Authors: Anghelina Florina Violeta , Popa Ion Florin , Popa Carmen , Popescu Ileana Nicoleta 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
In this work, a number of significant factors are highlighted that affect the optical emission spectrochemical tests with spark or electric arc excitation on stainless steels with multiple synergistic purposes such as: acquiring new knowledge, increasing the amount of information obtained about the material, increasing the efficiency and quality of the tests, the characterization of special purpose alloys and the assessment of their compliance with the specified requirements. In this direction, it requires both knowledge of testing methods (theoretical basis, test method, procedure related to the method, quality assurance testing) and the characteristics of the investigated materials. These aspects are necessary for the analysis of the test system and the most correct preliminary interpretation of the experimental results.

Published: December 2023

Abstract
The Mongolian robe is the crystallisation of the wisdom of Mongolian people after a long period of social practice and one of the intangible cultural heritages of humanity. With the gradual disappearance of the nomadic lifestyle in the steppe, it is not easy to protect and pass on traditional Mongolian dress culture and traditional handicraft technology. This study used the digital twin concept to construct a digital twin to try on clothes for a model in a virtual environment, to realise a mirror image presentation of the target physical entity, and to use effective modern technology to protect and pass on the traditional clothing. The experiment used an AlphaM4 3D body scanner to obtain a 3D human body model, as well as reverse engineering technology to process the initial data, such as noise reduction, streamlining, hole patching and smoothing to build a personalised human body model. The traditional black cotton robe of the Nayman tribe researched in the field was mapped by the planar structure design method, and its structure and 2D samples were recovered. A 3D model of the traditional cotton robe of the Nayman tribe was established based on 3D simulation technology to achieve a 3D virtual display effect, enable better dissemination and inheritance, and give a new vitality to non-heritage clothing in the digital era. The research results can provide fresh ideas and technical support for the digital estate and development of other traditional costumes, as well as contribute to the construction of digital resources for intangible cultural heritage.

Published: December 2023

Summary
The aim of this study was to determine the potential of early inflammatory markers to diagnose late-onset neonatal sepsis – interleukin 6 (IL-6), interleukin 8 (IL-8) and endocan (ESM-1), and to compare them with routinely used markers like C-reactive protein (CRP) and procalcitonin (PCT). A prospective (January, 2022 – January, 2023) clinical-epidemiological study was conducted in a third level NICU in Pleven, Bulgaria. Patients with suspected nosocomial infection and healthy controls were tested. A sandwich ELISA method was used to measure the serum concentrations. Sixty newborns with an average gestational age of 29.75±3.61 gestational weeks were included, of which 35% were symptomatic and infected, 33.3% were symptomatic but uninfected, and 31.7% were asymptomatic controls. The mean values of PCT and IL-6 differ significantly in the three groups. For ESM-1, IL-8 and CRP, the difference was statistically insignificant. The best sensitivity (78%) and negative predictive value (84%) was found for IL-6. The introduction into routine practice of indicators such as PCT and IL-6 may provide an opportunity to promptly optimize the diagnostic and therapeutic approach to LOS.
Predictors for Gangrene and Perforation of Gallbladder Wall in Patients with Acute Cholecystitis
Authors: Marinova Polina G. 
Published: December 2023

Summary
Perforation of the gallbladder wall leads to a local perivesical abscess or progression to biliary peritonitis. The study aimed to analyse clinical, laboratory, and imaging indicators that have the strongest relationship with the presence of gangrenous cholecystitis and perforation of the wall and to design a predictive scoring system that highlights the risk of developing gangrenous cholecystitis with perforation. We performed a retrospective analysis of a total of 331 patients operated for five years (2016-2020) at the Department of Surgical Diseases” of Medical University - Pleven, with histologically verified chronic cholecystitis (120 patients; 36.4%), acute cholecystitis (100 patients; 30.1%), and destructive cholecystitis (111 patients; 33.5%). The statistical analysis identified nine main factors with the most substantial statistical significance in patients with gangrene and perforation of the gallbladder wall: age >65, male gender, diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular pathology, tachycardia>90 bpm, WBC>14.109, the thickness of gallbladder wall > 4 mm with pericholecystic fluid, ASAT and ALAT > 40 UI, CRP>150 ng/l. The total possible score was 11 points. The positive predictive value of the scale was 96% and identified the cases with micro-perforation and perivesical abbesses among the group with the highest total score.

Published: December 2023

Summary
The choice between mechanical and bioprosthetic aortic valve implants is affected by relatively clear criteria. However, the choice between porcine or pericardial valve is more complex regarding bioprosthetic devices. We aimed to elucidate any hemodynamic and clinical difference between two widely used bioprosthetic valves: the Sorin Mitroflow bovine pericardial valve and the St. Jude Medical Epic Supra porcine valve. We retrospectively studied 71 consecutive patients separated into two groups based on the valve they received. Clinical outcomes included patient survival and hemodynamic performance of the implanted prostheses. Patients were assessed at one and five years postoperatively. Mean transprosthetic pressure gradients were used as a marker of hemodynamic performance. The Mitroflow valve exhibited lesser mean transvalvular gradients than the Epic valve for all labelled sizes at one and five years postoperatively. The 5-year survival was equal between groups. Both prostheses demonstrated a small but significant increase in mean pressure gradients in the fifth year. Most patients enjoyed significant clinical improvement as assessed by NYHA functional class. Both bioprostheses performed very well with excellent hemodynamic parameters. The pericardial valves are a safe and appropriate choice for surgical bioprosthetic aortic valve replacement.

