Authors: MC Janaki , S Anil Kumar , S Rudrank , H Kehakashan , RV Meenakshy , R Renjini
Published: January 2025

This study investigates the dynamics of foot placement as a forensic tool for identifying individuals in various scenarios,
focusing on the differences between athletes and non-athletes. Analyzing the unique characteristics of foot placement patterns,
we examine how factors such as gait, pressure distribution, and stride length vary between these two groups. Collected data
from a sample of professional athletes across different sports and a control group of non-athletes. Findings reveal that athletes
exhibit distinct foot placement dynamics characterized by more consistent and efficient gait patterns, marked by variations
in pressure distribution and stride mechanics. These insights highlight the potential for utilizing foot placement dynamics in
forensic contexts to enhance the accuracy of individual identification and scene reconstruction. This study emphasizes the
importance of considering physical conditioning and activity levels in forensic analysis.
Property Virtual Objects within the Scope of Regulation of Property Crimes
Authors: J Na , L Xiang
Published: January 2025

In online games, the legal attributes of virtual objects such as equipment, skins, pets, etc., have always been a controversial
focus in judicial practice. Regarding the fundamental attributes of these virtual objects, there are two different paths of
identification: "property" and "data", leading to disagreements between property crimes and data crimes such as illegally
obtaining computer information system data. On the one hand, the traditional concept of property focuses on physical
property, making it difficult for virtual objects to fall within the narrow scope of property in criminal law. On the other hand,
some scholars and judicial practices believe that although virtual objects in online games do not have a physical existence
in the traditional sense, they possess certain market value and disposability, and their status as virtual property should
be acknowledged. Based on this, this paper argues that although online game virtual objects cannot fully conform to the
definition of traditional "property", they have usage interests for players. The economic value and transactional attributes
they display are consistent with the characteristics of property interests. By incorporating property interests, virtual objects
on the internet can receive appropriate protection under the framework of criminal law. This expanded interpretation can
effectively regulate and combat criminal acts involving virtual objects on the internet.

INTRODUCTION: Purulent inflammatory soft tissue infections (PISTI) are a serious problem of modern medicine and occupy one of the main places in the structure of surgical diseases. A steady increase in the number of patients with this pathology is caused by many factors, including: the appearance of highly virulent and antibiotic-resistant strains of pathogens, a decrease in the general immunological reactivity of the population, insufficient knowledge of the immuno-metabolic genesis of infection, a limited set of proven means of basic therapy for patients.
AIM: To improve the effectiveness of treatment of PISTI by identification of key clinical and laboratory disorders in patients as markers for additional administration of combinations of meldonium (Ml) as a metabolic agent with systemic modulators of different components of the immune system.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study was conducted in 100 patients suffering PISTI, namely phlegmon of the lower leg, thigh, hand and forearms, axillary and gluteal regions. The patients were divided into 5 groups of 20 people each by gender, age, location of lesions. The comparison control group included 30 one-time donors of the same gender and age. All the patients underwent the basic treatment represented with preoperative preparation, opening of the purulent focus, its sanitation, draining, administration of the specialized antibacterial, transfusion, symptomatic treatment. Bacteriologic and bacterioscopic examinations were conducted.
RESULTS: Formulas of targets for differentiated treatment of infection demonstrate modification of mechanisms of action of the therapeutic complex due to the additional use of pharmacological drugs. Diagnostic clinical and laboratory markers of pathology were established, and signal laboratory tests for immune-metabolic disorders were determined.
CONCLUSIONS: In the acute period of purulent infection of soft tissue, the main clinical symptoms were identified in 85%–100% of patients, as well as accumulation of hemato-biochemical markers of inflammation, imbalance of anti-inflammatory cytokines, absorption and metabolic activity of phagocytes, lipid peroxidation products and of antioxidant system with the underlying activation of T-B-dependent reactions. The surgical and conservative treatment combination provides the maximal clinical, satisfactory immune-antiinflammatory and unsatisfactory metabolic effects.

