Types of substance use and predictors of substance use disorders in patients suffering from psychiatric disorders - A cross sectional study
Authors: Ahmed Jaafar Omer 
Published: December 2024

Background:
The types of substances used by psychiatric patients in Iraq and the Middle East vary from other areas of the world. In this region, patients mostly use prescribed drugs.

Aim:
This study aimed to investigate the types of substance use disorder (SUD) and their correlates among psychiatric patients in the Kurdistan region.

Materials and Methods:
The study was conducted on patients, who visited outpatient psychiatric consultation units in the Kurdistan region of Iraq within 6 months. In this study, two hundred fifty (250) adult patients of both genders diagnosed with psychiatric disorders were included.

Results:
Alcohol use disorder was diagnosed in 10 (4%) of cases; after that, the most commonly used substances were benzodiazepine and trihexyphenidyl, each of them positive in 7 (2.8%) of cases, followed by opiates in 4 (1.6%) cases and poly substances in 2 (0.8%) of the cases. The correlates of SUDs included male gender, divorced person, higher educational level, and being employed.

Conclusion:
Psychiatric patients mostly use prescribed medications, especially benzodiazepines and trihexyphenidyl. Future research will be required to study the comorbidity between psychiatric disorders and SUDs in various groups and different settings.

Published: December 2024

Background:
Efficacy data on nonpharmacotherapy-based interventions such as cognitive retraining and mindfulness meditation on improving neuropsychological functioning in early Alzheimer’s disease (AD) are sparse in Indian literature.

Objective:
The objective of the study was to quantify the effect of cognitive retraining (CR) versus mindfulness training (MT) on neuropsychological test performance in patients with early AD.

Methods and Materials:
We administered CR and MT strategies in two prospectively enrolled groups of individuals (N = 34) who met the criteria for mild cognitive impairment (MCI) due to AD. Inclusion was based on patient choice and informed consent. One group of 20 patients was imparted supervised CR, and the other group included 14 patients who opted for MT as open-labeled interventions, with group allocation based on participant choice.

Results:
Paired t test was performed with assessment of baseline and postintervention neuropsychological scores of CR and MT groups. The CR group revealed significant improvement on scores at 3 months (P < 0.05) for Addenbrooke’s Cognitive Examination (ACE) subcomponents, particularly total score, memory, visuospatial, and language subscores as well as on Clinical Dementia Rating (CDR) scale. The MT group showed no significant differences on these tests post-intervention with a trend toward improvement on recall scores, and none of the other test scores demonstrated a declining trend.

Conclusions:
This proof-of-concept study demonstrated significant benefit of CR in improving neuropsychological test performance in patients with MCI due to AD and need to be studied in long-term, multicenter, randomized controlled trials in harmonized groups of patients with MCI and early AD.
Primary Gliosarcoma: A 15-Year Experience at a Tertiary Care Center

Published: December 2024

Introduction:
Gliosarcomas (GSM) are rare intracranial tumors composed of both glial and mesenchymal components. Given the rarity of the condition, there is limited literature on their clinical, radiological, pathological features, and treatment modalities.

Methods:
Histopathologically confirmed cases of gliosarcomas were retrospectively analyzed. Based on the intraoperative macroscopic descriptions, patients were subdivided into two groups: tumors resembling meningioma and tumors resembling glioblastoma. Clinicoradiological presentations, characteristic pathological features, therapeutic modalities, and the survival of patients with gliosarcoma were analyzed.

Results:
Twenty-five patients (17 males and 8 females) were retrospectively analyzed in this study. The mean age of presentation was 45.8 + 11.7 years, while the mean duration of symptoms was 2 months. The most common site of the tumor was frontal lobe. All the patients underwent maximal safe resections. Postoperative radiotherapy was received by all 25 patients. Sixteen patients received concurrent and adjuvant chemotherapy with temozolomide.
The median survival was 11 months (range: 4–42 months). Patients with tumors mimicking a meningioma (intraoperatively) had better survival than patients with glioblastoma-like features (P < 0.01).

