BackgroundWe aimed to determine the trend of TB-related deaths during the COVID-19 pandemic.MethodsTB-related mortality data of decedents aged ≥25 years from 2006 to 2021 were analyzed. Excess deaths were estimated by determining the difference between observed and projected mortality rates during the pandemic.ResultsA total of 18,628 TB-related deaths were documented from 2006 to 2021. TB-related age-standardized mortality rates (ASMRs) were 0.51 in 2020 and 0.52 in 2021, corresponding to an excess mortality of 10.22 and 9.19%, respectively. Female patients with TB demonstrated a higher relative increase in mortality (26.33 vs. 2.17% in 2020; 21.48 vs. 3.23% in 2021) when compared to male. Female aged 45–64 years old showed a surge in mortality, with an annual percent change (APC) of −2.2% pre-pandemic to 22.8% (95% CI: −1.7 to 68.7%) during the pandemic, corresponding to excess mortalities of 62.165 and 99.16% in 2020 and 2021, respectively; these excess mortality rates were higher than those observed in the overall female population ages 45–64 years in 2020 (17.53%) and 2021 (33.79%).ConclusionThe steady decline in TB-related mortality in the United States has been reversed by COVID-19. Female with TB were disproportionately affected by the pandemic.

IntroductionCholedocholithiasis, a common complication of gallstone disease, poses significant risks including cholangitis and pancreatitis. Various treatment approaches exist, including single-stage and two-stage techniques, with recent literature suggesting advantages of the single-stage approach in terms of outcomes and cost-effectiveness. This study evaluates the feasibility, efficacy, and safety of single-stage laparoscopic cholecystectomy combined with intraoperative endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (LC + iERCP) compared to the previously adopted two-stage approach.MethodsA retrospective analysis was conducted on patients undergoing single-stage LC + iERCP for cholecysto-choledocholithiasis during the COVID-19 pandemic (2020–2022). Data on demographics, preoperative assessments, intraoperative parameters, and postoperative outcomes were collected and compared with an historical control group undergoing the two-stage approach (LC + preopERCP). Hospitalization costs were also compared between the two groups.ResultsA total of 190 patients were included, with 105 undergoing single-stage LC + iERCP. The single-stage approach demonstrated successful completion without cystic duct cannulation, with no conversions to open surgery. Operative time was comparable to the two-stage approach, while hospital stay, and costs were significantly lower in the single-stage group. Complication rates were similar between the groups.ConclusionsSingle-stage LC + iERCP appears to be a feasible, effective, and safe approach for treating cholecysto-choledocholithiasis, offering potential benefits in terms of reduced hospital stay, OR occupation time, and costs compared to the two-stage approach. Integration of this approach into clinical practice warrants consideration, unless there are logistical challenges that cannot be overcome or lack of endoscopic expertise also for treating challenging urgent cases.

Current scientific literature is deficient in detailing the optimal timing for conducting bariatric surgery in relation to kidney transplantation. In this study, we performed a retrospective evaluation of kidney transplant recipients with BMI &gt;35 kg/m2. It aimed to provide data on those who received both sleeve gastrectomy (SG) and kidney transplantation (KT) simultaneously, as well as on patients who underwent SG and KT at different times, either before or after. In addition, the acceptance levels of the bariatric surgery among different scenarios were assessed. Our findings demonstrated that combined KT and SG led to successful weight loss, in contrast to undergoing kidney transplant alone, while maintaining comparable rates of graft and patient survival. Weight loss was similar between recipients who had a combined operation and those who underwent SG following the transplant. Additionally, over a median time frame of 1.7 years, patients who underwent SG before KT exhibited a statistically significant reduction in BMI at the time of the transplant. Notably, our study highlights that patients offered the combined procedure were significantly more likely to undergo SG compared to those for whom SG was presented at a different operative time than the transplant.

Relevance. Xerostomia, commonly known as dry mouth, is a prevalent orofacial disorder among pregnant women experiencing isthmic-cervical insufficiency. This condition manifests as a burning sensation in the mouth, pain, and discomfort during eating. A clear correlation exists between pain, taste alterations, and the perception of oral dryness, highlighting the multifaceted impact of xerostomia on affected individuals. Pregnant women with isthmic-cervical insufficiency, a complication that significantly increases the risk of preterm labor, are particularly susceptible to xerostomia. This condition is often accompanied by heightened psycho-emotional stress, which can exacerbate the symptoms of dry mouth. Despite the multitude of treatments available for xerostomia, the primary objective for dentists is to formulate an appropriate and effective treatment plan, tailored to the physiological needs of the patient. This study evaluates the efficacy of Argymax spray in alleviating xerostomia in pregnant women with isthmic-cervical insufficiency.Materials and methods. A study was conducted involving 84 pregnant women who were assessed and treated over a three-week period to evaluate the rate of mixed saliva secretion. Subjective data were collected using a five-point scale to analyze the reduction in pain potential, itching, and burning. Hygienic and periodontal indices were determined before therapy and three months after the use of the spray.Results. The study demonstrated that Argymax spray begins to act within seven days of initial application and maintains its effectiveness throughout the observation period.Conclusion. Hormonal changes during pregnancy affect both the overall body and the condition of the oral cavity, making it particularly vulnerable. Early diagnosis and appropriate management strategies can prevent the development of several oral mucosal diseases associated with xerostomia. Argymax spray is recommended as symptomatic therapy for the treatment of xerostomia in pregnant women with isthmic-cervical insufficiency.

