CHALLENGES OF TRANSLATING CUSTOMS DOCUMENTATION: ISSUES AND APPROACHES
Authors: Polycheva Yuliia , Nastenko Viktoriia 
Published: December 2024

The article focuses on the study of the peculiarities of translating English customs terminology into Ukrainian. The analysis and review of relevant literature were conducted to gain a deeper understanding of the challenges associated with the transmission of specialized terms, particularly polysemantic and non-equivalent terms, in customs documentation. The study is motivated by the importance of ensuring translation accuracy for international trade and the insufficient coverage of this topic in linguistic research. The research material includes customs documents, international agreements, and standards used in global practice. The theoretical foundation is based on the works of specialists in translation studies and terminology, such as V. Karaban, I. Korunets, S. Maksymov, O. Selivanova, N. Khaidari, among others.
The article summarizes and systematizes existing approaches to the problem of translating customs terminology and examines the main difficulties translators face when working with polysemantic terms, abbreviations, and terms lacking direct equivalents in Ukrainian. Specifically, methods such as calquing, descriptive translation, and adaptation are considered the most effective for this category of terms. The study reveals that the use of traditional translation methods in conveying customs terminology is essential for achieving accuracy and contextual alignment with the original documents. However, certain terms require additional adaptation due to differences in the legal and cultural systems of the countries.

Published: December 2024

Abstract

Background
Ureteral stricture is a prevalent and complex condition within the urinary system, often leading to significant complications. In severe instances can result in renal insufficiency and damage. Although various treatment options exist for ureteral strictures,but effectively managing specific cases remains a challenge. Autologous grafts have emerged as a novel surgical approach for ureteral repair and reconstruction. However, due to the specific surgical conditions required, reports of complications associated with these techniques are relatively limited.
Case Presentation
This article presents a case of a long-segment ureteral stricture treated with lingual mucosal graft. The patient experienced postoperative severe renal hemorrhage, prompting a thorough analysis of the factors contributing to this complication. This case highlights the complexities involved in the surgical management of ureteral strictures and underscores the need for careful patient selection.
Conclusion
The use of lingual mucosal grafts in the treatment of ureteral strictures demonstrates potential benefits, but the risk of postoperative complications, such as renal hemorrhage, necessitates further investigation. By refining the selection criteria for patients undergoing surgical intervention and addressing associated complications, this study aims to enhance clinical practice and improve patient outcomes.
Association between serum direct bilirubin and the 90-days mortality in patients with ARDS
Authors: Jin Jun , Deng Jiang-Tao , Xu Jiao 
Published: December 2024

Abstract

Objective
The liver plays a critical role in the pathogenesis and resolution of ARDS. Clinically, ARDS patients often present with elevated bilirubin levels, primarily due to an increase in direct bilirubin (DBIL). This study aimed to investigate the association between serum DBIL levels and 90-day mortality in ARDS patients.
Methods
We conducted an analysis of patients diagnosed with ARDS according to the Berlin definition using data from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care IV (MIMIC-IV) database. The primary outcome was 90-day mortality, with in-hospital mortality as the secondary outcome. Multivariable Cox regression assessed the relationship between DBIL and 90-day mortality, while restricted cubic spline regression(RCS) explored potential nonlinear associations. Kaplan-Meier(KM) survival curves compared survival rates between patients with higher and lower DBIL levels.
Results
A total of 714 ARDS patients enrolled, 266 patients died within 90 days of admission to the ICU. The higher DBIL group exhibited significantly worse clinical outcomes, including lower pH, higher lactate, elevated ALT, and increased SOFA scores. KM survival analysis revealed significantly lower survival rates in the higher DBIL group (52.2% vs. 73.7%, P < 0.001). Multivariable Cox regression analysis showed that higher DBIL levels were independently associated with increased 90-day mortality (HR 1.77, 95% CI: 1.31–2.28, P < 0.001) and in-hospital mortality (HR 1.95, 95% CI: 1.56–2.43, P < 0.001), while indirect bilirubin(IBIL) was not significantly associated with 90-day mortality (HR 0.93, 95% CI: 0.85–1.02, P = 0.127). RCS analysis indicated a nonlinear relationship between DBIL levels and mortality risk. Subgroup analyses showed consistent associations across various patient demographics.
Conclusion
Our study shows that elevated DBIL is independently associated with 90-day mortality in ARDS patients. Clinicians should closely monitor ARDS management and adjust treatment strategies when DBIL levels are elevated.

