Introduction Vascular surgery is a recognised surgical subspecialty covering an array of circulatory conditions predominately affecting geriatric and diabetic patients. As such, a wide breadth of clinicians will see patients with vascular pathologies, but it is unclear how detailed their knowledge base is. Key to this is the education of medical students, which has been poorly documented during undergraduate training in the UK. VENUM aimed to establish students' perceptions of vascular surgery and their confidence in performing vascular objective structured clinical examination (OCSE) skills. Methods During the academic year of 2022/2023, final-year medical students were invited to complete a JISC survey (collaborative authorship). Seventy-seven research leads were recruited to disseminate the survey. Quantitative and thematic analysis was used to assess the data. Results In total, 240 final-year medical students completed the survey (54% female; 26 medical schools represented). Forty-five per cent of students reported never having had a vascular placement, 24% had never completed a vascular-focused clinical examination and 26% reported low confidence in performing ankle brachial pressure index measurement. An assessment of peripheral arterial disease morbidity was answered correctly in 17% of respondents compared with 92% for angina (chi-square test p<0.001). Students perceived the specialty to be non-inclusive and that early exposure to vascular surgery was required for better engagement with the specialty. Conclusion Students have experienced little exposure to vascular surgery. This may affect future recruitment to vascular surgery and overall knowledge of vascular conditions in UK-trained doctors, which may affect long-term patient management.

Authors: Such-Pyrgiel Małgorzata , Gołębiowska Anna , Prokopowicz Dariusz 
Published: October 2023

ObjectivesThe most popular definition of sustainable development is contained in the Report of the Brundtland Commission of 1987, according to which “sustainable development is development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs”. Although this definition is widely accepted, it still requires further discussion, which is the subject of the present study.Material and methodsFor the purposes of this article, research was carried out on the broadly defined issues of sustainable development, the origin and importance of the Sustainable Development Goals, the essence of sustainability in the context of social, normative, economic, environmental, climate aspects as well as human rights, etc. The research also concerned the issue of key determinants of human security as an element of the concept of sustainable development. The method of analysis of literature sources, comparative analysis of the examined determinants of sustainable development in international terms and analysis of the synthesis of various individual, key aspects of sustainable development...ResultsResearch findings are included in the text of the article. The face of the principle of sustainable development is different, depending on the place, in which it is carried out. Its constituents, that is social and economic development with concurrent preserving of the environment, are differently treated in developed countries and in developing ones.ConclusionsThis variety of approaches affects the range of the understanding of the principle. It seems that this aspect of the principle should prevail that decides about the environmental protection - as the principle of sustainable development allows ensuring intergenerational equity in access to natural environment resources.

Jego cel to poszukiwanie podstawowych elementów rozwoju i stabilności państwa w warunkach globalizacji i członkostwa w Unii Europejskiej. Poszukując mechanizmów napędowych państwa wskazać trzeba przede wszystkim na wolną działalność gospodarczą oraz racjonalną gospodarkę samorządową (w wersji gminnej i regionalnej). To one właśnie są niedoceniane przez państwo, gdy zmierza do centralizacji zarządzania i ubezwłasnowolnienia samorządów w celu zwiększenia „siły państwa”, a w istocie władzy polityków, którzy niszczenie demokracji uznają za szybki „sukces.” Metoda analizy stosowana w tekście to konfrontacja tradycyjnej doktryny państwa na pograniczu autorytaryzmu stale obecnej w Polsce do roku 1989 z nową doktryną uwspólnotawiania państw. Najlepszą gwarancją która zapobiega starym i nowym zagrożeniom degeneracją funkcji państwowych jest obecnie prawo unijne z zestawem jego cech i środków egzekucji. Polska Konstytucja szeroko otwiera się na tę metodę wzmacniania państwa i prawa.
Real-timing processing of fiber bundle endomicroscopy images in Python using PyFibreBundle
Authors: Hughes Michael R. 
Published: October 2023

