Study on the reliability of nano-silver-coated tin solder joints for flip chips
Authors: Yang Hui , Chen Wenhui 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
The nano-silver-coated tin (Sn@Ag) paste was modeled using the method of the Anand unified viscoplastic constitutive model and elastic model. After thermal cyclic loading, the plastic strain of the solder joints increased cumulatively, while the maximum equivalent stress remained basically stable. The simulation results show that the maximum displacement occurs at the solder joint at the farthest end from the center of the chip, which is a dangerous solder joint. Using the finite element method and EPRI (the American Electric Power Research Institute) estimation method, the fatigue life of the nano-silver-coated tin solder joint is predicted to be 616 weeks, which is significantly higher than that of the nano-silver solder joint. It is indicated that adding a certain amount of nano-tin to the nano-silver paste to form a core–shell structure can improve the shear strength of the solder joint and reduce the plastic strain, thereby significantly improving the reliability of the solder joint. It is proved by experiments that the nano-silver paste is feasible for flip–chip interconnection. The research on this topic provides experimental reference and theoretical basis for the application of a new generation of interconnection materials in power devices and promotes the development and application of microelectronic packaging technology.
Abduction in Animal Minds
Authors: Shumilina Vera 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
Following ideas of Ch. S. Peirce on continuity of mind (synechism) and universality of semiotic processes (pansemiotism) as well as development of the understanding of manipulative abduction in works of L. Magnani the thesis of possibility of abductive reasoning in non-human animal minds is defended. The animal capacity to form explanatory hypotheses is demonstrated by instances of grasping regularities in environment, behavior of conspecifics and even self-knowledge. In the framework of debate on instinctual or rather inferential nature of abductive capacity questions of innate and acquired mechanisms of learning, the role of language in development of explanations and priority of inner (emotional) or outer (referential) perspectives in genesis of first explanatory hypotheses are considered.
A Phenomenology of Closed Society in “The Drowned Girl” by Antanas Vienuolis: Anthropological Profiles
Authors: Levina Jūratė 
Published: December 2023

The inquiry formulates the fundamentals of the hermeneutics of narrative against the background of the history of reception of the work under examination, “The Drowned Girl” by Antanas Vienuolis, and draws on the relevant phenomenological descriptions and resources of structural analysis to foreground the operative mechanisms of closed society. Such mechanisms are foregrounded on three planes: (1) social, of the rules of relationships between people, which in the story constitute a hierarchal system of power relations modelled on the structure of the traditional family of the agricultural holding, (2) significative, comprising sense-making discourses (traditional customs and Christianity) whereby the culture, in this story, configures the world without transcending corporeally perceivable horizons of the actually lived present, and (3) anthropological, where sociocultural praxis and self-perception are grounded in the essentially unhuman nature which the culture tries to assimilate and erase without recognising its essential otherness. This threefold configuration emerges at the crossroad of the (author’s and reader’s) Modern and (the represented) archaic cultural self-conceptions, which produces the conflict of interpretations and facilitates both the cathartic effect and the ongoing process of sense-making. All these configurations are derived from the story’s poetics, simultaneously exposing the discursive operative mechanisms of closed society.
Impact of home factors on students' reading achievements

Published: December 2023

On the basis of PIRLS 2001 data, we consider the impact of factors characterizing the home situation of students to their reading literacy achievements. The data was analyzed for three groups of countries: Eastern Europe, ``Northern'', and English-speaking countries. Parents' education, home educa­tional resources, and early home literacy activities have a similar influence in all these groups of countries, while the financial well-being of the family and the type of location of a school have rather different influ­ences in the groups.

