“The case of photographs” in the archive of the All-Union Society of Cultural Communication with Abroad. On the history of the staging of M. A. Bulgakov’s play “The Days of the Turbins” (1938) in London
Authors:   Russian State Library of Arts, Mishurovskaya Maria
Published: July 2022

The article examines the documents deposited in the folder “The All-Union Society of Cultural Communication with abroad. English Department. Correspondence with the VOKS commissioner in England about the staging of Bulgakov’s play The Days of the Turbins at the Phoenix Theater”, which is part of the 5283 foundation “The All-Union Society for Cultural Communication with Abroad (VOKS)” of the State Archive of the Russian Federation. The content of these archival sources is related to the so-called “case of photographs” of the performance “The Days of the Turbins” of the Moscow Art Academic Theater (Moscow Art Theater), requested in August 1938 by the director M. Saint-Denis for the production of a play about the Turbins at the Phoenix Theatre in London. M. Saint-Denis’s request was transmitted to the Anglo-American department of VOKS through J. Todd, Secretary of the Society for Cultural Relations between the Peoples of Great Britain and the USSR. A letter from J. Todd, reviewed by the head of the Anglo-American VOKS department M. V. Milikovsky, who received information that E. Lyons was allegedly involved in the production in London. E. Lyons, the author of the anti-Soviet book “The Moscow Carousel”, serves as the beginning of the “case of photographs”, which later became — especially after the premiere on October 6, 1938 of the play M. Saint-Denis “The White Guard” is a case of “perversion” of the text of a Soviet play. In this case, M. A. and E. S. Bulgakov took part, as well as their foreign acquaintances (K. Maril, G. Kelverley), VOKS employees: acting Chairman of the VOKS Board, cinema administrator and screenwriter V. F. Smirnov, head of the Anglo-American department M. V. Milikovsky, and then M. I. Grinev, who replaced him in his post, employees of the USSR Plenipotentiary Mission in London (M. V. Korzh, etc.), J. Todd, the Arts Committee at the USSR National Assembly and the Moscow Art Theater Administration. Photos requested by M. Saint-Denis, were never sent to London. In February 1939, Bulgakov was summoned to the Main Directorate of Theaters of the Committee for the Arts for explanations. However, the story with the photographs brought the author of the play not only unpleasant troubles, it helped him to get information about the stage text of the London “White Guard” and to deal with the problem of royalties. In the 1960s and 1970s, M. Saint-Denis’s performance was mentioned in Soviet publications as an example of the creative impact of K. S. Stanislavsky’s teaching on world stage art.
“To think that a communist society will be within the borders of the Soviet Union is to understand nothing about communism”. An unpublished speech by N. S. Khrushchev in Hungary (April 1958)
Authors:   Institute of Slavic Studies, Russian Academy of Sciences, Stykalin Alexander , Dzhalilov Teimur ,   Russian State Archive of Contemporary History, Institute of World History, Russian Academy of Sciences
Published: July 2022

In April 1958, a year and a half after the most powerful Hungarian uprising, which shook the very foundations of the communist power in this country, N. S. Khrushchev arrived in Hungary as the head of the Soviet delegation. During the ten day trip, the Soviet leader was shown the success of the normalization of the communist regime in the country. We are publishing a recording of Khrushchev’s speech at a reception on the occasion of the day of the liberation of Hungary from Nazi occupation. Since this particular speech was not originally intended to be reflected in the press, the Soviet leader, by his nature, in principle, prone to violation of the ritual, improvisation, deviations from the texts written in advance by speechwriters, could more freely address subjects, the coverage of which in the open press seemed inappropriate or premature. The published source is valuable for various reasons. It provides little-known from other sources details on the coordination between the USSR authorities and leaders of other socialist countries regarding actions about the situation in Hungary. It also reflects Khrushchev’s reaction to the independent policy of Tito’s Yugoslavia, especially to the preparation of the New Program of the League of Communists of Yugoslavia, adopted at the 7th Congress of the latter, which took place at the same time, in April 1958, and was recognized in Moscow as revisionist.
The era of Kievan Rus’ in the assessments of the Czech historian Michal Téra
Authors:   Russian State Social University (Minsk Branch), Shevchenko Kirill
Published: July 2022

