Hybrid war on stage of Kyiv Mohyla Academy (1736—1737)
Authors: Ісіченко Архиєпископ Ігор 
Published: February 2020

During the 1736/1737 academic year, Mytrofan Dovhalevskyi taught a course in poetics at the Kyiv-Mohyla Academy. According to the rules of the time, he prepared two school dramas, the texts of which survived — for Christmas and Easter. Five interludes were set for each drama. In the 3rd interlude to the Christmas drama and the 5th interlude to the Easter drama, the plot is based on the confrontation of Liakh (Pole) and Zhyd (Jew), oppressing Belarusian and Ukrainian peasants, with Cossack. Moskal (Moscovite) is a powerful ally of the Cossack. The propaganda sense of both interludes is revealed in the context of political conflicts of that era. During 1733—1735 Stanisław Leszczyński, a former ally of Hetman Ivan Mazepa, led the war for the royal throne of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. Most Ukrainian lands were then part of the Commonwealth. The Russian empire introduced troops into the territory of the Commonwealth and put on the throne Stanisław Leszczyński’s rival August III. Ukrainian citizens of the Commonwealth were prompted by Russians to revolt against Polish authorities. The Haidamaky movement emerged which Russia promised to support. The Cossacks of Zaporizhzhia in 1734 betrayed Hetman Pylyp Orlyk and came under the jurisdiction of the Russian empress. The interludes to the Mytrofan Dovhalevskyi’s dramas form the ideological basis for Russian aggression and future division of the Commonwealth. They impose on the spectators the idea of oppressing Ukrainians and Belarusians by Poles, complementing it with anti-Semitic nuances. Cossacks are encouraged to engage in aggression, interpreted as a liberation mission. These trends, identified still in the Baroque literature, were used in 2014 by the Russian Federation for motivating its incursion into Ukraine. The modern terminology defines such trends with the concept of ‘hybrid war’.

Published: February 2020

The results of the study of electrolytes based on gel solutions of DMSO-PVDF-lithium salt with concentrations up to 0.05 m.f. and above 0.1 m.f. are presented. It is shown that the conductivity of electrolytes is close to the conductivity of lithium salt solutions in pure DMSO and obeys the Arrhenius equation in the studied range of temperatures and concentrations. The calculated activation energies for electrolytes with a salt concentration of up to 0.05 m.f. are 14–15.4 KJ/Mol, and for electrolytes with a salt concentration above 0.1 m.f. - 16.9–20.6 KJ/Mol indicate a fast ion transfer, which in more concentrated solutions is inhibited by an increase in their crystallinity. The analysis of the equivalent circuit models of the Li-Li systems electrochemical impedance spectra showed the tendency of electrolytes to form capacitive elements at the lithium electrode-electrolyte interface. It was recognized the presence of semi-infinite diffusion in LiClO4 and LiIm with salt concentration of 0.05 m.f., due to the imperfection of the film formed on the electrode surface. The efficiency of using DMSO-PVDF-lithium gel electrolytes on steel and platinum electrodes was analyzed by voltammograms.

A crise política, social e econômica que a Venezuela enfrenta hoje é o resultado da ação de uma série de fatores políticos, geopolíticos e econômicos, que influenciam e se manifestam de forma decisiva na saúde e no futuro de sua indústria petrolífera. que conseguiu gerar mais de 90% de sua renda externa e que, por esse motivo, mantém por nove décadas uma sociedade viciada em alavancagem externa e incapaz de desenvolver uma economia produtiva autônoma. Este trabalho enfoca a análise dos determinantes da involução da indústria do petróleo, alguns dos quais têm seus determinantes externos, no cenário geopolítico do século passado e presente, mas outros, a meu ver, fundamentais, que têm É o produto de políticas econômicas e de gestão, específicas para esse setor industrial. Em particular, trato das críticas ao planejamento petrolífero venezuelano que começa a ser elaborado após a “reversão” à Nação, em 1976, das concessões concedidas a empresas internacionais pelo desenvolvimento da atividade petrolífera desde 1908. Um planejamento de mundos ilusórios, baseado em uma percepção errônea das circunstâncias naturais que determinaram o maior acúmulo de petróleo extra pesado no mundo em nosso país. Um planejamento no qual eles continuam a influenciar, mesmo a partir dos postos de comando da indústria "nacionalizada", os interesses do capital internacional do petróleo e suas respectivas metrópoles.

