Published: December 2023

Abstract
We present a ground-motion parameter database for earthquakes recorded between 2000 and the end of 2022 in New Zealand, which was developed within the New Zealand National Seismic Hazard Model (NZ NSHM 2022) program. It comprises all the local events with moment magnitudes in the range Mw 3.5–7.8 for crustal seismicity and Mw 4–7.8 for subduction seismicity recorded by GeoNet strong-motion network. Out of 2809 events, 1598 (∼57.1%) were classified as crustal, 432 as interface (∼15.3%), 98 as outer-rise (3.5%), 597 as inslab (∼21.3%), and the rest are undetermined. Beside the information that GeoNet provides for each event, the source metadata also comprises moment tensor solutions and finite-fault source models compiled from the literature. Various distance measures are computed for each event–station pair, including estimates of rupture distance for sufficiently large events by incorporating finite-fault source models. More than 150,000 strong ground-motion records, within 500 km rupture distance, were processed using an automated algorithm that combines traditional processing algorithms and machine learning. Several intensity measures (i.e., smoothed and down-sampled Fourier spectral amplitudes, Arias intensity, cumulative absolute velocity, and duration measures) of the processed ground motions are presented in the database. Finally, the database includes station site parameters sourced directly from the 2022 NSHM compilation of Wotherspoon et al. (2022, 2023).

The article is devoted to the determination, systematization, and study of the system of Ecclesiastical Law sources. This is a necessary and primary task for understanding the content of ecclesiastical law and its establishment in the legal system of Ukraine.
The conducted analysis has given grounds to make up conclusions concerning the formal inequality and the subordination of some sources to others.
The Constitution provisions contains norms and principles relating to human rights and freedoms, defining Ukraine as a secular state and determine the positive duties of the state in the field of religion. The laws if Ukraine contains the large number of ecclesiastical legal norms regulating various aspects of state-confessional relations. Bylaws specify and detail the provisions of laws. Judicial law-making in the field of ecclesiastical law is manifested through the decisions of the European Court of Human Rights, which in Ukraine are considered the sources of law, through the decisions of the Constitutional Court of Ukraine, which revises laws for compliance with the constitution and fundamental values, as well as the decisions of the Supreme Court, the conclusions of which are binding not only for judicial bodies but also for all subjects of authority, which implement in their activities a legal act containing the relevant legal norm.

Aim: To investigate the effects of several sociodemographic conditions on adherence to spectacles treatment in adolescents.
Material and Methods: 10-19-year-old otherwise healthy adolescents who had been prescribed spectacles at least one year ago were included in this study. To quantitatively evaluate adherence to spectacles treatment, patients were asked to mark along a visual analog scale and the result was noted as an adherence score (AS). Sociodemographic conditions that have potential to affect adherence to spectacles treatment were questioned.
Results: This study includes 107 patients and the mean age of patients was 14.83 ± 2.75 years (10-19). The mean AS was 8.59 ± 2.21 (3-10) for mothers with a higher educational degree, and 6.85 ± 3.14 (0-10) for mothers with a lower educational degree (p =0.018). Similarly, the mean AS was 8.45 ± 2.40 (3-10) for fathers with a higher educational degree and 6.94 ± 3.08 (0-10) for fathers with a lower educational degree (p =0.033). According to logistic regression analysis, a higher educational degree in fathers was associated with 8 and more AS (odds ratio: 4.17, 95% confidence interval 1.14-15.25, and p =0.031). There was no significant difference in AS according to conditions regarding whether or not to use spectacles in a family and social environment (p >0.05, for all).
Conclusion: It was concluded that higher parental educational level is associated with higher adherence to spectacles treatment in adolescents.

Unidade e fragmentação do habitus
Authors: Silva Elizabeth , Miraldi Juliana , Abdalla Julia 
Published: December 2023

Este artigo examina a noção unitária de habitus presente nos primeiros trabalhos de Bourdieu e sua transformação ao longo da carreira sociológica do autor, acompanhando-a até as concepções posteriores de um conceito de habitus fragmentado para examinar a relacionalidade e as mudanças sociais contemporâneas. O percurso do conceito de habitus em Bourdieu mostra que as interações entre habitus e campo exigem um crescente trabalho de integração dos indivíduos conforme a vida social se torna mais diferenciada. O artigo argumenta em favor da necessidade da sociologia investir em análises de campo para avançar nas explorações do habitus e reconhecer a potencial flexibilidade do conceito. Sugere-se que a sociologia adote a noção psicanalítica de “posicionar-se nos espaços” (standing in spaces) (e noções associadas de “liminaridade” e experiências em posições intersticiais) para o desenvolvimento produtivo da noção de habitus fragmentado e para aprimorar propostas que veem o social com uma história passível de mudança pelos seres humanos.

