Thoracic dorsal arachnoid web with rapid onset of symptoms: A report of two cases and brief review of the literature
Authors: Hines Tripp , Wang Catherine , Duttlinger Christine , Thompson Jay , Watford Kevin , Motley Benjamin , Wheeler Greg 
Published: July 2021

Background:
Thoracic arachnoid webs are a rare entity and can be challenging to diagnose with sometimes subtle radiographic findings. Arachnoid webs can cause severe cord compression with associated syrinx and resulting myelopathy, weakness, sensory loss, and bowel/bladder dysfunction. There have been a little over 60 cases total reported in the literature with only one systematic review. The cases presented here have unique features including rapid onset of symptoms, symptomatic syrinx extending into the cervical spine, and intraoperative syrinx drainage, all of which are quite rare in the current published literature for arachnoid webs.

Case Description:
Here, we present two patients, a 73-year-old man and 58-year-old man presenting with different symptoms and timing of symptom progression but both with “scalpel sign” and associated syrinx present on their MRIs. Each patient underwent a laminectomy with resection of arachnoid web with complete resolution of symptoms in the first case and significant improvement in the second case. Postoperative imaging in both cases showed almost complete resolution of the syrinx.

Conclusion:
Early clinical evaluation and workup followed by early surgical treatment can lead to dramatic improvement in outcomes after surgery. For patients that are symptomatic from an associated syrinx, a midline myelotomy to facilitate drainage can be considered to be done concomitantly with the arachnoid web resection.
The last decade’s experience of management of central neurocytomas: Treatment strategies and new options

Published: July 2021

Background:
The purpose of the presented work is to evaluate the last decade’s experience in surgical management of central neurocytoma (CN) and elucidate on the treatment strategies and new options.

Methods:
The current series consists of the remaining 125 patients (70 females and 55 males) operated on during the past decade from 2008 to 2018. Most tumors were resected through transcortical (n = 76, 61%), or transcallosal (n = 40, 32%) approaches. In 5 (4%) patients with predominantly posterior location of the tumor, non-dominant superior parietal lobule approach was utilized. Both approaches (transcortical + transcallosal) were used in 4 (3%) of cases. Seven consecutive patients with large CN underwent prophylactic intraventricular stenting to prevent hydrocephalus.

Results:
Gross total resection was achieved in 45 patients (36%), subtotal resection (STR) in 40 (32%) cases. After surgery, 63 (50%) patients had neurocognitive problems, including disorientation, attention deficit, global amnesia, short-term memory deficits, and perceptual motor and social cognition problems. A total of 26 patients (21%) had postoperative hemorrhage in the resection bed. Obstructive hydrocephalus was noted in 25 (20%) patients. The entrapment of the occipital and/or temporal horns was observed in seven cases. None of the seven patients with prophylactic intraventricular stents required shunting.

Conclusion:
Although high rates of gross total or STR can be expected, the mortality and morbidity remain significant even in the modern neurosurgical era. Prophylactic intraventricular stenting in patients with large posteriorly located tumors with hydrocephalus may prevent ventricular entrapment and shunting. The main risk factors for recurrence are presence of residual disease and Ki-67 index over 5%. Recurrent symptomatic tumors should be treated surgically, whereas asymptomatic progression can be managed with stereotactic radiosurgery. Both treatment modalities are associated with low risk of complications and high tumor control rates.

Published: July 2021

Background:
Traumatic cerebrovascular injury may result in epidural hematoma (EDH) from laceration of the middle meningeal artery (MMA), which is a potentially life-threatening emergency. Treatment ranges from surgical evacuation to conservative management based on a variety of clinical and imaging factors.

Case Description:
A 14-year-old male presented to our institution after falling from his bicycle with traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage and a right frontotemporal EDH. The patient did not meet criteria for surgical evacuation and endovascular embolization of the right MMA was performed. Rapid resolution of the EDH was observed.

Conclusion:
This case corroborates the sparse existing literature for the potential role of endovascular embolization to treat acute EDH in carefully selected patients who do not meet or have borderline indications for surgical management.

Published: July 2021

The main aim of this study is to assess the effect of three different types of exercises on Irisin hormone level, body fat, visceral fat, BMI and lipid profile in sports practitioners. The experimental approach was used to conduct the study. A 66 healthy male sport practitioners were participated in this study and divided into three experimental groups, each group consist of 22 subjects, the first group performed aerobic exercises (AE), the second group performed anaerobic exercises (AnE), and the third group, performed resistance exercises (RE). Before entering their experimental program, the three groups conducted the beep test for determining the VO2max for each participant, and then the blood samples were taken from each participant. Thereafter, the three groups entered the training program for eight weeks 3 times/week. After ending the training programs, the three groups conducted the beep test again for determining the VO2max, and the blood samples were taken from the participants. All statistical data analyses were performed using SPSS version 25. For checking the differences between the pre-test for all groups one-way ANOVA with Post Hok-Tukey was conducted, and the same for the post-test variables. Comparisons between pre-test and post-test within one type of exercise were performed by the paired sample t-test. The three types of exercise for the sport practitioners after participating in intervention for 8 weeks’ program were effective. Interestingly, the sport exercises were found to have a great effect on increasing Irisin serum level and decrease the bod fat, visceral fat and BMI following the three type of exercise. It was found that resistance exercises are more effective to increase the level of Irisin hormone than aerobic and anaerobic exercises.

