Disgust sensitivity and psychopathic behavior: A narrative review
Authors: Torres German , Sheikh Amina A. , Carpo Beatrice G. , Sood Riya A. , Mourad Mervat , Leheste Joerg R. 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
Humans live under constant threat from pathogenic microorganisms and minimizing such threat has been a major evolutionary selective force in shaping human behavior and health. A particular adaptive mechanism against the harm caused by parasites and their infectiousness is disgust sensitivity, which has evolved to detect and avoid poisonous foods as well as bodily secretions harboring virulent microorganisms. This ubiquitous and reflexive behavior requires the integration of several internal and external sensory signals between the brain, the autonomic nervous system (ANS), and the gastrointestinal tract. Although the emotional expression of disgust is experienced by almost all individuals, the neural mechanisms of sensory signals underlying disgust sensitivity may differ in certain psychiatric conditions. Psychopathy, for instance, is a personality disorder in which disgust sensitivity to contagious bodily secretions is apparently absent or downregulated from its atypical personality temperament. In this review, we provide convergent behavioral, anatomical, and cellular evidence to suggest that a fractured experience of disgust sensitivity might be an additional feature of psychopathic behavior. First, we discuss the neural networks of certain brain regions mediating the emotional states of disgust and then discuss the intersection of the ANS and gastrointestinal tract in the processing of disgust and its relevance to aberrant antisocial behavior. Together, this work highlights the interconnections between the brain and the bilateral body plan as an integrated cell network that is relevant for understanding common principles underlying function and dysfunction of disgust levels in psychiatric domains.
Driving Change in Troubling Times: Security, Risk and the State in Global Production Networks
Authors: Hess Martin , Horner Rory 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
This editorial revisits the state – global production network (GPN) nexus in times of multiple crises affecting the global economy and society. Setting the scene, we first reflect on the role of geopolitics in transforming GPNs under conditions of increasing uncertainty before turning our attention to the ways in which states deal with questions of security and navigate risk. It also highlights the increasingly overt role of strategic state strategies vis-a-vis GPNs. In a second step, we discuss the central, constitutive role of the state in processes of strategic coupling, decoupling and recoupling, before presenting some concluding thoughts.
Vilnius and the Problem of Rococo, 1803–1830
Authors: Jędrzejewski Tomasz 
Published: December 2024

Post-partition Vilnius has often been described as the birthplace of Romanticism (or the city of late Enlightenment). This article focuses not on Classicism or Romanticism, but on the local Rococo culture that flourished between 1803 and 1830. The term ‘Rococo’ encompasses a certain aesthetic sensibility that became popular in the salons mondains of the long 18th century. The preference for the small, the irregular, the intriguing and the enchanting can be observed not only in the metropolises such as Paris, Rome, London or Warsaw, but also in Vilnius at the beginning of the 19th century. The author of the article presents the local Rococo culture on the basis of three examples: the periodical Tygodnik Wileński (1804), selected book publications from the early 1820s, and the activities of youth societies (Philomaths, Filarets, and ‘promieniści’ [‘Radiants’]).
The Inevitability of Absurdity, or Collective Trance in Boogie-woogie Rhythm: Tom Stoppard’s Play Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead on the Stage of the Old Theatre of Vilnius
Authors: Maliutina Natalia 
Published: December 2024

The review discusses aspects of unconventional stage interpretation of Tom Stoppard’s play Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead. The premiere, directed by Yuriy Butusov, took place in September 2023 at the Old Theatre of Vilnius. The play has been interpreted as an open text with numerous intertextual references. The action is organized in the form of separate numbers-scenes, often almost unrelated to each other: dialogues of characters referring to Shakespeare’s Hamlet, to Samuel Beckett’s absurdist drama Waiting for Godot, vocal and dance scenes, musical fragments, acrobatic tricks, performative methods of playing with requisites. The audience’s attention is focused on finding and establishing connections between different elements of the performance, which resembles postmodern bricolage. The symbolic imagery of the production evokes a number of contexts among which the most expressive are mystery-metaphysical and grotesque-visional ones.