The fundamental monograph written by the Czech historian Michal Tera and published in 2019, is a synthesis of the most important aspects of history and culture of Kievan Rus’. The Czech researcher, relying on impressive source base and extensive historiography, traces the complex process of the ethnogenesis of the Eastern Slavs, the peculiarities in the formation of their state and its subsequent evolution. He notes the key role of Prince Vladimir in the formation of borders and of the full-fledged state organism of Kievan Rus’, as well as in the Christianization of the Old Russian lands. The author pays much attention to the analysis of the reign of Yaroslav the Wise and various aspects of the cultural development of Old Rus’. A separate extensive chapter is devoted to the Christianization of Kievan Rus’ and the subsequent role of the church in the development of the state, society and culture. The Czech historian repeatedly emphasizes the cultural unity of the people of Old Rus’ and the common identity of the East Slavic population of Kievan Rus’, the catalyst for the formation of which was the adoption of Christianity. According to M. Tera, the awareness of their unity by the population of the lands of Old Rus’ far outlived the period of existence of the politically unified state.
History of dissidence in Eastern Europe
Authors:   Institute of Slavic Studies, Russian Academy of Sciences, Nikiforov Konstantin
Published: July 2022

This is a review of the first Russian-language summary of the dissident movement in Eastern Europe and its role in the final collapse of the totalitarian system. The study covers eight countries of the region: Albania, Bulgaria, Hungary, East Germany, Poland, Romania, Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia in the period from 1956 to 1989. Accordingly, the entire work is divided into eight essays. Each essay provides a brief historical overview and list of references, a chronicle of events, which reflects the facts related to the dissident movement. Finally, biographical articles about significant figures in the dissident movement in each of the countries mentioned are listed in alphabetical order. The definition of the term “dissident” remains debatable. The compilers of the Encyclopedia interpret it broadly. On the whole, the work fills in a noticeable gap that existed in historiography.

Using the web to predict regional trade flows: data extraction, modelling, and validation
Authors: Tranos Emmanouil , Incera Andre Carrascal , Willis George
Published: July 2022

Despite the importance of interregional trade for building effective regional economic policies, there is very little hard data to illustrate such interdependencies. We propose here a novel research framework to predict interregional trade flows by utilising freely available web data and machine learning algorithms. Specifically, we extract hyperlinks between archived websites in the UK and we aggregate these data to create an interregional network of hyperlinks between geolocated and commercial webpages over time. We also use some existing interregional trade data to train our models using random forests and then make out-of-sample predictions of interregional trade flows using a rolling-forecasting framework. Our models illustrative great predictive capability with $R^2$ greater than 0.9. We are also able to disaggregate our predictions in terms of industrial sectors, but also at a sub-regional level, for which trade data are not available. In total, our models provide a proof of concept that the digital traces left behind by physical trade can help us capture such economic activities at a more granular level and, consequently, inform regional policies.
Lessons Learned: A Neuroimaging Research Center’s Transition to Open and Reproducible Science
Authors: Bush Keith , Calvert Maegan , Kilts Clinton D.
Published: July 2022

Human functional neuroimaging has evolved dramatically in recent years, driven by increased technical complexity and emerging evidence that functional neuroimaging findings are not generally reproducible. In response to these trends, neuroimaging scientists have developed principles, practices, and tools to manage this complexity as well as to enhance the rigor and reproducibility of neuroimaging science. We group these best-practices under four categories: experiment pre-registration, FAIR data principles, reproducible neuroimaging analyses, and open science. While there is growing recognition of the need to implement these best-practices there exists little practical guidance of how to accomplish this goal. In this work, we describe lessons learned from efforts to adopt these best-practices within the Brain Imaging Research Center at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences over four years (July 2018 – May 2022). We provide a brief summary of the four categories of best-practices. We then describe our center’s scientific workflow (from hypothesis formulation to result reporting) and detail how each element of this workflow maps onto these four categories. We also provide specific examples of practices or tools that support this mapping process. Finally, we offer a roadmap for the step-wise adoption of these practices, providing evidence-based recommendations of why and what to do as well as a summary of cost-benefit tradeoffs for each step of the transition.

