BackgroundThe correlation between visual impairment and Müller-Lyer illusion is not yet elucidated. This study aimed to explore the connection between visual status, age, and the intensity of Müller-Lyer illusion in congenitally visually impaired and visually healthy children aged 4–17 years. Additionally, the developmental trends were compared.MethodsThis cross-sectional study included 125 visually impaired children (age: 10.59 ± 4.05 years), among them, 53 had utilized low vision aids (LVAs) and 133 healthy controls (age: 11.33 ± 3.39 years). The participants were presented with Müller-Lyer illusion stimuli via binocular and engaged in a two-alternative forced choice task to quantify the illusion intensity. Pertinent factors including age, gender, residence, binocular distant best-corrected visual acuity and LVAs usage history, were assessed.ResultsThe visually impaired group exhibited significantly elevated illusion intensity compared to the healthy group (9.74 ± 2.89% vs. 5.42 ± 3.81%, p &lt; 0.001), and visually impaired participants who had used LVAs exhibited significantly lower intensity compared to those had not (9.13 ± 3.00% vs. 10.19 ± 2.74%, p = 0.043). Multivariate generalized estimation equations revealed that visual impairment [odds ratio (OR) = 2.75, p &lt; 0.001] and age (OR = 0.60, p &lt; 0.001) were associated with illusion intensity in all participants, while history of LVAs usage (OR = 0.49, p = 0.045) and age (OR = 0.61, p &lt; 0.001) were negatively correlated in visually impaired group. A significantly negative correlation was found between illusion intensity and age 4–17 years in the subgroups of visually impaired who had used LVAs (Y = −0.54X + 15.06, R2 = 0.56), who had not used (Y = −0.49X + 15.24, R2 = 0.51), and healthy controls (Y = −0.50X + 11.18, R2 = 0.21); all p-values were &lt; 0.001.ConclusionChildren aged 4–17 years afflicted with congenital visual impairment exhibited a heightened intensity of Müller-Lyer illusion compared to visually normal counterparts, LVAs usage experience could reduce this higher intensity. The developmental trajectory of illusion intensity declined consistently with age across all three groups. The abnormal visual experiences during early-life may adversely affect integration in congenitally visually impaired children, and LVAs could facilitate this functional development.

ObjectiveEvidence suggests that high-quality health education and effective communication within the framework of social support hold significant potential in preventing postpartum depression. Yet, developing trustworthy and engaging health education and communication materials requires extensive expertise and substantial resources. In light of this, we propose an innovative approach that involves leveraging natural language processing (NLP) to classify publicly accessible lay articles based on their relevance and subject matter to pregnancy and mental health.Materials and methodsWe manually reviewed online lay articles from credible and medically validated sources to create a gold standard corpus. This manual review process categorized the articles based on their pertinence to pregnancy and related subtopics. To streamline and expand the classification procedure for relevance and topics, we employed advanced NLP models such as Random Forest, Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers (BERT), and Generative Pre-trained Transformer model (gpt-3.5-turbo).ResultsThe gold standard corpus included 392 pregnancy-related articles. Our manual review process categorized the reading materials according to lifestyle factors associated with postpartum depression: diet, exercise, mental health, and health literacy. A BERT-based model performed best (F1 = 0.974) in an end-to-end classification of relevance and topics. In a two-step approach, given articles already classified as pregnancy-related, gpt-3.5-turbo performed best (F1 = 0.972) in classifying the above topics.DiscussionUtilizing NLP, we can guide patients to high-quality lay reading materials as cost-effective, readily available health education and communication sources. This approach allows us to scale the information delivery specifically to individuals, enhancing the relevance and impact of the materials provided.

BackgroundLiving with chronic pain (CP) often implies major lifestyle changes, including modifications of daily routines and work. Surprisingly, few validated and effective interventions specifically target functional outcomes in this population. Redesign your Everyday Activities and Lifestyle with Occupational Therapy [REVEAL(OT)] is a lifestyle-oriented intervention led by occupational therapists that directly targets the daily functional challenges of living with CP. The intervention was initially developed and studied as an add-on to standard treatment delivered by Danish multidisciplinary specialized pain clinics. Adapting, implementing, and evaluating REVEAL(OT) within the Canadian healthcare system will contribute to broadening the scope of treatments offered in specialized pain clinics that do not yet include occupational therapy.ObjectiveThe proposed study aims to define and refine REVEAL(OT)/CA with partners (authors of original intervention, people with lived experience, clinicians, managers).MethodsThis participatory action research will use a multi-method design and follow the ORBIT model for developing behavioral treatments for chronic diseases. A process of co-construction with partners and an advisory committee will take place in two Montreal specialized pain clinics. It consists of two related work packages (WPs). In WP1, a first series of focus groups with partners (n = 86) and workshops with the advisory committee will be conducted to co-develop the hypothetical pathway describing intervention components and their potential mechanisms of action on targeted outcomes, as well as the first version of the adapted intervention manual. WP2 will co-refine REVEAL(OT)/CA by exploring its acceptability, feasibility and mechanisms of action through intervention deliveries (at least twice in each of two specialized pain clinics; n ≥ 60 patients) and focus groups and/or individual interviews with participating patients and partners. At the end of this study, the intervention manual will be generated both in French and English.DiscussionThis study will set the stage for subsequent implementation and effectiveness assessment projects and be an important step towards the deployment of interventions aiming to improve engagement in meaningful daily activities among adults living with CP.RegistrationOSF Registries, osf.io/8gksa.

