Abstract

Introduction:
Renal transplantation is the most cost-effective yet least utilized therapy for end-stage renal disease. Postoperative complications are associated with significant morbidity and mortality. We studied perioperative surgical complications and their associated factors in renal transplantation during hospital stay.

Materials and Methods:
This is a single-center observational study of 333 patients who underwent transplantation (88 females [26.4%] and 245 males [73.6%]) from 2012 to 2024. One hundred and five (31.5%) and 228 (68.5%) were deceased and live donors, respectively. The association of pre- and posttransplant patient variables with Clavien–Dindo (CD) grade, re-exploration (RE), and graft nephrectomy (GN) was determined. We analyzed the effect of anatomical variation on complications.

Results:
The most common complications were urinary tract infection (20%), surgical site infection (SSI) (13%), and perinephric hematoma (8.4%). Anatomical variation had no association with cold ischemia time (CIT), blood loss, perinephric hematoma, and postoperative intervention. Significant associations were reported between CD with duration of dialysis, body mass index (BMI), CIT, deceased donor, SSI, and urine leak; RE with urine leak, hematuria, and percutaneous intervention; GN with SSI and pneumonia.

Conclusions:
Early identification and treatment of surgical complications are critical for patients. Higher severity of complications was found in patients with higher BMI, longer duration of dialysis, and prolonged CIT. RE was more common in patients who underwent percutaneous interventions or had urine leaks. BMI should be optimized before patients are planned for transplant; SSI and pneumonia should be avoided as it has significant morbidity.

Abstract
Vertigo is defined as the sensation of self-motion when no self-motion is occurring or the sensation of distorted self-motion during an otherwise normal head movement. Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is recognized as the primary cause of peripheral vertigo, contributing to more than fifty percent of total cases. A 60-year-old female patient approached Shalakya Tantra outpatient department (OPD) with complaints of a spinning sensation of oneself while getting up from bed in the right lateral position. On brief history and clinical examination, the subject was diagnosed with benign paroxysmal positional vertigo. Ayurvedic treatments along with Brandt–Daroff exercises were planned based on underlying doshas and clinical features. The patient showed considerable improvement subjectively after 1 month of medical intervention. Lack of evidence-based studies in Ayurveda on BPPV makes it hard to correlate to any contemporary disease in particular. Based on certain clinical presentations, BPPV can be nearly compared to Bhrama explained in Ayurveda. Acharyas have described Bhrama as a sensation of spinning and falling to the ground, which may be correlated with giddiness. This case report highlights the analysis and management of BPPV in Ayurveda with a case report.

Abstract: The emergence of modern financial technologies (fintech) is revolutionizing financial markets worldwide, introducing transformational changes that create both opportunities and challenges for traditional financial institutions. This paper examines the impact of fintech on the financial market in Georgia, an emerging economy with a distinctive regulatory and competitive environment.
The main purpose of this study is to analyze the impact of fintech on traditional banks in Georgia through a multi-faceted approach that addresses three main hypotheses. First, it examines whether traditional banks in Georgia are successfully adapting to the evolving financial environment by integrating modern financial technologies. Second, it assesses whether the existing regulatory framework in Georgia is effective in managing the risks associated with fintech innovations. Third, it evaluates whether increased competition from fintech firms contributes to the financial stability of traditional banks.
To achieve these goals, the study employs a robust mixed-methods approach that integrates both qualitative and quantitative methodologies. The qualitative component consists of unstructured interviews with key stakeholders, including representatives from traditional financial institutions and the National Bank of Georgia. These interviews provide in-depth insights into how banks are managing the implementation of fintech and how regulators are addressing the challenges they encounter.
This study makes several important contributions to the field. It offers original insights into the impact of fintech on traditional banks within the specific context of Georgia, a perspective not currently explored in the existing literature. The research findings provide valuable recommendations to policymakers and regulators in Georgia and other emerging markets, guiding the improvement of regulatory practices and supporting the successful integration of fintech. Additionally, by examining the unique challenges and opportunities facing emerging markets, this study enriches the global understanding of the effects of fintech on financial services, thereby enhancing the broader discourse on financial technology and its implications.