AIM: To evaluate the etiological and demographic characteristics and treatment processes of patients with trauma-induced elevated intraocular pressure (IOP).
MATHERIAL AND METHOD: We retrospectively analysed 191 patients with elevated IOP after trauma between 1990 and 2018. Demographic characteristics, type of trauma, cause of glaucoma, lens status, visual acuity, IOP, other ocular findings, medical and/or surgical treatments and follow-up periods were recorded.
RESULTS: A total of 148 (77.5%) males and 43 (22.5%) females with a mean age of 29.68±19.47 years were analysed. Mean follow-up period was 158±23.73 months. The type of trauma was blunt in 171 patients (89.5%) and open in 20 patients (10.5%). The mean interval between trauma and IOP elevation was 78 days (3 days-5 years). Glaucoma was due to angle regression in 89 (46.6%), hyphema in 78 (40.8%), lens-related in 24 (12.6%) and other causes in 3 (1.54%) patients. Lens damage, lens-related IOP elevation and need for surgical intervention were more common after open injuries. 72% of the patients were able to achieve appropriate IOP with observation and medical treatment alone without surgery. Trabeculectomy was the most preferred effective surgical method in both trauma groups.
CONCLUSION: The development of glaucoma after ocular trauma is an essential factor affecting visual prognosis. Early diagnosis and treatment might be challenging in proportion to the severity of ocular involvement. However, not all IOP elevations may cause glaucomatous damage, transient IOP elevations could be monitored without medication. In our study, the frequency of posttraumatic IOP elevation was higher in men and young people. This might be related to more trauma exposure in the indicated population. Blunt traumas cause IOP elevation more frequently. In contrast, the need for glaucoma surgery is more frequent after open injuries. Angle recession is the most common cause of posttraumatic glaucuma. Therefore, angle assessment is necessary in all possible cases. The status of the lens after trauma will affect the prognosis and choice of surgery. Regular follow-up is crucial for the detection of secondary glaucoma since IOP elevation may develop in the late post-traumatic period.

Authors: Trach Volodymyr , Podvornyi Andrii , Zhukova Natalia 
Published: December 2023

Based on the modified Hu-Washizu variational principle, a three-dimensional system of homogeneous linearized differential equations of stability of non-thin anisotropic cylindrical shells is obtained. The anisotropy type of shells is characterized by one plane of elastic symmetry. Reducing the system to a one-dimensional one is carried out using the Bubnov-Gal'orkin method, which approximates the functions of unknown systems of equations along the generatrix and takes into account their periodicity in the circumferential direction. The numerical solution of the obtained one-dimensional system of equations is carried out using the discrete orthogonalization method.
The problem of stability of a non-thin anisotropic cylindrical shell for a different number of cross-laid composite layers against the action of axial pressure is solved. The nature of the dependence of critical forces on the number of layers is analyzed.

Published: December 2023

The issue of demining reservoirs, rivers and sea raids and ports, which is relevant for Europe during the period of active deployment of military confrontations on its territory, is considered. Only in the maritime territorial waters of Ukraine and in the water areas of its freshwater reservoirs and rivers, during the year of the war, the enemy laid up to a thousand different mines. Demining of the Ukrainian water spaces of the sea, reservoirs and rivers is an important social and economic problem, the solution of which does not tolerate delay and waiting for the full end of hostilities.
The purpose of the work is the development of principle schemes for optimizing the spatial movements of search and mine clearance vessels and the creation of algorithms for calculating the precise coordinates of the spatial location of floating, anchor and bottom mines by means of kinematic design.
The research methodology was the application of the theory of mapping coordinates and trajectories of spatial movements of moving objects by means of graphic geometry, taking into account the specifics and dynamic features of kinematic design.
A schematic diagram of the spatial location of search trawlers and UAVs or auxiliary search floats when searching for mines has been developed. Mathematical dependencies have also been established for the precise calculation of the coordinates of detected mines based on the data of the applied theory and kinematic design schemes. For the search for floating mines, the optimal trajectory of search movements of unmanned aerial vehicles along the Archimedean spiral is proposed. The optimal number of aircraft that search for floating mines at the same time has been determined. As one of the most effective options for the disposal of mines, their detonation with warheads dropped from an aerial liquidator drone has been proposed.
The main result of the study is the creation of a methodology for calculating the refined coordinates of the search for floating, anchor and bottom mines in combination with the optimization of the trajectories of the search movements of aerial and floating search vehicles along the Archimedean spiral. This ensures not only a 25-30% increase in surveyed and demined areas, but also a proportional saving of fuel due to a reduction in the number of crossings of search trawlers. It has been established that at speeds of spatial movements of search aircraft or auxiliary floating means of 5÷5.5 m/s, using the proposed search scheme, it is possible to survey up to 6 square kilometers of sea water area every hour. At the same time, it is possible to save up to a third of the cost of expensive fuel due to the reduction of movements of the trawler boat.

