Published: September 2024

BACKGROUND
Cases of myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) antibody-related disease have a history of coronavirus disease 2019 infection or its vaccination before disease onset. Severe acute respiratory syndrome virus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection has been considered to be a trigger of central nervous system autoimmune diseases.
CASE SUMMARY
Here we report a 20-year male with MOG-associated transverse myelitis after a SARS-CoV-2 infection. The patient received a near-complete recovery after standard immunological treatments.
CONCLUSION
Attention should be paid to the evaluation of typical or atypical neurological symptoms that may be triggered by SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Published: September 2024

BACKGROUND
Secondary rectal linitis plastica (RLP) from prostatic adenocarcinoma is a rare and poorly understood form of metastatic spread, characterized by a desmoplastic response and concentric rectal wall infiltration with mucosal preservation. This complicates endoscopic diagnosis and can mimic gastrointestinal malignancies. This case series underscores the critical role of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in identifying the distinct imaging features of RLP and highlights the importance of considering this condition in the differential diagnosis of patients with a history of prostate cancer.
CASE SUMMARY
Three patients with secondary RLP due to prostatic adenocarcinoma presented with varied clinical features. The first patient, a 76-year-old man with advanced prostate cancer, had rectal pain and incontinence. MRI showed diffuse prostatic invasion and significant rectal wall thickening with a characteristic "target sign" pattern. The second, a 57-year-old asymptomatic man with elevated prostate-specific antigen levels and a history of prostate cancer exhibited rectoprostatic angle involvement and rectal wall thickening on MRI, with positron emission tomography/computed tomography PSMA confirming the prostatic origin of the metastatic spread. The third patient, an 80-year-old post-radical prostatectomy, presented with refractory constipation. MRI revealed a neoplastic mass infiltrating the rectal wall. In all cases, MRI consistently showed stratified thickening, concentric signal changes, restricted diffusion, and contrast enhancement, which were essential for diagnosing secondary RLP. Biopsies confirmed the prostatic origin of the neoplastic involvement in the rectum.
CONCLUSION
Recognizing MRI findings of secondary RLP is essential for accurate diagnosis and management in prostate cancer patients.

Published: September 2024

The role of universities is gradually changing in our modern world of globalization. First of all, universities have recently stood out as important actors in the economic, cultural, and social transformation of the city they are located in. Therefore, universities are important social actors and play a key role in the development of their cities. Despite the increase in the number of universities in Kazakhstan, the limited number of studies on university-city interaction necessitated field research that would provide quantitative and qualitative information on the subject. In addition, they aim to present scientific information that will enable the formation of meaningful social, cultural, and economic policies to parties such as central government and local government. Therefore, local and central administrators, non-governmental and professional organizations responsible for the development of both the city and higher education institutions, as well as the people of the city of Turkistan, are included in the fieldwork. The results showed that the Akhmet Yassawi University is one of the important factors influencing the social, economic, and cultural development of the city and that the people of Turkistan think that the University has a positive impact on their city. Therefore, it was concluded that there is a mutual and strong interaction between Akhmet Yassawi University and the people of Turkistan.

Published: September 2024

The studied area, located in the surface region of the Republic of Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan, has become an object of increased interest in recent years. It is important to increase the share of the Ustyurt region in the total increase in natural gas reserves. However, the main problem faced by specialists is the need to study the location of clusters within the Moyinkum bend to determine the state of oil and gas operations. The purpose of our study is to study deeper stratigraphic complexes, including Lower-Middle Devonian and pre-Devonian fields, in order to increase the gas potential of the region. It is planned to lay an exploration well with a depth of 5,000 meters on the Jardai square. To achieve these goals, it is planned to reclaim three previously drilled wells and carry out a complex of geophysical works

Centrality of Christ in the Theology of Thomas F. Torrance
Authors: Molnar Paul D. 
Published: September 2024

Leading systematic theologian, Paul D. Molnar examines the theology of Thomas F. Torrance in three powerful essays.In a ground-breaking chapter, Molnar discusses whether Chalcedon needs to be repaired in order to recognize and maintain the full and complete humanity of Jesus Christ as the incarnate Word.
He also delves into Torrance's view of justification by grace alone and emphasizes its relation to Liberation Theology. Additionally, comparing the approaches of Karl Rahner and T. F. Torrance, this book explores and explains how a number of Rahner’s presuppositions and conclusions differ from the positions espoused by Torrance, all in order to illustrate the importance of grace in theologies of both thinkers.
Organic Modernism
Authors: Terranova Charissa N. 
Published: September 2024

When artists, scientists, and designers unite they create new ways of thinking and alternative paths to problem solving.
The first book to trace the story of British "organic modernism", this ground-breaking open access study tells the story of a collective culture of artists, scientists, and designers in 20th century united by a holistic understanding of the organic world and devoted to collaboration, cooperation, and cross-pollination of the arts and biological sciences.
Tracing how artists, scientists, and designers cooperated in various capacities from the Great Depression to postwar cybernetics, this book follows the evolution of philosophical organicism from the British Bauhaus, modern architecture, and surrealism; through to post-war socialism, the welfare state, epigenetics, biology-based art exhibitions; robotic art and design, cybernetics and ecology in art. Reacting against blunt reductionism, organic modernists implemented organicist and emergentist philosophies in scientific labs, design studios, and art ateliers, embracing complexity to solve problems in various scales and arenas, from cells to socialism. Their actions offer a template for finding meaningful agency and problem solving in today's world fraught by global climate disaster, ever-expanding economic inequalities, and backsliding democracy
A sequel to Terranova'sArt as Organism: Biology and the Evolution of the Digital Image(2016),Organic Modernismreveals the biological roots of cybernetics in the British context.

