Immanuel Kant und Andrea Bina: Ein Autor, missverstanden und übersehen
Authors: Grillenzoni Paolo 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
In his third essay on earthquakes, Kant refers to “Pater Bina’s” electric interpretation of seismic phenomena. Although not a distinguished scholar, and maybe for that reason frequently confused with a certain “Father Isidore Binet”, Bina was nevertheless a noteworthy author. A Cassinese benedictine, Andrea Bina was a philosopher interested in sciences just like Kant; he studied Newton, translated Wolff, invented a seismoscope and was appreciated by his contemporaries at home and beyond the Alps. Kant’s laconic quotation, followed by a value judgement regarding only Bina’s “audacity”, raises some questions, including, in primis those about the meaning of his hasty judgment. A plausible well-grounded answer should be looked for in the bio-bibliographical outline of the neglected author and in the perusal of his writings.
The analysis of Bina’s Ragionamento sopra le cagioni de’ terremoti (1751) contributes to our knowledge of the eighteenth-century cultural background and helps us understand the degree of knowledge of the seismic phenomena acquired by men who – amidst many difficulties and hindered by the limits of their science – could only rely on secondhand data often imbued with misconceptions. Comparing Bina’s work – although indirectly – with Kant’s Fortgesetzte Betrachtung der seit einiger Zeit wahrgenommenen Erderschütterungen (1756) may help bring to light some convergences, as well as differences, which might be of use in clarifying some peculiarities of the Prussian Naturforscher.

Current advances in QuEChERS extraction of mycotoxins in various food and feed matrices
Authors: Mbisana Mesha , Mogopodi Dikabo , Chibua Inonge 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
Mycotoxins are common contaminants in food and feed in Africa, and their occurrence presents negative health and economic impacts. One step towards control is the adoption of highly efficient extraction methods for effective monitoring. QuEChERS (Quick, Easy, Cheap, Effective, Rugged, and Safe) has gained popularity among researchers for multiple mycotoxin analyses. Various modifications of the original QuEChERS method have emerged as means to achieve maximum mycotoxin recoveries from different matrices, such as cereals, animal feed, nuts, edible oils, and spices. This review provides a summary of the occurrence of multiple mycotoxins in Africa as well as a summary of the QuEChERS modifications done to increase the extraction of mycotoxins from food and feed samples.
The performance of iron-silicate-based biochar as a sorbent material towards 133Ba retention from radioactive liquid waste
Authors: Mahrous Sara S. , Mansy Muhammad S. , Youssef Maha A. 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
The application of Phalaris seed peel (PSP) for the production of biochar involves the pyrolysis process in an N2 environment, resulting in the creation of a cost-effective sorbent. Two distinct modifications were conducted on the existing biochar (BC), employing just silicate (BC/SiO2) and in combination with iron-silicate (BC/SiO2/Fe). Several analytical methods were used to look at the modified biochar’s physical and chemical properties. These included scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), thermogravimetric analysis-differential thermal analysis (TGA-DTA), and surface area analysis. Based on the initial investigations, it has been revealed that the use of silica and iron as the second modification is a more suitable approach for effectively retaining 133Ba from liquid radioactive waste streams. The investigation of sorption kinetics and isotherms was conducted to enhance our understanding of the process. The Langmuir isotherm model demonstrates the most optimal correlation for sorption, yielding a maximum sorption capacity (Q
max) of 31 mg/g. Furthermore, an evaluation was performed on the BC/SiO2/Fe sorbent material by subjecting it to a mixture of simulated radioactive liquid waste, which included 133Ba, 60Co, and 137Cs.The experimental results indicate that BC/SiO2/Fe exhibits a comparatively higher sorption capacity for 133Ba when compared to 60Co and 137Cs as competing ions.
The loss of synthetic past tense forms in Slovene in the context of the hypothesised Central European convergence area
Authors: Šekli Matej 
Published: May 2024

