Гераклид Понтийский. Фрагменты и свидетельства («О болезнях, или О бездыханной», Фр. 82–95 Schütrumpf)
Authors: Афонасин Е.В. 
Published: February 2025

Платоник Гераклид Понтийский (ок. 388-310 гг. до н. э.) был известен в античности в качестве автора философских диалогов, в которых (как, впрочем, и в сочинениях иных жанров) он обсуждал такие типично платонические темы, как небесное путешествие души, вопросы, связанные с политикой, литературой и географией. Ему принадлежал ряд работ по астрономии и философии природы, а также философские биографии. Ничего не сохранилось. Настоящая публикация представляет собой комментированный перевод фрагментов одного из самых известных его диалогов «О болезнях, или Бездыханная». Перевод основан на новом издании фрагментов Гераклида Schütrumpf et al. 2008.
Heraclides of Pontus (c. 388-310 BCE), a Platonic philosopher, worked in various literary genres, esp. dialogue. He discussed such typical Platonic topics as the transmigration of the soul, composed philosophical lives, dialogues or treaties about politics, literature, history, geography, etc., and wrote a series of works on astronomy and the philosophy of nature. Nothing is preserved. The present publication contains a collection of the testimonies about Heraclides’ lost dialogue On diseases, or the one without breath (Apnous). The evidences are translated and numbered according to a new edition by Schütrumpf et al. 2008.

Effect of heat treatment time on mechanical behavior of Ti-6Al-4V
Authors: Aghdam Milad Zolfipour , Rouholamini Amir Reza 
Published: February 2025

The object of research: Ti-6Al-4V is a two-phase alloy characterized by an hcp (hexagonal close-packed) structure known as the α-phase and a bcc (body-centered cubic) structure known as the β-phase. At room temperature, this alloy primarily consists of the α-phase, but heat treatment can convert this dominant phase to the β-phase, especially at temperatures exceeding 800 °C.
Investigated problem: The current study aims to investigate the effect of heat treatment time on the mechanical behavior of Ti-6Al-4V, particularly for short treatment durations. A total of 12 specimens were subjected to heat treatment for 10, 20, and 40 minutes at temperatures of 850 °C, 900 °C, 950 °C, and 1000 °C, followed by water quenching. The small punch test was then employed to assess the mechanical properties of the treated specimens.
The main scientific results: The results indicated that at 850 °C and 900 °C, increasing the heat treatment time led to a slight enhancement in mechanical properties. Notably, when the specimens were heated at 950 °C for 10 minutes, a significant improvement in mechanical properties was observed. However, extending the heat treatment to 20 and 40 minutes at this temperature resulted in a deterioration of these properties. A similar detrimental effect was noted for all durations when the specimens were treated at 1000 °C.
The area of practical use of the research results: According to this results heat treatment time is crucially important and components without a well heat treatment should not be used for industrial purposes.
Innovative technological product: The study results are crucial for designers to optimize industrial component design. Utilizing these findings, various sensors can also be developed for numerous applications.
Scope of the innovative technological product: This study is beneficial for mechanics, electronics engineers, and relevant companies.
Prediction of the bedload transport rate in vegetated rivers based on turbulent kinetic energy

Published: February 2025

ABSTRACT

Aquatic vegetated habitats are disappearing rapidly, and restoration projects are crucial for maintaining their ecological functions. The success of these projects hinges on the ability to retain sediment, necessitating a comprehensive understanding of sediment transport in vegetated areas. Therefore, this study builds a model based on the flow turbulent kinetic energy near the riverbed to predict bedload transport. The turbulent kinetic energy in the model comprises turbulent terms generated by the riverbed and vegetation, which can be further divided into a shear turbulent term induced by the velocity difference and a stem turbulent term induced by the vegetation stem. The experimental data confirmed that turbulent kinetic energy can predict the bedload transport rate more effectively than bed shear stress. The average relative error of the predicted bedload transport based on bed shear stress was within 632%, and the average relative error of the predicted value based on turbulent kinetic energy was within 97%. When the dimensionless submerged vegetation density was less than a threshold, the bedload transport rate increased with increasing vegetation density. These findings yield crucial insights into the interaction mechanisms among vegetation, flow, and sediment and provide a promising direction for predicting sediment transport in the future.
Development and evaluation of L-THIA sub-daily flow and water quality prediction model
Authors: Lee Gwanjae , Lee Seoro , Lim Kyoung Jae 
Published: February 2025