Low-Error Reconfigurable Fixed-Width Multiplier for Image Processing Applications
Authors: S Sivanantham , JEYAKUMAR Jean Jenifer Nesam 
Published: February 2020

Compensating the error using additional circuitry is mandatory in a low-error fixed-width multiplier. Instead of compensating the error, reconfiguring n-bit fixed-width multiplier to n/2-bit error-free full-width multiplier using decomposed multiplication is proposed in this paper. The decomposed block multiplication using an area-efficient New Bit Pair Recoding (NBPR) algorithm in fixed-width mode shows a relatively lesser truncation error than existing truncated multipliers. Reconfigurable 16x16 NBPR multiplier in three different modes (8x8, 16x8,16x16) with a fixed 16-bit product is verified on the TSMC 65nm CMOS standard cell library. The experimental results show that the NBPR multiplier consumes a lesser area than standard Booth multipliers. Evaluating the proposed multiplier in imaging shows improved PSNR with minimal error compared to other fixed-width multipliers

Have We Got the Right Patient? Patient Safety, Patient Identification and the Secret Life of Porters
Authors: Sivalingam Rajhkumar , Et al.  
Published: February 2020

Rajhkumar Sivalingam, Joanne Kitchin, Peter McCulloch
Background
Several serious adverse events (SIRIs) have occurred in OUH involving porters transferring the wrong patient. The Patient Safety Academy (PSA) were asked to identify the causes of these incidents. They evaluated the patient transfer process in OUH using a Human Factors approach, aiming to identify:

the causes of PPID errors during patient transfer
Potential solutions.

Methods
Ethnographic observation was conducted focusing on two areas:

The interactions between porters, medical staff and patients
The types of PPID (Positive Patient Identification) sources used, how often, and by whom.

Porters were shadowed in 34 patient transfers: 12 in the main hospital and 22 in the Emergency Department (ED). Process maps and swim lane diagrams were used to analyse data. Based on this analysis potential areas for improvement were identified, and recommendations made.
Results
We discovered that porters have no official responsibility to identify patients. The information they receive is inadequate especially in ED and when patient transfers are assigned via radio. There is no clear evidence of porters undergoing any systematic training or induction. Though nurses have responsibility for PPID, their role is not clearly defined, and in many instances not performed. Confidentiality requirements contribute to a risk of miscommunication between porter’s office and ward staff during the request for a patient transfer by phone.
Implications
Action is required to train porters in PPID and integrate it into their work, and to clarify nurse roles in PPID for transfer. Better means of communication for transfer requests are proposed.
Positron emission tomography-magnetic resonance liver parenchyma attenuation correction artifact in secondary hemochromatosis
Authors: Matthews Robert , Salerno Michael Joseph , Vaska Paul , Hindman Halley 
Published: February 2020

AbstractPositron emission tomography-magnetic resonance (PET-MR) hybrid imaging is a relatively new imaging modality combining the superb MR contrast capabilities among different soft-tissue structures with the high sensitivity of PET functional imaging. With the development of any new technology, a variety of limitations will be encountered including the introduction of new types of artifacts. In this case report, we present a restaging PET-MR scan for multiple myeloma that showed severely decreased fluorodeoxyglucose activity in the liver on the PET attenuated corrected images. Careful analysis showed the cause of the decreased activity to be the improper density assignment on the mu map caused by iron deposition within the liver. Follow-up imaging showed reversal of the phenomena following improvement of liver disease.

