Published: December 2023

У статті висвітлено результати дослідження зовнішніх і внутрішніх факторів, що пов’язані з виникненням психологічної залежності у сучасних підлітків. Мета статті – відображення результатів дослідження, присвяченого порівнянню на емпіричній основі впливу зовнішніх і внутрішніх детермінант на виникнення стану залежності. Віповідно до мети конкретизовано завдання дослідження: 1) виявити рівні сформованості схильності підлітків до адитивної поведінки; 2) виявити кількісні значення зовнішнього і внутрішнього чинників; 3) виявити характер зв’язків між видами адикції і зовнішніми і внутрішніми чинниками. Проаналізовано теоретичні погляди науковців на природу залежності, наведено класифікацію видів залежності, Розкрито специфіку підліткового віку як періоду, найбільш вразливого до виникнення залежної (адитивної) поведінки. Відмічено, що в суспільстві, яке вже тривалий період знаходиться в стані кризи (вимушена соціальна ізоляція широких верств населення під час пандемії, затяжна фрустрація у воєнних умовах) загострюють питання підвищення психологічної стійкості підлітків до зовнішніх впливів, прагнення вирішувати конфлікти на конструктивній основі. Охарактеризовано методичну базу дослідження, яка складається з трьох методик: 1) шкала «D» «Міжнародного опитувальника для вивчення поширеності насильства над дітьми – дитяча версія (ICAST-С)., 2) методика діагностики схильності до різних видів залежності Лозової Г; 3) експрес-діагностика рівня особистісної фрустрації (В. В. Бойко). Наведено результати емпіричного дослідження, які засвідчили що: 1) Зовнішня детермінація найбільш сприяє формуванню таких видів адикції, як: залежність від здорового способу життя (коефіцієнт кореляції 0,80), наркотична залежність (0,73), харчова (0,69), тютюнова (0,77), алкогольна (0,69). Найменші зв’язки виявлені з залежністю від ліків (0,29) і релігійною залежністью (0,1). 2) Внутрішня детермінація (рівень фрустрації як показник ступеню реагування на конфліктні події) більше пов’язана з такими видами залежності, як комп’ютерна залежність (0,52), тютюнова (0,51), наркотична (0,51), алкогольна (0,49), телевізійна (0,49), ігрова (0,48),, і найменше - залежність від здорового способу життя (0,02), залежність від ліків (0,1), сексуальна залежність (0,1). Доведено, що по більшості зв’язків, які існують між виникненням у підлітків схильності до адикції, явно домінує зовнішня детермінація (травмуючий вплив). Це можна пояснити тим, що у підлітків ще не сформований досвід конструктивного вирішення життєвих проблем, тому при виникненні ускладнень вони скоріше будуть діяти деструктивним шляхом. Намічено пріоритетні напрямки роботи з підлітками: формування умінь і навичок саморегуляції, оволодіння підлітками ефективними копінг-стратегіями, підвищення толерантності до фрустрації, оволодіння прийомами передбачення наслідків девіантної поведінки, формування позитивної Я-концепції і впевненості у своїх можливостях вплинути на соє життя зараз і в перспективі.

Active and passive sensors for diagnostics quasi-zenith ionospheric HF communication channels
Authors: Ivanov Dmitry V. , Ivanov Vladimir A. , Ryabova Natalia V. , Elsukov Alexey A. 
Published: December 2023

Background. There is a growing need for active sensory diagnostics of partial HF channels to provide frequency support to quasi-zenith HF radio links in varying signal propagation conditions. Enhancing the efficiency of active sensor algorithms, particularly by reducing emission time, is topical. To address this, a transition from sequential to parallel (simultaneous) diagnostics is proposed. Another significant challenge in HF communication is narrowband interference, and overcoming this issue involves the method of passive sensory diagnostics. This method assesses the availability of partial channels by analyzing the spectral density of interference power within them.
Aim. The goal of this study is to develop algorithms and software tools that implement spectral monitoring and parallel sensing of partial channels for sensory diagnostics of ionospheric channels in quasi-zenith HF communication.
Methods. The proposed approach involves integrating dynamic diagnostic methods into the development of intelligent sensors for ionospheric HF radio links, along with the creation of data analysis methods. Specialized computer software is employed to address the defined tasks. Experimental studies are conducted using the developed devices, which include intelligent active and passive radio sensors for HF radio links, to assess the load on HF communication channels.
Results. A sensor for orthogonal quasi-zenith ionospheric radio channels has been created, incorporating algorithms for synthesizing a group pulse with orthogonal subcarriers while minimizing the peak factor. Additionally, algorithms for separating subcarriers and calculating the correlation function at the reception have been developed. The sensor employs the OFDM-BPSK signal modulation method, enabling operation in simultaneous-sequential sounding mode across the potential frequency range for communication. This led to an 8-fold reduction in the total signal emission time.
Conclusion. The scientific results obtained have broad practical applications, particularly in enhancing the efficiency of wideband HF communication systems using spread spectrum signals.