Do land models miss key soil hydrological processes controlling soil moisture memory?

Published: January 2025

Abstract. Soil moisture memory (SMM), which refers to how long a perturbation in soil moisture (SM) can last, is critical for understanding climatic, hydrological, and ecosystem interactions. Most land surface models (LSMs) tend to overestimate surface soil moisture and its persistency (or SMM), sustaining spuriously large soil surface evaporation during dry-down periods. We attempt to answer a question: do LSMs miss or misrepresent key hydrological processes controlling SMM? We use a version of Noah-MP with advanced hydrology that explicitly represents preferential flow and surface ponding and provides optional schemes of soil hydraulics. We test the effects of these processes, which are generally missed by most LSMs in SMM. We compare SMMs computed from various Noah-MP configurations against that derived from the Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) L3 soil moisture and in situ measurements from the International Soil Moisture Network (ISMN) from the years 2015 to 2019 over the contiguous United States (CONUS). The results suggest that (1) soil hydraulics plays a dominant role and the Van Genuchten hydraulic scheme reduces the overestimation of the long-term surface SMM produced by the Brooks–Corey scheme, which is commonly used in LSMs; (2) explicitly representing surface ponding enhances SMM for both the surface layer and the root zone; and (3) representing preferential flow improves the overall representation of soil moisture dynamics. The combination of these missing schemes can significantly improve the long-term memory overestimation and short-term memory underestimation issues in LSMs. We suggest that LSMs for use in seasonal-to-subseasonal climate prediction should, at least, adopt the Van Genuchten hydraulic scheme.
Separating snow and ice melt using water stable isotopes and glacio-hydrological modelling: towards improving the application of isotope analyses in highly glacierized catchments

Published: January 2025

Abstract. Glacio-hydrological models are widely used for estimating current and future streamflow across spatial scales, utilizing various data sources, notably observed streamflow and snow and/or ice accumulation, as well as ablation observations. However, modelling highly glacierized catchments poses challenges due to data scarcity and complex spatio-temporal meteorological conditions, leading to input data uncertainty and potential misestimation of the contribution of snow and ice melt to streamflow. Some studies propose using water stable isotopes to estimate shares of rain, snow and ice in streamflow, yet the choice of the isotopic composition of these water sources significantly impacts results. This study presents a combined isotopic and glacio-hydrological model which provides catchment-integrated snow and ice melt isotopic compositions during an entire melting season. These isotopic compositions are then used to estimate the seasonal shares of snow and ice melt in streamflow for the Otemma catchment in the Swiss Alps. The model leverages available meteorological station data (air temperature, precipitation and radiation), ice mass balance data and snow cover maps to model and automatically calibrate the catchment-scale snow and ice mass balances. The isotopic module, building on prior work by Ala-Aho et al. (2017a), estimates seasonal isotopic compositions of precipitation, snow and ice. The runoff generation and transfer module relies on a combined routing and reservoir approach and is calibrated based on measured streamflow and isotopic data. Results reveal challenges in distinguishing snow and ice melt isotopic values in summer, rendering a reliable separation between the two sources difficult. The modelling of catchment-wide snowmelt isotopic composition proves challenging due to uncertainties in precipitation lapse rate, mass exchanges during rain-on-snow events and snow fractionation. The study delves into these processes and their impact on model results and suggests guidelines for future models. It concludes that water stable isotopes alone cannot reliably separate snow and ice melt shares for temperate alpine glaciers. However, combining isotopes with glacio-hydrological modelling enhances hydrologic parameter identifiability, in particular those related to runoff transfer to the stream, and improves mass balance estimations.
Pressurised water flow in fractured permafrost rocks revealed by borehole temperature, electrical resistivity tomography, and piezometric pressure

