High tibial osteotomies − is it still a reasonable option in treatment of osteoarthritis?
Authors: El-Sayed Amro S. 
Published: June 2024

Background
High tibial osteotomies (HTO) and unicompartmental knee arthroplasties are performed for the treatment of isolated unicompartmental osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee. Before the development of knee arthroplasties, HTO was the most common operative treatment option for knee OA.

Patients and methods
This work was a prospective study on 27 patients with medial compartmental OA who had been admitted to El-Menoufia University Hospital in the period from 2009 to 2013.

Results
The average age of the patients was 43 years. The average opening height of the osteotomy was 10.8 mm. There were no cases of secondary loss of correction. No patients needed to be treated by a secondary autograft because of delayed bone healing. One patient was reoperated a few days after the first intervention because of overcorrection.

Conclusion
Open-wedge HTO with the use of optimal surgical techniques (biplanar metaphyseal osteotomy) and the fixation with the internal plate fixator TomoFix has proved to be successful in treatment of unicompartmental gonarthrosis, even without bone grafts or bone substitute material. The complication rate is small, and full weight-bearing is achieved quickly with good medium-term results.
Surgical treatment of resistant chronic painful heel using endoscopic versus open approaches
Authors: Abouheif Mohamed , Motawea Bahaa 
Published: June 2024

Background
Plantar fasciitis has been reported to be the commonest cause of inferior heel pain. Most cases of plantar fasciitis respond to conservative nonsurgical measures. In 5–10% of the cases of plantar fasciitis resistant to conservative treatment, surgery may be required. Plantar fascia release performed by sectioning a part of the fascia via an open or endoscopic procedure has been the mainstay of treatment. This study was conducted to compare the outcome of open versus endoscopic plantar fascia release in cases of chronic resistant heel pain.

Patients and methods
A total of 50 patients with comparable demographics having chronic persistent heel pain that was diagnosed clinically to be due to plantar fasciitis were randomized to either open or endoscopic plantar fascia release. The patients were randomly divided in two groups; each consisted of 25 patients. The open procedures was done through a 3-cm medial incision, whereas the endoscopic procedure was done by the two-portal technique. The patients were assessed preoperatively and postoperatively using the modified American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society Ankle-Hindfoot Score. In addition, the patient’s overall satisfaction with the procedure, pain level, time taken to return to full activity, and the complication rate were determined.

Results
The postoperative score was significantly better in group I (the endoscopic group) than group II (the open surgery group). Regarding the pain, restoration of the function without imitation was significantly better in the endoscopic group.

Conclusion
Endoscopic plantar fasciotomy is a minimally invasive procedure that entails minimal soft tissue dissection, excellent visualization of the plantar fascia, precision in transecting only the medial one-third of the plantar fascia, and thus minimizing postoperative instability. It also results in minimal postoperative pain, with early return to full weight-bearing status and earlier return to normal activities of daily living.
Fiber functors and reconstruction of Hopf algebras
Authors: Lentner Simon , Mombelli Martín 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
The main objective of the present paper is to present a version of the Tannaka–Krein type reconstruction theorems: if

$F:{\mathcal B}\to {\mathcal C}$

is an exact faithful monoidal functor of tensor categories, one would like to realize

${\mathcal B}$

as category of representations of a braided Hopf algebra

$H(F)$

in

${\mathcal C}$

. We prove that this is the case iff

${\mathcal B}$

has the additional structure of a monoidal

${\mathcal C}$

-module category compatible with F, which equivalently means that F admits a monoidal section. For Hopf algebras, this reduces to a version of the Radford projection theorem. The Hopf algebra is constructed through the relative coend for module categories. We expect this basic result to have a wide range of applications, in particular in the absence of fiber functors, and we give some applications. One particular motivation was the logarithmic Kazhdan–Lusztig conjecture.
THE EVOLUTION OF NON-DRUG THERAPY FOR COGNITIVE IMPAIRMENT
Authors: Гринюк В.В. 
Published: June 2024

Болезнь Альцгеймера (БА) на настоящий момент является самой грозной пандемией человечества. По статистике, БА – это шестая причина смерти в США, а среди лиц старше 65 лет – пятая причина смерти. Несмотря на появление возможности ранней диагностики БА, успехи лекарственной терапии этого заболевания довольно скромные. Однако исследования по модификации образа жизни выглядят многообещающими. На фоне физических упражнений, когнитивного тренинга, медитации осознанности и соблюдения диеты у пациентов с умеренными когнитивными нарушениями не только улучшаются когнитивные функции, но и увеличивается объем определенных зон головного мозга. На данный момент выполнено несколько исследований эффективности полимодальной модификации образа жизни, показавших высокую эффективность.
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is currently the most dangerous pandemic of humanity. According to statistics, asthma is the sixth cause of death in the United States, and among people over 65 years of age it is the fifth cause of death. Despite the emergence of the possibility of early diagnosis of asthma, drug therapy for this disease has had rather modest success. However, research on lifestyle modification looks very promising. Exercise, cognitive training, mindfulness meditation, and diet not only improve cognitive function in patients with mild cognitive impairment, but also increase the volume of certain areas of the brain. To date, several studies have been carried out on the effectiveness of multimodal lifestyle modification, which have shown high effectiveness.