Fiber imaging bundles allow the transfer of optical images from
place-to-place along narrow and flexible conduits. Traditionally used
extensively in medical endoscopy, bundles are now finding new
applications in endoscopic microscopy and other emerging techniques.
PyFibreBundle is an open-source Python package for fast processing of
images acquired through imaging bundles. This includes detection and
removal of the fiber core pattern by filtering or interpolation, and
application of background and flat-field corrections. It also allows
images to be stitched together to create mosaics and resolution to be
improved by combining multiple shifted images. This paper describes
the technical implementation of PyFibreBundle and provides example
results from three endomicroscopy imaging systems: color transmission,
monochrome transmission, and confocal fluorescence. This allows
various processing options to be compared quantitatively and
qualitatively, and benchmarking demonstrates that PyFibreBundle can
achieve state-of-the-art performance in an open-source package. The
paper demonstrates core removal by interpolation and mosaicing at over
100 fps, real-time multi-frame resolution enhancement and the first
demonstration of real-time endomicroscopy image processing, including
core removal, on a Raspberry Pi single board computer. This
demonstrates that PyFibreBundle is potentially a valuable tool for the
development of low-cost, high-performance fiber bundle imaging
systems.

Published: October 2023

Background
With the benefit of using next-generation sequencing (NGS), our aim was to examine the prevalence of known monogenic causes in early-onset Parkinson’s disease (EOPD) patients in Thailand. The association between clinical features, such as levodopa-induced dyskinesia (LID), and genotypes were also explored.

Method
NGS studies were carried out for EOPD patients in the Tertiary-referral center for Parkinson’s disease and movement disorders. EOPD patients who had LID symptoms were enrolled in this study (n = 47). We defined EOPD as a patient with onset of PD at or below 50 years of age. LID was defined as hyperkinetic movements including chorea, ballism, dystonia, myoclonus, or any combination of these movements resulting from levodopa therapy, which could be peak-dose, off-period, or diphasic dyskinesias.

Results
Pathogenic variants were identified in 17% (8/47) of the Thai EOPD patients, of which 10.6% (5/47) were heterozygous GBA variants (c.1448T>C in 3 patients and c.115+1G>A in 2 patients), 4.3% (2/47) homozygous PINK1 variants (c.1474C>T) and 2.1% (1/47) a PRKN mutation (homozygous deletion of exon 7). The LID onset was earlier in patients with GBA mutations compared to those without (34.8±23.4 vs 106.2±59.5 months after starting levodopa, respectively, p = 0.001). LID onset within the first 30 months of the disease was also found to be independently associated with the GBA mutation (odds ratio [95% confidence interval] = 25.00 [2.12–295.06], p = 0.011).

Conclusion
Our study highlights the high prevalence of GBA pathogenic variants in Thai patients with EOPD and the independent association of these variants with the earlier onset of LID. This emphasizes the importance of genetic testing in this population.
Monitoring the reproductive number of COVID-19 in France: Comparative estimates from three datasets
Authors: Bonaldi Christophe , Fouillet Anne , Sommen Cécile , Lévy-Bruhl Daniel , Paireau Juliette 
Published: October 2023

Background
The effective reproduction number (Rt) quantifies the average number of secondary cases caused by one person with an infectious disease. Near-real-time monitoring of Rt during an outbreak is a major indicator used to monitor changes in disease transmission and assess the effectiveness of interventions. The estimation of Rt usually requires the identification of infected cases in the population, which can prove challenging with the available data, especially when asymptomatic people or with mild symptoms are not usually screened. The purpose of this study was to perform sensitivity analysis of Rt estimates for COVID-19 surveillance in France based on three data sources with different sensitivities and specificities for identifying infected cases.

Methods
We applied a statistical method developed by Cori et al. to estimate Rt using (1) confirmed cases identified from positive virological tests in the population, (2) suspected cases recorded by a national network of emergency departments, and (3) COVID-19 hospital admissions recorded by a national administrative system to manage hospital organization.

