Vox Humana of War: Ukrainian Art Music as a Mode of Resistance (2022–24)
Authors: Tukova Iryna 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
Since 2014, when the Russian war against Ukraine began, and especially after the full-scale invasion started, numerous cultural actions have emerged as acts of Ukrainian cultural resistance. Resistance studies are characterized by their interdisciplinarity, enabling the application of their methodologies across various fields. At the heart of resistance is a refusal to accept oppression. It has been observed that, during the war in Ukraine, composers and their creative works have been resisting both the wartime circumstances and the political narratives propagated by Russia. Generally, artistic creativity stands against the violence and death inherent in war, generating new meanings that reflect and capture the emotions, desires, and hopes of Ukrainians. This article examines theories of resistance to provide a framework for analyzing compositions dedicated to the theme of war, and explores the mode of resistance in Ukrainian art music. Specifically, I focus on the composition Vox Humana (2023) by Roman Grygoriv, written for an MRLS BM-27 Uragan missile and chamber orchestra. Uniquely, this work uses a missile fragment as a musical instrument, illustrating a meaning-making process within the resistance narrative that remains deeply relevant to Ukrainians today.
Music in the Year of Truth: A View on the Contribution of Selected Songs to National Unity during the Velvet Revolution in Slovakia
Authors: Ščepán Michal 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
The term Velvet Revolution denotes the events that took place between 16 November and 29 December 1989 and resulted in overthrowing the long-standing communist regime in Czechoslovakia. This historical milestone is often connected with specific symbols, such as the V sign and the jingling of keys, a gesture signifying that the country unlocked its door to the Western world. Music also played an important role during demonstrations in the squares. Alongside political activists and dissidents, several artists representing various genres of pop, folk, and classical music performed there to support the crowds. Some of the songs sung during those revolutionary days were written in the heat of the moment or shortly before. Others were evergreens without political overtones. As a form of protest or an expression of hope for a better future, they all perfectly captured the atmosphere of this final reckoning with totalitarianism. The artistic activities of some of the participating singers had been restricted under communism and their performances had an even greater effect for that reason. At the same time, the involvement of popular artists was risky for them personally because, if the change of regime had failed, it would probably have meant the end of their careers. Regardless of their previous status, the musical pieces they performed became an essential part of the demonstrations.
This article reflects on the significance of music during the Velvet Revolution as an important persuasive element. Along with a survey of the characteristics of song authors and performers, selected songs will be categorised according to the specific features through which they contributed to national unity in those decisive moments.
The Interdependence of Socio-economic Factors and Media Literacy: Focus on Critical Media Content Analysis and Evaluation
Authors: Rek Mateja , Murko Eva 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
Media literacy is of fundamental importance for democracy, as it enables individuals to better navigate the complexity of digital media, critically evaluate media content and assess the trustworthiness of media representations. By promoting media literacy, societies can counter disinformation, misinformation, oversimplifications and manipulative practices in public discourse, thereby safeguarding principles of informed citizens’ engagement. Structural position of the individual in the socio-economic environment affects their media literacy. As individuals navigate their behaviour, they often draw upon social norms, roles and expectations as reference points for what is considered appropriate conduct. Thus, while individuals exercise agency in their behaviour, their choices contribute to the maintenance and reinforcement of the social structure. In this article, we examine the relationship between socio-economic factors and media literacy, with a particular focus on how an individual’s socio -economic standing influences their ability to critically analyse and evaluate media content. We emphasise that the socio-economic context not only impacts media literacy but also shapes social behaviour in ways that reinforces existing socio -economic boundaries.

