Noisy Galvanic Vestibular Stimulation Combined With a Multisensory Balance Program in Older Adults With Moderate to High Fall Risk: Protocol for a Feasibility Study for a Randomized Controlled Trial
Authors: McLaren Ruth , Smith Paul F , Lord Sue , Kaur Preet Kamal , Zheng Yiwen , Taylor Denise 
Published: August 2021

Background
Reduced mobility and falls are common among older adults. Balance retraining programs are effective in reducing falls and in improving balance and mobility. Noisy galvanic vestibular stimulation is a low-level electrical stimulation used to reduce the threshold for the firing of vestibular neurons via a mechanism of stochastic resonance.

Objective
This study aims to determine the feasibility of using noisy galvanic vestibular stimulation to augment a balance training program for older adults at risk of falls. We hypothesize that noisy galvanic vestibular stimulation will enhance the effects of balance retraining in older adults at risk of falls

Methods
In this 3-armed randomized controlled trial, community dwelling older adults at risk of falling will be randomly assigned to a noisy galvanic vestibular stimulation plus balance program (noisy galvanic vestibular stimulation group), sham plus balance program (sham group), or a no treatment group (control). Participants will attend the exercise group twice a week for 8 weeks with assessment of balance and gait pretreatment, posttreatment, and at 3 months postintervention. Primary outcome measures include postural sway, measured by center of pressure velocity, area and root mean square, and gait parameters such as speed, step width, step variability, and double support time. Spatial memory will also be measured using the triangle completion task and the 4 Mountains Test.

Results
Recruitment began in November 2020. Data collection and analysis are expected to be completed by December 2022.

Conclusions
This study will evaluate the feasibility of using noisy galvanic vestibular stimulation alongside balance retraining in older adults at risk of falls and will inform the design of a fully powered randomized controlled trial.

Reinterpretar la teoría monetaria moderna: Generación de liquidez y emisión de moneda fiat
Authors: Yasuhara Tsuyoshi 
Published: August 2021

<p>La teoría monetaria moderna (TMM) muestra el punto de vista alternativo del déficit fiscal. El gasto fiscal nunca resulta una quiebra para el gobierno. Los economistas de la TMM en Estados Unidos y Japón enfocan el teorema de la TMM de cómo el gasto fiscal produce el activo adicional en el sector privado de igual saldo.</p><p>Wray (2014) explica que las transacciones entre los pasivos menos liquidables y otros más liquidables generan la liquidez, y tal mecanismo dirige la cotización de la moneda <em>fiat (por decreto)</em>. Esta relación causal debe entenderse en la misma línea del teorema de la TMM. Se identifica la condición de que el teorema y la relación causal de la liquidez a la cotización monetaria son (in)compatibles usando el modelo del ajuste entre inversión y ahorro. El estudio basado en la matriz de la teoría consistente de stock-flujo no ayuda a entender el efecto del gasto fiscal en la inversión, la ganancia, y el pago de interés y de los dividendos de las empresas. La relación entre el gasto fiscal y el activo incrementado del sector privado no se identifica en la equivalencia, por lo que el déficit fiscal expandido no es compatible necesariamente con el crecimiento del activo del sector privado.</p><div><div><p> </p></div></div>

OBJECTIVE
We examined diabetes as a cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk equivalent based on diabetes severity and other CVD risk factors.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS
We pooled four U.S. cohorts (Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities [ARIC], Jackson Heart Study [JHS], Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis [MESA], and Framingham Heart Study Offspring Cohort [FHS-Offspring]) and classified subjects into groups by baseline diabetes/CVD status (positive or negative). CVD risks of the diabetes mellitus (DM)+/CVD− group versus DM−/CVD+ group were examined by diabetes severity and in subgroups of other CVD risk factors. We developed an algorithm to identify subjects with CVD risk equivalent diabetes by comparing the relative CVD risk of being DM+/CVD− versus DM−/CVD+.