Summary
One of the salient morphosyntactic features of the hypothesised Central European convergence area is allegedly a simple three-tense verb system (i. e. past, present, and future) without any formal and semantic distinction between the different past tense forms. The simplification of the originally more complex past tense system has been claimed to be contact-induced, which is mirrored in the loss of synthetic past tense forms in the linguistic history of German and Slavic. The article verifies the hypothesis according to which the loss of the preterit (i. e. a synthetic past tense form) in Upper German caused the disappearance of synthetic past tense forms, i. e. the aorist and the imperfect, in Slavic, more specifically Slovene. First, the process of the loss of the aorist and the imperfect in three medieval Slovene texts is presented, viz. the Freising Fragments (c. 972–1039), the Klagenfurt/Celovec or Rateče Manuscript (2nd half of the 14th century), and the Castelmonte/Stara Gora Manuscript (end of the 15th century). Second, the use of the preterit and the perfect in the Early New High German text Ain newes lied von den kraynneriſchen bauren (c. 1515) from the South Bavarian-Austrian speech territory, more precisely Lower Styria, is analysed. The historical linguistic analysis of the cited Slovene and German linguistic material (the latter originating from the Slovene linguistic area as well) shows that in medieval Slovene the aorist (and most probably the imperfect, too) was lost no later than by the end of the 15th century, while the formal and semantic distinction between the preterit on one hand and the perfect on the other is still preserved in Early New High German documented in the “Slovene-speaking lands” in the second decade of the 16th century. From these facts one cannot but conclude that the loss of synthetic past tense forms in Slovene could not have been influenced by (the demonstrably later) loss of the preterit in South Bavarian-Austrian German dialects, which were historically (and in some regions still are) in geographical and, consequently, sociolinguistic contact with Slovene.
Variants and forms of physical lazzi in Dubrovnik’s smješnice of the 17th-century
Authors: Županović Ana Gospić 
Published: May 2024

Summary
This article examines a corpus of ten preserved Dubrovnik comedies from the 17th century, the so-called smješnice. The study of these smješnice draws on interpretation and classification of the comedy routine of the lazzi. The authors of these comedies adopted and adapted them under the direct or indirect influence of performance and the written traces of the commedia dell’arte performances. The physical features of the lazzi, especially the acrobatic, mime and mimetic elements, necessitate a thorough investigation of the performance features of these comedies.
Interactions between diester amide Gemini surfactants and polymers, and their application in hair dyes
Authors: Li Yuheng , Lei Yue , Gao Haiyan , Lin Liangliang , Xu Hujun 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
In this study, the interaction between a diester amide Gemini surfactant (C12–E2Ph–C12) and the non-ionic polymer polyethylene glycol (PEG) with average molecular weights of 6000 g mol−1 and 10,000 g mol−1 was investigated using the surface tension method. The study showed no discernible interaction between them. Further examinations, using surface tension, micropolarity and turbidity methods were conducted to investigate the interaction between C12–E2Ph–C12 and the anionic polymer sodium alginate (NaAlg). C12–E2Ph–C12 and NaAlg molecules bind together to form aggregates with a pearl necklace-like structure, driven by electrostatic attraction. This interaction is evident in both the surface tension and micropolarity curves, where double plateaus appear. The inorganic salt NaCl exhibited a dual influence on the interaction between C12–E2Ph–C12 and NaAlg, manifesting as either salt enhancement or reduction, depending on their competitive effects. Additionally, the dyeing performance of the different surfactants on two types of dyes was investigated using a colorimeter. C12–E2Ph–C12 showed favorable effects on dyeing uniformity, color fastness, and improvement of hair tensile strength. Hair dyeing results were satisfactory when C12–E2Ph–C12 was included as a uniform coloring agent and NaAlg was used as a thickening agent in the hair dye formulation.
New transition curves maintaining constant normal accelerations for vehicles
Authors: Pakdemirli Mehmet 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
New transition curves from straight paths to circular paths are proposed for the first time in this study. The paths enable the vehicles to maintain constant normal acceleration components when the vehicle has a given tangential deceleration component. The differential equation describing the path for an arbitrary tangential deceleration component is given first. Several special cases corresponding to different deceleration functions in terms of velocity and position are derived. The path equations are third order ordinary differential equations with high nonlinearities. The equations are cast into a non-dimensional form which enables to define the dimensionless parameters affecting the curves. Two of the special cases are numerically treated: (1) Deceleration proportional to the velocity, (2) Deceleration exponentially decaying with path length. The effects of dimensionless parameters on the solutions are exploited in the figures. The transition curves may be employed in determining the paths of land, aerial and marine vehicles.

