Effectiveness of Paracetamol in Treating Hemodynamically Significant Patent Ductus Arteriosus in Preterm Newborns
Authors: Kumari Babita , Prasad Shatrughan , Kumar Jitendra
Published: January 2025

Background: Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) is a common condition in preterm infants, often requiring medical intervention for closure. Traditional treatments such as indomethacin and ibuprofen are associated with adverse effects, prompting the exploration of alternative therapies. Paracetamol (acetaminophen) has emerged as a potential alternative with a favorable safety profile, but its efficacy in preterm infants remains under investigation.
Aim: The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of paracetamol in the management of hemodynamically significant PDA in preterm newborns, focusing on ductal closure rates, respiratory improvement, and the need for further interventions.
Methods: This prospective observational study was conducted at Jawaharlal Nehru Medical College & Hospital, enrolling 50 preterm infants diagnosed with hemodynamically significant PDA. Paracetamol (15 mg/kg iv every 6 hours) was administered for 120 hours. Clinical outcomes, including PDA closure, respiratory status, and the need for additional treatments, were monitored. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 23.0.
Results: Out of 50 infants, 35 (70%) achieved complete PDA closure after 120 hours of paracetamol therapy. Respiratory improvement was observed in 28 (56%) infants, with a reduction in oxygen requirements. The mean duration of paracetamol treatment was 4.8 ± 0.9 days, and the mean NICU stay was 14.3 ± 3.2 days. No severe adverse events were noted, though 3 (6%) infants experienced mild transient liver enzyme elevation.
Conclusion: Paracetamol was found to be an effective treatment for PDA in preterm infants, with high closure rates and a favorable safety profile compared to traditional treatments. It may serve as a viable alternative to indomethacin or surgical ligation in managing PDA.
Recommendations: Paracetamol should be considered as a first-line pharmacological treatment for PDA in preterm infants, particularly in cases where traditional treatments are contraindicated or carry a high risk of adverse effects. Further studies with larger cohorts are needed to confirm these findings and assess long-term outcomes.
Keywords: Paracetamol, Patent Ductus Arteriosus, Preterm Infants, Pharmacological Treatment, Neonatal Care.
Astronomical Observatories in Thrace: Archaeoastronomical Data as Indication of Ancient Sun-Related Spiritual Practices (3rd-1st millennia BC)
Authors: Bondzhev Asen
Published: January 2025

In the past rock-cut monuments were used for horizon or meridional observations of solstices and equinoxes. This study focuses on three of the better studied through the means of archaeoastronomy monuments in Thrace – Tangardak kaya, Harman kaya and Zaychi vrah (Cabyle). The additional carvings of Tangadak kaya womb-cave suggest that it was used not simply for Sun-observation, but also for ancient Sun-related spiritual practices during the winter solstice. Similar practices were used two millennia later in the Golyama Arsenalka Thracian Tomb’s domed chamber, which shows that in Thrace there was a millennial continuity of ancient spiritual beliefs.
Reasons for accelerating inflation in the Russian economy
Authors: Drobyshevsky S. M. , Perevyshin Yu. N. , Sinelnikov-Murylev S. G. , Trunin P. V.
Published: January 2025

The article shows that the increase in inflation in 2020—2024 is associated with the acceleration of the growth rate of the money supply. The main contribution to the growth of the monetary base was made by transactions with the National Wealth Fund, which were not sterilized. Following this, there was an acceleration in the growth rate of lending, supported by preferential programs and a decrease in the required reserve ratio, which was reflected in an increase in the credit multiplier. Accelerated growth in the money supply led to an increase in the growth rate of consumer prices. The current phase of the economic cycle, together with the labor shortage, is increasing inflationary pressure. Inflation growth could have been even greater if not for the increased demand for real cash balances and high rates of real GDP growth in 2023—2024. Along with a tight monetary policy, additional measures to reduce inflation may include slower indexation of regulated prices and excise rates; limiting the growth rate of the consumer and auto loan portfolio of commercial banks; increasing reserve requirements for them.