Results
Rt estimates in France from May 27, 2020, to August 12, 2022, showed similar temporal trends regardless of the dataset. Estimates based on the daily number of confirmed cases provided an earlier signal than the two other sources, with an average lag of 3 and 6 days for estimates based on emergency department visits and hospital admissions, respectively.

Conclusion
The COVID-19 experience confirmed that monitoring temporal changes in Rt was a key indicator to help the public health authorities control the outbreak in real time. However, gaining access to data on all infected people in the population in order to estimate Rt is not straightforward in practice. As this analysis has shown, the opportunity to use more readily available data to estimate Rt trends, provided that it is highly correlated with the spread of infection, provides a practical solution for monitoring the COVID-19 pandemic and indeed any other epidemic.
Case Report - Trauma Induced Vernet’s Syndrome
Authors: Sai Sri Hari Rao Nutakki  , Abhishek Kankipati  , Sujana Gogineni  , Vamsi Krishna Kotagiri  
Published: October 2023

Trauma induced Vernet’s syndrome is a rare presentation and very few case reports exist in medical literature. Here we report a 40-year-old male with no significant medical history who presented with clinical features of right IX, X, and XI cranial nerve palsy after trauma to the neck and was diagnosed with right internal jugular vein thrombosis on imaging causing compression and symptoms. Patient symptomatically improved with anti-coagulation and was advised regular follow-up.
This case report emphasizes on the need for identifying trauma induced thrombosis as one of the uncommon causes of Vernet’s syndrome with better prognosis and the need for early imaging techniques in such cases.
The jugular foramen-crossing IX, X, and XI cranial nerves are paralyzed in Vernet syndrome. The posterolateral sulcus of the medulla oblongata is where the glossopharyngeal nerve, vagus nerve, and spinal accessory nerves emerge. They then travel via the basal cistern before leaving the skull by the jugular foramen.[1] Primary tumours like paraganglioma, meningioma, and schwannoma, metastatic tumours at the base of the skull, inflammation like meningitis and malignant otitis external, sarcoidosis, Guillain-Barre syndrome, vascular events like dissection, thrombosis, or aneurysm, and trauma are the main causes of Vernet syndrome.
Vernet syndrome caused by trauma is incredibly rare and is typically brought on by penetrating trauma or fractures impacting the posterior skull base. Approximately 30 cases of Jugular foramen syndrome caused by a fracture in the jugular foramen area have been documented to date.[2,3] Only one posttraumatic Vernet case without a fracture has, however, been documented so far,[4] and this is one of them.

A novel slotted dumbbell-shaped dielectric resonator antenna with enhanced bandwidth for C-band and 5G sub-6 GHz applications
Authors: Chandra Ravi , Upadhyay Dileep Kumar 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
This manuscript presents a novel aperture-coupled fed slotted dumbbell-shaped (SDS) dielectric resonator antenna (DRA) with enhanced bandwidth for 5G sub-6 GHz, short-range wireless communications, and C-band applications. The DRA is excited by HEM11δ
mode. The proposed SDS-DRA is designed by assembling the four frustums of conical DRAs with the base and apex of one on top of another. The measured operating frequency of SDS-DRA is from 3.5 GHz to 9.6 GHz (impedance bandwidth of 93.1 %). The SDS-DRA shows a peak gain of 9.7 dBi in the operational frequency range, with an average peak gain of 6.02 dBi. The antenna’s average radiation efficiency is found to be 84.6 %. The proposed SDS-DRA produces omnidirectional-like radiation patterns with significantly low cross-polarization in the broadside direction. The size (l × w × h) of the proposed SDS-DRA is 1.55λ

