The influence of nondrug methods on cognitive and emotional-affective disorders in patients with mild vascular cognitive impairment
Authors: Novikova M. S. , Zakharov V. V.
Published: May 2023

Emotional-affective disorders often accompany vascular cognitive impairment. Currently, there is insufficient data on the impact of non-drug treatment of cognitive impairment on the emotional sphere.

The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of non-drug methods (meal planning, exercise, cognitive training) on anxiety and depression in patients with mild cognitive impairment of vascular etiology.

Material and methods. The study included 60 patients aged 45 to 88 years (mean age 63.9 ± 9.7, 26 males and 34 females) with mild cognitive impairment of vascular etiology. 30 patients (study group, 18 women, 12 men, mean age 63.7 ± 8.8 years, Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) score 22.5 ± 2.4) received a set of non-drug methods for 1 month, including cognitive training, detailed recommendations on physical activity and meal planning. Patients in the control group (n = 30, 16 women, 14 men, mean age — 64.2 ± 10.7 years, MoCA score — 21.7 ± 2.4 points) were once informed by the attending physician about the expediency of a physically and cognitively active lifestyle and the basic principles diets, however, systematic training with them was not carried out. Anxiety and depression were assessed at the stage of inclusion in the study, after 1 month, after 6 months, and one year after the start of observation using the Beck Depression Scale, the Spielberger–Khanin Anxiety Scale.

Results. 1 month after the start of the study, along with a significant (p < 0.05) improvement in cognitive functions according MoCA, a significant decrease in the severity of anxiety was noted in the study group (p < 0.05). In patients with mild and moderate depression (n = 13), a significant (p < 0.05) regression in the severity of depression was recorded after a month of using non-drug methods. However, in the process of long-term follow-up (1 year), the differences with the initial visit for these indicators lost statistical significance. In the control group, a month after the start of the study, there were no significant differences in the MoCA test (p > 0.05), while the indicators of anxiety and depression worsened throughout the entire observation period. The study group significantly (p < 0.05) outperformed the control group in the MoCA test immediately after treatment and after 6 months. Differences of anxiety level were significant only immediately after treatment.

Conclusion. A complex of non-drug methods is effective in the treatment of vascular MCI and reduces anxiety in patients. In patients with mild and moderate depression decrease of depression symptoms was observed also. However the effect of the monthly course was not stable.
Instrumental methods for assessing the state of the paravertebral lumbar muscles in patients with lumbosacral radiculopathy and nonspecific muscle-skeletal pain

Published: May 2023

Neurological examination plays the main role in diagnostic and management of radiculopathies. In addition, the instrumental methods could be used for diagnosis of the morphological and functional state of paraspinal muscles. Paraspinal muscles are symmetrical back muscles surrounding the spinal column and supporting it. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as well as needle electromyography (EMG) and ultrasound are used for instrumental diagnosis of paraspinal muscles conditions. We provide the review on the current scope of studies on radiculopathies and non-specific back pain. MRI is the principle standard for radiculopathy diagnosis, but other methods such as muscle ultrasound and needle electromyography are also used here. MRI is characterized by a high cost, and it is impossible to carry it out if there are magnetic objects present in the patient’s body. EMG and ultrasound both are not sufficient enough to study the level of the fatty replacement of the paraspinal muscle, while this parameter is quite significant for measuring a radiculopathy outcome. Thus, we consider it rational to recommend using these methods in combination. Indications for the combined examination may be such complex cases as anatomical anomalies of spinal roots, atypical disease pattern.

