Mental health information-seeking in Greece from the Global Financial Crisis to the COVID-19 pandemic: A multiple change-point Google Trends analysis
Authors: Parpoula Christina , Anagnostopoulos Fotios 
Published: January 2025

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the Greek population was already burdened by the strain of a decade-long financial crisis, which had caused life disruption, insecurity, uncertainty, and loss of symbolic capital, inevitably placing a huge cumulative burden on their mental health. Since other discernable population-level changes in mental health have not yet emerged, continued monitoring is warranted. Identifying emerging needs for mental health services was the major objective of the present study. To accomplish this, a multiple change-point detection and validation approach was employed to analyze Google Trends data, exploring community interest in mental health therapists and treatment practices in Greece. Specifically, Google search data from pre- and post-financial and pandemic crises periods (2004-2023) were analyzed to assess the search frequency of specific topics/terms of interest. The results revealed that, over the last six years or so, searches for terms like “psychologist”, “psychiatrist”, “psychotherapist”, and “neurologist”, as well as treatment practices such as “psychotherapy”, “meditation”, and “antidepressants”, have increased. However, a decline in searches for “mental health counselor”, “psychotherapy”, “psychoanalysis”, “meditation” and “mental health helplines” was observed after 2011 (persisting for at least the next 5-7 years in certain cases). Searches for “psychoanalyst”, “mental health centre” and “anxiolytics” remained relatively stable throughout the study period. These results, combined with ongoing surveillance, can offer insights into public interest in mental health services and guide public mental health initiatives to be better tailored to the needs of communities, ultimately addressing the psychological toll of the preceding socioeconomic crisis and the current COVID-19 situation.

The objective of this article is to assess the efficacy and safety of diverse therapeutic strategies for treatment-resistant depression (TRD), encompassing both pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions. Additionally, the review identifies potential avenues for future research within this domain.
The article compares the results of selected studies. We conducted a literature search in November of 2024, using PubMed. Six studies were identified, chosen, and appraised. Among these studies, three are systematic reviews and three are narrative literature reviews.
If it comes to treatment efficacy studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of several strategies. Ketamine and esketamine have shown rapid and substantial efficacy in mitigating the symptoms of TRD. Augmentation with aripiprazole and quetiapine has also been found to enhance the response to antidepressant treatment. The combination of olanzapine and fluoxetine is effective for treating TRD, however, it may be associated with metabolic side effects. Augmentation with lithium, triiodothyronine (T3), and lamotrigine shows promising results, though further research is required to fully evaluate their efficacy and safety in TRD management.
The management of TRD is associated with several challenges. These include the absence of a standardized definition and grading system, which impedes the comparison of research outcomes. The multifactorial nature of TRD further complicates the development of a universal treatment strategy. Summarizing, there are several treatment strategies available for TRD, however, the most effective approach should be personalized for each patient. Ongoing research is critical to advancing our understanding of TRD and developing more effective therapeutic options.

Published: January 2025

Background/purpose
Early detection of severe dengue (SD) and appropriate management are crucial in reducing the case fatality rate. The objective of this study was to investigate the clinical characteristics of SD and identify independent risk factors associated with mortality among SD patients.

Methods
A retrospective study was conducted at two medical center hospitals between 2002 and 2019, involving patients aged ≧18 years with laboratory-confirmed SD.

Results
This study included 294 patients with SD, of whom 203 (69%) survived and 91 (31%) died. Among the 294 SD patients, 103 (35%) experienced acute kidney injury, 54 (18.4%) had pneumonia, and 19 (6.5%) had bacteremia. Among the 286 patients with available alanine aminotransferase (ALT) data, 41 (14.3%) experienced severe hepatitis (ALT>1000U/L). The median time from illness onset to death among the 91 SD patients who died was 5 days. Multivariable regression analysis revealed increasing odds of death associated with older age (odds ratio [OR], 1.037; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.009–1.066), altered consciousness (OR, 8.591; 95% CI, 2.914–25.330), gastrointestinal bleeding (OR, 1.939; 95% CI, 1.037–3.626), and leukocytosis (OR, 2.504; 95% CI, 1.124–5.578) upon arrival, as well as organ impairment during hospitalization, including acute kidney injury (OR, 2.627; 95% CI, 1.373–5.028), severe hepatitis (OR, 5.324; 95% CI, 2.199–12.889), and pneumonia (OR, 2.250; 95% CI, 1.054–4.802).

Conclusions
Our findings underscore the importance of early recognition and intervention by frontline physicians in identifying SD patients at high risk of mortality. This information can significantly contribute to reducing fatalities and improving the overall management of SD cases.

