The objective was to estimate the risk and predictors of intraoperative transition from a single-stent technique of correction of bifurcation lesions of the coronary arteries to a double-stent technique.METHODS AND MATHERIALS. The study included 49 patients (35 men – 71.4 % and 14 women – 28.6 %) with acute coronary syndrome, whose coronary angiography revealed non-stem bifurcation lesions of the coronary arteries. The patients were operated with single- (Provisional) and double- (Culotte and TAR) stent techniques. Three patients had two bifurcation lesions at once. Thus, 52 bifurcations were included in the study. The average age of patients was 62±8 years. The lateral branch was affected in 34.6 % of cases. A blood clot in the bifurcation area was visualized in 15.4 % of cases. The study is a prospective analytical one. Statistical data processing was carried out using the chi-square test. The statistically significant value was considered p<0.05.RESULTS. In Y-type bifurcation, kissing dilation was performed in 50% of cases, and stent implantation into the lateral branch - in 23.8% of cases (47.6% of cases where kissing dilation was performed). In T-type bifurcation, kissing dilation was required in 33.3% of cases, and the transition to double-stent technique was required in 11.1% of cases (33.3% of cases where kissing dilation was performed (p=0.610)). With the initially affected lateral branch, kissing dilation was required in 88.2 % of cases, and stenting of the lateral branch was required in 47.1 % of cases (53.3% of cases where kissing dilation was performed). With an intact lateral branch, kissing dilation was required in 26.5 % of cases, the second stent was needed in 8.8 % of cases (33.3% of cases where kissing dilation was performed (p<0.001)). In the presence of a blood clot in the bifurcation area, the need for kissing dilation appeared in 75% of cases, and the need for double-stent technique – in 12.5% of cases (20% of cases where kissing dilation was performed).CONCLUSIONS. When using the Provisional techniques, the kissing dilation was required in 47.1 % of cases. Expansion of the scope of surgical intervention to double-stent technique was required in 21.6 % of cases.

The OBJECTIVE was choose an informative, convenient and accessible in clinical practice index for assessing the level of endogenous intoxication associated with a bacterial infection.METHODS AND MATERIALS. In the groups of patients with surgical inflammatory bacterial diseases (104 people), with intracellular non-bacterial infection (254 people), and in healthy people (94 people), the degree of LII correlation according to Kalf-Kalif (as a "standard" of indices) was compared with more simple and easy-to-calculate indices: LII according to Ostrovsky, simplified LII according to Ostrovsky ¬ without taking into account plasma cells (sLII according to Ostrovsky), the blood leukocyte shift index according to Yabluchansky, the Harkavy index and the Krebs index.RESULTS. Within all groups of observations, the closest correlation with LII according to Kalf-Kalif was established for LII according to Ostrovsky, slightly less for LII according to Ostrovsky. The latter was chosen for further study due to the possibility of calculation based on the data of the 5diff automatic blood cell analyzer. Compared with the group of healthy people (1.34 (0.93; 1.59)) sLII according to Ostrovsky did not increase in the group of patients with intracellular non-bacterial infections (1.21 (0.82; 1.49)), moderately increased in subgroup of urological and gynecological patients with chronic local inflammatory processes (2.35 (1.49; 2.99)) and was many times higher in subgroups with acute inflammatory and destructive diseases of the abdominal organs (7.64 (2.05; 11.77 )), sepsis (8.58 (2.96; 13.29)) and septic shock (7.34 (4.07; 9.48)).CONCLUSION. The calculation of LII according to Ostrovsky or its simplified version without taking into account plasma cells (neutrophils + immature granulocytes)/(lymphocytes + monocytes + eosinophils + basophils) is appropriate and easily applicable in wide clinical practice for assessing a bacterial infection and the development vector of an infectious process.
Human intelligence for authors, reviewers and editors using artificial intelligence
Authors: Palacios Gómez Mauricio 
Published: December 2023