Abstract
18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography-computed tomography-derived metabolic parameters can play a role in prognostication. We investigated the prognostic value of various metabolic parameters such as maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax), mean SUV (SUVmean), whole-body metabolic tumor volume (WBMTV), and whole-body total lesion glycolysis (WBTLG) in surgically resected non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. We retrospectively reviewed 153 patients with NSCLC who underwent surgical resection. The SUVmax, SUVmean, WBMTV, and WBTLG of the tumor were measured. Continuous PET parameters were stratified by receiver operating characteristic curve analysis. Prognostic factors were estimated using the Kaplan–Meier method and Cox proportional hazards model. The median follow-up was 36.9 months. Fifty-six patients died and 78 patients had recurrence. On univariate analysis, tumor-node-metastasis (TNM) stage; male sex; no adjuvant treatment; and higher SUVmax, SUVmean, WBMTV, and WBTLG were statistically significant and were associated with poor overall survival (OS). TNM stage; no adjuvant treatment; and higher SUVmax, SUVmean, WBMTV, and WBTLG were statistically significant and were associated with poor disease-free survival (DFS). On multivariate analysis, higher WBTLG (hazard ratio [HR] = 3.08, P = 0.007) for DFS and higher WBTLG (HR = 2.70, P = 0.041) and TNM staging (HR = 1.63, P = 0.035) for OS were statistically significant. Whole-body tumor burden assessment with TLG has independent prognostic value in patients with operated lung cancer. Incorporation of TLG into clinical practice can identify patients benefitted from additional therapy.
Failure of iodine uptake in microscopic pulmonary metastases after recombinant human thyroid-stimulating hormone stimulation
Authors: Lawhn-Heath Courtney , Flavell Robert , Chuang Eunice , Liu Chienying 
Published: February 2020

AbstractElevated thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) is required when preparing for radioactive iodine therapy in patients with differentiated thyroid cancer. Recombinant human TSH (rhTSH: Thyrogen; Genzyme Corporation, Cambridge, MA) avoids hypothyroidism and has been commonly used in place of thyroid hormone withdrawal (THW) in this process. We describe a 31-year-old woman with sclerosing variant of papillary thyroid cancer with multiple lymph node metastases and elevated postoperative thyroglobulin suggesting the presence of distant metastases, who was found to have miliary pulmonary metastases on the posttherapy I-131 scan after THW, but not visible on the post therapy scan after rhTSH preparation.
Acute urinary obstruction during 99mTc-ethylenedicysteine diuretic renal scintigraphy acquisition: Is furosemide the culprit?
Authors: Vadi Shelvin Kumar , Bhattacharya Anish , Sood Ashwani , Mittal Bhagwant Rai 
Published: February 2020

Abstract
99mTc-ethylenedicysteine (99mTc-EC) diuretic renal scintigraphy is an established, safe, and noninvasive study to evaluate relative renal function and drainage. We present a known case of bilateral renal stone disease who presented with acute urinary obstruction detected intraprocedurally on 99mTc-EC diuretic renography. He was managed subsequently with emergency double J stenting. The development of acute obstruction intraprocedurally in this patient may be resultant of forced diuresis caused by furosemide, dislodging the renal stones in the distal ureters. In the setting of renal calculi, cautious use of furosemide with watchful monitoring may be needed to see for the development of obstruction and manage accordingly.

Published: February 2020

PurposeThe objective of the study was to analyse the effects of post-activation potentiation induced by single- and multijoint maximal voluntary isometric contractions (MVIC) on squat jump performance.MethodsOverall, 13 resistance-training males volunteered to participate in the study. Isometric knee extension exercise was chosen to represent single-joint MVIC (MVIC_SJ) and isometric squat to represent multi-joint MVIC (MVIC_MJ). Four experimental protocols were implemented in a randomized order on different days as follows: P1: squat jump performed
before and 3 minutes after MVIC_MJ; P2: squat jump performed before and 7 minutes after MVIC_MJ; P3: squat jump performed before and 3 minutes after MVIC_SJ; P4: squat jump performed before and 7 minutes after MVIC_SJ. Jump height, mean power output, peak power output, net impulse, and electromyographic activity of lower limbs were analysed in squat jump before and after the interventions.ResultsANOVA showed that peak power output increased in P1 (<i>p</i> = 0.04). No difference was found for electromyographic activity in any of the protocols.ConclusionsWe concluded that MVIC_MJ performed 3 minutes before the main task (P1) was more effective than MVIC_SJ in optimizing squat jump performance and that the changes in performance were unrelated to muscle activation.
Determining the Plio-Quaternary uplift of the southern French Massif Central; a new insight for intraplate orogen dynamics
Authors: Malcles Oswald , Vernant Philippe , Chéry Jean , Camps Pierre , Cazes Gaël , Ritz Jean-François , Fink David 
Published: February 2020