Gesture recognition from surface electromyography signals based on the SE-DenseNet network
Authors: Xiang Ying , Zheng Wei , Tang Jiajia , Dong You , Pang Yuhao 
Published: January 2025

Abstract

Objectives
In recent years, significant progress has been made in the research of gesture recognition using surface electromyography (sEMG) signals based on machine learning and deep learning techniques. The main motivation for sEMG gesture recognition research is to provide more natural, convenient, and personalized human-computer interaction, which makes research in this field have considerable application prospects in rehabilitation technology. However, the existing gesture recognition algorithms still need to be further improved in terms of global feature capture, model computational complexity, and generalizability.

Methods
This paper proposes a fusion model of Squeeze-and-Excitation Networks (SE) and DenseNet, inserting attention mechanism between DenseBlock and Transition to focus on the most important information, improving feature representation ability, and effectively solving the problem of gradient vanishing.

Results
This proposed method was tested on the electromyographic gesture datasets NinaPro DB2 and DB4, achieving accuracies of 85.93 and 82.39 % respectively. Through ablation experiments, it was found that the method based on DenseNet-101 as the backbone model produced the best results.

Conclusions
Compared with existing models, this proposed method has better robustness and generalizability in gesture recognition, providing new ideas for the development of sEMG signal gesture recognition applications in the future.

Published: January 2025

Abstract
This article examines Kazakhstan’s approach to developing science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) competencies in future teachers by analyzing educational programs (EPs) and key aspects of STEM education implementation. The purpose is to provide an in-depth understanding of Kazakhstan’s strategy for developing STEM skills in future educators through an analysis of existing EPs and the examination of implementation practices. Using quantitative and qualitative content analysis, this study reviews diverse publication sources from 2019 to 2023, including scientific journals, research projects, social media, and EPs. The findings highlight critical aspects of STEM education in Kazakhstan: curriculum integration, teacher training status, innovative teaching approaches, infrastructure development, and government support. Notably, the formation of STEM competencies among science teachers is considered essential in Kazakhstan’s modern teacher education, aligning with global practices. Effective STEM education implementation in Kazakhstan requires further program development incorporating STEM technologies, increased funding, and the application of international expertise.
The Present Monetary Policy Framework is Seriously Flawed
Authors: Biggs Michael , Mayer Thomas 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
The current approach to monetary policy encapsulates the belief that the monetary policy stance can be measured by the level of the real policy rate (r) relative to a neutral rate (r*). We argue that this interest rate gap (r – r*) is a flawed concept. It would only be meaningful, if r* could be theoretically and empirically unambiguously identified as an essential variable for the establishment of equilibrium conditions in the economy. In this case, the central bank could generate temporary deviations of r from r* to restore equilibrium when an exogenous shock pushed the economy into disequilibrium. But r* is ambiguous in theory and unobservable empirically. The consequence is that we can only measure a monetary policy impulse generated by changes in r, but not its stance relative to an incomprehensible benchmark. Moreover, while short term changes in demand are driven by changes in interest rates, the difference of actual financial rates to a notional neutral rate does not translate into the real world by itself. The level of real interest rates, which affects investment in the medium term, has differed from financial rates, which are managed by the central bank with regard to its estimates of a neutral rate r*. Hence, we argue that the current monetary policy framework is seriously flawed.
Extraction approaches for the isolation of some POPs from lipid-based environmental and food matrices: A review
Authors: Carriera Fabiana , Di Fiore Cristina , Iannone Alessia , Maio Monica , Avino Pasquale 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
This review examined various analytical approaches for extracting some persistent organic pollutants (POPs) from environmental and food matrices containing lipid components. The impact of the lipid component on the extraction of such hazardous chemicals from fatty matrices is well-known due to their lipophilicity. The analysis of the scientific literature revealed different approaches, typically characterized by the use of a solvent mixture that leads to the co-extraction of lipid components, followed by one or more laborious clean-up steps to remove the interferents from the matrix. Despite the differences in the approaches used, the observed recoveries are high, >80%. Additionally, it was found that the same technique could extract different contaminants from various matrices, resulting in a loss of selectivity of the method used. The uncertainties suggested in this review consider (i) the actual extraction of POPs with polar solvents (e.g., acetonitrile) from lipid component, for which POPs may have higher retention; (ii) the use of laborious, long cleaning steps (e.g., polar and non-polar adsorbent phases) could affect recoveries; (iii) the absence of studies investigating the concrete and constant distribution of POPs between extractive solvent/lipid component and solvent/adsorbent phase. Further, the recent application of eutectic solvents was discussed as a promising approach towards a green chemistry procedure.
A Transfer of Language and Culture: German Bread and Pastries and Their Names in Kosovo
Authors: Hamiti Vjosa , Jusufi Lumnije 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
This article examines the linguistic and cultural influence of German bread culture in Kosovo, where bread holds significant meaning as a symbol of hospitality and community. The introduction of German bread products, driven by migration and economic changes, has transformed Kosovar “bread habits”. The Buka and Premium bakeries have played a crucial role in promoting German bread names and products, capitalising on their perceived prestige and association with healthy eating trends. The article researches German–Albanian relations and shows that there is intensive interaction especially in the area of food. This connection, along with the legacy of its former status as part of Yugoslavia, migration, and the presence of German-speaking institutions in Kosovo, highlights the role of bread as a culinary, language, and cultural link. Using the methodological lens of language and cultural transfer, the study demonstrates the significant influence of German bread culture on Kosovo’s bread-making practices and food culture.
Kosta Nikolić’s Book Krajina (1991–1995). An Extended Review
Authors: Savković Mirko 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
The essay comments on Kosta Nikolić’s voluminous study Krajina 1991–1995, jointly published in November 2023 by the Serb National Council in Croatia and the Fraktura publishing house. Nikolić delves into the ideologically charged story of the failed separatist proto-state of the Republic of Serbian Krajina which existed on the territory of Croatia in the first half of the 1990s. The book was written by a Belgrade-based historian and published by two Croatian publishers, one of which is the national coordinating body of the Serbs in Croatia and the other the country’s leading progressive publisher. This combination unsurprisingly sparked public interest and debate, which the author covers in this review essay, along with an assessment of the book as such. While largely forgotten beyond Croatia and Yugoslavia’s other successor states, the book’s topic is of relevance and provides salient lessons for contemporary separatist and territorial conflicts globally.
All the way from the Baltic: amber beads from an Iron Age grave at Hama, western Syria
Authors: Mortensen Martin N. , Hald Mette Marie , Frydendahl Jacob , Lumsden Stephen , Bangsgaard Pernille , Mouamar Georges , Bonechi Marco , Alaura Silvia 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Widening and diversifying trade networks are often cited among the boom and bust of Bronze and Iron Age worlds. The great distances that goods could travel during these periods are exemplified here as the authors describe the spectroscopic identification of Baltic amber beads in an Iron Age cremation grave at Hama in Syria. Yet these beads are not unique in the Near Eastern record; as the authors show, comparable finds and references to amber or amber hues in contemporaneous texts illustrate the high social and economic value of resinous substances—a value based on perceptions of their distant origin.
ФЕРОМОН ИНВАЗИЙНЫХ ПОПУЛЯЦИЙ КОРОЕДА IPS AMITINUS (EICHHOFF) В РОССИИ ПОКА НЕ НАЙДЕН
Authors: КЕРЧЕВ И.А. , КИРИЧЕНКО Н.И. , БАРАНЧИКОВ Ю.Н. 
Published: January 2025

