Authors: Humeniuk Alla 
Published: December 2023

The main goal of fundraising is to attract funds for the implementation of a project or idea that can help solve a certain problem or satisfy a certain need. In addition, fundraising can be an effective tool for popularizing the project and attracting attention to its goals. Purpose: The main aim of the article is to study the theoretical and applied aspects of fundraising and its main instruments. Design / Methodology / Approach: Theoretical methods such as analysis, synthesis, comparison, and generalisation were used for the theoretical and practical study of fundraising and its tools, retrospective analysis of fundraising capitals, and development of recommendations. Empirical methods of surveys and observations were used to study the current situation with fundraising in the centres, analyse activities and needs, and interpret the results. Findings: The research delved into the correlation between an organization’s strategic objectives and the imperative need to procure resources. It examined the foundational theories underpinning fundraising tools while assessing their efficacy. Subsequently, a fundamental fundraising strategy was devised to gather funds for project undertakings. The study revealed that to ensure sustainable development, initiative groups need to be provided with the necessary tools and information resources. This facilitates a transition from disorganized management practices toward establishing a framework for long-term planning. This necessitates maintaining a steady financial income and possessing diversified tools for their acquisition. Originality / Value: The effective execution of a fundraising strategy will pave the way for emerging centres to embark on sustainable development trajectories, enabling a concentrated effort towards accomplishing strategic objectives and missions. This successful implementation will provide consistent backing for youth initiatives, fostering their continued advancement and further growth. Moreover, it will empower other small-scale centres to embrace and tailor this experience to suit their unique needs and projects. Practical Meaning: Successful implementation of a fundraising strategy will help new branches embark on a path of sustainable development and allow them to focus on achieving their strategic goals and mission; ensure stable support for youth initiatives, their further development and additional growth of the branch, and enable other small branches to adopt this experience and adapt it to their needs and projects. Further Research: Developing cooperation with Ukrainian and international intergovernmental organisations and foundations will help achieve strategic goals and ensure additional growth in fundraising activities.
The Graphic Legacy of Oleksandr Bogomazov: General Overview and Artist’s Notes in Some Thoughts on Graphics
Authors: Kashuba-Volvach Olena 
Published: December 2023

The study presents a general overview of the graphic work and the publication of theoretical notes about the graphics of the Ukrainian artist O. K. Bohomazov. There are features of graphic works in different periods of creativity, which are noted, there are stylistic features of works of different periods,which are analyzed. Graphic works give an opportunity to trace all stylistic changes and identify reference points in the evolution of the artist’s work. Sketches allow to trace the stages of work on the creation of picturesque easel paintings.
The graphic heritage of O. Bohomazov is really diverse. There are characteristic symbolist motifs and plots, which can be traced in the early graphics. Magazine graphics of 1908-1912 provide samples of the Art Nouveau style. In the works of this period, the line gives the picture maximum decorativeness. Fascination with color linocut gave the artist the opportunity to experiment with changing the psychological state of objects depending on the color change. At the turn of 1912-1913, a radical stylistic change takes place in O. Bohomazov’s work: the generalized decorativeness and linear rhythms of the modern style give way to the dynamics of futurism. While working at the Kyiv Art Institute in 1922–1930, Oleksandr Bohomazov taught painting and drawing as formal and technical disciplines. He taught in his educational programs the physical and psychological properties of colours and their interaction. The graphics of the late period of the artist’s work acquired a neo-realistic objectivity in the spirit of "New objectivity" (Die Neue Sachlichkeit).

Published: December 2023

Water contamination is a pressing global concern, especially regarding the presence of nitrate ions. This research focuses on addressing this issue by developing an effective adsorbent for removing nitrate ions from aqueous solutions. two adsorbents Chitosan-Zeolite-Zirconium (Cs-Ze-Zr composite beads and Chitosan-Bentonite-Zirconium Cs-Bn-Zr composite beads were prepared. The study involved continuous experimentation using a fixed bed column with varying bed heights (1.5 and 3 cm) and inlet flow rates (1 and 3 ml/min). The results showed that the breakthrough time increased with higher bed heights for both Cs-Ze-Zr and Cs-Bn-Zr composite beads. Conversely, an increase in flow rate led to a decrease in breakthrough time. Notably, Cs-Ze-Zr and Cs-Bn-Zr demonstrated impressive removal efficiencies, reaching 87.23% and 92.02%, respectively. The optimal conditions for peak performance were found to be an inlet flow rate of 1 ml/min, a bed height of 3 cm, and initial concentrations of 400 mg/L and 600 mg/L for Cs-Ze-Zr and Cs-Bn-Zr, respectively.