Early diagnosis of thrombotic readiness is of great practical importance for primary and secondary prevention. A special group of surgical patients consists of patients with burn injuries. These patients, with damage to the skin and underlying tissues, belong to the group of moderate and high risk of venous thromboembolic complications due to changes in the state of the hemostatic system, which can manifest themselves in the form of thrombotic or hemorrhagic complications. The article presents a comparative analysis of the efficacy, safety and cost of using various anticoagulants in burn patients.
Imagination Mittelalter
Authors: Cárdenas Livia 
Published: June 2024

Wunschzeit Mittelalter. Wie alte Kunst neu geordnet und eine Epoche erfunden wurde. »Das Mittelalter« diente seit seiner Erfindung in der Frühen Neuzeit für unterschiedliche Distinktions- und Identifikationswünsche. So wurde es um 1800 zur Projektionsfläche für neu entstehende, nationale und imperiale Politikinteressen. Diese Mittelalterbilder verleugneten ihren instrumentalen Charakter und wirken so, oft unerkannt, bis heute. Anhand der Aneignung mittelalterlich imaginierter Artefakte durch aristokratische und bürgerliche Sammler Ende des 18. und im Laufe des 19. Jahrhunderts sowie der gleichzeitigen spiegelbildlichen Abstoßung solcher Artefakte, geht die Autorin der Frage nach der Produktion von Mittelalterbildern nach. Es werden widersprüchliche Interessen am »Mittelalter« offen gelegt und die kulturellen Dispositionen von Mittelaltermoden aufgedeckt. Zur Sprache kommen ein spätabsolutistisches Mittelalter in Wörlitz, eine bürgerlich anachronistische Glasmalerei-Sammlung in Zürich, deren durch nun entstehende öffentliche Sammlungsinteressen bewegten Weg über Schlesien zurück in die Schweiz, die widersprüchliche Ungleichzeitigkeit preußisch-höfischer Privatsammlungen in Glienicke mit ihrem auratischen Ausweichen in byzantinisierende Herrschaftsmotive sowie die gleichzeitige europäische Zerstreuung des Basler Münsterschatzes in neuen, rivalisierenden ständischen und nationalen Kontexten.

Calcium Carbide and Wood Ash as Environmentally Friendly Soil Stabilizers for Enhanced Subgrade Performance
Authors: Saleh Samaila , Surajo Idris , Surajo Muhammad , Idris Abubakar Tsagem , Umar Abdullahi 
Published: June 2024

This study looks at the potential of waste calcium carbide (WCC) and wood ash (WA) as soil stabilizers to improve the engineering characteristics of subgrade soil. The investigation begins by characterizing the properties of the untreated soil, indicating a liquid limit of 24.6%, linear shrinkage of 7.6%, and a non-plastic nature due to the lack of a plastic limit. In addition, the soil composition comprises a mere 2% of small particles measuring less than 63 μm, while a substantial 74% of the particles fall within the range of 63 μm to 2 mm. The particle density of untreated soil is found to be 2.86, beyond the typical soil limitations. Subsequently, an investigation was conducted to examine the impact of WCC and WA on Atterberg limits, compaction characteristics, and California bearing ratio (CBR) values. The findings indicate that the incorporation of WCC and WA leads to a reduction in the liquid limit by a maximum of 18.70% and linear shrinkage by a maximum of 55.26%. Compaction properties show an increase in optimal water content and a minor decrease in maximum dry density. Importantly, CBR values significantly improved, with the soil treated with 6% WCC and WA demonstrating a CBR value of 26.9%, exceeding the subgrade acceptability requirement in road construction. This study highlights the potential of WCC and WA as cost-effective and sustainable soil stabilizers, particularly in areas where traditional stabilizing materials are limited. More research into optimization and long-term performance can help to realize the full potential of this novel method for soil stabilization.