The Sense of Agency for Brain Disorders: A Comprehensive Review and Proposed Framework
Authors: Malik Rubina , Galang Carl Michael Orquiola , Finger Elizabeth
Published: July 2022

SoA refers to the feeling of control over voluntary actions and the outcomes of those actions. Several brain disorders are characterized by an abnormal SoA. To date, there is no robust treatment for aberrant agency across disorders; this is, in large part, due to gaps in our understanding of the cognitive mechanisms and neural correlates of the SoA. This apparent gap stems from a lack of synthesis in established findings. As such, the current review reconciles previously established findings into a novel neurocognitive framework for future investigations of the SoA in brain disorders, which we term the Agency in Brain Disorders Framework (ABDF). In doing so, we highlight key top-down and bottom-up cues that contribute to agency prospectively (i.e., prior to action execution) and retrospectively (i.e., after action execution). We then examine brain disorders, including schizophrenia, autism spectrum disorders (ASD), obsessive-compulsive disorders (OCD), and cortico-basal syndrome (CBS), within the ABDF, to demonstrate its potential utility in investigating neurocognitive mechanisms underlying phenotypically variable presentations of the SoA in brain disorders.
Training Does not Affect Reaction Time Correlations with General Intelligence
Authors: Lasker Jordan
Published: July 2022

Practice is a widely discussed topic in intelligence research and individual differences in scholastic test performance are frequently assumed to result from differences in how and how much people practice. A great deal of research has found that practice effects distance pen-and-paper test performance from general intelligence and cause memory to become a more important explanation for test performance. Other research has found that practice affects performance on reaction time tests, which are not laden with memory content. Both cap after a moderate amount of practice. This observation supports the existence of two types of practice effects: one related to learning how to perform tasks and the other related to repeating learned test content. It is presently unknown whether practice also distances reaction time performance from general intelligence. The present study analyzed whether more practiced reaction time tests given to a sample of 264 American trainee airmen were less related to general intelligence and found that they were not. The implications for understanding intelligence are considerable.
Who is flexible and adaptive in everyday life? Three facets of flexibility and development of the Flexibility Scale (FS-24)
Authors: Vylobkova Valentina , Heintz Sonja
Published: July 2022

Background: How flexible people react to changes, and adapt their behavior and plans, seems to be crucial in modern society. Nevertheless, no common conceptualization of flexibility exists in the psychological literature. Our work contributes to the scientific understanding of flexibility as a personality trait and offers a novel flexibility questionnaire. Methods & Results: An explorative study (N = 279) examined three individual-difference concepts of flexibility and their relations with the Big Five personality traits. Results suggested that flexibility consists of predictability, adaptability, and orderliness, can be assessed with 24 items (FS-24), and is distinguishable from the Big Five. A confirmatory study (N = 188) replicated the three flexibility components and showed good test-retest reliability for the FS-24. Further results provided initial support for its convergent (proactive personality) and discriminant validity (psychological flexibility). Conclusions: The FS-24 showed promising psychometric properties. The questionnaire has useful applications in personality research, organizational development and counseling.
A Systematic Review of Soft Skills Taxonomies: Descriptive and Conceptual Work
Authors: Joie-La Marle Chantal , Parmentier François , Coltel Morgane , Lubart Todd , Borteyrou Xavier
Published: July 2022