Authors: Sarsari Mohamed , Elmejjati Aissam , Faraj Raid , Kerrouani Oualid , Fellat Ibtissam , Zarzur Jamila , Cherti Mohamed 
Published: December 2024

Abstract

Background:
Rheumatoid arthritis is a systemic condition impacting not only joints but also various organs, with potential life-threatening consequences, particularly involving the heart. Pericardial damage is a prevalent cardiovascular manifestation that generally responds well to anti-inflammatory interventions. While atrioventricular block in RA is uncommon, it remains a possibility and poses a threat to vital prognosis in the absence of proper treatment.
Case Presentation:
We present the case of a young female patient with a 23-year history of rheumatoid arthritis, experiencing recurrent syncope episodes associated with complete atrioventricular block. The severity of the condition necessitated the implantation of a dual-chamber pacemaker.
Conclusions
This case holds significance due to the rarity of atrioventricular block in rheumatoid arthritis, its complex pathophysiology, and the essential reliance on cardiac stimulation for treatment, as anti-inflammatory interventions show limited efficacy in this particular scenario.

Published: December 2024

Abstract

Objective To examine the comparability of the CAST index with the established WHO criteria across diverse populations and age groups.Methods and Material: In the Dibrugarh district of Assam, India, 728 schoolchildren between the ages of 5, 12 and 15 participated in a cross-sectional survey. Examiners received calibration and training in order to apply the CAST index. The CAST index was used for the first examinations, and after a set amount of time, the WHO 2013 criteria were used for the second examination. For every exam, the amount of time required was noted. The Wilcoxon signed-rank test evaluated the mean investigation time for the CAST index & WHO standards, while the Mc Nemar test compared caries experiences.Results The caries experience of children aged 5, 12 and 15 using the CAST index (52%, 48%, 54.6%) and the WHO criteria (42.3%, 40.0%, 26.7%), statistically significant differences were found (p < 0.05). In comparison to the WHO standards (60.56 ± 16.48 seconds and 59.27 ± 8.22 seconds) for primary and permanent dentition, the average examination duration for the CAST index (94.12 ± 23.68 seconds and 107.13 ± 8.39 seconds) was longer (p < 0.05).Conclusions Despite the CAST index requiring an extended investigation time, it provided more precise information, aiding researchers in treatment development that encompasses prevention of early lesions, restoration & rehabilitation.Clinical Relevance: The CAST index facilitates early diagnosis and targeted treatment planning, enabling preventive interventions for early lesions and appropriate restorative care, thus improving oral health outcomes in children.
Evaluations on Degraded and Natural Estuaries: "The Case of Kızılırmak and Yeşilırmak" and New Records for Macroinvertebrate Fauna of Turkey
Authors: Melih Rüzgar , Aysun Gümüş 
Published: December 2024

Abstract

This research examines the river mouth ecosystems of Kizilirmak and Yeşilirmak, discharging significant quantities of freshwater and nutrients to the Samsun Shelf area along the mid-southern Black Sea. The objective was to ascertain the current ecological status and detect any significant variation between two river mouth ecosystems (rehabilitated-Kizilirmak and natural-Yeşilırmak) in terms of macroinvertebrate communities and environmental variables. Sampling was conducted seasonally between February 2017 - November 2017. A total of 52206 individuals belonging to 90 taxa were identified. In Kızılırmak river mouth 51 species were identified and 60 species belonging to Yeşilırmak. All identified taxa are new records for the study area and Orthocladius (Orthocladius) dentifer, O. (O.) clarkei, O. (O.) dorenus, O. (O.) wetterenesis, O. (O.) mixtus and Mystacides longicornis were found to be new records for the macrobenthic fauna of Turkey. The distribution of macroinvertebrates was compared by means of season, area, particle size, and station groups. It is found that Kızılırmak and Yeşilırmak river mouth ecosystems are represented by a narrow habitat fragment. In Kızılırmak river mouth habitat a high level of similarity among stations and a significant loss of diversity across the site was determined. This phenomenon is believed to be the natural outcome of reconstruction activities along the downstream resulting in ecosystem destruction. The Yeşilirmak river mouth habitat is determined to a have a relatively more diverse macrobenthic community and seemed to be well preserved than the Kızılırmak area.

