ObjectiveThe aim of this study is to investigate the combined impact of the triglyceride glucose-body mass index (TyG-BMI) and hypertension on the risk of stroke among the middle-aged and older adult population in China.MethodsThis study included 6,922 participants aged 45 and above from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study, utilizing a multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression model to explore the relationship between TyG-BMI, hypertension, and the incidence of new-onset stroke events, as well as conducting Net Reclassification Improvement (NRI) and Integrated Discrimination Improvement (IDI) analyses to evaluate the predictive utility of TyG-BMI.ResultsDuring a 7-year follow-up period, a total of 401 stroke events were recorded. Compared to patients with lower TyG-BMI (TyG-BMI &lt; 199.74) levels and non-hypertension, those with elevated TyG-BMI levels and non-hypertension had an adjusted hazard ratio (HR) and 95% confidence intervals (95%CI) were 1.47 (1.05–2.05). The adjusted HR and 95%CI for the group with lower TyG-BMI levels and hypertension was 2.99 (2.17–4.12), and for those with elevated TyG-BMI levels and hypertension, the adjusted HR and 95%CI was 3.49 (2.63–4.62). In a multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression model, the combination of elevated TyG-BMI levels and hypertension, treated as routine variables, was still significantly associated with the risk of stroke. NRI and IDI analyses showed significant improvements in risk prediction with the inclusion of TyG-BMI. Furthermore, in all subgroup analyses conducted, individuals with elevated TyG-BMI levels and hypertension nearly exhibited the highest risk for incident stroke.ConclusionOur study reveals that the combined effect of TyG-BMI and hypertension may increase the risk of incident stroke in the middle-aged and older adult Chinese population. TyG-BMI correlates with comorbid conditions and enhances traditional risk assessment. Future research will require validation through larger sample sizes or diverse populations to further confirm this finding.
DiScO: novel rapid systems mapping to inform digital transformation of health systems
Authors: Katapally Tarun Reddy , Elsahli Nadine , Bhawra Jasmin 
Published: October 2024

BackgroundGlobal health systems are confronting challenges that intersect climate change with evolving communicable and non-communicable public health risks. Addressing these challenges requires systems integration via citizen big data that exist outside health systems. However, systems integration across jurisdictions is a complex challenge that requires stakeholder input. This study’s purpose was to conduct rapid systems mapping with international health system stakeholders to inform the development and implementation of a global digital citizen science observatory (DiScO), which aims to catalyze digital transformation of health systems across jurisdictions.MethodsA rapid qualitative systems mapping study was conducted during the International Society for Behavioral Nutrition and Physical Activity Annual Global Summit in Uppsala, Sweden, in June 2023. The choice of the venue and approach was informed by three key criteria: (1) Established evidence linking physical activity and nutrition with non-communicable diseases; (2) Concrete existing methods of obtaining citizen big data by physical activity and nutrition researchers; (3) Precedence of physical activity and nutrition researchers conducting citizen science as well behavioral/clinical big data collection. The design of this study was an innovative pre-post systems map development, which consisted of (1) real-time rapid systems mapping (pre/initial map) by engaging with international stakeholders and (2) adjustment of the real-time systems map (post/final map) after analyzing stakeholder discussion data.ResultsRapid systems mapping resulted in a complex network that included key themes to successfully develop and implement DiScO: priorities, opportunities, risks, challenges, partnerships, and resources. Additionally, a new theme emerged organically through stakeholder group discussions – mitigation strategies. The adapted rapid systems map (i.e., after data analyses) depicts 23 key nodes of intervention across the seven key themes.ConclusionRapid systems mapping at international symposia is a novel methodological approach to capture stakeholder input, particularly to understand complexity across international jurisdictions – an approach that can be replicated across disciplines and sectors to inform digital transformation of health systems. The development and implementation of DiScO, a platform for decentralization and democratization of technology, will take into consideration all the key nodes of intervention identified in the rapid systems map to promote digital health for equity across global jurisdictions.