Союзный короед ( Ips amitinus (Eichhoff)) - европейский вид, сравнительно недавно проникший в Сибирь, где образует очаги массового размножения в насаждениях нового для него растения-хозяина - сосны сибирской ( Pinus sibirica Du Tour). В одном из очагов в кедровниках Томской области в июне-августе 2024 г. были вывешены барьерные ловушки с диспенсерами, содержащими аналоги агрегационного феромона союзного короеда производства Российского центра карантина (ВНИИКР) и австрийской фирмы Witasek. В период активного лета короеда диспенсеры отечественного и австрийского производства не привлекли ни одной особи союзного короеда. Диспенсеры ВНИИКР отловили его специализированного энтомофага муравьежука Thanasius femoralis (Zetterstedt) и ряд нецелевых видов короедов и усачей. Видовой состав отловленных насекомых диспенсера австрийского производства был неотличим от такового контрольных ловушек. Подчеркивается необходимость дополнительных исследовательских работ по поиску и наработке феромонных смесей для мониторинга популяций союзного короеда в его вторичном ареале.
The small spruce bark beetle ( Ips amitinus (Eichhoff)) is the European species which invaded Siberia providing outbreaks in forests predominated by its new host plant, the Siberian pine ( Pinus sibirica Du Tour). The barrier pheromone traps with dispensers containing synthetic aggregation pheromone of small spruce bark beetle produced by the Russian Quarantine Center (VNIIKR) and the Austrian company Witasek were placed in the pest foci in the Siberian pine forest of the Tomsk Region and regularly checked in June-August 2024. During the period of bark beetle flight, the synthetic pheromones of Russian and Austrian producers attracted no one small spruce bark beetle specimen. Instead, the Russian pheromone attracted specialized entomophagous predator Thanasius femoralis (Zetterstedt) and a number of non-target species of bark beetles and sawyer beetles. The catches on the Austrian pheromone were indistinguishable from control traps in terms of the composition of attracted insect species. The necessity of additional research on the development of efficient pheromone mixtures for monitoring small spruce bark beetle in its secondary range is emphasized.
Конфесійні аспекти зовнішньополітичної стратегії Російської імперії другої половини XVIII століття
Authors: Шеретюк Валерій , Пальчевський Руслан , Карпухіна Тетяна 
Published: January 2025