INTRODUCTION: Improving treatment strategies for odontogenic cysts of jaws continues to attract attention of medical community in view of their spread and potentially serious consequences. Lack of timely intervention can lead to significant damages to the bone tissue, chewing problems, and to loss of teeth and probable fractures. One of the main dangers is the risk of infection of cysts, which can provoke the development of infections such as maxillary sinusitis, osteomyelitis and abscesses, presenting a serious threat to patient’s life. In addition, it is necessary to take into account the probability of degeneration of epithelial cyst envelope and the development of cancer processes in the jaw area. The lack of reliable data on the effectiveness of various surgical techniques makes it difficult to develop clear recommendations for their use. To note, provision of normal blood circulation in the wound area after surgery, among other things, through incision of the mucosa and periosteum to access the cyst, is a critical aspect of postoperative care in patients with odontogenic cysts of jaws. It is also important to pay due attention to a proper filling of root canals during teeth-saving surgeries. To date, no consensus has been achieved in literature as for the optimal material for retrograde filling of root canals, and the number of complications due to improper retrograde filling, remains significant.
CONCLUSION: The article describes a clinical case of preoperative preparation of teeth of a patient with a habitual odontogenic cyst. Diagnostic methods are presented providing implementation of a wide range of measures during one appointment permitting to reduce the time of treatment.

INTRODUCTION: This literature review aims to familiarize the reader with methods of treating anxiety using antioxidants and immunotropic antidepressants. The multifactorial nature of anxiety and depression face the scientist a question about reasonability of certain treatment methods. The review is non-systematic, is conducted using the international and domestic literature sources, databases, and involves the results of studies posted on the PubMed portal and in the scientific electronic library eLibrary. The depth of search was 30 years (from 1993 to 2023). The review included the sources on the topic of the work. A deeper study of anxiety and depression showed the existence of the interrelation between the immune and mental status. Thus, the question arised in face of the scientific community is about the use of drugs possessing not only psychotropic, but also immunotropic effect. Of special attention are publications that highlight the potential role of drugs affecting the immune system in further treatment of anxiety and depression. In addition, the application of antioxidant drugs in patients of different profiles including a psychiatric one is discussed.
CONCLUSION: The involvement of immune and metabolic factors in the pathological process indicates the necessity of using a complex therapeutic approach in such patients. However, the existing scientific data are insufficient to make unambiguous conclusions about the final algorithm of pharmacological treatment of both anxiety and depression.
Modern View on the Role of Myocardial Fibrosis and Its Biochemical Markers in Diagnosis of Chronic Heart Failure
Authors:   Ryazan State Medical University, Ponomareva Ol’ga V. , Smirnova Elena A. ,   Ryazan State Medical University
Published: January 2025

INTRODUCTION: The problem of chronic heart failure (CHF) is relevant nowadays as never before. International experts estimate that more than 64.3 million people worldwide live with heart failure. In developed countries, its prevalence is estimated at 1%–2% of the total adult population; in our country, according to the EPOCHA epidemiological study, it reaches 8.2%.
AIM: To systematize the current data on the role of myocardial fibrosis in CHF and determine the diagnostic significance of its laboratory markers.
Myocardial fibrosis being the basis for remodeling of the heart chambers, is the main etiological and pathogenetic factor of the development of CHF. The maximally exact information about its severity in a particular patient, can be obtained only in histologic examination; magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the heart that is a ‘gold standard’ for non-invasive visualization of the myocardium, has limitations to a wide use. In this context, the importance of determining the biochemical markers of myocardial fibrosis increases. The most proven laboratory markers of CHF are natriuretic peptides. Galectin-3, which triggers the process of myocardial fibrosis, is not only a biochemical marker, but also a therapeutic target in CHF. The C-terminal propeptide of procollagen type I and the N-terminal propeptide of procollagen type III being collagen derivatives, have proven diagnostic significance for CHF. Matrix metalloproteinases and their tissue inhibitors control proteolysis of the extracellular matrix, therefore, the process of myocardial fibrosis leads to changes in their ratio. An increase in the concentration of the soluble isoform of the stimulating growth factor expressed by gene 2 (sST2) blocks the protective antiproliferative mechanism and indicates myocardial fibrosis, which has been proven in experimental studies. The article considers the history of the theory of myocardial fibrosis and the chronology of discovery of its main laboratory markers. Special attention is given to investigations on this issue in patients with CHF and other concomitant diseases conducted in our country.
CONCLUSION: The priority direction is search for laboratory markers of myocardial fibrosis that have diagnostic value, with the aim of timely selection of therapy that can suspend progression of CHF. The most complete information about the condition of the myocardium can be provided by a multimarker diagnostic model.