Published: February 2025

Background: Free radicals produced by hydrogen peroxide after teeth bleaching which diffuse through the enamel and dentinal tubules can trigger inflammation of the pulp. To overcome this negative side effect, exogenous antioxidants have been proposed. This research was conducted to determine the effect of natural antioxidants, namely 5% and 10% green tea, which was applied on rat molars teeth that were bleached using 40% hydrogen peroxide. Methods: Fifteen molar teeth of male Wistar rats were bleached using 40% hydrogen peroxide on their occlusal surface. Furthermore, the control group (Group I) rinsed using warm distilled water, while in Group II and Group III, the teeth were rinsed using 5% and 10% green tea extract gel. Wistar rats were sacrificed on the fifth day after treatment, followed by hematoxylin-eosin staining. Histological examinations were observed under a light microscope using 400x magnification and the number of the neutrophil were counted. Result: One-way ANOVA test showed that there was a significant effect of green tea extract gel concentration on the number of neutrophils (p 0.05). Post hoc test results showed that there were significant differences in all pairs of groups compared (p 0.05). Conclusion: Group III which was treated using10% green tea extract gel has the lowest number of neutrophil compared to Group II which was treated using 5% green tea extract hel and the control group.

Published: February 2025

Background: The magnetic dental attachment is an integral component of the overdenture. Dental magnetic attachment will be in the oral cavity and is influenced by the oral environment. Previous study has shown that acid solutions contained in commonly consumed foods or drinks can corrode magnets and reduce magnetic attraction. Consuming mineral water in daily life is a common thing done by Indonesians. The objective of this research is to investigate the impact of mineral water on both the magnetic attraction and the occurrence of corrosion.Method: Mineral water which are sold commercially with different pH of 6.8 and 7.5, were used. Magnetic dental attachments were immersed in both types of mineral water for 7 and 14 days. The magnetic attraction was quantified by employing a materials testing machine and corrosion on the magnetic surface was seen using SEM. Result: After the immersion of magnetic dental attachments in mineral water with a pH level of 6.8 for 7 days and 14 days, magnetic attraction decreased by 5.36% and 21.77%, respectively. While after immersion at a pH level of 7.5 for 7 days and 14 days, magnetic attraction decreased by 9.39% and 22.89%, respectively. SEM examination showed that the surface of the magnetic dental attachment was corroded after being immersed in both types of mineral water and in both groups of immersion times.Conclusion: Immersing the magnetic dental attachment in the mineral water with different pH level decreased the magnetic attraction force as well as corroded the surface of magnetic dental attachment.
Nietzsche’s Influence on Character Design in Women in Love: A Philosophical Exploration
Authors: Rajendra Prasad Chapagaee  
Published: February 2025

This paper attempts to examine philosophical infusion in D. H. Lawrence’s novel Women in Love. It examines how Lawrence has been influenced by Neitzsche's philosophy in his character portrayal in his novel. It also looks at how Lawrence shapes his characters in his novel borrowing the ideas from Nietzsche. Nietzsche's key philosophical ideas are used to the creation of characters in Women in Love. This study presents a fresh analysis of the text and opens the door for further research by analyzing the novel through the spectacles of Nietzsche's philosophy. It fosters a greater knowledge of both the literary works and Nietzsche's philosophical ideas by encouraging researchers to go deeper into classic literature and study English novels from a Nietzschean perspective. It promotes a deeper understanding of both the literary works and Nietzsche's philosophical concepts. This paper explores how Lawrence skillfully incorporates Nietzsche's philosophy into his character portrayal by opening up new avenues for philosophically informed literary analysis of classic literature. It also contributes to the understanding of classic literature and the application of philosophical concepts to literary works. Readers might understand the themes and characters of Lawrence's novels in a new way by applying Nietzschean concepts to the book. This paper sheds light on the intellectual framework of the story and divulges further levels of meaning. It expands the field of literary studies by making it easier to conduct comparative studies between different authors and philosophies. This approach promotes interdisciplinary study and more cohesive academic discourse by bridging the gaps between literature and philosophy. Furthermore, it encourages interdisciplinary research, bridging the gap between literature and philosophy, and fostering a more comprehensive academic discourse. Overall, it aims to foster a better, more comprehensive understanding of the interplay between literature and philosophy.