Abstract

Background: Angiostrongylus cantonensis, the rat lungworm, is a metastrongyloid parasite that uses rodents as definitive hosts, mollusks as intermediate hosts, and a wide range of invertebrate and vertebrate species as paratenic hosts. Although this parasite poses a significant public health concern in many regions of the world, it can also cause disease in numerous domestic and wildlife aberrant host species. When parasite larvae are ingested by one of these aberrant hosts, larval migration in the central nervous system causes extensive damage, resulting in spinal cord and/or brain damage and inflammation, leading to potentially fatal neurological disease. We describe the detection of A. cantonensis in a novel host, the Florida burrowing owl (Athene cunicularia floridana) on Marco Island, Collier County, Florida. The Florida burrowing owl is a state-listed species that has experienced steep population declines across its range, primarily due to habitat loss and fragmentation. Many populations are now restricted to urban environments, which pose novel threats to the owls, such as exposure to anticoagulant rodenticides and novel pathogens, increased risk of predation, vehicular strike, and increased disturbance at nest sites.
Methods and Results: Through diagnostic evaluation of carcasses and select tissues submitted to the Southeastern Cooperative Wildlife Disease Study from 2019 to 2023, we diagnosed nine confirmed or suspected cases of angiostrongylosison Marco Island. Microscopic examination and PCR testing confirmed parasite identification. Additionally, ancillary testing ruled out other potential causes of neurological disease, such as rodenticides, West Nile virus, and highly pathogenic avian influenza virus.
Conclusions: This study underscores the importance of surveillance and monitoring efforts for A. cantonensis, particularly in regions where novel hosts may serve as indicators of public health risk. Additionally, as urbanization and habitat fragmentation continue encroaching upon wildlife habitats, understanding the dynamics of host-parasite interactions becomes crucial for mitigating the spread of zoonotic diseases.

Published: December 2024

Abstract

The link between the structural organization of the fibrillar components of lung extracellular matrix (ECM), local tissue stiffness and global viscoelastic behavior is not known. Here we investigated the effect of injurious mechanical ventilation on the local lung tissue stiffness using 4D synchrotron phase-contrast micro-CT, in normal lung and 7 days after intratracheal bleomycin induced lung injury in anesthetized rats. Quantitative maps of local lung strain (e) were computed within aerated lung acini, using a stepwise image registration method. Fibrillar organization of collagen and elastin at the nanoscale was measured using synchrotron small-angle x-ray scattering (SAXS). Local microscopic tissue e was reduced in the aerated acini of normal lungs post injurious ventilation and in bleomycin-injured lungs and was associated with an increase in dynamic elastance (H). The scattering peak angle (q) which is inversely related to fibril d-spacing, was decreased by injurious ventilation indicating an elongation of the collagen fibrils in both normal and bleomycin-injured lung. There was a positive relationship between collagen periodicity and global tissue elastance, while an inverse relation was observed with tissue hysteresis. Our data demonstrate the effect of both bleomycin-induced lung injury and high-strain mechanical ventilation on the nanoscale fibrillar organization of collagen and for the first time, a link between collagen d-spacing and global lung tissue stiffening and viscoelastic behavior.
Experimental study on normalized characteristics of secondary consolidation of organic soil improved by bioenzyme
Authors: zhang yixin 
Published: December 2024

Abstract

Based on the secondary consolidation test of organic soil improved by bioenzyme, the normalization characteristics of strain-time relationship of improved organic soil was studied. Under different loading ratios, the normalized equation of strain-time relationship for improved organic soil based on ratios of bioenzyme was proposed. Through the secondary consolidation test of improved organic soil with different ratios of bioenzyme, the strain-time relationship curve was an obvious hyperbola. Based on the fitting method of hyperbolic model parameters, the influence of ratios of bioenzyme on related parameters was analyzed. The expression of the relationship between the ratios of bioenzyme and related parameters was proposed. Using the secondary consolidation strain limit value \(\:{\epsilon\:}_{\text{u}\text{l}\text{t}}\) as the normalization factor, the normalization characteristics of the strain-time relationship of the improved organic soil under different ratios of bioenzyme and different consolidation loads were analyzed. The normalized degree of strain-time relationship was high. The established normalization equation of strain-time relationship was used to predict the strain-time curve of organic soil improved by bioenzyme. The test value was in good agreement with the prediction value. It could better predict the strain-time relationship of organic soil improved by bioenzyme under different loading ratios, different ratios of bioenzyme and different loads.

