HEART RATE VARIABILITY AS A MARKER OF MAXIMUM PHYSICAL LOAD IN PEOPLE WITH OBESITY
Authors: LISUN Y. , YEVSIEIEVA V.V. , POLYUKHOVICH L.M. 
Published: August 2023

Introduction. Heart rate variability (HRV) and the autonomic nervous system are essential indicators of assessing the body's functional state. Physical activity and obesity, which are current problems of modern society, affect these indicators, but research on the relationship between them is limited.
Purpose: to determine the maximum level of physical activity in obese people in the preoperative period.
Materials and methods. A group of obese individuals who were scheduled for weight loss surgery were involved. The participants performed special tests and physical exercises that allowed them to determine their maximum level of physical exertion. Using a step test, which included walk-up stairs to complete exhaustion, indicators of heart rate variability, heart rate, and recovery time after exercise were recorded.
Results. Based on the analysis of the obtained data, it was established that overweight patients can tolerate a high level of physical exertion without significant changes in heart rate variability and blood pressure. At the same time, in obese patients, there is a decrease in exercise tolerance and heart rate variability, which requires introducing a safe level of physical activity into preoperative preparation with monitoring of the patient's general well-being.
Conclusion. Obese people are characterized by a low level of physical activity, which complicates preoperative preparation and prolongs its duration

Objectives. This research investigation was done to study the relationship between mental health and self-esteem with academic achievement among Sri Lankan youths.
Method. The sample for this study was selected using purposive sampling from educational institutions of Ampara District, Sri Lanka. The total number of samples was 516. The age range of the participants in this study was from 16 to 24 years old (mean age: 19.2 years old). Standard tools were used for data processing, such as the Mental Health Scale developed by Kamlesh Sharma and the Rosenberg’s Self-Esteem Scale. Further, academic achievement was measured using secondary data, such as semester marks list of youth from schools, colleges and universities. The personnel information plan created by the researcher was used to collect information along with relevant demographic and social data. The pretested questionnaire was reliable, being validated before the final data collection. The data analysis method was developed in this study. The informants were contacted individually by the investigator, and the data were obtained through questionnaires. Data retention is limited to a period of three months.
Results. A statistical analysis, using the t-test, ANOVA, correlations and regressions, was performed. The result revealed that, out of eight demographic variables in this study, five variables (i.e., age, locality, father’s education, parent’s income and type of family) were in a significant correlation with mental health of youths and, also, only two variables (i.e., locality and type of family) were in significant correlation with the self-esteem of the youths. Further results revealed that, out of eight demographic variables in this study, seven variables (i.e., age, gender, locality, father’s education, mother’s education, parent’s income and type of family) had a significant correlation with the academic achievement of youths.
Conclusions. The results indicated that there is a significant positive relationship between mental health and self-esteem with the academic achievements of youths.

Objective: This study aimed to determine the effect of stress levels of prenatally diagnosed or contacted pregnant women on anxiety and depression symptoms in the postpartum period and compare them with those who had a healthy pregnancy period.
Materials and Methods: This internet-based longitudinal study was conducted with pregnant women with COVID-19(+) (n=91), contact with COVID-19(+) (n=74), and healthy pregnant women (n=220).
Results: Severe anxiety was found in 51.4% of COVID-19(+) pregnant women, and depression was found in 28.7%. NuPDQ and BAI mean scores of positive pregnant women were higher than contact and healthy pregnant women. When the EPDS score averages were compared, it was determined that the postpartum period mean scores of those who were positive during pregnancy and were in contact were higher than those of healthy pregnant women. There is a positive correlation between the psychological effects of pregnant women from COVID-19 and social isolation and NuPDQ (r=0.316, r=0.279), BAI (r=0.337, r=0.293) and EPDS (r=0.333, r=0.311) respectively relationship was determined.
Conclusion: Our results point to the need to provide urgent psychosocial support in the postpartum period to women who were diagnosed and/or had contact with COVID-19 during pregnancy.
PRACTICAL IMPLEMENTATION OF NEUROMARKETING IN DIFFERENT BUSINESS INDUSTRIES: CHALLENGES AND TRENDS
Authors: Sevic Nevenka Popovic 
Published: August 2023