Authors: Monami Matteo
Published: May 2023

Background/aim: this editorial is aimed at providing a reference for the medical nutritional therapy (MNT) in patients with type 2 diabetes, as recommended by the new Italian guidelines for the treatment of type 2 diabetes and its 2023-Update. Methods and results: the present paper re¬vised the recently published Italian guidelines for the treatment of type 2 diabetes (outpatients) and its update, either in primary care or specialist referral. The guideline has been developed following the methods described in the Manual of the National Guideline System (http://www.snlg-iss.it) by a panel nominated by the Società Italiana di Diabetologia (SID) and Associazione Medici Diabetologi (AMD). Available literature on nutritional therapy showed a greater efficacy of: 1) MNT vs. unstructured nutritional advices, 2) Mediterranean diet vs. other dietary approaches, and the use of low- vs. high-glycemic index nutrients in reducing HbA1c and body weight.
Conclusions: the present paper illustrates the recommendations of the Italian guidelines (and its 2023-update) for the treatment of type 2 diabetes on medical nutritional therapy. In synthesis, the panel suggests a structured medical therapy, balanced diet (Mediterranean), and the use of low-, rather than high-glycemic index nutrients due to the improvement of glycemic control and body weight.

Published: May 2023

Shrimp farming has been becoming a new source of income for fishermen in South Korea. It is often necessary for fishers to measure the size of the shrimp for the purpose to understand the growth rate of the shrimp and to determine the amount of food put into the breeding pond. Traditional methods rely on humans, which has huge time and labor costs. This paper proposes a deep learning-based method for calculating the size of shrimps automatically. Firstly, we use fine-tuning techniques to update the Mask RCNN model with our farm data, enabling it to segment shrimps and generate shrimp masks. We then use skeletonizing method and maximum inscribed circle to calculate the length and width of shrimp, respectively. Our method is simple yet effective, and most importantly, it requires a small hardware resource and is easy to deploy to shrimp farms.

For this, we proposed functional requirements for smart devices and design methods for implementing each requirement using sensors and modules in smart device. And we derived evaluation items for performance evaluation of the smart device and proposed an evaluation environment for performance evaluation in mountainous area.
Eligibility Verification based on Immutable Personal Information without Revealing the Owner’s Identity
Authors:   Korean Institute of Smart Media, Park Jun-Cheol
Published: May 2023

When an individual needs to prove eligibility, it is sufficient to know whether or not s/he meets the eligibility, but any existing method inevitably exposes the identity of the owner or unnecessary additional information in the process of providing personal information. In this paper, among the immutable items of personal information such as gender, date of birth, and place of birth, we propose a method in which the owner provides only essential item(s) to the eligibility verifier with each iterm marked on one option among multiple choices. In this way, the eligibility verifier can access the combination of items stored in the blockchain with the consent of the information owner, and can safely store the access history by requesting recording in the blockchain again. In the proposed method, the user does not worry about his/her identity being revealed or his/her personal information being overly exposed, and the eligibility verifier can check only necessary items and search later records without separately storing the records.
Performance Analysis of Optical Camera Communication with Applied Convolutional Neural Network
Authors:   Korean Institute of Smart Media, Kim Jong-In , Park Hyun-Sun , Kim Jung-Hyun
Published: May 2023

Optical Camera Communication (OCC), known as the next-generation wireless communication technology, is currently under extensive research. The performance of OCC technology is affected by the communication environment, and various strategies are being studied to improve it. Among them, the most prominent method is applying convolutional neural networks (CNN) to the receiver of OCC using deep learning technology. However, in most studies, CNN is simply used to detect the transmitter. In this paper, we experiment with applying the convolutional neural network not only for transmitter detection but also for the Rx demodulation system. We hypothesize that, since the data images of the OCC system are relatively simple to classify compared to other image datasets, high accuracy results will appear in most CNN models. To prove this hypothesis, we designed and implemented an OCC system to collect data and applied it to 12 different CNN models for experimentation. The experimental results showed that not only high-performance CNN models with many parameters but also lightweight CNN models achieved an accuracy of over 99%. Through this, we confirmed the feasibility of applying the OCC system in real-time on mobile devices such as smartphones.
From Invisible to Irresistible: Intellectual Property and Digital Media & Entertainment Ventures in Korea
Authors:   Korean Institute of Smart Media, Hyun Eun Jung
Published: May 2023

In this paper, we investigate the relationship between a company's Intellectual Property (IP) portfolio strength and its success in obtaining venture funding in the Korean digital media & entertainment industry. Using data from 685 Korean digital media & entertainment companies registered in Crunchbase, a global database provider of venture funding information, we found that a strong IP portfolio is positively associated with funding success. Furthermore, our study revealed that the effect of IP portfolio strength on funding success is stronger for younger companies, suggesting that IP portfolio is more critical for firms that have less reputation and track record.

