Identity and the theme of belonging in Seamus Heaney's Selected Poems
Authors: Saleem Yousif Shaymaa 
Published: December 2021

Abstract
The heritage and history of the ancestors and the country are important parts of the history and culture of peoples. It is the vessel which their faith, traditions, authentic values, language, ideas, and way of life derived from. It also shapes their personality by culture, national identity, and creates the bridge of communication between generations. The identity and the sense of belonging can be traced in the early poems of Seamus Heaney: Digging (1966), Gravities (1966), Traditions (1972) and Anahorish (1972). Many critics consider this as only self-revelation or as a result of feeling guilty for leaving his family, land, and career. This study aims at proving that in spite of the fact that Heaney had left his place of birth and his parent’s tradition for choosing to be a writer, he presented poems that carry out the continuity of searching for the past and roots. The study concludes with that the sense of belonging has appeared through Heaneys early poems, reflecting his desire to plant the spirit of devotion to family, tradition, and Ireland.

Authors: Zhang Gang , Liu Dandan 
Published: December 2021

BACKGROUND: To investigate the accuracy of contrast-enhanced ultrasonography, CT-enhancement and MRI in the diagnosis of liver-occupying lesions. METHODS: 176 patients with suspected liver lesions in our hospital were retrospectively studied from July 2014 to July 2016. All of the 176 patients were diagnosed by contrast-enhanced ultrasonography, enhanced CT and MRI, and the pathological examination was performed. The results of pathological examination were regarded as the results of the diagnosis. The diagnostic accuracywas then compared among contrast-enhanced ultrasound, enhanced CT and MRI of these patients. RESULTS: The results of contrast-enhanced ultrasonography showed that 164 of the 176 patients had liver-occupying lesions, and the accuracy of the diagnosis was 95.35%, which was significantly higher than that of CT enhancement and MRI (80.23% 84.30%). The accuracy of contrast-enhanced ultrasonography, in the diagnosis of primary liver cancer was significantly higher than that of CT enhancement and MRI ( P < 0.05), and the difference was significant difference ( P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: The examination of contrast-enhanced ultrasonography is relatively simple, and the patients can get duplicateexamination, so we should choose the contrast-enhanced ultrasonography as the preferred method of diagnosis in liver mass, especially primary liver cancer.

Background: Despite decades of research efforts, current treatments for Alzheimer’s disease (AD) are of limited effectiveness and do not halt the progression of the disease and associated cognitive decline. Studies have shown that repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) may improve cognition. Objective: We conducted a pilot study to investigate the effect of rTMS on cognitive function in Veterans with numerous medical comorbidities. Methods: Participants underwent 20 sessions, over the course of approximately 4 weeks, of 10 Hz rTMS at the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex with intensity of 120% resting motor threshold. Outcome measures including memory, language, verbal fluency, and executive functions were acquired at baseline, end of treatment, and 4 months after the last rTMS session. Twenty-six Veterans completed the study (13 in the active rTMS group, 13 in the sham rTMS group). Results: The study protocol was well-tolerated. Active, compared to sham, rTMS showed improved auditory-verbal memory at the end of treatment and at 4-month follow-up. However, the active rTMS group demonstrated a trend in decreased semantic verbal fluency at the end of treatment and at 4-month follow up. Conclusion: These preliminary results show rTMS is safe in general in this elderly Veteran population with multiple co-morbidities. Patients in the sham group showed an expected, slight decline in the California Verbal Learning Test scores over the course of the study, whereas the active treatment group showed a slight improvement at the 4-month post-treatment follow up. These effects need to be confirmed by studies of larger sample sizes.