Abstract Over the last decade, new technological progress has enabled the researchers to use neuroscience not only for scientific but also for marketing studies, so they can explore, at the same time, conscious and unconscious drivers of consumer behaviour in real daily situations. Applying brain science to consumer behaviour, neuromarketing—a new innovative marketing research discipline—examines consumers’ response (sensory, motor, and cognitive) to advertising stimuli. This article focuses on three key areas: literature review, challenges and limitations of neuromarketing, and neuromarketing trends, with several concrete real-life examples in different business industries. Practical challenges and limitations within the neuromarketing research, such as ethics, accessibility, costs and timing, but also side effects, are discussed. At the end, this article emphasizes many practical implementations of neuromarketing in different business branches, with the adoption of academic and scientific neuroscience researches to commercial purposes.
Model-Model Kebersamaan Lingkungan: Mewujudkan Persaudaraan Gerejawi
Authors: Laksono Andreas Agung Bowo , Tedjoworo Hadrianus 
Published: August 2023

The Catholic Church in Indonesia views the parochial lingkungan as a community of believers who live in a nearby neighbourhood, practicing fraternity, supporting and enriching one another in their life and ministry. The activities and meetings in the lingkungan are a means for the faithful to establish fraternal relations through shared faith experiences and joint ministries. However, the lingkungan members’ participation in such activities and meetings might decrease due to certain difficulties, and this situation can interfere with the effort of realising their ecclesial communion and fraternity. In this article, the issue of the faithful’s decrease of participation in lingkungan is addressed by offering some models of togetherness inspired by the Scriptures and the Church documents such as Evangelii Gaudium and Fratelli Tutti. The models offered refer to some important aspects as personal encounter, everyday conversation, and sharing of life. Each model explores a different point of view to develop some ways of building togetherness among the faithful in the lingkungan. These models are considered flexible as they can be (re)interpreted according to the relevant challenges and are complementary in their character. Models offered in this article can be seen as alternatives to the existing practices of meeting and catechesis in the parochial lingkungan. They also can help lingkungan administrators and their members participate more actively in realising the ecclesial communion and the Christian fraternity among themselves.

Crossroads: The Meetings of Korea and the World Through Pilgrimage Routes
Authors: Rausch Franklin 
Published: August 2023

The history of Catholicism in Korea is complex – it can be seen as connected negatively to Western imperialism or positively to modernity. This paper will explore how Korean Catholics have sought to build a positive image for their faith through Catholic holy sites in a large part by utilizing the legitimacy of international religious and secular authorities. In particular, it will examine the three international pilgrimage routes recognized by the Vatican after Pope Francis’ 2014 visit to Korea; Haemi, the internationally recognized site famous for its large number of ‘nameless martyrs’; Solmoe, the birthplace of the first Korean priest and UNESCO-sponsored events associated with it; and Puŏnggol, the site of a seminary led by French missionary priests.
The Dialectics of Hope and Despair
Twisting the Biblical Message in Lu Xun’s “Medicine”
Authors: De Grandis Mario 
Published: August 2023

Lu Xun’s oeuvre includes numerous explicit references to the Christian message, the books of the Bible, Jesus and other biblical characters, which all prove the author’s intellectual familiarity with Christianity. Previous studies have also pointed out that in the short story “Medicine”, Lu Xun surreptitiously embedded characters and allusions – as well as adopted a narrative structure – inspired by the Gospel accounts of the Passion. Such Christian references have been interpreted as a literary strategy to reflect on the Chinese national character. What has gone unnoticed is that, despite several parallels, “Medicine” also deviates from accounts of the Passion in three significant ways: the martyr is not the protagonist; the conclusion is deliberately ambiguous; and the story is stripped of, and yet longing for, the salvific message pervading the Gospels. In this article, I argue that the twisted, allegorical references to the Passion express one of Lu Xun’s paramount preoccupations, namely whether it is worth to sacrifice oneself in the attempt to awaken the masses. In this way, the transfigured figure of Jesus becomes the narrative locus on which Lu Xun expresses his interior vacillation between hope and despair.
Phenomenology of AI-Generated "Entity Encounter" Narratives
Authors: Houran James , Laythe Brian 
Published: August 2023