INTRODUCTION The main reasons for the unsatisfactory outcome of surgical treatment of patients with non-traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) due to ruptured cerebral aneurysms are vascular spasm (VS) and delayed cerebral ischemia. Lysis of blood clots in the subarachnoid space leads to the release of a large number of various vasoactive factors that stimulate cytotoxic, inflammatory reactions and oxidative stress, which may be one of the reasons for the development of VS and secondary ischemic brain damage.

THE AIM OF THE STUDY Study of the dynamics of oxidative stress indicators and factors of endogenous vascular regulation in patients with non-traumatic SAH due to ruptured cerebral aneurysms.

MATERIAL AND METHODS A total of 80 patients in the acute period of SAH due to ruptured cerebral aneurysms were treated and examined. The average age of the patients was 51.7 years. The control group (norm) included 25 practically healthy people, whose average age was 32.7±8.6 years. The study used the blood serum and cerebrospinal fluid of the patients. The study points were 0, 1, 3, and 7 days after the patient’s admission to the hospital. The severity of oxidative stress was assessed by the level of malonic dialdehyde (MDA) and total antioxidant activity of blood serum (TAA); vasotonic function of vascular endothelium by the content of stable metabolites of nitric oxide (NOx) and the concentration of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE). Biochemical studies were carried out on the biochemical analyzer “Olympus AU 2700” (Beckman Coulter, USA).

RESULTS It was revealed that patients with SAH already had pronounced oxidative stress upon admission to the hospital (increased MDA level, decreased TAA level), which led to an imbalance in the endogenous regulation of vascular tone (decreased NOx level, increased ACE concentration) and increased by the 7th day after admission to the hospital. High lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity was observed, the peak of which was on the 7th day of observation. Determination of LDH activity may be promising as a biomarker of ischemic brain injury and a prognostic indicator of the development of an unfavorable outcome.

CONCLUSIONS The obtained data indicate the need for a comprehensive approach to the treatment of patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage. The most relevant therapeutic goal is the removal of blood from the subarachnoid space of the brain to prevent increased oxidative stress and angiospasm.

RELEVANCE In order to objectify the diagnosis of acute appendicitis, a number of scales have been developed, the foreign practice of using which implies performing computed tomography in the case of obtaining intermediate point values corresponding to the average probability of acute appendicitis. This tactical solution, which is still difficult to implement in domestic conditions, limits the use of diagnostic scales and serves as a reason to search for other ways of using them.

AIM OF THE STUDY To evaluate the external validity of the AIRS, Ripasa, AAS and Alvarado scales on the available clinical material and upon obtaining satisfactory results, to determine the applicability of these classifiers in matters of making specific tactical decisions.

MATERIAL AND METHODS The work is based on the analysis of medical records of 293 patients hospitalized with suspected acute appendicitis at the St. Petersburg State Healthcare Institution “Elizavetinskaya Hospital” in the period from 2019 to 2022. Using information on postoperative diagnoses, the values of the AIRS, Ripasa, AAS and Alvarado scores were retrospectively calculated for each of the patients examined, followed by a comparison of the results obtained and the outcomes of hospitalization by conducting a regression analysis.

RESULTS The AIRS, Ripasa, AAS, and Alvarado scales for assessing the probability of acute appendicitis, as applied to the analyzed group of patients, demonstrated external validity due to the preservation of referral threshold values, good description of the studied binary variance (AUC greater than 0.8), and sufficiently high adjusted correlation coefficients (from 0.57 and higher). The final diagnostic accuracy for all analyzed classifiers did not differ statistically significantly and was at acceptable levels of 78.8%, 76.7%, 76.7%, and 75.7% for the AIRS, Ripasa, AAS, and Alvarado scales, respectively (p=0.115). The hypothetical choice of the upper limit of low risk as the threshold value after which all patients are subject to diagnostic laparoscopy may lead to a statistically significant decrease in the number of inpatient observations of patients with acute appendicitis without increasing the frequency of diagnostic laparoscopies in healthy patients.

