Authors: Chang Ruth , Smith Anne , Kent Peter , O’Sullivan Peter , Hancock Mark , Campbell Amity 
Published: December 2023

OBJECTIVE: To investigate forward bending range of motion (ROM) and velocity in patients with low back pain who were receiving Cognitive Functional Therapy and determine (1) the amount and timing of change occurring at the trunk and pelvis (global angles), and lumbar spine (intersensor angle), and (2a) differences in changes between participants with and without sensor biofeedback, and (2b) participants with and without baseline movement limitation. DESIGN: Observational study. METHODS: Two hundred sixty-one participants attended Cognitive Functional Therapy treatment and wore sensors at the T12 and S2 spine levels while performing forward bending. Measures included ROM and velocity from both sensors, and the intersensor angle. Regression models estimated changes over time. Time-group interactions tested participants who were subgrouped by treatment and baseline movement. RESULTS: During the 90-day evaluation period, most change occurred in the first 21 days. Changes in ROM observed at T12 (3.3°, 95% CI: 1.0°, 5.5°; P = .001) and S2 (3.3°, 95% CI: 1.2°, 5.4°; P = .002) were similar. Intersensor angle remained similar (0.2°, 95% CI: −2.0°, −1.6°; P = .81). Velocity measured at T12 and S2, and the intersensor angle increased 8.5°/s (95% CI: 6.7°/s, 10.3°/s; P<.0001), 5.3°/s (95% CI: 4.0°/s, 6.5°/s; P<.0001), and 3.4°/s (95% CI: 2.4°/s, 4.5°/s; P<.0001), respectively, for 0 to 21 days. There were minimal differences in participants who received biofeedback. Larger increases occurred in participants with restricted ROM and slower velocity at baseline. CONCLUSION: During 0 to 21 days, we observed changes at the trunk and pelvis (especially in people with reduced ROM), and velocity changes across all measures (especially in people with baseline movement limitations). Biofeedback did not augment the changes. When targeting forward bending in people with low back pain, clinicians should monitor changes in velocity and global ROM.

The Politicization of the Pulpit in Seventeenth-century England: Thanksgiving Sermons after the Duke of Monmouth’s Rebellion
Authors: Álvarez Recio Leticia 
Published: December 2023

In the early 1530s, the sermon was a basic tool to teach the new Anglican doctrine to people of all social ranks. Later in the century, it would be further employed by moderate and radical ministers to debate ecclesiastical, domestic and foreign policies. This trend continued well into the seventeenth century, when sermons increasingly influenced English public opinion and encouraged actions for and against the status quo.
The present paper studies how this genre participated in contemporary political controversies. The date selected is 26 July 1685, the day officially appointed for a public thanksgiving for James II’s victory over the Duke of Monmouth’s insurrection. The sermons considered support the doctrine of the divine right of kings endorsed by James, and attempt to discredit each of the arguments for civil disobedience employed by the rebels. Nevertheless, some degree of anxiety permeates these texts, since they attempt to justify the need to obey a legitimate monarch, who, despite being the head of the Anglican Church, openly practised the Catholic faith.

Analyzing the use and occupation of land in semi-arid regions is extremely important, as it contributes to the identification of practices and management regarding natural resources. The objective of this study was to analyze the impacts of the São Francisco River Integration Project (PISF) and whether its implementation alters the dynamics of land use and occupation in the study areas. The analysis was performed through Remote Sensing, where three images of the Landsat 8 and 9 satellites were obtained for the years 2014, 2018 and 2022. In 2014, it was possible to observe a greater water availability in the municipality of Serrita going from 0.06% to 0.31% in 2022, in contrast, there was a reduction of the Caatinga that went from 51.42% in 2014 to 48.98% in 2022, the areas of exposed soil also showed reduction, in 2014 it was 4.60% and in 2022 4.25%, Agriculture and pasture areas increased, from 43.91% in 2014 to 46.44% in 2022. The municipality of Cedro presented a pattern of use similar to that of Serrita, where there was a greater water availability, in 2014 it was 0.22% and then went to 0.30% in 2022, the use corresponding to Caatinga presented an oscillation between the years analyzed, in 2014 it was 19.26% and in 2022 it was 20.59%, there was a reduction in the areas of exposed soil, In 2014 it was 58.34% and in 2022 it was 44.11%, while the areas of agriculture and pasture increased considerably, in 2014 it was 22.22% going to 34.97% in 2022. The results show that the pattern of land use and occupation of these municipalities has changed over the years and the PISF has contributed to such changes.