ABSTRACT
This study presents the development and evaluation of the L-THIA sub-daily flow/water quality (WQ) model for predicting hourly flow and WQ. The curve number for Green–Ampt (CN4GA) method was enhanced by integrating an asymptotic curve number (CN) approach and optimizing effective hydraulic conductivity (Keff) to calculate sub-daily surface runoff. The model is linked with baseflow, channel routing, and WQ modules for comprehensive hydrological simulations. Performance was assessed using the coefficient of determination (R²), Nash–Sutcliffe efficiency (NSE), and percent bias (PBIAS). For flow calibration, the model achieved R2 values of 0.69 and 0.61, NSE values of 0.65 and 0.61, and PBIAS values of −4.0 and 7.3 for the Bokha and Gap River watersheds, respectively. The model accurately predicted peak runoff during rainfall events. For WQ, R2 values ranged from 0.73 to 0.84 for total phosphorus (T-P) and suspended solids (SS), with NSE values between 0.59 and 0.74, indicating satisfactory performance. Discrepancies in simulating T-P and SS in the Bokha River, particularly in spring, may be due to unaccounted pollutant sources. Despite these limitations, the developed model, compatible with Quantum Geographic Information System (QGIS), shows promise as an effective tool for evaluating point and non-point source pollution in watersheds.
Weighted Blankets for Agitation in Hospitalized Patients with Dementia: Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial
Authors: Schenzel Holly A , Palmer Allyson K , Shah Neel B , Lawson Donna K , Fischer Karen M , Lapid Maria I , DeFoster Ruth E 
Published: February 2025

Background
There are limited therapies approved for the treatment of aggression and agitation in patients with dementia. While antipsychotics and benzodiazepines are commonly used, these medications have been associated with significant side effects and US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) boxed warnings. Weighted blankets have been associated with decreased anxiety and improved sleep. Weighted blankets are potentially a nonpharmacologic option to reduce agitation in hospitalized patients with dementia.

Objective
The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of weighted blankets on aggression and agitation in hospitalized patients with dementia.

Methods
A pilot study will be conducted on a total of 30 hospitalized patients with a documented clinical diagnosis of dementia and ongoing agitated behaviors admitted to a medicine or psychiatry service. Patients will be randomly allocated to receive either a weighted blanket for 3 nights or continued usual care. The primary outcome is the change in the observational version of the Cohen-Mansfield Agitation Inventory (CMAI-O) over the course of the 3-night study period. The secondary outcomes are changes in Edmonton Symptom Assessment System Revised (ESAS-r) and Clinical Global Impression (CGI) scores, hours of sleep, use of antipsychotics and benzodiazepines, and incidence of delirium. Identical study assessments will be completed for both the usual care and the weighted blanket study groups. At 5 study time points (baseline, postnight 1, postnight 2, postnight 3, and a final assessment 48-72 h after the last use of the weighted blanket), patients will be assessed with the CMAI-O, ESAS-r, and CGI tools. All assessments will be completed by the bedside nurse or patient care assistant caring for the patient each day. Within 2 to 4 weeks post discharge from the hospital, study coordinators will contact the patient’s legally authorized representative (LAR) to assess for continued use of the weighted blanket.

Results
Enrollment of participants began on April 23, 2023. As of November 2024, a total of 24 participants have been enrolled in the study. Baseline characteristics of enrolled participants will be analyzed and reported upon completion of enrollment. We anticipate completing data collection by March 2026.

Conclusions
The study will determine the effect of weighted blankets on agitation in hospitalized patients with dementia. Insights into the effect of weighted blankets on sleep will also be gained. The results of this study will be relevant in the setting of increasing numbers of older adults with dementia exhibiting agitation, leading to increased hospitalizations, caregiver burden, and health care costs.

Apdraudētais vairākums un pašpietiekamā minoritāte: integrācijas politikas galveno virzienu analīze Latvijā
Authors: Šūpule Inese 
Published: February 2025