Authors: Krajščáková Vĕra , Tomeček Jan 
Published: December 2024

The paper brings multiplicity results for a Dirichlet problem in one-dimensional billiard space with right-hand side depending on the velocity of the ball, i.e. a problem in the formx'' = f(t, x, x') if x(t) ∈ int K, x'(t+) = -x'(t-) if x(t) ∈ ∂K, x(0) = A, x(T) = B,where T > 0, K = [0, R], R > 0, f is a Carathéodory function on [0, T] × K × ℝ, A, B ∈ int K. Sufficient conditions ensuring the existence of at least two solutions having prescribed number of impacts with the boundary of the billiard table K are obtained. In particular, if the right-hand side has at most sublinear growth in the last variable, there exist infinitely many solutions of the problem.

Published: December 2024

In this paper, we proposed the performance measures of a Markovian queue with non-preemptive priority under transient conditions in a fuzzy environment. We study the transient performance measures of an FM/FM/1 queue with absolute priority. We analyze the characteristics of this model in a fuzzy environment by the L-R method of a fuzzy number A~=<m, a, b>_{LR}, where m, a, b are exponential functions of time—considering arrivals and services as triangular fuzzy numbers. The L-R method turns out to be very short and more practical compared to other methods, such as the DSW method (Dong, Shah and Wong), the α-cuts method, or the centroid method, because it allows us to obtain the membership functions, modal values, and supports of different performance measures and facilitates the graphical representation of the results obtained. A numerical example illustrates the validity of the method and the results obtained using it.Keywords: performance measures; non-preemptive priority; triangular fuzzy numbers; LR method. AbstrakPada artikel ini, kami mengusulkan ukuran kinerja antrian Markovian dengan prioritas non-preemptive dalam kondisi transien di lingkungan fuzzy.

Published: December 2024

Since a reliable internet signal has become an essential and significant need nowadays, the existence of modems as transmitters of internet signals is also crucial; modems transmit the internet signal (without cable), which is then captured by devices. This research aims to construct a mathematical model to determine the minimum number of modems and their placement so that the entire building FPMIPA-A of UPI has a good internet signal. In this research, we assume that the modem can pass through at most two walls, and the area studied is limited to the first floor of FPMIPA-A. The model is based on the illumination problems theorems, one of which states that every monotone 6-gon can be covered by a single 2-modem point placed at one of its two leftmost (or rightmost) vertices. By the theorem, we view the layout of the rooms in the building as a combination of polygons. The results show that 12 modems are required to cover all areas on the first floor of FPMIPA-A to get a good signal.Keywords: illumination problem; modem; polygonal regions; optimal modem placement; building FPMIPA A. AbstrakSaat ini, kebutuhan akan sinyal internet yang andal menjadi kebutuhan penting dan utama. Modem sebagai pemancar sinyal internet mengirimkan sinyal internet (tanpa kabel) dan kemudian ditangkap oleh perangkat. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk membangun model matematika yang menentukan jumlah minimum modem dan penempatannya agar seluruh gedung FPMIPA-A UPI mempunyai sinyal internet yang baik. Pada penelitian ini diasumsikan modem dapat menembus paling banyak dua dinding dan area yang diteliti dibatasi pada lantai 1 gedung FPMIPA-A UPI. Model matematika untuk masalah penempatan modem ini didasarkan pada teorema masalah iluminasi, yang salah satunya menyatakan bahwa setiap 6-gon monoton dapat ditutupi oleh satu titik 2-modem yang ditempatkan di salah satu dari dua simpul paling kiri (atau paling kanan). Berdasarkan teorema tersebut, tata ruang pada lantai 1 gedung FPMIPA-A UPI dipandang sebagai kombinasi poligon. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa dibutuhkan 12 modem untuk mencakup seluruh area di lantai 1 FPMIPA-A guna mendapatkan sinyal yang baik.