Abstract. Rock slope instabilities and failures from permafrost rocks are among the most significant alpine hazards in a changing climate and represent considerable threats to high-alpine infrastructure. While permafrost degradation is commonly attributed to rising air temperature and slow thermal heat propagation in rocks, the profound impact of water flow in bedrock permafrost on warming processes is increasingly recognised. However, quantifying the role of water flow remains challenging, primarily due to the complexities associated with direct observation and the transient nature of water dynamics in rock slope systems. To overcome the lack of a quantitative assessment, we combine datasets of rock temperature measured in two deep boreholes (2016–2023), with electrical resistivity tomography measurements repeated monthly in 2013 and 2023; the site-specific temperature–resistivity relation determined in the laboratory with samples from the study area; and borehole piezometer data. Field measurements were carried out at the permafrost-affected north flank of the Kitzsteinhorn (Hohe Tauern range, Austria), which is characterised by significant water outflow from open fractures during the melt season. Borehole temperature data demonstrate a seasonal maximum of the permafrost active layer of 4–5 m. They further show abrupt temperature changes (∼ 0.2–0.7 °C) at 2, 3, and 5 m depth during periods with enhanced water flow and temperature regime changes between 2016–2019 and 2020–2022 at 10 and 15 m depth, which cannot be explained solely by conductive heat transfer. Electrical resistivity measurements repeated monthly reveal a massive decrease in resistivity from June to July and the initiation of a low-resistivity (< 4 kΩ m) zone in the lower part of the rock slope in June, gradually expanding to higher rock slope sections until September. We hypothesise that the reduction in electrical resistivity of more than an order of magnitude, which coincides with abrupt changes in borehole temperature and periods of high water heads up to 11.8 m, provides certain evidence of snowmelt water infiltration into the rockwall becoming pressurised within a widespread fracture network during the thawing season. This study shows that, in addition to slow thermal heat conduction, permafrost rocks are subjected to sudden push-like warming events and long-lasting rock temperature regime changes, favouring accelerated bottom-up permafrost degradation and contributing to the build-up of hydrostatic pressure, potentially leading to slope instability.

Экзистенциальная вертикаль: у-топическое измерение современного образовательного пространства человека
Authors: Гулеватая А.Н. 
Published: January 2025

Статья посвящена философскому осмыслению образования с точки зрения антропо-онтологической методологии как способа бытия человека, актуализируется ценность такой оптики для современной ситуации. Целью статьи является выявление ключевых концептов для прояснения содержания экзистенциально-антропологической вертикали образовательного пространства. В статье современный человек концептуализируется как ускользающий от о-предел-ивания и тоскующий по образованию своего Я, но в то же время уязвимый, хрупкий и готовый отказаться от риска образования себя и своего непрерывного становления как человека. Указывается на влияние «терапевтического поворота» в трансформации образа человека на социальных горизонталях образования: взгляд человека замыкается на самом себе и человек теряет способность трансцендировать. Утверждается, что в противоположность этому экзистенциальная вертикаль образовательного пространства – это у-топическое пространство, где человек «сбывается» как человек, это вертикаль онтологического риска, негарантированности, неопределённости. Выход в «перпендикулярное» измерение образовательного пространства для современного человека становится возможен через «мужество вопреки», которое опирается на «метафизику сердца» в противовес «управляемому сердцу». Содержательно экзистенциальная вертикаль образовательного пространства оказывается связана с духовной антропологией: сегодня это то, что противостоит постмодернистскому «расщеплению» образования и человека в нём.
The article is devoted to the philosophical reflection of education in anthropo-ontological methodology as a way of being; the value of such a perspective for the contemporary situation in education is actualised. The aim of the article is to identify key concepts to clarify the content of the existential-anthropological vertical dimension of the educational space. The article conceptualises the modern human being as slipping away from being determined and yearning for the education of his/her self, but at the same time vulnerable, fragile and ready to give up the risk of educating himself / herself and his/her continuous formation as a human being. The impact of the “therapeutic turn” for the human being image transformation on the social horizons of education is pointed out: the perspective of the human being is locked in the self and the human being loses the ability to transcend. It is argued that in contrast to this, the existential vertical of the educational space is a u-topic space where a person is “realized” as a person, it is a vertical of ontological risk, non-guaranteedness, non-determinacy. The way out into the “perpendicular” dimension of the educational space for the modern man becomes possible through the “courage in spite of”, which is based on the “metaphysics of heart” as opposed to the “managed heart”. In content, the existential vertical of the educational space turns out to be connected with spiritual anthropology: today it is what opposes the postmodern “splitting” of education and the human being.