Published: November 2023

IntroductionBedwetting, also known as enuresis, is the second most common chronic health problem among children and it affects their everyday life negatively. A first-line treatment option is the enuresis alarm. This method entails the child being awoken by a detector and alarm unit upon urination at night, thereby changing their arousal mechanisms and potentially curing them after 6–8 weeks of consistent therapy. The enuresis alarm treatment has a reported success rate above 50% but requires significant effort from the families involved. Additionally, there is a challenge in identifying early indicators of successful treatment.MethodsThe alarm treatment has been further developed by the company Pjama AB, which, in addition to the alarm, offers a mobile application where users provides data about the patient and information regarding each night throughout the treatment. The wet and dry nights are recorded, in addition to the actual timing of the bedwetting incidents. We used the machine learning model random forest to see if predictions of treatment outcome could be made in early stages of treatment and shorten the evaluation time based on data from 611 patients. This was carried out by using and analyzing data from patients who had used the Pjama application. The patients were split into training and testing groups to evaluate to what extent the algorithm could make predictions every day about whether a patient’s treatment would be successful, partially successful, or unsuccessful.ResultsThe results show that a large number of patient outcomes can already be predicted accurately in the early stages of treatment.DiscussionAccurate predictions enable the correct measures to be taken earlier in the treatment, including increasing motivation, adding pharmacotherapy, or terminating treatment. This has the potential to shorten the treatment in general, and to detect patients who will not respond to the treatment early on, which in turn can improve the lives of children suffering from enuresis. The results show great potential in making the treatment of enuresis more efficient.

BackgroundTemporary intravascular shunts (TIVS) may allow quick revascularization and distal reperfusion, reducing the ischemic time (IT) when an arterial injury occurs. Furthermore, TIVS temporarily restore peripheral perfusion during the treatment of concomitant life-threatening injuries or when patients require evacuation to a higher level of care. Notwithstanding, there are still disputes regarding the use of TIVS, in view of the paucity of evidence in terms of potential benefits and with regard to the anticoagulation during the procedure. The present study aimed to assess TIVS impact, safety, and timing on limb salvage in complex civilian vascular traumas.Patients and methodsData were retrieved from the prospective database of our department, which included all patients hospitalized with a vascular injury of the extremities between January 2006 and December 2022. Patients undergoing TIVS during vascular injury management were included in group A, and those who could not postpone immediate care for TIVS insertion were included in group B (control group). Data concerning the times required for extremity revascularization or other surgical procedures such as orthopedic interventions and the time of limb ischemia were compared between the two groups. A comparison of the postoperative course between the two groups was also performed.ResultsA total of 53 patients were included: group A (TIVS insertion, n = 31) and group B (control, n = 22). Revascularization time significantly differed (p = 0.002) between the two groups, which is lower in group A (4.17 ± 2.37 h vs. 5.81 ± 1.26 h). TIVS positively affected the probability of limb salvage (p = 0.02). At multivariate analysis, the factors independently associated with limb salvage were TIVS usage, the necessity of hyperbaric oxygen therapy, and the total IT. In group A, there were three deaths and one major amputation, and in group B, there were two deaths and four major amputations.ConclusionsThe use of TIVS minimizes revascularization time and improves limb salvage probability. A multidisciplinary approach is recommended, and correct surgical timing is key to ensure the best outcome.
Perioperative analgesic effects of an ultrasound-guided transversus abdominis plane block using bupivacaine in goats undergoing celiotomy

Published: November 2023

IntroductionNever has the anatomy, the procedure of the transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block, or the perioperative analgesic effects of a bupivacaine TAP block been described in goats.MethodsThis report details the relevant anatomy in a cadaveric study combined with the description/use of a TAP block in a controlled, randomized, prospective, blinded clinical study in which 20 goats with urolithiasis presenting for either ventral midline or paramedian celiotomy were enrolled. Anesthesia was induced with ketamine and midazolam and maintained with desflurane in oxygen. An ultrasound-guided TAP block was performed using 0.25% bupivacaine (4 sites, 0.4 mL/kg each site) (bupivacaine-TAP,n= 10) or equal volume of saline (control-TAP,n= 10). When indicated, urethral amputation was performed followed by celiotomy with cystotomy or tube cystostomy. Urethrotomy was performed if warranted. Intraoperatively, a 20% increase in mean arterial pressure (MAP), heart rate (HR) and/or respiratory frequency was treated with an increase in desflurane concentration of 0.5 Vol.%. Goats received ketamine boluses (0.2 mg/kg IV) when moving spontaneously. At 2, 12, and 24 h post-extubation, pain was scored with a descriptive scale. Data were analyzed with an analysis of variance (ANOVA) or the Wilcoxon signed-rank test, andP&lt; 0.05 was considered statistically significant.ResultsBupivacaine-TAP goats exhibited lower end-tidal desflurane concentration requirements (P= 0.03), lower pain scores at 2-h post-extubation (P= 0.02), shorter anesthetic recovery times (P= 0.03) and decreased HR and MAP during surgical stimulation. Goats receiving a bupivacaine TAP block experienced less intraoperative nociceptive input requiring less inhalant anesthetic leading to faster anesthetic recoveries and decreased postoperative pain.DiscussionUltrasound-guided TAP block is a simple technique to decrease anesthetic requirement while providing additional postoperative comfort in goats undergoing celiotomy.