Aim. To study the relationship of integral metabolic indices with the Cardio-Ankle Vascular Index (CAVI) and assess their predictive value for identifying increased levels of arterial stiffness in young and middle-aged people with hypertension and other cardiovascular risk factors.Material and methods. The study included 160 patients (56 men and 104 women) with the median age of 39 [22,0;57,0] years. All patients underwent an anthropometric measurement and a study of lipid profile (total cholesterol (TC), low- and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and triglycerides) using the CardioChek PA analyzer (USA, 2020) with subsequent calculation of lipid accumulation product (LAP), visceral adiposity index (VAI), body fat percentage (BFP), body adiposity index (BAI). Increased arterial stiffness was assessed by the CAVI level by the sphygmomanometry using the VaSera-1000 FUCUDA DENSHI system (Japan, 2010). Statistical analysis was carried out using the Jamovi program.Results. The incidence of abdominal obesity, hypertension, dyslipidemia and smoking was consistent with the general population. There were no significant relationships between CAVI and anthropometric metabolic markers (weight, body mass index, waist circumference, hip circumference, neck circumference) (p>0,05). Significant direct correlations between CAVI and the levels of TC, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and integral metabolic indices (LAP, VAI and BFP) were revealed. The strongest correlation was obtained between CAVI and LAP, BFP. According to multivariate analysis, an independent relationship with CAVI was detected only in LAP and VAI, for which ROC analysis was performed. With LAP >39, increased arterial stiffness can be detected with a sensitivity of 75,24% and specificity of 77,68% (Area Under the Curve (AUC) 0,859, threshold =39). For VAI, a model with a high specificity of 100% but a low sensitivity of 18,2% (AUC 0,617) was obtained.Conclusion. To identify early vascular aging in young and middle­aged people, in addition to traditional metabolic markers, the LAP can be used, which, with a value of >39, allows one to predict high arterial stiffness with a sensitivity of 75,24% and a specificity of 77,68%.
Vasospastic angina followed by acute coronary syndrome and myocardial infarction: a case report
Authors: Chepurnenko S. A. , Shavkuta G. V. , Chepurnenko M. S. 
Published: May 2024

Introduction. One of the angina causes in intact coronary arteries may be vasospasm. Despite the stenosis absence, vasospastic angina is characterized by a recurrent course, can progress to myocardial infarction (MI) and cause life-threatening arrhythmias.Short description. A case of vasospastic angina in a 69-year-old man, confirmed by 24-hour electrocardiographic monitoring, is presented. Long-term vasospasm first led to acute coronary syndrome on November 11, 2022 without myocardial damage. Standard therapy is recommended. Calcium antagonists were not included in the prescriptions. Then, on December 23, 2022, frequent and longer-lasting attacks of angina with extensive irradiation and shortness of breath appeared. On December 29, 2022, acute MI developed. Both cardiovascular events were caused by vasospasm in the right coronary artery.Discussion. Currently, there is no exact data the frequency of vasospastic angina in Russia. There are no definitive guidelines regarding the rationale of endovascular intervention. High doses of calcium channel blockers are usually suggested. In case of insufficient effect of monotherapy, dihydropyridine and non-dihydropyridine calcium antagonists simultaneously or add long-acting nitrates should be used. Nicorandil is used as second-line drugs. The positive effect of statins has been proven. However, complete solution of the problem of recurrent MI against the background of vasospasm was not possible. The presented case highlights the recurrent nature of the disease and the importance of selecting optimal therapy aimed at preventing vasospasm in order to reduce the risk of myocardial damage in this category of patients.

