Hypercomplex Quaternions and Higher-Order Analysis of Spatial Kinematic Chains
Authors: Condurache Daniel , Cojocari Mihail , Popa Ionuţ 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
This paper introduces a novel computational method for analyzing the higher-order acceleration field of spatial kinematics chains. The method is based on vector and quaternionic calculus, as well as dual and multidual algebra. A closed-form coordinate-free solution generated by the morphism between the Lie group of rigid body displacements and the unit multidual quaternions is presented. Presented solution is used for higher-order kinematics investigation of lower-pair serial chains. Additionally, a general method for studying the vector field of arbitrary higher-order accelerations is discribed. The method utilizes the “automatic differentiation” feature of multidual and hyper-multidual functions to obtain the higher-order derivative of a rigid body pose without need in further differentiation of the body pose regarding time. Also is proved that all information regarding the properties of the distribution of higher-order accelerations is contained in the specified unit hyper-multidual quaternion.
Physical Principles in Revealing the Working Mechanisms of Brain. Part V
Authors: Mazilu Nicolae 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
Still after the right concept of universe, we extract from the Einstein-de Sitter debate presented previously the physical characteristics of a continuum charge background to serve for the description of brain. This time we settle for the cosmological metric of the universe, which appear to be well suited for the brain, and the content in events of a generic universe serving for the definition of events in the brain. The hologram is also defined as a general characteristic of a universe, in order to serve in describing the process of memory. The idea of coherence is used, in order to define the frequency in an invariant way.
Carers as mentors in inclusion: The case of Cyprus
Authors: Charalampous Constantia Adamos 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
Despite the progress in education in recent years, the marginalization of students identified as having special educational needs (SEN) persists. Students characterized as having SEN is one of the factors that could change the status quo and lead to greater inclusion. The current research project adopted a mixed methodology to investigate this possibility. The research was conducted in five secondary schools in Cyprus, and 138 people participated. As the research is now complete, we can conclude that carers of students characterized as having SEN can act as mentors of both SEN children and non-SEN childrens

Published: December 2023

AbstractRoad accidents have increased rapidly in recent years for a variety of reasons. Analyzing and visualizing road accidents through heatmaps can help improve policies for their prevention by informing about areas with a high-risk of road accidents.The purpose of this research is to build a model for the analysis and visualization of road accidents through heatmaps. Information about road accidents is extracted from the news of the main online media portals through scripts in the Python language and Web Scraping techniques. From the extraction of about 30,000 articles from news portals for one year, only 829 were selected in the end that provided information about road accidents.As a result, and contribution of this research, a corpus was built with the geographic coordinates of road accidents and on this data our model was applied for the analysis and visualization of high-risk areas of road accidents using heatmaps. The visualization of heatmaps was done through a Python script, where it was applied to the geographic coordinates of road accidents.

Authors: Haryati Yati , Kusyaeri Hamdani Kiki 
Published: December 2023

Efforts to increase soybean productivity are carried out in various ways, including improving cultivation technology and applying pest and disease control technologies for soybeans. In addition to chemical pesticides, pest and disease control can use botanical pesticides or biopesticides, including those made from clove oil. This study aimed to determine the effect of varieties and clove oil on the growth, production, and pest-disease resilience of soybean. The study was conducted at Majalengka Regency, West Java, Indonesia from April to July 2021. The research used a factorial randomized complete block design with four replications. The first factor was soybean genotypes: Dena 1, Dega 1, and Anjasmoro. The second factor was the concentration and interval of application of clove oil: control, 3 mL L-1 with an interval of 10 days, 3 mL L-1 with an interval of 15 days, 5 mL L-1 with an interval of 10 days, and 5 mL L-1 with an interval of 15 days. The results showed that the Dena 1 variety had the highest plant height, number of branches, number of pods per plant, and dry weight per plant. The Dega 1 variety produced the highest weight of plant dry mass, dry pod shell weight, and 100-grain. Anjasmoro variety had the highest root length and number of nodules per plant. The Anjasmoro was more resistant to leaf caterpillar attacks, while the Dena 1 was more resistant to leaf rust disease. Botanical pesticides derived from clove oil affected various aspects of soybean growth including plant height at 60 days after planting, weight of dry biomass, root length and number of root nodules per plant, dry pod shell weight, dry seed weight, and 100-grains weight.