When the notion of soft skills appeared in 1972, one of the main conclusions was that soft skills are essential, but insufficiently observed, known and assessed. Fifty years later, the extensive literature about soft skills still struggles to find agreement on a definition of soft skills, besides their cross-functionality and their opposition to hard skills. These divergences contrast with the consensus about their contribution to work performance. To remedy this apparent paradox and better understand what soft skills are, this article proposes a systematic review of articles and organizational reports dealing with soft skills taxonomies. It also embraces taxonomies of notions that are considered as synonymous with soft skills (generic skills, transversal skills, employability skills, etc.), to delimit the boundaries of this concept. Connecting the resulting soft skills taxonomy with the dimensions of adaptive performance allows us to establish that soft skills play a major role in adapting successfully in a professional environment. This research contributes to delimit more precisely the definition of soft skills, their taxonomy, characteristics, and added value concerning adaptation in order to propose new perspectives on this theme. In addition to determining the skills considered as soft, this review examines their implicit dimension and their multiple interconnections.
The Effects of Communicating Climate Change Threat: Mobilizing Anger and Authoritarian Affect Displacement
Authors: Spaiser Viktoria , Dunn Kris , Milner Penelope , Moore Joseph
Published: July 2022

Research on climate change communication has made important contributions to our understanding of how to effectively inform and mobilize the public for climate action and yet open questions remain, not least because existing results are at times inconclusive or incomplete. The climate crisis poses an existential threat. But what effect does communicating that threat have? What emotions does the exposure to this threat invoke and how do these emotions interact with individual predispositions? In this study, we conducted a survey experiment (N=570) to better understand effects of communicating climate change threat. We find that exposure to climate change threat makes people angrier, and anger makes them more willing to act on climate change mitigation, confirming previous findings. However, our study adds a novel insight, the findings do not apply to people with authoritarian predispositions. Exposure to climate change threat produces lower levels of anger and willingness to act in those with more authoritarian predispositions while also increasing authoritarian attitudes. This suggests that climate change threat can lead to affect displacement in people with authoritarian values, where anger (typically directed at those in power, who have failed to tackle climate change) is suppressed and instead is directed at non-conforming groups.
A Data-Driven Approach to Discovering the Optimal Fixation Locations for Identification of Emotions in the Face
Authors: ATKINSON ANTHONY P.
Published: July 2022

At close personal distances all features of a face cannot fall within one’s fovea simultaneously. Does the ability to identify emotions expressed on such faces vary according to the feature fixated? Previous studies have presented faces for a brief time, insufficient for a saccade, at one of a few pre-defined positions, guaranteeing that a specific feature falls at the fovea. Here I take a more data-driven approach. Participants classified the emotion on briefly presented faces following enforced fixation at randomly selected points on the face. To highlight the regions where foveation led to higher emotion classification accuracy, ‘foveal advantage classification maps’ (fac-maps) were generated and overlaid on morphed average faces for each emotion. To compare across emotions, pairwise subtractions of the fac-maps were calculated and subjected to pixelwise one-sample t-tests. The resulting statistical parametric maps, along with region-of-interest analyses, allowed quantification of where in the face images foveal visual processing led to greater classification accuracy for one emotion versus another. The results were broadly consistent with – although did not map neatly onto – previously identified ‘emotion-diagnostic’ facial features. For example, accuracy for anger was higher when foveating the central brow or eyebrows, but also the mouth; for surprise when foveating the mouth but also the eyebrows; and for disgust when foveating the mouth or sides of the nose, but also the left outer eye/eyebrow. These results cannot be explained entirely in terms of the additional high-resolution information extracted at fixation; they also reflect the integration of emotion-relevant information across the face constrained by differences between foveal and extrafoveal processing.

The origin, evolution, and future of prolonged field care in the Canadian Special Operations Forces Command
Authors: Schmid Jo , Pannell Dylan
Published: July 2022

LAY SUMMARY

As a result of the unpredictable nature of warfare, military medics deployed on missions may be required to manage seriously ill or injured patients for longer than expected. Because this type of care is not typically the focus of a military medic’s training or mandate, core skills and knowledge gaps were, not surprisingly, identified. For this reason, specialized training was developed, and the term prolonged field care (PFC) was coined. PFC takes on concepts associated with traditional hospital care and translates them into austere military medical environments with limited resources, including supplies, equipment, and trained medical providers to manage critically ill or wounded patients. This training program helps medics maximize their ability to save lives and improve outcomes for those who are ill or injured. This article discusses how PFC originated both internationally and within the Canadian Special Operations Forces Command and core concepts and applications for future operations.

