Effect of nimodipine combined with atorvastatin calcium on microinflammation and oxidative stress levels in patients with cerebral vasospasm after subarachnoid hemorrhage
Authors: Gan Ning , Jia Tong-le , Tian Nan , Liu Si-si , Cao Shan 
Published: January 2023

Objective: To evaluate the effect of nimodipine combined with atorvastatin calcium on the micro inflammation and oxidative stress levels in patients with cerebral vasospasm (CVS) after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) and its clinical implications.
Methods: A total of 80 patients with CVS caused by SAH who had been admitted to Baoding First Central Hospital from August 2021 to August 2022 were selected and randomly divided into two groups. The control group underwent conventional symptomatic treatment, while the experimental group was administered nimodipine combined with atorvastatin calcium on the basis of conventional treatment. The changes in the micro inflammatory cytokines and oxidative stress factors in the two groups were compared, as well as the differences in clinical efficacy and incidence of adverse drug reactions.
Results: After treatment, the levels of inflammatory cytokines in the experimental group decreased more significantly than those in the control group (p=0.00). After treatment, the serum levels of oxidative stress factors were obviously higher in the experimental group than in the control group (p=0.00). After treatment, the total efficacy was 77.5% in the experimental group and 55% in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (p=0.04).
Conclusions: Nimodipine combined with atorvastatin calcium could significantly improve the clinical symptoms in patients with CVS after SAH, which would be beneficial, safe, and effective for the patient’s recovery.

THE RESEARCH OF THE ARMENIAN KIPCHAK LANGUAGE IN THE SCIENTIFIC ACHIEVEMENTS OF PROFESSOR EDWARD TRYJARSKI (1923-2021)
The Armenian Kipchak language is the language of the Polish Armenians inhabiting the former Polish eastern borderlands (mainly cities: Lwów, Kamieniec Podolski, Zamość). The time of the highest activity of this peculiar linguistic phenomenon includes the 16th and 17th centuries. Edward Tryjarski was an outstanding Polish orientalist who conducted research on this language which is also treated as a dialect or ethnolect. The purpose of the article is to present the scientific work of Professor Tryjarski connected just with this issue.

Indoor Air Quality and Strategic Decision Making
Authors: Künn Steffen , Palacios Juan , Pestel Nico 
Published: January 2023

Decision making on the job is becoming increasingly important in the labor market, in which there is an unprecedented rise in demand for workers with problem-solving and critical-thinking skills. This paper investigates how indoor air quality affects the quality of strategic decision making based on data from official chess tournaments. Our main analysis relies on a unique data set linking the readings of air-quality monitors inside the tournament room to the quality of 30,000 moves, each of them objectively evaluated by a powerful artificial intelligence–based chess engine. The results show that poor indoor air quality hampers players’ decision making. We find that an increase in the indoor concentration of fine particulate matter (PM[Formula: see text]) by 10 [Formula: see text] (corresponding to 75% of a standard deviation in our sample) increases a player’s probability of making an erroneous move by 26.3%. The decomposition of the effects by different stages of the game shows that time pressure amplifies the damage of poor air quality to the players’ decisions. We implement a number of robustness checks and conduct a replication exercise with analogous move-quality data from games in the top national league showing the strength of our results. The results highlight the costs of poor air quality for highly skilled professionals faced with strategic decisions under time pressure. This paper was accepted by Prof. Yan Chen, behavioral economics and decision analysis.

“LO NATURAL”, “LO CULTURAL” Y LA TRADUCCIÓN RELACIONAL UNA METATEORÍA PARA COMPRENDER LA POÉTICA DE LILIANA BODOC EN TIEMPO DE DRAGONES
Authors: Arrizabalaga María Inés 
Published: January 2023

Este articulo propone demostrar que en la novela Tiempo de Dragones de Liliana Bodoc se plantean diversas confrontaciones tópicas en la representación del “mundo natural” frente al “mundo cultural”; asimismo, la dialéctica entre lo natural y lo cultural se advierte en procedimientos de traducción de modelos, traducción cultural y traducción intersemiótica. Como conclusión de este análisis descrip-tivo, puede afirmarse que la representación de tales procedimientos de traducción permite postular una “ecología de la traducción”, en que el conocimiento del medio sólo es posible en el efecto de “ensamble de la traducción”; además, dicho análisis aporta un sustrato argumental válido para reconocer en la representación de procedimientos de traducción, así como en el estudio del medio de ocurrencia de tales procedimientos y en el efecto de ensamble que deviene, hechos de “traducción relacional”.

