance of integrating COIL into architectural design education to create professionals who are able to design a resilient and sustainable built environment. The paper introduces intercultural dialogue framework and a new pedagogical technique in the field of virtual exchange.
Effects of the environmental factors in call centre interiors: a case study
Authors: Jabłońska Joanna , Ceylan Salih
Published: January 2024

Environmental factors in workspaces affect employee productivity and satisfaction, particularly in call centres. One of the most challenging issues in contemporary offices is overcoming the problems of concentration on work, despite adverse effects such as insufficient lighting, inappropriate acoustics, or inadequate ventilation. The challenges increase in open-plan solutions. This paper presents a case study from Turkey that elaborates on strategies to improve environmental performance in call centres. It is inspired by a questionnaire conducted among employees of a call centre, identifying existing design lacks. Based on the results, acoustic quality calculations of the physical workspace follow, and initial computing outcomes reveal that the conditions do not meet the standards for call centres. The authors propose strategies to improve acoustic performance in the workspace and apply them to a virtual model. Results reveal that the proposed solutions allow for meeting the standards. Based on the findings, the authors suggest several other strategies for improving the physical environmental quality of the place, thus forming a guideline for the architectural design of call centres. The study derives information from a specific case and context to propose universally applicable solutions. It fills a gap in the literature as it exemplifies the characteristics of call centres in Turkey, which have not been studied before.

One among many disc problems is disc protrusion, which has more prevalence in outpatient department physical therapy management Centre globally. The purpose of this study was to compare the effect of lumbar spine decompression therapy and standard physical therapy treatment in patients with lumbar radiculopathy due to disc protrusion. The single-blind randomized control trial of 71 patients was conducted at Max Rehab & Physical Therapy Centre Islamabad, Pakistan. After setting inclusion criteria all the patients were randomly allocated into treatment and control group. Both group received standard physical therapy treatment including, Moist Hot pack, Lumbar Mobilization, Stretching & strengthening exercises. The only difference was that Decompression Group received additional Decompression therapy. The data included demographics and Numeric Pain Rating Scale score in supine lying position for the painful leg and Straight Leg Raise Range for the painful side. The values for leg pain for control group decreased from 6 to 3 and the value for straight leg raise increased from 15° to 49°. The values for leg pain for the Decompression Group decreased from 6 to 2 and the value for the straight leg raise increased from 10° to 48°, the p value for both the variables was <.001 showing statistically significant difference between pre and post values in treating patients leg pain and straight leg raise range of motion. It is concluded that decompression therapy is more effective in managing lumbar radiculopathy.

Le Corti di diritto inglese esercitano la c.d. inherent jurisdiction, nelle liti che coinvolgono le posizioni di diritto sostanziale dei trust, per determinare le situazioni in cui sussistono ipotesi di litisconsorzio necessario, ovvero casi in cui si rende necessaria una mera integrazione del contraddittorio nei confronti di coloro che potrebbero essere pregiudicati dalla decisione resa, ove queste parti siano il disponente e i beneficiari in una controversia che coinvolge il trustee per breach of fiduciary duty.
Sulle condizioni richieste per la modifica dei soggetti beneficiari del trust (In the matter of the representation of Paicolex Trust Management and Paicolex Trust Company, 21 luglio 2023)
Authors: Semproni Antonio
Published: January 2024

Massima
La proposta di modificare tre trust – istituiti dal disponente uno a vantaggio di ciascun figlio e della sua rispettiva discendenza – includendo il disponente tra i beneficiari deve essere rigettata se le esigenze di pianificazione fiscale addotte a giustificazione della modifica non possono considerarsi attuali, in quanto la giovane età dei figli del disponente non permette di prevedere in quale Paese costoro saranno residenti e quindi quale sarà l’imposizione applicabile alle elargizioni di capitale e reddito da parte del trustee ed era comune desiderio del disponente e della defunta moglie di evitare che i figli ricevessero benefici significativi dal trust fino a quando non avessero raggiunto una certa maturità o qualche successo professionale.

Massima
La domanda avanzata dalla creditrice, ex coniuge del disponente, di revocare e dichiarare inefficace nei propri confronti il trasferimento dei beni immobili dal disponente al trustee è idonea a fondare la pronuncia di revoca ex art. 2901 cod. civ. del conferimento in trust.
La polizza assicurativa del trustee: un delicato equilibrio tra le clausole di esenzione da responsabilità e la tutela dei beneficiari
Authors: Latrofa Nunzio Dario
Published: January 2024

Sunto
La polizza assicurativa del trustee è utile in tutte le fasi della durata del trust, finanche in sede di passaggio di consegne tra trustee, momento nel quale, però, possono emergere difficoltà in presenza di trustee non professionali. L’esistenza di clausole di esclusione da responsabilità negli atti di trust, nondimeno, seppur accettata dalla legge e dalla giurisprudenza, andrebbe correttamente comunicata e illustrata al disponente e ai beneficiari, finanche rispetto alla conseguente reale portata che avrà la polizza.