Summary
Squamous cell carcinoma of the skin (SCCs) accounts for 20-30% of non-melanoma skin cancers, resulting in 1 million cases in the United States annually. The risk of developing SCCs increases annually, and this process will likely be continued because of the aging population. We investigated 355 patients with histopathologically confirmed SCCs. We rated the age- and sex-related incidence, risk factors, localisation, pathological features, staging systems and treatment, and the recurrence and mortality rates of the tumours. Staging and risk stratification for recurrence and metastases is significant. Most SCCs are successfully treated surgically, with a small subset of carcinomas leading to recurrence, metastasis, and death. Patients with advanced and metastatic disease are often inappropriate for surgical and radiation therapy. We present the first study on squamous cell carcinoma of the skin conducted for the population of the Pleven and Lovech regions of Bulgaria.

Published: December 2023

Summary
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory disease based on genetic and immune alterations and is part of the atopic symptom complex, including allergic rhinitis, allergic conjunctivitis, and bronchial asthma. A disturbed barrier function facilitates antigen penetration through the skin, with the subsequent development of allergic contact dermatitis (ACD). The gold standard for diagnosing ACD is epicutaneous (patch) testing, also applied to objectify contact sensitization in AD. This study aimed to determine the frequency of contact allergy (CA) among individuals with atopic history and the allergens that caused ACD in those cases. We studied 453 individuals tested in the period 2009-2022. Of these, a subpopulation of 189 individuals with atopic diathesis was identified. A retrospective analysis was used. Using clinical and allergological methods, we divided the tested patients according to sex, age, professional occupation, and areas of the body affected by dermatitis and identified the most common contact allergens that cause positive reactions and ACD. In conclusion, our results highlight the possibility of developing ACD in people with atopic diathesis. As far as we know, our study is the first one in Bulgaria to examine the frequency of contact sensitization in AD patients.
Two Wars for One Life: Verbalisation of Experience During the War
Authors: Koval-Fuchylo Iryna 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
This article examines the oral recollections of Leonida Stanislavivna Panchyk, born in 1939 in Makariv district, Kyiv region, where she has lived all her life. The oral recollections were recorded from February 26 to March 5, 2022, during the beginning of the active phase of the Russian-Ukrainian war. The uniqueness and special value of the presented records lies in the fact that they demonstrate the living life of the Ukrainian narrative tradition. The recorded narrative is a direct reaction to the war. The analysed material and the study of the living situation gave grounds to distinguish the following three groups of reasons that caused the emergence of a memory: characters, events, place. The associative logical sequence of plots in memories is described. All the stories are a child’s memories and primarily describe events that are important to the child. Panchyk’s memories are sustained in one ideological, thematic and genre direction, they are not diluted by other themes or genres.
“I Had No Childhood”: A Trauma History of Deported Ukrainians from Western Boykivshchyna
Authors: Kolomyichuk Oleksandr 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
The article is devoted to the trauma history of Ukrainians from Western Boykivshchyna, part of the Boykivshchyna ethnographical region situated in modern Ukraine. Operation Vistula (1947–1950) was the forced resettlement of more than 150,000 Ukrainians and mixed Polish-Ukrainian families from the territory of Rzeszów, Lublin and Kraków provinces (Voivodeships) to the western and northern territories of Poland, leading to radical changes within this regional group. The article deals with the difficult experience of the resettlers not only in the context of psychological, but also cultural, trauma. According to the theory of Polish sociologist Piotr Sztompka, three main phases of cultural trauma induced by resettlement have been highlighted and are outlined as strategies to cope with trauma: contemporary resettlers’ preservation of native culture, religion and family tradition, and sharing memories of the past.