Objective: We used the ChatGPT-3.5 artificial intelligence (AI)-based language program to compare twelve types of mystical, supernatural, or otherwise anomalous entity encounter narratives constructed from material in the publicly available corpus of information, and compared their details to the phenomenology of spontaneous accounts via the Survey of Strange Events (SSE) and the grounded theory of Haunted People Syndrome (HP-S). Methods: Structured content analysis by two independent and masked raters explored whether the composite AI-narratives would: (a) cover each encounter type, (b) map to the SSE’s Rasch hierarchy of anomalous perceptions, (c) show an average SSE score, and (d) reference the five recognition patterns of HP-S. Results: We found moderate evidence of a core encounter phenomenon underlying the AI-narratives. Every encounter type was represented by an AI-generated description that readily mapped to the SSE, albeit their contents showed only fair believability and low but generally positive correlations with each other. The narratives also corresponded to below-average SSE scores and referenced at least one HP-S recognition pattern. Conclusions: Prototypical depictions of entity encounter experiences based on popular source material certainly approximate, yet not fully match, the phenomenology of their real-life counterparts. We discuss the implications of these outcomes for future studies.

Paradigm Shift of Statistical Big Data in Healthcare: Management, Analysis and Future Prospects
Authors: Dila Ram Bhandari  , Ron Kenett  
Published: August 2023

‘Big data’ is vast describing volumes of information that can work miracles. Multiple attempts designed at highlighting the relationship between big data analytics and benefits for healthcare organizations have been raised. The big data influence on health organization management is still not clear due to the relationship’s multi-disciplinary nature. It has become a topic of special interest for the past two decades because of a great potential that is hidden in it. Numerous public and private sector industries generate, store, and analyze big data with an aim to improve the services they provide. In the healthcare industry, various sources for big data include hospital records, medical records of patients, results of medical checkups, and devices that are a part of internet of things. Biomedical research also produces a significant share of big data pertinent to public healthcare. Big Data and healthcare are precarious to discourse the risk of hospitalization. This data requires proper management and analysis in order to derive expressive communication. There are various encounters associated with each step of handling big data which can only be surpassed by using high-end computing solutions for big data analysis. Providing relevant results for improving public health, healthcare providers are required to be fully equipped with appropriate infrastructure to systematically generate and analyze big data. A well-organized management, analysis, and interpretation of big data can transformation the game by opening new avenues for contemporary healthcare. With a strong integration of biomedical and healthcare data, modern healthcare institutes can probably revolutionize the medical therapies and personalized medicine.
Utilization of three-dimensional fusion images with high-resolution computed tomography angiography for preoperative evaluation of microvascular decompression: patient series
Authors: Iwata Takamitsu , Hosomi Koichi , Tani Naoki , Khoo Hui Ming , Oshino Satoru , Kishima Haruhiko 
Published: August 2023

BACKGROUND
High-resolution computed tomography (CT), outfitted with a 0.25-mm detector, has superior capability for identifying microscopic anatomical structures compared to conventional CT. This study describes the use of high-resolution computed tomography angiography (CTA) for preoperative microvascular decompression (MVD) assessment and explores the potential effectiveness of three-dimensional (3D) image fusion with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) by comparing it with traditional imaging methods.

OBSERVATIONS
Four patients who had undergone preoperative high-resolution CTA and MRI for MVD at Osaka University Hospital between December 2020 and March 2022 were included in this study. The 3D-reconstructed images and intraoperative findings were compared. One patient underwent conventional CTA, thus allowing for a comparison between high-resolution and conventional CTA in terms of radiation exposure and vascular delineation. Preoperative simulations reflected the intraoperative findings for all cases; small vessel compression of the nerve was identified preoperatively in two cases.

LESSONS
Compared with conventional CTA, high-resolution CTA showed superior vascular delineation with no significant change in radiation exposure. The use of high-resolution CTA with reconstructed 3D fusion images can help to simulate prior MVD. Knowing the location of the nerves and blood vessels can perioperatively guide neurosurgeons.