Conclusion:
Our study supports the presence of two distinct types of GSM: one which is similar to glioblastoma multiforme and another which resembles more of meningioma. Good surgical excision is a favorable prognostic factor for the outcome of GSM. Gliosarcoma which resembles meningioma has got better survival outcome compared to the one that resembles glioblastoma.
Line Bundles on The First Drinfeld Covering
Authors: Taylor James 
Published: December 2024

Let $\Omega^d$ be the $d$-dimensional Drinfeld symmetric space for a finite extension $F$ of $\mathbb{Q}_p$. Let $\Sigma^1$ be a geometrically connected component of the first Drinfeld covering of $\Omega^d$ and let $\mathbb{F}$ be the residue field of the unique degree $d+1$ unramified extension of $F$. We show that the natural homomorphism determined by the second Drinfeld covering from the group of characters of $(\mathbb{F}, +)$ to $\text{Pic}(\Sigma^1)[p]$ is injective. In particular, $\text{Pic}(\Sigma^1)[p] \neq 0$. We also show that all vector bundles on $\Omega^1$ are trivial, which extends the classical result that $\text{Pic}(\Omega^1) = 0$.Comment: v3: final published version
Refonologización de vocales /e/ - /o/ de palabras españolas al sistema vocálico del quechua en canciones quechuas
Authors: Zela Vera Aide , Palomino Gonzales Niel 
Published: December 2024

La presente investigación tiene como propósito describir y explicar el proceso de refonologización de las vocales fuertes /e/ - /o/ del castellano a las débiles /i/ - /u/ del quechua en las canciones quechuas más famosas de la región Cuzco. Para ello, se ha seleccionado un corpus después de escuchar dichas canciones, luego se ha transcrito las letras según la escritura normalizada del quechua y se ha identificado los vocablos castellanos quechuizados. Los resultados fueron: en todos los casos, las vocales “e” – “o” del castellano se han refonologizado al “i”, “u” del quechua. De la misma manera, los grupos silábicos de los términos castellanos prestados se han monoptonguizado todos. La conclusión principal a la cual hemos arribado es que, esto se debe a que ambas lenguas en contacto tienen diferente sistema y cantidad vocálica. Esto es, el español registra cinco fonemas vocálicos: a – e – i – o – u y el quechua solo tres: a – i – u. Esta refonologización será útil para establecer una escritura quechua más auténtica.

Palabras clave: adaptación lingüística, refonologización, sistema vocálico del quechua, canciones quechuas del Cuzco.
Ideología colonial y colonialista en la novela El hablador de Mario Vargas Llosa
Authors: Palomino Gonzales Niel Agripino 
Published: December 2024

El fin primordial de la presente investigación es identificar y exponer la ideología colonial y colonialista en la novela El hablador de Mario Vargas Llosa. Para ello, recurrimos al Análisis Crítico del Discurso, método propuesto por el lingüista Teun van Dijk. El mismo que está enmarcado dentro del paradigma cualitativo. Desde esta perspectiva metodológica, se analizó la obra literaria referida según las características y agentes de la colonialidad. El resultado principal es que en la novela El hablador hay evidencias de la presencia de la ideología de la colonialidad del poder, saber y ser. La conclusión principal es que MVLl recurre a la ficción para justificar la implementación, en el Perú, del neoliberalismo y su política extractivista y depredadora de la Amazonía en nombre de ciertos conceptos como civilización, progreso y desarrollo, pero únicamente de las grandes transnacionales y no de las poblaciones originarias de la selva peruana.
Программный модуль прогнозирования плановой потребности в медицинской продукции
Authors: Крыжановский В. Д. 
Published: December 2024

