Abstract
The paper considers the problem of the economic feasibility of cannabis legalization in the Russian Federation. The paper also analyzes attitudes towards cannabis legalization among 584 residents (291 female and 293 male, 18.8 ± 1.4 for men, 18.3 ± 1.6 for women) from two different Russian regions (with the highest (Republic of Khakassia, Chelyabinsk Region, Moscow Region, Amur Region, and Saint-Petersburg) and lowest (Chukotka Autonomous District, Nenets Autonomous District, Chechen Republic, Arkhangelsk Region, and Orel Region) per capita drug use in the Russian Federation). All participants were interviewed via the Internet. In the first stage, a keyword analysis categorized articles into medical (48 %) and non-medical (52 %) cannabis use, revealing varied perspectives on its benefits and risks. The second stage surveyed Russian citizens, indicating regional differences in attitudes toward cannabis legalization based on per capita drug use. The third stage conducted a PEST analysis, highlighting economic consequences and offering recommendations. Practical implications include the need for targeted prevention programs, effective curriculum modules, and collaborative efforts to address the complex challenges associated with cannabis legalization. The study found that the public attitude towards the legalization of drugs for non-medical purposes is negative. In regions with the highest per capita soft drug use, the legalization of non-medical cannabis is unlikely to cause an increase in the level of usage. Teenagers living in regional centers tend to be more engaged in trying and using cannabis (11.9 %) compared to other cities (8.8 %, p ≤ 0.05) and rural areas, where the rate of cannabis use was the lowest (5.4 %, p ≤ 0.05). This research underscores the importance of tailored interventions and educational strategies to address diverse attitudes toward cannabis legalization. The findings contribute valuable insights for policymakers, educators, and health professionals, guiding the development of informed approaches to substance use prevention. The recommendations emphasize the necessity of proactive measures, such as outreach programs and collaborative efforts, to navigate the multifaceted implications of cannabis legalization and promote overall societal well-being.

Published: December 2023

AbstractThe study of dialectal microvariation in spoken Spanish faces challenges due to the absence of an adequate morpho-syntactically annotated and parsed corpus. Therefore, this article introduces a novel technique, a game-based approach, for creating resources for non-standard Spanish language varieties. The article provides an overview of the progress in designing three Games With A Purpose (GWAPs) prototypes, to wit, Agentes, Tesoros, andAnotatlón. These games aim to facilitate the confirmation and correction of the morpho-syntactic tagging task of theCOSER-AP(Corpus Oral y Sonoro del Español Rural-Anotado y Parseado, ‘Annotated and Parsed Audible Corpus of Spoken Rural Spanish’). First, the article presents the methodology used to build the games. Second, it offers a detailed description of the implemented Game Design Elements (GDEs). Finally, the article discusses the results of a pilot evaluation that assesses player enjoyment and the linguistic accuracy. Findings are promising, withTesorosandAnotatlóndemonstrating high levels of enjoyment. Additionally,Agentesproves to be effective in collecting a large number of annotations. The linguistic accuracy also shows potential benefits of gamified approaches in linguistic annotation tasks. However, it also emphasizes the importance of considering regional in player assessment and training them in multidialectal contexts.
China’s Economy as Xi’s Means of Power Or Why the Chinese Economy is Not yet Bigger than That of the USA
Authors: Tofall Norbert F. 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
Contrary to optimistic predictions from the financial industry in 2011, China’s economy will not have overtaken that of the USA by 2025. Since 2012, Xi Jinping has largely brought the market, private property and the capitalist mode of production back under the control of the Chinese Communist Party. Xi has curtailed the success factor of decentralization and continued to expand the failure factors of interventionism and state control. Capital is now flowing out of China, putting the renminbi under devaluation pressure. Even a relocation of production capacities from China primarily to other Asian countries can already be observed. In its policy of hegemony, China is steering the economy to achieve political and geopolitical ends and is practising geoeconomics. What remains unclear is how the geoeconomics pursued by Xi is intended to enable long-term growth in China.
Sub-THz pyramidal horn antenna for 6G wireless communication
Authors: Kumar Sunil , Kumar Saurabh 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
In this communication, a pyramidal horn antenna is proposed and investigated to operate in the sub-THz region at a centre frequency of 0.245 THz. The antenna has five layers such as coupling layer, air cavity layer, excitation layer, pyramidal horn, and extended side wings. The coupling layer is responsible to couple the electromagnetic (EM) wave from waveguide feed. The excitation layer consists of a plus shape slot which is responsible for the excitation of the proposed antenna. The air cavity is designed such that it can efficiently excite the plus-shaped slot of the excitation layer. In order to achieve high gain and efficiency, the pyramidal horn and the extended side wings are used in combination. The proposed horn antenna has a significant efficiency and gain of 97.1 % and 19.2 dBi respectively and gives a wide impedance bandwidth of 32.3 % (0.205–0.284 THz). When compared to the literature, the proposed novel design demonstrates significant improvement in terms of bandwidth, directivity, and gain. The antenna finds its suitability for Sub-THz 6G wireless communication.