Rakstā analizēta sabiedrības integrācijas politikas īstenošana un nācijas veidošanās procesi Latvijā laika posmā no 1989. līdz 2023. gadam, skatot to caur latviešu kā etnolingvistiskās grupas apdraudētības fenomena teorētisko perspektīvu. 90. gadu etnisko grupu situācijas raksturošanai pēc valsts neatkarības atgūšanas izmantota Kanādas profesores Marijas Makendrū piedāvātā teorētiskā pieeja, kur viņa aplūko dažādu grupu attiecības dihotomijā “apdraudētais vairākums” un “pašpietiekamā minoritāte” Beļģijas, Katalonijas, Kvebekas un Ziemeļīrijas gadījumu izpētē. Analīze atklāj, ka 90. gados valsts īstenotā politika bija vērsta uz latviešu valodas stiprināšanu un PSRS laikā izveidotās valodas hierarhijas maiņu. Uz to bija vērsti visi galvenie integrācijas jomā pieņemtie likumi: Valodas likums (1989), Pilsonības likums (1994), Izglītības likums (1998). Īstenotās integrācijas politikas rezultāti šajos trijos galvenajos virzienos (valodas politika, pilsonības politika, mazākumtautību izglītības politika) atklāj, ka latviešu valodas pozīcijas nostiprināšanas mērķis lielā mērā ir sekmīgi īstenots, jo latviešu valodas zināšanu pašnovērtējums mazākumtautību vidū ir uzlabojies, būtiski ir uzlabojusies mazākumtautību jauniešu latviešu valodas prasme. Arī nepilsoņu īpatsvars Latvijā ir būtiski samazinājies (no 27% līdz 9%), un pāreja uz izglītību tikai valsts valodā notiek un tiks pabeigta līdz 2025. gadam.
Impact of Capital Structure, Corporate Governance, Macroeconomic Factor on Financial Distress of Shariah Compliant Firms in Pakistan
Authors: Ur Rehman Hamood , Sapar Resul , Shah Muzafar 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
Purpose: Capital structure choice, corporate governance practices and the economic condition of the country are some of those factors that may influence the firm’s financial health. This study evaluates the effect of capital structure, corporate governance, and macroeconomic factors on firm financial distress of Shariah compliant firms in Pakistan.
Design: This empirical analysis contains 238 listed Shariah non-financial firms of Pakistan during the period of 2015 to 2022.
Findings: The study finds a negative linkage between capital structure, macroeconomic factor and firm financial distress of Shariah compliant firms. The corporate governance index is positively correlated with the firm’s financial distress.
Conclusion and Implications: The outcomes of this study have practical implications for managers, investors, authorities, and researchers. Managers should be aware of debt financing and governance practices because it is one of the major causes of firm financial distress. Managers should also embrace the financial position and governance structure as their top agenda because financial position and governance quality helps to establish good relationships with various stakeholders which helps to facilitate a firm’s access to alternative sources of finance and decrease the firm usage of debts, hence reducing the probability of firm financial distress. Investors should consider their financial position when making investment decisions because a strong financial position decreases default risk which serves as potential protection for investments.

Abstract

Background
Sarcopenia, defined by a loss of skeletal muscle mass and function, has been identified as a prevalent condition associated with poor clinical outcome among critically ill patients. This study aims to evaluate the impact of pre-existing sarcopenia on outcomes in critically ill patients with acute respiratory failure (ARF) due to COVID-19.

Material and Methods
A retrospective study was carried out on COVID-19 patients admitted to intensive care. Pre-existing sarcopenia was assessed using early CT scans. Clinical outcomes, including duration of high-flow oxygenation (HFO), mechanical ventilation (MV), length of hospital stay (LOS) and ICU mortality, were evaluated according to sarcopenia status.

Results
Among the studied population, we found a high prevalence (75 patients, 50%) of pre-existing sarcopenia, predominantly in older male patients. Pre-existing sarcopenia significantly impacted HFO duration (6.8 (+/−4.4) vs. 5 (+/−2.9) days; p=0.005) but did not significantly affect MV requirement (21 (28%) vs. 23 (37.3%); p=185), MV duration (7 vs. 10 days; p=0.233), ICU mortality (12 (16%) vs. 10 (13.3 %); p=0.644) or hospital LOS (27 vs. 25 days; p=0.509). No differences in outcomes were observed between sarcopenic and non-sarcopenic obese patients.

Conclusions
Pre-existing sarcopenia in critically ill COVID-19 patients is associated with longer HFO duration but not with other adverse outcomes. Further research is needed to elucidate the mechanisms and broader impact of sarcopenia on septic critically ill patient outcomes.

Abstract
This study explores the motivations of retail investors in Metaverse digital real estate, a rapidly evolving sector that fundamentally differs from traditional real estate investments. Using quantitative analysis and Principal Component Analysis (PCA), the research identifies key factors influencing investor behavior, including risk tolerance, technological literacy, and confidence in regulatory frameworks. The findings highlight the transformative role of advanced technologies such as AR, VR, and blockchain in shaping investment decisions, emphasizing their ability to enhance engagement, security, and monetization opportunities in virtual environments. Demographic trends reveal a dominance of younger, higher-income investors, driven by speculative growth opportunities and a preference for innovative, interactive platforms. Challenges such as security concerns, regulatory uncertainty, and the nascent nature of the digital ecosystem emerge as critical barriers to broader adoption. The study underscores the need for robust governance, enhanced digital trust, and adaptive investment strategies to unlock the full potential of the Metaverse real estate market. These insights offer a foundation for future research and policy-making, guiding stakeholders in navigating this dynamic digital frontier.

Published: February 2025

Background
Hypoxia-inducible factor prolyl hydroxylase inhibitors (HIF-PHIs) is a new therapy option for anemia in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients. We aimed to evaluate evidence from randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on HIF-PHIs for anemia in non-dialysis dependent (NDD)-CKD patients.

Materials and Methods
We searched three electronic databases (PubMed, CINAHL, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials databases), trial registries, and manually screened reference list. Two authors independently conducted screening, data extraction, and assessed risk of bias. We used RevMan 5.3 for meta-analysis using standard methods. Certainty of evidence was assessed by Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development, and Evaluations.

