Authors: Podgórniak-Krzykacz Aldona , Przywojska Justyna 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
Many countries are currently facing the challenges of demographic aging and the transition to sustainable development. Under these conditions, promoting a sustainable model of food consumption among the elderly appears to be a desirable direction for policy intervention. The aim of the study is to measure sustainable food purchasing behaviour among consumers 55+ and to identify its determinants. Our study revealed, based on the results of a survey carried out among 401 Poles aged 55+, that the food purchasing behaviour of silver consumers is sustainable. It manifests in the strongest way in buying food in appropriate quantities and packing food in its own packaging. We used correlation and regression analyses to examine the presence of relationships between food purchasing behaviour and its predictors. Factors influencing the choices of consumers aged 55+ include personal and social norms, as well as perceived environmental awareness. Research results have enabled us to propose a conceptual framework for enhancing sustainable food consumption among silver customers.

Abstract
Access to recreational areas is particularly important in the context of improving the quality of life in cities. One of the valuable elements of such areas may be water reservoirs and their accompanying springs. An example of such a recreational area is the so-called Palowice Lake District (southern Poland), which includes three water reservoirs, ten breeding ponds and two springs from which water is taken. Water from the springs is considered to be of very good quality and is regularly consumed by residents of nearby towns as well as tourists. The quality of these waters is influenced by natural factors such as weathering of rocks, evapotranspiration, atmospheric deposition, climate change, but also by anthropogenic factors such as industrial effluents, domestic activities, tourist traffic and agricultural activities. However, the results of research conducted in the area of the springs indicate the presence of E. coli and enterococci in the water. The latter are characterized by longer survival in water. Consuming such water may lead to the development of numerous digestive system diseases, hence the issue of protecting water resources in urbanized areas, including conducting representative monitoring of the quality of these waters, is extremely important.

Objective: to develop a convolutional neural network (CNN) model to classify the presence and severity of central lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) during MRI examination and to demonstrate its effectiveness as an accurate and consistent diagnostic tool.Methods. Morphological classifications of LSS and quantitative measurements of key anatomical structures were combined using two CNNs. To classify central stenosis, models were trained on 1635 labeled lumbar spine MRI studies consisting of T2-weighted sagittal and axial planes at the level of each vertebra. The accuracy of the model was assessed using an external validation set of 150 MRI studies graded by a panel of 7 radiologists as: no stenosis, mild, moderate or severe spinal canal stenosis. The reference value for all types of stenosis was determined by majority vote, and in the event of disagreement, a decision was made by an external radiologist. The radiologists' interpretations were then compared with those of the trained model.Results. The model demonstrated comparable performance to the average radiologist both in identifying the presence/absence of LSS and in classifying severity for all 3 types of stenosis. For central canal stenosis, the sensitivity and specificity of the CNN were (0.93; 0.85) for binary classification (presence/absence) compared to the average radiologist (0.86; 0.86). For lateral pocket stenosis, the sensitivity and specificity of CNN were (0.92; 0.80) compared to the radiologist's mean (0.83; 0.94). For foraminal stenosis, the sensitivity and specificity of CNN were (0.89; 0.86) compared to the radiologist's mean (0.81; 0.91). Multiclass classification of stenosis severity showed similar statistics.Conclusions. CNNs showed comparable performance to radiologists in detecting and classifying LSS. The integration of neural network models in pathology detection could provide higher accuracy, efficiency, systematicity, and the possibility of subsequent interpretation in diagnostic practice.