Published: January 2025

Addressing the issue of fully meeting consumer market needs significantly depends on expanding and increasing the supply of domestic cucumber cultivars. Production can be enhanced by increasing diversity and productivity through plant breeding. Evaluation of genotypic and phenotypic parameters plays a crucial role in breeding work. The study aims to assess genetic variability, heritability of yield traits and their components in cucumber genotypes, and identify the most productive forms with high yield potential in open field conditions. Methods The study was conducted during 2021-2024 at the Institute of Vegetable and Melon Growing of NAAS, located in the central moderately humid region of Kharkiv Oblast under open field conditions. Eighteen breeding cucumber genotypes were studied. Results The results showed that the phenotypic coefficient of variation (PCV) exceeded the corresponding values of the genotypic coefficient of variation (GCV). The highest PCV (37.9%) and GCV (19.3%) were observed for yield in the first decade of fruiting. Heritability (h²(b)) remained low for all traits except for the "seedling-to-fruiting" period (50%). The highest genetic progress in percentage (GAPM) was found for yield in the first decade of fruiting (6.58%). Correlation analysis revealed a strong positive relationship between total yield and marketable yield (r = 0.950) and a moderate correlation with yield in the first decade of fruiting (r = 0.522). A negative correlation was established between total yield and the durations of the "seedling-to-flowering" (r = -0.402) and "seedling-to-fruiting" (r = -0.407) periods. Cluster analysis identified four clusters within the studied cucumber breeding genotypes: Cluster I (3 samples): Dzherelo St, F5I3 4097, F11I6 (F1 Denyok / F3I3 D96a No2-95). Cluster II (3 samples): F8I6 Holub (self-pollinating), Holubchyk, F9I3 Pavlyk. Cluster III (5 samples): F8I7 Kuzya (open-pollinated), F8I4 Holan hybrid, F5I1 Octopus, Semkros, CS No55 F5I3 Marinda. Cluster IV (7 samples): CS No59 F5I3 Kibria, CS No57 F9I2 Asterix, CS No57 F5I2 Asterix (2), CS No54 F3I2 Karaoke, F3I1 Chechel, F15I12 Toma-18, CS No56 F5I2 Amur. Conclusions The study demonstrated the potential of breeding for the "yield in the first decade of fruiting" trait due to high genetic progress. Cluster analysis revealed significant differences between genotype groups, confirming their high potential for use in breeding programs.

Authors: Michael Michael
Published: January 2025

Arnold-Chiari (AC) disease in children is a complex congenital condition requiring multidisciplinary management. Surgical intervention is often necessary to correct affected anatomy and alleviate symptoms, yet post-surgical management is also crucial. This literature review aims to investigate surgical approaches and post-surgical management of AC in children, as well as identify remaining knowledge gaps. Literature search was systematically conducted through PubMed using relevant keywords. Inclusion criteria encompassed studies within the past 15 years pertaining to pediatric neurosurgery and Chiari. The literature review identified 6 relevant studies highlighting the importance of intraoperative electrophysiological monitoring, comparison of outcomes between posterior decompression with and without duraplasty, correlation of CSF flow with surgical outcomes, post-operative pain management, and indications for syringosubarachnoid shunt placement. Surgical intervention for AC in children is a critical step, yet meticulous post-surgical management is required. Studies highlight knowledge gaps regarding long-term effects of intraoperative monitoring techniques, outcome comparisons between surgical procedures, the relationship between CSF flow and surgical outcomes, and post-operative pain management. Cross-disciplinary collaboration and emphasis on a holistic approach are necessary to enhance understanding and care of AC in children.

Published: January 2025

Premature birth is defined as the birth of a baby before 37 weeks gestation. Kangaroo Mother Care (KMC) is a care technique, particularly beneficial for premature infants, that emphasizes skin-to-skin contact between the mother and her baby, but some beliefs may restrict physical contact with newborns or dictate other types of care that do not involve close, continuous contact. Research shows that KMC significantly reduce the number of neonatal deaths, preventing hypothermia, reducing the occurrence of infections, increasing baby growth and development, increasing breastfeeding and bonding between mother and baby. Therefore, it is important to educate healthcare workers and mothers the importance of Kangaroo Mother Care.