Published: May 2023

The ice cover of the Gulf of Ob is formed in an extended zone, where the sea and fresh waters are mixed. This study aims to evaluate certain physical and mechanical characteristics of such ice. It examines data on a complex of physical and mechanical fast ice characteristics in the Ob’ Bay, obtained in the course of field studies over the last 30 years. The total amount of data available to the team of authors exceeds 200 cores, sampled in the Ob’ Bay (from Novy Port to the boundary between the Bay and the Kara Sea) in different years and in different months of the ice season.

Processed data on ice temperature are presented, as well as information on the evolution of integral ice temperature during ice season. The change of integral ice salinity in the Ob’ Bay with geographic latitude is identified and shown, and the function approximating this change is given.

The estimates of average density and porosity of ice by thickness are presented. The effect of mineral inclusions on the increase in ice density is considered.

An analysis was carried out of the correspondence between the field data on fresh and saline ice sample strength in uniaxial compression (with the load application parallel to the ice cover surface) with theoretical strength estimates from Russian and foreign scientific and methodological literature, based on the data obtained on physical and mechanical ice characteristics in the Ob’ Bay. A generalized estimate of the saline ice strength limit in the Ob’ Bay, obtained in uniaxial compression parallel to the surface of ice accumulation is given, as well as its approximation by lognormal distribution.

The results obtained in the analysis of the strength characteristics of ice in the Gulf of Ob can be used for practical purposes. The results may also prove useful in terms of contribution to theoretical knowledge on the experimental mechanics of ice in desalinated water bodies.
Peculiarities of joint influence of navigation intensification and climate change on fast ice distribution in the Ob’ Bay
Authors: Vinogradov R. A. , Andreev O. M. , Morozova O. A. , Drabenko D. V. , Drabenko V. A.
Published: May 2023

All year–round navigation in the Ob’Bay has been operating for more than ten years. In recent years it has been performed most actively at three points: the port terminals Sabetta and «Utrenniy» (on the opposite coasts in the northern part of the bay) and the oil loading terminal «Vorota Arktiki» (in the southern part of the bay, off cape Kamenny). Regular winter navigation to Sabetta began in 2013 and to cape Kamenny in 2015. In recent years, the number of vessels in November–May has already risen to about 380 per season. The winter navigation in the fast ice is performed along ice channels, which should impact on the fast ice stability. The aim of this research was to determine the influence of navigation on the fast ice distribution in the Ob’Bay in terms of climate changes. To analyze navigation impact on the fast ice distribution in the Ob’Bay, data on air temperature, ice conditions and number of vessels in the winter period were used in the work. The sum of the freezing degree days (FDD) was chosen as a parameter of winter conditions severity. The mean location of the south boundary of the flaw polynya per season was a parameter of the fast ice stability. Such an approach reduced the influence of short–term fluctuations of temperature and ice conditions. The data analysis carried out over the last 25 years has confirmed a significant influence of navigation on the fast ice distribution. It has been found that for the range from mean to mild winter conditions (an estimate using FDD), the dislocation of the flaw polynya boundary in the south direction amounted to 0.4–0.8 degrees of latitude (25–50 miles) because of winter navigation intensification. Winter conditions more severe than mean have not been recorded in the region over recent years. Therefore, such estimates were not obtained for them. The discovered changes of ice conditions are significant for the region. The transfer from fast ice to drifting ice of different types, forms and concentration will lead to the corresponding restructuring of other natural processes (water dynamics, litho-dynamic regime, etc). Subsequently the impact of hydrometeorological factors on engineering facilities can change, affecting the navigation conditions, scenarios of loading on the hydraulic structures, absolute loading values, etc. This is a factor to consider in the economic development of the region.
Liposomes as Drug Carriers: Classification, Preparation Methods, and Medicinal Use

Published: May 2023

Liposomes are one of the most well-known and promising nanoscale drug delivery systems. Liposomal medicinal products are successfully used in clinical practice for cardiovascular, oncological, dermatological, and other indications. The development of liposomes and their widespread implementation in clinical practice are relevant tasks.