The Possibilities of Creating a Methodological Guide for the Formation of the Sound Culture of Speech of Younger Schoolchildren Based on the Steam Approach
Authors: Smirnova Sofia Petrovna
Published: July 2022

The relevance of the chapter topic is due to the fact that very little attention is paid to the sound culture of schoolchildren's speech when teaching in general educational institutions. Recent studies have shown a large percentage of first graders who have speech impairments, in particular oral, when they enter school. Speech disorders affect not only the child's communication skills and learning outcomes in the disciplines «Russian language» and «Literature». The cognitive sphere of a child is a world of close interconnections, where a violation or underdevelopment of one of the structures slows down or disrupts the development of another. Deviations in speech development impede the formation of verbal-logical thinking, operations of analysis, synthesis, generalization, and classification, which leads not only to difficulties in mastering the program material of individual disciplines, but also generally negatively affects the cognitive development of the child. We see the search for effective approaches to solving this problem in STEAM education, an ever-growing direction, implying an approach in which several subject areas are integrated into interdisciplinary project and research activities. Having studied the existing developments in the framework of special education, we see a real possibility and need to develop a methodological manual based on the STEAM approach in order to form the sound culture of schoolchildren's speech.
Os Poderes do Juiz no Processo de Recuperação Judicial e a Suspensão da Execução Fiscal da Empresa em Crise: Uma Análise Econômica
Authors: Klein Vinicius , Castro Eduardo
Published: July 2022

O Superior Tribunal de Justiça, de maneira majoritária, tem decidido que assiste ao juiz da recuperação judicial o poder de suspender atos de constrição de bens, determinados em sede de execução fiscal em desfavor do agente econômico em crise, sempre que referidos bens forem indispensáveis ao cumprimento do plano de recuperação apresentado. O entendimento, ainda que adotado com vistas à concretização do princípio da preservação da empresa, ao conferir ao órgão jurisdicional poderes que a lei aparentemente não lhe concede, acaba por produzir resultados econômicos indesejados tais como o agravamento dos riscos morais próprios do processo recuperacional, o desequilíbrio da ordem concorrencial e até mesmo a privação da sociedade dos tributos a que faz jus. É sobre esses efeitos que se irá discorrer no presente artigo.

Considerando uma eventual crise arrecadatória de tributos, ocasionada pelo fechamento dos mercados para conter o avanço do vírus - COVID 19, deste modo, resguardando-se o sistema de saúde brasileiro, o presente artigo utiliza-se do método hermenêutico sistemático e, a partir de pesquisa qualitativa, avalia-se a importância da aplicação da teoria da reserva do possível nas prestações de alto custo em conformidade com o contexto socioeconômico brasileiro, uma vez que os tribunais tendem a afastá-la, de pronto. Inicialmente, é analisada a premissa da escassez dos recursos e a concepção dos custos dos direitos, sob uma perspectiva casuística. Em seguida, verifica-se a adesão da referida teoria pelo direito brasileiro, sem observância das peculiaridades deste Estado. Por fim, demonstra-se que a aplicação da reserva do possível em face às prestações de saúde de alto custo deve estar balizada por elementos éticos, jurídicos e econômicos, aferidos concretamente pelos magistrados.
Judicialização predatória da saúde e falhas de governo: levando a sério a teoria da escolha pública
Authors: Silva Marco Aurélio Souza da
Published: July 2022

O artigo tem por objetivo abordar a judicialização predatória das políticas públicas de saúde sob a perspectiva da teoria da escolha pública (public choice theory). O debate sobre a judicialização da saúde tem girado em torno do confronto de argumentos sobre a máxima efetividade dos direitos fundamentais, a escassez dos recursos orçamentários, o mínimo existencial e a reserva do possível. Chama-se a atenção para a importância de entender os comportamentos dos atores envolvidos, especialmente no âmbito do governo, que ao longo do tempo contribuíram de alguma forma para o atual estágio da litigância, tomando como exemplo o Estado de Santa Catarina no período compreendido entre 2015 e 2018. Conclui-se que é fundamental a criação de uma estrutura de incentivos que permita aos agentes públicos envolvidos maximizar o bem-estar do maior número possível de pessoas destinatárias de serviços de saúde.