This experimental investigation contributes to an understanding of healing landscapes and their potential in assisting psychological therapy and landscape design.
Even- and odd-numbered fatty acids used as worker arrestant aggregation pheromone components in the Formosan subterranean termite Coptotermes formosanus
Authors: Mitaka Yuki , Matsuura Kenji , Akino Toshiharu 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
Pheromones play a pivotal role in coordinating collective activities. Recent research has demonstrated that workers of the Japanese subterranean termite, Reticulitermes speratus, secrete an aggregation pheromone that induces quick assemble and prolonged stay at the pheromone source for nestmate workers, facilitating efficient dead-wood digestion and colony expansion. The question remains: do other termite species also utilize aggregation pheromones? In this study, we report that workers of the Formosan subterranean termite, Coptotermes formosanus, use a mixture of fatty acids as part of the pheromone components to maintain worker aggregation for extended periods of time. Through bioassays and gas-chromatography mass-spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis, we determined that a mixture of four fatty acids including palmitoleic acid, palmitic acid, (Z)-10-heptadecenoic acid, and stearic acid possesses arrestant activity but little or no attractant activity. Also, the inclusion of cholesterol and cuticular hydrocarbons reinforces only its arrestant activity. Further, GC-MS analysis of extracts of wood and soil, which serve as termite food, indicated that the pheromone components other than palmitic acid are not derived from their food, and GC analysis of extracts from different parts of worker’s body revealed that these components were most likely produced in the midgut and excreted to the outside of the body via the hindgut. These findings suggest that the aggregation pheromone components and their functions in C. formosanus are largely different from those in R. speratus. This research provides insights into the differences among termite species in the development of chemical signals triggering aggregation behavior.

Published: December 2023

Abstract

Background There are several methods to treat hemorrhoids; however, the most efficient is rubber band ligation (RBL), and the current combination of RBL with endoscopy is called endoscopic rubber band ligation of hemorrhoids (ERBL). This study aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of ERBL and analyze the satisfaction of patients with hemorrhoids.Methods This study was conducted according to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis guidelines. Two authors (Xu, Yang) independently searched PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Embase, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, and WanFang in April 2022. All eligible Chinese and English records were included in the analysis. Meta-analysis was performed using Review Manager version 5.3.Results A total of 330 articles were identified. Ultimately, 12 articles were included in the analysis. Compared to the control group, patients who underwent ERBL had significantly improved postoperative pain (visual analog scale score) (mean difference = -1.26, 95% confidence interval [CI] [-1.85, -0.68], P < 0.001). Simultaneously, ERBL reduced the incidence of complications such as postoperative bleeding (odd ratio [OR] = 0.31, 95% CI [0.16, 0.62], P = 0.0008), urinary retention (OR = 0.27, 95% CI [0.09, 0.83], P = 0.02), and anal protrusion (OR = 0.09, 95% CI [0.02, 0.36], P = 0.0008). In the postoperative follow-up, compared with other surgical methods in the control group, ERBL significantly increased the effective rate of surgery (OR = 5.77, 95% CI [2.41, 13.78], P < 0.001), decreased the postoperative recurrence rate (OR = 0.39, 95% CI [0.21, 0.74], P = 0.004), and improved patient satisfaction with surgery (OR = 4.3, 95% CI [2.21, 8.37], P < 0.001).Conclusions ERBL improved postoperative pain, reduced complications, and improved postoperative satisfaction in patients with hemorrhoids. These findings are suitable for further research.