CONCLUSION The use of the AIRS, Ripasa, AAS and Alvarado assessment scales is advisable both from the standpoint of diagnosing acute appendicitis and for making tactical decisions, provided that patients with intermediate scale values are shifted towards active surgical actions.

INTRODUCTION Treatment of gastrointestinal bleeding in patients receiving anticoagulant and antiplatelet therapy is an extremely complex and urgent problem. The risks of recurrent bleeding in such patients are extremely high, while the effectiveness of standard methods of treating gastrointestinal bleeding in this category of patients is lower, compared to the general population. The above served as a prerequisite for this study.

MATERIAL AND METHODS In the period from 2020 to 2023, 362 patients receiving antiplatelet or anticoagulant therapy were treated for gastrointestinal bleeding at the O.I. Filatov City Clinical Hospital. All patients underwent endoscopic examination of the gastrointestinal tract, with primary endoscopic hemostasis required in 126 patients (34.8%). Endovascular embolization of the vessel — the source of bleeding. Risk factors for death, need for surgical intervention and recurrence of bleeding were analyzed. The sensitivity and specificity of the Rockall and Glasgow–Blatchford scales for assessing the risk of recurrence of bleeding and the need for surgical intervention in this category of patients were studied.

RESULTS Anticoagulant therapy was statistically significantly associated with an increased risk of death. Among the risk factors for death, COVID-19 infection, age over 75 years, and arterial hypertension were statistically significant. Endovascular hemostasis demonstrated the greatest effectiveness embolization , the frequency of recurrent bleeding in this intervention was 5.7%, versus 32.5% in endoscopic interventions. The prognostic significance of the Rockall and Glasgow– Blatchford scales according to the results of our study was insufficient.

CONCLUSION The results of the study are consistent with the data of the world literature. It is necessary to take into account the high efficiency of endovascular embolization in this category of patients when choosing a hemostasis method. Risk factors associated with a fatal outcome also do not contradict the generally accepted concept. At the same time, the feasibility and objectives of using current prognostic scales in such patients require further study.

Patients over 75 years of age receiving anticoagulant therapy, as well as patients with COVID-19, have a lower risk of death, which must be taken into account when treating such patients (p<0.01).

The appropriateness of using the Rockall and Glasgow–Blatchford prognostic scales in this category of patients is low, as evidenced by the low area under the curve (AUC) for the Rockall scale (0.6) and for the Glasgow–Blatchford scale (0.48).

Published: January 2025

Giant cell arteritis is a disease characterized by granulomatous inflammation of large and medium-sized arteries. The aorta and its large branches are most susceptible to pathological changes in this arteritis. The course of giant cell arteritis is often complicated by ischemia in the blood supply basin of the artery involved in the pathological process. Variants of such complications may be ischemic optic neuropathy and retinopathy, limb ischemia, and acute cerebrovascular accident. This review presents current data on the etiology and pathogenesis of giant cell arteritis, prevalence, sensitivity, and specificity of clinical and instrumental signs of this disease, as well as practical recommendations for various treatment methods during exacerbation and remission.

Published: January 2025

Echinococcosis of the liver is an important problem of hematology, which in many cases is solved only with the help of surgical methods of treatment. This is primarily due to the significant number of patients with cystic echinococcosis of the liver in endemic regions, despite the implementation of preventive measures. There are still many complicated and unsolved questions concerning differential diagnostics and choice of tactics of surgical treatment for liver echinococcosis.

The problem of surgical treatment of liver echinococcosis is far from its final solution. Depending on the size of the liver lesion area, the nature of the process, severity and type of complications, different forms of treatment for cystic echinococcosis of the liver are chosen. However, during surgical treatment, such complications as liver failure, massive intraoperative bleeding with the development of hemorrhagic shock may develop. After surgical interventions for cystic echinococcosis of the liver, morphologic changes in liver tissues and signs of liver failure do not disappear, but progress; and this negatively affects the longterm treatment outcomes. Therefore, reduction of traumatic operations, prevention of hemorrhagic complications, maximum preservation of functioning liver parenchyma is one of the most important directions of echinococcosis surgery development.

