Background: Mini-mental State Examination (MMSE) is widely accepted clinically for postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) assessment. This study aims to investigate the post-operative cognitive changes among high-risk cardiothoracic patients and establish a standardised approach to post-surgery cognitive assessment. Methods: This is a prospective cohort study, where cognitive assessments were done 1-day before surgery, at discharge, and during 6 weeks of follow-up. Sample size calculation, accounting for an estimated 20% dropout rate, determined a minimum of 170 subjects were required for the study. Reduction of MMSE score of more than 2.5 was considered as having POCD. Score differences between groups were analysed using T-test and analysis of variance (ANOVA), while consistency between tools was analysed using correlation and regression. Results: A total of 188 patients completed the study, with a POCD prevalence of 20.2% and 6.9% at discharge and at the 6 week follow up, respectively. All cognitive tools show a significant difference between preoperative and postoperative scores. All tests show a significant moderate correlation with MMSE. Conclusions: In conclusion, it is imperative to employ a battery of cognitive assessments to evaluate cognitive changes comprehensively.
FASD: Where we have come from, trends, and future directions
Authors: Price Alan , Allely Clare , Mukherjee Raja AS
Published: August 2024

Fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD) refers to a range of conditions caused by prenatalexposure to alcohol. First described in the 1970s as fetal alcohol syndrome, continuingprogress has been made in the understanding, recognition and treatment of what is nowrecognised to be a range of related neurodevelopmental disorders. FASD is common,especially in countries with higher levels of alcohol consumption such as those in Europeand North America, where the prevalence is estimated to be around 3%. A number ofdiagnostic systems are in operation in different countries, and work is ongoing to develop aninternationally agreed set of diagnostic criteria. People with FASD often have otherdevelopmental, mental and somatic conditions, and there appears to be a high rate oftraumatic and other adverse experiences in this population. People with FASD are atincreased risk of being involved in the criminal justice system, but they may be ill-equippedto successfully navigate it and are likely to provide false confessions, leading to wrongfulconvictions. Some interventions and treatments have been shown to be effective inimproving functioning in children and families affected by FASD, which tend to take the formof coaching, education, advocacy and support. People with FASD have many strengths,which are often overlooked in research. They have been described as skilled musicians,artists and sportspeople with wide vocabularies who are resilient, compassionate, hardworking, and kind. Increasing attention is being paid to FASD but this is not enough. Moreresearch, diagnostic capacity, recognition, understanding, infrastructure and support areneeded across the world.
Commentary on Eskreis-Winkler and Fishbach (2019): A Tendency to Answer Consistently Can Generate Apparent Failures to Learn From Failure
Authors: Spiller Stephen Andrew
Published: August 2024

Recent research proposes failure undermines learning: people learn less from failure (vs. success) because failure is ego-threatening and causes people to tune out. I argue the core paradigm (the Script Task) provides a confounded test of that claim. When people do not learn from test feedback, they may give internally-consistent answers on a subsequent test. The Script Task’s scoring guidelines mark consistent answers as correct following success but incorrect following failure. As a result, differences in performance between conditions may result from equivalent learning combined with consistent responding when people do not learn. A descriptive mathematical model shows lower performance is insufficient to conclude less learning. An experiment (with US MTurk workers) demonstrates a retroactive manipulation without feedback replicates the effect. Because the effect of failure on performance is confounded with consistency, unless consistency is ruled out, the Script Task is not diagnostic regarding whether people learn less from failure.
Pro- and Anti-Science Opinion Model (PASOM) Documentation
Authors: Bainbridge Timothy Francis , Ryan Matthew , Golley Sinead , Kakoschke Naomi , Brindal Emily
Published: August 2024

