Advantages of femtosecond laser in various corneal transplantation procedures: A narrative literature review
Authors: Han Sang Beom 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
The ability of the femtosecond laser (FSL) to create tissue incisions at desired depth and location with minimal collateral damage to surrounding tissue may offer potential advantages for corneal transplantation surgery. FSL may enable the precise and accurate preparation of both donor and recipient tissue, which can potentially result in enhanced wound integrity, facilitation of wound healing, and improved visual outcomes. Many studies have suggested that FSL may be a viable option in various corneal transplantation procedures, such as, penetrating keratoplasty, anterior lamellar keratoplasty, endothelial keratoplasty, and novel techniques, including Bowman layer transplantation and stromal lenticule addition keratoplasty. In this review, the author presents a brief overview on the application of FSL in various corneal transplantation procedures and discusses the results of studies regarding the safety and efficacy of FSL-assisted corneal transplantation procedures.
Складне прощання з імперією: практики подолання тоталітарного минулого в Україні
Authors: Кордун О.О. 
Published: September 2023

Подолання тоталітарного минулого в Україні є складним багатоаспектним процесом, під час якого необхідно було паралельно і комплексно вирішувати такі завдання як декомунізація, дерадянізація та деколонізація/дерусифікація. До того ж у 90-х рр. ХХ ст. вони були частиною ще більш складних загальних процесів пострадянських трансформацій в Україні, коли у короткий період часу довелося одночасно вирішувати ще цілий комплекс інших – економічних, політичних, соціальних, світоглядних та ін. – проблем різного ступеню складності, спрямованості та інтенсивності.
На такому тлі процеси реальної декомунізації та дерадянізації виглядали мало не другорядними щодо згаданого комплексу проблем. Їх реалізація була підпорядкована необхідності легітимації незалежності і збереження територіальної цілісності держави; формуванню лояльності населення до влади та підтримки її політичного курсу.
З огляду на це, прощання з тоталітарним минулим носило компромісний характер, відбувалися стихійно, несистемно, непослідовно, без належного інформаційного, наукового та політичного забезпечення – під впливом поточної політичної кон’юнктури, породженої компромісом між посткомуністичною номенклатурою та ліберально-демократичними політиками. Ці процеси були неоднорідними в територіальному вимірі, різнилася на загальнонаціональному та місцевому рівні та визначалися динамікою співвідношення політичних сил у місцевих радах, викликаючи палкі наукові та політичні дискусії чи зазнаючи латентного або навіть відвертого саботажу та опору з боку політиків або громадян. Спостерігалося значне відставання у часі та глибині таких процесів від країн Європи, які належали свого часу до т.зв. «соціалістичного табору».
Складовими цих процесів стали реабілітація жертв політичних репресій, повернення кримських татар, повернення імен українських політичних та культурних діячів, стихійні процеси «демокомунізації» на кшталт знесення пам’ятників Леніну та іншим діячам ВКПБ-КПСС (т. зв. «ленінопад»).
Значна частина процесів деколонізації та дерадянізації, які мали б відбутися ще протягом першого десятиліття української незалежності, не є завершеними навіть на нинішньому етапі і активізувалися лише в умовах активної фази російської агресії щодо України у 2014 та 2022 р. Як наслідок, неподолане, непроговорене і не переосмислене повною мірою тоталітарне минуле часто і досі стоїть на заваді розвитку України як європейської демократичної держави.
Тоталітарний характер політичної системи сучасного Туркменістану: історико-політичний аспект
Authors: Цапко О.М. 
Published: September 2023

У статті розкриваються основні ознаки сучасної політичної системи Туркменістану, які дають нам підстави стверджувати, що ця система має тоталітарний характер. До таких ознак відносяться наступні: жорстке підпорядкування всіх основних сфер діяльності туркменського суспільства, особливо економіки, тотальному контролю з боку держави; формування культу особи керівників держави; відсутність в країні будь-якої опозиції та ЗМІ, що надавали б суспільству альтернативну інформацію; грубе порушення прав людини;нинішня зовнішня політика нейтралітету, яка з часом перетворилася у політику ізоляції Туркменістану від навколишнього світу. Прикриваючись цією політикою, правлячі кола Туркменістану фактично утаємничують від світової спільноти, зокрема від міжнародних правничих організацій, інформацію про реальний стан в країні.
Вищезазначені характеристики політичної системи Туркменістану доповнюються наявністю в ній підривного політичного інституту корупції. Остання має системний характер і від боротьби з якою Туркменістан, на відміну від решти пострадянських держав, фактично відмовився.
Окрім того, більш як тридцятилітній період незалежного розвитку Туркменістану засвідчив відсутність поступу країни до демократичних цінностей. Натомість сформувався режим, який ґрунтується на інших ціннісних установках. В країні відсутня реальна демократична конкуренція, яка витіснена переважно конкуренцією кланів. А сам політичний процес у державі, спрямований на задоволення інтересів лише певної частини політичної верхівки країни за рахунок низів. Все це сприяє дедалі більшій зовнішньополітичній відособленості країни від сучасних світових глобалізаційних процесів.
Останні президентські вибори в Туркменістані загалом дозволяють нам зробити висновок про те, що в низці пострадянських країн намітилася своєрідна тенденція перетворення посади президента країни у спадкову, яка передається від батька до сина.

