Objective: The Fintech industry has been gaining importance among customers of the financial system, thanks to the agility, scope, and simplicity of the services offered through digital platforms. This article aims to describe, from the literature, the Fintech taxonomy to identify the Operational Risks by mapping current knowledge and finding gaps in the relevant literature. Design/Methodology/Approach: A systematic literature review is carried out based on a bibliometric analysis using the search equation "Fintech", "Risk", "Credit" in the SCOPUS indexer. Eighty scientific articles were obtained, and a .cvs database was downloaded to perform the cooccurrence study of keywords with the VOSviewer® software. Subsequently, a content analysis was performed by the ATLAS.ti® tool. Results/Discussion: The review proposes a taxonomy of five codes from the point of view of different authors: Cyber Risk, Model Risk, Business Practices Risk, Customer Knowledge Risk, and Data Protection Risk. They help to identify the classification of Fintech risks for analysis. Conclusions: The analysis is carried out by dispersion diagrams, which show the degree of relationship between the different risk variables in Fintech. Originality/Value: This document maps the information and scientific knowledge related to the classification of Operational Risks in Fintech, their degree of relationship, and consequences.
My Life in American Studies – Memories and Expectations
Authors: Ickstadt Heinz 
Published: September 2023

I am now in that phase of life when old people like me tend to reminisce and give account. Since my long academic life was committed to American Studies, I wondered how this came about, and although I am aware of the inevitable mix between coincidence and symbolic self-construction, I believe that my career was rooted in certain moments of experience: a seminar on Melville, the physical exposure to “America,” and the significance America had for me from childhood on. I also believe that a temperamental affinity to an idea of democracy built on communication led me to embrace the democratic belief that is at the core of American Studies. At the same time, my own process of disillusionment ran parallel to the critical redefinition of American Studies that has characterized the development of the field during the last forty years or so. In what follows, I have tried to reflect on my original enthusiasm, and on where I stand now, in an effort to be realistic and optimistic at the same time.

Authors: ÇETİNDAĞ Özhan , ÜNAL Ali Ekrem 
Published: September 2023

Aim: Postoperative hypophosphatemia is associated with morbidity after many gastrointestinal surgeries. In this study,
we aimed to investigate the relationship between hypophosphatemia and POPF, which is one of the morbidities after pancreatectomy.
Material and Methods: All adult patients who underwent pancreatectomy in our surgical oncology clinic from 2010 to 2020 were included in the patient data recording system to the Faculty of Medicine of Ankara University, Surgical Oncology clinic. Exclusions were made for those under 18, without postoperative Jackson-Pratt (jp) amylase levels, and with previous pancreatic surgery.
Results: Examination of a total of 185 patients showed that fistula occurred in 20% of cases. Statistical analysis revealed that postoperative 2nd and 3rd-day phosphorus levels are markers for pancreatic leak.
Conclusion: Decreased phosphate values after pancreatic surgery may be an indicator for pancreatic fistula, especially significant on the 2nd and 3rd postoperative days

Introduction. Ischemic stroke (IS) remains one of the significant problems of modern medicine to this day. Cardioembolic stroke (CEI) accounts for 20 % of all cases of IS and is characterized by acuteness, severity of the disease and high mortality.Aim of study. An observation is presented in patient Sh., 51 years old, who was urgently transferred from another medical institution on the 3rd day after the development of acute recurrent anterior myocardial infarction with ST segment elevation complicated by early post-infarction angina pectoris. During the additional examination, in addition to severe multifocal atherosclerosis and multivessel coronary artery disease, a floating thrombus in the cavity of the left ventricle was detected. At the stage of preparing the patient for coronary artery bypass grafting, the patient developed stroke. Thrombextraction from the basilar artery (BA) was performed urgently. As a result, a complete regression of neurological symptoms was achieved. This made it possible to continue the preparation and successfully perform coronary artery bypass grafting. The patient was discharged on the 10th day after the operation, the entire hospitalization period was 28 bed-days.Discussion. In the presented case, a patient with a clinic of unstable angina pectoris, severe multifocal atherosclerosis, and multivessel coronary artery disease was in a specialized multidisciplinary hospital at the time of the development of stroke. The well-coordinated work of the multidisciplinary team, the possibility of performing thromboaspiration in the shortest possible time allowed not only to save the patient's life and achieve complete regression of neurological symptoms, but also to improve the quality of life through surgical treatment of coronary heart disease.

