Published: September 2023

BackgroundFlail chest is a common and serious traumatic condition in thoracic surgery. The treatment of flail chest often includes open reduction and internal fixation, which is relatively traumatic, complicated, and expensive. As three-dimensional (3D) printing technology is widely used in the clinical field, the application of 3D-printed products to chest trauma will become a new treatment option. To date, the use of 3D-printed external fixation guides for flail chests has not been reported. Thus, we aimed to assess the short-term efficacy of a new technology that treated flail chests with an individualized 3D-printed external fixation guide combined with video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS).Patients and methodsA retrospective analysis was performed on patients with flail chest treated with this new technique at our center from January 2020 to December 2022. The following parameters were included: operative time, thoracic tube extraction time, intensive care unit time, thoracic volume recovery rate, visual analog scale score 1 month postoperatively, and postoperative complication rate. All patients were followed up for at least 3 months.ResultsFive patients (mean age: 45.7 years) were enrolled; they successfully underwent surgery without chest wall deformity and quickly returned to daily life. The average number of rib fractures was 8.4; all patients had lung contusion, hemopneumothorax, and anomalous respiration. The abnormal breathing of all patients was completely corrected on postoperative day 1, and the chest wall was stable. One case experienced mild loosening of the 3D-printed guide postoperatively; however, the overall stability was not affected. The other four cases did not experience such loosening because we replaced the ordinary silk wire with a steel wire. All cases were discharged from the hospital 2 weeks postoperatively and returned to normal life 1 month after the removal of the 3D-printed guide on average. Only one case developed a superficial wound infection postoperatively, and no perioperative death occurred.ConclusionsThe 3D-printed external fixation guide combined with video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery is a novel technique in the treatment of flail chest and is safe, effective, feasible, and minimally invasive, with satisfactory clinical efficacy.

Authors: Vallée Alexandre 
Published: September 2023

Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the sex correlations of particulate matters (PM2.5, PM10, PM2.5–10), NO2 and NOx with ASCVD risk in the UK Biobank population.Methods: Among 285,045 participants, pollutants were assessed and correlations between ASCVD risk were stratified by sex and estimated using multiple linear and logistic regressions adjusted for length of time at residence, education, income, physical activity, Townsend deprivation, alcohol, smocking pack years, BMI and rural/urban zone.Results: Males presented higher ASCVD risk than females (8.63% vs. 2.65%, p &lt; 0.001). In males PM2.5, PM10, NO2, and NOx each were associated with an increased ASCVD risk &gt;7.5% in the adjusted logistic models, with ORs [95% CI] for a 10 μg/m3 increase were 2.17 [1.87–2.52], 1.15 [1.06–1.24], 1.06 [1.04–1.08] and 1.05 [1.04–1.06], respectively. In females, the ORs for a 10 μg/m3 increase were 1.55 [1.19–2.05], 1.22 [1.06–1.42], 1.07 [1.03–1.10], and 1.04 [1.02–1.05], respectively. No association was observed in both sexes between ASCVD risk and PM2.5–10.Conclusion: Our findings may suggest the possible actions of air pollutants on ASCVD risk.

Historical and theoretical aspects of the development of Russian statehood and the formation of the civilizational foundations of its representations
Authors: Balahonsky Vitaly , Mukhametov Pavel 
Published: September 2023

Abstract: The article is devoted to the study of one of the current issues of modern science. That is the definition of the correlation between the concepts of «civilization» and «state». It turns out that, despite their heterogeneity (the state is a form of organization of political power, civilization is a phenomenon of cultural development), there is a certain connection between them, due to the reciprocal determination within society of the corresponding functions of the state and culture. The purpose of the research is to analyze these categories in relation to the history of the development of Russian statehood. The article presents the author’sstandpoint in understanding the essence and specificity of the civilizational development of Russian statehood.
The theoretical basis of the study was the work of Russian and foreign scientists.
Methodology. In the process of working with the material, a systematic method, as well as methods of comparative legal, historical-legal, civilizational analysis and formal logicwere used.
Results. It is found that in the considered correlation of theconcepts «civilization» and «state», the concept of «civilization» has a large volume, as far as it can cover several states with a similar culture, and within the same civilization, various forms of state government can historically change. The definition of civilization is formulated, and the authors proposes to understand it as a long-existing self-sufficient community of ethnic groups, countries, states, having a clearly expressed spiritual and material cultural identity and acting as a significant subject of socio-cultural development of human society. The specificity and place of Soviet subcivilization within the framework of Russian civilization are clarified.