Актуальність. Фактор переплетіння питань політичних та релігійних виходить за рамки окремих історичних періодів чи історії окремих держав. Так, з початку підпорядкування України Московській державі другої половини ХVІІ ст. конфесійне питання стало одним з головних факторів вкорінення окупаційної влади. Активне просування російських наративів через московську церкву в Україні стало одним із факторів, який призвів до війни 2014 р.
Мета статті полягає у з’ясуванні дійсних причин активізації Російською імперією у 1762-1764 роках питання захисту прав православної церкви в Правобережній Україні у політичних відносинах з Річчю Посполитою.
Результати полягають у виявленні елементів маніпуляції Російською імперією так званим «питанням дисидентів» (захист прав та привілеїв православної церкви в Речі Посполитій) у політичних відносинах з королівським двором з метою політичного впливу, тиску, можливості тактичного загострення двосторонніх відносин та прикриття перед Європою реалізації свого плану політичного підпорядкування Польщі.
Висновки. Російський уряд, розглядаючи сейми 1764 р. як сприятливий період для підпорядкування Речі Посполитої своєму політичному контролю, використовував «питання дисидентів» як привід для втручання у внутрішні справи Польщі, засіб претензійності та психологічного тиску на польське керівництво. Акцентування уваги на конфесійному питанні, як головному предметі російсько-польських суперечностей в умовах краху політичних планів Росії на коронаційному сеймі, дозволяло Петербургу зберегти за собою право на подальше втручання у внутрішні справи Речі Посполитої під зручним приводом захисту єдиновірців. Така політика імперії призвела до загострення міжконфесійних відносин в Правобережній Україні.
Політичний менеджмент та національна безпека: перспектива інституційних альянсів
Authors: Сергеєв Вячеслав , Загурська-Антонюк Вікторія , Пащенко Віктор 
Published: January 2025

Актуальність. Вивчаються особливості національні безпекові пріоритети, які формують запит на стабільність безпекового середовища, що характеризується підвищенням чутливості до ризиків та загроз з боку позасистемних деструктивних акторів. Встановлюється значення політико-управлінських об’єднань, які складаються з урядових органів, міжнародних організацій, неурядових організацій (НУО) і представників приватного сектора, відіграють ключову роль у пом’якшенні криз і сприянні довгостроковому відновленню.
Метою дослідження є встановлення особливостей формування інституційних альянсів та кризових публічних комунікацій в контексті розвитку інтеграції політичного менеджменту та системи національної безпеки.
Результати. Обговорюється залучення зацікавлених сторін, яке допомагає розширити базу підтримки для втручання в кризові ситуації та гарантує, що реагування буде всеосяжним. У статті вивчаються практики просування спеціалізованого безпекового знання, зокрема в таких сферах, як охорона здоров’я, освіта та права людини, яке надає здатність швидко мобілізувати суспільство у часи кризи. З’ясовуються особливості міжінституційної політичної співпраці. Розкрито основи багатосторонньої організації безпекового менеджменту, зокрема, висування умов для надання фінансової допомоги, гарантування, спрямування коштів на необхідні реформи. Вивчаються домінуючі інституційні актори, які можуть нав’язувати свої плани іншим, відкидаючи локальні потреби чи досвід.
Висновки. Виявлено роль міжнародних політико-інституційних альянсів, які допомогли Україні захистити себе, а також підготуватися до довгострокового відновлення. Наголошено на можливостях апробації алгоритмів швидкого реагування та пошуку оптимальних альтернатив в умовах дефіциту часу і ресурсів під час російсько-української війни. З’ясовується значення забезпечення інклюзивності та загальнонаціонального консенсусу на основі мирного порядку денного.
