Cerebral microdialysis demonstrates improvements in brain metabolism with cerebrospinal fluid diversion in spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage
Authors: Shah Ishan , Chen Patrick M. , Tran Diem Kieu Thi , Chen Jefferson W. 
Published: November 2023

Background:
Cerebral microdialysis (CMD) is an FDA-approved multimodal invasive monitoring technique that provides local brain metabolism measurements through continuous interstitial brain fluid sampling at the bedside. The past applications in traumatic brain injury and subarachnoid hemorrhage show that acute brain injury (ABI) can lead to a metabolic crisis reflected by changes in cerebral glucose, pyruvate, and lactate. However, limited literature exists on CMD in spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH).

Case Description:
A 45-year-old woman presented with a Glasgow Coma Scale of 8T and left frontal ICH with a 6 mm midline shift. She underwent craniotomy and ICH evacuation. Intraoperatively, CMD, brain tissue oxygenation (PbtO2), intracranial pressure (ICP), and cerebral blood flow (CBF) catheters were placed, targeted toward the peri-hematoma region. Postoperatively, ICP was normal; however, PbtO2, CBF, glucose, and lactate/ pyruvate ratio were abnormal. Due to concern for the metabolic crisis, poor examination, and hydrocephalus on computed tomography of the head (CTH), she underwent external ventricular drainage (EVD). Post-EVD, all parameters normalized (P < 0.05 on Student’s t-test). Monitors were removed, and she was discharged to a nursing facility with a modified Rankin scale of 4.

Conclusion:
Here, we demonstrate the safe implementation of CMD in ICH and the use of CMD in tandem with PbtO2/ICP/CBF to guide treatment in ICH. Despite a normal ICP, numerous cerebral metabolic derangements existed and improved after cerebrospinal fluid diversion. A normal ICP may not reflect underlying metabolic-substrate demands of the brain during ABI. CMD and PbtO2/CBF monitoring augment traditional ICP monitoring in brain injury. Further prospective studies will be needed to understand further the interplay between ICP, PbtO2, CBF, and CMD values in ABI.

Published: November 2023

Background:
Distinguishing an isolated metastatic dural tumor from a meningioma on imaging is challenging and may lead to a delay in treatment. Here, we present the first known case of isolated, solitary dural metastasis from hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) mimicking a meningioma.

Case Description:
A 64-year-old male with a history of liver cirrhosis presented with a 5.8 cm enhancing left parafalcine hemorrhagic dural-based mass extending across the midline. Cerebral angiography revealed a distal left anterior pseudoaneurysm, and tumor contrast blush with feeders from the left ophthalmic and right middle meningeal artery. The pseudoaneurysm was successfully embolized to stop the bleeding, followed by an uneventful bi-coronal frontal craniotomy for falcine tumor resection to relieve brain compression. Histopathological analysis of the dural-based tumor showed poorly differentiated carcinoma with positive albumin in situ hybridization and cytokeratin tumor markers, consistent with dural metastases from HCC.

Conclusion:
When encountering a solitary, highly vascular mass bearing resemblance to a meningioma, it may be prudent to consider the possibility of a dural-based metastatic carcinoma.
The Law of Dynamic Progression (jo-ha-kyu) and "Pause" (ma) in Traditional Musical Theatre, Music, and Other Temporary Arts of Japan: the Problem of the Analytical Approach
Authors: Есипова М.В. 
Published: November 2023