Abstract. Taking into account the conflicting data on the effect of the systemic inflammatory response on the structural and functional changes in the myocardium in clinical forms of tuberculosis, we conducted an echocardiographic study and an assessment of pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines in the blood serum.The purpose: to study the relationship of structural and functional changes in the myocardium with markers of systemic inflammation IL-6, IL-10, VEGF-A in patients with various forms of pulmonary tuberculosis.Materials and methods. The study included 77 patients with a confirmed diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis, who are on inpatient treatment in a tuberculosis dispensary. During the study, patients were randomized into 3 groups, cavernous form of pulmonary tuberculosis, (n = 15). The mean age of the patients was 44.2 ± 5.3 years and had no statistically significant differences between the groups. The control group consisted of 10 healthy individuals. The mean age of the control group was 42.4 ± 2.3 years. The concentration of IL-6, IL-10 and VEGF-A in blood serum was assessed by ELISA and В-mode echocardiography.The results obtained. The severity of systemic inflammation was associated with the clinical form of pulmonary tuberculosis: the maximum value of IL-6 was observed in the infiltrative form, and the minimum, but significantly higher value compared to the control group, in the fibrous-cavernous form of pulmonary tuberculosis (25, 7 ± 16.5 vs 10.3 ± 4.24). High levels of interleukin IL-6 were accompanied by higher levels of VEGF in blood serum, regardless of the form of pulmonary tuberculosis, while the highest concentration of both was observed in patients with infiltrative form of tuberculosis . A significant increase in the structural and functional values of the myocardium of the right and left parts of the heart was established both in relation to the control group and in comparison with the group of patients with an infiltrative form of pulmonary tuberculosis, despite lower levels of VEGF-A (391.43 ± 241.0 vs 274.50 ± 158.30).Conclusions. Pulmonary tuberculosis is accompanied by varying severity of systemic inflammation associated with the clinical form of the disease. Structural and functional changes in the myocardium of the right and left parts of the heart in pulmonary tuberculosis are associated with the clinical form of pulmonary tuberculosis. The most pronounced changes are observed in the fibrous-cavernous form, the minimum - in the infiltrative form. There is no direct relationship between the severity of the systemic inflammatory response and structural and functional changes in the heart.

Relevance. Multiple sclerosis is accompanied by rapid progression of the disease, the development of early disability and a violation of the patient's quality of life. In recent years, advances in understanding the etiology and pathogenesis of this disease have led to the expansion of therapeutic approaches, it has become possible to influence the course of the disease. Objective - to study the effectiveness of the use of drugs that change the course of multiple sclerosis in patients registered at the center of multiple sclerosis of the Udmurt Republic.Materials and methods. The statistical analysis was performed on 45 patients of the neurological department of the "First Republican Clinical Hospital" of the Ministry of Health of the Udmurt Republic, diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, using immunomodulatory or immunosuppressive therapy.Results. At the beginning of the study, the group of patients using immunomodulatory therapy included 31 patients (68.89 %), the group of immunosuppressors -14 patients (31.11 %). The average time from the onset of the disease to the start of therapy was 1.64 ± 5.71 months. 42 patients (93.33 %) out of 45 included in the study started therapy with an immunomodulator. The average time from the start of therapy to inclusion in the study was 113.00 ± 47.52 months in the immunomodulatory therapy group. 11 patients (78.57 %) out of 14 taking immunosuppressive therapy at the start of the study switched to it after previous immunomodulatory therapy. 3 patients (6.67 %) out of 45 included in the study started treatment with immunosuppressive therapy. In the immunosuppressive therapy group, the duration of treatment was 62.57 ± 74.52 months. Progression of the disease from the moment of initiation of therapy to inclusion in the study was observed in 19 patients - 42.22 %. An increase in the EDSS index was recorded by an average of 1.82 ± 0.31 points. Improvement of clinical condition was observed in 6 patients - 13.33 %. A decrease in the EDSS index was recorded by an average of 0.91 ± 0.22 points. The difference in the EDSS index in the groups of immunomodulators and immunosuppressors is insignificant. There was no dependence of the patient's clinical condition on the number and activity of foci of demyelination.Conclusions. The objective clinical condition of the patient has no significant difference in the groups of immunomodulatory and immunosuppressive therapy, which suggests that the correct selection of a particular drug by the attending physician and its constant use by the patient is important in order to reduce the risks of complications, slow down the progression of the disease and preserve the quality of life of the patient.
The Sustainable Material Culture (SMC): A Review