Spatial evolution of coastal environmental enterprises: An exploration of driving factors in Jiangsu Province
Authors: Wu Xiaotong , Zhou Yang , Song Yiming , Qian Wanliang 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
This article presents an in-depth analysis of the spatial and temporal evolutionary characteristics of the environmental protection industry in Jiangsu Province and analyzes the dynamics of changes in the spatial pattern of the environmental protection industry as a whole using spatial visualization methods. Attribute data of environmental protection enterprises in Jiangsu Province from 2000 to 2022 were selected for this article, with spatial analysis methods. From 2000 to 2005, the industry expanded to include Suzhou, Changzhou, and other areas, forming a multi-core pattern, supported by a Moran’s I value of −0.049837. This clustering trend continued from 2006 to 2010, with Moran’s I values of −0.115285 in 2011–2015 and −0.117398 in 2016–2022. By 2022, new clusters emerged in the coastal areas of Xuzhou, Yancheng, and Nantong, reflecting industry growth. By detecting with multiple factors, it is found that such pattern evolution is a result of a combination of factors, which is mainly influenced by environmental and employment factors in the early stages of development, while also significantly driven by market factors in the later stages of development as the dynamics of the spatial pattern continue to evolve with the economy.
Background check: cross-cultural differences in the spatial context of comic scenes
Authors: Atilla Fred , Klomberg Bien , Cardoso Bruno , Cohn Neil 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Cognitive research points towards cultural differences in the way people perceive and express scenes. Whereas people from Western cultures focus more on focal objects, those from East Asia have been shown to focus on the surrounding context. This paper examines whether these cultural differences are expressed in complex multimodal media such as comics. We compared annotated panels across comics from six countries to examine how backgrounds convey contextual information of scenes in explicit or implicit ways. Compared to Western comics from the United States and Spain, East Asian comics from Japan and China expressed the context of scenes more implicitly. In addition, Nigerian comics moderately emulated American comics in background use, while Russian comics emulated Japanese manga, consistent with their visual styles. The six countries grouped together based on whether they employed more explicit strategies such as detailed, depicted backgrounds, or implicit strategies such as leaving the background empty. These cultural differences in background use can be attributed to both cognitive patterns of attention and comics’ graphic styles. Altogether, this study provides support for cultural differences in attention manifesting in visual narratives, and elucidates how spatial relationships are depicted in visual narratives across cultures.

Examining visual impact: predicting popularity and assessing social media visual strategies for NGOs
Authors: Koutromanou Elina , Sotirakou Catherine , Mourlas Constantinos 
Published: October 2023

Abstract

Purpose
This research aims to analyze the role of visuals posted on the social media of NGOs and to predict the popularity of a post based on the characteristics of the visual it contains.

Design/methodology/approach
Two social media platforms, namely Facebook and Instagram, were selected as the empirical study environments. Specifically, all visuals posted on 12 child-related Non-Government Organizations during the period of 2020–2021 (4,144 in total) were collected and subsequently subjected to automatic characterization using visual recognition and artificial intelligence tools. Machine learning algorithms were then employed to predict the popularity of a post solely based on the visuals it contains, as well as to identify the most significant features that serve as predictors for post popularity.

Findings
The Support Vector Classifier performed best with a prediction accuracy of 0.62 on Facebook and 0.81 on Instagram. For the explanation of the model, we used feature importance metrics and found that features like the presence of people and the emotions of joy and calmness are important for the prediction.

Practical implications
Companies and organizations serve a large part of their communication strategy through social media. Given that every advertiser would like to use their funds in the most efficient way, the ability to predict the performance of a post would be a very important tool.

Social implications
The methodology can be used in the non-profit sector, whereby knowing what visual will perform better they could promote their mission more effectively, increase public awareness, raise funds and reduce expenses on their communication strategy.

Originality/value
The novelty of this work regarding popularity prediction on social media lies in the fact that to make the prediction, it focused exclusively on the visual and its characteristics and achieved high accuracy scores in the case of Instagram. Additionally, it provided important information about visual characteristics and their importance in predicting popularity.