We call artificial intelligence any machine that processes information with some purpose, complying with the logical rules of Turing's computation described more than 70 years ago. These machines work with instructions called algorithms, a finite and well-defined sequence of information processing implemented by automata (computers) or any digital technology to optimize a process. (2) This means that the purpose of artificial intelligence is optimization.
Optimization is the ability to do or solve something in the most efficient way possible and, in the best case, using the least amount of resources. The intended optimization is programmed and preset by humans; therefore, these technologies are tools humans create for human purposes.
The optimization capability of artificial intelligence is staggering. It is estimated that using artificial intelligence will facilitate the achievement of 134 of the 169 goals agreed in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. However, in this evaluation, it was projected that it could negatively affect the progress of 59 goals of the same agreement, being social, economic, educational, legal and gender inequality, the phenomenon most affected by artificial intelligence.
This projection shows us that it is necessary to counterbalance the development and implementation of processes mediated by artificial intelligence, to maintain reflection and question the influence of these technological tools, and, above all, to be based on human intelligence. A definition of human intelligence in the data science and artificial intelligence environment would be a collection of contextual tacit knowledge about human values, responsibility, empathy, intuition, or care for another living being that algorithms cannot describe or execute.
Academic Resilience among Indonesian College Students during the COVID-19 Pandemic: The Role of Future Orientation and Peer Support
Authors: Kumalasari Dewi 
Published: December 2023

Introduction. Students in Indonesia are known to have a low level of academic resilience; both compared to other countries in Asia and around the world. Academic resilience is influenced by various factors, including internal and external factors. This study aimed to examine the contribution of future orientation (representing internal factor) and peer support (representing external factor) simultaneously towards academic resilience.
Method. This cross-sectional study conducted by online questionnaire, encompassed three measurement instruments: Academic Resilience Scale-Indonesian version (α =.89), Future Orientation Scale (α =.82), and Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (α =.71). A total of 303 undergraduate students were recruited for this study by accidental sampling method.
Results. Through multiple regression analysis, future orientation and peer support simultaneously contribute to academic resilience in Indonesian students (R2 = .46, F (2.300) = 129.415, p<.001). Regarding comparative effect, peer support contributed slightly more to academic resilience than future orientation. In addition, based on the t-test, there were significant differences in academic resilience between male and female students (t=-2.141, p=.033). Academic resilience was also significantly correlated with academic achievement as measured by GPA (r=.36, p<.001).
Discussion and Conclusion. This current study highlights that academic resilience was associated with future orientation (represent internal factor) and peer support (represent external factors (peer support) collectively. Furthermore, peer support had a slightly higher contribution towards academic resilience than future orientation. This finding can be served as a foundation for interventions to develop student academic resilience.
Behavioral practices as a marker of the socio-cultural portrait of students of the USSR State Labor Reserves (1940s-50s)
Authors: Razinkov Sergey Lvovich 
Published: December 2023

The creation of the USSR state labor reserves in 1940 was accompanied by the formation of a specific socio-cultural environment, which remains practically unexplored to this day.The purpose of the article is to determine the structure and composition of behavioral practices as an element of the official and informal portrait of students of the state labor reserves. The methodological basis of the research was the system of social actions by T. Parsons, the concepts of variability of everyday practices by A. Ludtke and the dichotomy "norm/anomaly" in Soviet everyday life by N.B. Lebina. The work used a synthesis of macro- and micro-approaches of historical research aimed at identifying behavioral practices of an individual, based on the analysis of various sources: legal acts, administrative and other official documents, personal documents. The results of the study are: 1) identification and classification of students' behavioral practices based on the structure of social action (on individual acts, procedures and strategies of behavior), on the content of activity, frequency of application and attitude to public institutions; 2) development and description of a structural and functional model of behavioral practice containing control and correction functions (on the example of the practice of non-attendance of classes by students); 3) identification and substantiation of the features of behavioral practices from the point of view of markers of the socio-cultural portrait of students of labor reserves (interconnectedness, dynamism, dependence on the type of educational institution). The results of the research can be used in the study of everyday life and socio-cultural portrait of students in the Soviet period.