Published: December 2023

Abstract
Sheet erosion is a complex multi-factor-dependent process with high spatial heterogeneity on hillslopes. Although the individual factors have been well studied, their aggregated effect on size-selective erosional processes is highly uncertain. Therefore, this study concentrates on the aggregate size distribution and effective particle size distribution (PSD) of the aggregates in the soil loss, collected from different simulated hillslope positions and surface conditions. These simulated hillslope positions combine moisture content from the extremely dry to the saturated with related slope positions of 2, 5, and 12% steepness and different surface roughness (tilled and crusted surfaces) modelled in a laboratory rainfall simulator. Using hierarchical cluster analysis, the PSD of the aggregates was separated into three groups based on the differences in the 59–116 µm range of the PSD histograms, namely, macro-aggregates, 50–250 µm sized micro-aggregates, and <50 µm sized fractions were classified into distinct groups, although some micro-aggregate samples were classified into the macro-aggregate group. PSDs from the 50–250 µm aggregate size fraction were clustered into a group of macro-aggregates if the PSD changed with time (during the rainfall event), notably on rough surfaces. The role of the specified size range in the classification is believed to be due to the parallel presence of aggregates and single particles in this range. As aggregates have a lower density than mineral particles, they tend to be enriched in soil loss under low-energy runoff conditions. Moreover, all samples in the <50 µm fraction clustered into the macro-aggregate group were eroded from the smooth/crusted surface, probably due to the presence of larger particles. The results indicate that the combined effect of erosional factors is not apparent, and the impact of the crust and extreme moisture content on the selectivity and size distribution of the sediment requires further investigation.

Textile-based piezoelectric impact sensors for fibre-reinforced plastic composites
Authors: Pfeiffer Lena , Hofmann Paul , Haupt Michael 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
Bird strikes on wind turbine rotor blades have long-term impacts on fibre reinforced plastic composites. To monitor and document these impacts, integrating sensors into the composite structure is necessary. However, conventional sensors introduce foreign objects that deflect the fibre orientation, weakening the composite and potentially causing damage like delamination. To address this, silver-coated glass fibre sensors have been developed and integrated into the composite structure. Impact tests confirmed the functionality of the developed sensors. These sensors seamlessly integrate into the reinforcing structure due to their textile nature and multi-layered fibre structure. Unlike conventional sensors, they do not introduce foreign objects or create mechanical weak spots. Instead, they are expected to contribute to the overall stability of the component. In summary, integrating impact sensors into fibre reinforced plastic composites is crucial for documenting bird strike damage. Conventional sensors weaken the composite, but silver-coated glass fibre sensors resolve this issue by seamlessly integrating into the structure, enhancing stability and durability.
Visualization of the Book: Graphic Metaphors in Art Decoration of Ukrainian Church Editions of the Baroque Epoque
Authors: Kurhanova Olena 
Published: December 2023

