A cadaveric study on prevalence, morphology, morphometry, and histology of os peroneum in the South Indian population
Authors: Jincy Raj C  , Lizamma Alex  , Gaddam Vijaya Lakshmi  , Nithin K Raju  
Published: March 2024

Background: The complex framework of the human foot enables movement and weight support. The os peroneum (OP) is a sesamoid bone located in the tendon of peroneus longus. Though tiny, it plays crucial roles in foot movement and arch stability injuries to the tendon are significant, and the OP itself can fracture, dislocate, or impinge. Its presence, size, and even histological type influence the proper functioning of the foot. Studying this sesamoid bone, with its variable prevalence and morphology, can fill gaps in foot and ankle pathology research.
Aims and Objectives: To analyze the prevalence, morphology, morphometry, and histology of OP in human adult cadavers in the South Indian population.
Materials and Methods: Forty-two formalin-fixed human adult cadaveric free lower limbs were selected and studied from the Department of Anatomy, Pushpagiri Institute of Medical Sciences and Research Centre, Tiruvalla, Kerala. The prevalence of OP in peroneus longus tendons (PLT) and its various configurations were carefully observed, along with their histological types, and then statistical analysis of the data was done using SPSS version 20.
Results: Thirty-nine out of the forty-two free lower limbs showed the presence of an OP bearing a smooth oval facet, except for one OP with a round facet. All OP were invariably present in the tunnel for PLT on the plantar surface of the cuboid bone. Three different histological types of this tissue were observed, i.e., osseous, cartilaginous, and fibrous.
Conclusion: The present study has attempted to fill the gap in the research data regarding OP in the adult South Indian population. In addition, the knowledge of OP and its configuration in PLT could provide a better radiological and clinical approach to mid- and fore-foot pathologies.

ЗМІНА ЦІННІСНИХ ПРІОРИТЕТІВ ГРОМАДЯН УКРАЇНИ В УМОВАХ ЕКЗИСТЕНЦІЙНИХ ЗАГРОЗ
Authors: Шайгородський Юрій 
Published: March 2024

У статті досліджуються процеси зміни ціннісних пріоритетів українських громадян під впливом повномасштабного російського воєнного вторгнення в Україну. Показано, що в умовах екзистенційної загрози відбуваються кардинальні зміни структури ціннісних орієнтацій, переосмислюється значущість загальнолюдських і демократичних цінностей, цінності держави та її територіальної цілісності. Наголошується на тому, що консолідація українського суспільства стала його відповіддю на російську воєнну агресію.
Здійснено аналіз морально-психологічних складових сучасних суспільно-політичних процесів. Розкрито поняття ціннісно-орієнтаційної єдності як показника рівня близькості оцінок, установок, цінностей та позицій стосовно суспільно значущих подій та процесів, ключової характеристики системи соціальних зв’язків, регулятора поведінки та орієнтира вибору поведінкових моделей в умовах екзистенційних загроз. Виокремлено чинники, які впливають на рівень ціннісно-орієнтаційної єдності громадян України. Проаналізовано структуру та динаміку змін ціннісних орієнтацій під впливом війни, виокремлено домінантні на нинішньому етапі державотворення цінності. Показано, що основними чинниками консолідації українського соціуму в умовах екзистенційних загроз є його здатність до самоорганізації та суспільної мобілізації, впевненість у перемозі та соціальний оптимізм. Акцентовано, що спроможність суспільства до єднання та самоорганізації є результатом досвіду соціальної взаємодії, набутого в процесі становлення та розбудови громадянського суспільства в Україні, свідченням політичної зрілості громадян.
ПОЛІТИЧНІ НАСЛІДКИ ГЛОБАЛІЗАЦІЇ ІНФОРМАЦІЙНОГО ПРОСТОРУ
Authors: Побочій Роман 
Published: March 2024

