INTRODUCTION. Consideration of cultural aspects in education is a relevant issue today, as it enhances the overall cultural level of individuals and aids in addressing key tasks facing education in the Russian Federation. Addressing these aspects at different levels of education, such as primary, secondary, and higher education, primarily involves exploring the cultural traditions of the country, as it is a complex of knowledge and value representations related to artistic, aesthetic, physical, political, familial, behavioral, and other components that define harmonious interactions among individuals within a cohesive society. The purpose of the study is to reveal the importance of applying the main cultural aspects at different stages of personality development in education.MATERIALS AND METHODS. The material presented is derived from methods of analysis, generalization, and systematization of knowledge regarding the role of cultural aspects and principles in modern education, as well as their applicability.RESULTS AND DISCUSSION. By exploring various cultural traditions, learners acquire the basics of intercultural communication and the unique cultural characteristics of each nation, which enables them to understand the historical, sociocultural, and spiritual traits of the Russian people and the possibilities for peaceful, respectful coexistence among nations.CONCLUSION. Cultural aspects serve as a guiding framework for the development of a creative, self-developing personality.

Published: October 2024

Background:
Age is a preoperative prognostic factor for radial closing wedge osteotomy (RCWO) in Kienbock disease. Specifically, for cases classified as Lichtman stage III, clear criteria for selecting RCWO have not been established. We believe that age can provide vital information for determining the appropriate surgical procedure for Kienbock disease. The aim of this study was to investigate RCWO outcomes for Lichtman stage III by examining different age groups from clinical and radiological perspectives.

Methods:
Sixteen patients with Lichtman stage III Kienbock disease underwent RCWO. The median age was 59 years, and the median follow-up period was 2.9 years. We determined the age cutoffs for clinical and radiological outcomes using a receiver operating characteristic curve. Subsequently, we conducted intergroup comparisons of postoperative outcomes between the younger and older age groups.

Results:
Age cutoffs were established at 52.5 and 30 years for clinical and radiological outcomes, respectively. In the comparative analysis, the younger age group (≤52 years; n = 7) demonstrated significantly superior clinical results, including improved range of motion and pain relief, higher postoperative Mayo Wrist Score, and lower Disability of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand scores. From a radiological perspective, the younger age group (≤30 years; n = 3) experienced segmented lunate bone fragments healing, indicating an improved disease stage compared with the older group.

Conclusion:
Based on previous literature and our research findings, it is reasonable to conclude that RCWO results in improved clinical outcomes for patients up to their mid-50s and enhanced radiological outcomes for those up to approximately at the age of 30 years. Further studies on these age cutoffs will contribute to refining the surgical selection criteria for RCWO.

Multi-locus investigation of Anopheles-mediated selective pressure on Plasmodium falciparum in Africa
Authors: Gunarathna Isuru , Spear Joseph D. , Carter Tamar E. 
Published: October 2024

Abstract

Background: The high burden of malaria in Africa is largely due to the presence of competent and adapted Anopheles vector species. With invasive Anopheles stephensi implicated in malaria outbreaks in Africa, understanding the genomic basis of vector-parasite compatibility is essential for assessing the risk of future outbreaks due to this mosquito. Vector compatibility with P. falciparum arises from ancient coevolution and involves genes like Pfs47 in P. falciparum and P47Rec in Anopheles. Questions remain about whether sub-continental vector variation is a selective pressure on current Plasmodium populations or not.
Methods: We analyzed the genetic diversity in parasite-vector interaction genes in P. falciparum and An. gambiae from 9 and 15 countries in Africa, respectively. Specifically, we looked for evidence of malaria vector-mediated selection within three P. falciparum genes (Pfs47, Pfs16, Pfs37) and conducted association analyses with occurrence probabilities of prominent malaria vectors (VOP).
Results: Higher protein haplotype diversities of Pfs47 and Pfs16 were associated with the probability of occurrence of An. arabiensis and An. funestus together. Only Pfs16 carried a signature of positive selection consistently (average Tajima’s D = -2.96) which was associated with the probability of occurrence of An. funestus. These findings support vector-mediated selection based on vector species diversity may be occurring within Africa. We also employed phylogenetic analyses of An. gambiae interaction genes (P47Rec, APN1, HPX15) to identify significant subspecies diversity as a prerequisite to vector-population-mediated selection. An. gambiae HPX15 revealed significant sub-species differentiation (multiple branches bootstrap >70) compared to absence of variation in P47Rec, suggesting further investigation into sub-species mediated selection based on HPX15 is needed. Finally, we observed five amino acid changes at P47Rec in invasive An. stephensi compared to dominant African Anophelesspecies, calling for further investigation of the impact these distinct P47Rec variants would have on local African P. falciparum Pfs47 diversity.
Conclusion: Overall, these findings support the notion that vector variation within Africa could influence P. falciparumdiversity and lay a genomic framework for future investigation of invasive An. stephensi's impact on African malaria.