The article considers the role of metaphor in the art decoration of 17th–18th centuries Ukrainian editions of church books. It claims that the book art of this period is marked by generous use of symbolic and allegoric visual images which play metaphorical role in general structure of the book. Structural-semiotical exploration of title pages, frontispieces, and illustration cycles in more than one hundred reeditions of Ukrainian church books of 17th–18th centuries enabled us to single out the main types of structure forming visual metaphors. All metaphorical visual images, used in decoration of the church books, transfer the meaning of the book through picturing its author, addressee, or the central theological concept. The image of the author in the tradition of the Ukrainian church book art decoration is inserted in the composition of the title page and frontispiece. It visually presents the church book as a creation of a saint person, inspired by God. The addressee is expressed both by the emblem of a patron, who supported book printing, and by an icon of a divine person to whom the prayer content of the book is addressed. The emblem of a patron is positioned on the title page and/or backside of the title page. It visually generalizes the image of the church book edition, printed due to support of notable person. The icons of a prayer addressee on the backside of the title page, on the frontispieces, or on in-text miniatures, reflect the conceptual idea of a church book as a tool for praying. The main idea of a church book is commonly expressed by symbolic and allegoric compositions. Such compositions, positioned on the title pages and frontispieces, summarize the content of the book by the most unexpected visual images. All the complexity of meanings expressed by images of author, addressee, and theological content, demonstrate the baroque means, which Ukrainian church book editors applied to visualize the church book essence.
Reduction of Fecal Calprotectin Levels Induced by a Short Course of Escherichia Coli Nissle is Associated with a Lower Likelihood of Disease Flares in Patients with Ulcerative Colitis in Clinical Remission
Authors: Bodini Giorgia , Ghezzi Andrea , Pasta Andrea , Marabotto Elisa , Calabrese Francesco , Facchini Chiara , Demarzo Maria Giulia , Giannini Edoardo Giovanni 
Published: December 2023

Background and Aims: Fecal calprotectin (FC) is a biomarker of gut inflammation, and Escherichia coli Nissle 1917 (EcN) is a probiotic strain able to reduce gut inflammation and maintain disease remission in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The aim is to assess the effects of EcN administration in patients with IBD in clinical remission and altered FC values.
Methods: We prospectively included 82 patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) (n=49) and Crohn’s disease (CD) (n=33) in clinical remission and with FC values above 250 mcg/g (T0) who were treated with EcN alone for 2 months. FC values were assessed at the end of EcN treatment (T1) and clinical disease activity at 3 months (T2).
Results: At T1 median FC values were significantly lower compared to T0 both in patients with CD (312 mcg/g vs 626 mcg/g, p<0.0001) and UC (100 mcg/g vs 584 mcg/g; p<0.0001). Patients with UC who experienced disease relapse at T2 had lesser reduction in median FC values at T1 (-229 mcg/g, vs -397 mcg/g, p=0.049), while in patients with CD we observed no statistically significant difference (-358 mcg/g, vs -427; p=0.568). In patients with UC, a reduction of at least 532 mcg/g in FC had an accuracy of 69.7% and a positive predictive value of 65.7% in predicting maintenance of remission.
Conclusions: A short course of EcN was associated with a reduction of FC values in patients with IBD in clinical remission and baseline altered FC values, and in patients with UC this decrease was associated with maintenance of clinical remission.

Published: December 2023

Background and Aims: Immune checkpoint inhibitors may cause various types of organ damage as immune-related adverse events, of which, liver damage is the most common. Herein, we evaluated the clinicopathological features of immune checkpoint inhibitor-related liver injury and investigated the differences between immune checkpoint inhibitor-related liver injury and drug-induced liver injury or autoimmune hepatitis.
Methods: We selected patients with ≥ grade 3 liver injury who were diagnosed with immune checkpoint inhibitor-related liver injury (n=15). Liver biopsies were performed in 10 of the 15 cases. We also selected cases in which a liver biopsy was performed and drug-induced liver injury (n=7) or autoimmune hepatitis [n=21: acute exacerbation (n=13) was diagnosed and cases of acute onset (n=8), in which liver function test results corresponded to ≥ grade 3].
Results: Portal fibrosis and periportal activity scores were significantly higher in the acute exacerbation autoimmune hepatitis group than in the other groups. Portal and lobular activity were not different between the groups. Plasma cell infiltration showed a higher trend in the autoimmune hepatitis group than in the other groups. Granuloma formations were seen in 90% of immune checkpoint inhibitor-related liver injury cases. The CD4/8 ratio was significantly lower in the immune checkpoint inhibitor-related liver injury group than in the other groups. Patients with bile duct injury had poorer response to corticosteroid therapy than those without.
Conclusions: There are some obvious differences among immune checkpoint inhibitor-related liver injury, drug-induced liver injury, and autoimmune hepatitis in liver histology. Liver biopsy is helpful for the diagnosis and severity evaluation of liver injury.