Published: February 2025

The aim of the study was to study the characteristic CT and MRI features of phosphaturic mesenchymal tumors.Material and methods. CT and MRI images of 13 patients with phosphaturic mesenchymal tumors were analyzed. The size, localization, shape, contours, structure of the tumor, accumulation of contrast agent, a position relative to the cortical layer, and size of the lymph nodes were assessed.Results. Eight bone tumors (average size 23 ± 9.6 mm) and 5 soft tissue tumors (36.2 ± 47.5 mm) were detected.In patients with soft tissue tumors, the oval shape was predominant. The contours of all tumors were smooth, the tumors were adjacent to the cortical bone layer according to CT data in 75% of cases. According to MRI data, in all cases the tumors were adjacent to the cortical bone layer. In half of cases, calcifications were determined in the tumor structure. The structure of the tumor according to CT data was homogeneous, while in half of the cases, septa were visualized on MRI images. Soft tissue tumors intensively enhanced on CT and MRI. In patients with bone tumor, rounded shapes predominated. In one case, a large sacral tumor (measuring about 40 mm) prolapsed into the spinal canal. The tumors were predominantly osteolytic with sclerotic contours and were located subcortically. Osteoid or chondroid matrix in the form of calcifications was determined in the structure. According to CT data, in 3 cases the tumors intensively enhanced, in 3 cases they did not enhance, and in 1 observation there was a weak enhancement. In MRI, all lesions intensively enhanced.Conclusion. Phosphaturic mesenchymal tumor can occur in bones and soft tissues. CT and MRI allow to identify them and determine the boundaries of surgical resection, but should be used as second-line diagnostic methods after radioisotope methods. The use of a new diagnostic feature: the adjacency of bone and soft tissue formations to the cortical layer, and focusing attention by radiologists on this area may reduce the risk of “missing” the tumor.
Shear-Wave Dispersion Slope (SWDS) is a new ultrasound parameter to detect liver inflammation
Authors: Zykin B. I. , Ionova E. A. , Anosova T. A. 
Published: February 2025

Background: one of the most pressing problems of ultrasound shear wave elastometry of the liver is the lack of distinct digital differential diagnostic criteria for the presence and severity of fibrosis in inflammation.Purpose. To evaluate the possibility of a new ultrasonic parameter – the shear wave dispersion slope (SWDS) in solving this problem.Materials and methods. 156 patients with various liver pathologies were examined. Depending on the absence or presence of fibrosis, as well as inflammatory changes in the liver (according to biopsy and serological blood tests), the examined patients were divided into three groups. The control group consisted of 10 healthy donors. Measurements of the shear wave velocity (SWS), shear wave dispersion slope (SWDS) and the assessment of ultrasound attenuation (ATI) in the liver were performed using the Canon Medical Aplio i800 ultrasound diagnostic system (Tokyo, Japan) using a standard convex transducer.Results. The indicators of SWS, SWDS and ATI (Median and 95% CI) in the control group were Me 1.2 (95% CI 1.1–1.6) m/s, Me 10.1 (95% CI 9.7–14.3) m/s/kHz and Me 0.54 (95% CI 0.41–0.63) dB/cm/MHz, respectively. The study of the main group showed that there is a close correlation between SWS and SWDS (Spearman's rho = 0.74). At the same time, patients in the subgroup with inflammation had significantly (p < 0.01) higher SWDS values compared with the control group and the subgroup without inflammation – Me 16.4 (95% CI 15.3–17.9) m/s/kHz versus Me 10.1 (95% CI 9.7–14.3) m/s/kHz and Me 12.7 (95%CI 12.1–14.3) m/s/kHz. In patients of the subgroup with fibrosis, but without inflammation, there was also a significant (p < 0.01) increase in SWDS from Me 12,0 (95% CI 11.4–12.8) m/s/kHz at F0-1 to Me 16,5 (95% CI 12.9–20.3) m/s/kHz at F3–4 METAVIR.Conclusion. The use of absolute SWDS values did not contribute to the achievement of the purpose of this study – the detection of criteria for the differential diagnosis of the presence and severity of liver fibrosis in patients with hepatitis. Nevertheless, the results of the study provide grounds for making a fairly confident conclusion that the assessment of the relationship between SWDS and SWS using the binary logistic regression formula (logit(p) = 0, 4152 SWDS (м/с/кГц) – 0,1344 SWS (м/с) – 6,5115) can become a valuable additional method for ultrasound diagnostics of inflammatory changes in the liver.
Psychological effects of precocious puberty on young girls and their mothers
Authors: Algedik Pinar , Kirmizibekmez Heves , Dursun Fatma 
Published: February 2025

Objectives
Puberty is a period during which children undergo significant biological, physical, and emotional changes. Parents are often concerned about early sexual maturation. This study aimed to investigate the psychological impact of early pubertal onset on girls and their mothers.