Automatic Enemy Identification—Are We There Yet?
Authors: Meng Huijuan , Li Jinshu 
Published: June 2024

Enemy items refer to any two items that should not appear on the same test form. Accurately identifying enemy pairs is critical for ensuring the quality and fairness of exams, but it can also be challenging and time-consuming given the large number of possible item pairs in the exam item bank. Various enemy identification approaches have been explored to automate or semi-automate this task. In this process, the critical component is the encoding technique. The better the encoding technique captures the meaning of the sentences, the more accurate the similarity index and enemy classification results will be. This study focuses on evaluating the performance of a transformer-based model against the results from a string-based vector-space model (VSM) encoding technique under different research conditions for multiple-choice and multiple-response items used in a foundational information technology (IT) certification exam. The results suggest that when using sufficient representative training data and conducting fine-tuning, the transformer-based model significantly outperforms the VSM for enemy identification.

Published: June 2024

This study aims to explore how the capital structure affects the financial performance of healthcare companies listed on the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE) from 2012 to 2021. Capital structure which considers how a company combines its mix of equity and debt in financing its business is important to its overall operations and growth. To conduct this research, eight healthcare firms listed on the NSE were deliberately chosen. The study examined the financial data of various firms, through their annual reports. The data included short-term and long-term debts, equity (the value of a company’s shares), return on equity, and size. The study used correlation and regression for its analysis. The results showed that short-term debt, long-term debt, and equity had a negative but significant relationship with return on equity. However, the size of the company had a positive and significant relationship with return on equity. Based on the findings, the study recommends that healthcare firms should consider using long-term debts to increase the time to repay the borrowed capital and generate more profit.

A Dimensão Afetiva na Educação Monástica: A Influência de Aelredo de Rievaulx no Contexto Cisterciense do Século XII
Authors: Moura Filho Raimundo Carvalho , Letras Gilvan da Silva Alves 
Published: June 2024

Os cistercienses, uma ordem beneditina reformada do século XII, valorizaram a dimensão afetiva nas relações sociais e espirituais. O termo affectus representava um movimento espontâneo em direção ao outro, refletindo a conexão com o mundo social e transcendente. A linguagem emocional e os conceitos afetivos, como pathos e passio, eram centrais na antropologia religiosa da época. A pesquisa destaca a ligação entre afetividade e educação monástica, principalmente nos escritos de Aelredo de Rievaulx, que integrava esses elementos na formação espiritual e interpessoal dos monges, influenciando a pedagogia cisterciense. Como os cistercienses moldaram a educação monástica por meio da afetividade e espiritualidade?
A 32-vertex generalization of the logical square: "Logical Lantern" for propositions in V.I. Markin's Universal language for traditional positive syllogistic theories
Authors: Cherkashina Oksana 
Published: June 2024

In this work is constructed a visual representation for logical relations (contradiction, subalternation, contrariety, subcontrariety) among propositions about each of the possible relations between two non-empty sets. Those relations between sets are equity, strict inclusion, reversed strict inclusion, intersection, exclusion and their combinations (disjunctions); also is used the constant of falsity "none".This representation follows the results by V.I. Markin, who created a universal language for traditional positive syllogistic theories. This language includes syllogistic constants for propositions about each of the 32 possible relations between two non-empty sets (5 basic constants; complex constants, constructed from basic ones; constants for truth and falsity).
Among these 32 constants are the traditional vertices of the square of opposition: A ("All S are P"), E ("No S are P"), I ("Some S are P"), O ("Some S are not P").The proposed scheme shows contradiction and subalternation and allows to deduce contrariety and subcontrariety relations among the propositions in question. It allows to easily find all the propositions that are in a given relation with some (arbitrary) chosen proposition. It also allows to find the relation between two chosen propositions. The scheme also helps to think about the square of opposition and similar diagrams on a meta level.
Among the things it helps to think about are relations that are similar to those in the square of opposition, although not themselves present in the square. They are what we called "exhaustive n-place contrariety" and "exhaustive n-place subcontrariety" (n is a natural number, n is greater than 2) – logical relations that are similar to usual contrariety (subcontrariety), but hold among more than two propositions and have an additional property: all the n propositions in this relation taken together are both truth-incompatible and falsity-incompatible.The proposed scheme can be used as a whole, or in parts (in a reduced way) - as diagrams that would show the logical relations among some but not all the possible propositions about relations of two non-empty sets.Such diagrams can be seen as variations of the Lantern, and the Lantern – as their generalization. One of the variations is the square of opposition, one more – Blanché hexagon. Other possible variations are more or less similar to the ones just mentioned and can have the same or different properties, making the Lantern – together with V.I. Markin's Universal language for traditional positive syllogistic theories, on which the Lantern is based, – a "common denominator", an instrument to compare and study the properties of different diagrams.
