The influence of dynamically changing habits associated with the use of digital devices (DD) on the child’s brain is one of the most topical issues of the last decade. Ambiguous or contradictory data on this issue indicate the need of systematizing all the results of scientific research. This analysis shows negative effect of large amount of screen time on the development of children at early age, their academic performance, and attention at older ages due to media absenteeism, as well as the correlation between the use of digital devices with delayed reward. It is necessary to update and to conduct qualitative research to understand the issue in more comprehensive way.

Published: January 2022

Introduction: To evaluate the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on patients admitted to the pediatric emergency department and operated with the diagnosis of acute appendicitis in the pediatric surgery clinic.
Metods: Files of patients who underwent appendectomy in the pediatric surgery clinic of Health Sciences University Adana City Training and Research Hospital between 16 March-16May 2019 and 16 March-16 May 2020 were retrospectively analyzed and divided into two groups respectively.
Results: In the study, 95 patients in Group-1 (5.1% 95/1851) and 83 patients in Group-2 (11.5% 83/724) was operated for acute appendicitis. There was a significant difference between the two groups in terms of the number of patients who underwent appendectomy (p=0.001). A statistically significant difference was not found between the two groups when age, gender, duration of admission to hospital, preoperative laboratory values and duration of hospitalizasyon were compared. Perforated appendicitis was detected in 9 (9.5%) of the patients who underwent appendectomy in Group-1 and in 13 (15.7%) of the patients in Group-2 and it was not statistically significant (p=0.007). The mean size of appendix of the surgical pathology specimens was found to be 8.98±3.12 mm in Group-1 and 10.3±3.43 mm in Group-2 (p=0.007).
Conclusion: Although the number of applications to pediatric emergency services decreased during the pandemic period, there was no decrease in the number of patients operated on due to appendicitis. In addition, it was found that the rate of perforated appendicitis increased. For this reason, it should be considered that the situations requiring emergency surgery do not decrease with the epidemic.
Retrospective assesment of spleen injuries in children: Ten years of experience in a single center
Authors: UYSAL Mehmet
Published: January 2022

Objective: We aimed to assess the causes of trauma that result in spleen and accompanying organ injuries, management types, and results of management in children referred to our clinic for spleen injuries in the last ten years.
Material and Method: The reports of 76 (56 boys,20 girls) patients managed for spleen injuries owing to blunt abdominal trauma between June 2011 and May 2021 were reviewed retrospectively.
Results: The patients were aged between 2-17 (8.7±5.4) years old; 56 (73.7%) were boys and 20 (26.3%) were girls. Causes of injuries included accidents involving a motorized vehicle (37,48.7%), falls from height (21, 27.6%), sports/bumping into obstacles (14,18.3%), a crash object in the abdomen (3,3,9%), kick from a horse 1(1.3%). Isolated spleen injury was present in 42 patients (55.3%), while 34 patients (44.7%) had other organ injuries. Spleen injuries were grade I in 9 patients (11.8%), grade II in 18 (23.7.%), grade III in 27 (35.6%), grade IV in 19 (25%), and grade V in 3 (3.9%). Splenectomy was performed in three patients (3.9%) owing to hemodynamic instability and small intestine repair owing to a small intestine injury in two patients (2.6%). None of these patients died from splenic injuries, but one of our patients died from brain injury while in nonoperative treatment.
Conclusion: Conservative treatment methods should be chosen in patients with a spleen injury who are hemodynamically stable. The shorter duration of hospital stay, less blood transfusion requirement, and lower morbidity, mortality percentages are indispensable reasons for this method to be preferred. The probability of other organ injuries should be thought of besides splenic trauma.

The purpose of this study was to examine if there is a connection between anger, aggression, and problem-solving abilities in secondary school students. The study's sample includes 273 students enrolled in secondary schools in Manisa for the 2020-2021 academic year. The convenience sampling method, which is one of the non-random sampling methods, was used to determine the study's sample. The data for the study was collected using the Anger Scale for Children, the Aggression Scale, and the Problem-Solving Inventory for Children. The t-test, Spearman Correlation analysis, and multiple regression analysis were conducted to analyse the data. Looking at the data, it was determined that the anger levels of female students were higher than those of male students. The aggression levels of male students are higher than female students. It was discovered that anger and aggression have a positive relationship, whereas anger levels have a negative relationship with self-control, avoidance, and total problem solving. Another outcome of the study is that problem-solving abilities predict anger and aggression. A negative association was shown between problem solving, anger, and agression among students.