Material and Methods
A pediatric psychiatrist evaluated female patients with early breast enlargement and their mothers. Children and adolescents were assessed using a Behavior Assessment Scale and a Depression Scale, while their mothers were assessed using the Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale, and the Positive and Negative Emotion Scale.

Results
Twenty-one female subjects, 14 with early breast development and seven controls with no signs of puberty, were evaluated. The mean age at the onset of puberty signs was 7.25 ± 0.42 years. Somatic complaints, social problems, and slow cognitive tempo scores were significantly higher in patients with central precocious puberty (CPP) in comparison to both the premature thelarche (PT) patients and the control group. Maternal anxiety scores were higher in both the CPP and PT groups compared to the controls.

Conclusion
Higher anxiety scores in the mothers of girls with both CPP and PT indicate that the physical changes have an impact on maternal anxiety. Higher scores in girls with true CPP than those with still prepubertal hormone levels indicated that the activation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis and associated biological alterations may influence the psychological, cognitive, and behavioral status of the child.
Femoral to sciatic nerve transfer: A cadaver study
Authors: Trudrung Melissa , Mickelson Ethan , Attaluri Pradeep , George Robert Edward , Gander Brian , Hanna Amgad 
Published: February 2025

Background
Proximal sciatic nerve injuries are a challenge to treat due to the limited options for donor nerves and the long distance needed for regeneration.

Methods
In our cadaveric study using five human cadavers, we aimed to evaluate the feasibility of transferring the tibial and common peroneal components of the sciatic nerve to the femoral nerve motor branches of the vastus medialis (VM) and vastus lateralis without the need for interposition nerve graft. The femoral nerve branches of the VM and lateralis were exposed anteriorly. The sciatic nerve was exposed posteriorly and passed through a narrow window within the adductor magnus and medial to the femur. The sciatic nerve was then separated into its tibial and peroneal components, which were then coapted to the VM and lateralis motor branches of the femoral nerve.

Results
Using the entire tibial and peroneal components of the sciatic nerve, we were able to gain more length and directly coapt the femoral nerve branches without utilizing interposition grafts. The disadvantage of this technique is suturing to a mixed nerve with motor and sensory components, which could compromise functional outcomes. Further studies are needed to determine how the procedure will impact a patient’s gait cycle.

Conclusion
Clinical application is needed to determine preliminary outcomes before widespread utilization of this technique.
L’angady (Madagascar), un outil agricole et une dimension culturelle. Réflexions sur l’adoption d’innovations de type Agriculture de Conservation en petit paysannat malgache
Authors: Feller Christian , Ranaivoson Dominique , Penot Éric 
Published: February 2025

Description du sujet. L'angady (bêche malgache) et son utilisation agricole (labour) sont encore très présentes aujourd'hui dans le petit paysannat à Madagascar. Objectifs. Cet article vise (i) à préciser l’importance et la place de cet outil dans l’équipement agricole du petit paysannat, (ii) à faire ressortir les dimensions culturelles qui lui sont attachées et (iii) à poser quelques réflexions sur l’attitude du paysan malgache vis-à-vis des pratiques de non-labour telles que celles préconisées dans l’« agriculture de conservation ». Méthode. Pour les objectifs (i) et (ii), il s’agit de simples études bibliographiques. Pour l’objectif (iii), la réflexion s’appuie sur les résultats d’un projet de développement basé sur l’agriculture de conservation ainsi que sur une évaluation post-projet. Résultats. Il est montré que l'angady est toujours très présente et dominante dans l’équipement du paysan malgache mais au-delà du simple outil agricole, l’angady est aussi un objet culturel associé au labour et qui fait partie symboliquement de l'identité du paysan malgache. Un vaste projet de développement agricole autour de l’« agriculture de conservation » – dont l’un des principes est l’abandon total ou partiel du labour – a été mené à Madagascar pendant plus de 10 ans mais avec un niveau d’appropriation par le petit paysannat malgache relativement faible et une diffusion très limitée. Conclusions. Les résultats publiés ainsi que l’évaluation qui en a été faite post-projet conduisent les auteurs de cet article à émettre l’hypothèse (qui reste à tester), qu’au-delà des conclusions principales des évaluateurs, la dimension culturelle de l’angady pourrait être prise, au moins partiellement, en considération pour expliquer ce faible niveau d’appropriation des pratiques alternatives proposées par la recherche.