данная статья посвящена оценке достаточности имеющихся данных для факторного анализа с целью создания формулы плановой потребности в рамках годовой заявки с целью снижения трудовых затрат персонала. Для реализации использовался язык программирования C# и средства Microsoft Excel. В наборе данных рассматриваются такие данные, как численность льготополучателей региона, страдающих сахарным диабетом, среднегодовое изменение такой численности, количество получаемого препарата, половой состав пациентов, страдающих диабетом, их возрастной состав и количество пациентов, разделенных на три группы по количеству льготных категорий: с одной категорией, двумя категориями и тремя и более категориями. В работе используются упрощения, не оказывающие существенного влияния на получаемые значения в силу специфики предметной области. Полученные результаты указывают на перспективность реализации данного метода, планируется создание и обучение нейронной сети для формирования более точных формул расчета плановой потребности. Также сделан вывод о необходимости изучить вопрос автоматизированного создания модели для факторного анализа с целью проверки качества текущей модели. Для позиций, имеющих достаточный объем данных для обучения нейронной сети, эффективно предсказывающей плановую потребность, имеет смысл использовать ее, а не рассматриваемое решение.
this study evaluates the sufficiency of available data for factor analysis to develop an equation for calculating planned annual requirements, aiming to reduce labor costs. The implementation uses C# and Microsoft Excel. The dataset includes such variables as the number of patients with diabetes mellitus in the region, the average annual change in their numbers, the number of drugs received, the gender and age of the patients, and the distribution of patients into three categories of government benefits they are entitled to. Simplifications are applied where they do not significantly impact the results. The findings highlight the potential of this approach. We are going to develop and train a neural network to obtain more precise equations. The study also emphasizes the need to explore automated model creation for factor analysis to assess the current model’s quality. For cases where sufficient data is available to train a neural network that reliably predicts planned requirements, adopting neural network solutions is recommended over the current approach.

Published: December 2024

выполнена оценка эффективности использования алгоритма Шварца в комбинации с энергетическим методом граничных состояний (МГС) на каждом шаге итерационного процесса в сравнении с «прямым» использованием МГС для двухполостного упругого тела. Оценена экономия временных затрат на проведение расчетов и обнаружен высокий уровень сходимости в трехмерном случае. Комбинированный метод использован для решения задачи об оценке пределов возможной локализации сферической полости в биконусном теле при фиксированном варианте нагружения по поверхности. Сделаны выводы.
we estimated the efficiency of the Schwartz method combined with the energy-based method of boundary states (MBS) at each step of the iterative process and compared it with the direct application of MBS to a two-cavity elastic body analysis. We found better computational performance and a high level of convergence in the 3D case. The combined approach was used to estimate the limits of possible localization of a spherical cavity in a biconical body in a given surface load case.

Abstract. The Land Use/Cover Area frame Survey (LUCAS) of the European Union (EU) presents a rich resource for detailed understanding of land cover and use, making it invaluable for Earth observation (EO) applications. This paper discusses the recent enhancements and improvements in the LUCAS Copernicus module, particularly the data collection process of 2022, its protocol simplifications, and geometry definitions compared to the 2018 survey and data. With approximately 150 000 polygons collected in 2022, an increase from 60 000 in 2018, the LUCAS Copernicus 2022 data provide a unique and comprehensive in situ dataset for EO applications. The protocol simplification also facilitates a faster and more efficient data collection process. In 2022, there were 137 966 polygons generated out of the original 149 408 LUCAS Copernicus points, which means that 92.3 % of the points were actually surveyed. The data have 82 land cover classes for the Copernicus module that map to 88 classes up to the LUCAS level-3 legend. For land use the data have 40 classes, along with 18 classes of land use types. The dataset is available for download (product IDentification – PID: http://data.europa.eu/89h/e3fe3cd0-44db-470e-8769-172a8b9e8874; European Commission, 2023). The paper elaborates further on the implications of these enhancements and the need for continuous harmonization to ensure semantic consistency and temporal usability of data across different periods. Moreover, it calls for additional studies exploring the potential of the collected data, especially in the context of remote sensing and computer vision. It ends with a discussion of future data usage and dissemination strategies.