Published: December 2021

Background: Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative condition driven by multifactorial etiology. Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is a transitional condition between healthy aging and dementia. No reliable biomarkers are available to predict the conversion from MCI to AD. Objective: To evaluate the use of machine learning (ML) on a wealth of data offered by the Alzheimer’s Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI) and Alzheimer’s Disease Metabolomics Consortium (ADMC) database in the prediction of the MCI to AD conversion. Methods: We implemented an ML-based Random Forest (RF) algorithm to predict conversion from MCI to AD. Data related to the study population (587 MCI subjects) were analyzed by RF as separate or combined features and assessed for classification power. Four classes of variables were considered: neuropsychological test scores, AD-related cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers, peripheral biomarkers, and structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) variables. Results: The ML-based algorithm exhibited 86% accuracy in predicting the AD conversion of MCI subjects. When assessing the features that helped the most, neuropsychological test scores, MRI data, and CSF biomarkers were the most relevant in the MCI to AD prediction. Peripheral parameters were effective when employed in association with neuropsychological test scores. Age and sex differences modulated the prediction accuracy. AD conversion was more effectively predicted in females and younger subjects. Conclusion: Our findings support the notion that AD-related neurodegenerative processes result from the concerted activity of multiple pathological mechanisms and factors that act inside and outside the brain and are dynamically affected by age and sex.

Background: Probiotic supplementation reestablishes microbiome diversity and improves brain function in Alzheimer’s disease (AD); their molecular mechanisms, however, have not yet been fully illustrated. Objective: We investigated the effects of orally supplemented Bifidobacterium breve MCC1274 on cognitive function and AD-like pathologies in App NL- G- F mice. Methods: Three-month-old App NL- G- F mice were orally supplemented with B. breve MCC1274 for four months. The short-term memory function was evaluated using a novel object recognition test. Amyloid plaques, amyloid-β (Aβ) levels, Aβ fibril, amyloid-β protein precursor and its processing enzymes, its metabolic products, glial activity, and cell proliferation in the subgranular zone of the dentate gyrus were evaluated by immunohistochemistry, Aβ ELISA, western blotting, and immunofluorescence staining. The mRNA expression levels of pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines were determined by qRT-PCR analysis. Results: We found that the oral B. breve MCC1 274 supplementation prevented memory impairment in App NL- G- F mice and decreased hippocampal Aβ levels through the enhancement of the a-disintegrin and metalloproteinase 10 (ADAM10) level. Moreover, administration of the probiotic activated the ERK/HIF-1 α signaling pathway responsible for increasing the ADAM10 level and also attenuated microglial activation, which in turn led to reduction in the mRNA expression levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines in the brain. In addition, B. breve MCC1274 supplementation increased the level of synaptic proteins in the hippocampus. Conclusion: Our findings support the possibility that oral B. breve MCC1274 supplementation might be used as a potential preventive therapy for AD progression.

Published: December 2021

Today's global COVID-19 pandemic has affected the spread of influenza. COVID-19 and influenza are respiratory infections and have several similar symptoms. They are, however, caused by various viruses; there are also some differences in the categories of people most at risk of severe forms of these diseases. The strategies for their treatment are also different. Mathematical modeling is an effective tool for controlling the epidemic process of influenza in specified territories. The results of modeling and forecasts obtained with the help of simulation models make it possible to develop timely justified anti-epidemic measures to reduce the dynamics of the incidence of influenza. The study aims to develop a seasonal autoregressive integrated moving average (SARIMA) model for influenza epidemic process simulation and to investigate the experimental results of the simulation. The work is targeted at the influenza epidemic process and its dynamic in the territory of Ukraine. The subjects of the research are methods and models of epidemic process simulation, which include machine learning methods, in particular the SARIMA model. To achieve the aim of the research, we have used methods of forecasting and have built the influenza epidemic process SARIMA model. Because of experiments with the developed model, the predictive dynamics of the epidemic process of influenza for 10 weeks were obtained. Such a forecast can be used by persons making decisions on the implementation of anti-epidemic and deterrent measures if the forecast exceeds the epidemic thresholds of morbidity. Conclusions. The paper describes experimental research on the application of the SARIMA model to the epidemic process of influenza simulation. Models have been verified by influenza morbidity in the Kharkiv region (Ukraine) in epidemic seasons for the time ranges as follows: 2017-18, 2018-19, 2019-20, and 2020-21. Data were provided by the Kharkiv Regional Centers for Disease Control and Prevention of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine. The forecasting results show a downward trend in the dynamics of the epidemic process of influenza in the Kharkiv region. It is due to the introduction of anti-epidemic measures aimed at combating COVID-19. Activities such as wearing masks, social distancing, and lockdown also contribute to reducing seasonal influenza epidemics.
The method of vicinity minutiae decomposition with higher level graphs for fingerprint verification