Authors: AYAZ Ayşe , TOMAR İsmail Hakkı , CAN Gürhan , SATICI Seydi Ahmet
Published: January 2022

The present study examined the mediating role of motivation in the association between autonomy support and children's school attachment. The study participants consisted of 437 primary school students (232 girls and 205 boys) selected from six schools in a province located in Turkey's southeast region. A hypothesized model was developed and tested by structural equation modeling on cross-sectional data. The data were collected via The School Attachment Scale for Children and Adolescents, The Scale for Motivation in Education, and The Short Form of the Learning Climate Scale. The results indicated that autonomy support had an indirect effect on school attachment through internal motivation. Contrary to these findings, it has been determined that neither identified external motivation nor introjected external motivation affected attachment to the school's directly and indirectly.

Authors: Filosofova T. G.
Published: January 2022

It is shown that active processes of digitalization and development of creative industries form new trends of the world economy development. Possession of the right to use IP, in particular the results of the latest scientific research and technological developments (especially in the field of artificial intelligence, the Internet of things, blockchain, processing large databases, quantum computing systems, cloud technologies, etc.) significantly expands the capabilities of the owner of IP rights in world economy, its participation in global value chains. Intellectual property is becoming not only the main instrument of socio-economic development, but also the center of global technological confrontation and a fierce struggle for the right to own it, a significant factor of success in geoeconomic competition. The main long-term trend in the development of world IP markets is the dynamic growth of the volume of commercial transactions with goods and services containing IP objects with a significant expansion of the range of the latter. The IP market is growing at a rate exceeding the rate of growth of “material” markets. The countryleader in the number of valid patents for a long period is the United States. The main competitor for the United States is China. Among the main technological trends, the development of the IP market in terms of assistive technologies should be highlighted, which allow producing products according to digital description anywhere in the world. A large share of the IP markets is occupied by trade in licenses. It is shown that for the further successful and effective development of IP markets, it is necessary to take into account the prospects for the functioning of IP markets and the movement of goods containing IP objects in a new technological order.

Justification for using resourcesaving banding technology in renovative production
Authors: Kolotyrin K. P. , Bogatyrev S. A. , Savon D. Yu.
Published: January 2022

The article substantiates the expediency of applying the basics of resource saving in the development of innovative technologies for strengthening serial parts and restoring worn ones. At the same time, the main task is the rational use of available material resources in the conditions of a decline in production, when it becomes profitable to restore metal-intensive parts worn out to a critical level. In capital repair of machines, the main problems are associated with the energy intensity of the process and a significant number of rejected parts that cannot be restored. Currently, most of the worn-out metal-intensive cast iron and steel body parts that have exhausted the resource are subjected to energy-intensive melting. For the reuse of metal-consuming parts in operation, a technology has been proposed for multilayer banding of a worn surface, in which steel tape is used instead of traditional banding rings. Winding the tape occurs under an interference in several layers. In this case, a multilayer bandage with interturn stresses is formed, which is not inferior in strength to a whole banding ring. The use of a steel “bandage” for the “treatment” of parts reduces the metal consumption for its manufacture by 2.5 times in comparison with the well-known one-piece ring made of round steel. As an example, the article substantiates the possibility of carrying out the banding process in relation to the restoration and strengthening of the seat under the bearing of the housing part. A multilayer bandage can also be used in the recovery of metal-intensive rolling rolls written off in scrap used on broadband cold rolling mills.

Authors: Kuvshinov M. S. , Vinogradova T. A.
Published: January 2022

Development and implementation of innovation is one of the means of providing competitive advantages for a business in a market economy. Innovative activity of a company ought to be expedient from the economic viewpoint and result in reduction of costs and maximizing the profitability of the company’s activity in the long-term perspective. One of essential factors of economic effectiveness of innovation is innovation-active personnel able to generate ideas and quickly adapt to changes, willing and motivated to participate in implementing innovation strategy of the company’s development. Not all employees a priori possess such features, and therefore the company ought to develop and take measures to facilitate their innovative activity. The article introduces the method of material incentives for innovative activity of the personnel suggested by the authors. The method is based on adapting a well-known system of key productivity indicators to innovative activity of a company. Personnel of the company is divided into three categories of employees according to their roles in realization of the organization’s innovative policy, and the authors defined a set of four or five key productivity indicators of their activity for each category. The authors defined a range of quantitative interpretation of the achievable result for each indicator. They suggested a mechanism for calculating the total amount of the incentive bonus which takes into account key performance indicators coefficients of innovative productivity and their value, the size of the bonus wage fund for the employee, the employee’s affiliation to one of the personnel categories established, the number of rewarded employees and the frequency of premium payments. Implementation of the suggested mechanism will ensure objective assessment and reward for the contributions made by all the interested employees into innovative development of the company increasing effectiveness of the production.
Modeling and forecasting the influence of social infrastructure development of interregional migration in Russia
Authors: Nizamutdinov M. M. , Oreshnikov V. V.
Published: January 2022