Authors: Khudoliy Anatoliy 
Published: July 2021

The article deals with the policy of the United States of America, Peoples’ Republic of China (PRC) and the Russian Federation in the Asia-Pacific Region. Leadership ambitions of the countries became evident in political, economic, military, technological and space spheres especially over the last few years.
The purpose of the article is to analyze American-Chinese and Russian-Chinese relationships in the Asia-Pacific and identify reasons for their foreign policy course. Both countries, China and the USA are eager to play leader’s part in the regional politics. The relationships between the PRC and the United States significantly deteriorated, especially during D. Trump presidency.
The author draws attention to the US policy and its attempts to strengthen its own positions in the region as well as to China’s economic activity reflected in transport projects, for instance – One Belt, One Road initiative, perceived by Washington as a challenge to its leader’s position. Tensions between two countries increased due to aggressive regional policy of China which claimed sovereignty over few small islands in the South China Sea. Beijing and Washington compete for leadership in the sphere of technology where China is ahead of the USA.
Еволюція публічної дипломатії НАТО
Authors: Zvezdova Olesia , Mokryak Alona 
Published: July 2021

У сучасних умовах публічна дипломатія стає важливим структурним компонентом стратегії провідних акторів світової політики, до числа яких належить Організація Північноатлантичного договору (НАТО). Можна виділити кілька періодів, для кожного з яких характерні свій блок цілей і завдань публічної дипломатії, спрямованість їх розвитку відповідно до еволюції стратегічних установок блоку як моделі забезпечення колективної безпеки, такі як період холодної війни, період безпосередньо після закінчення холодної війни (або «період партнерства і співпраці» за термінологією НАТО) і період глобалізації (або «період нових умов безпеки після 11.09.2001» за термінологією НАТО).
Публічна дипломатія НАТО включає сукупність форм і методів, сил і засобів пропаганди, а також способів групового спілкування, використовуваних для роз’яснення політики НАТО, сприяння у проведенні військових операцій і вирішенні інших завдань. Дана діяльність спрямована на формування «правильного розуміння» цільовими аудиторіями практичних кроків НАТО з підтримки стабільної обстановки у кризових регіонах, що виключає прояв ворожості з боку місцевого керівництва та населення щодо військовослужбовців блоку.

The Cognition Role to Understanding Planning and Architectural Production
Authors: Al-Khafaji Ahmed S. , Al-Salam Nadia A. , Alrobaee Tuqa R. 
Published: July 2021

This paper focuses on the concept of cognition and its clarification in the light of Islamic epistemology. Knowledge passes through two essential parts: conception and assent. Conception explains simple knowledge, while assent explains knowledge involving a judgment. The paper proceeded with the identification of the problem of relationship blurring between cognition and knowledge. The external and inner senses have explained the relationship between the stages of knowledge and cognition. The external senses receive stimuli and form primary conceptions. These conceptions transfer to the first part of the inner senses, which is common sense; it collects the sensations and transmits them to pictorial power. Secondary conceptions are formed, accompanied by feeling. Then, the estimative power role emerges in imparting meaning to be stored in memory, here knowledge is suspicion, and the perception is achieved. Finally, the images reach the thinking power to impart the specific meaning of the image, which constitutes cognition. Using the Hagia Sophia Case Study, the paper reached important indices in clarifying the cognition stages and understanding of planning and architectural production. These indices were represented by: color, scale, lighting, the harmony of the building with its surroundings, and the meanings associated with cultural, social, and civilized values.

Strengthening of Edge and Corner Columns using Concrete Jackets
Authors: Eid Nasr Mahmoud , Nour Fayed Mohamed , El-Arabaty Hisham Ahmed , Al-Azzouny Mohamed 
Published: July 2021

Strengthening of columns using concrete jackets depends on friction at the interface between them. So strengthening of edge and corner columns in only one story needs a large cross section area due to the shortage of friction length which leads to architectural issues. This research aims to study strengthening the edge and corner columns using a concrete Jacket in more than one story which increases the friction area between the Jacket and the original column. As a result, the load transferred from original column to the jacket will be increased. Thirteen models were done using ANSYS program to study the effect of various factors on the Jacket capacity such as the number of strengthened floors, the Jacket type (two sides or three sides), and whether there were shear connectors or not. The results showed that in the case of the edge and corner columns, it is preferable to strengthen the column by making a concrete Jacket on at least two or three floors to increase the surface area, which leads to increase the friction and thus increases the capacity of the strengthened column by an acceptable percentage. The results of ANSYS models were compared with the Indian code IS 15988 (2013) and the results were shown differently because the code equations depend on the presence of a full bond between the concrete column and the Jacket, which does not occur, but rather the load is transferred by friction between the Jacket and the original column.