Published: October 2024

IntroductionIn the early postoperative period after total knee arthroplasty (TKA), joint range of motion (ROM) limitation and increased stiffness due to pain are commonly observed. Previous studies have reported that a single bout of foam rolling (FR) can acutely increase ROM and pain threshold on the contralateral (non-intervention) side in healthy participants. In this study, we aimed to expand this knowledge for TKA rehabilitation and investigated the acute effects of FR intervention on the non-operative side on ROM, stiffness, and pain of the operative side in postoperative patients within the first week after TKA.Materials and methodsThe study employed a randomized crossover design: 20 patients (mean age 75.0 ± 7.8 years) in the first postoperative week after TKA were divided alternately into Roll_Break and Break_Roll groups in the order of prescription. In the Roll_Break group, after the initial evaluation, a 180-s (60-s × three sets) FR intervention using a roller massager by a physiotherapist for the knee extensors was performed on the contralateral side (non-operative side), followed by the measurement. Afterwards, after 180-s of supine at rest, the measurement was performed again (i.e., control phase). In the Break_Roll group, after the initial evaluation, each patient was placed in a seated resting position for 180-s, and then another measurement was performed (i.e., control phase). After this, the FR intervention was performed for 180-s, and then the measurement was performed again. The intensity of the FR intervention was set to the maximum intensity that did not cause pain. We measured pain using the visual analogue scale at rest and during the knee joint ROM measurements, knee joint active movement ROM, knee joint passive ROM, and stiffness during the knee joint active movement.ResultsAll outcome variables showed significant improvements after the FR intervention (intervention phase) when compared pre- to post-intervention, and significantly favourable effects were found compared to the control condition.ConclusionThe results showed significant improvements in ROM, pain, and stiffness of the operative side after the FR intervention on the non-operative side. For future therapy approaches for TKA patients, FR treatment of the non-operative side should be employed in the first weeks after surgery.

IntroductionChildren with chronic diseases tend to experience a considerably higher burden of oral disease compared to their healthy peers. Low awareness of the impact of systemic diseases on oral health, lack of motivation, and discomfort may render the maintenance of good oral hygiene challenging. We conducted a study of four groups of parents: of children with congenital heart disease (CHD), with diabetes mellitus type 1 (DM), and undergoing anti-cancer treatment (ACT); and a control group of healthy children (C). We aimed to compare between the groups, parental attitudes and knowledge of their children's oral health, and their reports of their children's dental habits.MethodsParents who arrived with their children for routine check-ups at three main clinics: cardiology, endocrinology, and hematology-oncology were asked to respond to a questionnaire regarding their children's oral and dental health.ResultsA total of 287 questionnaires were collected from 76 parents of children with CHD, 100 parents of children with DM, 50 parents of children undergoing ACT, and 61 parents who comprised group C. Compared to the CHD and DM groups, the ACT group demonstrated significantly more awareness of the importance of maintaining oral and dental health following diagnosis of their children's medical condition. Mothers’ education was found to correlate with dental health knowledge. Most children in the DM and C groups had previous dental examinations, compared to only half in the CHD and ACT groups. A higher proportion of the children in the C than the other groups brushed teeth twice daily. The groups were similar in their consumption of sugary drinks, and of sweets and snacks. The children's specialist physicians were the main source of information on oral health, especially in the ACT group.ConclusionsAlthough most of the parents reported awareness to the oral health aspects of their children's disease, only part of them reported that their children visited dentists, and brushed their teeth twice daily. For the parents of children with CHD, DM, and ACT, their children's treating specialists were the primary source of information regarding oral health. This highlights the importance of clear and continuous communication between pediatric specialists and dentists.

Abstract
This study investigates the development of perovskite solar cells (PSCs) equipped with distributed Bragg reflectors (DBRs) through a coating-based fabrication technique. The incorporation of DBRs enhanced the esthetic appeal and improved the light absorption properties of PSCs, rendering them suitable for building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV). The DBRs, composed of 3–11 layers of copper(I) thiocyanate and cellulose acetate, exhibited peak reflectance at 700 nm. However, as the number of DBR layers increased, there was a corresponding decrease in short-circuit current density (J
sc) and power conversion efficiency (PCE) due to greater light reflection. Specifically, compared with PSCs without DBRs, those with 11-layer DBRs showed 41.2% and 39.0% reduction in J
sc and PCE, respectively. Despite these reductions, this study highlights the potential of colored PSCs for practical BIPV applications, achieving a balance between esthetics and efficiency.