Published: December 2023

The purpose of this article is to study the history of collecting and researching the folklore of the Bashkirs of the Russian Federation, which occupies an important place in the spiritual heritage of the people. In Bashkirology, a number of articles are devoted to the historiography of Bashkir folklore, there are observations on the collection and study of folklore of a particular region in review articles about materials collected during expeditions, but there is no special study on the history of the collection and study of folklore of the Bashkirs of the Russian Federation. The subject of this research is information about the collection and research of folklore of Bashkirs compactly living in different regions away from the mother ethnic group, various studies that mention the folklore of Bashkirs of a particular region, as well as field studies of modern folklorists in the studied regions. At the stage of data collection and initial evaluation of the material, the bibliographic method was used. The methodology of end-to-end research of essay literature, journals covering the time period of the XIX and the first quarter of the XXI century was used. The methodological basis of the article is the works of domestic, including Bashkir, researchers-predecessors in the field of the history of folklore studies. The novelty of the study lies in the fact that for the first time in one study, information was collected about the collection and study of folklore of Bashkirs compactly living in seven regions of the Russian Federation. The chronological sequence traces the history of the recording of Bashkir folklore outside the Republic of Bashkortostan. It is noted that the collection and study of Bashkir folklore acquires a relatively noticeable scope and in Soviet times becomes a matter of state from the case of individual enthusiasts-amateurs, put on a solid scientific basis; the great importance of academic expeditions is emphasized. The study showed that the richness of Bashkir folklore is distinguished by the Orenburg, Kurgan, Chelyabinsk regions, that the folklore of the Chelyabinsk Bashkirs turned out to be the most studied.
Comparing distributed versus massed practice on functional recovery and Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) in acute stroke subjects

Published: December 2023

Objectives:
Globally, stroke is known to be one of the major health problems, resulting in disability among an aging population. Rehabilitation is a process of re-learning of skills, lost due to brain injury. Many factors influence motor learning post neurological insult and practice is one of the key factors which influence relearning or reacquisition of lost motor skills. Practice can be varied concerning order (blocked or random), scheduling (massed or distributed), or whole and part practice. The study observed the effect of variations in practice schedules on motor and functional recovery.

Materials and Methods:
Thirty-two acute stroke subjects were recruited and equally divided into two groups (16 in massed and 16 in distributed). Both groups received an accelerated skill acquisition program (ASAP) for six sessions a week for 2 weeks. Pre- and post-outcome measures included stroke rehabilitation assessment of movement (STREAM) for motor recovery, modified Barthel index (MBI) for functional recovery, and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) for neuroplasticity.

Results:
The median scores of participants in the massed practice group before the intervention, of STREAM total, MBI, and BDNF were 23.5, 19, and 0.65, respectively, whereas post values of STREAM total, MBI, and BDNF were 40.5, 60.5, and 0.75, respectively. The median scores of the distributed practice group of the pre-STREAM total, MBI, and BDNF were 23.5, 6.5, and 0.70, respectively, whereas the post-STREAM total, MBI, and BDNF were 41, 45.5, and 0.80, respectively. P-value was reported to be <0.05 while comparing pre- and post-values of STREAM, MBI, and BDNF within both intervention groups. The median change scores of STREAM, MBI, and BDNF reported P ≥ 0.05 when compared between the groups.

Conclusion:
Both the groups had significant recovery post-intervention designed based on ASAP, about impairment mitigation, pursuing skilled movement leading to significant functional gains. Appropriate timing along with optimal dosage became an active ingredient in functional recovery in acute stroke subjects. The distributed practice might have added effect of spacing, resulting in easier learning and accuracy of skills. The study reveals that distributed practice can be part of regular clinical practice to enhance functional recovery in acute stroke rehabilitation.
The Russian Tradition of Publishing Illuminated Bibles
Authors: Puganova Ekaterina L. 
Published: December 2023