The aim of the study was to summarise and analyse scientific data regarding the structure, composition, and classification of liposomes, as well as specific aspects of liposome production methods.

This review covers up-to-date information on marketed liposomal medicinal products. The authors illustrate how production methods affect the composition and structure of liposomes. The size and lamellarity are important characteristics of liposomes that determine the encapsulation efficiency and biodistribution of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). The choice of excipients depends on the intended use of liposomal medicinal products. The article summarises the main liposome production methods, highlighting specific usage aspects, advantages and disadvantages. Conventional liposome production methods are easy to apply and do not require complex equipment, and their principal disadvantages include the low efficiency of API encapsulation within liposomes and the high complexity of scaling up technological processes. The authors pay special attention to microfluidic techniques for liposome preparation, which are characterised by a highly controlled technological process (in terms of size distribution and lamellarity), high reproducibility, and scalability to the level of industrial production and are applicable to encapsulating different APIs.
The Poverty of Philosophy
Authors:   Zhytomyr Pharmaceutical College, Voronyuk Oleksandr
Published: May 2023

This article explores the essence of philosophy as a situation of authentic asking (poverty) which transcends the bounds of pragmatic knowledge. The poverty of philosophy is investigated in three meanings: liminality, abandonment, freedom. Liminality means that basic philosophical concepts are not ontologically given, they point to the openness of being, so docta ignorantia, learned ignorance is posited as the archetypal form of philosophy. Learned ignorance here means the knowledge of the whole (freedom, truth, God, soul, death, etc.). Knowledge of these is not gained experientially, not amassed, nor passed on, but rather exists in the special mode of already-knowledge. This knowledge leads to the dichotomy of captivation for fundamental philosophical concepts that precedes reflection and “grasp” of the instrumental mind, which turns the world as a whole into the object of power-seeking (V. Bibikhin). Abandonment: philosophy unfolds as thinking after the catastrophe of great beginnings. Historically, philosophy emerges with the collapse of mythological thinking. Philosophy is defined as post-catastrophic thinking, thinking in the state of abandonment. Freedom: philosophy as a self-collected readiness to place oneself at the edge. The author points out the marginality of philosophy, which doesn’t represent any metasubject (nation, state, class). This article shows philosophy’s destructive influence on myth, using the juxtaposition of community and society. Myth is shown to be a meta-narrative that integrates the community through a grand story of identity, marginalizing the Other and taking away her voice. At the same time, community is not an alternative project to be implemented as “utopia”; it is called to resist the final immanentization of society by generating splits and disruptions. The author outlines the main characteristics of community: the interruption of myth through giving voice to outcasts, and the destruction of the mimetic stance of “sacred beginnings”; the dispersion of subjective collectedness in existence- at-the-edge of a simulacrum; the introduction of the principle of ontological inadequacy (M. Blanchot); the gainsaying of the alternative between the singular and the general through articulating a “singular plural” (J.-L. Nancy), “any” being (G. Agamben); com-patibility as division (of joint space of coexistence and resisting homogenization); death as extreme openness to the other; communication as an ontological phenomenon beyond the function of representation and passing “information”; and memory as preservation of the traumatic Forgotten (J.-F. Lyotard). This article analyzes contemporary culture’s simulation of poverty, where exoticism of amassed impressions replaces liminality, the place of abandonment is taken by the apocalyptic rhetoric of postmodernity, and freedom is simulated through the biopolitical themes of security.
Self- and Mutual Respect: Beyond Abstraction and Social Humiliation
Authors:   European College of Liberal Arts in Belarus, Shparaga Olga
Published: May 2023