RESULTS
The pooled cohort included 27,730 subjects (mean age 58.5 years, 44.6% male). CVD rates per 1,000 person-years were 16.5, 33.4, 43.2, and 71.4 among those DM−/CVD−, DM+/CVD−, DM−/CVD+, and DM+/CVD+, respectively. Compared with those DM−/CVD+, CVD risks were similar or higher for those with HbA1c ≥ 7%, diabetes duration ≥10 years, or diabetes medication use, while those with less severe diabetes had lower risks. Hazard ratios (95% CI) for DM+/CVD− vs. DM−/CVD+ were 0.96 (95% CI 0.86–1.07), 0.97 (0.88–1.07), 0.96 (0.82–1.13), 1.18 (0.98–1.41), 0.93 (0.85–1.02), and 1.00 (0.89–1.13) among women and those of White race, age &lt;55 years, and with triglycerides ≥2.26 mmol/L, hs-CRP ≥2 mg/L, and estimated glomerular filtration rate &lt;60 mL/min/1.73 m2, respectively. In the DM+/CVD− group, 19.1% had CVD risk equivalent diabetes with a lower risk score but a higher observed CVD risk.

CONCLUSIONS
Diabetes is a CVD risk equivalent in one-fifth of CVD-free adults living with diabetes. High HbA1c, long diabetes duration, and diabetes medication use were predictors of CVD risk equivalence. Diabetes is a CVD risk equivalent for women, white people, and those of younger age or with higher triglycerides or hs-CRP or reduced kidney function.

Представленные документы извлечены из материалов экспедиций Александра Александровича Миллера в Северную Осетию (1923-1928 гг.). Тексты относятся к работе экспедиции в селении Галиат, где Миллер записал сведения о святилище Тамар дзуар (Узи дзуар), которые в других источниках не встречаются. Приводятся сведения о верованиях, связанных с грозовыми явлениями, и ритуале, совершаемом при поражении человека молнией. Во время экспедиции в Северную Осетию в 1928 г. Миллер зарисовал предметы из святилища Реком: наружную дверь, закрытое ставней окно, ромбовидные наконечники стрел. Эти рисунки содержат детали, не известные по другим изображениям, и стало быть могут способствовать более точной реконструкции соответствующих элементов святилища.
The submitted documents were extracted from the materials of A.A. Miller's expeditions to North Ossetia (1923-1928). The texts refer to the expedition in Galiat village, where A.A. Miller has recorded information about the sanctuary Tamar Dzuar (Uzi Dzuar) not found in other sources. Information is provided on the beliefs associated with thunderstorms and the ritual performed, when a person is struck by lightning. During the expedition to North Ossetia in 1928, A.A. Miller sketched the objects from the sanctuary Rekom: the outer door, shuttered window, diamond-shaped arrowheads. These drawings contain details that are not known from other images, and therefore can contribute to a more accurate reconstruction of the corresponding elements of the sanctuary.

Published: August 2021

Abstract
The changing concept of sustainable development is changing the practice of designing sustainable urban forms. The article presents a variety of concepts of a sustainable urban form and their ambiguous assessment – the model of a compact city, if applied in all cases, can cost the quality of one’s environment and the quality of life. New bottom-up trends are emerging in theory and in practice of the 21st century, which focus on the urban planning process which is more inclusive in terms of society. The article discusses examples of the creation of a sustainable urban narrative for the development of a relationship with the community.
Fluid-structure interaction simulations with a LES filtering approach in solids4Foam
Authors: Girfoglio Michele , Quaini Annalisa , Rozza Gianluigi 
Published: August 2021

Abstract
The goal of this paper is to test solids4Foam, the fluid-structure interaction (FSI) toolbox developed for foam-extend (a branch of OpenFOAM), and assess its flexibility in handling more complex flows. For this purpose, we consider the interaction of an incompressible fluid described by a Leray model with a hyperelastic structure modeled as a Saint Venant-Kirchho material. We focus on a strongly coupled, partitioned fluid-structure interaction (FSI) solver in a finite volume environment, combined with an arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian approach to deal with the motion of the fluid domain. For the implementation of the Leray model, which features a nonlinear differential low-pass filter, we adopt a three-step algorithm called Evolve-Filter-Relax. We validate our approach against numerical data available in the literature for the 3D cross flow past a cantilever beam at Reynolds number 100 and 400.
Comparative study of low dose of capecitabine versus standard dose in metastatic breast cancer: Efficacy and safety
Authors: Aboelnaga Engy M , El-beshbishi Wafaa 
Published: August 2021

Abstract

Background
A lower dose of capecitabine revealed better toxicity profiles and comparable efficacy in treatment of metastatic breast cancer (MBC). We aimed to evaluate the efficacy and toxicity of lower dose of capecitabine in comparison with the standard dose.

