Abstract
Background
Several methods have emerged to predict the occurrence of early volume overload (VO) in pediatric patients with chronic kidney disease undergoing regular hemodialysis (HD). Nevertheless, achieving an accurate assessment remains challenging. Consequently, this study aimed to identify VO in pediatric HD patients using lung ultrasound (LUS). Additionally, the study sought to investigate the relationship between various clinical parameters employed to detect VO and the ultrasonographic B-line score.

Methods
This prospective observational cohort study was conducted on 30 pediatric patients with end-stage renal disease undergoing a maintenance HD program for 4 months. The clinical evaluation of the fluid status of pediatric patients involved using LUS pre-, intra, and post-HD. The study included the dry weight (DW) and non-DW groups; within these groups, the B-line scores were evaluated pre-, intra, and post-HD sessions. Tabulations were conducted to document the variations in body weight and B-line scores during pre-, intra-, and post-dialytic periods.

Results
The results of the LUSs performed on the 30 pediatric patients pre-, intra, and post-HD revealed that the B-line scores significantly reduced post-HD in all pediatric patients with more significant reduction in non-dry weight group (p < 0.001). There was a positive relation between the total number of B-lines pre-HD and inter-dialytic weight gain, pre-dialytic blood pressure, and clinical fluid score (r = 0.811, p < 0.01; r = 0.59, p < 0.001; and r = 0.75, p < 0.001, respectively) and also post-dialysis. Eventually, dialytic weight loss exhibited a significant direct positive correlation to B-line score reduction (r = 0.891, p < 0.01).

Conclusions
LUS is an innovative, simple noninvasive bedside method that provides real-time evaluation of fluid volume alterations in pediatric HD patients with chronic conditions. LUS shows excellent potential as a viable approach for assessing DW and non-dry weight in pediatric HD patients.

Abstract
Background
Medical thoracoscopy is an essential tool in the evaluation of patients with pleural effusion who remain undiagnosed despite a thorough pleural fluid workup. Malignancy and tuberculosis are the two most common etiologies in such patients having completely different prognoses. Therefore, correct diagnosis is very important before starting treatment.
This study was planned to study the yield of rigid thoracoscopy in such patients and to observe its associated complications. Furthermore, the difference in the profile of patients with malignancy and tuberculosis was also evaluated.

Methods
This was a single-center, exploratory, observational study done between 1st May 2021 to 31st December 2022. Patients with undiagnosed exudative pleural effusion defined as exudative pleural effusions as per Light’s criteria with negative Gene X pert and twice negative pleural fluid cytology for malignancy, underwent rigid thoracoscopy for confirmation of their diagnosis.

Results
A total of 160 patients, who fulfilled our inclusion criteria, were included in our study. Male to female ratio was 1.25:1, with a mean age of 57.3 years. The most common etiology observed was malignancy, seen in 120 out of 160 patients (75%), followed by tuberculosis, which was seen in 27 (17%) patients. A final diagnosis could be made in 158 patients, giving a diagnostic yield of 98.8%. 11.8% showed procedure-related complications without any mortality.

Conclusion
Rigid medical thoracoscopy has a very high diagnostic yield with few complications. A significant proportion of patients with straw-colored effusion can present with malignancy and vice versa. A few with ADA above 40 were diagnosed as having malignancy. Therefore, tissue-based biopsy with thoracoscopy can be easily performed to make a correct diagnosis with huge future implications in such patients.
The structural stability of negative symptoms over time
Authors: Wolpe Noham , Fernandez-Egea Emilio 
Published: November 2023

Summary
Negative symptoms remain poorly understood and treated despite their huge impact on patients’ lives and clinical outcomes. This is partly because of ongoing debates about the clinical constructs underlying negative symptoms. A longitudinal analysis of the structure of negative symptoms presented in BJPsych Open reports striking temporal stability of symptom structure, which behaves as a few independent domains. This further underscores the need to address specific symptom domains when considering interventions or pathophysiology studies.