How to Optimize Conception: Timing is everything!
Authors: J. McKenzie Laurie
Published: July 2022

Infertility is defined as the inability to conceive within 12 months of regular unprotected intercourse for women under 35 years of age and affects approximately 15% of reproductive aged couples [1]. A diagnosis of infertility is often emotionally, physically, and financially devastating and many patients will seek fertility assistance with their obstetrician and gynecologist. While there may be underlying factors contributing to infertility that that require specific treatments (i.e. fibroids requiring myomectomies), there are also many patients that are unaware of how best to optimize conception timing. Counseling patients regarding the science of reproduction and adjusting at home practices may increase their chances for success.
Characteristics and Vaccine Booster Effectiveness in Covid-19 Infections Using 15 Days Post-Booster Period as Baseline during the Omicron Wave in A General Medicine office in Toledo (Spain)
Authors: Luis Turabian Jose
Published: July 2022

Background: Vaccine covid-19 booster effectiveness (VBE) timing is not clearly known Objective: To compare the cases of covid-19 in vaccinated booster people with a time of <15 days vs. >= 15 days from booster to infection diagnosis and assess their relative VBE. Methodology: An observational, longitudinal and prospective study of adult patients with covid-19 breakthrough infections in booster vaccinated people, in general medicine and for the period December 2021 to February 2022, during the omicron variant contagion wave. Results: Forty-six cases were included, 15 cases of Covid-19 breakthrough infections with booster shot <15 days (33%) with a mean time in days from booster to diagnostic covid-19 of 6 days, and 31 cases with booster > = 15 days (67%) with a time in days from booster to covid-19 diagnostic of 37 days of mean. Relative VBE <15 days (cases where it can be considered that the booster is not yet effective) vs. > = 15 days (cases where it can be considered that the booster is already effective) [1 - (Cases with vaccine Booster shot < 15 days) / (Cases with vaccine Booster shot > = 15 days) x 100] was 60%. Covid-19 cases with booster shot <15 days had been more vaccinated with 2 doses of ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 vaccine (Vaxzevria, Oxford / AstraZeneca) plus booster of mRNA-1273 vaccine (Spikevax, formerly covid-19 Vaccine Moderna). Conclusion: In the general practice setting in Toledo, Spain, from December 1, 2021 to February 28, 2022, at the peak of omicron infections, booster after a period of <15 days provided 60% relative protection against symptomatic disease vs. > = 15 days. The results suggest that booster received <15 days provided early protection against SARS-CoV-2 infection of symptomatic Covid-19 of 60%. However, this result does not seem logical: this lower early risk may be transient and due to “vaccinated bias.”
Fluctuating RT-PCR Ct Values- A Case Series
Authors: Mundodan Jesha
Published: July 2022

Real-time reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (r RT-PCR) has been the main diagnostic tool for SARS-CoV-2 infection since the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic and a positive test enables the clinicians and public health professionals to quickly isolate the patient and prevent spread of the disease. The presence of viral RNA confirms SARS CoV-2 and the Cycle threshold (Ct) values may give a rough estimate of viral load. Theoretically, the Ct value is inversely proportional to the amount of genetic material (RNA) in the starting sample and lower Ct values is generally associated with high viral load. Some experts assume that high viral load is directly correlated with increased infectiousness and severity of disease and suggest using Ct value or calculating viral load in decision-making. As per the policy, dated 14th June 2020, National Health Strategic Command Group in Qatar recommends using RT-PCR Ct value as a key determinant for decision on admission, discharge and isolation. The objective of this case series is to show that Ct values vary as the course of infection progresses, hence cannot be used as a reliable marker to take clinical decisions or even public health actions such as quarantine/ isolation. All six confirmed COVID-19 cases showed fluctuating RT-PCR Ct values throughout the course of illness. The Ct value was higher in the beginning of the course of infection, depicting low viral load and later in the course the Ct value dropped indicating higher viral load. The Ct value decreased as symptoms developed or worsened. There is a high probability that patients in early symptomatic stage may show a high Ct value which may subsequently change and thus management will change. In such cases, the high Ct values will give a false sense of security and thus have an impact on the containment of spread of infection to others. Hence, it is not recommended to rely on numerical Ct values for determining infectiousness of COVID-19 patients and deciding patient management protocols since the Ct value an indirect marker of viral load, changes over the course of infection.
Gadget Addiction and Parental Responsibilities in Child Rearing