Published: December 2023

OBJECTIVE
The objective of this retrospective study was to establish a novel system for evaluating collateralization of the external carotid artery in patients with moyamoya disease (MMD) following direct and indirect revascularization surgeries.

METHODS
The authors conducted a retrospective analysis of 456 patients diagnosed with MMD who underwent direct and indirect revascularization procedures at Beijing Tiantan Hospital, Capital Medical University, between January 2015 and May 2023. Using a newly proposed digital subtraction angiography (DSA)–based evaluation system, the authors assessed collateralization angiogenesis objectively and in a standardized manner.

RESULTS
The authors’ findings indicated that there was no significant difference in collateralization angiogenesis between patients undergoing direct or indirect cerebral revascularization (p = 0.702). However, after cerebral revascularization, patients with ischemic MMD exhibited significantly higher collateralization angiogenesis compared with those with hemorrhagic MMD (p = 0.007). Children with MMD demonstrated higher angiogenesis levels than adults (p < 0.001), but subgroup analysis showed age-specific variations. In adults, collateralization angiogenesis was significantly greater in those with ischemic MMD (p = 0.006), whereas in children, no significant difference was noted between ischemic and hemorrhagic MMD (p = 0.962). Furthermore, regardless of MMD type, direct and indirect revascularization methods yielded similar collateralization angiogenesis (p = 0.962 and p = 0.963, respectively). Importantly, the Matsushima grading system revealed significant differences in angiogenesis in patients with ischemic MMD (p < 0.001).

CONCLUSIONS
The newly introduced DSA-based evaluation system offers an objective and standardized method for assessing collateralization angiogenesis in MMD. This study supports the efficacy of both direct and indirect revascularization surgical procedures and highlights distinct pathophysiological processes of ischemic and hemorrhagic disease subtypes. These findings contribute to a better understanding of surgical outcomes and aid in the selection of appropriate treatment strategies for patients with MMD.

Published: December 2023

OBJECTIVE
Wound healing problems after neurosurgical procedures can lead to serious complications and may require complex revision or even reconstructive surgery. Therefore, optimal surgical management is critical to prevent complications. In a recent experimental study in animals, the authors demonstrated the superiority of a zigzag skin incision over a straight incision pattern. In this study, the authors applied these findings to clinical situations of neurosurgical patients with an indication for a coronal skin incision. The aim of this study was to objectively assess the functional and cosmetic outcomes between straight coronal and zigzag incisions in neurosurgical procedures.

METHODS
This prospective, randomized, controlled, single-center trial included adult patients undergoing frontal craniotomy for cerebrovascular or tumor pathologies. The study primarily included patients who were not expected to receive adjuvant radiation or chemotherapy. The zigzag incision was standardized using a template. A common straight skin incision behind the hairline served as a control. Complication rates, functional (2-point discrimination, width of the wound, Vancouver Scar Scale [VSS], and Patient and Observer Scar Assessment Scale [POSAS]), and cosmetic outcomes were assessed postoperatively and at 3-month follow-up evaluations. Additionally, all patients answered a wound-specific questionnaire and the SF-36 questionnaire.

RESULTS
Twenty-eight patients were randomized to the zigzag and 29 to the straight incision groups. Indications for surgery were cerebrovascular in 16 cases and tumors in 41 cases. Risk factors for wound healing were equally distributed in both groups. One patient in the zigzag group with poor postoperative compliance required surgery for secondary wound healing problems. Overall, the width of the scar was significantly smaller (p = 0.001) and local 2-point discrimination better (p = 0.005) in the zigzag group. Scores on the VSS (p = 0.003) and POSAS (p = 0.005) proved to be significantly superior in the zigzag group as well.