The concept and essence of state sovereignty in its historical genesis
Authors: Gribunov Oleg , Stepanova Elena 
Published: September 2023

Abstract: Introduction. The issue of protection of state sovereignty always remains relevant due to the constant presence of threats. At the same time, there are quite a lot of works in the legal literature devoted to the study of the essence and content of state sovereignty. The article considers some aspects that reveal the concept of sovereignty through historical events that influenced the formation of ideas about this concept. Attention is paid to the current state of understanding of state sovereignty.
Methods. The methodological basis of the work is the dialectical method of cognition, which allowed us to trace the interrelationships between various facts and events. The author used general scientific methods, namely methods of analysis and synthesis of information, induction and deduction, as well as the possibility of methods of description and generalisation. The historical method played a significant role.
Results. The results allowed us to definitely determine that the formation of the concept of «sovereignty» took place in the XVII century, and its further comprehension took place in the context of the formation in the states of the institution of rights and freedoms of the citizen, as well as the separation of powers.. At the same time, the study of state sovereignty in relation to the Eastern countries requires special attention.
The study of the historical genesis of the concept of «sovereignty» allowed us to identify three stages for the Western world, the study of which is relevant in the context of this topic. The first period refers to antiquity, when Greek and Roman entities had signs of sovereignty. The second period is related to the Middle Ages and the existence of suzerainty-vassalage relations. The third period refers to the new and modern times and is associated with the comprehension of state sovereignty in its modern sense.
Local self-government in the Constitution and federal laws of Russia: the experience of 30 years of coexistence
Authors: Kozhevnikov Oleg 
Published: September 2023

Abstract: Introduction. This year marks 30 years since the adoption and entry into force of the Constitution of the Russian Federation. During this period, the constitutional and legal framework for the normative consolidation of local self-government in Russia was changed three times, while the text of the country’s Basic Law itself remained unchanged until 2020. Thus, along with invariability of the text of the Constitution, the “substantive” sectoral legal foundations of local self-government were in constant dynamics. According to the author of the study, this phenomenon requires historical and legal research to identify the positive and negative aspects of such development of the regulatory framework for their subsequent consideration by the federal legislator when forming the developing regulatory framework of the unified system of public authority.
Methodology. When working on the text of the study, the author used comparativelegal, historicallegal, analytical, formal legalmethods, statistical data analysis and other methods, which ultimately made it possible to formulate the main results and conclusions.
Results.On the basis of the author’s analysis of certain provisions of federal laws, the practice of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation, main historical events over the past 30 years, the conclusion is made that the federal legislator does not have a complete understanding of what local government is, on what substantive, organizational, economic and other foundationsthe constitutional and legal model of local self-government in the Russian Federation must be implemented. All previously used legislative models for the enforcement of constitutional provisions on local self-government in Russia did not have any continuity and each time represented a new, to a great extent “revolutionary” approach to the organization of local self-government in the territories, moving citizens away from direct participation in its implementation, with simultaneous strengthening of the “state”,primarily of regional influence on the order of local selfgovernment in specific municipal territories.
Effect of opposite phase AC voltage application using dual power supplies on thrust and induced flow of plasma actuator
Authors: Nakamura Yoshinobu , Fujino Takayasu , Segawa Takehiko 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
This study proposes a new driving method using dual power supplies to address a trade-off between power supply miniaturization and the high voltage output driving of a dielectric barrier discharge plasma actuator by simultaneously applying two AC voltages with opposite phases to the exposed and encapsulated electrodes. The performance of the proposed method was compared with that of two conventional driving methods that use a single power supply. The maximum peak-to-peak voltage with the single power supply was 23 kV, whereas that with the dual power supplies using a transformer with a lower output capability was 30 kV. At the same peak-to-peak voltage, the method using dual power supplies had intermediate time-averaged thrust and induced flow velocity among the three methods. This is attributed to the different discharge distributions at the edge of the exposed electrode, which are caused by the different electric field strengths for each method.
SOM BASED ASSURANCE ASSESSMENT FOR INFORMATION SECURITY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM IN ORGANIZATION
Authors: Mohammad Akhriza Tubagus 
Published: September 2023

Abstract: Information Security Management System (ISMS) has a lot of standards such as ISO/IEC 27001. In order to assess the quality assurance of ISMS, an organization should design and implement some mechanism. I propose a mechanism for quality assurance assessment using Kohonen’s Self Organizing Map (SOM). SOM is a means for automatically arranging high-dimensional statistical data so that alike inputs are in general mapped close to each other. The resulting map avails itself readily to visualization, and thus the distance relations between different data items can be illustrated in an intuitive manner. This proposal shows that the proposed framework is able to be conducted and implemented. Through this map, the organization will be able to assess how far the organization’s information security quality has gap with the standard. Not only ISMS ISO’s standard, but also another standard such as Indonesian National Board of Accreditation (BAN-PT). Keywords: SOM, Information Security Management System, Quality Assurance