Published: January 2024

AimTo evaluate the positioning uncertainty in patients treated with encephalic stereotactic technique using the combination of a surgical mask with thermoplastic mask for immobilization of radiotherapy treatment.Materials and methodsRetrospective “Matched Pair” review and evaluation of a sample of 19 patients, divided into two groups, treated between November 2018 and March 2022 with a number of active lesions less than or equal to 2 on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI): the first group includes patients treated in the pre-Covid-19 era and immobilized without a surgical mask, while the second treated in the Covid-19 era with a surgical mask. ResultsThe study showed that there were no statistically significant differences between the two study groups by obtaining as positioning error in Verticality (Y-axis) values of 0.5 mm without surgical mask compared with -0.4 mm with surgical mask;in Longitudinal (Z-axis) values of -0.3 mm compared with 0.2 mm with surgical mask and finally in Laterality (X-axis) values of -0.6 mm without surgical mask compared with 0.1 mm with surgical mask. Subsequently, dose fluence analysis also confirmed the set-up reliability datum with the online in vivo dosimetry reproducibility datum.DiscussionThe association of the surgical mask with the thermoplastic mask, which was necessary in the Covid-19 era, proved to be essential in order to ensure the quality of treatments delivered without compromising the safety of operators and patients within the Operating Unit.
COMPARISON BETWEEN CYANOACRYLATE GLUE FIXATION VERSUS SUTURE FIXATION OF MESH IN LICHTENSTEIN'S HERNIOPLASTY
Authors: Mohith V. V. E. K. , Hegde Harshith
Published: January 2024

Inguinal hernia repairis one ofthe most common surgeries performed by surgeonsfollowed by appendectomy.There are myriad operative procedures
mentioned for repair of hernia. With introduction of Lichtenstein's mesh repair in 1986, most of the tissue based repairs are rarely performed as mesh
repair haslow recurrence rates and easy learning curve. One of the mostserious complication associated with mesh based repair is chronic groin pain,
which atsome times can be debilitating to the patients.Manymethodsto overcome this complication had been introduced.One suchmethod is use ofNButyl-2-Cyanoacrylate glue formesh xation.In thisstudy the efcacy of glue is compared with standardmethod ofmesh xation with polypropylene
sutures. Materials & Methods The prospective randomised control trial was conducted in J.J.M. Medical College department of generalsurgery. 100
patients admitted to department of general surgery undergoing Lichtenstein hernioplasty and willing to participate in study were included and
randomised to mesh xation with polypropylene suture (Group A) and mesh xation with N-Butyl-2-Cyanoacrylate glue (group B). The main
outcomes for the study were immediate post operative pain and chronic groin pain. The secondary outcomes were duration of surgery, post operative
length ofstay,recovery time to performdaily activities, wound infection,foreign body sensation, hematoma seroma formation and recurrence. Results
The operative time, early post operative pain and chronic groin pain,seroma formation,return to daily activities and hospitalstaywere signicantly low
in cyanoacrylate group. The incidence of hematoma, wound infection were same in both the groups. Conclusions This study shows that the mesh
xation with glue causes less early post operative pain, chronic groin pain and lesser post operative time than mesh xation with suture which makes

Developing Teaching Materials for Teaching Slovene in FVG: A Case Study and Development Opportunities
Authors: Brezigar Sara , Zver Sofija
Published: January 2024

The authors present a case study on the development and evaluation of teaching materials for teaching Slovene in schools with Slovene as language of instruction and in the sloveneitalian bilingual school in Italy, as developed in the INTERREG project EDUKA2. The authors discuss possible developmental perspectives in the field of minority language teaching and preparation of teaching materials. The authors note that modern technology offers some answers to the challenges of distributing and sharing teaching materials among school and kindergarten teachers, and that the Slovenian community in Italy could take advantage of it, and conclude that the role of teachers and educators is still essential in upgrading and adapting teaching materials.
Communicative Competence in Schools with Slovene as the Language of Instruction in Italy
Authors: Mlekuž Maja Melinc
Published: January 2024

In the settlement area of the Slovene national and linguistic minority in Italy the situations in which Slovene language varieties are used are scarce. The main share of the responsibility for developing effective communication skills in Slovene is therefore transferred to the didactically structured environment. This paper examines the obstacles faced by educational institutions in developing communicative competence in Slovene, the extent to which these obstacles are tackled in the didactic-methodical structure of Slovene lessons conducted at Slovene-language schools in Italy, and the manner in which this is reflected in national examinations, the matura examination, i.e., a school-leaving examination at the end of the upper-secondary school, and the INVALSI examinations for different levels of schooling. The paper outlines the guidelines for conducting communication-based lessons and offers an example of good practice, namely a lesson plan developed within the project EDUKA 2 – Cross-Border Governance of Education.
“Whoever Dies Righteously, Lives Forever”: Religious Content of Commemorations in Croatian News Media
Authors: Šuligoj Metod
Published: January 2024