Educational Theory of the Unforeseen
Authors: Saeverot Herner , Torgersen Glenn-Egil 
Published: September 2024

Is it possible to teach, learn and train for something that is not yet known? This open access book is the first to present research-based studies of the values and dangers of unforeseen events related to education.The climate emergency, the Covid-19 pandemic, the rise of authoritarianism and extremism have placed new demands on different sectors’ views of knowledge, as well as the content and facilitation of education. The unforeseen interferes with the everyday life of everyone. The authors present pedagogy of the unforeseen as an opportunity, a productive moment, one can utilize for learning in which traditional views of knowledge, methods and strategies must be challenged. They argue that less emphasis should be placed on goals and results in school-based education and for teaching methods that better prepare students for unforeseen events.

Winston Churchill
Authors: Wrigley Chris 
Published: September 2024

This illustrated A–Z biographical companion presents information about all aspects of Winston Churchill's remarkable career, spotlighting the events and people with whom he was most closely associated.
When Winston Churchill was still in his teens, he was already a man in a hurry—partly due to his fear that, like his father, he would die young. Born into aristocratic politics, he sought glory through battle as a means to secure a position in politics, fame, and money through the writing of books. To promote their careers, both he and his father made full use of their family connections and the allure of their social life.
Among the telling details revealed are that his mother, Jennie Jerome (Lady Randolph), was an American heiress and was his major adviser and reliable friend when he was younger, and that his wife, Clementine, disliked and distrusted many of Winston's political cronies. This A–Z biographical dictionary covers everything from his grandiose spending, trademark agar and whiskey sodas, and silk underwear to his mother's many marriages and affairs, and his relationships with Edward VIII and Queen Elizabeth II.
Words and Music of Ice Cube
Authors: Woldu Gail Hilson 
Published: September 2024

Ice Cube is one of the most influential figures in the history of rap and hip-hop. Best known for the vitriol of his angry black man recordings of the late 1980s and mid 1990s, Ice Cube epitomizes the genre often referred to as gangsta rap. Much of his music from these years is focused on the disturbing realities of life in black urban ghettos, and as a result it chronicles such complex and controversial issues as racial stereotypes, street gangs, racial profiling, black on black crime, teen pregnancy, absentee fathers, and male-female relationships. His recordings with NWA are noteworthy for their sardonic humor in discussing dire issues. The group's landmark CDStraight Outta Compton(1988) is a palette of urban woes recounted in aggressive and hostile street vernacular, while Ice Cube's recordings of the 1990s now represent paradigms of the gangsta style.
The first three chapters ofThe Words and Music of Ice Cubeexplore Ice Cube's recordings between 1988 and 1996 and situate Ice Cube in the context of other rappers of this period-most notably Public Enemy, Ice-T, Tupac, Biggie, and Snoop Dogg-whose music also chronicled explosive issues in urban ghettos. The fourth chapter considers Ice Cube's career in film, beginning with a discussion of his performance inBoyz n the Hoodand ending with a look at his most recent films,Barber Shop, Barber Shop II, Are We There Yet?AndAre We Done Yet?The fifth and final chapter looks back over all of Ice Cube's work to date and considers his impact and his legacy in music and popular culture at large. .

Political Economy
Authors: Clark Barry 
Published: September 2024

This text is designed to provide a balance to the exclusive focus on technique that has come to dominate recent economic education. By integrating material from political theory, sociological theory, and philosophy with economic analysis, Barry Clark provides a comprehensive overview of political/economic thought and reveals the underlying value judgments and ideological commitments that fuel debates over public policy. He offers a historical perspective, tracing contemporary debates back to their origins in the European industrialization process; a comparative approach, examining various political/economic perspectives and ideologies; and an integrative viewpoint, including both positive and normative approaches to understanding society.
Recognizing the absence of any consensus about the meaning of political economy, Clark begins his work with a two-chapter introduction to the alternative meanings and historical evolution of political economy. The next four chapters present detailed analyses of the thinkers and perspectives that make up four comparative approaches: Classical Liberal, Radical, Conservative, and Modern Liberal. The final nine chapters cover major issues in modern political economy, and for each issue the analysis and policies offered by each of the four ideologies are considered. Among the topics addressed are the role of government, business cycles, poverty, labor relations, discrimination, gender, the environment, and international development. This work is designed as a textbook for a semester-long course in Political Economy, History of Economic Thought, or Political Theory, and will also be a valuable supplemental resource for economics and political science courses. Public and academic libraries will find it to be a valuable addition to their collections.