In this paper, we analyze the literature sources of PubMed, eLibrary, RINC databases, which are devoted to the comparison of the effectiveness of methods of surgical treatment for cystic echinococcosis of the liver, published for the last 5 years. The conducted analysis of modern literature testifies to the relevance of the problem of choosing the method of surgical treatment for liver echinococcosis.

In recent years, there has been intensive development of surgical hepatology, which is associated with the introduction of new technologies in the diagnosis and treatment of patients with various focal liver diseases, including cystic echinococcosis. At the same time at present, there are great differences in surgical indications for treatment of hepatic echinococcosis due to differences in the technical level and experience in conducting or mastering these techniques.

AIM OF STUDY To evaluate the effectiveness of intestinal lavage with glucose-saline solution for acute necrotic pancreatitis in children..

MATERIAL AND METHODS A retrospective analysis of the diagnosis and treatment of 48 children aged 3 to 17 years with impaired propulsive function of the intestine against the background of acute necrotic pancreatitis of moderate and severe severity was carried out. Intestinal insufficiency syndrome was diagnosed in 39 cases. In the 1st group (n=13) in I A phase in addition to standard therapy, intestinal lavage was performed during the disease phase, in the 2nd group (n=35) the standard therapy for acute necrotic pancreatitis was performed.

RESULTS Median the duration of gastrostasis in group 1 was 4 days (IQR, interquartile range: 2; 5), in group 2-6 days (IQR: 4; 7) (from 2 to 13), p=0.0181. The duration of intestinal paresis in group 1 was 2 days (IQR: 2; 4), in group 2–4 days (IQR: 3; 5), p<0.0053. The median time of onset of independent stool in group 1 was 3 days (IQR: 3; 5), in group 2 — 5.5 days (IQR: 4.3; 6), p<0.0014. Reduction in the level of C-reactive protein by day 3–4: in group 1, the median was 8.2 mg/l (IQR: 1.16; 34.6) (from 0 to 46.9), in group 2 — 31.97 mg/l (IQR: 17.71; 112.4) (from 14 to 285), p=0.028. The risk of developing purulent complications was 4-fold higher in group 2, p=0.0088. The duration of hospitalization in the 1st group was shorter, p=0.0004.

CONCLUSION Carrying out intestinal lavage in children with impaired propulsive function of the intestine against the background of acute necrotic pancreatitis significantly more quickly restores the function of the gastrointestinal tract and facilitates an earlier start of enteral feeding.

Published: January 2025

BACKGROUND Uterine lacerations are rare but one of the hardest and most dangerous obstetric aftereffects for life of a woman and a baby. Uterine sidewall altered by a scar after caesarean section or laparoscopic myomectomy is recognized as the leading cause of uterine rupture. In turn, histopathic laceration of the uterus during labor, associated with rupture of adjacent organs in a woman with a history of normal childbirth, seems casuistic and deserves discussion.

THE AIM OF THE STUDY To present a clinical case of non-operated uterine laceration of a multiparous woman in impetuous labor.

MATERIAL AND METHODS A multiparous woman, 35 years old, with histopathic uterine laceration, ruptures of cervix, vagina, and bladder with conization of the cervix in anamnesis in impetuous labor.

RESULTS The article describes a clinical observation of histopathic uterine laceration in labor.

CONCLUSION A favorable outcome with an organ-preserving surgery in case of histopathic uterine laceration is possible only if the diagnosis of the complication is done timely, and high-quality surgical treatment is carried out within a short space of time. The uterus after the history of cervical conization must be treated as carefully – due to its possible rupture – as the uterus altered by a scar after surgical interventions. Manual examination immediately after impetuous labor with a third-degree cervical rupture would allow for timely diagnosis of uterine laceration, prevention of blood loss and the performance of organ-preserving surgical intervention.

AIM OF THE STUDY was to present a case of combined, staged surgical treatment for locally advanced cardioesophageal cancer complicated by esophageal stenosis in a comorbid patient with a significant lesion of the internal carotid artery, and to summarize the data of scientific literature on the methods for its diagnosis and treatment.

MATERIAL AND METHODS A 65-year-old patient came to the Moscow Clinical Research and Practice Center named after A.S. Loginov in August 2020 with complaints of difficulty in passing solid food through the esophagus. During the examination at the Center, Siewert II cType 3 T4bN2M0 G3 cardioesophageal junction cancer was diagnosed. Taking into account the results of comprehensive diagnostics, the patient was found to have asymptomatic stenosis of the internal carotid artery up to 75%. Step-by-step surgical treatment of the patient was performed.