This document describes the Pro- and Anti-Science Opinions Model (PASOM)—an agent-based model (ABM) of social media activity around a single topic. The topic is one with a true (or likely true) belief (a pro-science belief) and a false (or likely false) belief (an anti-science belief), and agents update their beliefs over the probability of each position being true based on the actions of their connections. The model was designed to examine the potential role of toxic behaviour in social media interactions based on Spiral of Silence Theory predictions and incorporates sanctions and expected sanctions against opposition views, in the form of toxic behaviour. Toxic behaviour can cause agents’ views to be silenced as they attempt to avoid toxic interactions with opposing agents, which may allow agents to be persuaded to change their mind.
THE ROLE OF CIVIC INITIATIVES IN SHAPING THE TERRITORIAL IDENTITY OF RESIDENTS OF METROPOLITAN AGGLOMERATIONS
Authors:   St. Petersburg State University, KALASHNIKOVA S.K. , POGODINA M.YA. ,   St. Petersburg State University
Published: August 2024

State institutions remain key actors in identity politics at both federal and regional levels. Nevertheless, both formal and informal institutions of civil society are becoming increasingly significant in the process of territorial identity formation. The concept of community boundaries can be regarded as a matter of civic responsibility for the inhabitants of a specific territory. The practices of environmental change, awareness of the importance of one’s own contribution to the development of the place of residence, and participation of residents in solving problems significant for the community are all related to the strengthening of regional or local identity. The objective of this study is to identify and analyze civic initiatives in the Moscow and St. Petersburg agglomerations that are related to the formation or strengthening of regional and local identity among residents. A series of case studies was conducted to examine instances where the urban community demonstrated a high capacity to influence regional identity from a grassroots level. . In the future, such initiatives can play an important role not only in preserving the symbolic foundations of regional and local identity, but also in creating new, unique meanings. The establishment of civil society institutions is frequently driven by the intention to address a specific urban issue. Examples of such triggers in the field of regional identity politics can be found in the preservation of historical and architectural heritage, the resolution of problems associated with urban improvement, and the resolution of cultural and environmental issues. The issue of developing new models of public communication between the state and civil actors engaged in identity politics in agglomerations, as well as creating non-conflict mechanisms for resolving disputes between state institutions and social movements, remains pertinent.

Published: August 2024

Human errors in medical practice can lead to misdiagnosis, resulting in inappropriate treatment and serious risks to patient health. Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) have emerged as a valuable tool for reducing such errors, particularly in medical diagnostics. These technologies can rapidly and accurately analyze large volumes of data, providing additional insights that help healthcare professionals to make more accurate decisions. AI excels in providing solid evidence to guide clinical decisions, reducing reliance on subjective judgments. It can analyse complex datasets and identify patterns that has chances to be overlooked by human eyes, thus leading to improved diagnostic accuracy and treatment plans. ML, a component of AI, uses adaptive models that learn from extensive datasets, though these models must be trained on high-quality data to avoid perpetuating errors or biases. In pulmonary medicine, AI and ML have shown considerable potential in diagnosing and treating conditions such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and pulmonary fibrosis. These technologies help determine disease staging, forecast exacerbations, and estimate survival rates. By harnessing AI and ML, clinicians can make more precise diagnoses, customize treatments to individual needs, and detect early signs of worsening conditions, ultimately enhancing patient outcomes. Moreover, AI and ML can minimize patient risks by providing a broader and more in-depth analysis of medical data. This review explores how these technologies can process large datasets to deliver insights that surpass human capability, fostering error-free diagnosis and treatment.
EFFECT OF TRANSVERSE AND LONGITUDINAL LAYER THICKNESS ON DEFORMATIONS AND STRESSES IN A THREE-LAYER CLT PANEL MODELED AS A COMPOSITE PLATE
Authors:   Orel State University named after I. S. Turgenev, Troshin Mikhail Yu. , Turkov Andrei V. , Zaev Aleksey V.
Published: August 2024

The study examines the effect of the transverse and longitudinal layers thickness of a three-layer CLT panel on the deformations and distribution of the resulting tensile and compressive normal stresses in the layers. Due to the current lack of a unified methodology for the calculation of multilayer materials with orthotropic properties in layers at present, we carried out the study with the SCAD+ computing complex using the finite element method. The studied model was a composite orthotropic plate. The authors obtained, systematized and clearly showed the dependences of the values of the maximum deflection and normal stresses on the thickness variation of transverse and longitudinal lamellae in a three-layer CLT panel under different boundary conditions. As a result of the study, we found that the greatest influence on the deflection and normal stresses along the span was caused by the longitudinal slab layers. The results provide a better insight into the relationship between deformability and stress distributions and the variation of transverse and longitudinal layer thicknesses. The obtained patterns can be used in the design of building structures using CLT panel.

