Introduction:
Testicular torsion (TT) is a rare but urgent condition; it leads to severe pain and swelling that must be diagnosed and treated immediately, where there is an expectant period of 6–8 h. It is an important prognostic factor in the arrival time to the emergency department. Raising awareness about TT is essential to ensure early diagnosis and timely treatment, which can prevent irreversible damage and loss of fertility.

Aim:
Our study aimed to measure the awareness, knowledge, and attitude toward testicular torsion (TT) among the general population in Saudi Arabia.

Subject and Methods:
This is a cross-sectional study conducted among the general population living in Saudi Arabia. A self-administered questionnaire was distributed among the population using an online survey. The questionnaire includes socio-demographic characteristics (i.e., age, gender, region, etc.), a questionnaire to assess the knowledge of testicular torsion, and questionnaires to assess the prevalence, management, and attitude toward testicular torsion.

Results:
Of the 473 participants, 56% were males, and 61% were aged between 18 to 30 years old. Unfortunately, One quarter of our population has a good knowledge level about testicular torsion. The overall mean knowledge about Testicular Torsion score was below average (3 out of 8 points). Factors associated with increased knowledge include younger age, male gender, living in the Central Region, working in the medical field, having heard of testicular torsion, and having a personal or family history of testicular torsion.

Conclusion:
In conclusion, there was a lack of testicular torsion knowledge among the general population. Further studies and social campaigns should be done to encourage the general population's understanding and increase their knowledge level.

The sachet water nylon (popularly known as pure water nylon) waste was pyrolyzed using batch reactor at a temperature of 500°C and atmospheric pressure. The sachet water nylon waste pyrolized oil percentage yield obtained was 63% without application of the catalyst while the pyrolyzed oil obtained utilizing Ca(OH)2 catalyst was found to be 80% and the pyrolyzed carbon black (PCB) was found to be 0% while the remaining % was mainly pyrolyzed gas. The calorific value of waste nylon pyrolyzed oils was found to be 41.7-42.1MJ/Kg while the density and viscosity were 0.79-0.82 g\cm3 and 2.9-3.2Cst respectively. The results obtained from the Gas Chromatography Mass Spectrometer (GC-MS) revealed total of 100 compounds pyrolyzed oils from both catalyzed and uncatalyzed pyrolysis process. More so, many compounds found to be common in both catalyzed and uncatalyzed pyrolyzed oils.

A 12-week study investigated the effects of processed false yam (Icacina oliviformis) tuber meals on the productive and reproductive performance of breeder layers. Unboiled-sundried (SDFYTM) and boiled-sundried (BSDFYTM) false yam tuber meals were incorporated as partial replacement of maize in the diet such that Diet 1 contained no false yam (control). BSDFYTM was incorporated at 3% and 6% for diets 2 and 3 respectively. SDFYTM was also incorporated at 3% (Diet 4) and 6% (Diet 5). A total of 120 local-exotic crossbreds (100 hens and 20 cocks) of age 43 weeks old were used in a completely randomized design. Each treatment had 4 replicates with a replicate made up of five hens and one cock. Parameters measured included feed intake, feed conversion ratio (FCR), hen-day egg production, egg weight, fertility and hatchability of eggs. Results showed that false yam significantly reduced feed intake (P<0.0001) compared to the birds on the control diets, while 6% SDFYTM significantly increased feed conversion ratio. Both BSDFYTM and SDFYTM at 3% inclusion reduced feed cost per gain compared to the control diet. Hen-day egg production was significantly better for the birds receiving the 3% BSDFYTM (P<0.0001), while the addition of 6% SDFYTM gave the poorest results. The 6% inclusion level of SDFYTM significantly (P<0.05) decreased fertility rate, hatchability, and saleable chicks but increased the dead-inshell. It was concluded that BSDFYTM at 3% and 6% and SDFYTM at 3% level could be added to breeder layer diets without any adverse effect on productive and reproductive performance