The aim of this in vitro study was to analyze the effect of a blue light (λ = 420 – 480 nm), a single-walled carbon nanotube -OH, and their combination on the viability (cytotoxic or enhancement) of the skin cancer A431 cell line after 24 hours of incubation periods. Cell culture is the process of removing cells from living tissues and growing them in a laboratory setting until they are ready to be tested using photodynamic therapy and nanoparticles, which is known as direct irradiation in vitro. Skin cell plates (A431 cell line) grown in culture medium supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) were irradiated with blue light, treated with the nanoparticle, and treated with the combination of them, and plates were incubated for 24 hours. In all the experiments, a crystal violet assay was used to determine the viability of the cells, and the intensity of color was measured by a plate reader. The cells were kept at 37°C. Blue light results showed a considerable decrease (p≤0.001) at 240 seconds after 24 hours of incubation time in viability percent; nanoparticle results showed a considerable decrease in the viability percent (p≤0.001) for all concentrations; the most effective concentration was 200 µg/ml; and the combination results showed a significant decrease in cell viability percent (p≤0.001) for all concentrations as compared with the control group. The single-walled carbon nanotube- OH with a concentration of 200 µg/ml produced the greatest results when combined with a light exposure period of 240 seconds.

Authors: Myslavskyi V. 
Published: December 2023

The scientific relevance. The formation and development of the newsreels and documentary films in Ukraine in the 1920s remains one of the least researched pages in the history and development of Ukrainian cinema. That is why the relevance of this research lies, mainly, in filling a significant gap in the history of Ukrainian cinema. A detailed study of newsreels and documentary films production will allow to reveal trends in the development of the Ukrainian film industry in the 1920s in the field of documentary films.
The purpose of the article is to study the specifics of the VUFKU policy on strengthening the material and technical base of Ukrainian film production during the 1920s, to study and analyze the history of the formation and development of the production of newsreels and documentary films in the specified period.
The methodology of analysis of the problem consists in using, first of all, the historical-systemic approach, which provides an opportunity to understand the dynamics of the development of newsreels and documentary films at a specific historical stage. The problem-chronological approach made it possible to distinguish by year the main directions of the VUFKU activity in the development of newsreels and documentary cinema within the defined chronological framework. The historical-systemic approach made it possible to understand the dynamics of the development of Ukrainian cinematography in the field of documentary cinema as a system at a specific historical stage.
The results of the research are that the article examines the prerequisites that served as an impetus for the emergence of a special technical basis for shooting newsreels. The way of development and establishment of newsreels production is considered. Genre and thematic directions of newsreels, types of newsreels, as well as the circumstances that led to the development of the production of newsreels and documentary films are analyzed. The composition, features and functions of the elements of the Ukrainian organizational and creative model of cinematography have been established.
The scientific novelty lies in the fact that the article for the first time, on the basis of a complex analysis, researches the process of transformation of structural elements of Ukrainian cinematography in order to establish the release of newsreels and documentary films.
The practical significance of the article lies in the fact that the results of the study will contribute to the filling of the “white spots” in the history of Ukrainian cinematography, in particular, the establishment of newsreels and documentary cinema as a component of Ukrainian cinematography, which contributes to the creation of a holistic concept of the development of domestic cinema, further understanding of the film production process of the past and present. The materials of the article can be used in further scientific and theoretical researches, during the creation of training manuals and separate sections of the history of Ukrainian cinema.

Published: December 2023

Background: The relationship between alpha 2-macroglobulin (A2M) gene and Alzheimer’s disease (AD) has been widely studied across populations; however, the results are inconsistent. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the association of A2M gene with AD by the application of meta-analysis. Methods: Relevant studies were identified by comprehensive searches. The quality of each study was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. Allele and genotype frequencies were extracted from each of the included studies. Odds ratio (OR) with corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CI) was calculated using a random-effects or fixed-effects model. The Cochran Q statistic and I2 metric was used to evaluate heterogeneity, and Egger’s test and Funnel plot were used to assess publication bias. Results: A total of 62 studies were identified and included in the current meta-analysis. The G allele of rs226380 reduced AD risk (OR: 0.64, 95% CI: 0.47–0.87, pFDR = 0.012), but carrier with the TT genotype was more likely to develop AD in Asian populations (OR: 1.56, 95% CI: 1.12–2.19, pFDR = 0.0135). The V allele of the A2M-I/V (rs669) increased susceptibility to AD in female population (OR, 95% CI: 2.15, 1.38–3.35, pFDR = 0.0024); however, the II genotype could be a protective factor in these populations (OR, 95% CI: 0.43, 0.26–0.73, pFDR = 0.003). Sensitivity analyses confirmed the reliability of the original results. Conclusions: Existing evidence indicate that A2M single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) may be associated with AD risk in sub-populations. Future studies with larger sample sizes will be necessary to confirm the results.