Abstract
The prognosis of patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) relapsing after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HCT) is poor. Several studies have evaluated the significance of pre-emptive therapies using measurable residual disease (MRD) as a marker of hematological relapse. This single-center retrospective study aimed to clarify the significance of pre-emptive treatment based on Wilms’ tumor gene-1 mRNA (WT1) monitoring as an MRD in allografted patients with AML. The eligibility criteria were patients with AML who received chemotherapy for hematological relapse or WT1 increase after HCT. From January 2017 to June 2022, 30 patients with a median age of 57 (16-70) years were included and stratified into two groups: 10 in the WT1 group and 20 in the hematological relapse. The median times from HCT to WT1 increase or hematological relapse were 309 days (range: 48-985) or 242 days (range: 67-1116), respectively. Less intensive chemotherapy using azacitidine or cytarabine was selected for all patients with WT1 increase and 12 (60%) with hematological relapse. The 1-year survival and event-free survival rates for WT1 increase and hematological relapse were 70% vs. 44% (P=0.024) and 70% vs. 29% (P=0.029), respectively. These real-world data suggest that WT1-guided pre-emptive therapy may be superior to therapy after hematological relapse in allografted patients with AML.
Reliability and validity of the modified shuttle test-Paeds to measure cardiorespiratory fitness in children
Authors: Aertssen wendy , Kamp A , Jelsma LD , Smits-Engelsman BCM 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
Background
Investigate the construct validity (known-group and convergent validity) and test-retest reliability of the recently developed test for cardiorespiratory fitness, the Modified Shuttle Test-Paeds (Paeds).
Methods
A total of 144 participants (6-12y) were tested on the Paeds and 84 children on the 20-meter Shuttle Run test (20m-SRT) to examine construct validity. To evaluate test-retest reliability 46 children were tested twice on the Paeds.
Results
No gender differences were found but there was an age effect. High correlation was found between Paeds and 20m-SRT (rs=0.78, p < 0.001). The test-retest reliability was good 0.84 (95%CI 0.74–0.91.
Conclusion
The Paeds appears to be a reliable and valid tool to estimate cardiorespiratory fitness in typically developing children aged 6–12 years. More studies are needed to assess if children do reach aerobic steady state in three minutes and how much of the result of the Paeds can be explained by the agility component of the task (turning and grasping or aiming a bean bag). For clinical use, psychometric properties should be studied in various patient groups (e.g. ADHD and DCD).

Published: December 2023

Abstract
Nonpharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) implemented during the COVID-19 pandemic have disrupted the dynamics of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) on a global scale; however, the cycling of RSV subtypes in the pre- and post-pandemic period remains poorly understood. Here, we use a two subtype RSV model supplemented with epidemiological data to study the impact of NPIs on the two circulating subtypes, RSV-A and RSV-B. The model is calibrated to historic RSV subtype data from the United Kingdom and Finland and predicts a tendency for RSV-A dominance prior to RSV-B following the implementation of NPIs. Using a global genetic dataset, we confirm that RSV-A has prevailed over RSV-B in the post-pandemic period, consistent with a higher R0 for RSV-A. With new RSV infant monoclonals and maternal and elderly vaccines becoming widely available, these results may have important implications for understanding intervention effectiveness in the context of disrupted subtype dynamics.
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and colorectal adenoma/polyps: A Two-Sample Mendelian randomization study.
Authors: Kong Dewei , Tan Yunfei , Wu Aiwen 
Published: December 2023

Abstract

Background: A potential link between non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and colorectal adenoma/polyps has been suggested by observational studies, which have inherent limitations that make them unsuitable for assessing causality. We designed a two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) study to assess the causal effects of NAFLD on adenoma/polyps in the colorectum and its eight segments.
Methods: Genetic instruments were utilized as proxies for NAFLD and colorectal adenoma/polyps, and those for NAFLD were described by NAFLD clinical diagnosis and percent liver fat. Genome-wide association study (GWAS) data were obtained from GWAS Catalog and FinnGen consortium.
Results: In inverse-variance weighted (IVW) models, both NAFLD clinical diagnosis [odds ratio (OR) = 1.05, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.02-1.09, false discovery rate (FDR) = 0.008] and percent liver fat (OR = 1.08, 95% CI: 1.04-1.13, FDR = 0.001) were significantly associated with colorectal adenoma/polyps, which proved to be plausible in sensitivity analysis. As for individual segments of the colorectum, the results revealed that both NAFLD clinical diagnosis (OR = 1.10, 95% CI: 1.04-1.17, FDR = 0.010) and percent liver fat (OR = 1.17, 95% CI: 1.04-1.32, FDR = 0.034) were significantly associated with rectal adenoma/polyps without heterogeneity or pleiotropy. However, NAFLD did not show significant associations with adenoma/polyps in other segments of the colorectum.
Conclusion: Our finding supported a causal effect of NAFLD on colorectal adenoma/polyps, particularly those in the rectum.