An experiment was carried out to assess the effects of concentrate supplements on dry matter and water intake, nutrient digestibility and nitrogen balance of N’dama bull calves fed Napier grass basal diet. Four N’dama bull calves were randomly assigned to one of four dietary treatments in a repeated 4 × 4 Latin Square Design. The treatments consisted of Napier grass only for T1 (Nap0 Conc), T2, Napier grass + concentrate fed at 1.5% LW (Nap1.5Conc), T3, Napier grass + concentrate fed at 2.0% LW (Nap2.0Conc) and T4, Napier grass + concentrate fed at 2.5% LW (Nap2.5Conc). Concentrate supplementation significantly (P<0.05) influenced DM intake, nutrient digestibility, and nitrogen balance. However, the average daily water intake was not affected (P>0.05) by the level of concentrate offered to the animals. The total DM intake of the animals ranged from 36.92 kg to 44.74 kg whereas the average DMI was in the range of 2.64 kg/d to 3.20 kg/d. Increasing the level of concentrate supplementation did not significantly increase total and average DMI but all were higher than the control. Except for ADF digestibility, all digestibility parameters measured were higher (P < 0.05) for the supplemented diets compared with the control. In the case of the nitrogen balance trial, supplementing Napier grass with the concentrate resulted in increased (P <0.0001) N-retention. It was concluded that supplementing a Napier grass basal diet with different levels of concentrates significantly improved N'dama bull calves' dry matter intake, nutrient digestibility, and nitrogen balance compared with the control. Furthermore, supplemental concentrate did not affect the animals' water intake.

Published: April 2024

В статье на основе впервые вводимых в научный оборот источников рассматривается состояние тюрем в Красноярском крае в послевоенный период. Показано количество заключенных в шести тюрьмах края в различные временные промежутки, проанализированы причины превышения их лимита. В частности, из-за бюрократических проволочек осужденные долгое время не переводились из тюрем в лагеря и колонии, в результате чего спецконтингента в тюрьмах становилось слишком много, в нарушение закона заключенные оказывались в одних камерах с подследственными. Немалое количество узников со- держалось в тюрьмах незаконно, вследствие ошибок милиционеров, прокуроров и судей. В разоренной войной стране заключенным не хватало пищи и постельных принадлежностей, наблюдался произвол охраны
The article considers the state of prisons in Krasnoyarsk Krai in the post- war period on the basis of sources introduced into scientific circulation for the first time. The number of prisoners in six prisons of the region at various time intervals is shown and the reasons for exceeding their limit are analyzed. So, due to bureaucratic delays, convicts were not transferred from prisons to camps and colonies for a long time. In violation of the law, convicts were held in the same cells with those under investigation. A considerable number of prisoners were in prison illegally, due to mistakes by policemen, prosecutors and judges. In a war-ravaged country, prisoners lacked food and bedding, employees of security units abused discretion
Ontological meaning of patriotism
Authors: Оботурова Н.С. 
Published: April 2024

В статье осуществлен анализ патриотизма как особого феномена со своей структурой, специфическими способами проявления и развития. Патриотизм рассмотрен в единстве и взаимосвязи естественной, гражданской и духовной форм, как процесс интеграции естественной любви человека к родине как к определенному месту и времени, в которых он родился и вырос, через рефлексию, или духовное опосредствование, в гражданскую форму, реализующуюся в общественной солидарности и деятельной любви к Отечеству, и духовную форму, основанную на признании объективного достоинства и совершенства Родины и отождествлении своей судьбы с духовной судьбой своего народа. Выявлено значение патриотизма как онтологической основы формирования социального единства, показано, что для современной России осмысление патриотизма, ориентированное на классическую философскую традицию, является важным условием обоснования актуальных форм консолидации общества и разработки стратегий его позитивного развития
The article analyzes patriotism as a special phenomenon with its own structure, specific ways of manifestation and development. Patriotism is considered in the unity and interrelation of natural, civil and spiritual forms, as a process of integrating a person’s natural love for the motherland as a certain place and time in which he/she was born and grew up, through reflection, or spiritual mediation, into a civil form realized in social solidarity and active love for the fatherland, and a spiritual form, based on the recognition of the objective dignity and perfection of the motherland and the identification of one’s fate with the spiritual fate of one’s people. The importance of patriotism as an ontological basis for the formation of social unity is revealed. It is shown that for modern Russia, understanding of patriotism, focused on the classical philosophical tradition, is an important condition for substantiating actual forms of consolidation of modern Russian society and developing strategies for its positive development

Authors: Bayazeed Anadil , Almalki Ghaleb , Alnuaim Amjad , Klem Mary , Sethi Amit 
Published: April 2024