Following the Sand
Authors: Murawska Oliwia
Published: August 2024

By applying an empirical, posthumanist and Stimmung-centred approach, I examine Southern Kashubian folklore from the perspective of a mostly overlooked actor: the sand. I first reread Kashubian folktales, lyrics and ethnographic texts focusing on sand motifs, asking what role sand plays in Kashubian narrative culture and what Stimmung (mood, attunement or atmosphere) induced by sand is inscribed in these texts. Based on my empirical material gathered in fieldwork, I then explain where sand is located in everyday knowledge and experience. Finally, I interpret the results by highlighting the correlations between sand and Stimmung, asking to what extent sand is not only a matter of tuning but is also an attuned matter, a concept developed in the course of the investigation.
Entanglements of COVID-19 Vaccine Hesitancy and Colonial Legacy in Russia's Peripheries
Authors: Kaliszewska Iwona , Kołodziejska Iwa
Published: August 2024

Given the quasi-colonial entanglements of Russia's peripheral republics, we ask whether and how their statuses influence local COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy. Dagestan, in the North Caucasus, provides an interesting case study: vaccines were readily available and promoted by authorities, yet non-vaccination seemed to be the overwhelmingly popular and commonly accepted practice in the republic. We show that the quasi-colonial status of the republic added to vaccine hesitancy by evoking fears stemming from the colonial past and turbulent present. We conclude that, in studies on vaccination, nation-states should not be treated as uniform entities. Otherwise, researchers risk overlooking local factors behind vaccine hesitancy. We show that in some cultural contexts vaccine hesitancy may stem from a collective understanding of health and the prioritisation of local solidarities.

Ventriculoperitoneal shunt tube migration into the heart and pulmonary artery: successful tube removal. Illustrative case
Authors: Tokuda Noriaki , Yamada Shuichi , Yokoyama Shohei , Nakagawa Ichiro
Published: August 2024

BACKGROUND

Ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt tube migration is recognized as an occasional complication; however, migration into the cardiac system is rare. The authors report a case of VP shunt tube migration into the heart and pulmonary artery and the safe removal of the tube.

OBSERVATIONS

The patient had a VP shunt implanted for hydrocephalus after a subarachnoid hemorrhage. The screening chest radiograph taken a few months later showed the migration of the abdominal tube into the heart. Examinations revealed that the abdominal tube had migrated from the left subclavian vein, passed through the superior vena cava, right atrium and ventricle, and looped into the pulmonary artery. The patient had no symptoms; however, there were some risks, such as damage to the valves or fatal arrhythmia. The authors therefore decided to remove the tube. To avoid various intraoperative risks, in particular tube knot formation, the tube was removed under fluoroscopy with a guidewire inserted, which was 0.035 inches for the angiography catheter. The tube was successfully removed without any complications.

LESSONS

Knot formation can be one of the fatal complications of shunt tube removal. The authors’ technique is an effective method for safe removal.

Spinal column shortening with single-stage prone lateral vertebral osteotomy for tethered cord syndrome: illustrative case
Authors: Pham Martin H , Khalifeh Kareem , Hirshman Brian R , Taylor William R
Published: August 2024

BACKGROUND

Tethered cord syndrome (TCS) is a rare neurological disorder characterized by longitudinal stretching on the distal end of the spinal cord. The condition commonly manifests in lumbosacral and lower-extremity pain and weakness, sensory disturbances, and incontinence. Traditionally, tethered cord release has been the first-line management for TCS, but retethering and complications such as cerebrospinal fluid leakage are commonly reported. As a result, spinal column shortening (SCS) vertebral osteotomy has emerged as a potential alternative.