Специфический японский, не имеющий аналогов в мировой музыкальной практике принцип организации композиционного процесса (дзё-ха-кю) в последние десятилетия все больше привлекает внимание композиторов и театральных режиссеров. Оформившийся в рамках средневековой музыкальной драмы Но, этот закон распространился не только на последующие музыкально-театральные жанры, но и на иные традиционные временные искусства Японии. По значимости дзё-ха-кю сравнивают с законом золотого сечения в европейском искусстве. Не менее специфическая японская трактовка паузы — тишины и остановки движения (ма) создает трудности не только для музыковедов, но и для японских исполнителей, для которых ощущение или интуитивное нахождение длительности паузы-ма является показателем высшего мастерства и духовности.
The specific Japanese principle of organization of the compositional process (Japanese: jo-ha-kyu), which has no analogues in world musical practice, has increasingly attracted the attention of composers and theater directors in recent decades. Formed within the framework of the medieval musical drama Noh, this law spread not only to subsequent musical and theatrical genres, but also to other traditional temporary arts of Japan. In terms of importance, jo-ha-kyu is compared with the law of the golden section in European art. The no less specific Japanese interpretation of pause – silence and stop of movement (ma) creates difficulties not only for musicologists, but also for Japanese performers, for whom the feeling or intuitive finding of the duration of a pause-ma is an indicator of superior skill and spirituality.
Tracing the Characteristics and Consequences of Luxury Through a Review of Literature
Authors: Devanathan Sangeeta 
Published: November 2023

Purpose: The academic interest in ‘luxury’ as a concept may be traced to Veblen’s seminal work “Theory of the Leisure Class”, where he argues that wealthy individuals often consume luxury for purposes signalling status. This premise created numerous research work on answering questions such as – how does one identify a brand as luxury, what characteristics typify a luxury brand, how does a luxury marketer achieve these characteristics, what benefits do consumers seek from luxury, and finally, what are the consequences of luxury consumption for the consumer and to the society. This paper explores answers to these questions through an in-depth review of literature.

Theoretical Framework: The scoping for the review of literature was carried out by applying the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA).

Design Methodology and Approach: Keywords like ‘luxury management’, ‘luxury consumer’, ‘luxury definition’ and ‘luxury brand’ were searched on prominent databases (EBSCO, Emerald, JSTOR, ProQuest and Google Scholar). The relevant papers were reviewed and cross referred to ensure comprehensiveness of the review of literature. The arguments and evidences from over 50 research papers (primarily between 1995-2023) have been stitched to create the conceptual model proposed in the paper. The literature reviewed and were categorized as a) research which discuss and propose the typifying characteristics of luxury, b) research which examined the consequences of luxury consumption to the society and to the consumer and c) research expounding the distinct approach required for managing luxury brands. By connecting the evidences from extant literature, this paper proposes a model that traces the characteristics of luxury (and the antecedent or source of the characteristic) with its corresponding benefits and consequences. Finally, the specificities of luxury management that arise from the characteristics and consequences have been explored and discussed.

Research, Practical and Social Implications: Elaborating on the features of luxury provides scholars and researchers with a basis for deriving operational definitions in future research. Moreover, by mapping the connection between the characteristics of luxury and their associated benefits and consequences, the research offers luxury marketers practical insights for effectively managing and cultivating robust luxury value.

Originality Value: The article consolidates existing literature to create a concise conceptual model, offering novel viewpoints on luxury and luxury marketing.
“Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic”: Genesis of Issue and Influence on the International Relations
Authors: Zvezdova Olesia 
Published: November 2023

An important and urgent issue in the context of ensuring European and international security is the settlement of the Transnistrian conflict. Despite the considerable number of works on the Transnistrian issue, they are mainly devoted to the history and features of the conflict development. At the same time, problem of the present state of the territory and future forecasts are not explored properly. Therefore, the article aims to determine the historical background and stages of the conflict, to characterize the current state of the separatist region and to provide forecasts for the future situation. Methods used for the research include: content analysis, statistical, historical-genetic and the analytic-prognostic methods.
The article analyzes the basic historical prerequisites and causes of the Transnistrian conflict, which are divided into four blocks: historical, ethno-national, economic and geopolitical. The stages of conflict confrontation and the negotiation process in 5+2 format, the positions of the participating countries are explored. The process of conflict peaceful settlement began after the end of the armed confrontation phase in 1992. It is characterized by considerable activity of external actors, but has not led to significant consequences. A description of the current state of the so-called “Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic” is given. Particularly noteworthy is the ever-growing role of the Russian Federation, which traditionally views the territory as an area of its imperial national interests and uses this “frozen conflict” as a lever of influence over the pro-European Republic of Moldova. The main scenarios are highlighted: reintegration into the mother country; inclusion territory of the “de facto state” into patron state; achieving international recognition of sovereignty; maintaining the status quo.
It is concluded that federalization is the most possible forecast for the Transnistrian conflict, because Moldova already has similar experience in Gagauzia. But at the present stage we are observing the status quo.
The Position of Japan and South Korea Regarding the Russian-Ukrainian War
Authors: Habro Іryna , Shevchuk Оleksandr 
Published: November 2023