The role of radiation therapy in the treatment of early-stage skin cancer
Authors: Sayfutdinova М. B. 
Published: December 2023

Introduction. Radiation therapy remains one of the main methods of radical treatment of early-stage skin cancer. Its position in combination and comprehensive treatment has changed significantly as improvements of radiotherapy techniques and introduction of modern technologies led to increased effectiveness and comfort of the method and allowed to achieve better prognostic outcomes.Aim. To evaluate the role of radiotherapy in treatment of patients with early-stage skin cancer (T1–2N0M0).Materials and methods. A retrospective and prospective analyses of data from 1049 patients with early-stage skin cancer were performed. In 527 (50.23 %) cases, the tumor was localized mainly on the head and neck: 48 % of patients had nonkeratinizing squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, 7.59 % of patients had keratinizing squamous cell carcinoma, 44.41 % of patients had basal cell carcinoma.Results. Data from 527 patients (51.04 % man and 48.96 % women) with early-stage skin cancer (T1–2N0M0) who received treatment and are registered at the Republican Oncological Scientific Center of the Ministry of Health and Social Protection of the Tajikistan Republic were analyzed. The disease was more common in patients aged between 60 and 90 years. The main factor in stage determination was tumor size in accordance with the Tumor, Nodus and Metastasis (TNM) classification. In 240 (46.54 %) patients, the size of primary tumor was less than 2 cm in the largest diameter (T1N0M0), in 287 (54.46 %) patients its maximal size was between 2 and 4 cm (T2N0M0). Selection of treatment method was mainly based on morphological characteristics and location of the tumor. In 121 (50.42 %) patients with skin cancer T1N0M0, radiation therapy was performed as monotherapy in a radical program; in 88 (36.37 %) patients in combination with cobalt therapy and surgery; in 23 (9.59%) patients in combination with cobalt therapy, polychemotherapy and surgery; in 8 (3.41%) patients in combination with cobalt therapy and polychemotherapy.The capabilities of radiation therapy both as monotherapy and in combination with other treatment methods before and after surgical treatment present ample opportunities for clinicians to achieve good outcomes. The use of radiation therapy as monotherapy in a radical program in patients with T1N0M0 stage skin cancer is effective in 96.4 % of cases, in patients with stage T2N0M0 the effectiveness can reach 91.2 %.Conclusion. Radiation therapy can be successfully used in treatment of early-stage skin cancer along with other methods. Its use both independently and as part of combination and comprehensive therapy allows to achieve reliable treatment outcomes. Adequate selection of radiation therapy option in treatment of early-stage skin cancer is the key to longterm clinical remission and improvement of patients’ quality life.

Introduction. Canine osteosarcoma is a most common bone tumor in dogs, usually involving long tubular bones lesion. Limb-sparing treatment method allows to save extremity functionality and sufficiently improve quality of life in comparison with amputation.Aim. To analyze the survival rates and local results after limb-sparing treatment of canine osteosarcoma using bio-implantation – de-immunized allogenic bone populated with recipient stromal mesenchymal cell preparation.Materials and methods. Group of 25 dogs underwent a combined treatment including cisplatinum chemotherapy (60–70 mg/m2 intravenously infusion at 14–21 day intervals, up to 4 cycles) and wide segmental resection of the affected bone with a bioimplant defect replacement. Overall survival, progression-free survival and local recurrence frequency in the group were analyzed.Results. Overall survival median was 321 day, and progression-free median was 222 days. 4 (16,6 %) cases of local relapse were recorded, 2 of which were confirmed by radiography and histological examination, and 2 other by radiography only.Conclusion. Efficiency of the canine appendicular osteosarcoma combined limb-sparing treatment is comparable with amputation practice results (according to scientific literature) while foregoing method is preferable due to higher life quality of patients.
JointNet: A Multimodal Deep Learning-Based Approach for Joint Inversion of Rayleigh Wave Dispersion and Ellipticity

Published: December 2023

ABSTRACT
Joint inversion of multitype datasets is an effective approach for high-precision subsurface imaging. We present a new deep learning-based method to jointly invert Rayleigh wave phase velocity and ellipticity into shear-wave velocity of the crust and uppermost mantle. A multimodal deep neural network (termed JointNet) is designed to analyze these two independent physical parameters and generate outputs, including velocity and layer thicknesses. JointNet is trained using random 1D models and corresponding synthetic phase velocity and ellipticity, resulting in a low cost for the training dataset. Evaluation using synthetic and observed data shows that JointNet produces highly comparable results compared to those from a Markov chain Monte Carlo-based method and significantly improves inversion speed. Training using synthetic data ensures its generalized application in various regions with different velocity structures. Moreover, JointNet can be easily extended to include additional datatypes and act as a joint inversion framework to further improve imaging resolution.