Abstract
Importance: Current interventions are limited in improving use of the more-affected upper limb in real-world daily occupations and functional independence poststroke. A comprehensive understanding of the factors influencing real-world upper limb use is required to develop interventions to improve functional independence poststroke.
Objective: To systematically review the factors that influence real-world use of the more-affected upper limb poststroke.
Data Sources: We searched MEDLINE, Embase, PsycINFO, and the Physiotherapy Evidence Database for English-language articles from 2012 to 2023.
Study Selection and Data Collection: Of 774 studies, we included 33 studies that had participants at least age 18 yr who exhibited upper limb impairments poststroke, objectively measured real-world upper limb use using a movement sensor, and measured factors affecting upper limb use. Two reviewers independently screened the abstracts.
Findings: The results were categorized by International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health domains. Prominent factors were upper limb impairment; motor ability; functional independence; task type; hand dominance; stroke-related factors, including time since stroke; and perception of use of the more-affected upper limb.
Conclusions and Relevance: Existing interventions primarily focus on upper limb impairments and motor ability. Our findings suggest that interventions should also incorporate other factors: task type (unilateral vs. bilateral), hand dominance, self-efficacy, and perception of more-affected limb use as active ingredients in improving real-world use of the more-affected upper limb poststroke. We also provide recommendations to use behavioral activation theory in designing an occupation-focused intervention to augment self-efficacy and confidence in use of the more-affected upper limb in daily occupations.
Plain-Language Summary: In order to develop interventions to improve functional independence poststroke, occupational therapy practitioners must have a comprehensive understanding of the factors that influence real-world more-affected upper limb use. The study findings provide a set of distinct factors that practitioners can target separately or in combination to improve real-world use of the more-affected upper limb poststroke.

Published: April 2024

This article has explored the affixation process in the novel The Second Victory by Morris West. Affixation is a morphological process where bound morphemes or affixes are added to create diverse forms of a word. In this study, the researchers analyzed the process of affixation in the novel. This process was researched to be a source of information for readers who want to learn the process of affixation through the explanation of the base word and its affixes. This research aimed to identify the affixes and suffixes present in the novel. The researchers chose Morris West’s The Second Victory because many of Morris West’s works are set in the 40s, which makes readers feel curious about the novel. The qualitative method within analyses of existing verbal data was employed in this research. The researchers found 104 data containing 15 prefixes and 89 suffixes, with a total presentation of 100%. In this novel, the prefix that dominated was RE- which means again to indicate repetition, while the suffix that dominated was -LY which is used to form an adjective from a noun. Using novels as a medium for learning is very effective, especially for people who like to read; therefore, the results of this study can be used to easily identify prefixes and suffixes both in terms of meaning and process in literary works.
Decoding Stress with Computer Vision-Based Approach Using Audio Signals for Psychological Event Identification during COVID-19
Authors: Ankit Kumar  
Published: April 2024

Interpreting psychological events can be costly and quite complex. It is simple to translate such experiences into a person's spoken and nonverbal cues. The suggested model investigates a computer vision-based method for using an individual's audio signal to identify stressful psychological events. Different people's input speech signals are recorded and compared to the common questionnaire. A series of inquiries pertaining to the second stage of COVID-19 events are included in the questionnaire set. Through additional processing, these speech signals are converted into frequency components by means of the Fast Fourier transformation (FFT) method. A long short-term memory module processes each frequency component and produces temporal information from each frequency band. The features of speech signals are extracted into the temporal frames by this module. The VGG 16 algorithm is used to further classify each temporal frame into stress and un-stress classes. A classifier with 16 layers of architecture is called VGG 16. A feed-forward convolutional neural network called VGG 16 is used to divide the vast array of speech signal features into classes: stressed and unstressed. The proposed model attempts to recognize speech signals as stress indicators. A standard set of questionnaires with a series of interrogation-style questions has been used to develop the stress symptoms in an individual's mind. The audio signals generated by each person's responses are recorded and subsequently analyzed for stress and un-stress classes. The proposed model was able to identify stress in speech signals with 98% accuracy. The time and cost implications of the suggested model are relevant. Medical research is typically costly and time-consuming.LSTM; VGG 16; CNN model; data preprocessing; speech signal.