Published: September 2023

We confidently approach current issues in Green Finance (GF) from the perspective of an international organization, where the first author has previous experience as a support assistant. In fact, the economy of the EU (European Union) is deeply involved in the changing needs related to the dramatic consequences of climate change and environmental degradation, which has placed the needs of a more sustainable economy at the top of the international agenda. The environmental, social and governance (ESG) aspects are marginally addressed to arouse a major interest in questions raised by green financial products which require long-term profit expectations, and which above all contain a risk margin that is difficult to calculate in the landscape of traditional financial instruments. Through a careful approach akin to artificial intelligence research methods, we attempt to “materialize” at least the most visible clues of this fashionable economic shift through what we call SMC (sustainable material culture) objects.
Applications of Extended Reality in Orthopaedic Surgery

Published: September 2023

➤ Extended reality is a term that encompasses different modalities, including virtual reality, augmented reality, and mixed reality.➤ Although fully immersive virtual reality has benefits for developing procedural memory and technical skills, augmented and mixed reality are more appropriate modalities for preoperative planning and intraoperative utilization.➤ Current investigations on the role of extended reality in preoperative planning and intraoperative utilization are still in the early stages, but preliminarily show that extended reality technologies can help surgeons to be more accurate and efficient.

Authors: Pujari Amit , Johnson Franchesca , Little Milton T. , Forsh David A. , Okike Kanu 
Published: September 2023

Background:
In the current era of evidence-based medicine, scientific publications play a crucial role in guiding patient care. While the lack of diversity among orthopaedic surgeons has been well documented, little is known about the diversity of orthopaedic journal editorial boards. The purpose of this study was to assess the racial/ethnic and gender diversity of U.S. orthopaedic journal editorial boards.

Methods:
The editorial boards of 13 orthopaedic journals were examined, including 10 subspecialty and 3 general orthopaedic journals. Race/ethnicity and gender were determined for each editorial board member. The representation observed on orthopaedic journal editorial boards was compared with representation at other phases of the orthopaedic pipeline, as well as within the various subspecialty fields of orthopaedics. Logistic regression and t tests were used to evaluate these comparisons.

Results:
We identified 876 editorial board members of the 13 journals; 14.0% were Asian, 1.9% were Black, 1.9% were Hispanic, 2.4% were multiracial/other, and 79.7% were White. Racial/ethnic representation was similar across the subspecialty fields of orthopaedics (p > 0.05). The representation of women on orthopaedic editorial boards was 7.9%, with differences in gender diversity observed across subspecialty fields (p < 0.05). Among journals in the subspecialty fields of spine and trauma, female editorial board representation was lower than expected, even after taking into account the representation of women in these subspecialty fields (2.0% versus 9.0% [p = 0.002] and 3.8% versus 10.0% [p = 0.03], respectively).