Published: December 2023

Background and Aims: Childlessness and infertility represent a frequent and important issue in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients. Nevertheless, until now epidemiological data remains scarce. Therefore, main objectives of this study were to evaluate the rate of childlessness and the cumulative probability of reproduction in female and male IBD patients within the Swiss Inflammatory Bowel Disease Cohort Study (SIBDCS), a large prospective multicenter nationwide cohort.
Methods: Prospectively collected data of SIBDCS was used, comprising more than 3,300 patients with Crohn’s disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC). We analyzed the following groups of patients: 1) female IBD patients aged ≥40 years and diagnosed before age of 30 years with at least one follow-up, 2) female IBD patients who reported actively trying to conceive, with IBD diagnosed <35 years and with age at enrolment <45 years (longitudinal observation), with at least one follow-up, and 3) childless males who actively tried to conceive.
Results: A total of 1,412 female patients from the SIBDCS [843 CD, 539 UC, 30 indeterminate colitis (IC)] with available data were included in our analyses. Out of those 184 females (70.1% CD and 29.9 % UC) were aged ≥ 40 years and have been diagnosed with IBD before the age of 30 years. Among these, 184 women 32.1% were childless. The portion of childless females (36.4%) was significantly higher in CD vs. UC (36.4% vs. 21.8%; p=0.026), equaling a relative risk of childlessness of 1.7 in CD vs. UC. and higher than in the Swiss general population (21%). The mean number of children per female patient was 1.32 (median 1, min 0, max 6), per female with CD 1.12 (median 1, min 0, max 4), per female with UC/IC 1.78 (median 2, min 0, max 6; P=0.001). The longitudinal analysis of female IBD patients trying to conceive revealed that one out of two women neither were pregnant nor had born a child five years after first trying to conceive.
Conclusions: The rate of childlessness in females with CD is higher compared to the general Swiss population, whereas it is similar in women with UC. Moreover, the mean number of children is lower in CD than in UC. Females with CD remain more often childless compared to their UC counterparts. Although the exact underlying mechanisms are largely unknown, this discrepancy should alert healthcare professionals treating CD patients to actively address this topic.

Published: December 2023

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES
Longitudinal pediatric low-value care (LVC) trends are not well established. We used the Pediatric Health Information System LVC Calculator, which measures utilization of 30 nonevidenced-based services, to report 7-year LVC trends.

METHODS
This retrospective cohort study applied the LVC Calculator to emergency department (ED) and hospital encounters from January 1, 2016, to December 31, 2022. We used generalized estimating equation models accounting for hospital clustering to assess temporal changes in LVC.

RESULTS
There were 5 265 153 eligible ED encounters and 1 301 613 eligible hospitalizations. In 2022, of 21 LVC measures applicable to the ED cohort, the percentage of encounters with LVC had increased for 11 measures, decreased for 1, and remained unchanged for 9 as compared with 2016. Computed tomography for minor head injury had the largest increase (17%–23%; P &lt; .001); bronchodilators for bronchiolitis decreased (22%–17%; P = .001). Of 26 hospitalization measures, LVC increased for 6 measures, decreased for 9, and was unchanged for 11. Inflammatory marker testing for pneumonia had the largest increase (23%–38%; P = .003); broad-spectrum antibiotic use for pneumonia had the largest decrease (60%–48%; P &lt; .001). LVC remained unchanged or decreased for most medication and procedure measures, but remained unchanged or increased for most laboratory and imaging measures.

CONCLUSIONS
LVC improved for a minority of services between 2016 and 2022. Trends were more favorable for therapeutic (medications and procedures) than diagnostic measures (imaging and laboratory studies). These data may inform prioritization of deimplementation efforts.
Deductive content analysis as a research method in the field of education sciences – A systematic literature review of journal articles in Web of Science (2019–2023)

Published: December 2023

AbstractContent analysis plays a pivotal role in the field of educational science. This paper delves into an examination of studies within the discipline that have employed a deductive approach when applying this method. Our research focus revolved around the thematic patterns present in the corresponding scientific discourse and the techniques utilized for deductive content analysis.We conducted a systematic literature review within the Web of Science database to identify journal articles employing a theory-driven approach to content analysis. The results of the investigation revealed that empirical studies in the domains of health studies, professional development, and learning enhancement seldom adhere exclusively to deductive reasoning during content analysis. Instead, they typically blend deductive reasoning with inductive coding processes.