Authors: Shu Wei-jia , Zhou Yuan-hang , Che Si-fang 
Published: December 2024

Abstract

Alleviating Multidimensional relative poverty(MRP) is indispensable for achieving Chinese modernization. Utilizing the Chinese Family Panel Studies(CFPS) data spanning from 2014 to 2022, we constructed an evaluation index system for both MRP and high-quality economic development(EHD) levels. Furthermore, we introduced the BP neural network method for precise measurement of these development levels. Concurrently, we analyzed the influence and underlying mechanisms of EHD on MRP from both theoretical and empirical perspectives. Our research findings indicate the following: (ⅰ) EHD significantly mitigates the issue of MRP. This conclusion remains valid after conducting robustness tests and addressing endogeneity concerns. (ⅱ) Heterogeneity analysis reveals that the impact of EHD exhibits significant variability on MRP. Specifically, it has a more pronounced inhibitory effect on younger age groups, those with low social capital, rural residents, and low-income groups. (ⅲ) Mechanism analysis demonstrates that EHD can alleviate MRP by fostering the development of digital inclusive finance, enhancing infrastructure construction, and increasing employment opportunities. This study offers valuable theoretical insights and decision-making references for addressing MRP.
Study on dynamic response analysis and vibration control of TV tower under wind-rain load excitation
Authors: Li Na , Cheng Zhengquan 
Published: December 2024

This study thoroughly examines the impact of the coupling effects of wind-rain load on the structural behavior of the television tower, and the effective vibration control method is employed to mitigate the dynamic response of the structure. A refined finite element model of the tower was developed, and the dynamic response characteristics of the structure under varying wind speeds and rain intensities are further investigated. Based on parameter analysis, the influence of mass ratio and frequency ratio on the damping efficiency of tuned mass damper (TMD) was revealed. The results demonstrate that compared to wind load alone, the node displacement increases more significantly near the top of the tower under wind-rain load. When the basic wind speed reaches 40 m/s, the TV tower will be damaged due to the extreme compressive stress of the 45 units on the compression side exceeding the yield strength of the members. Under extreme weather loads, the members on the compressive side at a height of 60 meters are most susceptible to yielding and entering the plastic deformation stage. The overall vibration reduction effectiveness of TMD increases with higher mass ratios, with a mass ratio of 1.5 % identified as optimal. Regarding the reduction of top displacement of the tower, the effectiveness of TMD varies with frequency ratio, showing an initial increase followed by a decrease; optimal vibration control is observed at a frequency ratio of 0.9.
Degradation of aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbon mixture by a Rhodococcus sp.
Authors: Zhang Xing , Qin Jie 
Published: December 2024

ABSTRACT

Rhodococcus sp. strain p52, an aerobic dioxin degrader, was capable of utilizing petroleum hydrocarbons as the sole sources of carbon and energy for growth. In the present study, the degradation of the mixture of aliphatic hydrocarbons (hexadecane and tetradecane) and aromatic hydrocarbons (phenanthrene and anthracene) by strain p52 was examined. The results showed that the degradation of phenanthrene was enhanced in the presence of hexadecane or tetradecane due to increased bioavailability and improved cell surface hydrophobicity, which facilitated better substrate uptake. Conversely, the degradation of hexadecane and tetradecane decreased in the presence of aromatic hydrocarbons, likely due to the cometabolic effect, metabolic regulation, substrate competition, and the shift in enzyme activity. Moreover, the removal of 4.4 g L−1 diesel fuel, a complex mixture of aliphatic hydrocarbons and aromatic hydrocarbons, was investigated and 63.7% of oil contents were depleted within 96 h. Therefore, strain p52 showed the potential to remove petroleum pollutants.
A Case Report of Severe Hypothyroidism-induced Cardiomyopathy and Anemia: The Concealed Cause
Authors: Tabatabai Sadeq , Barzargani Nooshin 
Published: December 2024

Background:
Cardiomyopathies are a broad range of cardiac illnesses defined by mechanical and/or electrical dysfunction and abnormal ventricular hypertrophy
or dilatation. Cardiomyopathies are classified into two categories: either primarily related to myocardial disease or secondary to other systemic or
organ disorders, including the thyroid gland. Thyroid hormones have been linked to a wide range of significant effects on the cardiovascular
system.

Case Presentation:
We experienced a case of a 37-year-old male who presented with symptoms of heart failure and was discovered to have dilated cardiomyopathy.
The echocardiography study revealed significant left ventricular global hypokinesia and severely depressed left ventricular systolic function. The
laboratory testing confirms the presence of severe normocytic, normochromic anemia with severe hypothyroidism

Conclusion:
The present case illustrates that hypothyroidism should be addressed systematically by healthcare providers when dilated cardiomyopathy is
identified, and thyroid function testing should be regularly performed.