DISCUSSION In the presented clinical observation for prevention of intraand postoperative ischemic complications, at the first stage the patient underwent carotid endarterectomy followed by surgical treatment for the underlying pathology. The presented observation is of interest due to the rare occurrence of such a combination of surgical interventions and the lack of consensus regarding the treatment tactics for this category of patients.

CONCLUSION Combined staged treatment of a patient with cardioesophageal cancer and internal carotid artery stenosis reduces the risk of perioperative complications and improves the prognosis of further treatment for the underlying disease.

Published: January 2025

The integration of emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) and immersive systems including augmented/virtual/mixed realities (AR/VR/MR) into engineering education can significantly enhance student engagement through their personalized and self-paced learning capabilities. Their virtual laboratories also make it possible for students and tutors to replicate real-life and often complex engineering activities within hazardfree environments with high repeatability. Therefore, this  paper investigates the benefits of integrating digital tools into technical programmes delivered within higher education institutions (HEIs), with a focus on engineering programmes. The discussion covers student experiences, teaching quality and efficiency, feedback and comments, etc. Moreover, the challenges and concerns of using digital tools in HEIs are also considered, with an overarching aim of contributing to the ongoing discussions around the pros and cons of such tools on knowledge management.

Published: January 2025

This survey study aims to review the propaganda activities of the Bintang Timur newspaper, published by the Indonesian Communist Party (PKI), during the Indonesia-Malaysia Confrontation from 1963 to 1965. The objective of this study is to examine how effectively the PKI utilized Bintang Timur to spread propaganda in order to gain public support for the movement to Ganyang Malaysia (Crush Malaysia). The propaganda, through articles and cartoons, successfully instilled hatred among the people towards the leaders and citizens of Malaysia. This study explores the Indonesian Communist Party's (PKI) role in the Indonesia-Malaysia Confrontation (1963-1965), using historical methodology and focusing on its political, social, and military involvement. Data is collected through library research, primarily examining newspapers published by the PKI. In addition to references at the National Library of the Republic of Indonesia, field studies such as interviews and observations were also conducted by the author. The study's findings show that the propaganda of the Indonesian Communist Party, through both written content and the use of cartoons, successfully influenced the Indonesian public to support President Sukarno's confrontation policy towards Malaysia. This public support was translated into backing for President Sukarno’s Ganyang Malaysia campaign.
The Brilliant Legacy of Islam in Andalusia 711–1492: The Influence of Islamic Civilization's Golden Age on Europe's Renaissance
Authors: Ainiyah Mahfudhoh , Setiawan Agus Mahfudin
Published: January 2025

This study examines the heyday of Islamic civilization in Andalusia and its influence on the rise of Europe through a historiographic approach. By highlighting the timeline of advanced civilization in Andalusia and the backward conditions in Christian Europe, this study shows how advances in education, culture, and scientific innovation in Andalusia, such as in Cordova, Granada, and Seville, have had a significant impact on Europe. By conducting a strategic analysis of figures who played a role in the Islamic civilization period in Andalusia, starting from invasions, glory, to decline. Using historical methods through primary sources from historical figures such as Philip Khuri Hitti and Reinhart Dozy, this study provides an in-depth picture of the transfer of science and culture from the Islamic world to Europe.

The article presents the findings of a sociological study examining the state of platform and remote employ-ment in the Volgograd Region (N = 120, employing the method of semi-structured in-depth interviews, con-ducted as part of the grant No. 24-28-20066 “The State of the Labor Market in the Volgograd Region: Behavior-al Trajectories Considering Remote and Platform Employment”). The author analyzes the content of the digital-ization process as a trend in the development of the modern world, changing the order of employment in the labor market. While the theoretical framework surrounding the category of digital employment remains inade-quately defined within the realm of modern labor practices, platform and remote employment are delineated as distinct categories. The article provides a comprehensive definition of the explored categories, where the salient feature of platform employment is the existence of a specialized online platform, whereas remote em-ployment is characterized by its unequivocal adherence to a remote work format. The extent and causal factors contributing to the proliferation of platform and remote employment are examined through the lens of genera-tional theory. Furthermore, the article presents conclusions regarding the engagement of various generational cohorts in flexible employment formats and articulates potential behavioral trajectories in the labor market of the region.