At present demographic development of Russia and its regions is one of the most important factors of the country’s economic growth and also is key priority of the state government system. In spite of that, the issues of interregional migration are poorly represented in the strategic planning documents both at the federal and regional level. The major migration-induced population growth can be observed in the federal cities, capital areas and central part of Russia. At the same time in 2019 there was migration loss in 47 subjects of the Russian Federation. In many regions it is combined with the natural population loss aggravating the situation. The emerging closed loop (decreasing attractiveness of the area – migration loss – deteriorating social and economic situation – decreasing attractiveness of the area) results in increasing contradictions. Variety of factors determining the direction and the dynamics of migration flows requires a comprehensive study of these processes. The analysis conducted revealed that the level of development of the territory’s infrastructure is of great significance in this matter. Therefore, this direction is considered to be the main one. For quantification the authors established a complex of individual indicators which were preprocessed and consistently merged into directional integral and later into a single integral indicator of the level of social infrastructure development. Moreover, it is advisable to define five groups of regions according to the degree of their potential’s realization and to consider the affiliation of the subject of the federation to a particular group as an additional factor. Thus, the authors obtained the regression equation which describes the interrelation between the parameters under study. ANOVA revealed the opportunity of its practical application. Based on this model, a scenario forecast for the development of social infrastructure in Russia and its regions has been formed.

Published: January 2022

Research background. Baranjski kulen is one of the most popular fermented meat sausages originating from Croatia. It has protected geographical indication, and is traditionally produced in the Baranja region of Croatia. Kulenova seka is a fermented sausage very similar to baranjski kulen, but it has a different calibre and consequently, a shorter time of production. In recent decades, due to the high demand and popularity of these products, industrially produced baranjski kulen and kulenova seka have become available on the market. This work aims to identify specific characteristics of traditional and industrial sausages baranjski kulen and kulenova seka on proteome, peptidome and metabolome level, which could potentially lead to better optimization of the industrial production process in order to obtain an equivalent to the traditional product.
Experimental approach. Protein profiles of baranjski kulen and kulenova seka (traditional and industrial) were analysed using two-dimensional gel electrophoresis followed by differential display analysis and protein identification by mass spectrometry. Peptidomic profile was analysed via liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. Furthermore, aroma profiles were investigated via headspace solid phase microextraction and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry.
Results and conclusions. The major identified characteristics of each product were: industrial baranjski kulen: specific degradation of myosin-1 and titin, overabundance of stress-related proteins and increased phenylalanine degradation; traditional baranjski kulen: decreased concentration of phenylalanine and overabundance of fructose-bisphosphate aldolase A and carbonic anhydrase 3; industrial kulenova seka – specific myosin-4 and haemoglobin subunit alpha degradation process; traditional kulenova seka – overabundance of dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase [NADP(+)] and myosin light chain 1/3, skeletal muscle isoform, degradation of albumin and myoglobin, decreased concentrations of almost all free amino acids and increased amounts of smoke-derived volatile compounds. Presented results showed that potential product type-specific quality markers for each sausage could be found.
Novelty and scientific contribution. In this preliminary communication, the first insights into protein degradation processes and generation of peptides, free amino acids and aroma compounds of industrial and traditional baranjski kulen and kulenova seka are presented. Although further research is needed to draw general conclusions, the specific profile of proteins, peptides, amino acids and volatile compounds represents the first step in the industrial production of sausages that meet the characteristics of traditional flavour.