CONCLUSIONS
A zigzag coronal skin incision pattern leads to significantly superior functional and cosmetic outcome scores. For certain patient groups, these findings may prove to be practice-changing.

Published: December 2023

OBJECTIVE
Recovery of abducens nerve palsy (ANP) after endoscopic endonasal skull base surgery (ESBS) has been shown to be potentially predicted by postoperative ophthalmological examination. Triggered electromyography (t-EMG) and free-run electromyography (f-EMG) activity provide an intraoperative assessment of abducens nerve function, but associations with long-term ANP outcomes have not been explored. The objective of this study was to describe intraoperative abducens EMG characteristics and determine whether these electrophysiological profiles are associated with immediately postoperative and long-term ANP outcomes after ESBS.

METHODS
The authors conducted a 5-year (2011–2016) retrospective case-control study of patients who underwent ESBS in whom the abducens nerve was stimulated (t-EMG). Electrophysiological metrics were compared between patients with a new postoperative ANP (cases) and those without ANP (controls). Pathologies included chordoma, pituitary adenoma, meningioma, cholesterol granuloma, and chondrosarcoma. Electrophysiological data included the presence of abnormal f-EMG activity, t-EMG stimulation voltage, stimulation threshold, evoked compound muscle action potential (CMAP) amplitude, onset latency, peak latency, and CMAP duration at various stages of the dissection. Controls were selected such that pathologies were similarly distributed between cases and controls.

RESULTS
Fifty-six patients were included, 26 with new postoperative ANP and 30 controls without ANP. Abnormal f-EMG activity (28.0% vs 3.3%, p = 0.02) and lack of response to stimulation (27% vs 0%, p = 0.006) were more frequent in patients with immediately postoperative ANP than in controls. Patients with immediately postoperative ANP also had a lower median CMAP amplitude (35.0 vs 71.2 μV, p = 0.02) and longer onset latency (5.2 vs 2.8 msec, p = 0.04). Comparing patients with transient versus persistent ANP on follow-up, those with persistent ANP tended to have a lower CMAP amplitude (12.8 vs 57 μV, p = 0.07) and higher likelihood of not responding to stimulation at the end of the case (45.5% vs 7.1%, p = 0.06). Abnormal f-EMG was not associated with long-term ANP outcomes.

CONCLUSIONS
The presence of f-EMG activity, lack of CMAP response to stimulation, decreased CMAP amplitude, and increased CMAP onset latency were associated with immediately postoperative ANP. Long-term ANP outcomes may be associated with t-EMG parameters, including whether the nerve is able to be stimulated once identified and CMAP amplitude. Future prospective studies may be designed to standardize abducens nerve electrophysiological monitoring protocols to further refine operative and prognostic utility.

Published: December 2023

OBJECTIVE
Giant aneurysms in pediatric patients are vascular lesions that can cause significant neurological morbidity and mortality. Their rarity has precluded large cohort studies to inform their management. The objective of this study was to understand the clinical course and outcomes of giant aneurysms in pediatric patients.

METHODS
The authors performed a multi-institutional cohort study of cases from Boston Children’s Hospital and Barrow Neurological Institute, as well as a systematic review and pooled cohort analysis of previously reported cases using descriptive statistics and multivariate regression modeling.

RESULTS
Fifteen patients were included in the multi-institutional cohort, and an additional 88 patients were included from 14 series, yielding 103 patients within the pooled cohort. Among the pooled cohort, the most common aneurysm locations were in the middle cerebral artery (36%), internal carotid artery (27%), vertebral artery (11%), and vertebrobasilar junction (8%). Within 69 cases containing radiographic data in the analysis, 38% of aneurysms were saccular. Twenty-eight cases presented with aneurysm rupture (28%), including 0% of cavernous carotid aneurysms, 26% of other anterior circulation aneurysms, and 44% of posterior circulation aneurysms (p = 0.003). In multivariate analysis, posterior circulation location (OR 2.66, 95% CI 1.03–6.86) and younger age (OR 0.90 per year, 95% CI 0.81–1.00) were associated with aneurysm rupture presentation. Most cases were treated (97%) rather than observed (3%). The mortality rate was 3% for unruptured aneurysms and 18% for ruptured aneurysms. A favorable neurological outcome occurred in 80% of unruptured aneurysm cases and 54% of ruptured cases. In multivariate analysis, unruptured aneurysm presentation (OR 3.74, 95% CI 1.24–11.29) and endovascular treatment modality (OR 5.05, 95% CI 1.56–16.29) were associated with a favorable outcome.