Anterior cervical disectomy and autograft fusion (ACDF) is the gold standard of surgical treatment for HNP cervical. However, donor site complication has found in the form of pain that could lead to disability. The edge of the donor site defect can initiate pain which can reduce the patient’s quality of life. High ambulation can be earned by smoothing the donor site defect. The purpose of this study is to determine the quality of patient rehabilitation after following ACDF with autograft between smoothing group and non-smoothing group. This cross-sectional study was conducted at the Adenin Adenan Hospital Medan. Patients who had undergone ACDF with autograft in the period of 2015-2020 were assessed for their disability at the first, third, and sixth months postoperatively using Barthel Index. The total sampling method is used with inclusion and exclusion criteria. There were 41 respondents in this study, 20 people in the non-smoothing group and 21 people in the smoothing group. The disability experienced by the smoothing group was less than the non-smoothing group at each month of measurement, but only significant (p<0,05) at the sixth month. Both groups experienced a good rehabilitation process, but the rehabilitation outcomes of the smoothing group were better than the non-smoothing group. Conclusions of this study was disability and rehabilitation outcomes in the smoothing group were better than in non-smoothing group.

Published: January 2025

The full-scale russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022 caused severe disruptions in supply chains. The destruction of infrastructure, the blocking of important trade routes, as well as the restriction of access to seaports have significantly affected the stability of the supply of goods, and as a result, led to a deterioration in economic and food security. Optimization of transportation routes is one of the important elements of minimizing the consequences of the ongoing military invasion, as routes significantly affect the efficiency of the entire supply chain. Reducing distances, choosing alternative routes and taking into account risks not only reduce transportation costs, but also contribute to maintaining the stability of the supply of goods even in difficult conditions. The study analyzes modern methods of optimizing transportation routes in emergency situations, such as pandemics or natural disasters, and identifies the possibilities of their adaptation to wartime conditions. A modified objective of a traveling salesman is proposed, taking into account risks. Methods of normalization and aggregation of risks are used, which allow them to be included in the target function of the objective. A genetic algorithm was chosen to solve the objective, as it allows you to quickly find effective solutions and adapt to changes in real time, which is critically important in a changing environment. The steps for solving the traveling salesman objective using the genetic algorithm are described, certain aspects of the algorithm that are inherent in the specifics of the objective are detailed, in particular, the procedure for forming the initial population, the calculation of the fittingness function. The uniqueness of the article lies in the adaptation of the classic objective of a traveling salesman to the conditions of wartime and the use of a genetic algorithm to solve it, taking into account risk factors. In particular, an approach to the formation of the initial population of chromosomes is proposed and a method for calculating the fittingness function for encoding by real numbers is detailed. In further research, it is advisable to focus on improving the algorithm by adjusting the methods of crossing, mutation, selection, population size change, as well as developing more efficient procedures for returning chromosomes to the area of acceptable solutions to increase the efficiency of the algorithm in wartime.
Study on the Translation of Four-Character Structures in Tao Hua Yuan Ji from the Perspective of Embodied-Cognitive Linguistics
Authors: Zhou Yu
Published: January 2025

Tao Hua Yuan Ji, as a representative prose of ancient Jiangxi literature, its English translation has attracted much attention from Chinese academia. There are single translation version research and comparative studies of multiple versions all with different perspectives, but little attention is paid to the version of American Sinologist Hightower. The rich expressions of four-character structures is one of the noticeable features of the original text of Tao Hua Yuan Ji, but at present, there lacks study of its English translation, especially in-depth cognitive analysis. Therefore, starting from the Embodied-Cognitive Linguistics, guided by its kernel principle “Reality-Cognition-language”, this paper explores the choices of Hightower’s translation of four-character structures from the three levels of language, cognition and reality, and analyzes the translation-induced cognitive processes and their pragmatic effects when the rendition takes place on different levels. It is found that among the 33 four-character structures in the original text, Hightower chose 23 on the level of language, mainly using complete literal translation and the method of combining literal and liberal translation, and 10 on the levels of cognition and reality, adopting complete liberal translation and contextual liberal translation. Hightower’s three-level choices of the translation of the four-character structures in Tao Hua Yuan Ji reflects the cognitive bases of embodied-cognition, namely universality, distinctness and deficiency.
Effect of interbank deposit funding on the financial performance of deposit money banks in Nigeria
Authors: Ilesanmi Akande Folorunso , Omowunmi Akande Comfort , Ifeanyi Ogbebor Peter
Published: January 2025