Authors: Samantaray Subham , Natesan Prabhu , Rajasegaran Rajalakshmi , Gaur Girwar Singh , Dubashi Biswajit 
Published: December 2023

Objectives:
Chemotherapy-induced cognitive impairment is a gruesome outcome of chemotherapy among breast cancer survivors. Electroencephalogram (EEG) power measurement is a known sensitive neurophysiologic correlate of cancer treatment-related cognitive dysfunction. The objective of this study was to assess the changes in specific quantitative EEG markers of cognition among breast cancer patients before, immediately, and three months after chemotherapy.

Materials and Methods:
Twenty-three women planning to undergo adjuvant chemotherapy for breast cancer underwent EEG assessment before, immediately, and three months after chemotherapy. Repeated measures analysis of variance was used to analyse the data. Post hoc pairwise comparison was done with Bonferroni correction to determine the pair in which the difference existed.

Results:
A significant increase in resting state EEG total power was observed (P = 0.012) after chemotherapy in the frontal area. The relative alpha power (RAP) significantly decreased with chemotherapy (P = 0.039), with post hoc pairwise comparison with Bonferroni correction revealing the significant decline to be present immediately after chemotherapy (P = 0.036) only over the posterior channels. Furthermore, the alpha-to-theta ratio (ATR) over posterior areas decreased (P = 0.012) both after completion of chemotherapy (P = 0.039) as well as three months after chemotherapy (P = 0.048). However, similar changes were not observed over frontal areas.

Conclusion:
Chemotherapy induces enhanced frontal power with a coincidental decline in RAP and ATR in the posterior areas.
Intermittent hypoxia exposure at sea level improves functional capacity (6MWT) at high altitude
Authors: Newmei Masan Kambo , Reddy Maramreddy Prasanna Kumar , Dass Deepak , Singh Vivek , Naik Swarup , Bhaumik Gopinath 
Published: December 2023

Objectives:
Our primary objective is to observe whether acclimatisation is elicited by the intermittent hypoxic exposure (IHE) protocol. For this, we have utilised performance in a 6-min walk test (6MWT) as a tool to assess physiological responses to high altitude (HA) both in control and IHE-exposed groups, respectively.

Materials and Methods:
The study was a prospective cohort study conducted on Indian army volunteers (n = 57) and they were divided into two groups, a control group (CG) and an experimental group (EG). At the sea level, a baseline study was carried out on barometric pressure. IHE was performed at sea level in the normobaric hypoxia chamber (low fraction of inspired oxygen [FiO2], at normal barometric pressure, 740 mmHg), in which the FiO2 of the chamber was artificially decreased using O2-filtering membranes. The oxygen percentage was constantly maintained at 12%-13%. After recording the baseline, the subjects were exposed to a normobaric hypoxia chamber at 12%-13% FiO2 (altitude – equivalent to 4350 m Approx). Heart rate and blood pressure (BP) were recorded with a battery-operated portable BP monitor (OMRON) at both locations. A finger pulse oximeter probe was set on the right index finger to measure the resting oxygen saturation (SpO2) level (Model MU 300). Incidence of acute mountain sickness (AMS) was scored with the help of the standard Lake Louise questionnaire (LLS). Total LLS scores more than >3 (range 0–15) were considered AMS.

Results:
EG individuals that went through IHE performed better at 6MWT at Stage I (P = 0.03). EG also had better SpO2, levels as compared to CG (P = 0.00) at Stage II (P = 0.03). Furthermore, there was a significant difference in the Borg’s Scale between CG and EG. The Delta SpO2 of EG was better as compared to CG in all stages, albeit not significant (P = 0.07). There was a significant difference between IHE and CG groups, and CG was at an increased risk for lower SpO2 (8.00 [1.21–52.60], P = 0.03).

Conclusion:
The findings elucidate the benefits of IHE in rapid acclimatisation, and it contributed to better distance covered as shown by 6MWT as well and reduces hypoxic incidents in HA.
Two case reports of Glanzmann thrombocytopenia with intracranial hemorrhage and a review of the literature
Authors: Almesedin Ghaleb Shihadah , Alshmaily Hanan Odah , Alshammari Khalid Abdulkarim , Albalawi Reem Sultan 
Published: December 2023

Background:
Glanzmann’s thrombasthenia (GT) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by impaired platelet function. Symptoms range from mild to life-threatening bleeding. However, it is extremely rare for a patient to have intracranial bleeding. This study presents two cases of GT: one with a spontaneous epidural hematoma (EDH) and the other with a subarachnoid hemorrhage due to traumatic causes. The discussion that follows then derives relevant supporting insights through a review of the literature.