The article reveals the position and actions of Japan and South Korea regarding the Russian-Ukrainian war after February 24, 2022. Russia’s annexation of Crimea in 2014 prompted mostly symbolic sanctions from Japan and did not distract Tokyo from its aspiration to improve relations with Moscow. However, Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine has caused tension in relations between Tokyo and Moscow. Japan is the center of support for Ukraine in the Asia-Pacific region, which is extremely important for our country, since this state belongs to the G7 and is one of the leading economies in the world.
In contrast, South Korea’s reaction was mixed. When the war broke out, Seoul’s response was vague and mixed, prompting a wave of international criticism that the government did not seem to understand or know how to respond to. The first response of the administration of South Korean President Moon Jae-in was fear for South Korean exports to Russia. For several days, it was unclear whether Seoul would support the sanctions regime. South Korea took action only when the US began threatening trade exclusions on goods needed by exporters.
Today, in the Asian context, South Korea and Japan are among the few countries that have provided the most comprehensive support to Ukraine and its partners after February 24, 2022. The Republic of Korea and Japan condemned Russia, imposed sanctions against Moscow, and provided Kyiv with aid and non-lethal military equipment. In addition, South Korea also transferred weapons to Ukraine to repel a Russian invasion, even if these transfers were made through third parties. South Korea and Japan’s pro-Ukrainian position and consequent anti-Russian stance is a result of their strong alliance with the United States and growing security ties with other Western countries, their need to prevent North Korea and China from contemplating similar actions, and their desire to inform that similar events in the region would be undesirable.

BackgroundThe earliest recognised infections by the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant (Pango lineage B.1.1.529) in Belgium and Switzerland suggested a connection to an international water polo tournament, held 12–14 November 2021 in Brno, Czechia.AimTo study the arrival and subsequent spread of the Omicron variant in Belgium and Switzerland, and understand the overall importance of this international sporting event on the number of infections in the two countries.MethodsWe performed intensive forward and backward contact tracing in both countries, supplemented by phylogenetic investigations using virus sequences of the suspected infection chain archived in public databases.ResultsThrough contact tracing, we identified two and one infected athletes of the Belgian and Swiss water polo teams, respectively, and subsequently also three athletes from Germany. In Belgium and Switzerland, four and three secondary infections, and three and one confirmed tertiary infections were identified. Phylogenetic investigation demonstrated that this sporting event played a role as the source of infection, but without a direct link with infections from South Africa and not as a superspreading event; the virus was found to already be circulating at that time in the countries involved.ConclusionThe SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant started to circulate in Europe several weeks before its identification in South Africa on 24 November 2021. Accordingly, it can be assumed that travel restrictions are usually implemented too late to prevent the spread of newly detected SARS-CoV-2 variants to other regions. Phylogenetic analysis may modify the perception of an apparently clear result of intensive contact tracing.

Published: November 2023

IntroductionThe use of ultrasonography (USG) is no longer restricted to the radiology department. It is becoming the equivalent of a stethoscope. Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) is an USG examination method designed to answer specific clinical questions.AimTo encourage doctors to use POCUS in their everyday practice based on a presentation of its use in diagnostics of acute appendicitis in the paediatric patient.Material and methodsA retrospective evaluation was performed of 95 cases of abdominal pain referred by a paediatrician for surgical assessment at emergency department between November 2021 and October 2022. The assessment included a clinical examination supplemented with POCUS.
Based on the assessment made by the emergency department doctor, the patients were divided into two groups – those who did not require hospitalisation in the paediatric surgery department (group 1) and those who did (group 2). Each group was subsequently divided into subgroup A, where no abdominal cavity USG was performed by a radiologist and subgroup B, where the patients were examined by a radiologist.Results and discussionThe use of POCUS in the context of clinical symptoms allows for achieving the same degree of detectability as in an examination performed by a radiologist. A positive result of POCUS or clinical symptoms indicative of acute appendicitis requires continuing the diagnostic process.ConclusionsThe application of USG in abdominal pain diagnostics in a paediatric patient helps to reduce the time needed for the correct diagnosis and, in consequence, for the patient's treatment. Due to its availability, USG should be widely used to supplement clinical examination by each physician.
Strategic Planning for Equitable RWIS Implementation: A Comprehensive Study Incorporating a Multi-variable Semivariogram Model
Authors: Biswas Simita , Kwon Tae J. 
Published: November 2023