OBSERVATIONS

Herein, the authors describe the first single-stage prone lateral SCS vertebral osteotomy with simultaneous posterior exposure in a 48-year-old male patient with multiple prior direct detethering procedures. The authors highlight the case presentation, operative technique, and postoperative course. Following surgery, there were no immediate surgical complications, and the patient noted clinical improvement in his radicular pain and neurological function.

LESSONS

This case further supports SCS vertebral osteotomy as an effective treatment option for patients with TCS. It also demonstrates the potential for a single-stage lateral approach with posterior exposure as a minimally invasive option for spinal shortening procedures. However, further studies using expanded cohorts and assessing various surgical techniques are warranted.

Not to Kill to Death»: On Corporal Punishment in the Church (Experience of Metropolitan John II’s Commentary on Recommendation 7 of the Canonical Answers)
Authors: Гайденко Павел
Published: August 2024

7 правило Канонических ответов митрополита Иоанна II — одно из самых неоднозначных. Направленное против колдовства и знахарства, оно допускало использование в отношении виновных жестоких наказаний, включая нанесение увечий. Объясняя право церкви на применение столь суровых взысканий, правило делало отсылку к церковным нормам, которые, действительно предполагали таковую суровость. Однако сопоставление древнерусского текста с греческим вариантом демонстрирует, что сделанный древнерусским книжником перевод не только неверно излагает некоторые положения, высказанные митрополитом, но и предлагает диаметрально противоположный смысл, искажая изложенное митрополитом. В исходном варианте русский первоиерарх исходил из принципов христианского милосердия и запрещал (в греческом варианте) в отношении согрешивших телесные наказания, как чуждые церковному духу.  

Rule 7 of the Canonical Answers of Metropolitan John II is one of the most ambiguous. Directed against witchcraft and sorcery, it allowed the use of cruel punishments, including mutilation, against the guilty. Explaining the right of the church to apply such severe penalties, the rule made reference to the church norms, which indeed presupposed such severity. However, a comparison of the Old Russian text with the Greek version demonstrates that the translation made by the Old Russian scribe not only incorrectly states some of the provisions expressed by the metropolitan, but also offers a diametrically opposite meaning, distorting what was stated by the metropolitan. In the original version, the Russian hierarch proceeded from the principles of Christian mercy and forbade (in the Greek version) corporal punishment of sinners as alien to the Church spirit.

Barriers in Obtaining a Naloxone Co-prescription for Patients Who Are Prescribed Opioids for Pain Management
Authors:   Rowan University, Vatsa Sonika
Published: August 2024

As the prevalence of chronic pain rises, the number of patients prescribed opioids is increasing. Consequently, the rate of opioid overdose has increased, becoming a public health concern.For these reasons, the Center for Disease Control and Prevention recommended co-prescribing naloxone, a medicine that reverses the effects of opioid overdose.While this medication can be lifesaving, it is not accessible or available to everyone in need of it. A systematic review of existing literature pertaining to the barriers in patients receiving naloxone was conducted to evaluate the major obstacles in patients receiving a naloxone co-prescription. The results show that the major deterrents include financial cost, geographic location, education, and stigma. Based on these findings, it is recommended that more trainings, information, and awareness should be distributed about naloxone to increase familiarity and decrease stigma in many communities.