Published: December 2023

Multi-criteria (vector) optimization involves finding a set (Pareto area) of acceptable solutions. You usually only need to choose one of them. Since the points of the Pareto set are formally incomparable, in order to solve the problem, it is fundamentally necessary to involve information about the preferences of the person making the decision. When solving a specific problem of vector optimization, the decision-maker creates his own model of the objective function (utility function) according to his preferences. Thus, the solution of multi-criteria problems is subjective in nature. The article proposes a formalized method for solving multi-criteria problems.
A model of multi-criteria optimization is obtained, which allows the object to realize all the goals set in the entire range of possible situations. A systematic approach to the problem of vector optimization made it possible to combine models of individual trade-off schemes into a single integral structure that adapts to the situation of making a multi-criteria decision. The advantage of the concept of a non-linear trade-off scheme is the possibility of making a multi-criteria decision formally, without the direct participation of a person. At the same time, on a single ideological basis, both tasks that are important for general use, and those which main content essence is the satisfaction of individual preferences of decision makers, are solved. The apparatus of the nonlinear trade-off scheme, developed as a formalized tool for studying systems with conflicting criteria, makes it possible to practically solve multi-criteria problems of a wide class.

Published: December 2023

Background: Spinal Anesthesia Induced Hypotension(SAIH) continues to be the troublesome complication for obstetric patients undergoing cesarean section under subarachnoid block. Vasopressors are emerging as the cornerstone of treating SAIH in cesarean section patients with the evolving evidence of arterial vasodilatation as the primary cause of hypotension. This study was hypothesized to compare the efficacy of norepinephrine and ephedrine boluses to maintain hemodynamics in cesarean section.
Methods: After approval from institutional ethics committee and registration in Clinical Trials Registry India(CTRI ) and informed consent, study was conducted in 110 healthy parturients aged 18-40 years, belonging to ASA physical status I and II, posted for elective cesarean section under spinal anesthesia, were randomly allocated into group N(n=55) and group E(n=55),who received intravenous boluses of norepinephrine 6 g and ephedrine 10mg respectively as prophylaxis(one dose soon after induction) and in treatment of SAIH. The number of vasopressor boluses were recorded as primary objective and hemodynamics, APGAR scores, adverse events were noted.
Results: The number of boluses of vasopressor used was 1.9±1.2 for Ephedrine and 4.72±2.9 for Norepinephrine. At 30,40,50 and 60 minutes after anesthesia, there was significant fall in mean arterial pressure in the norepinephrine group compared to ephedrine group. The incidence of tachycardia was more in ephedrine group and incidence of bradycardia was more in norepinephrine group.
Conclusion: Both the study drugs, ephedrine and norepinephrine are comparably effective in preventing SAIH after prophylactic bolus and effective in maintaining blood pressure intraoperatively, more number of boluses of norepinephrine was required compared to ephedrine.

During the past decade there has been a dramatic increase in the number of cosmetic surgery procedures. This increase has in turn piqued the interest in the psychological aspects of this newly popular procedure.
The aim of the current study was to ascertain psychosocial factors expected to predict an interest in cosmetic surgery. For this purpose, we compared the results obtained by two groups of research on the following psychological variables: body images, self-esteem, appearance anxiety, subjective happiness, life satisfaction. The first group (surgery group -SG) was composed of 72 participants recruited from a private plastic surgery clinic in Bucharest, Romania. The second group (non-surgery group -NSG) was selected from the general population who are not willing to perform cosmetic surgery now or at any time soon. Individuals/participants were split into two homogeneous groups according to age, marital status, gender and education level. The data was analysed using correlation and multiple regression in order to identify any possible relationships between the variables, as well as find the best predictor for the likelihood of undergoing cosmetic surgery.
Analyses revealed self-esteem, overweight preoccupation, body satisfaction, subjective happiness and marital status significantly predicted higher levels of self-reported of acceptance aesthetic interventions. Self-esteem and body image were the strongest predictors of cosmetic surgery motivation. This information can help elucidate the psychological characteristics of individuals who are interested into and looking for cosmetic surgeries and significantly focus upon the relevance of the preliminary interview for patient screening when it comes to cosmetic
Mental Health and Environmental Coping Mechanisms of the Diabetic Patient and Implications on Hospitalization Duration