Case Description:
Case Report 1: A 9-year-old girl with a known case of GT presented to an emergency department with a severe headache but no other complaints or history of trauma. The physical examination was normal. Computed tomography (CT) head without contrast revealed multiple EDHs with no midline shift. She received factor VII, tranexamic acid, and platelets transfusion and was admitted to the intensive care unit to be managed conservatively. After a month, a CT head follow-up showed complete resolution of all hematomas. Case Report 2: A 20-year-old male with a known case of GT was brought to the hospital with a history of loss of consciousness for several minutes after a road traffic accident. He suffered from a headache on regaining consciousness and received analgesia. CT head showed diffuse subarachnoid hemorrhage. He was managed with factor VII, tranexamic acid, and platelets transfusion and was admitted to an intermediate care unit for close observation.

Conclusion:
In a GT patient with intracranial hemorrhage, conservative management with close clinical observation and platelet transfusion in combination with recombinant activated factor VII and/or antifibrinolytics can be safely conducted.

Published: December 2023

Background:
Chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH) is a condition characterized by the accumulation of fluid, blood, and blood breakdown products between the brain’s arachnoid and dura mater coverings. While steroids have been explored as a potential treatment option, their efficacy and safety remain uncertain. This meta-analysis and systematic review aimed to assess the impact of steroids on CSDH management, including mortality, recurrence, complications, and functional outcomes.

Methods:
We conducted a comprehensive literature search in major electronic databases up to June 2023, following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines and Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews and Interventions. Inclusion criteria encompassed adult patients with CSDH, the use of steroids as monotherapy or adjuvant therapy, and clearly defined outcomes. Randomized controlled trials and cohort studies meeting these criteria were included in the study.

Results:
The initial search yielded 4315 articles, with 12 studies meeting the inclusion criteria. Our findings indicate a non-significant trend toward reduced mortality with steroids in combination with standard care (Odds ratios [OR] = 0.66, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.20–2.18). However, substantial heterogeneity was observed (I2 = 70%). Sensitivity analysis, excluding influential studies, suggested a potential increased mortality risk associated with steroids (OR = 1.47, 95% CI 0.87–2.48). Steroids showed a possible benefit in reducing the recurrence of CSDH (OR = 0.58, 95% CI 0.20–1.67), but with significant heterogeneity (I2 = 89%). No clear advantage of steroids was observed in terms of functional outcomes at three months (modified Rankin scale scores). Furthermore, steroids were associated with a significantly higher incidence of adverse effects and complications (OR = 2.17, 95% CI 1.48–3.17).

Conclusion:
Steroids may have a potential role in reducing CSDH recurrence but do not appear to confer significant advantages in terms of mortality or functional outcomes. However, their use is associated with a higher risk of adverse effects and complications. Given the limitations of existing studies, further research is needed to refine the role of steroids in CSDH management, considering patient-specific factors and treatment protocols.
Delayed rupture of a large intracranial internal carotid artery aneurysm after flow diverter placement

Published: December 2023

Background:
Delayed rupture after flow diverter (FD) placement is a serious complication, and often it leads to death; however, the exact mechanism leading to the rupture remains unclear. Therefore, in this case, study, we report a case of delayed rupture after FD placement and discuss its causes.

Case Description:
This study presents the case of a 69-year-old female with multiple aneurysms who underwent FD placement with coil embolization for a large intracranial internal carotid artery aneurysm. Postoperatively, the patient had no significant symptoms, and angiography and magnetic resonance imaging revealed decreased intra-aneurysmal blood flow. However, on the 3rd postoperative day, she developed a sudden disturbance of consciousness. Computed tomography revealed a massive subarachnoid hemorrhage, diagnosed as a delayed rupture. We decided to withhold therapy due to her serious condition. Previous studies have suggested that hemodynamic mechanisms can cause delayed aneurysm rupture. Based on the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) of the aneurysm, we suggest that an increase in intra-aneurysmal pressure after FD placement may have caused the delayed rupture.

Conclusion:
Preoperative CFD analysis may help evaluate the risk of delayed rupture for large aneurysms with a high inflow from the parent vessel.