Optimization of Cellular Concrete Formulation with Aluminum Waste and Mineral Additions
Authors: Bouglada Mohammed Salah , Ammar Noui , Larbi Belagraa 
Published: July 2021

The paper aims to study cellular concrete with a new approach of formulation without an autoclave, with the use of aluminum waste and incorporation of mineral additions into the sand and evaluate its physical and mechanical properties. In this experimental study, two types of cellular concrete are prepared, based on crushed and dune sand with the incorporation of 15% of the slag and 10% of pozzolana, as sand replacement. An experimental program was performed to determine the compressive strength at 28 days, the density and thermal conductivity of the confected cellular concrete. The obtained results showed that concretes prepared with crushed sand developed better mechanical resistance compared to the dune sand. It is also noted that the concretes containing the mineral additions provide a substantial increase in compressive strength in particular slag. Furthermore, cellular concretes with sand dunes offer better thermal conductivity, compared to those with crushed sand. The use of the additions reduces the Water/Binder (W/B) ratio and leads to a lower thermal conductivity regardless of the used sand nature. The outcome of the present study here in could present a modest contribution for the production of cellular concrete with local materials in particular dune sand, active mineral addition and aluminum waste. The physical and mechanical properties obtained from this new composition are estimated acceptable compared to those of the industry-prepared cellular concrete product.

Bond Coefficient kb of Concrete Beams Reinforced with GFRP, CFRP, and Steel Bars
Authors: Kabashi Naser , Këpuska Arbër , Krasniqi Enes , Avdyli Besart 
Published: July 2021

There are several reasons why civil and structural engineers should use Fiber Reinforced Polymer bars in concrete. The primary reason is durability, and other relevant parameters, high strength and, lightweight. Non-corrosive attributes make their use particularly suitable in different situations. Due to low elastic modulus and poor bonding, the use of Fiber Reinforced Polymer results in larger crack widths under serviceability limit state especially beams reinforced with glass fiber bars. The study purpose of this paper is to investigate the kb values. The methodology of this paper is comparing the analytical and experimental results. The investigation included 12 beams, using the four-point load test. The geometrical parameters of tested beams with dimensions: 130×220×2200 mm, reinforced with different diameters, helically-grooved glass fiber bars, and sand-coated carbon fiber bars. The measured cracks were used to assess the current kb values recommended in the design codes and guides. The findings did not support the use of the same kb value for different bars because, in addition to the type of bar, the value of kb is also affected by the type of surface and the diameter of the bar. What is observed based on results shows that CFRP bars have a more constant value depending on the diameter, while GFRP bars have large value changes depending on the diameter.

Feasible Evaluation of Shunt Active Filter for Harmonics Mitigation in Induction Heating System
Authors: Raman Rahul , Dutta Subrata Kumar , Sarmah Priya , Das Mrigakshi , Saikia Amarjit , Sadhu Pradip Kumar 
Published: July 2021

This paper propounds the incorporation of a three-level inverter based Shunt Active Filter (SAF) in the Induction Heating (IH) system to eradicate the problems due to Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) & Radio Frequency Interference (RFI). The IH system generates a considerable amount of high-frequency harmonics because of myriad causes, the predominant one being the high-frequency switching in the resonant inverter. The former has an immanent propensity to flow towards the supply side and results in the enfeeblement of power quality. Moreover, in the present work, attention has been paid off to develop a proper control strategy of a three level inverter based SAF for EMI and RFI suppression. A new modeling approach of three-level inverter based SAF is proposed and the efficacy and viability of the proposed controllers for SAF in the IH system are validated via simulations in PSIM. A comparative analysis of THD in the input current waveform has been done to advocate the desideratum of SAF as an imperative part of the IH system. Results obtained by simulations show that the proposed approach is more effective than the reviewed approaches on compensating the harmonic currents and thus, the filtering action of SAF is able to achieve the THD of input current within the limit specified by the IEEE-519 standard.

Unity or Contiguity: Towards a New Theory of Romani Literature
Authors: Chirila Ileana D. 
Published: July 2021

Romani literature has an important role in challenging the predominant negative views about Roma, but its influence is lessened by the minimization of Romani cultural expressions, literature being one of them. In this paper, after a theoretical positioning of Romani literature, I show how contemporary Romani literature could expand its position of influence through a re-evaluation of what constitutes the literary canon, and by the promotion, by scholars and specialists, of a “Romani literary complex.” As a case study, I discuss here two Francophone texts, by a Roma (Anina Ciuciu) and by a non-Roma (Valérie Rodrigue), positing that, although not “literary” in the traditional sense, both of them could be considered part of an emerging Romani literarycomplex that , in turn, might accelerate the institutionalization of this literature.