Abstract. The evolution of intraplate orogens is still poorly understood. Yet, it
is of major importance for understanding the Earth and plate dynamics, as
well as the link between surface and deep geodynamic processes. The French
Massif Central is an intraplate orogen with a mean elevation of 1000 m, with
the highest peak elevations ranging from 1500 to 1885 m. However, active
deformation of the region is still debated due to scarce evidence either
from geomorphological or geodetic and seismologic data. We focus our study
on the southern part of the Massif Central, known as the Cévennes and
Grands Causses, which is a key area to study the relationship between the
recent geological deformation and landscape evolution. This can be done
through the study of numerous karst systems with trapped sediments combined
with the analysis of a high-resolution digital elevation model (DEM). Using the ability of karst to durably record morphological evolution, we
first quantify the incision rates. We then investigate tilting of
geomorphological benchmarks by means of a high-resolution DEM. We finally
use the newly quantified incision rates to constrain numerical models and
compare the results with the geomorphometric study. We show that absolute burial age (10Be∕26Al on quartz cobbles) and
the paleomagnetic analysis of karstic clay deposits for multiple cave system
over a large elevation range correlate consistently. This correlation
indicates a regional incision rate of 83 +17/-5 m Ma−1 during the
last ca. 4 Myr (Pliocene–Quaternary). Moreover, we point out through the
analysis of 55 morphological benchmarks that the studied region has
undergone a regional southward tilting. This tilting is expected as being
due to a differential vertical motion between the northern and southern part of
the studied area. Numerical models show that erosion-induced isostatic rebound can explain up
to two-thirds of the regional uplift deduced from the geochronological
results and are consistent with the southward tilting derived from
morphological analysis. We presume that the remaining unexplained uplift is
related to dynamic topography or thermal isostasy due to the Massif Central
Pliocene–Quaternary magmatism. Integrating both geochronology and morphometrical results into
lithospheric-scale numerical models allows a better understanding of this
intraplate–orogen evolution and dynamic. We assume that the main conclusions
are true to the general case of intraplate deformation. That is to say, once
the topography has been generated by a triggering process, rock uplift is
then enhanced by erosion and isostatic adjustment leading to a significant
accumulation of mainly vertical deformation.

Published: December 2024

ObjectiveElectronic health applications (apps) allow patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) to report patient‐reported outcomes (PROs) between visits. However, almost no data exist on patients’ report of pain between visits and how that correlates with change in function and/or modifications to medication.MethodsPatients with RA from one rheumatology practice provided data as part of a study of an app. Patients answered PRO short forms using the app, including the Patient‐Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System pain interference and physical function questionnaires. Each PRO was answered every eight days. We assessed the frequency of significant worsening in pain using the minimally clinically important difference (MCID) of ≥5 points. Logistic regression assessed whether worsening in pain was associated with functional declines and/or RA medication changes.ResultsAmong 150 patients with RA using the app, 83 patients qualified for analysis; the mean age was 62 years, and 82% were female. The median number of pain interference PROs answered per patient was 37 over 52 weeks. Using the first five pain interference PRO responses as the baseline, 60 (72%) patients experienced worsening of at least the MCID, with a median duration of 16 days. The odds ratio (OR) relating significantly worsening pain to declines in function over the next 42 days was 2.71 (95% confidence interval [CI] 1.12–6.89). Worsening pain was not significantly associated with changes to RA medication (OR 1.59, 95% CI 0.62–4.17).ConclusionClinically significant increases in pain among patients with RA are commonly associated with reductions in function but not with RA medication changes.