Published: February 2025

PurposeThe study aimed to assess various characteristics of coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) in patients presenting with suspected coronary artery disease (CAD). Additionally, the research sought to investigate the predictive value of the coronary artery volume to myocardial mass (V/M) derived from CCTA in risk stratification for patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and to determine the relationship between the V/M ratio and the Global Registry of Acute Coronary Events (GRACE) risk score in ACS.MethodsThis was a single-center, retrospective study. The magnitude of V/M was investigated in patients with ACS (n = 168), stable angina pectoris (SAP) (n = 160), and healthy controls (n = 122) among 450 patients with suspected CAD who did not require urgent angiography. Patients underwent CCTA for 0.5–6 months (median 3.3 months) before the SAP and ACS event. All patients underwent invasive coronary angiography (ICA) at the time of the SAP and ACS event. The Mantel test was used to assess the factors influencing risk stratification in CAD. Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was used to assess the accuracy of the V/M ratio in predicting ACS. Pearson correlation analysis was utilized to analyze the correlation between V/M and GRACE risk score, and independent predictors of high GRACE risk score were screened using univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis.ResultsThe Mantel test analysis shows that the key factors of ACS were left ventricle myocardial mass (M), V/M, and coronary CT angiography-derived fractional flow reserve (FFRCT) (p &lt; 0.01). The V/M ratio in ACS and SAP was significantly lower than in controls (21.7 ± 6.96, 31.0 ± 9.90, vs. 43.3 ± 11.50 mm3/g; p &lt; 0.001). Lower V/M ratios were found with the progression of CAD from SAP to unstable angina pectoris (UAP) to acute myocardial infarction (AMI) (17.8 ± 5.30, 24.3 ± 6.70, vs. 31.0 ± 9.90 mm3/g; p &lt; 0.001). ROC analysis shows that V/M outperformed FFRCT, % DS in predicting ACS [AUC: 0.78 [95% CI: 0.74–0.83] vs. 0.74 [95% CI: 0.69–0.79], 0.60 [95% CI: 0.53–0.64]], and the combined AUC of the three increased significantly, reaching 0.80 [95%(CI): 0.76–0.85]. Furthermore, in the subgroup of ACS patients, the results of Pearson correlation analysis shows that the GRACE risk score of ACS patients was significantly negatively correlated with the V/M ratio and V/M was found to be an independent predictor of GRACE risk score &gt;140 (p &lt; 0.001).ConclusionsThe V/M ratio is valuable for stratified risk prediction of ACS and is independently associated with the GRACE risk score.

BackgroundCardiogenic shock (CS) is a severe complication of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) with high mortality. Few studies have examined the selection and subsequent choice of vasoactive agents in CS. This study investigates the impact of vasoactive drug use and in-hospital outcomes among AMI-CS.Materials and methodsA total of 309 patients who underwent pulmonary artery catheterization between 2006 and 2021 were categorized by the number of vasoactive drugs used (0–1, 2, or &gt;2). Clinical and 24 h hemodynamic data were analyzed. Primary outcomes explored the correlation between vasoactive use and in-hospital mortality. Secondary analyses assessed hemodynamic changes and estimated mortality probabilities at different intervals using logistic regression.ResultsIn total, 57 patients received 0–1, 76 received 2, and 176 received &gt;2 vasoactive drugs. The median age was 61 years; most were men (82%), and 82.8% had ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction. End-organ function showed progressive deterioration with escalating vasoactive use. Survival analysis revealed an increased mortality in the &gt;2 vasoactive group [HRadj = 4.62 (2.07–10.32)], achieving ≥5/6 hemodynamic goals that did not mitigate mortality [HRadj = 7.18 (1.59–32.39)]. Subgroup analyses within patients who reached different hemodynamic goals reiterated adverse outcomes associated with &gt;2 vasoactives (P &lt; 0.05). Further analysis showed that vasopressin was associated with the highest mortality in a time-dependent fashion [HRDay1, 8.77 (6.04–12.75) → HRDay30, 1.23 (0.8–1.87)], and levosimendan had similar behavior [HRDay1, 2.67 (1.82–3.91) → HRDay30, 0.66 (0.42–1.03)].ConclusionsA significant association between the number of vasoactives and in-hospital mortality was found in AMI-CS, which requires future long-term studies to explore the role of vasoactive drug therapies and early temporary mechanical circulatory support.