Agricultural Extension Practitioners' Use of Information Communication Tools in the Capricorn District, Limpopo, South Africa: A Perception Study
Authors: Afful D.B. , Mabena P.P. 
Published: December 2024

Perception is a critical concept in innovation adoption. Reports from the Limpopo Department of Agriculture and Rural Development indicate that agricultural extension practitioners (AEPs) do not use the full complement of Information, Communication and Technologies (ICTs) made available for their extension work. This can compromise the effectiveness of extension service delivery to farmers. This study applied the Düvel adoption behaviour analysis framework to help understand the AEPs' perceptions and use of ICTs made available to them for their work. Using a self-administered questionnaire and adopting a census approach, data was collected from the AEPs in two local municipalities of the Capricorn district. Data was analysed by descriptive statistics. The findings indicate that most AEPs have a favourable perception of the ICTs made available to them for their work. Furthermore, the study found factors that are incompatible with the present situation of AEPs that constrain the use of all the ICTs. These findings have important implications for delivering effective extension services to farmers. The study results also show that the Düvel behaviour analysis framework consistently yields results congruent with theoretical expectations. This enriches the extension theory. To solve incompatibility challenges, recommendations are made based on the findings.

Backround. A progress in Tcell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (TALL) treatment has been achieved in recent years by use a combination of riskadopted chemoradiation therapy, based on highdose (5000 mg/m2) methotrexate. A prerequisite for successful therapy is carefully follow supportive care principles and recommendations, which include blood serum methotrexate concentration monitoring, leucovorin rescue and alkaline solutions use for the best methotrexate elimination and decrease its toxic effects.Aim. To assess the effectiveness of ALL ICFM 2002 protocol based on highdose methotrexate for Tcell acute lymphoblastic leukemia.Materials and methods. From 2003 to 2023 in retroprospective study 67 patients with primary diagnosed TALL were enrolled. Median age was 7.4 years (from 0 to 18 years). All the patients were treated according to riskadopted ALL ICFM 2002 protocol. The therapy efficacy was assessed by overall (OS), eventfree (EFS) and relapsefree survival analysis. The survival rates were calculated with statistic program SSS 21.0 by Kaplan–Meier method.Results. The use of highdose methotrexate for TALL treatment in ALL ICFM 2002 protocol secure high survival rates: 10‑year OS was 82.5 ± 3 %, EFS – 79.3 ± 3 %. Analyzing OS and EFS depending on prognostic risk group we found that standard risk patients had OS and EFS 85.4 ± 6.9 and 78.4 ± 8 %, intermediate – 85.6 ± 6.7 and 82 ± 7.3 % and highrisk – 34.6 ± 18.3 and 20.8 ± 17.1 % respectively (р >0.05).Conclusion. ALL ICFM 2002 protocol for TALL includes highdose (5000 mg/m2) methotrexate is an effective for standard and intermediate risk patients, but for TALL patients with unfavorable prognostic factors it is necessary a therapy modification by additional cytotoxic and targeted options (nelarabine and daratumumab) inclusion and widening the indications for allogeneic stem cell transplantation.

Classical Hodgkin’s lymphoma (cHL) is a lymphoproliferative disease characterized by the presence of Hodgkin anderezovsky–Reed–Sternberg cells and a tumor microenvironment. Currently, much attention is paid to the microenvironment in cLH. A detailed understanding of the interaction between the tumor and its microenvironment opens up prospects for the cHL diagnosis and treatment. Innovative immunotherapeutic agents such as nivolumab make it possible to control and activate the immune response. Despite the high efficiency of standard protocols in young patients, therapy intensification is associated with organ toxicity and the development of secondary malignant neoplasms. At the same time, in elderly patients, the results of generally accepted antitumor treatment protocols should be considered suboptimal. In the last decade, the treatment of refractory cHL has improved significantly due to the use of immune checkpoint inhibitors.Taking into account the above, the priority issue in modern clinical hematology is to improve cHL treatment strategies not only in elderly but also in young patients by maintaining a balance between high efficacy and low toxicity. Moreover, the inclusion of nivolumab in first-line therapy is not only pathogenetically justified and effective, but also safe. The article presents data from clinical observations of the successful nivolumab use in combination with chemotherapy in patients with newly diagnosed cHL.
BLASTOCYSTIS HOMINIS INFECTION IN CHILDREN WITH HIV/AIDS DURING COVID-19 RELATED DISRUPTION ERA: A CROSS-SECTIONAL STUDY
Authors: Permasutha Made Bayu , Diptyanusa Ajib 
Published: December 2024