The main purpose of the present research was to determine the extent to which Croatian news media report on religious content at commemorations and on other characteristics of commemorative events. Commemorations can be understood either as a component aimed at consolidating national identity or as a component of dark tourism. Using quantitative content analysis, we first coded all archived and publicly available online articles (f = 363) from Croatian news media/newspapers. For statistical analysis purposes, we used cross tabulations and binary logistic regression. We found that reporting on religious rituals at commemorations does not depend on the medium (newspaper, newspaper publisher) and that the medium does not influence the frequency of reporting. Likewise, reporting on the inclusion of religious rituals in commemorations is not related to reporting on other features of these events. Hence, on the one hand, media practices do not take full advantage of certain assumptions offered by the Catholic religion in relation to memory and are, on the other hand, more in line with the threats that religion can pose in postconflict multicultural settings.
Change in the Discursive Practices of Bilingual Speakers after Moving to a Monolingual Environment
Authors: Kumar Danila Zuljan
Published: January 2024

The article analyses the speech behaviour of two speakers who were born into bilingual families, grew up in a bilingual environment in Italy, and decided as adults to move to a monolingual Slovene environment. We are interested in how the change in environment affects their discursive practises. To acquire the data, the guided conversation method and transcription of audio-recorded discourse were used, while the interactional sociolinguistic analysis method was used to analyse the discourse. The study showed that in the monolingual Slovene environment, both speakers found it difficult to adapt their speech to Slovene technical language. They also lacked the specific Slovene expressions used in everyday life. On the other hand, although their Slovene was interspersed with Italian interference, they knew variations in Slovene and were sensitive to the use of slang in standard Slovene.

Toxoplasma gondii  is one of the most frequent parasite all over the world. Most patients are asymptomatic, except in immunosuppressed individuals and pregnant women , which can be seriously injured. Prenatal diagnosis should be made rapidly in view of the fact that treatment of the mother can reduce fetal sequelae.      The present study was  used Rapid test as a  serological method to detected IgG and IgM antibodies titers and the Nested polymerase chain reaction technique (nPCR) in 74 samples of blood were collected  from pregnant women whom with history of  abortion. The aborted cases were 33 out of 74, while 41cases were reach birth, 15 cases were early birth ( 29-36 week) period and 26  cases were reach birth with normal pregnancy period ( 37-42 week).    The result of Rapid test reveled that IgM and IgG were positive in pregnant women  29/ 74 and 47/74  respectively , while the nested polymerase chain reaction technique (nPCR)  result showed 36/74.       The Nested polymerase chain reaction technique (nPCR) was also done on the ( 41) newborn babies. The total number of newborn babies with congenital anomalies were 16 and the positive result of (nPCR) in newborn showed 17. The validity of B1 gene in prenatally toxoplasmosis showed the sensitivity, specificity, positive productive value and negative productive value were (91%, 81% ,78% and 100%) respectively, while the sensitivity, specificity, positive productive value and negative productive value in postnatally were (88%, 83%, 94% and 96%) respectively.     The aim of study was the early finding congenital toxoplasmosis of maternofetal transmission, for early treatment to avoid unwanted sequelae using nPCR technique in support of early diagnosis T. gongii in the prenatal of congenitally and to evaluate these results to the postnatal infection.

Most of the animal stock is mainly fed on farms and homestead plots. Farmers grow the fodder crops required for the stock (corn, clover) on their land plots of 0.5–3 hectares. Technological operations, particularly mowing of crops, are made manually in such small areas as the operational quality of traditional mowing units used on small fi elds is far from good; moreover, they may damage crops and consume plenty of fuel, which may increase costs and cause fi nancial losses to farmers. The operation of mini-grass mowing units can help avoid such nuisances. This needs a rationale for the operating parameters of small units. Rational working rate and working width of a small mower comprising a mini tractor TTZ-30C and a mini mowing unit KOS2,1 the basic methodologies of tractor dynamics and composition of machine-tractor aggregates (calculation of power balance, determination of traction resistance of the unit) have been used for justifying the parameters. An investigation of the power balance has defi ned numerical values for the hook capacity (4,06 kW) and traction resistance (1,195 kN) of a grass mowing unit. A working width of 2.1 m and a rational working speed of 12.23 km/h correspond to these values. A mini mowing unit comprising TTZ-30C and КОС-2,1 is being proposed for operating on smaller farming land plots. The methodologies suggested in this study can be used to justify parameters using identical technical means.

This paper presents methods of determining the amount of particles emitted into the environment as a result of brake pad wear during car braking, taking into account the coefficient of friction of the wheel with the road. The amount of particles emitted by brake pads into the atmosphere is theoretically calculated, taking into account the change in the service life of the brake pads of a car depending on the contact coefficient of the wheels with the road. The analysis of metal concentration distribution in particles produced by brake pad wear during car braking is also extensively covered. Road traffic-related sources contribute significantly to the formation of particulate matter in urban air. Samples taken during vehicle braking have been found to contain large amounts of metallic elements such as iron, copper, zinc, chromium, tin, and antimony. At present, there is evidence of the negative impact of particles generated during automobile braking on the environment. The paper presents a comparative analysis of theoretical and experimental results of brake pad wear rate depending on the stroke coefficient. According to the results of the comparative analysis of the results of the theoretical calculation of the average wear rate of car brake pads depending on the coefficient of grip, it is established that the wear rate varies depending on the coefficient of grip.