Abstract
The article deals with customs and rituals related to pregnancy, childbirth and childcare among Kazakhs at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th centuries, and the preservation and changes in these traditions today. The article is based on written data, as well as field data collected by authors from East Kazakh-stan. The customs of the Kazakh people are connected with those of neighbouring people, including the Turkic-speaking people of Siberia and Central Asia.
The rituals associated with a pregnancy and childbirth have been divided into three main stages: prenatal customs, childbirth customs, and postpartum customs. We analysed the formation of these customs and their semantic meanings. This helps us to identify factors that have influenced and affected women’s position in the family and in society, as well as those factors that led to an increase or decrease in status. Kazakhs have a particular respect for pregnant women, and the status of women who give birth to sons, or to many children, is especially high.
The Baby on the Track: A Newspaper Legend with Roots in the 19th Century
Authors: Klintberg Bengt Af 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
In a novel by a Chinese author, Yu Hua, the birth of the main character takes place in a train toilet. He falls down on the track and survives. During the last 30 years news stories with this content have been reported several times. The event is generally said to have taken place in China or India. From a folkloristic perspective the story can be defined as a newspaper legend. Like contemporary legends in oral tradition newspaper legends often are about accidents where babies are involved. As opposed to the orally transmitted legends they generally have a happy ending; they are published as a counterbalance to all the real accidents that daily papers have to report. The oldest version of “The Baby on the Track” was published in 1888 in a medical journal. The author, the famous physician William Osler, had a reputation for being a practical joker, and today it is difficult to judge if his story is based on a real case or if Osler invented it.
Understanding Hybrid Threats and their Societal Impact – Republic of Moldova Case Study
Authors: Stănescu Marina 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
Hybrid threats undermine societies and foster unrest. Russia’s brutal and unjustified war against Ukraine has changed Moldova’s geopolitical situation. As President Maia Sandu states “using the full range of hybrid threats - including false bomb threats, cyber-attacks, disinformation, calls for social unrest and open corruption – Russia has sought to destabilize the government, erode our democracy and jeopardize Moldova’s contribution to the security of Europe as a whole”. Through consultants, money transfers, and fostering corruption, Russia is interfering in Moldova’s political landscape. However, the international community is highly concerned and supports the Republic of Moldova through a wide range of measures and instruments. The goal of this article is to highlight the main hybrid actions, their impact on Moldovan society, and the state authority’s response in responding to these hybrid threats. Consequently, this article emphasizes the difficulty of ensuring political sustainability amid an intense hybrid warfare.

Published: December 2023

History says that design is actually rooted in artistic activities that have grown towards one sphere of culture in its essence to another: the means of everyday human life. When historical descriptions state that the primitive people make cangulals as a tool that is a transformation of the extension of the hand: often questions about design, art or technology. Design is challenged to have to engage in a variety of cultural weather. As with technology, design is required to immediately formulate the situation in line with the development of other cultural sectors. The construction of the Bauhus in Germany, with the prophecy of Walter Gropius, is considered a milestone in the development of modern design history. The basic philosophy of the Bauhaus departs from the idea that the methods of industrial production of the 19th century have led to the disregard of the relationship between the process of design and handicraft or the ability of the hand, the unity between the creator and the product is broken. In fact, the influence, the Bauhaus principles that later evolved into an International style, were not the product of experiments produced by the instructors (Meister) and his students, but the methodology of visual arts education and the design methodology that he taught. The fundamental role of a designer will never change, but what will change is his commercial situation. Technology, research, and manufacturing techniques of different products drive manufacturers to produce similar items. Keywords: History; Product Design; Design Role
Quantifying a Scoring Limitation of a Federal UAS Flight Proficiency Exam
Authors: Burgett Joseph , Dees Colin 
Published: December 2023

To operate a drone in the U.S., the federal government requires pilots to pass a standardized Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) knowledge test. The government does not require drone pilots pass a practical exam demonstrating minimum flight proficiency. However, the government, through the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), has provided a voluntary exam protocol to test flight skills. Using the NIST exam protocol, the Airborne Public Safety Association has created the only nationally recognized unmanned aircraft systems flight proficiency certification. This certification is frequently used by contractors and construction UAS courses. The literature has identified a limitation in how the exam is scored. The purpose of this study is to quantify how impactful this limitation is. The researchers conducted an experiment administering the exam to 24 licensed drone pilots. The exam was scored compensating for the scoring limitation. The study found that when the scoring limitation was accounted for, scoreswere inflated by approximately 5% with inexperienced pilots. Inexperienced pilots will have the highest deviation and represent the most extreme cases. Given the relatively low 5% deviation with novice pilots, the study found that this limitation is not a significant concern and can be managed by the exam proctor.

A chromosomal analysis of three breeds of Iraqi sheep (Karadi Arabi and Awassi) has been performed on peripheral lymphocytes. The modal chromosome number of all the three breeds was found to be (2n=54XX/54XY) for femal and male respectively.
The karyotype of Awassi differ from the rest of the domestic sheep (Ovis aries) by the presence of a pericentric inversion on one copy of chromosome number 3.
Basal minimal medium supplemented with foetal bovine serum was the most suitable culture medium to produce sufficient mitotic cells for chromosomal analysis.

Published: December 2023

Single cell protein was used to replace 0,7,10,13 and 16% of soyabean meal in diets for broiler chicks up to 51 days of age. In presence of 4% fish meal, ethanol yeast (SCP) could be added at 10% in broiler diet at age 1-24 days and 13% in the diet at age 24-51 days. Chicks given the diets containing 10 and 13% SCP grew significantly (P<0.01) faster than those given 0,7, and 16% SCP. There were significant (P<0.01) differences in the efficiency of feed conversion among different groups.