Introduction: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) epidemic has resulted in significant disruption to health services in multiple nations. In Indonesia, the impact occurred on changes in services for HIV/AIDS patients. As a result, there is a high rate of parasitic co-infection disease, including Blastocystis hominis. Prior research indicates that the occurrence of this illness varies greatly among individuals with HIV/AIDS, with rates ranging from 3.86% to 72.40%. Aims: The objective of this study is to ascertain the prevalence and molecular epidemiology of infection, develop a predictive model, and examine the correlation between clinical symptoms and the severity of Blastocystis results. Methods: Thirty-eight children with HIV/AIDS in Yogyakarta-Indonesia, from May until August 2021 were examined by direct examination, culture, PCR, and sequencing. In addition, a structured questionnaire was used to obtain additional data regarding baseline information and other factors influencing Blastocystis infection. The results obtained were subjected to phylogenetic, univariate and multivariate data analysis. Results: Out of the 38 samples studied, 26 (68.4%) were positive for Blastocystis. The results of sequencing demonstrated the finding of subtype 3 (ST3) and subtype 4 (ST4). From univariate and multivariate analysis, a longer duration of therapy is a predictor of Blastocystis infection (AOR 6.54, P=0.04). The relationship between clinical manifestations and intensity of Blastocystis findings showed a non-significant association (P>0.99). Conclusion: Children with HIV/AIDS had a significantly high incidence of Blastocystis infection, potentially attributed to the interruption of services resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic.

Abstract

Objective
To determine the determinants of the length of hospital stay (EH) of older adult patients with hip fractures in a hospital in the Lambayeque region of Peru during 2017–2019.
Material and methods
We conducted an observational study using secondary data analysis. The outcome variable was EH, measured in terms of days from admission to the hospitalization unit until discharge. The main independent variables were age, preoperative time, Functional Ambulation Category, cognitive status index (Red Cross Mental), Barthel index, comorbidities, geriatric syndromes, trauma diagnosis, reason for surgical delay, and preoperative complications.
Results
Of 399 patients, the minimum age recorded was 60 years, and the maximum age was 100 years, with 63.7% being predominantly female. In relation to EH, it was found that emergency and preoperative time resulted in a prolonged EH (p < 0.001). The crude model found that for each comorbidity, the EH increased by 1.35 days (p < 0.001), with multimorbidity adding 3.47 days to the EH (p = 0.007). Patients who required extensive walking assistance from another person had a 5.02-day reduction in their EH (p = 0.003). Increasing the number of geriatric syndromes increased EH by 0.97 days (p = 0.007). Patients who were waiting for a hospital bed experienced a 5.83-day reduction in EH (p = 0.009). In contrast, in the crude model, the preoperative time increased by 0.99 days to EH (p < 0.001). On the other hand, according to the adjusted model, for each additional day in preoperative time, an increase of 1.03 days in EH duration was observed (p < 0.001).
Conclusion
The average EH lasted 17 days, with preoperative time contributing to an increase in EH. Optimization of surgical intervention times and improved coordination between different hospital services, as well as proactive management of comorbidities and geriatric syndromes, could reduce the length of EH, improve the efficiency of the healthcare system, and reduce associated costs.