Failures of banking institutions have been an ongoing concern in the international banking system often leading to large economic downturns. It is concerning how quickly banks might experience liquidity crises especially when monetary policy is loose and credit is liberal.  The speed at which companies experience downturns is worrying although bank failures are not a novel occurrence.  Therefore, this study examined how   interbank deposit funding influences the financial performance of Deposit Money Banks (DMBs) in Nigeria using dynamic panel analysis of fully modified ordinary least square from 2011-2021. Ten deposit money banks were used. The results indicate that IBR does not have a significant impact on ROE suggesting that the source of funding through interbank deposits does not significantly influence the profitability of DMBs in Nigeria. However, other factors such as Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR), Gross Domestic Product (GDP), and Firms Age (FAG) have significant effects on ROE. The study highlights the importance of considering multiple factors beyond just funding sources when assessing the financial performance of banks in Nigeria. The study recommended that DMBs should diversify their funding sources. This can include increasing efforts to attract customer deposits, exploring alternative funding mechanisms and reducing reliance on interbank deposits. Diversification can help mitigate funding risks and enhance profitability.
About some aspects of asymptotic complexity assessment of computing algorithms
Authors: Potapenko Serhii
Published: January 2025

Asymptotic evaluation of mathematical functions is a method of simplified description of determining the limit values of their behavior. To estimate the number of iterations or steps of execution of algorithms, an approximate estimation of the upper limit of the values of the corresponding characteristics of the algorithms is most often used. In this publication, it is proposed to consider the process of analytical determination of majorants according to the changed scheme. The application of the specified scheme will make it possible to increase the accuracy and justification of the analytical form of the determined majorants. A system of one lemma and twelve theorems is proposed to describe the mathematical apparatus for asymptotic assessment of the complexity of computational algorithms. As an example of application, an asymptotic assessment of the complexity of some computational algorithms was performed. the article defines the lemma on the presence of many majorants, the theorem on the complexity of a constant calculation, the theorem on the degree dependence of the complexity of a calculation, the theorem on the addition of a constant to the number of calculations, the theorem on the multiplicity of the complexity of calculations, the theorem on the transitivity of the complexity of calculations, the theorem on the addition of the volumes of calculations, the theorem on addition of calculation complexity, theorem on addition of constant calculation complexity, theorem on multiplication of calculation complexity, theorem on polynomial calculation complexity, theorem on exponential-polynomial calculation complexity, theorem on logarithmic calculation complexity. The considered material clearly demonstrates the practical features of determining majorants according to the changed scheme and shows its practical significance. The given examples of determining the computational complexity of some known algorithms can be used as a basis for determining the computational complexity of other algorithms. In addition, the given system of theorems can be extended and applied to evaluate the complex application of algorithms that complement or are parts of each other.
Features of information law in the context of artificial intelligence

Published: January 2025

A large amount of written, graphic, audio and video information is distributed thanks to the wide availability of inexpensive and free tools that generate artificial intelligence. Much of the content generated by artificial intelligence systems may be harmless or even useful to some audiences. However, these platforms also facilitate the distribution of extremely dangerous material. For example, provocative, dangerous, biased, inaccurate or misleading material can and will be disseminated using generative artificial intelligence techniques. The article presents an analysis of the opinions of specialists and scientists on the existing aspects of the interaction of information law and artificial intelligence, the identification of future ethical problems and challenges, and the search for rational legal solutions. Effective legislation that would ensure the protection of human rights and freedoms while reducing the risks associated with the use of artificial intelligence is vital. The law on the application of artificial intelligence should have several key components, which are based on clearly defined criteria.
La pesca de la tonyina ("Thunnus thynnus") al litoral català a l’antiguitat: el cas de la vil·la romana del Pla de Palol (Platja d’Aro, Baix Empordà)