From Anxiety to Pride, From Anger to Joy: Emotions in Cuban Santería
Authors: Христофорова О.Б. 
Published: December 2023

Исследование эмоций в связи с фольклорными текстами и ритуальными практиками — важное направление современной фольклористики. Особый интерес это направление приобретает в тех случаях, когда культурные системы придают специальное значение эмоциональным состояниям и телесным ощущениям людей, считая их «божественными сообщениями», требующими расшифровки. Афро-кубинский синкретический культ сантерия (Рéгла де Óча-Ифá) — одна из таких символических систем, придающих особое значение эмоциям адептов. В статье на основе полевой работы автора на Кубе в 2013–2016 гг. исследуются эмоции в рамках сантерии. Рассмотрены эмоции в повседневной жизни адептов сантерии разных степеней посвящения и эмоции в контексте ритуалов и сценических представлений. Делается различие между эмоциями людей и конструируемыми эмоциями ориша — божеств сантерии. Эмоции в повседневной жизни рассмотрены как мотивы, моделирующие поступки людей; эмоции в ритуале и на сцене — как знаки присутствия ориша. Описаны способы, с помощью которых адепты сантерии примиряют культурный «список эмоций», эмоциональные шаблоны и разнообразие эмоциональных проявлений в ритуале. Использование семиотического подхода позволяет выделить основания для различий ритуального и сценического перформанса, роли в них эмоций и эмоциональных выражений. Статья подготовлена в рамках выполнения научно-исследовательской работы государственного задания РАНХиГС.
The study of emotions in connection with folklore texts and ritual practices is an essential trend in modern folkloristics. It is especially interesting when cultural systems attach special significance to people’s emotional states and bodily sensations, considering them as “divine messages” that require deciphering. The Afro-Cuban cult of Santeria (Regla de Ocha-Ifa) is one such symbolic system that gives special meaning to the emotions of its adepts. Based on the author’s fieldwork in Cuba from 2013 to 2016, this article explores emotions within Santeria. The author examines emotions in the daily life of followers of various degrees of initiation and their emotions in the context of rituals and stage performances. She distinguishes between their human emotions and the presumed emotions of the Orisha, the deities of Santeria. Emotions in everyday life may be seen as motives shaping people’s actions; emotions in ritual and on stage serve as signs of Orisha’s presence. The author describes how adherents of Santeria reconcile the universal “list of emotions” developed by ethologists with their own personal emotional patterns and those manifested in ritual. Using a semiotic approach highlights the distinction between ritual and performance as well as the role of emotions and emotional expressions in them. The article is a part of the RANEPA state assignment research programme.
Joy: Markers of Emotion in Mongolian Folklore
Authors: Комкова Е.В. 
Published: December 2023

Статья посвящена лексико-стилистическим маркерам эмоции «радость» в текстах монгольского фольклора, собранных Центром типологии и семиотики фольклора РГГУ в ходе экспедиций 2006–2008 гг. Анализируются количество и частота использования соответствующих слов-маркеров (эмонимов), коммуникативные ситуации их появления. Как выясняется, они встречаются сравнительно редко (вообще выражение в текстах положительных эмоций регистрируется реже отрицательных) — обычно в сказочных и поэтических жанрах, а также в сообщениях, имеющих установку на достоверность, чаще всего в «мужских» текстах. Зачастую понимание радости (как ситуативного переживания) абстрактно и сливается с пониманием счастья (как продолжительного состояния) — именно так радость представлена в финалах сказок или в текстах благопожеланий. Наконец, лексико-стилистические маркеры радости оказываются одними из наиболее удобных для перевода — обстоятельства их употребления, как и их сочетаемость с маркерами иных эмоциональных состояний, в монгольском и русском культурном дискурсе. оказываются достаточно схожими.
This article explores the lexical and stylistic markers of the emotion “joy” in Mongolian folklore texts collected by the Centre for Typological and Semiotic Folklore Studies of the Russian State University for the Humanities during expeditions from 2006 to 2008. The author analyzes the frequency and usage of corresponding emotive words (emotonyms) and the communicative situations in which they occur. It is found that these markers are relatively rare, with positive emotions generally expressed less frequently than negative ones. They are typically found in fairy tales, poetic genres, and messages with an attitude of authenticity, often in “male” texts. Joy is often understood as a situational experience that merges with the understanding of happiness as a lasting state, as seen in fairy tale endings or texts of good wishes. Joy is also a convenient lexical and stylistic marker for translation, as the circumstances of its use and its combination with markers of other emotional states are quite similar in Mongolian and Russian cultural discourse.