Serous tumors are rare in the group of non-germ cell testicular tumors, ad are morphologically similar to serous ovarian tumors. Preoperative diagnosis of this tumor is difficult due to the lack of specific signs according to clinical and instrumental research methods. In turn, histological verification of a serous borderline tumor is also a difficult task and requires differential diagnosis, primarily with serous cystadenocarcinoma, which, unlike a serous borderline tumor, can metastasize and is generally characterized by worse prognosis. Immunohistochemical examination allows to exclude other tumors with a similar morphological structure, including mesothelial tumors. Due to the rare occurrence of testicular serous tumors, there is minimal clinical experience in the treatment of these tumors worldwide, and there is still no consensus on guidelines for their treatment. Radical orchiectomy is recommended for patients with border-line serous tumors.This article presents a clinical case of a testicular serous borderline papillary tumor with a discussion of the literature data on the instrumental, morphological, and immunohistochemical characteristics of this rare tumor in men.

Undifferentiated pleomorphic prostate sarcoma is an extremely rare neoplasm. In the available literature, less than 50 clinical cases were described. Usually, the clinical manifestation of the disease is nonspecific and is primarily associated with bladder outlet obstruction. Additionally, most patients have normal levels of prostate-specific antigen, while ultrasound and MRI can visualize irregularly shaped lesions, often extending beyond the prostate gland. Diagnosis requires exclusion of other signs of specific differentiation, apart from fibroblastic and myofibroblastic. There is no established treatment plan for patients with pleomorphic prostate sarcoma due to extreme rarity of the disease. For localized forms of the disease, radical laparoscopic prostatectomy is often used, but more aggressive treatment options are also being considered, including total pelvic exenteration, chemotherapy and radiation therapy. However, in most cases metastasis is revealed after primary treatment. Regional metastases are often localized in the rectum, bladder, in the area of previous surgery, and regional lymph nodes, while distant metastases are found in the lungs, liver, bones and distant lymph nodes, thereby indicating aggressive progression and poor prognosis of the disease.In this article, we present our own clinical observation of a patient with confirmed undifferentiated pleomorphic prostate sarcoma.
Phase 3 CLEAR study in patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma: outcomes in subgroups for the lenvatinib-plus-pembrolizumab and sunitinib arms

Introduction. The phase 3 CLEAR study demonstrated that lenvatinib plus pembrolizumab significantly improved efficacy versus sunitinib as first-line treatment for patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Prognostic features including presence and/or site of baseline metastases, prior nephrectomy, and sarcomatoid features have been associated with disease and treatment success. This subsequent analysis explores outcomes in patients with or without specific prognostic features.Methods. In CLEAR, patients with clear cell RCC were randomly assigned (1:1:1) to receive either lenvatinib (20 mg/day) plus pembrolizumab (200 mg every 3 weeks), lenvatinib (18 mg/day) plus everolimus (5 mg/day), or sunitinib alone (50 mg/day, 4 weeks on, 2 weeks off). In this report, progression-free survival, overall survival, and objective response rate were all assessed in the lenvatinib-plus-pembrolizumab and the sunitinib arms, based on baseline features: lung metastases, bone metastases, liver metastases, prior nephrectomy, and sarcomatoid histology.Results. In all the assessed subgroups, median progression-free survival was longer with lenvatinib plus-pembrolizumab than with sunitinib treatment, notably among patients with baseline bone metastases (hazard ratio (HR) 0.33; 95 % confidence interval (CI) 0.21–0.52) and patients with sarcomatoid features (HR 0.39; 95 % CI 0.18–0.84). Median overall survival favored lenvatinib plus pembrolizumab over sunitinib irrespective of metastatic lesions at baseline, prior nephrectomy, and sarcomatoid features. Of interest, among patients with baseline bone metastases the HR for survival was 0.50 (95 % CI 0.30–0.83) and among patients with sarcomatoid features the HR for survival was 0.91 (95 % CI 0.32–2.58); though for many groups, median overall survival was not reached. Objective response rate also favored lenvatinib plus pembrolizumab over sunitinib across all subgroups; similarly, complete responses also followed this pattern.Conclusion. Efficacy outcomes improved following treatment with lenvatinib-plus-pembrolizumab versus sunitinib in patients with RCC – irrespective of the presence or absence of baseline lung metastases, baseline bone metastases, baseline liver metastases, prior nephrectomy, or sarcomatoid features. These findings corroborate those of the primary CLEAR study analysis in the overall population and support lenvatinib plus pembrolizumab as a standard of care in 1L treatment for patients with advanced RCC.