PURPOSE Performance status (PS) is a crucial assessment for research and clinical practice in lung cancer (LC), including its usage for the assessment of the suitability and toxicity of treatment or eligibility for clinical trials of patients with LC. These PS assessments are subjective and lead to substantial discrepancies between observers. To improve the objectivity of PS assessments, Electronic Activity Monitoring devices (EAMs) are increasingly used in oncology, but how these devices are used for PS assessments in LC is an issue that remains unclear. The goal of this study is to address the challenges and opportunities of the use of digital tools to support PS assessments in patients with LC. METHODS The literature review followed PRISMA-ScR methodology. Searches were performed in the ScienceDirect, PsycInfo, ACM, IEEE Xplore, and PubMed databases. Furthermore, a panel discussion was performed to address the clinical use cases. RESULTS Thirty-two publications were found. Most of the studies used wrist accelerometry–based wearables (59%) and monitored sleep activity (SA; 28%) or physical activity (PA; 72%). Critical findings include positive usefulness of the use of wearables to categorize moderate-to-vigorous/light PA, which was associated with better sleep and health. In addition, steps and time awake immobile were found to be associated with risk of hospitalization and survival. Use cases identified included the health assessment of patients and clinical research. CONCLUSION There are positive experiences in the use of EAM to complement PS assessment in LC. However, there is a need for adapting thresholds to the particularities of patients with LC, for example, differentiating moderate-to-vigorous and light. Moreover, developing methodologies combining PS assessments and the use of EAM adapted to clinical and research practice is needed.

Published: November 2023

Background
The majority of childhood blindness causes in low-income countries are treatable or avoidable. Parents or guardians are responsible for making decisions regarding a child’s eye care. Understanding parents’ awareness and perception of eye problems in crucial in helping to know parents’ eye care-seeking behavior.

Objective
To determine parental knowledge, attitudes and practice regarding child eye health.

Methods
Seven focus groups were carried out in Northwest Ethiopia on knowledge, attitude and practice of parents towards child eye health. Their responses were tape-recorded and later transcribed. A thematic phenomenological approach was used for the analysis.

Result
Seventy-one parents participated in the focus groups. Participants were aware of common eye problems like trachoma, trauma, and glaucoma. However, they were unaware of the causes and etiologies of childhood blindness. Participants perceived that eye problems could be treated with hygiene and food, and often held misconceptions about the cause of strabismus and utilization of wearing spectacles.

Conclusion
The study revealed that parents are often unaware of the causes and etiologies of common childhood eye diseases, which has downstream effects on health-seeking behavior. Health promotion efforts, potentially through mass and social media, could be helpful to raise awareness, coupled with training of health professionals at primary and secondary health facility levels.

Published: November 2023

Purpose
The feasibility of measuring the touristic ecosystem in European countries with a Mediterranean coast based on various parameters, including diversity, turnover, and the number of tourists, was investigated in this study. The data from the period between 2004 and 2020 were analyzed.

Methodology
A distribution analysis of annual tourist gains was conducted, and the distribution of incoming tourists across the countries was examined based on their area, using Atkinson, Theil, and Hoover inequality indices. Secondary data from the World Bank were utilized by the authors for the 13 countries studied. It was suggested by the authors that the Mediterranean region could be analyzed based on factors such as the length of the coast, the number and type of hotel beds, and the volume of coastal tourism. This study can be expressed as a mixed methodology supported by bibliometric analysis.

Findings
An overall improvement in the distribution of tourists was indicated by the results of the analysis, with the exception of a decline in 2016 and 2020, as confirmed by all three indices. The most significant decline in 2020 was shown by the Hoover Index.

Originality
This study is a significant contribution to the existing literature, as it is the first to analyze the distribution of tourists considering the Mediterranean Basin coast length and the number of tourists of the illustrated countries, using the Atkinson, Theil, and Hoover inequality indices. The study was deemed original and supported by bibliometric analysis. The results of this study have important managerial implications.

Abstract
The synthesis of cinnolines has found great interest due to their diverse biological and industrial potency. Yet, the reported synthetic protocols for their synthesis showed limitations that involve harsh reaction conditions such as strong acidic or basic medium, low reaction yields, and using expensive and high loading catalysts. The C–H functionalization has been recognized as intriguing synthetic approach for the synthesis of aromatic/heteroaromatic scaffolds over the past two decades. Here, we reported a novel metal-catalyzed free photocatalytic synthesis of polyfunctionally substituted cinnolines. When ethyl 1-aryl-5-cyano-4-methyl-6-oxo-1,6-dihydropyridazine-3-carboxylates and nitrostyrene derivatives are irradiated with white light (LED 30 W) in ethanol in the presence of piperidine (30 mol%) in open air for 8 h at room temperature, the corresponding polyfunctionally substituted cinnolines are obtained in excellent yields (90–95%) via C–H activation of pyridazine methyl group and nitrostyrene (–N═O) function. Several merits were achieved, which are as follows: (1) the reaction is metal-free; (2) the reaction proceeds with increasing energy efficiency; (3) diversity of functionally substituted cinnolines; (4) high EcoScale value, which reflects the greens of the reaction; and (5) ease handling either in conducting the reaction or in the isolation of products.
János Kornai on planning and disequilibrium: Theoretical dilemmas and solutions
Authors: Andreff Wladimir 
Published: November 2023