Abstract

Background
Cancer is a pressing global health concern, making effective cancer control planning crucial. This is emphasized by the objectives in target 3.4 of the Sustainable Development Goals and the CanScreen 5 project from the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC). The objective of this study was to provide a comprehensive overview of breast, cervix, prostate, colorectal cancer screening practices within the Iranian adult population in the year 2021.
Methods
Using nationally and sub-nationally representative STEPS 2021 data, this study included 27,874 participants aged 18 and above from urban and rural Iran. Participants were asked if they had ever undergone screening for breast, cervical, colorectal, or prostate cancer. Socio-demographic factors such as age, sex, employment, marriage status, education, and wealth index were included. Weighted prevalence, mean, SD, and 95% CIs were reported. The 2016 National Population and Housing Census was used for direct age standardization. Univariate and multiple logistic regression estimated crude and adjusted ORs with 95% CIs for cancer screening participation.
Results
The age standardized prevalence of participating in cancer screening programs is as follows: breast cancer (24.99%, 95% CI: 24.22–25.76), cervical cancer (42.16%, 41.29–43.02), colorectal cancer in females (7.50%, 7.03–7.98), colorectal cancer in males (6.16%, 5.69–6.63), and prostate cancer (12.29%, 11.64–12.95). For all cancers, complementary health insurance coverage was associated with higher cancer screening participation. Additionally, for all cancers except breast cancer, basic health insurance was also linked to higher screening participation. In cervical cancer screening, human papillomavirus vaccination and urban residency were associated with higher participation, while for colon cancer in both men and women, rural residency was linked to higher participation, based on the adjusted model.
Conclusion
Cancer screening participation rates in Iran fall below expectations, particularly in meeting targets set by the World Health Organization Cervical Cancer Elimination Initiative for 2030 emphasizing to screen at least 70% of women between the age of 35 and 45. Implementing best-buy interventions from the Global Action Plan for Noncommunicable Diseases, scaling up prevention, prioritizing screening and early diagnosis, and strengthening cancer services are essential for improving coverage and participation in cancer screening programs.

Abstract

Cell division is a major event in tissue homeostasis, enabling renewal and regeneration. Stem cells, in particular, play an important role in this homeostasis, thanks to their ability to perform symmetric or asymmetric cell divisions. To study cell division, the human colon epithelium represents a model of choice due to its rapid renewal and therefore high proliferative potential. Currently, studying the live mechanical interactions between the epithelium and its matrix in vivo is challenging due to the lack of suitable methods. 3D human colon organoids seeded in Matrigel® are good models for this purpose as, from isolated stem cells, they recapitulate the tissue architecture organization and properties. This culture set-up also allows to study the matrix displacements around the organoid. Here, we studied the impact of cell division within the colonic epithelium on the extracellular matrix. We performed and validated an original experimental and analytical process with a 3D time-lapse confocal microscopy to follow cell mitosis and matrix movements on which we performed Digital Volume Correlation. We showed that these two different types of cell division impact the matrix differently with the asymmetric divisions causing a mainly uniaxial displacement, whereas symmetric ones involved a multiaxial and more important one.