Conclusions:
In this study of 13 subspecialty and general orthopaedic journals, the representation of racial/ethnic minorities and women on editorial boards was similar to their representation in academic orthopaedics. However, these values remain low in comparison with the population of patients treated by orthopaedic surgeons. Given the importance of scientific publications in the current era of evidence-based medicine, orthopaedic journals should continue working to diversify the membership of their editorial boards.
Impact of cross-border data flows on goods and services flows in international trade
Authors: Varlamova J. A. , Podkorytova O. A. 
Published: September 2023

Objective: to assess the impact of cross-border data flows on imports and exports.Methods: static panel data models, graphical method.Results: the paper shows that currently the issues of the digitalization impact on economic processes are insufficiently studied from an empirical point of view, and the conclusions obtained by the researchers are quite contradictory. To assess the impact of digitalization, the authors formed a model with fixed effects, the variables of which are indicators of exports and imports of goods and services of geographical macro-regions, the use of international bandwidth, oil rents, investment indicators, etc. The main conclusion is that the use of international data transmission channels has a statistically significant effect on export and import flows. Modeling in terms of geographical macro-regions showed that the impact of international data flows on export and import flows was uneven.Scientific novelty: the negative impact of international data flows on exports in Latin America and the Caribbean and imports in Europe and Central Asia, East Asia and the Pacific is shown. A quantitative assessment of the impact of cross-border data flows on international trade flows gives grounds to assert the ambiguous consequences of digital transformation in relation to international trade for certain geographical macro-regions.Practical significance: conclusions based on the study results can become the basis for assessing the consequences of measures aimed at increasing the country’s involvement in the globalization and digitalization processes. The study results can also be used to further assess the impact of international data flows on international trade indicators during external shocks and to determine the specifics of this relationship during increased macroeconomic instability and risk.
Scientific creativity of an outstanding Russian jurist M. N. Gernet and his role in developing criminal legal sciences and criminology in the pre-revolutionary period
Authors: Kobets P. N. 
Published: September 2023

Objective: to comprehensively study the results of the work of an outstanding Russian jurist and scientist, ProfessorN. Gernet, and his role in the formation and improvement of the criminal-legal and criminological science in prerevolutionary jurisprudence.Methods: dialectical approach to cognition of social phenomena, allowing to analyze them in historical development and functioning in the context of the totality of objective and subjective factors, which predetermined the following research methods: formal-logical, comparative-legal, and sociological.Results: it is proved that, being the author of serious scientific developments in the field of criminal law and fundamental criminological research printed in pre-revolutionary Russia, M. N. Gernet laid the foundation for the further formation of criminological doctrine, which later became a sub-branch of criminal law science, thus significantly influencing the formation of the humanistic principle in the Russian criminal-legal theory. Analysis of M. N. Gernet’s works allows the author to assert that they identify many shortcomings in fighting crime by solely criminal-repressive methods, and also to show the negative phenomena in the field of assigning criminal penalties, which were created by the judicial practice in force at that time, which used various means to intimidate the population.Scientific novelty: the author’s approach to the analysis of the pre-revolutionary scientific heritage of Professor M. N. Gernet, as well as individual scientific works of his students and followers, allowed the author to conduct a comprehensive scientific study of the life, activities, scientific creativity of the greatest Russian jurist and scientist, Professor M. N. Gernet, as well as his role in the formation and development of criminal law and criminological science in pre-revolutionary jurisprudence.significance: the author’s conclusions proposed in this study can act as a theoretical basis in conducting new research concerning the results of scientific creativity of the Russian jurists developing various scientific criminal law and criminological areas of jurisprudence.
Fault Diagnosis for Power Grids under Disaster Weather Based on a Random Self-regulating Algorithm
Authors: Wang Tao , Liu Liyuan , Ying Ruixuan , Zhou Chunyu 
Published: September 2023

Abstract

With the change of global climate and environment, different types of disaster weather occur more and more frequently, leading to a large number of power security accidents. The disaster weather not only brings risks to the normal operation of power grids, but also affects their fault diagnosis accuracy. Considering the fault risk of power grids under disaster weather, the self-test information of protection devices and weather data are introduced to propose a novel fault diagnosis method for power grids based on a random self-regulating algorithm. Firstly, a diagnosis analytic model is established based on the alarm, weather and self-test information of power outage areas. Secondly, three types of self-regulating trust factors are introduced into the analytic model to strengthen its fault diagnosis ability in the context of disaster weather. Finally, a random self-regulating algorithm is proposed to solve the analytic model to obtain a fault hypothesis. Case studies verify the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed method, which also has good fault tolerance to the abnormal action of protection devices and the distortion of alarm information.