This article offers a look at self- and mutual respect – key concepts of the text – from the perspective of political philosophy, and attempts to show their significance in guaranteeing a decent life in contemporary society. The attempt begins with the experience of social humiliation in Belarus, quite widespread for numerous groups of people. According to John Rawls, it is precisely self- and mutual respect that are meant to reveal the social unacceptability of this experience, which runs counter to the idea of justice. In connection to this, Rawls specifies the concepts of self- and mutual respect, stressing their cognitive and volitional dimensions, as well as what types of human associations support them. By contrast, contemporary American philosopher Martha Nussbaum demonstrates that self- and mutual respect in Rawls are subordinated to the economic efficiency of social cooperation – the true criterion of a just social order, according to Rawls. To return self- and mutual respect to their essential place in the concept of justice (which directly affects the relationship between the idea of justice and the goal of assuring a decent life), Nussbaum offers a wider, somatic understanding of rationality, self and social cohesion. This interpretation also deepens the understanding of justice, connecting the contractual concept of justice with the inclusive one. According to contemporary French political theorist Pierre Rosanvallon, this renewed reading of self- and mutual respect, and thus of justice, affects the concept and justification of the notion of democracy. For this reason, we can supplement the just rules of democracy with attention to the peculiar nature of social humiliation and the privations experienced by people. In my opinion, this discussion is fundamental for post-Soviet countries like Belarus, where social humiliation is the norm, and as such, is not perceived as an obstacle to the democratization of civil society.

Published: May 2023

This article describes the various calculations of the number of linguistic phenomena; the construction of their stochastic models based on these quantitative data; the testing of hypotheses about these various phenomena using statistical methods; and implementation of the obtained results in various fields related to the use and learning of natural languages. Each linguistic unit is researched as a component of a language system. Studies of earlier and newer collections of texts have made it possible to confirm both previously defined and new statistical parameters and patterns of textual structuring as well as the structural features of various languages. The article’s particular focus is on text attribution (authorship). Provided are the results of statistical studies of literary works by Vasyl Stefanyk, Mykhailo Iatskiv, Lina Kostenko, and Petro Karman’skyi carried out in the Department of Applied Linguistics of Lviv Polytechnical National University. Calculated were the frequency of alphabetic symbols and their euphony, and the required minimum sample size vis-à-vis the entire volume of an author’s texts is determined. It is posited that such samples must be formed by means of the random selection of textual fragments from all of an author’s works. Our tests obtained a negative result regarding the hypothesis that the frequency of such symbols may indicate authorship. The number of paragraphs in Stefanyk’s and Iatskiv’s works, of the number of sentences in each of their paragraphs, of the number of word forms in the sentences, and the word forms’ length were statistically established.
Math and Myth: A Quantitative Approach to Comparative Mythology

The article is devoted to the application of a certain mathematical apparatus–the theory of complex networks–to quantitatively describe and compare myths belonging to different cultures. One of the fundamental results of comparative mythology is the finding of structures common for many cultures–monomyths. In our study, we focus on other aspects that are also common to different narratives. The approach we take is based on a new way of getting information about the relationships between the characters in the narrative. These characteristics are uniquely expressed in numerical form, and thus there is the possibility for quantitative comparison of different characters of the same text and texts belonging to different periods and different cultures. The method of analysis we use is based on the study of social connections between the characters of a particular epic narrative and on the quantitative analysis of these connections. To this end, the structure of a narrative is depicted as a network (graph) where the nodes are the characters and the edges are the connections (friendly or hostile) between the characters. This enables one, within a unique approach, to carry out a quantitative analysis and comparison of network structures that correspond to different texts. In particular, our work covers such texts as Homer’s epic poem The Iliad , the Irish sagas Táin Bó Cúailnge and Gaedhel re gallaibh, the five largest Icelandic sagas, and Beowulf, the Anglo-Saxon heroic epic. A quantitative analysis of the networks of connections between the characters of these works suggests that, in addition to the existence of monomyths, there are common universal characteristics in the structure of characters’ social networks. Among the common properties is the small characteristic size of the network (the average length of the shortest path) and significant correlations between the network nodes (high value of the clustering coefficient). Common features of these networks include the social balance corresponding to the location of hostile and friendly relationships and characteristic behaviour under the node removal from the network. Our findings suggest that network analysis can serve as another way of addressing issues related to the classification or study of narratives.