В данном исследовании рассматривается организация комплексной системы по обращению с отходами строительства и сноса, сложившаяся на сегодняшний день в Московской области. Рекордные объемы строительства жилья, объектов инфраструктуры, сноса ветхого жилого фонда в рамках программы реновации в данном регионе привели к образованию огромного количества отходов строительства, сноса и грунта. Отсутствие цивилизованного обращения с данными отходами и эффективных технологий по их переработке приводит к переполнению действующих полигонов, росту количества несанкционированных свалок, наносит значительный ущерб экологии региона. Предложены меры по обеспечению эффективного и качественного развития системы обращения с отходами в данном регионе. На базе бывших региональных полигонов ТКО предложено создание специализированных комплексов по переработке отходов строительства, сноса и грунта, в том числе и смешанных, логистически удобных для отходопроизводителей, обладающих набором передовых технологий и современным оборудованием по переработки различных строительных отходов, которые в дальнейшем должны стать центрами цивилизованного рециклинга и составной частью создаваемой инфраструктуры системы обращения с отходами строительства, сноса и грунта.
This study examines the organization of a comprehensive system for handling construction and demolition waste that has developed to date in the Moscow Region. Record volumes of housing construction, infrastructure facilities, and demolition of dilapidated housing stock as part of the renovation program in this region have resulted in the formation of a huge amount of construction waste, demolition waste, and soil. The lack of civilized handling of this waste and effective technologies for its processing leads to the overflow of existing landfills, an increase in the number of unauthorized dumps, and causes significant damage to the ecology of the region. Measures are proposed to ensure the effective and high-quality development of the waste management system in this region. On the basis of former regional solid municipal waste landfills, it is proposed to create specialized complexes for processing construction waste, demolition waste and soil, including mixed waste, logistically convenient for waste producers, possessing a set of advanced technologies and modern equipment for processing various construction waste, which in the future should become centers of civilized recycling and an integral part of the created infrastructure of the system for handling construction, demolition and soil waste.

Multimode approach using Reinforcement Learning and Digital Twin for operating mode management
Authors: Elqabli Zineb , Kamach Oulaid , Chater Youness 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
Managing operating modes in a multimode production system represents a complex challenge that necessitates both meticulous and reactive planning. The challenge resides in coordinating and optimizing the different modes to address variations in demand while ensuring optimum makespan. A multimode system integrates multiple operating modes to accommodate any disturbances that may affect the system. This paper addresses the issue of selecting the appropriate mode to activate in response to the occurrence of a failure. By using Reinforcement Learning (RL) and Digital Twin (DT), the RL agent uses a state space (St) provided by a Digital Twin, to target its action (A) which consists of making a decision about which mode should be activated and which modes should be deactivated. The combination of the RL agent with the multimode system via the Digital Twin enables real-time adaptation to a dynamic environment, with the possibility of virtually testing the decisions made by the RL agent before their actual implementation, and consequently enhancing the performance of complex industrial systems. An innovative multimode scheduling approach will be targeted for the discrete case.

Authors: Poloczek Roksana 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
The article explores the analysis of material flow and resource utilization in production systems using rotary tables. Through the use of simulation models in FlexSim software, the study evaluates different configurations of production lines and their impact on system performance. Three scenarios are examined, involving variations in the number of production lines and rotary tables, to identify the balance between system stability and flexibility. The findings emphasize the role of rotary tables in managing material flow effectively and ensuring smooth operations. The study also discusses the advantages of simulation in predicting operational outcomes and supporting decision-making processes, such as optimizing material flow paths and managing production resources. Challenges, including variability in system performance and the complexity of balancing multiple lines, are also addressed. The results demonstrate the value of simulation tools like FlexSim in understanding and improving production systems, highlighting their importance in strategic planning and enhancing the adaptability of modern manufacturing processes.