Severe Kawasaki disease with muscle weakness and urinary retention: A case report
Authors: Sang Yating , Luo Lili , Qiao Lina 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
Background
Kawasaki disease (KD) is an acute systemic immune vasculitis affecting multiple organs and systems in children, and is prevalent in children under 5 years of age. Myasthenia gravis is a rare manifestation of KD, and only 11 pediatric patients with KD combined with myasthenia gravis have been reported, of which evidence of myasthenia gravis was found in 2/3 of the patients, and 1/3 could not be explained by myasthenia gravis, the mechanism of which is still unclear.Cases of KD combined with urinary retention are even more rare, and there has been only 1 case report of KD combined with urinary retention in a child with no previous underlying disease.
Case presentation:
We report a 22-month-old Asian child with severe KD who initially presented with fever and muscle weakness in the lower extremities, which progressed to progressive muscle weakness in the extremities, followed by urinary and fecal retention and rapid onset of heart failure, respiratory failure and shock. The child developed coronary artery dilatation without the main clinical features of Kawasaki disease such as rash, conjunctival congestion, desquamation of the extremity endings, orofacial changes and enlarged lymph nodes in the neck. Muscle enzymes and electromyography were normal. Temperature gradually normalized and muscle strength recovered slightly after intravenous immunoglobulin. The child could be helped to walk after 1 week of aspirin combined with prednisone therapy.
Conclusions
We present the case of a 22-month-old child with severe KD. The child began with progressive muscle weakness in the extremities, followed by urinary and fecal retention, and rapidly developed heart failure, expiratory failure, and shock. Despite early failure to detect the disease, the child recovered rapidly and had a favorable prognosis. KD comorbidities with muscle weakness as the main manifestation are uncommon. This is the first case report of severe Kawasaki disease combined with both muscle weakness and rectal bladder dysfunction, which may provide clinicians with diagnostic and therapeutic ideas, as well as a basis for future exploration of the mechanisms of KD combined with muscle weakness or urinary retention.
Network analysis to trace the common key gene (s) involved in antihyperglycemic effects mediated through co-supplementation of Vitamin D and Metformin
Authors: Tyagi Sakshi , Mani Shalini 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
Metformin, an antihyperglycemic drug has been known for centuries as the first treatment for diabetes mellitus. Likewise, vitamin D is also recognized for its role in boosting insulin action and improving insulin sensitivity. There is also evidence supporting their combined effect as an antihyperglycemic agent. However, key genes associated with their combined antihyperglycemic effect have not been explored yet. Thus, our in-silico study aims to explore the key genes associated with metformin and VDR signaling that could aid in managing hyperglycemia as well as explore other health benefits. We have used a systems biology approach for the construction of the metformin-VDR network and it was found to be hierarchical scale-free in nature. The statistical parameters including node degree distribution, and clustering coefficient, were calculated. Out of the several prominent hubs, which served as the network's backbone and contained several critical regulators as well as potential target genes, we were able to identify a few key regulators. Modules with comparable functions were also identified. We found the top 14 key regulators namely G0S2, DDIT4, IL6, PRKAA1, EGFR, mTOR, PPARGC1A, CYBA, CYBB, NCF1, NCF2, NCF4, NOX1 and NOX3. While reviewing the function of these key genes and their association with vitamin D and/or metformin, most of these genes were analyzed to be involved in regulating glucose levels as well as alleviating hyperglycemia-induced inflammation and oxidative stress. Based on the prediction from our study, these key regulatory genes may be proposed to be involved in the combined antihyperglycemic effects of vitamin D and metformin. These genes mayfurther be explored as a probable therapeutic target for the management of diabetes as well as accompanying disorders.