Published: December 2021

The subject matter of the paper is the development of fingerprint local structures based on the new method of the minutia vicinity decomposition (MVD) for the solution to the task of fingerprint verification. It is an essential task because it is produced attempts to introduce biometric technology in different areas of social and state life: criminology, access control system, mobile device applications, banking. The goal is to develop real number vectors that can respond to criteria for biometric template protection schemes such as irreversibility with the corresponding accuracy of equal error rate (EER). The problem to be solved is the problem of accuracy in the case of verification because there are false minutiae, disappearing of truth minutiae and there are also linear and angular deformations. The method is the new method of MVD that used the level of graphs with many a point from 7 to 3. This scheme of decomposition is shown in this paper; such a variant of decomposition is never used in science articles. The following results were obtained: description of a new method for fingerprint verification. The new metric for creating vectors of real numbers were suggested – a minimal path for points in the graphs. Also, the algorithm for finding out minimal paths for points was proposed in the graphs because the classic algorithm has a problem in some cases with many points being 6. These problems are crossing and excluding arcs are in the path. The way of sorting out such problems was suggested and examples are given for several points are 20. Results of false rejection rate (FRR), false acceptance rate (FAR), EER are shown in the paper. In this paper, the level of EER is 33 % with full search. 78400 false and 1400 true tests were conducted. The method does not use such metrics as distances and angles, which are used in the classical method of MVD and will be used in future papers. This result is shown for total coincidences of real number, not a similarity that it is used at verifications. It is a good result in this case because the result from the method index-of-max is 40 %.
Side wind and tank speed influence on lateral displacement of the projectile
Authors: Sorokatiy M. , Voytovych M. , Velychko L. , Moskalova O. 
Published: December 2021

This article indicates the scope of the formula for determining the magnitude of the lateral displacement of the projectile under the action of crosswind, which is used in the compilation of firing tables.
This formula is valid under the following conditions: the force of frontal air resistance to the motion of the projectile is proportional to the its velocity squared; wind speed components are much smaller than the horizontal component of projectile velocity; the projectile velocity projections on the Oy and Oz axes are much smaller than the projections on the Ox axis; the dimensionless coefficient of resistance and the magnitude of the crosswind are constant values.
However, in reality, the force of frontal air resistance to the motion of the projectile is only sometimes proportional to the its velocity squared; the projectile velocity projections on the Oz axis may be are much smaller than the projections on the Ox axis and may even be greater than it; the coefficient of resistance is depends on the value of the Makh number, so it can be considered constant only when shooting at short distances.
The authors propose a mathematical model for determining the magnitude of the lateral displacement of the projectile under the action of crosswinds. It is believed that the force of the crosswind on the projectile depends on the following factors: air density; the maximum area of the longitudinal section of the projectile; the difference between the value of the lateral component of the wind speed and the speed of the lateral displacement of the projectile, which is raised to a certain power.
The magnitude of the values of the lateral displacement of the projectile under the action of the crosswind when shooting at short distances, determined based on the proposed mathematical model, slightly differ from the values of the lateral displacement specified in the firing tables.
However, with increasing firing distance, the difference between these values is constantly increasing and the value of the lateral displacement of the projectile determined theoretically is much larger than indicated in the firing tables. In addition, in this research the influence of the tank velocity on the value of the projectile lateral displacement taking into account the action of the crosswind is studied.