approximation for the radiative transfer equation (RTE) with modified Mark boundaries for the prediction of the transmittance and reflectance of turbid slabs with or without a glass layer on top. To demonstrate the capabilities of our solution, we have presented a way to prepare samples with different scatterers and absorbers where we can control and predict the optical properties and discussed three color-matching strategies: the approximation of the scattering and absorption coefficient, the adjustment of the reflectance, and the direct matching of the color value

Method of high-precision free-space distance measurement for noncooperative targets
Authors: Hou Yibing , Kang Jiehu , Yue Jiantao , Li Hongtong , Xue Ting , Wu Bin 
Published: January 2023

Aimed at high-precision distance measurement for noncooperative targets in free space, a spatial distance measurement method is proposed. Based on the concept of optical carrier-based microwave interferometry, this method extracts distance information from the radiofrequency domain. The interference model of broadband light beams is established, and the optical interference can be eliminated by using a broadband light source. A spatial optical system with a Cassegrain telescope as the main body is designed to effectively receive the backscattered signal without cooperative targets. A free-space distance measurement system is built to verify the feasibility of the proposed method, and the results agree well with the set distances. Long-distance measurements with a resolution of 0.033 µm can be achieved, and the errors of the ranging experiments are within 0.1 µm. The proposed method has the advantages of fast processing speed, high measurement accuracy, and high immunity to disturbances as well as the potential for measurement of other physical quantities.
Hospital at home: A systematic review of how medication management is conceptualised, described and implemented in practice—A study protocol
Authors: McGlen Sophie , Crowley Clare , Lasserson Daniel , Qamariat Zahra A. L. , Lim Rosemary H. M. 
Published: January 2023

Introduction
Hospital at Home (H@H) is a method of healthcare delivery, where hospital level interventions are conducted in the patient’s usual place of residence, offering an alternative to hospital admission. This often includes the ability to perform point of care diagnostics and treat conditions using a range of treatments traditionally associated with hospital admission, including intravenous medicines and oxygen. H@H services have been established worldwide but there is a wide variation in definition and delivery models and currently no documented evidence supporting the delivery of medicines and medicines management within the H@H model. Therefore, this study aims to 1) describe how medication management in H@H is conceptulised, 2) describe and identify key components of medication management in H@H and 3) describe and identify variability in the implementation of medication management services within H@H models.

Methods and analysis
We will search a range of databases (PubMed, Medline, Embase, CINAHL), publicly accessible documents and expert recommendations. Studies, reports and policy documents published between 1st January 2000 and 31st January 2022 will be included. Two independent reviewers will 1) screen and select studies based on a priori inclusion/exclusion, 2) conduct quality assessment using the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool on included studies and 3) extract data. Inductive thematic analysis (objectives 1 and 2), the SEIPS 2.0 model (objective 2) and the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (objective 3) will be used to synthesise data.

Ethics and dissemination
This systematic review will use secondary data sources from published documents, and as such research ethical approval was not required. We will disseminate the findings of this study in a peer-reviewed journal and national/international conference(s).

Impact of customized add-on nighttime bracing in full-time brace treatment of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis
Authors: Bretschneider Henriette , Bernstein Peter , Disch Alexander C. , Seifert Jens 
Published: January 2023

Study design
Retrospective cohort study.

Objective
Bracing is an accepted standard therapy for idiopathic scoliosis at Cobb angle ranges between 25° and 40°. However, it is unclear, if a specifically tailored regimen of daytime and nighttime braces (= double brace) yields superior results compared to the standard treatment (single brace for day and night).

Methods
One-hundred-fifteen patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) were assessed before initiation of bracing treatment and at the final follow-up 2 years after deposition of the brace. They were divided into two groups: double-brace group (n = 66, 4 male, 62 female, age 13.1 ± 1.9 (mean ± SD), primary curvature thoracic n = 35, lumbar n = 31) and single-brace group (n = 49, 8 male, 41 female, age 14.1 ± 1.9, primary curvature thoracic n = 18, lumbar n = 31). Each patient underwent clinical and radiological examinations and Cobb angles were measured.