A Study on the Influencing Factors of International Used Sailboat Prices Based on SPSS Analysis
Authors: Yang Maolin , Du Xiaocui , Li Tong 
Published: September 2023

This paper focuses on the factors influencing the price of used sailboats internationally. First of all, this paper collected the sales prices of various types of used sailboats and obtained the indicators of each factor that may affect their prices. Due to the existence of multiple influencing factors, this paper decided to establish a multiple regression model to analyze the influence of each factor on the price. After conducting the test, it was determined that there was no linear correlation. Then a polynomial regression model was constructed by introducing a cross term. And it was continued using partial F test. We analyzed the data step by step and concluded that there is no linear relationship between the prices of the two sailboats and their effects, they correspond to a polynomial regression relationship and passed the model test. Afterwards, in order to use the mathematical model that has been developed to focus on the influence of region on the price of sailboats, this paper uses hierarchical clustering to initially classify the data, we use the average market price of each type of sailing in a given region as a measure of influence, and we compute the specific equation relationship based on the algebra of the model by comparing the coefficients of the equations to analyze the influence of regional factors on the price of the boat, and we obtain the The conclusion that the influence is statistically significant. Finally, we analyzed all the data and drew conclusions of specific practical significance.

Authors: Xia Guanghan 
Published: September 2023

The Schrödinger equation is a significant achievement on the development of quantum mechanics. By solving the Schrödinger equation, the fundamental behaviors and properties of a microscopic particle can be found in one- to three-dimensions. The article focuses on the derivations of quantum harmonic oscillators in one dimension by solving second order-differential equation. The wave functions, probability densities under different energy levels are presented. The results can be used to estimate different forms of continuous potential experienced by an oscillator. By calculating the uncertainty relation of the oscillator under one specific excited state, the general relation can be confirmed. Based on the output, by splitting the variables, the two-dimensional harmonic oscillator can also be derived. The degenerate energy levels are presented as . Numerical simulations are made to visualize those results and suggests the relation of energy levels and number of maxima of the probability densities.
The Effect of Gratitude Intervention on Life Satisfaction of University students: The Role of Self-Esteem
Authors: Gao Juanyuan , Gao Xu 
Published: September 2023

Gratitude education is very common in traditional Chinese education. Gratitude is both an emotion and a trait (Rash et al.,2011). It is a tendency to perceive benefits bestowed by others or by some impersonal source, and accompanied by positive, social emotions (Lin C.C.,2015). As a trait, gratitude draws attention to positive outcomes in life (Emmons et al.,2019). Furthermore, this project chooses life satisfaction and self-esteem as variables in the research. ‘Life satisfaction is a subjective evaluation of overall quality of life’，and is the key dimension of subjective well-being (Proctor et al.,2009). Self-esteem is a sense of individuals’ general value or worth from his or her aspects (Rosenberg, 1979). Self-esteem is commonly considered as the “feeling that one is good enough” (Orth & Robins,2014). Life satisfaction and self-esteem are often used in studies of gratitude，but few of them find the complicated correlations between these three factors. So the purpose of this project is to explore whether gratitude interventions can enhance gratitude and subsequently increase life satisfaction and self-esteem.

Background: Neck masses are found in all age groups from many causes, ranging from congenital to acquired pathology. There is paucity of data on neck masses in Tanzania and at Muhimbili National Hospital, prevalence of neck masses is not yet known. The aim of this study was thus to address this gap.
Methods: Descriptive cross sectional study was done from July to December 2016 involving patients who were admitted in surgical wards. Structured questionnaires were filled after thorough head and neck evaluation of patients. Data analys isby SPSS version 20 and p-value<0.05 was considered to be statistically significant.
Results: The overall prevalence of neck masses was found to be 14.1% and proportion of neck masses was found to increase as the age increase. Anterior triangle was the commonest anatomical site (53.8%). Most of the neck masses (65.7%) were malignant and the age group most involved was >60 years (P-value 0.000). Among the malignant neck masses squamous cell carcinoma was the leading variant (54.1%) and most of themalignant neck masses were metastatic nodes from primary cancers in the upper aerodigestive tract (67.21%).
Conclusion: This study has unveiled neck masses at MNH to be prevalent and the proportion of neck masses increase age increase. Anterior triangle was the leading anatomical site. Most of the neck masses were malignant and majority of them were metastatic nodes from upper aerodigestive tract.
Any neck mass especially in adults needs thorough evaluation including upper aerodigestive assessment to rule out the possibility of malignancy.

Published: September 2023

Abstract
The Dulong people have accumulated a wealth of traditional botanical knowledge (TBK) over a long period on bamboo use to adapt to their living environment, which impacts many aspects of the life, culture, and creative productivity of the Dulong people. However, research on TBK associated with bamboo in Dulong communities is still lacking. It is urgent to investigate and document the TBK related to bamboo in the context of rapid economic development and social changes in Dulong communities. Field surveys were conducted four times between 2019 and 2020. Thirty informants were selected using snowball sampling and were interviewed using free lists and semi-structured interviews. Most informants were or had been engaged in bamboo collection and weaving. The participatory observation approach has also been applied to field surveys. The use value (UV) of bamboo species and the relative frequency of citations (RFC) were used to evaluate and compare the importance of bamboo plants used by the Dulong people. Through ethnoecological investigations, 12 bamboo species belonging to seven genera traditionally used by the Dulong people and TBK associated with bamboo were recorded. Phyllostachys sulphurea, Dendrocalamus fugongensis, and Fargesia pleniculmis were the most valuable and favored species, as indicated by their relatively high RFC and UV indices. The Dulong people have accumulated a wealth of TBK associated with bamboo and are familiar with the distribution, ecology, morphology, characteristics, and purpose of bamboo species in the Dulongjiang region. These bamboo plants and their traditional knowledge have great potential for conserving the local biodiversity and sustainable development. In the future, we will increase the growth of industries related to bamboo plants, such as bamboo shoots as food, bamboo as medication, bamboo for the weaving industry, and bamboo for biocultural diversity conservation.