Published: December 2023

Background: The nephrotoxicity profile of contemporary first-line regimens for treatment of metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) has not been systematically studied in published clinical trials. Objective: To assess the rates of nephrotoxic events of contemporary first-line regimens for treatment of mRCC in comparison to vascular endothelial growth factor tyrosine kinase inhibitor (VEGF-TKI) mono-therapy. Methods: We performed a systematic search of the literature looking for randomized clinical trials that contemplated National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) recommended first-line regimens for treating mRCC in which the control arm was a VEGF-TKI. Selected trials could either include an experimental arm of immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) plus VEGF-TKI combination or ICI-ICI combination. Nephrotoxic events were defined as proteinuria, hypertension, blood creatinine increase, acute kidney failure or nephritis, which were all described separately. Results: Five studies satisfied our inclusion criteria. Combination of ICI with VEGF-TKI showed a statistically significant higher degree of proteinuria compared to VEGF-TKI alone. There was no statistically significant difference in rates of hypertension between ICI-TKI and VEGF-TKI alone, but VEGF-TKI alone was statistically significantly more associated with hypertension than immunotherapy alone. Other renal toxicities, such as an increase in creatinine, acute kidney injury (AKI) and nephritis, were uncommon and not consistently reported in each trial. Conclusions: Contemporary regimens for first-line treatment of mRCC are associated with a higher grade of proteinuria than VEGF-TKI alone, while VEGF-TKI is more associated with hypertension than an ICI-ICI combination. Description of many renal toxicities across the studies reported have been diverse and a standardized definition across clinical trials would be helpful to reliably interpret the data regarding nephrotoxicity in the setting of treatment of renal cell carcinoma.

Published: December 2023

The paper presents the results of a study of the load-bearing capacity of a beam damaged during hostilities, which was reinforced with steel-reinforced concrete. A beam with 20 percent damage in the compression zone is considered. Before concreting, a foam insert was installed in the area of the planned damage, the shape and dimensions of which corresponded to the planned damage. After the concrete was set to 70% grade strength, the liner was pulled out, and the resulting cavity was filled with a 2% mixture of fiber concrete. This is one of the beam strengthening options in a comprehensive damaged beam testing program, which involves the study of a series of beams with different types of damage, varying damage zone (tensile and compression) and its magnitude, geometry and method of strengthening. The authors developed a special stand for testing. The load-bearing capacity of the damaged beam reinforced with fiber concrete was 80.6 kN, or 89.5% of the load-bearing capacity of the intact beam. Cracking started at the 4th load stage, when the load value was 16.1 kN, or 20% of the bearing capacity of the damaged beam. At the same time, 10 cracks formed in the zone of pure bending, the opening width of which did not exceed half the price of the microscope division, which is 0.005 mm. At the next eight stages of loading (up to 48.4kN), no new cracks were observed, and the width of the opening of all the ones that had previously formed doubled - it reached 0.01mm. At the 12th, 13th and 19th stages of loading, 4 more cracks appeared. The maximum final crack opening width was 1.2 mm. Up to a load of 68.5kN, which is 85% of the load-bearing capacity of the damaged beam, the reinforced concrete liner works with the beam almost as a unit, and then the compressed zone of concrete squeezes out the liner. It is claimed that the strengthening of a beam with 20% damage in the compressed zone in the manner considered in the work allows to achieve its bearing capacity, which is almost 90% of the bearing capacity of an undamaged beam.
DEMOCRATIC VALUES AND CHRISTIANITY
Authors: Yevdokimova Tetyana , Sharypin Andrey 
Published: December 2023

The system of democratic rights and freedoms is most often associated with secularization, the liberation of society and the state from the influence of the church, but the valuable basis of democracy, fundamental freedoms, including freedom of conscience and religion, have their foundation in religion, in particular, Christianity. The main directions of modern democracy emphasize the spiritual basis of their ideologies. The famous German philosopher and sociologist Y. Habermas emphasizes that such ideas as the protection of human rights, democracy, and freedom come from the Jewish ethics of justice and the Christian ethics of love. At the same time, secularization has not completely coped with the task of legitimizing the social order and needs help from religious spirituality, which has become clear in the post-secular era of modernity.
On the other hand, the realization of the rights and freedoms of believers is ensured by the legal basis of democracy. The state of democracy in modern society is also connected with the representation of systems of independent associations of sovereign individuals and freely established connections between them - civil society. Church communities and various social and church associations have a significant presence in this society. The problems of civil society formation are echoed in the doctrine of subsidiarity and solidarity of Christian social teaching. Liberalism, liberal democracy, is primarily a question of freedom. The impetus for freedom of religion, as proven by many researchers, came from Protestant sects. M. Weber determined that religion can act as one of the factors of social dynamics, and that the Reformation and Protestantism contributed to the awakening of the spirit of entrepreneurship and laid the foundations of a market economy.
The article is devoted the influence of Christianity on the formation of the value foundations of democracy, the formation of a system of democratic rights, freedoms and civil society. The theoretical justification of Christian and liberal democracy is analyzed, as well as the influence of the established norms and freedoms of a democratic society on the emergence of Christian social teaching, changing the image of the church in the modern world, and on the spiritual definition of citizens as a whole.