La pesca de la tonyina (Thunnus thynnus) durant l’antiguitat constituí un dels elements principals de les activitats halièutiques al Mediterrani. Això no obstant, les evidències ictioarqueològiques sobre la pesca d’aquest escòmbrid durant l’antiguitat al litoral del nord‑est peninsular són escasses i poc estudiades en comparació a altres zones del Mediterrani occidental (p. ex. Estret de Gibraltar, Sicília). L’estudi d’un petit conjunt ictiofaunístic de tonyina recuperat a la vil·la romana del Pla de Palol (Platja d’Aro, Baix Empordà) durant les campanyes de 1998 i 1999 ha permès plantejar unes primeres hipòtesis sobre la pesca d’aquesta espècie en aquest moment. Els resultats indiquen que les tonyines pescades a la vil·la de Pla de Palol es tractarien d’individus subadults, probablement pescats en una àrea pròxima a la costa per ser consumits a la vil·la. Així i tot, considerant el biaix dels mètodes de recuperació utilitzats, la tonyina seria una espècie sobrerepresentada en el registre ictioarqueològic amb comparació a altres espècies. Per aquesta raó pensem que les activitats halièutiques a la vil·la Pla de Palol i al llarg del litoral del nord‑est peninsular haurien estat molt més diversificades i la tonyina probablement hauria jugat un paper menys rellevant del que podríem pensar.
A la recerca de l’autarquia. L’aprofitament integral del medi a través del registre arqueològic. L’exemple del nord‑est

Published: January 2025

Aquest treball pretén presentar una síntesi posada al dia i la més àmplia possible de l’activitat global i no, només, agrícola i ramadera, dels establiments rurals dels territoria de les antigues cuitates romanes que ocuparen el sector nord‑oriental del conuentus tarraconensis de la província Hispània Citerior, entre la baixa república i el baix imperi. Una anàlisi detallada en permet fer‑nos una idea del món físic on es vivia i de les activitats de tota mena que s’hi desenvolupaven. Aquesta enquesta permet aprofundir en la complexitat del món a pagès i de la voluntat d’esdevenir autàrquics, una aspiració inassolible, però que tots els propietaris intentaren aconseguir.

Is the Rule-Based Order in AI Dead, or is Still Kicking?
Authors:   Cyber Security Research Centre – London Metropolitan University, UK and GATE Institute -Sofia University, Bulgaria, Vassilev Vassil
Published: January 2025

This article focuses on the possibility of revival of the classical rule-based approach in AI for building heterogeneous AI
systems. It is based on personal experience while working on several research and innovation projects in diverse areas
- business process management, unauthorized intrusion detection, malicious interference protection, digital forensics and
diagnostics, data management, etc. Despite their differences, all these areas share something in common: they require
multiple operations to be executed in a single transaction and incorporate heuristic rules for different purposes, related to
data, knowledge, and operation management. The position of this article is that combining the classical rulebased approach
from the early days of AI with more recent developments in AI, such as data-focused machine learning and utility-based
reinforcement learning, as well as utilization of the recent technological developments on the cloud and at data centers can
be beneficial for widening the realworld application of AI. The challenges, which this complexity creates require joined efforts
of academic researchers, industrial engineers, and business enablers. Collaboration between them across the board can be
highly beneficial and the author is looking for opportunities in this direction.

An Explorative Study on Office Going Bicycle Users of Dhaka City
Authors: Shioma Shefa Arabia , Tokey Ahmad Ilderim , Akther Mohammad Shakil
Published: January 2025

With age old practice of using bicycle in rural areas of Bangladesh, bicycle has been evolved as a transport option for urban dwellers. It has been used for recreational and non-recreational purposes, like commuting, shopping etc. This number is growing day by day. Studying cyclists’ socio-demographic and economic profile is important to identify the groups inclined to use cycle for commuting. This paper discusses about the socioeconomic characteristics and problems of office going bicycle users in Dhaka city. For this study, six commercial areas of Dhaka city (Motijheel, Old Dhaka, Gulshan-Banani, Karwan Bazar, Mohakhali and Mirpur) are selected as study area. With 95% confidence interval 300 respondents were surveyed. Cyclists are mainly from low and medium income groups with an average age 28. After 2009, the number of cyclists got drastic increase, particularly high income groups are found more interested. Safety issue, parking space scarcity and not having bicycle lane are the highest complained problems of cyclists. This study provides a ground of baseline data for future researchers as there is no previous study done on this topic.