This study investigates the factors influencing the adoption of Generative-AI tools amongst Thai university students, employing the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) as a theoretical framework. Data from 911 higher education students from 10 different Thai Universities Health Sciences, Sciences and Technology, Social Sciences and Humanities, and Vocational Fields were analysed via Structural Equation Modelling (SEM). The instrument used in collecting the data was a questionnaire. Results indicated that Expected Benefits, Perceived Usefulness, Attitude Toward Technology, and Behavioural Intention all significantly impacted student adoption of Generative AI. Intriguingly, Perceived Ease of Use was negatively correlated with Perceived Usefulness, challenging conventional TAM assumptions. This study underscores the need to address language barriers, foster a culture of innovation, and establish ethical guidelines to promote responsible AI use within education. Despite inherent limitations, this research contributes to our understanding of AI adoption in educational settings and helps inform strategies for equitable access and responsible innovation. The result demonstrated that the easier a tool was to use, the less value leaners seemed to see in it for their learning process. It can be implied that as Generative-AI get more intuitive, learners think they're less helpful. These finding challenges a few of those assumptions we usually make within the TAM model. It also points out the characteristic of learners which affects their learning preferences and expectation. Another finding showed the impact of language barrier on non-native English speaker that obstruct the user experience in AI services. Moreover, the role of universities in fostering both AI integration for learning for and the ethical implementation of Generative AI. By providing a supportive environment that encourages AI experimentation, redesign learning, empowering learners and faculty instructors to investigate how Generative AI can be applied across disciplines, and developing guidelines for ethical use, universities play a critical role in shaping the effective and responsible integration of AI into the next educational landscape.

L’infraction de vol peut être retenue à l’encontre d’un individu qui formalise l’intention de soustraire la chose d’autrui sans véritablement s’en emparer… Étonnant n’est-ce pas ? Pourtant, c’est ce qu’a décidé la cour d’appel de Grenoble le 6 avril 2023 en condamnant l’agent qui a rempli un caddie de marchandises avec l’intention de le voler, puis l’a laissé dans l’enceinte du supermarché sans franchir les caisses. Il a été poursuivi en tant qu’auteur principal alors que son amie l’a été en tant que complice pour avoir initié le vol et rempli le caddie avant de le pousser après les caisses sans en régler le contenu. La circonstance aggravante de vol en réunion a été retenue à leur égard.

Published: June 2024

The complex model describing and taking into account the interrelationships between business processes, organizational structure and information systems of a secondary special education institution is considered. To represent the model the matrix approach with the use of matrix theory tools is used. Weight coefficients of interrelation of model elements are described using the method of expert evaluation and taking into account the zone of responsibility of employees in the performance of certain business processes. The model construction is based on the description of the operational business process “Training of specialists at the level of secondary specialized education”, including subprocesses of theoretical and practical training. The obtained model, consisting of three matrices, allows for accounting and analysis of organizational elements of the educational institution structure for errors, assessment of completeness and cohesion of interaction between structures in order to their further optimization and automation.

Authors: Джулай Ганна 
Published: June 2024

Узагальнено відомості щодо особливостей німецької лютеранської богослужбово-співацької практики XVII-XVIII ст. Виявлено жанрово-типологічні показники німецької духовної кантати, сформованої на тлі лютеранської проповідницької практики та узагальненої у феномені «Hauptmusik» («Головна музика дня»). Обґрунтовано суттєву роль протестантського хоралу в поетиці цього жанру, що визначає інтонаційну мову його кульмінаційних розділів, а також символічну функцію в ньому поліфонічних розділів. Виявлено культово-богослужбову приналежність 68 кантати Й.С. Баха до свята другого дня П’ятидесятниці, що в лютеранській традиції вважається днем народження церкви і підсумком остаточного формування духовних настанов земного буття людини, тобто її вибору між вірою та невірою. Обґрунтовано музично-риторичні особливості інтонаційної мови названої кантати, сформованої на перетині стародавнього духовного наспіву П’ятидесятниці XVII ст. та його авторської обробки.
ПОСЕРЕДНЄ, БЕЗПОСЕРЕДНЄ ТА ОПОСЕРЕДКОВАНЕ В КУЛЬТУРІ
Authors: Петренко Владислав 
Published: June 2024

Стаття присвячена виявленню понять «посереднє», «безпосереднє» та «опосередковане» в культурі на матеріалі філософських джерел. З’ясовано, що трактування цих філософських понять зумовлено культурними практиками та детерміновано часовим простором. Встановлено взаємозв’язок між культурними феноменами та філософськими вченнями, які реагують на зміни в культурній парадигмі, акцентуючи свою увагу на певних аспектах культури в контексті постановки питання «чим є людина?». Доведено відповідність культурних феноменів філософській інтерпретації та широкий вплив традиції на їх взаємозв’язок. Визначено ключові філософські праці, які допомагають осмислити посередність у контексті як традиційних (ієрархічних), так і у постіндустріальних (егалітарних) суспільствах. Окреслюючи різні філософські підходи, можна дійти висновку, що культурну відмінність (наприклад між Сходом і Заходом) можна простежити в системі мислення та системі інтерпретації одних і тих самих понять. Слід зауважити, що філософія не лише фіксує культурну мінливість відповідно до часу, але й аналізує її відповідно до питання про людське буття в культурі як цілісне явище. Холістичний підхід є важливим для подальших досліджень посередності у контексті окремих понять (посереднього, безпосереднього та опосередкованого), які складають частини цілого в межах осмислення феномену посередності.