Results
We included 12 RCTs involving 8611 patients with anemia of kidney disease. The studies included roxadustat (n = 2), daprodustat (n = 3), molidustat (n = 3), vadadustat (n = 2), enarodustat (n = 1), and desidustat (n = 1). Desidustat and daprodustat reported no difference in the hemoglobin levels from baseline up to 24–52 weeks as compared to darbepoetin alpha [Mean Difference (MD): 0.09 g/dL (CI 95% 0.15–0.33); p = 0.46; 529 participants; low certainty evidence; and MD: 0.08 g/dL (CI 95% 0.08–0.08); p < 0.00001; two studies; 4089 participants; low certainty evidence, respectively]. Broadly, HIF-PHI molecules exhibited little difference when compared to other alternatives like erythropoietin stimulating agents (ESAs), but the evidence is not of high certainty.

Conclusion
Our meta-analysis provides evidence on the use of HIF-PHIs as an alternative to ESAs for anemia in NDD-CKDs.

Published: February 2025

Background
With significant advances in the understanding of transplant immunology and a reduction in rejection rates, significant improvements in kidney allograft survival have been seen. The problem of recurrent and denovo glomerular diseases after transplantation affecting graft outcomes remains and is poorly characterized. This study aimed to analyze the incidence, characteristics, and outcomes of glomerulonephritis (GN) after kidney transplant in the Indian subcontinent.

Materials and Methods
Data on patients who underwent kidney transplants in our hospital from 1971 to 2018 was analyzed. Patients who had biopsy proven glomerulonephritis after transplant were included in the study. Demographic factors, characteristics of glomerulonephritis after transplant, and patient and graft outcomes were studied.

Results
Post-transplant glomerulonephritis was seen in 177 out of 3630 (4.8%) patients. IgA nephropathy (IgAN) was the most common type, followed by focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) and thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA). Patients with IgAN and FSGS were younger, and native kidney disease was unknown in the majority (70% in IgAN and 40% in FSGS). Glomerulonephritis was the most common cause of graft loss. A serum creatinine level of ≥2 mg/dL at 1 year post-transplant was significantly associated with the risk of death and graft loss. In addition, the occurrence of glomerulonephritis within a year of transplant and cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection were found to be significant risk factors for death and graft loss, respectively.

Conclusion
Post transplant glomerulonephritis can significantly impact patient and graft outcomes. Understanding its etiology and pathogenesis is crucial to enabling its prevention and management and improving the outcomes of kidney transplantation.
КРЕМАЦИИ КРЫМСКОГО БАРБАРИКУМА. АРХЕОЛОГИЧЕСКАЯ КАРТА И СОВРЕМЕННОЕ СОСТОЯНИЕ ИСТОЧНИКА
Authors: Зайцев Ю.П. 
Published: February 2025

В работе представлена краткая характеристика всех памятников с кремациями, когда-либо обнаруженными на варварской территории Крыма в хроно логическом диапазоне VI в. до н. э. – V в. н. э. Рассмотрены основные моменты историографии, опубликован каталог всех известных объектов, насчитывающий 33 пункта, изложены выводы и наблюдения. Полученные результаты показывают непрерывное присутствие в Крыму обряда кремации начиная с эпохи поздней бронзы и до конца античной эпохи. Наибольшая его концентрация на всем протяжении рассмотренного периода связана с Юго-Западным Крымом, где на определенном этапе административно-политической и культурной доминантой становится Херсонес Таврический. Параллельно в Горном и Юго-Западном Крыму существует другой вариант обряда трупосожжения – коллективный и в каменных конструк циях, крайние датировки которого также охватывают VI в. до н. э. – III–IV вв. При этом материальная культура (вещевой набор) носителей обряда кремаций в Крыму на всех этапах ничем не отличалась от культуры приверженцев ингумаци онного способа погребения.
The paper provides an overview of all sites with cremations ever discovered in the barbarian area of Crimea in the chronological range of the 6th century BC – 5th cen tury AD. It examines main points of historiography, publishes a catalogue of all known sites which are 33 in total, and describes conclusions and observations. The results ob tained show continuous presence of the cremation rite in Crimea starting from the Late Bronze Age and ending with the final stage of the Classical period. Throughout this peri od, the highest concentration of cremations is linked to southwestern Crimea where at one point Chersonese became an administrative-political and cultural center. In parallel, an other cremation rite–collective cremation and cremation in stone constructions–prevailed in Mountainous Crimea and southwestern Crimea, it also existed in the 6th century BC – 3rd–4th centuries AD. At the same time during all stages the material culture (funeral offer ings) of the cremated individuals in Crimea did not differ from that of those who adhered to the inhumation burial rite.