ОРИЕНТАЛИЗМЫ ТЕМАТИЧЕСКОЙ ГРУППЫ «ВЕРХНЯЯ ОДЕЖДА» В ЮЖНОСЛАВЯНСКОЙ ФРАЗЕОЛОГИИ
Authors: И.В. Кузнецова 
Published: October 2024

В работе рассматриваются фразеологические единицы народов Южной Славии с компонентами – наименованиями верхней одежды и ее деталей ориентального происхождения на фоне других языков. Эта вестиментарная лексика вошла в принимающие языки во время Османской империи и у славян Балкан настолько адаптировалась, что давно не воспринимается как чужеродная. Цель статьи – показать фразеологический потенциалназваний верхней одежды и ее деталей у южных славян Балканского полуострова, вошедших в их словари в период владычества Блистательной Порты. Актуальность работы обусловлена необходимостью комплексного изучения фразеологии южных славян для выявления универсального и идиоэтничного в этой сфере. Южнославянские примеры взяты из словарных источников и научных статей. Методы обработки фразеологического материала – компонентный, синхронно-сопоставительный, структурно-семантический, структурно-типологический. Слова, обозначающие предметы одежды, иллюстрируют разную фразообразовательную активность. Некоторые вестиментарные лексемы ориентального происхождения запечатлены только в диалектных фразеологизмах. Наблюдается эвфемистическое употребление как названий деталей одежды, так и реалий, не имеющих отношения к вестиментарной лексике. Анализ выявил межъязыковую общность мотивационных идей части структурно-семантических моделей вестиментарных фразеологизмов, а также известные лишь в одной из странБалканского полуострова обороты.
The work examines the phraseological units of the peoples of South Slavia with components – names of outerwear and its details of oriental origin against the background of other languages. This vestimental vocabulary entered the host languages during the Ottoman Empire and was so adapted by the Slavs of the Balkans that it has not been perceived as foreign for a long time. The purpose of the article is to show the phraseological potential of the names of outerwear and its details among the southern Slavs of the Balkan Peninsula, which entered their dictionaries during the reign of the Brilliant Porte. The relevance of the work is due to the need for a comprehensive study of the phraseology of the South Slavs in order to identify the universal and idioethnic in this area. South Slavic examples are taken from dictionary sources and scientific articles. The methods of processing phraseological material are component, synchronous-comparative, structural-semantic, structural-typological. The words denoting garments illustrate different phraseological and educational activity. Some vestigial lexemes of oriental origin are imprinted only in dialectal phraseological units. There is a euphemistic use of both names of clothing details and realities that are not related to vestimental vocabulary. The analysis revealed an interlanguage community of motivational ideas of a part of the structural and semantic models of vestimental phraseological units, as well as phrases known only in one of the countries of the Balkan Peninsula.

Authors: И.Н. Мартынова 
Published: October 2024

Настоящая статья посвящена рассмотрению лингвистических средств построения городского текста в романе Д. Дефо «Радости и горести знаменитой Молль Флендерс». Исследование особенностей подобного рода текста позволяет глубже интерпретировать литературные произведения, выявлять в них скрытые смыслы. Данный тип анализа также помогает установить связь между текстом романа или повести и культурой той эпохи, в которой создано произведение. Образ города активно изучается на примере произведений русской литературы. Также имеются описания городского текста в работах зарубежных, в частности, англоязычных авторов. Настоящая работа призвана расширить имеющиеся исследования. Для достижения этой цели изучен роман Д. Дефо «Радости и горести знаменитой Молль Флендерс» [12]. В статье применялись методы теоретического, когнитивного, стилистического, лингвистического и контекстуального анализа. Исследование показало, что образ города в романе Д. Дефо создается при помощи различных лингвистических средств, преобладающими среди которых выступают стилистические приемы. Атмосфера города, подробности ее жизни умело передаются при помощи структуры предложений и урбанонимов. Все это позволяет читателю почувствовать свое присутствие в городской среде Лондона XVIII столетия.
This article is devoted to the linguistic means of constructing the urban text in the novel “The Fortunes and Misfortunes of the Famous Moll Flanders” by D. Defoe. The study of urban text is given considerable attention in modern Russian linguistics. The study of the features of the urban text allows for a deeper interpretation of literary works and the identification of their hidden meanings. This type of analysis also helps to establish a connection between the text of a novel or story and the culture of the era in which the work was created. The image of the city is actively studied using the example of works of Russian literature. There are also descriptions of the urban text in the works of English-speaking authors. This work is intended to expand on these studies. To achieve this goal, the novel “The Fortunes and Misfortunes of the Famous Moll Flanders” by D. Defoe [12] was studied. In the course of the study, the methods of theoretical analysis, the method of cognitive analysis, stylistic, linguistic and contextual analysis were used. The study showed that the image of the city in the novel by D. Defoe is created using various linguistic means, the predominant ones being stylistic means. Also, the atmosphere of the city and the details of city life are skillfully conveyed using the structure of sentences and urbanonyms. All this allows the reader to feel his presence in the urban environment of London in the 18th century.