AbstractJános Kornai has achieved a wide-scope multifaceted theoretical analysis moving from Marx to Walras-Lange, then to post-Keynesian disequilibrium economics, and eventually, to Hayek and economic institutionalism. Such a travel is not without meeting dilemmas that Kornai has had to struggle with and opt to resolve them in some way. Such process is illustrated first with a planner's dilemma. On the one hand, Kornai has elaborated on – together with Tamás Lipták – a mathematically ‘super’ solution to finding the optimal plan through a two-level planning procedure. But once implemented the latter has appeared to be too slow, and Kornai has rejected Lange's ideas for Hayek's criticism against central planning. A second dilemma is about how to analyse a centrally-planned shortage (excess demand) economy in which those industries privileged in the planners' pecking order priorities were producing an excess supply of (useless) goods. Kornai did not find a solution in the current disequilibrium economics but, instead, in a ‘lax’ communist bureaucracy generating a soft budget constraint. The third dilemma is that Kornai's views about disequilibria have not converged with the Post-Keynesian disequilibrium models. The latter were unable to conceive a simultaneous excess demand and excess supply in a same market, due to their so-called shorter-side rule. Instead, Kornai has found a solution that fits with theorising the observed micro (or even infra-micro) disequilibria in a Debreu's book, some years after having published a hard criticism of neo-classical microeconomics. A final question is raised: is Kornai's theory a decisive contribution to the analysis of comparative economic systems – that no one denies – or has he added some value to a more general theory of economic disequilibrium?

Потреба в більш досконалих безпілотних системах (БС) підтримується тенденціями розвитку світового суспільства. Штучний інтелект (ШІ) відіграє важливу роль у підтримці необхідного рівня автономії БС. Розробники БС з підтримкою ШІ зосереджуються на створенні третього покоління ШІ, що відчуває (ШІВ), для автономних інтелектуальних БС (АІБС). Однією зі складових архітектури ШІВ є система когнітивного сприйняття, яка долає розрив між двома парадигмами «дані від датчиків» і «природні слова», що було і є основною проблемою для розгортання АІБС. У статті розглядається алгоритм, реалізований на базі моделі когнітивного сприйняття. Алгоритм виконує дистиляцію сенсу даних від датчиків шляхом обчислення внутрішнього сенсу слова на основі зовнішнього сенсу знань. Наведено формальні моделі подання зовнішнього сенсу знань, застосовуваних при дистиляції, алгоритм обробки, результати комп’ютерних і натурних експериментів, у яких як АІБС використаний колісний складський робот.

На сучасному транспортному ринку інтермодальні контейнерні перевезення відіграють важливу роль, забезпечуючи ефективне транспортування вантажів як на міжнародному, так і внутрішньому рівні. У цьому контексті використання залізничного транспорту на сухопутних ділянках перевезення набуває все більшої значущості завдяки більшій вантажопідйомності, енергоефективності та екологічності.Метою цього дослідження є удосконалення моделі управління процесами формування контейнерних поїздів і забезпечення їхньої своєчасної доставки на судно-контейнеровоз. Пропонується модель, що враховує особливості взаємодії різних учасників процесу разом із портовими терміналами, залізничними станціями та судновими операторами.Дослідження виявило, що ефективне управління процесом формування контейнерних поїздів відіграє важливу роль у забезпеченні своєчасної доставки вантажів. Особливу увагу приділено ймовірнісним складовим моделі, пов'язаним із процесом накопичення контейнерів і їхнього просування до порту. Модель дає змогу ефективно оптимізувати моменти завершення формування поїздів з урахуванням низки обмежень. Результати розрахунків і аналізу свідчать про недотримання оптимальних умов формування контейнерних поїздів, що з високою ймовірністю призведе до значних додаткових операційних витрат логістичних операторів в інтермодальних перевезеннях. Запропонована модель може слугувати основою для системи підтримки прийняття рішень (СППР) у сфері управління доставкою контейнерів до порту сухопутною частиною шляху під час використання контейнерних поїздів. Це дасть змогу підвищити надійність планування і покращити координацію процесів, забезпечуючи своєчасну доставку контейнерів на судно-контейнеровоз і підвищуючи ефективність інтермодальних перевезень.Загалом використання розробленої математичної моделі сприятиме підвищенню операційної ефективності та забезпеченню високої якості послуг, що є значущим фактором для портових операторів, логістичних компаній та інших учасників логістичного ланцюга.