La originalidad y relevancia científica del trabajo se destaca en la medida en que las investigaciones específicas de cuantificación del confort que se relacionan simultáneamente con las variaciones urbanas en el entorno térmico y acústico en espacios abiertos son incipientes. El método utilizado es inductivo experimental, mediante levantamientos de diferentes ambientes térmicos y sonoros y variables subjetivas, sustentado en un método deductivo computacional, realizando simulaciones de modelos predictivos, mediante índices de confort. Las encuestas se realizaron con poblaciones heterogéneas en diferentes situaciones urbanas reales de la ciudad de São Paulo, cubriendo diferentes condiciones térmicas y acústicas en veinte localidades de ocho regiones diferentes en varios días representativos de verano e invierno, totalizando la aplicación de aproximadamente 6500 cuestionarios válidos. Los resultados se basan en la relación entre la temperatura equivalente percibida, el nivel de presión sonora equivalente y el porcentaje de personas en confort. Así, se establecieron rangos de intervalo de las dos primeras variables en relación a los porcentajes de la tercera, permitiendo verificar las situaciones en las que se brinda confort térmico y acústico de manera integrada en los espacios abiertos de la ciudad de São Paulo.

Este artículo presenta reflexiones sobre la naturaleza del Estado, la formación del Estado de Bienestar, el carácter de las políticas públicas de vivienda generadas por ellos y sus implicaciones en el proceso de urbanización de las ciudades brasileñas. El objetivo principal es crear una relación conceptual entre los cuatro factores mencionados, con el fin de plantear otra perspectiva investigativa para los temas relacionados con la vivienda social. Para ello, se utilizó una revisión bibliográfica sobre estos conceptos, utilizando publicaciones de reconocidos autores, confrontando y contrastando las teorías abordadas, cortejándolas con extractos de la realidad vivida. Como resultado principal, sostenemos, a partir de las exposiciones, que el carácter meritocrático-clientelista del Estado de Bienestar brasileño ha generado históricamente políticas públicas, en general, y específicamente habitacional, políticas excluyentes, que aumentan las desigualdades sociales. Como resultado, el territorio urbano construido a través de iniciativas de vivienda pública refleja estas desigualdades, resonando la vulnerabilidad y la violencia urbanas.

Rational Approach to Children with Drug-Resistant Epilepsy
Authors: Wirrell Elaine
Published: January 2022

Epilepsy is one of the most common neurological disorders to affect children, and has its highest incidence in infancy. Approximately one-quarter of children have seizures which are drug-resistant, and place the child at increased risk of cognitive delays, attention, behavior and psychiatric disorders, injury, sudden unexpected death and poor quality of life. This article presents a rational approach to the investigation and management of children with drug-resistant epilepsy.
Pediatric Autoimmune encephalitis: Experience from a Tertiary Care Hospital in Bangladesh
Authors: Fatema Kanij , Rahman Md Mizanur
Published: January 2022

Background: Autoimmune encephalitis (AIE) are distinct group of encephalitis where production of autoimmune antibody causes neuroinflammation. The core clinical features are encephalopathy, psychiatric disorder, movement disorder and seizure. The investigation and treatment modalities are different from that of infectious encephalitis. There are limited studies in pediatric population in particularly in developing country like Bangladesh. Thus this study has been done to describe patients with AIE from a tertiary care hospital.

Method: This is a retrospective study done in children of 1-16 year from January 2018 to December 2019. AIE was diagnosed on the basis of clinical, electrographic and neuroimaging features and was confirmed with detection of autoantibody in CSF. Treatment was given according to the published literature with immunotherapy mainly.

Results: Total 15 children were studied, 14 patients were antiNMDAR encephalitis and 1 was antiMOG antibody syndrome. Mean age was 5.98 and 4.5 year respectively. Seizure was the most common clinical feature, mostly focal in nature. Other manifestations were movement disorder, psychiatric disorder, loss of consciousness etc. Most of the patients had abnormal EE, focal epileptic discharge being the commonest. Eight out of 15 had abnormal MRI of brain. Cortical  hyperintensity was important feature located mostly in temporal region. In the case of antiMOG antibody syndrome there was demyelinating lesion in multiple areas. Cornerstone of the treatment was mostly combination immunotherapy with IV methylprednisolone and IV immunoglobulin followed by oral steroid. Majority of the patients showed improvement however 3 patients had complete recovery. Complications observed were epilepsy, speech disorder, cognitive disorder, behavioural disorder, ataxia and visual impairment.