Patients and methods
Patients were enrolled in two groups. Group 1 included 21 patients who received the standard dose of capecitabine (1250 mg/m2 twice daily [BID] for 14 days), while the patients in group 2 (19 patients) received lower dose of capecitabine (850 mg/m2 BID for 14 days) every 3 weeks.

Results
In group 1, dose reduction was reported in 12 (57.1%) patients versus 1 patient in group 2 (5.3%; P = 0.0005). Patients in group 1 reported higher toxicity rates without any significant difference between the groups. The median duration of response was 17 weeks in group 1, while it was 19 weeks in group 2. Disease progression was recorded in 10 (47.6%) patients in group 1 versus 8 (42.1%) patients in group 2 (P = 0.81). The mean time to progression was 8.16 ± 0.63 months and the median was 10.1 months in group 1, while the mean was 8.98 ± 0.75 months and the median was 10 months in group 2 (P = 0.66). The overall survival had a mean of 11.94 ± 0.754 and 11.24 ± 0.665 months, while the median was 13.1 and 13 months in groups 1 and 2, respectively (P = 0.9).

Conclusions
A lower dose of capecitabine provides MBC patients with an active therapy that can be continued for prolonged periods to achieve long-term disease control without compromising its antitumor activity.
Influence of optimization techniques and nano surface coating materials on microstructure of iron-nickel-chromium alloy using wire EDM process

Published: August 2021

Abstract
This research proposes developing the new hybrid optimization techniques for getting optimized wire EDM machining parameters and analysing the performance and microstructure of hybrid treatment alloy 20 material (high-velocity oxygen fuel spraying and plasma nitriding on iron-nickel-chromium alloy) after machining in wire EDM. The devising optimization is carried out using back-propagation neural networks (BPNN) integrated with fuzzy logic techniques. Taguchi L27 method uses optimized parameters in 3 factors and 3 level methods to BPNN wire EDM processing parameters. Those processing parameter errors are controlled by applying fuzzy logic system in hybrid optimization techniques. The hybrid optimization provides best results (±5% error) while comparing other techniques. This proposal was started with research review of defined factors and BPNN parameters level for hidden layer number, learning algorithm, neurons numbers, and so on. The analysis of variance (ANOVA), analysis of means (ANOM) and signal to noise (S/N) ratio have been used to identify Taguchi results. The BPNN techniques have been employed significantly to tackle hidden layer's uncertain parameter structures. The fuzzy logic controllers in general have been designed engaging the relations between system performance and factor through error method calculation. The microstructure analysis showed that the no evidence was found of recast layer formation on hybrid treated material after machining in wire EDM due to compressive stress and compound layer on material surface.
Post-Modern Situation in Media Communication: Forecast and Reality
Authors: Semilet T. A. , Fotieva I. V. , Ivanov A. V. 
Published: August 2021

In the social transformations that shape the situation of “postmodernity”, media communication plays a leading role. At the first stages of its formation, theorists made a number of predictions about a new sociality: the implementation of the principles of equality and freedom; the ability to participate in significant decision-making; inclusion of all in social integrity and participation in events; consolidation of rationality, ethics, and freedom in reaching a universal consensus; convergence of values and worldviews.Accordingly,the purpose of this studyis to investigate how and in what forms these forecasts have been carried out; what are the trends of modern media communication.Research methods: comparative analysis, system-structural and structural-functional analysis.The main results of the studyare as follows. The forecasts of the leading theorists about the prospects of media communication and the digital society have been reached, at best, only partially. In a real situation, which many authors call “postmodernity”, one can see the following contradictory tendencies: real boundaries, which were expected to become “transparent”, are now reproduced in virtual form; communication processes stimulated consolidation, but at the same time exacerbated ideological, national, socio-cultural divisions. Moreover, the government and business structures that are increasing their influence (“post-democracy”) are competing with new actors for leadership in media communication. The phenomenon of “post-truth” show itself through rejection of the objectivity principle, reliability, rationality. The immersion of communicants in a virtual environment has number of negative consequences for the personality, including “erosion” of basic moral and social norms (“posthumanism”). Furthermore, basic functions of journalism are replaced by dysfunctions (“post-journalism”). Thus, the Internet has served as a kind of catalyst that enhances both positive and negative social trends.