CONCLUSIONS
Giant aneurysms are rare entities in pediatric patients that are unlikely to be discovered incidentally and usually merit treatment. Most patients survive with good neurological outcome, even in ruptured aneurysm cases. These data reveal that posterior circulation location and younger age are risk factors that correlate with an increased risk of aneurysm rupture.

Published: December 2023

OBJECTIVE
Seasonality, or the specific point in time within a season in which the injury occurs, may have an impact on the recovery following sport-related concussions (SRCs). In a cohort of high school athletes across multiple sports, the authors sought to investigate the impact of seasonality on 1) concussion frequency, 2) acute symptom presentation (initial Post-Concussion Symptom Scale [PCSS] score), and 3) recovery outcomes, including the time to return to learn (RTL), symptom resolution (SR), and return to play (RTP).

METHODS
A retrospective, single-institution, cohort study was conducted with adolescent athletes aged 14–19 years who sustained an SRC between November 2017 and April 2022 and presented to a multidisciplinary specialty concussion clinic. The time from first practice to the end of the regular season was evenly trichotomized into early, middle, and late season. Teams that participated in the playoffs were included in a subanalysis. One-way ANOVA and independent t-tests were used to compare PCSS scores, RTL, SR, and RTP across seasonality. Univariable and multivariable regressions were used to determine predictors for recovery, defined as total days from initial visit to each outcome.

RESULTS
Of the 1504 eligible athletes, 620 high school athletes met inclusion criteria; 491 (79.2%) sustained a concussion during the regular season with 73 (14.9%), 136 (27.7%), and 282 (57.4%) concussions occurring in the early, middle, and late seasons, respectively. No differences were seen for initial PCSS score, RTL, SR, or RTP across early-, middle-, and late-season concussions. The initial PCSS score was significantly higher for playoff compared with regular-season concussions (playoffs: 33.4 ± 27.5; regular season: 23.3 ± 22.8; t = −1.979, p = 0.048). A subanalysis of playoff concussions (n = 24) compared with regular-season concussions showed that concussion in the playoffs was associated with a higher initial PCSS score in univariable (β = 0.093, p = 0.048) and multivariable (β = 0.112, p = 0.014) analyses.

CONCLUSIONS
The majority of concussions occurred during the late-season period. No difference in acute symptoms or recovery outcomes was seen when comparing the three regular season time points. Playoff concussions were associated with significantly increased symptom scores compared with nonplayoff concussions.
Register in Czech: Designing an MDA-based experimental study
Authors: Marklová Anna , Buchmüller Olga , Demian Christoph , Meyer Roland , Szucsich Luka 
Published: December 2023

There are no conventionalized ways to investigate the results of multidimensional analysis (MDA) from the perceptual perspective in an experimental setting. An MDA of the Czech corpus Koditex by Cvrček et al. (2020) established eight dimensions of variation based on 122 linguistic features. The first two dimensions, which explain the largest proportion of shared variance, are labeled as 1. dynamic (+)/static (-) and 2. spontaneous (+)/prepared (-). In our study, we investigated if some situational contexts of language use evoke stronger associations with the poles of the two dimensions than others. Furthermore, we aimed to explore the impact of the mode of language use and the properties of the interlocutor on the ratings.
Czech native speakers (n=107) rated various situational contexts on 7-point Likert-like scales representing the MDA-based dimensions. The items were balanced in the formality of the interlocutor’s name (Mr. or Mrs. in connection to surname/first name), the interlocutor´s gender, and the mode of language use (spoken/written). The statistical analysis uncovered a significant effect of the formality of the interlocutor's name and the mode of language use on the ratings. Using first names and spoken mode resulted in ratings closer to the positive poles of the dimensions. The comparison of individual items showed that some situations, mainly those representing the negative poles of the dimensions, are rated more consistently than others. The results of our study offer insight into how native speakers evaluate situations of language use on the scales of preparedness, subjectivity, and interactivity.