The article is devoted to the tradition of publishing engraved biblical albums in Russia (17th — early 20th centuries), made by Russian engravers after the prototypes of European engravings or after author’s drawings by graduates of the Russian Academy of Arts. Illustrated collections on the subjects of the Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testament based on drawings by Russian artists — A.E. Egorov, A.A. Agin, M.N. Koshelevskaya, V.S. Kryukov, V.D. Fartusov — are considered. The source material for the work were copies from large collections of graphic art: the isofond of the Russian State Library, the Museum of Christian Art “Church-Archaeological Study” of the Moscow Theological Academy and the Sergiev Posad State Historical and Art Museum-Reserve, which are first introduced by the author into the scientific turnover.At present, Western European illustrated Bibles are widely studied by specialists in various fields of scientific knowledge as a large-scale phenomenon of book culture. The ways of penetration and distribution of foreign editions in the Moscow state are studied; the search, accounting and description of copies in domestic library collections are carried out; marginalia on the pages of albums and captions to images are investigated; techniques, biographies of masters, stylistics of works and methods of copying foreign samples in Russian artistic practice are studied. At the same time, the tradition of publishing Russian illuminated Bibles, created by analogy with foreign ones, remains poorly studied.Pre-revolutionary catalogues of Russian illustrated editions contain descriptions of Bible albums of the first half of the 19th century, while the vast array of illustrated printed matter of the second half of the century has not yet been systematised and catalogued.The purpose of this study is to partially fill this lacuna, to restore the chronology of the appearance of the first domestic folio Bibles, and to present an overview of lithographed editions of pictures of the Sacred History of the Old and New Testament of the second half of the 19th century.

Published: December 2023

Medical co-assistants are at significant risk during the COVID-19 pandemic due to exposure to more substantial stressors, including handling patients, academic pressure, and reduced rest times. Moreover, their continuous exposure to disease during the COVID-19 pandemic places them in significant psychological distress. These challenges can potentially affect their subjective well-being. Effective stress management strategies are imperative to reduce susceptibility to adverse consequences. Resilience has been identified as a key protective factor against the detrimental impact of stress. A study involving 102 medical students who became co-assistants during the COVID-19 pandemic investigated the relationship between resilience, stress, and subjective well-being among medical co-assistants. The study found that resilience among medical co-assistants in Indonesia was negatively correlated with stress and negative affect, and positively correlated with life satisfaction, positive affect, and affective balance in subjective well-being. Resilience plays a crucial role in helping individuals recover from challenges and failures, viewing these setbacks as opportunities for growth and learning. This positive outlook contributes to increased positive affect and enhances their subjective well-being. Ultimately, this lowers their stress levels and reduces negative aspects that may impede their performance as medical co-assistants.

Published: December 2023

Background

West Nile virus (WNV), found in Berlin in birds since 2018 and humans since 2019, is a mosquito-borne virus that can manifest in humans as West Nile fever (WNF) or neuroinvasive disease (WNND). However, human WNV infections and associated disease are likely underdiagnosed.

Aim

We aimed to identify and genetically characterise WNV infections in humans and mosquitoes in Berlin.

Methods

We investigated acute WNV infection cases reported to the State Office for Health and Social Affairs Berlin in 2021 and analysed cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) samples from patients with encephalitis of unknown aetiology (n = 489) for the presence of WNV. Mosquitoes were trapped at identified potential exposure sites of cases and examined for WNV infection.

Results

West Nile virus was isolated and sequenced from a blood donor with WNF, a symptomatic patient with WNND and a WNND case retrospectively identified from testing CSF. All cases occurred in 2021 and had no history of travel 14 days prior to symptom onset (incubation period of the disease). We detected WNV in Culex pipiens mosquitoes sampled at the exposure site of one case in 2021, and in 2022. Genome analyses revealed a monophyletic Berlin-specific virus clade in which two enzootic mosquito-associated variants can be delineated based on tree topology and presence of single nucleotide variants. Both variants have highly identical counterparts in human cases indicating local acquisition of infection.

Conclusion

Our study provides evidence that autochthonous WNV lineage 2 infections occurred in Berlin and the virus has established an endemic maintenance cycle.

Abstract
Freedom without Heteronomy? Autonomy from the very Beginning? The Discomfort with Upbringing in Discourses on Education, Participation, and Children’s Rights
On the basis of educational theories on the relationship between autonomy and heteronomy as well as on the legitimacy of guardianship, discourses are problematized in which a strong discomfort with upbringing is expressed. The attempt is made to show that by avoiding the concept of upbringing, the general rejection of generational power structures, and the central idea of the autonomous child, fundamental pedagogical problems are lost sight of.