Published: December 2023

Introduction. Mental health is a state of emotional, psychological and social well-being, where the individual manages to successfully manage daily life, valuing himself and others, while being socially integrated, happy and fulfilled.
Adaptability to the environment is the ability of the person or organism to adjust, to transform, according to the changes and demands of the environment. These skills require learning from experiences, finding creative solutions and developing the ability to cope with stressors. Integration into the environment requires constant personal development. Unfortunately, we live in times when the environment is changing at a speed that is difficult for the human body and psyche to manage and follow.
Material and method. In this study, part of a larger study, 80 diabetic patients aged between 19 and 70 years were included. The longitudinal research period was 2015-2022, following the number of days of hospitalization and the length of hospitalization for each hospitalization in “Sf. Ap. Andrei” Emergency Clinical Hospital Galati. The patients, in compliance with data protection and legislation in force, were administered a psychological questionnaire tracking their adaptability to the environment and their rational and irrational beliefs in relation to life. The data were centralized and analysed in the SPSS statistical software, looking for correlations between psychological aspects and hospitalization duration/frequency, assuming that patients with significant test results are patients suffering from diagnosed or not yet diagnosed psychosomatic disorders.
Conclusions. The results of the questionnaire and the anamnesis revealed that most of the patients had irrational beliefs and attitudes towards themselves, others and life, completely dysfunctional. Extrapolating that these patients also have psychosomatic disorders, we can state that the statistical results obtained predict that a person with psychosomatic disorders will have more frequent presentations to the doctor, while each hospitalization will be longer than that of patients with the same pathology, without associated psychosomatic disorders.
In this sense, both the correlations obtained and the linear regression with predictive value, force us to think in the long term and bring to light the need to implement a diagnostic tool at the disposal of the diabetologist, internist and emergency physician, for further collaboration with the psychiatric physician, all for the ultimate good of the patient.
REASON AS A SOURCE OF ISLAMIC LAW: Epistemological Approach
Authors: A'yun Sufyan Qurrotul , Mohammad Sugi Hartono  
Published: December 2023

ABSTRACT The existence of reason in humans is a privilege given by Allah SWT. Humans with their intellect can think, do reasoning, and appreciate all of Allah's creations. Qur’an as a source of basic material in Islamic law provides a large portion of the use of human reason. The method used in this research was library research. The background to the recognition of the role of reason is the fact that the development of social life is followed by various life problems whose answers cannot be found in translation in the Qur’an or Hadith. The results of this study indicate that, first, reason is the power of thought which when used can lead a person to understand the problem he is thinking about. Second, reason functions as a tool for thinking, contemplating, experiencing, and developing intelligent concepts and ideas, very closely related to education. Therefore, reason in its implication towards the goals of Islamic education greatly determines the success or failure of a person in achieving the goals of Islamic education. ABSTRAK Keberadaan akal pada manusia merupakan keistimewaan yang diberikan Allah swt. Manusia dengan akal yang dimilikinya dapat berpikir, melakukan penalaran, dan penghayatan terhadap segala ciptaan Allah swt. Al-Qur’an sebagai sumber materi pokok dalam hukum Islam memberikan porsi yang besar terhadap penggunaan akal pikiran manusia. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah studi kepustakaan. Latar belakang dari diakuinya peranan akal ini merupakan kenyataan berkembangnya kehidupan masyarakat yang diikuti oleh berbagai permasalahan hidup yang tidak ditemui jawabannya secara harfiah dalam Al-Qur’an maupun Al-Hadits. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa, pertama, akal adalah daya pikir yang bila digunakan dapat mengantarkan seseorang untuk memahami dan memahami masalah yang sedang dipikirkannya. Kedua, akal berfungsi sebagai alat berpikir, merenung dan mengalami serta mengembangkan konsep dan gagasan yang cemerlang, sangat erat hubungannya dengan pendidikan. Maka akal dalam implikasinya terhadap tujuan pendidikan Islam sangat menentukan berhasil atau tidaknya seseorang dalam mencapai tujuan pendidikan Islam.