Published: December 2024

Abstract. Urban observation networks are becoming denser, more diverse, and more mobile, while being required to provide results in near time. The Synergy Grant “urbisphere” funded by the European Research Council (ERC) has multiple simultaneous field campaigns in cities of different sizes, collecting data to improve weather and climate models and services, including assessing the impact of cities on the atmosphere (e.g., heat, moisture, pollutant, and aerosol emissions) and people's exposure to extremes (e.g., heat waves, heavy precipitation, air pollution episodes). Here, a solution to this challenge for facilitating diverse data streams from multiple sources, scales (e.g., indoors, regional-scale atmospheric boundary layer), and cities is presented. For model development and evaluation in heterogeneous urban environments, we need meshed networks of in situ observations with ground-based and airborne (remote) sensing platforms. In this contribution we describe challenges, approaches, and solutions for data management, data infrastructure, and data governance to handle the variety of data streams from primarily novel modular observation networks deployed in multiple cities, in combination with existing data collected by partners, ranging in scale from indoor sensor deployments to regional-scale boundary layer observations. A metadata system documents (1) sensors and instruments, (2) the location and configuration of deployed components, and (3) maintenance and events. This metadata system provides the backbone for converting instrument records to calibrated, location-aware, convention-aligned, and quality-assured data products, according to FAIR (findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable) principles. The data management infrastructure provides services (via, e.g., Application Programming Interface – APIs, apps, integrated computing interfaces – ICEs) for data inspection and subsequent calculations by campaign participants. Some near-real-time distributions are made to international networks (e.g., AERONET, PhenoCam) or local agencies (e.g., GovDATA) with appropriate attribution. The data documentation conventions, used to ensure structured datasets, in this case are used to improve the delivery of integrated urban services, such as to research and operational agencies, across many cities.
The Gulf States’ Decade
Authors: Samaan Jean-Loup 
Published: December 2024

ABSTRACT
The books by Dina Esfandiary, Cinzia Bianco, and Tobias Borck delve into the shift in Gulf politics over the past decade. This change saw in particular Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Qatar playing a more prominent role in regional affairs, which was influenced by the Arab Spring uprisings and Gulf states’ concerns over American commitments to regional security.
The books also highlight the diverging foreign policies of Gulf states, challenging the notion of a unified Gulf entity, as reflected by the 2017 boycott of Qatar. The dynamics of Gulf assertiveness is a central theme in these analyses, with the UAE exemplifying a more proactive and interventionist foreign policy approach. However, recent developments suggest a recalibration of foreign policies by Gulf states, with a renewed focus on economic cooperation and regional de-escalation. The once tense relations between Gulf states have thawed, hinting at a period of optimism and reduced regional tensions. However, as the authors point out, one needs to be cautious on the long-term implications of this recent rapprochement.

Postmodern Temporality in Italo Calvino's Invisible Cities
Authors: Panigrahi Sambit 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
Italo Calvino's treatment of time and temporality is one of the major aspects of his fictional writing. One of his most successful novels Invisible Cities, though famous for its containment of the writer's neorealist experimentations, still deals with the notion of time and temporality. It is evidently seen from Marco's inability to provide to his recounted stories a coherent chronological pattern. We can recurrently notice, during the narration, a continual blurring between the traditional distinctions between past, present and future in a scenario where they overlap into each other such that these temporal zones remain potentially indistinguishable. This overarching theme of many of Calvino's writings, though has been recognized in the past in the form of mainly passing references, particularly in the context of Invisible Cities, still needs more critical attention through the new and innovative theoretical templates offered by postmodernism. Based on these premises, this article intends to examine how Calvino in this novel showcases his decisive break from the traditional notion of chronological time and completely adheres to the non-chronological temporal theories offered by postmodernism.

A doença de Alzheimer (DA) é um distúrbio neurodegenerativo que progride ao longo do tempo, impactando a memória, as habilidades e o comportamento de um indivíduo. O declínio cognitivo é tipicamente observado, levando a sintomas neuropsiquiátricos e alterações no comportamento. Em estágios posteriores, a doença dificulta a capacidade de realizar tarefas diárias básicas, como tomar banho ou comer sem assistência. Geralmente, os sintomas surgem lentamente e se desenvolvem progressivamente ao longo de vários anos. Embora tenha havido um progresso científico significativo, uma cura para a doença permanece indefinida. No entanto, existem tratamentos que podem controlar os sintomas e melhorar o bem-estar geral e a qualidade de vida. O estudo teve como objetivo descrever o papel do enfermeiro no cuidado do paciente com alzheimer. Trata-se de um estudo de revisão integrativa da literatura, com artigos escolhidos nas seguintes bases de dados: SciELO LILACS e PubMed. Os critérios de inclusão consistiram em artigos publicados de 2016 a 2024, em português, apresentando uma amostra de profissionais de enfermagem que oferecem serviços de cuidado e monitoramento a indivíduos com doença de alzheimer. Conclui-se que a equipe de enfermagem, ao cuidar de pacientes idosos afetados pela doença de Alzheimer e seus desafios relacionados, é capaz de reconhecer problemas e realizar intervenções apropriadas para aliviar ou tratar os sintomas associados à condição.