Abstract
Antibiotics in agricultural soil can accumulate in crops and might pose a potential risk to human health. Nevertheless, there is a lack of knowledge about the impact of nitrogen fertilizers on the dissipation and uptake of antibiotics in soils. Therefore, our aim in this study is to investigate the effects of urea fertilizer on the residues of ciprofloxacin and its uptake by Chinese flowering cabbage (Brassica parachinensis L.) as affected by the associated changes on the soil microbial community. A pot experiment has been conducted using spiked soil with 20 mg ciprofloxacin /kg soil and fertilized with urea at dosages equal to 0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.8 t/ha. Application of urea at the three dosages, in particular at 0.4 t/ha, decreased the residue of ciprofloxacin in the soil and its uptake by the roots and its translocation to the shoots of Chinese flowering cabbage. The TFs for ciprofloxacin were significantly decreased (P < 0.05) only at the treatment of 0.4 t/ha, while no significant difference of BCFs. The average well color development (AWCD) values, Shannon diversity, and richness index were higher in the fertilized than the un-fertilized soils both in the planted and un-planted soils, and all such indicators were greater at the treatment of 0.4 t/ha than at 0.2 and 0.8 t/ha. The carbon substrate utilization of phenolic acids at the treatments of 0.4 t/ha were greater than with other levels of urea fertilizer. In conclusion, moderate urea addition significantly increased soil microbial activity and abundance, which in turn promoted the ciprofloxacin dissipationin soil and plant tissue. The present study provides an economical and operational for the remediation of ciprofloxacincontaminated soils.
Parametric Analysis of Sloshing Height in Concrete Liquid Storage Tanks: A FE-SPH Coupled Approach with Box-Behnken Design of Experiments
Authors: Soltani Pouya , Mirzabozorg Hassan 
Published: December 2023

Abstract

This study aims to investigate sloshing height in liquid storage tanks using a coupled FE-SPH technique. A novel approach employing the Box-Behnken method for efficient analysis design is introduced, ensuring the consideration of key parameters to obtain accurate results. The Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) formulation is utilized to simulate liquid behavior under large amplitude sloshing waves, while the finite element method models the structural response. The analysis reveals that fluid height is the primary geometric parameter affecting sloshing, with tank length considered a secondary factor. The frequency characteristics of ground motion significantly influence sloshing height, thereby impacting the liquid's behavior in the container. For future studies, we recommend focusing on the Box-Behnken design parameters: Acceleration Spectrum Intensity ASI and liquid tank height. This research provides valuable insights into optimizing the design and analysis of liquid storage tanks, paving the way for enhanced structural safety and performance.
A retrospective comparative study of double cleavage-stage embryo transfer versus single blastocyst in frozen-thawed cycles
Authors: Lim Yun Hsuen , Sim Poo Keen , Nadkarni Prashant 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
Background
This retrospective study aimed to compare the outcomes of Day 3 double embryo transfer (DET) with single blastocyst transfer (SBT) during frozen embryo transfer (FET) cycles. A total of 999 women below the age of 38 years who underwent FET at Malaysia’s KL Fertility & Gynaecology Centre from January 2019 to December 2021 were analysed. Patients with autologous eggs were recruited in the study. All the eggs were inseminated by intracytoplasmic sperm injection. The embryos were vitrified on Day 3 cleavage-stage or blastocyst stage with Cryotop® method. The FET were performed following natural cycle (NC), modified natural cycle (m-NC) or hormone replacement therapy (HRT) cycles. The NC and m-NC groups received oral dydrogesterone for luteal phase support.
Results
There were no statistical differences in the rates of positive pregnancy, clinical pregnancy and ongoing pregnancy between the two groups. However, implantation rates were significantly higher in the SBT group (50.1% versus 37.6%, p < 0.05). The Day 3 DET group had significantly higher multiple pregnancy rates (28.7% versus 1.1%, p < 0.05). Subgroup analysis of embryo transfers performed following NC, m-NC or HRT cycles showed similar results.
Conclusions
This study suggests that SBT is the better choice for embryo transfers as it had higher implantation rates and its pregnancy rates were similar to Day 3 DET. The SBT also significantly reduced the incidence of multiple pregnancies without compromising pregnancy rates.