Published: August 2024

Maternal mortality remains a significant issue in New Jersey, particularly in the Southern counties where rates are alarmingly high. This study investigates barriers faced by mothers in these areas, utilizing data from state health departments, as well as the CDC. Findings reveal clear disparities in healthcare access and resources, exacerbated by high poverty and rural settings. Proposed interventions include educational posters and community workshops to empower expecting mothers and families. However, challenges such as low attendance and limited effectiveness of interventions underscore the need for comprehensive, sustainable solutions to tackle maternal mortality in Southern New Jersey.
Neural network analysis in time series forecasting
Authors: Pashshoev B. , Petrusevich D. A.
Published: August 2024

Objectives. To build neural network models of time series (LSTM, GRU, RNN) and compare the results of forecasting with their mutual help and the results of standard models (ARIMA, ETS), in order to ascertain in which cases a certain group of models should be used.Methods. The paper provides a review of neural network models and considers the structure of RNN, LSTM, and GRU models. They are used for modeling time series in Russian macroeconomic statistics. The quality of model adjustment to the data and the quality of forecasts are compared experimentally. Neural network and standard models can be used both for the entire series and for its parts (trend and seasonality). When building a forecast for several time intervals in the future, two approaches are considered: building a forecast for the entire interval at once, and step-by-step forecasting. In this way there are several combinations of models that can be used for forecasting. These approaches are analyzed in the computational experiment.Results. Several experiments have been conducted in which standard (ARIMA, ETS, LOESS) and neural network models (LSTM, GRU, RNN) are built and compared in terms of proximity of the forecast to the series data in the test period.Conclusions. In the case of seasonal time series, models based on neural networks surpassed the standard ARIMA and ETS models in terms of forecast accuracy for the test period. The single-step forecast is computationally less efficient than the integral forecast for the entire target period. However, it is not possible to accurately indicate which approach is the best in terms of quality for a given series. Combined models (neural networks for trend, ARIMA for seasonality) almost always give good results. When forecasting a non-seasonal heteroskedastic series of share price, the standard approaches (LOESS method and ETS model) showed the best results.

Authors: Pevtsov E. F. , Demenkova T. A. , Indrishenok A. О. , Filimonov V. V.
Published: August 2024

Objectives. The development of computer technology and information systems requires the consideration of issues of their security, various methods for detecting hardware vulnerabilities of digital device components, as well as protection against unauthorized access. An important aspect of this problem is to study existing methods for the possibility and ability to identify hardware errors or search for errors on the corresponding models. The aim of this work is to develop approaches, tools and technology for detecting vulnerabilities in hardware at an early design stage, and to create a methodology for their detection and risk assessment, leading to recommendations for ensuring security at all stages of the computer systems development process.Methods. Methods of semi-natural modeling, comparison and identification of hardware vulnerabilities, and stress testing to identify vulnerabilities were used.Results. Methods are proposed for detecting and protecting against hardware vulnerabilities: a critical aspect in ensuring the security of computer systems. In order to detect vulnerabilities in hardware, methods of port scanning, analysis of communication protocols and device diagnostics are used. The possible locations of hardware vulnerabilities and their variations are identified. The attributes of hardware vulnerabilities and risks are also described. In order to detect vulnerabilities in hardware at an early design stage, a special semi-natural simulation stand was developed. A scanning algorithm using the Remote Bitbang protocol is proposed to enable data to be transferred between OpenOCD and a device connected to the debug port. Based on scanning control, a verification method was developed to compare a behavioral model with a standard. Recommendations for ensuring security at all stages of the computer systems development process are provided.Conclusions. This paper proposes new technical solutions for detecting vulnerabilities in hardware, based on methods such as FPGA system scanning, semi-natural modeling, virtual model verification, communication protocol analysis and device diagnostics. The use of the algorithms and methods thus developed will allow developers to take the necessary measures to eliminate hardware vulnerabilities and prevent possible harmful effects at all stages of the design process of computer devices and information systems.
Studying the influence of correction codes on coherent reception of M-PSK signals in the presence of noise and harmonic interference
Authors: Nguyen V. D.
Published: August 2024