Стаття присвячена дослідженню важливого аспекту сучасного суспільства – політичним наслідкам глобалізації інформаційного простору. В контексті швидкого розвитку технологій та безпрецедентної доступності інформації, цей аспект набуває особливої актуальності, оскільки сучасний світ переживає нові виклики та можливості у сфері політики та суспільства загалом. Автор пропонує широкий огляд впливу глобалізації на поширення та обробку інформації в політичному контексті. Важливим фокусом дослідження є аналіз зростання доступності інформації та його роль у формуванні глобальної свідомості. Медіа, соціальні мережі та інші платформи відіграють значну роль у створенні об'єднаної світової свідомості.
Додатково досліджуються важливі аспекти впливу глобальних акторів, як міжнародні корпорації та неурядові організації, на політичні процеси. Ці суб'єкти здатні впливати на політичні рішення та громадську думку завдяки своїй глобальній присутності та ресурсам. Важливо аналізувати роль цих акторів у зміні політичного ландшафту та їх вплив на прийняття ключових рішень. Стаття приділяє значну увагу аналізу кіберзагроз та інформаційної безпеки в політичному контексті. Зростання кібернетичних загроз та ризиків для національної безпеки вимагає ретельного вивчення та вдосконалення стратегій кібербезпеки для ефективного функціонування політичних систем.
Важливою частиною дослідження є також аналіз впливу глобалізації інформаційного простору на розвиток демократії та зміну парадигми зв'язку між владою та громадянами. Розглядається, як можливо використовувати глобалізацію для сприяння участі громадян у прийнятті політичних рішень, як вона може позитивно вплинути на розвиток демократичних процесів. Стаття пропонує розглянути важливі виклики та можливості, які глобалізація інформаційного простору вносить у сучасний політичний ландшафт. Розуміння цих наслідків відкриває двері до змін та адаптації у сфері політики, сприяючи збалансованому та демократичному розвитку суспільства.

Objetivou-se avaliar o efeito do armazenamento dos grãos de feijoeiro especial em temperatura ambiente sobre as características qualitativas. Foram utilizados nove cultivares de feijoeiro com grãos especiais: BRS Radiante, BRSMG Realce, BRS Pitanga, BRSMG Tesouro, BRS Marfim, BRSMG União, IAC Tigre, EPAMIG Ouro vermelho e EPAMIG Ouro da mata, durante cinco períodos de armazenamento: recém-colhido, 60, 120, 180 e 240 dias após o armazenamento, com exceção do teor de proteína bruta dos grãos que foram avaliados em três períodos (recém-colhido, 120 e 240 dias). Os grãos foram acondicionados em embalagens plásticas fechadas (15,5 x 12 cm), com 1,5 kg de grãos, utilizando-se quatro repetições por cultivar e armazenados em condição ambiente. Foram avaliados: umidade dos grãos, teor de proteína bruta, tempo de cocção, tempo de máxima hidratação, relação de hidratação, embebição antes do cozimento, expansão volumétrica e grãos inteiros após o cozimento. O período de armazenamento influenciou nos parâmetros avaliados em todas as cultivares utilizadas. Há redução das características tecnológicas dos grãos com o período de armazenamento, com exceção do teor de umidade, tempo de cocção e relação de hidratação. Os grãos armazenados a partir dos 120 dias aumentam o tempo de cocção e a relação de hidratação.

Technological quality of special bean grains during storage

ABSTRACT: The objective was to evaluate the effect of storage of special bean grains at room temperature on the qualitative characteristics. Nine bean cultivars with special grains were used: BRS Radiante, BRSMG Realce, BRS Pitanga, BRSMG Treasury, BRS Marfim, BRSMG União, IAC Tigre, EPAMIG Ouro Vermelho and EPAMIG Ouro da mata, during five storage periods: freshly harvested, 60, 120, 180 and 240 days after storage, except the crude protein content of the grains, which were evaluated in three periods (newly harvested, 120 and 240 days). The grains were packed in closed plastic packages (15.5 x 12 cm), with 1.5 kg of grain, using four replications per cultivar and stored in ambient conditions. The following were evaluated: grain moisture, crude protein content, cooking time, maximum hydration time, hydration ratio, soaking before cooking, volumetric expansion and whole grains after cooking. The storage period influenced the parameters evaluated in all cultivars used. There is a reduction in the technological characteristics of the grains with the storage period, except for the moisture content, cooking time and hydration ratio. Grains stored after 120 days increase the cooking time and hydration ratio.