The article presents the results of a study of adaptive skills on the Vineland Scale in adolescents with autism spectrum disorders and mental retardation. The assessment of the level of general, verbal and non-verbal in-telligence according to the D. Wexler (WISC) test adapted by A. Panasyuk, neuropsychological testing with as-sessment of the severity of disorders in brain blocks according to A. Luria, assessment of complex visual-motor reaction. The study involved 34 adolescents with autism spectrum disorders and intellectual disability. Statisti-cal data processing using correlation and one-factor analysis of variance has been carried out. It has been found that the level of adaptive skills (everyday life skills and socialization) in adolescents with autism spectrum disorders and mental retardation is correlated with the level of verbal intelligence. The degree of development of adaptive communication skills depends on the level of general intelligence. A decrease in the level of verbal intelligence corresponds to a greater number of disorders in the work of all brain blocks according to A.R. Luria, general intelligence – II brain block. The degree to which a teenager learns socialization skills depends on the class of sensorimotor reactions.

Description and comparison of fault detection algorithms based on a selected building automation device
Authors: Włostowska Sandra , Kawa Bartłomiej , Borkowski Piotr
Published: January 2025

The article compares selected classification algorithms and those dedicated to anomaly detection. The models used temperature measurements in four rooms simulated in the Matlab Simscape environment as test signals. The empirical part of the work consists of two parts. In the first one, an example data from the simulated building heating model object, models were built using unsupervised and supervised machine learning algorithms. Then, data from the facility was collected again with changed parameters (failures occurred at times other than the test ones, and the temperature patterns differed from those recorded and used to train the models). The algorithms' effects and test signals (temperature changes) were saved in the database. The obtained results were presented graphically in the Grafana program. The second part of the work presents a solution in which the analysis of the operating status of the heating system takes place in real time. Using an OPC server, data was exchanged between the Matlab environment and the database installed on a virtual machine in the Ubuntu system. The conclusions present the results and collect the authors' suggestions regarding the practical applications of the discussed classification models.
Unravelling the Role of Digital Partnering in Successful Construction Digitalisation – An Empirical Investigation

Published: January 2025

This study explores the concept of digital partnering among construction organisations, focusing on the essential factors that contribute to successful partnerships and their impact on achieving digital transformation. To gather quantitative data, a survey was conducted with construction professionals engaged in projects throughout South Africa. The data analysis employed a comprehensive six-step methodology, including mean item scoring, Kruskal- Wallis H-Test, exploratory factor analysis (EFA), and multiple linear regression (MLR). The findings from the EFA indicated that the effectiveness of digital partnering hinges on three critical elements: a supportive partnering environment, trust and mutual understanding, and management support. The MLR analysis further validated these factors as crucial for attaining digitally transformed construction organisations. Given the competitive and often adversarial nature of the construction industry in developing countries like South Africa, the study recommends that organisations pursue collaborative partnerships both within and outside the industry to facilitate digital transformation. This can be achieved by fostering an environment that nurtures trust, understanding, and strong management support for developing digital capabilities through collaboration. The study offers empirical insights into the key factors necessary for successful digital partnering, an area that has been largely overlooked in discussions surrounding construction digitalisation.

This research discusses the fundamental principles of the Muqaddimah Qanun Asasi from the perspective of Hadratussyaikh KH. M. Hasyim Asy'ari, the founder of Nahdlatul Ulama (NU). This study employs a library research methodology with a descriptive-analytical approach, combining the analysis of various primary and secondary sources. The findings show that Hadratussyaikh emphasized the importance of unity among the ummah, the role of ulama as the chain of Ahlus Sunnah wal Jama'ah, mutual assistance, enjoining good and forbidding evil (amar ma'ruf nahi munkar), and prayers for the safety of the ummah, all while considering the socio-historical context, comprehensive methods of interpretation, and education. These principles not only serve as normative guidelines but also as a foundation for building a just, harmonious, and civilized society in accordance with moderate and inclusive Islamic values.