Con base en esto, se concluyó que una gestión de cobranzas efectiva requiere de políticas firmes las cuales deben de cumplirse de manera estricta para un adecuado control de cartera, estas políticas deben establecerse considerando aspectos como una pormenorizada valoración para otorgamiento de crédito, condiciones de pago claras, seguimiento proactivo, políticas claras de cobranza en donde se establezcan las penalidades de cada caso, además, apoyados por el uso de la tecnología se deben considerar otras alternativas de financiamiento.
EXPERIENCE OF COMBAT STRESS BY MILITARY POPULATION OF UNITS AND THOSE WHO ARE IN HOSPITAL
Authors: Blinov O. 
Published: November 2023

The article examines the features of the experience of combat stress by participants and non-participants in hostilities of military units and those who underwent a course of treatment in a hospital. In total 244 service members were interviewed. Of these, 126 soldiers underwent treatment in hospital (97 of them were combatants with injuries), as well as 118 healthy service members of regular units (84 of them took part in hostilities). Diagnosis of combat stress was carried out by the author’s combat stress questionnaire (CSQB). The features of the manifestation of acute stress disorders and post-traumatic stress disorders are shown; resources of service members at the cognitive, affective, motivational, and behavioral levels; stress factors that directly affect the personality of the service members; stress factors that indirectly emotionally affect the personality of the service members; an integrated indicator of combat stress. It is proved that when conducting a comparative analysis of the levels of combat stress experiences among healthy service members of regular units and those who are in hospital, the higher levels of combat stress experience in those who are undergoing treatment in hospital. This applies to both the integrated indicator of combat stress and indicators of signs of acute and post-traumatic stress disorders, resources used, direct and indirect manifestations of emotional stress. Among the four subscales of the CSQB combat stress questionnaire, the highest level is the subscale of acute and post-traumatic stress disorder among combatants who are in hospital. The second place is taken by the values of the resource subscale. In third place is the subscale of the impact of stress factors of indirect emotional affect on the personality of service members who are being treated in hospital. In fourth place among the military participants and non-combatants is an indicator of direct emotional stress to the individual’s personality.
CONTROVERSIES OF ANTON MAKARENKO'S PROFESSIONAL SELF-ACTUALIZATION
Authors: Tkachenko A. 
Published: November 2023

This article is devoted to the general characteristics of the super-complex and rather multipolar personal professiogenesis of A. Makarenko. Particular attention is paid to the analysis of professional crisis aspects of the process: the complexity of motivational mechanisms of professional self-actualization of young A. Makarenko, the crisis of his professional self-determination, unrealized educational aspirations, opposition of talent and skill, professional readiness crisis, unfavorable social conditions and lack of professional freedom. It reveals the peculiarities of A. Makarenko's formal and informal educational activity, the complexity of the formation of motivational mechanisms of his personal and professional self-actualization, analyzes the manifestations of destructive factors of his professional activity. It concludes that the leading circumstance of A. Makarenko's professional self-actualization were many years of activity and self-improvement in the field, which did not meet the basic direction of his professional preferences. However, it was A. Makarenko's professional activity as a teacher-educator that determined the content of his further literary work, and the innovative essence, intensity and drama of this activity ensured his great success as a professional writer. A certain paradox of A. Makarenko's professional genesis is that the pedagogical profession, to which he devoted his life only due to objective circumstances, nevertheless became the sphere and condition of his ultimate professional self-actualization – both as an educator-practitioner and as a pedagogical thinker, as an educational manager, and as a writer. Giving these facts, we consider it necessary to emphasize that each of these professional roles of A. Makarenko in its development was not only an important motivating factor for all his other essences as a professional, but certainly generated new forms for expressing their perfection.

Abstract
This study aims to examine the effect of a companyâ€™s financial performance and detain in submitting a financial statement on investor reaction. This study also examines whether the delay in submitting financial statements mediates the effect of financial performance on investor reaction. In 2020, the IDX issued a policy of stimulus and relaxation in maintaining the stability of the capital market by extending the time for submitting annual financial reports for two months from the deadline. However, until the deadline for the extension, there are still many companies that have not submitted their financial reports. The research sample is companies that are late in submitting financial statements in 2020. This study uses Warp PLS and Sobel analysis tools. The result shows that financial performance positively affect the stock price. The financial performance has a negative effect on delays in submitting the financial statement. The delay in submitting a financial statement mediates the effect of financial performance on stock price but the mediation is not significant.