This paper extends the previously developed method of optimizing Road Weather Information Systems (RWIS) station placement by unveiling a sophisticated multi-variable semivariogram model that concurrently considers multiple vital road weather variables. Previous research primarily centered on single-variable analysis focusing on road surface temperature (RST). The study bridges this oversight by introducing a framework that integrates multiple critical weather variables into the RWIS location allocation framework. This novel approach ensures balanced and equitable RWIS distribution across zones and aligns the network with areas both prone to traffic accidents and areas of high uncertainty. To demonstrate the effectiveness of this refinement, the authors applied the framework to Maine’s existing RWIS network, conducted a gap analysis through varying planning scenarios and generated optimal solutions using a heuristic optimization algorithm. The analysis identified areas that would benefit most from additional RWIS stations and guided optimal resource utilization across different road types and priority locations. A sensitivity analysis was also performed to evaluate the effect of different weightings for weather and traffic factors on the selection of optimal locations. The location solutions generated have been adopted by MaineDOT for future implementations, attesting to the model’s practicality and signifying an important advancement for more effective management of road weather conditions.

Background: Toddlers are one of the age groups that are prone to nutritional problems. One of the nutritional problems that often occurs in toddlers is stunting. Stunting is a chronic malnutriyion in toddlers that causes children to be too short of children of the same age.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between the level of maternal knowledge about protein intake with the incidence of stunting in toddlers in the Lingsar Health Center work area.

Method: The method used in this study is a type descriptive analytic observational research with a cross sectional approach. The population in this study was all stunted toddlers aged 24-59 months in Batu Mekar village, totaling 153 children. The sampling technique in this study was simple random sampling technique with a sample of 65 respondents based on the calculation results using the Lemeshow formula. Data analysis using spearman correlation test.

Research Results: The results showed that there was a relationship between the mother’s level of knowledge about protein intake (p = 0.001), there was no relationship between maternal education (p = 0.671), there was no relationship between maternal work (p = 0.060), there was no relationship between maternal age (p = 0.509) and the incidence of stunting in the Lingsar Health Center work area.

Conclusion: The conclusion in this study is that there is a significant relationship between the level of mother’s knowledge about protein intake and the incidence of stunting in toddlers in the Lingsar Health Center work area.

THE INDEPENDENT STATE COMMISSION IN INDONESIA: A COMPARATIVE REVIEW OF ITS INSTITUTIONAL ASPECTS
Authors: Ramadani Rizki , Arifin Muhammad Ya'rif 
Published: November 2023

The establishment of the Independent State Commission and other non-structural institutions was one of the alterations in the structure of the Indonesian constitution during the transition era and after the 1945 Constitution was amended. It is not uncommon for these Commissions to face criticism and controversy due to their autonomous authority and independence from the major branches of power. The objective of this research is to examine and describe the primary traits of such an institution in order for it to be recognized as an Independent State Commission by comparing it to the concept and best practices in the United States. As well as to justify the legitimacy of its position within the Indonesian constitutional framework. As a doctrinal legal research, this study uses a conceptual and legal comparative approach to secondary data presented in a descriptive-analytical manner. The findings revealed that the independent State Commission's two key characteristics were its independence from the executive organs and its autonomous-regulatory power. In terms of legal position, the classical trias politica perspectives need be modified as the Independent State Commission is now viewed as a new branch of government under a new separation of powers framework.