Conclusion:  Timely diagnosis and prompt treatment of AIE is very important as proper treatment can cause significant improvement.
EEG changes and their relationship with intellectual disability in children with autism spectrum disorders in a tertiary care hospital
Authors: Shefa Jannatara , Akhter Shaheen , Mannan Muzharul
Published: January 2022

Background: Autism in children is frequently associated with Intellectual disability (ID) and epilepsy. It is known that lower IQinfluences epilepsy rates; however, electroencephalographic (EEG) findings in different grades of intellectual functioning are less well studied. Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the EEG findings and their association with the degrees of ID in children with autism. Methods: Fifty-two children, diagnosed with autism according to the DSM-IV-TR criteria, aged between 2 to 12 years, were included in the study. Participants were recruited from outpatient clinic in the Institute for Paediatric Neurodisorder and Autism (IPNA) in Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU), Dhaka, Bangladesh. All of them were subjected to physical and neurological examination. Intelligence quotients (IQ) were measured in all the participants. Psychometric tests Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development, Third edition (BSID III) or Weschler Intelligence Scale for Patients-Revised (WISC-R) were used for evaluating IQ. EEG recordings were done in all the participants. Results: The frequency of EEG abnormalities were observed in 51.9% participants. Among these abnormalities, 36.5% were epileptiform and 15.4% were non-epileptiform. Majority of the focal discharges, in this study were from temporal and frontal ((50% and 40% of focal discharge). Among generalized abnormalities, 89% were symmetrical spike-wave complexes. EEG abnormalities were associated with epilepsy in 66.7% of participants. ID was present in 84.6% and of them, 77% had moderate to severe ID. Mild, moderate or severe ID did not show significant association with EEG abnormalities (p>0.05). However, patients with moderate to severe ID (IQ <50) had a higher rate of EEG abnormalities compared to those without ID or mild ID (81.5% versus 18.5%) (P=0.03). Conclusion: Relatively large number of children with autism and ID had EEG abnormalities and there was a significant association with moderate to severe ID (IQ <50) and EEG abnormalities.
Paediatric Acquired Demyelinating Syndromes
Authors: Haddad Ori , Hacohen Yael , Abdel-Mannan Omar
Published: January 2022

Paediatric acquired demyelinating syndromes (ADS) are characterised by neurological deficits persisting for at least 24 hours, involving the optic nerve, spinal cord or brain with a clinical spectrum of diagnoses including multiple sclerosis (MS), neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) and MOG-Ab associated disease (MOGAD). Important strides have been made in delineating MS from other ADS subtypes over the past decade, including the discovery of serum aquaporin-4 (AQP4) and Myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) antibodies (Ab).  Both genetic (e.g. human leukocyte antigen, HLA-DRB1*1501 allele) and environmental risk factors (e.g. low serum vitamin D levels and prior exposure to Epstein–Barr virus) may contribute to risk of MS in children.  Some of these risk factors not only confer increased susceptibility to MS but may also affect the disease course. Paediatric AQP4-Ab NMOSD is a rare disease worldwide but variations in incidence/prevalence have been described among different geographic regions and ethnicities. One-third of children who present with an ADS have MOG-Ab, and approximately half of patients with MOG-Ab have a relapsing disease course. It seems there is no racial or gender predominance in MOGAD, which is in contrast to the female and non-white predominance seen in both MS and NMOSD.‎  In this review, we examine the current literature regarding the epidemiology and demographics of these different ADS entities with a particular focus on the genetic and environmental risk factors for MS in children. While insights into disease pathophysiology in paediatric ADS have led recent therapeutic advances, well designed, collaborative large scale epidemiological studies are likely to provide the critical next step to a personalised approach to these conditions.

Strawberry tree (Arbutus Unedo L.) is one of the evergreen trees that grow spontaneously in Moroccan forests. This tall shrub is traditionally used in grazing zones of some Moroccan areas, especially during the dry season, but its value in Morocco has still been underestimated. In this paper, the nutritional composition of A. unedo leaves sample collected from seven Moroccan regions has been assessed. For this, the leaves were dried, crushed, and chemically analyzed for their proximate composition, energetic value, total and reducing sugar, and mineral composition. Results of this study suggested that samples from BniAarouse (BA) region showed the highest contents of essential nutrients such as proteins, dietary fiber, ashes, and fat with average values of 7.53, 17.89, 4.14, and 8.05 g/ 100 g of dry weight, respectively, which positively influences its consumption by small ruminants. Cluster analysis based on surveyed parameters separated the strawberries individuals into four distinct groups, providing a high variability among and within studied locations. That could be related to the diversity of the edaphoclimatic conditions between regions and to the genetic effect. The results of the present study highlighted the potential use of leaves as livestock feed, with intermediate quality, and promotes their optimal cultivation and subsequent domestication in Morocco.