Objectives. Signals with multiple phase shift keying (M-PSK) exhibiting good spectral and energy characteristics are successfully used in many information transmission systems. These include satellite communication systems, GPS, GLONASS, DVB/DVB-S2, and a set of IEEE 802.11 wireless communication standards. In radio communication channels, the useful signal is affected by various interferences in addition to noise. One of these is harmonic interference. As a result, high intensity harmonic interference practically destroys the reception of M-PSK signals. One of the important requirements for the quality of data transmission is the system error tolerance. There are different ways of improving the quality of information transmission. One of these is the use of corrective encoding technology. The aim of the paper is to assess the noise immunity of a coherent demodulator of M-PSK signals using Hamming codes (7,4) and (15,11), and convolutional encoding with Viterbi decoding algorithm (7,5) when receiving M-PSK signals under noise and harmonic interference in the communication channel.Methods. The methods of statistical radio engineering, optimal signal reception theory and computer simulation modeling were used.Results. Experimental dependencies of the bit error rate on the signal-to-noise ratio and on the intensity of harmonic interference of coherent reception of M-PSK signals in a channel with noise and harmonic interference were obtained using computer simulation modeling. This was done without using correction codes and with Hamming code (7.4) and (15.11) and convolutional encoding with Viterbi decoding algorithm (7,5).Conclusions. It is shown that the application of the correction codes effectively corrects errors in the presence of noise and harmonic interference with lower intensity. The correction is ineffective in the presence of high intensity interference. These results can provide important guidance in designing the reliable and energy efficient system.

Evolution of Female Desire and Fantasy in Bollywood Cinema: Perspectives from Male and Female Directors in the Post-Liberalization Era
Authors: Mistri Shrinwanti , Dasgupta Roudrajjal
Published: August 2024

The camaraderie between cinema and fantasy has a prolonged story, as one escalates the other. Since echoes of 'sexual fantasies’ and ‘gaze’ in cinema have been primarily celebrated and fantasized through patriarchal prisms, Bollywood and female desire have historically been fraught with challenges. However, Bollywood cinema has lately been undergoing significant landscape twists by featuring female fantasies in a bold and progressive manner at the forefront of narratives. In light of this, drawing from theoretical perspectives on the male gaze and psychoanalytic feminism, this paper will examine the evolving representations of female desire, fantasy and sexuality in contemporary Bollywood cinema. Through a nuanced analysis of nine key Bollywood films from 1996 to 2023,  this paper will compare male and female directors' approaches to the male gaze when depicting female desire and sexuality on screen, examining how filmmakers' personal perspectives shape cinematic portrayals. It will also consider how economic liberalization affected the representation of female sexual desires and fantasies in Bollywood cinema, emphasizing the intersection of culture, economics, and gender in Indian popular culture. To conclude, this paper will illuminate how Bollywood cinema has become a powerful platform for the exploration of female desire and fantasy, serving as a catalyst for social change and challenging conventional gender norms in contemporary Indian society.

Truth is light splintered through a prism and that gave me the idea of the astrophysicist who turns away from the outer universe to the space within.
V. Vijayan, ‘Afterword’, The Legends of Khasak
The Legends of Khasak (1969) by O.V. Vijayan has enjoyed a cult readership in the Indian subcontinent. The dominant critical or scholarly strain has been to read it as a literary symptom of the postcolonial imaginary. However, this has restricted the thematic potentialities of the text. While it employs the conventional postcolonial contestation between modernity and tradition as its framework, it far exceeds the binary in the forging of a novel consciousness and form. Using this as the theoretical springboard, the paper will attempt an exploration of Vijayan’s revisioning of the postmodern novel through the reconfiguration of the coordinates of time and space. This reconfiguration occurs through the lens of magic realism in so far as the experience of space – or Khasak as a site of the legendary – is conditioned by the experience of time. The aim of the paper is to look at the protagonist Ravi and his experience of the liminal boundary between history and myth, and the concomitant form of the novel through its reconceptualization of the Eurocentric theoretical paradigms of novelistic and epic time. This anticipates the emergence of a new spatio-temporal and narrative consciousness symptomatic of the fragmentary postcolonial condition.