Abstract

Aims and Objective: The study aimed to evaluate the feasibility and preliminary effects of a SAR intervention on patient engagement, perceived quality of care, and health-related quality of life in surgical wards.
Background: The healthcare sector faces significant challenges, including workforce shortages and increasing demands. Socially Assistive Robots (SARs) have emerged as a potential solution to enhance patient outcomes, such as engagement, perceived quality of care, and health-related quality of life. However, their implementation in hospital wards remains largely unexplored.
Methods: We conducted a randomized trial in the thoracic surgery and abdominal and general surgery wards in the University Medical Center Maribor. Patients (N = 229) were allocated to either the SAR intervention group (standard care + SAR) or the control group receiving only standard care. The SAR intervention involved daily interactions for patient education and support. Outcomes included patient engagement , perceived quality of care, and health-related quality of life. We additionally explored the moderators that may alter the effects of the intervention.
Results: The overall retention rate was 78.2% (90.1% in control and 66.9% in intervention), and the overall retention of patients from baseline to post-intervention was 86.9% (90.1% in control and 83.2% in intervention) demonstrating feasibility rather than attrition. While overall changes in patient engagement were not statistically significant, the intervention group showed a slight increase compared to a decrease in the control group. Perceived quality of care decreased significantly in both groups. The SAR intervention had a significant positive effect on pain/discomfort management. The department and acceptance of robots moderated the intervention's impact on patient engagement.
Conclusions: The study demonstrates the feasibility of implementing SAR interventions in surgical wards. While the observed overall effects on patient engagement and perceived care quality were limited, the positive impact on pain management and the moderating effects of contextual factors highlight the potential of SAR in specific domains. Furthermore, we did not detect any negative effects of the intervention. Future research should consider longer intervention periods, larger sample sizes, and more department-specific applications to fully realize the benefits of SAR in surgical care settings.

Abstract

Background
Abnormal blinking is a common symptom shared by allergic conjunctivitis (AC), dry eye disease (DED), and tic disorders (TD). This study explored clinical manifestations of TD in patients with the chief complaint of abnormal blinking; its goal was to reduce misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis.
Methods
In total, 1054 patients with the chief complaint of abnormal blinking completed a questionnaire and underwent comprehensive ophthalmic examinations and mental health assessments. Questionnaire data were compiled for patients with a confirmed diagnosis of TD; their clinical characteristics were analyzed.
Results
Of the 1054 patients presenting with abnormal blinking, 453 (42.98%) were diagnosed with a TD. Among these 453 patients, 253 (55.63%) had transient tic disorder (TTD). 121 (26.71%) patients initially were misdiagnosed (primarily with AC) or experienced a missed diagnosis; Patients with TTD were more likely to seek ophthalmologic care, whereas those with CTD or TS were more likely to visit a pediatrician(P < 0.001). The predominant eye tics were excessive and/or frequent blinking; 438 (96.69%) patients exhibited tics other than eye tics. Among the TD patients, 371 (81.90%) reported ocular symptoms, whereas 336 (74.17%) had comorbid eye diseases including AC and DED. TTD patients with AC had higher incidences of allergic rhinitis and asthma compared with patients displaying CTD and TS (P < 0.05).
Conclusions
TD are major causes of abnormal blinking, and TTD is the most common subtype. TD patients with abnormal blinking often have comorbid eye diseases, primarily AC and DED.
A worldwide mapping of the technical potential for floating urban development offshore
Authors: Bikker Lieke , Fishman Tomer , Wang Gil 
Published: October 2024

Abstract

Land scarcity, population growth, climate change adaptation, sustainability development goals, and disaster mitigation in coastal cities are some of the main factors motivating research on large floating solutions for urban needs. For three decades, conceptual and fundamental studies have explored the field of large floating solutions from various technological perspectives, providing mainly proof-of-concept for this novel approach. However, little is currently known about the actual potential and the scale of implementation for urban development offshore. Using a parametric worldwide GIS model, this research evaluates the concept of modular floating structures (MFS), designed for sustainable offshore urban development, on a global scale. It shows that MFS technology could potentially house up to one third of the current global population in the adjacent marine environment of coastal cities, providing a sustainable alternative to alleviate the pressure of onshore development and its associated impacts using only 0.05% of ocean space.