Published: July 2022

Gadgets like mobile, iPad and other electronic devices are a necessary evil in the modern world. These electronic devices have many advantages in the day-to-day life of human and it is a boon in terms of knowledge transfer to all age groups in a very short span of time. It has its own disadvantages and when recklessly used causes very many ill effects for the mankind. The global pandemic of Covid 19 since the year 2020 has made these gadgets available and usable for all age groups. Children are the major users and have no other option except to use these gadgets. This causes addiction in these young little minds and has a huge physical, mental and social ill health. The only way that this can be minimized though not prevented is by the way of customizing the nurturing pattern and added parental responsibilities. Parents they themselves are over worked with gadgets due to pandemic it becomes an utmost need to modify the nurturing practices to prevent gadget addiction in their children.

Distinguish Thyroid Malignant from Benign Alterations using Neutron Activation Analysis of Chemical Element Contents in Nodular Tissue
Authors: Zaichick Vladimir
Published: July 2022

Thyroid benign (TBN) and malignant (TMN) nodules are a common thyroid lesion. The differentiation of TMN often remains a clinical challenge and further improvements of TMN diagnostic accuracy are warranted. The aim of present study was to evaluate possibilities of using differences in chemical elements (ChEs) contents in nodular tissue for diagnosis of thyroid malignancy. Contents of eight ChEs including bromine (Br), calcium (Ca), chlorine (Cl), iodine (I), potassium (K), magnesium (Mg), manganese (Mn), and sodium (Na) were prospectively evaluated in nodular tissue of thyroids with TBN (79 patients) and to TMN (41 patients). Measurements were performed using instrumental neutron activation analysis. It was observed that in TMN tissue the mass fractions of Br and I are approximately 2.9 and 14 times, respectively, lower, while the mass fraction of Ca, K, and Mg are 94%, 56%, and 36%, respectively, higher than in TBN tissue. Contents of Cl, Mn, and Na found in the TBN and TMN groups of nodular tissue samples were similar. Finally, it was proposed to use the I mass fraction and I/Ca, I/K, and I/Mg mass fraction ratios in a needle-biopsy of thyroid nodules as a potential tool to diagnose thyroid malignancy. Further studies on larger number of samples are required to confirm our findings and proposals.

Porous metal or metal oxide frameworks have been comprehensively applicated to numerous fields such as catalyst, energy storage system, and bio-filtration. Here, we introduce a de-alloying method prior to a facile polymer gel-templating to synthesize a self-supporting porous metal/metal oxide frameworks (e.g. Au, Ag, Ag/CuO, Au/MnO2, etc.). The template methods based on polymer gel suggest easy preparation of porous metal/metal oxide frameworks, prepared by heating a metal precursor impregnated in polymer gel. Compared to de-alloying Ag65A35 method, polymer gel based soft template serves numerous advantages as follows; 1) facile fabrication of porous transition metal structure, 2) atom economy, 3) high-loading of precious metals, 4) harmless to human and environment, 5) natural abundance, 6) easy to scale-up and control the pore size by differentiate the polymer content ratio, 7) mild reaction conditions, and 8) structural controllability, 9) cost-effectiveness, etc. We report the methodologies to synthesis bicontinuous metal/ metal oxide architectures, derived from porous gel soft templates, and they are applicated to the energy storage system such as, supercapacitor, pseudocapacitor, and battery.