Assessing Economic Activities by Using Term Spreads
Authors: Bissessur Sheik Ahmad Ryman , Sookia Noor-Ul-Hacq 
Published: March 2024

Both linear and non-linear models have been used in literature in developed countries to assess the forecasting power of the term spread on output. When it comes to developing economies, however, a gap in research exists. As such, the main objective of this research work is to assess the predicting capacity of the variable term spread on economic growth in the context of a developing country, namely, Mauritius. In this regard, an extended production function is designed that includes major relevant macroeconomic variables such as Spread, Investment, Human Capital, Openness to Trade, Foreign Direct Investment, and Inflation. Following the test of stationarity, where a mixture of I(0) and I(1) variables are obtained but no I(2), the autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) model is chosen for regression purposes. We found that the spread variable has a positive impact on economic growth though being weakly significant and very low. A major limitation when dealing with Treasury Bills in Mauritius is the lack of data on medium to long-term securities, hence, restricting the longest term security use to the 1-year Treasury Bills. This research can be viewed as a pioneering work in assessing term spread on economic activity in developing economies.
Analysis of the usual significance of the public value – the concept of “professionalism” in the conceptual comparative aspect in Russian and English languages
Authors: Engel N.V. , Omarova A.M. , Zhuman A.K. 
Published: March 2024

The article provides a linguistic and cultural analysis of the “professionalism” concept in the comparative aspect of Russian and English. This concept belongs to the field of intellectual and educational activities of a person and is part of the universal values of subjective and personal qualities. To identify the conceptual aspect of the “professionalism” concept, an analysis is carried out on the material of articles in a series of dictionaries of Russian and English languages. A review of the dictionary interpretations of the key representative lexeme made it possible to identify the most important distinctive features of the “professionalism” concept in two languages: proficiency in a profession and professional skill. Comparative analysis of the internal form of the name of the “professionalism” concept in English and Russian showed that the usual meaning is still skill and specialization that determine this quality. At the same time, significant differences are revealed, which indicate the dissimilarity of the cultures of the studied languages and are explained by extralinguistic conditions. Based on obtained the data, the most recurrent representatives of the concept under consideration are identified. The analysis of the factual material made it possible not only to confirm the obtained data, but also to supplement them with a number of lexical representatives capable of participating at the functional level in the nomination of the concept of cognitive interest. Thus, the study of the semantic field of the “professionalism” concept in English and Russian confirms the assumption that there are differences in the structure of this concept in two linguocultures.
Clinical and radiological features of parasagittal dural arteriovenous fistulas: a report of 8 cases from a single institution
Authors: Alexander A. Yohan , Patel Nitesh P. , Cloft Harry J. , Lanzino Giuseppe , Brinjikji Waleed 
Published: March 2024

OBJECTIVE
Dural arteriovenous fistulas (dAVFs) of the superior sagittal sinus (SSS) are uncommon and represent 5%–12% of all intracranial dAVFs. SSS dAVFs can be divided into two main subtypes. The first type involves direct arterialization of the SSS, whereas the second type consists of a parasagittal arteriovenous shunt draining into a cortical vein directly lateral to the SSS and has retrograde cortical venous drainage with only secondary involvement of the SSS. Descriptions of the latter type of SSS dAVF are limited. As such, the authors present a consecutive case series of parasagittal SSS dAVFs from their institution. They detail clinical presentation, treatment strategies, and clinical and radiographic outcomes.

METHODS
The authors retrospectively reviewed a prospectively collected database of dAVFs that were treated between 2017 and 2023. All dAVFs characterized by an arterialized parasagittal vein directly lateral to the SSS were included in this study. Baseline demographic, clinical, radiological, treatment, and outcome-specific variables of interest were abstracted.

RESULTS
One hundred fifty-four dAVFs were seen at the authors’ institution over the 6-year period of interest. Eight (5.2%) were parasagittal dAVFs. At initial diagnostic imaging, 7 were Cognard grade III and 1 was grade IV. All patients initially underwent embolization of their dAVF. Three patients did not have complete obliteration of their dAVF after the first embolization. One patient underwent further treatment with repeat embolization, and 1 underwent microsurgical disconnection—both resulted in complete occlusion of the dAVF. Seven dAVFs were obliterated at final follow-up and 1 remained patent as the patient refused further treatment despite angiographic progression of dAVF. All symptomatic patients had resolution of their symptoms, and the average length of follow-up was 16.8 months.

CONCLUSIONS
Treatment of parasagittal dAVFs consists of occluding the proximal portion of the parasagittal arterialized draining vein. Endovascular therapy with liquid embolic agents is usually the first line of treatment. Surgical ligation is a valid option if the fistula cannot be successfully obliterated with embolization. Symptoms related to the SSS dAVF resolve after their obliteration.