Published: February 2025

BackgroundVideo-based education offers opportunities to enhance patients' medical literacy and to reduce anxiety and hesitation for patients undergoing diagnostic procedures such as lumbar puncture (LP). Multiple studies centered on LP education have demonstrated that video-based education can reduce anxiety regarding possible adverse events, while increasing literacy regarding the procedure itself for clinical purposes. Our study sought to assess the impact of video-based education on knowledge of and willingness to undergo an LP among older people with HIV (PWH).MethodsWe enrolled PWH age ≥ 50 years who regularly attend our Infectious Diseases clinic between March 3 and November 16, 2023. Participants watched a patient-centered educational video explaining the LP procedure and completed a questionnaire both pre- and post-video assessing demographics, general awareness and prior experience with an LP, specific knowledge, attitudes and perceptions toward an LP and willingness to undergo an LP.ResultsOur study included 99 PWH with mean (standard deviation, SD) age of 58.8 (5.7) years, one-third females and 60% African American/Black race. After watching the video, participants were significantly more likely to correctly identify technical details of the procedure (excluding those who had previously had an LP, 83.7% pre-video vs. 95.9% post-video) and common complications of an LP; agree that LPs can result in back pain (p &lt; 0.001) and headaches (p &lt; 0.001). There was no significant difference in participants' willingness to undergo an LP for diagnostic or research purposes. Only 5% said that they would never have an LP under any circumstance after watching the video.ConclusionsOther educational interventions, such as in-person demonstrations or models, may help mitigate fears of LP. Our study provides important insight into the knowledge and perceptions of PWH when asked to undergo an LP and demonstrates that video-based education may not be sufficient to mitigate fears surrounding LP procedures, or a lack of interest or time for participating in an LP.

Published: February 2025

ObjectiveIn this study, we aimed to explore the relationship between postprandial triglyceride (TG) and postprandial thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) levels and compare the postprandial TSH levels in participants with normal lipid tolerance and reduced lipid tolerance.MethodsA total of 81 eligible participants were enrolled and given a high-fat meal of 1500 kcal, and blood samples were collected at 2, 4, 6, and 8 hours. Fasting blood glucose, total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and fasting and postprandial TG, triiodothyronine (T3), tetraiodothyronine (T4), and TSH levels were tested. Based on the postprandial serum TG level, participants were divided into the normal lipid tolerance group (NFT) and the decreased lipid tolerance group (IFT).ResultsPostprandial TG levels increased in both the NFT and IFT groups and then decreased over time. A higher and delayed peak of postprandial TG was observed in the IFT group, and there were statistically significant differences in TG levels at each time point in both groups. The area under the curve (TGAUC) was an independent influencing factor for the area under the curve (TSHAUC) of TSH. Postprandial TSH levels in both groups reached a trough at 2 h and peaked at 6 h, with a higher peak in the IFT group. Except for 2 h, TSH levels were significantly different at all other time points. There was no statistically significant difference in T3 or T4 levels between the two groups, with opposite trends for TSH.ConclusionAfter a high-fat meal is consumed, the postprandial TSH level is influenced by the postprandial TG level, which may be the reason for the decreased thyroid function in the population with reduced lipid tolerance.Clinical Trial Registrationhttp://www.chictr.org.cn/index.aspx, identifier ChiCTR1800019514.