Results
Both therapy regimens succeeded to either stop progression or improve scoliosis in over 85% of cases. The nighttime brace showed a significantly higher primary correction than the daytime brace. Nevertheless, there was no significant difference in treatment success in the 2-year follow-up (p = 0.58).

Conclusion
It seems to be sufficient to treat idiopathic scoliosis with one well-tailored brace for day- and nighttime.
Association between vitamin D level and respiratory distress syndrome: A systematic review and meta-analysis
Authors: Kim Yoo Jinie , Lim Gina , Lee Ran , Chung Sochung , Son Jae Sung , Park Hye Won 
Published: January 2023

Background
Growing evidence suggests an association between the vitamin D levels and respiratory outcomes of preterm infants. The objective of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to explore whether premature neonates with a vitamin D deficiency have an increased risk of respiratory distress syndrome (RDS).

Methods
We searched PubMed, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Library up through July 20, 2021. The search terms were ‘premature infant’, ‘vitamin D’, and ‘respiratory distress syndrome’. We retrieved randomized controlled trials and cohort and case-control studies. For statistical analysis, we employed the random-effects model in Comprehensive Meta-Analysis Software ver. 3.3. We employed the Newcastle-Ottawa Scales for quality assessment of the included studies.

Results
A total of 121 potentially relevant studies were found, of which 15 (12 cohort studies and 3 case-control studies) met the inclusion criteria; the studies included 2,051 preterm infants. We found significant associations between RDS development in such infants and vitamin D deficiency within 24 h of birth based on various criteria, thus vitamin D levels < 30 ng/mL (OR 3.478; 95% CI 1.817–6.659; p < 0.001), < 20 ng/mL (OR 4.549; 95% CI 3.007–6.881; p < 0.001), < 15 ng/mL (OR 17.267; 95% CI 1.084–275.112; p = 0.044), and < 10 ng/ml (OR 1.732; 95% CI 1.031–2.910; p = 0.038), and an even lower level of vitamin D (SMD = –0.656; 95% CI –1.029 to –0.283; p = 0.001).

Conclusion
Although the vitamin D deficiency definitions varied and different methods were used to measure vitamin D levels, vitamin D deficiency or lower levels of vitamin D within 24 h of birth were always associated with RDS development. Monitoring of neonatal vitamin D levels or the maintenance of adequate levels may reduce the risk of RDS.
Effect of menstrual irregularity on academic performance of undergraduate students of Debre Berhan University: A comparative cross sectional study
Authors: Demeke Enguday , Zeru Abayneh Birlie , Tesfahun Esubalew , Mohammed Woineshet Bedru 
Published: January 2023

Background
Menstrual period is a critical time in the life of females. For the first few years after menarche, irregular cycle is common due to premature hypothalamic-pituitary ovarian (HPO) axis physiologically. If persistent, it becomes a major problem in student’s life. But few studies conducted on effect of menstrual cycle irregularity on academic performance among university students were descriptive. However assessing the effect of menstrual irregularity on academic performance by using average grade point approach is critically important to magnify its effect.

Objective
To compare effects of menstrual irregularity on academic performance among undergraduate students of Debre Berhan University, Ethiopia 2020.

Methods
A comparative cross sectional study was conducted among 404 students in Debre Berhan University, Ethiopia, 2020. A standard tool of menstrual cycle regularity which is prepared by international federation of gynecologist and obstetrics (IFGO) was used to screen students who have menstrual irregularity. Independent sample t- test was done to compare the mean difference of academic performance between the two groups of students.

Results
The age of study participants ranges between 18 and 26 years with a mean age of 20.69 ± 1.43 years. The mean age at menarche was 14.9 ± 1.67 ranging from 9 to 18 years. Students who had menstrual irregularity had mean average grade point (AGP) of (2.78 ± 0.57) and students who had regular menstruation had mean AGP of (2.97 ± 0.53). Students who had menstrual irregularity had lower mean average grade point by a mean difference of 0.19 (95%CI: 0.09–0.30).

Conclusion
This study found that students who had menstrual irregularity had significantly lower mean AGP as compared with students who had regular menstruation.
