Published: April 2023

Abstract
The onset and rapid spread of the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus in 2019 was the reason why WHO announced a number of restrictions related to population movement, gathering, limiting access to cultural, recreational, and sports facilities. Most schools and universities moved to a hybrid or fully remote mode of teaching. Studies show that regulations aimed at reducing the spread of SARS-CoV-2, including home isolation, negatively affected students’ mental state, motivation to work and study. The purpose of this study is to assess the health behaviors of Calisia University students during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Methods
A questionnaire comprising 16 questions was developed. The questionnaire was introduced into the Survey Monkey electronic survey system with a note explaining the purpose of the study. On June 22, 2022, a link to the questionnaire was e-mailed to all students (n=1,425) of the Calisia University. A reminder was sent to the students two weeks later.

Results
On the basis of our study, it was found that the COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact on the students of the Calisia University. Some of the students suffered from the disease, which consequently affected their physical condition. During the pandemic, no significant increase in anti-health behaviors, such as smoking cigarettes or drinking excessive amounts of alcohol, was observed in the students. For most of the respondents, the COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact on their mental state. In addition, the pandemic had an adverse effect on the economic situation of the surveyed students.

Conclusions
No significant increase in anti-health behavior was observed in students during the pandemic. Respondents claimed that the COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact on their mental state and definitely worsened their economic situation.

Sounds, Memories and Affects: Double Capture in a Relational Artistic Experience
Authors: Bonafé Valéria , Costa Rogério 
Published: April 2023

This article presents and discusses the nos{entre}nós project, which stems from an artistic collaboration between the authors, composer Valéria Bonafé and improviser and saxophonist Rogério Costa. The project is nurtured by the differences between both artists and proposes a particular manner of assemblage (agencement) set on privileging a consistent collaborative practice. The philosophical work of Gilles Deleuze, Félix Guattari and Brian Massumi is used to analyze this relational practice, with special attention given to concepts like zone of indiscernibility, disjunctive synthesis and double capture. The article also deals specifically with the creative processes involved in producing the first artistic work of this collaborative project, Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte. At stake is the memory space appearing as a field of sensible experience, capable of triggering the surging of affects and the energies necessary for creative assemblages, and where the loop appears as an important strategy of transduction between the poetic field and musical realization.

How to do things in the Plasticene: Ontopolitics of plastics in Arendt, Barthes, and Massumi
Authors: Filipović Andrija 
Published: April 2023

In this paper, I develop three models for understanding plastic in the Plasticene epoch through readings of Arendt, Barthes, and Massumi. In the Ardentian model, plastic is made intransitive. It is withdrawn so far into the background of human experience as that which enables social and individual life of humans that it becomes the unthinkable. It can be argued that it is pushed to the background and made intransitive because of a certain image of the human and cyclical image of nature. The second model is Barthesian, and in it plastic becomes a signifying matter understood through a semiotic model. Plastic and products of plastic become signifiers in the ideological work of discourse. In the Massumian model, plastic is affective; it is a relational body in the process of becoming, simultaneously intensive and multiple in its eventfulness.

GRETA//A PLASTIC POEM: An Integrated Approach to the Vibrant Matter of Voice, Deep Listening, and Somatic Movement in Sonic Performance Art as Plastic Activism
Authors: España Keller Juliana 
Published: April 2023

Through an analysis of the sonic performance artwork GRETA//A PLASTIC POEM (2020), this paper analyzes why and when participatory art practices can intra-sect and converge with ecologies to imagine posthuman futures and challenge pre-existing structures of thought. From an activist position that considers art and the environment as a participatory collective model, this article argues for a reappraisal of human influence in complex human–non-human interactional systems. More specifically, this text, as a component of GRETA//A PLASTIC POEM, approaches oceanic and sea pollution (notably the dumping of plastics) as a form of environmental degradation that has generated a space inhabited by varied and vibrant forms of matter. In this way, the sea and the sonic space show strikingly similar potentials. In turn, Plastic Activism, which advocates for a world free of plastic pollution and its toxic impacts, is adopted as an underlying ethos and aesthetic response, with single-use plastics being incorporated into the performance artwork itself. Relational to this enquiry is sensing how we use our bodies to explore the potential thousands of distinct material ecologies embodying a sonic performative practice, especially combining the materiality of artistic and political action in public space and focal practices. In this way, the sonic space becomes comparable to a sea of sound, where complex assemblages of matter exist and intra-act to challenge the discordant systems and dynamics in which we are currently entangled.

Translating Slow Violence: The Use of Environmental Data in Art as Un-Forecasting
Authors: Ito Atsuhide 
Published: April 2023

This paper explores the potentiality of environmental data translation into affective artistic experiences. Slow violence in the environment is imperceptible and requires techniques of translating it into visual and sonic experiences. In the process, environmental data is used as a currency for translation. Shoshana Zuboff in The Age of Surveillance Capitalism discusses data collection is integral to a surveillance society, yet, data, when given back to citizens, can empower them, and in such a scenario, artists can play a crucial role. By discussing examples of contemporary artworks, the paper observes how ecological situations are captured as data and translated into affective experiences. Environmental data, however, is used also to speculate, predict, and even determine potential scenarios to happen in the future, as in the case of the weather forecast, and used to eliminate uncertainties. This paper argues that art helps make environmental data widely accessible, and suggests an alternative passage from predetermined scenarios speculated from data collection.

Out of (the Assembly) Line: Mo(ve)ments of Uselessness Beyond the Human Scale
Authors: Darian Veronika 
Published: April 2023

Since modernity the relationship between man and things has become precarious. At that time a far-reaching invention turned into a symbol and memorial of modern usage requirements and most efficient production processes: the assembly line. The movements to be performed within the strictly specified processes served only one purpose: the final product. As a consequence, work processes were divided up in the rhythm of the machines, sequences of actions were reduced, and alienation (Entfremdung) was promoted – pushing not only Charlie Chaplin’s tramp into the gear wheels of Modern Times (1936). Under these conditions the relationship between man and thing(s) was renegotiated: On the one hand the working class found itself objectified in a rushing hamster wheel, on the other hand the things in literature and arts regained obstinacy. During those times various authors started questioning the human scale as an omnipresent measure and value of life. Furthermore, things were equipped with biographies of their own, for example by the Russian futurist author Sergei Tret’iakov and his “Biography of the Object”, which featured the intrinsic value of the non-human, non-heroic towards traditional protagonists. Even today, artists succeed in their way to explore various assemblies of peoples and things, such as the artist duo Peter Fischli and David Weiss in their mixed media experiment The Way Things Go (1987). The article focuses on such resistant gestures of/towards things, that lack any obvious benefit and purposefulness, but, on the contrary, reveal their uselessness by literally falling ‘out of line’.

The Persistence of the Documentary Photobook in the Age of the Web
Authors: Martin Julie 
Published: April 2023

Several artists who take into consideration the existence of the Internet in their process of documenting the world remain faithful to the photography book. They find in the codex an experience that a screen remains incapable of providing. The adoption of the book by some documentarist artists engages appropriation practices from an ancient documentary project. War Primer 2 by Broomberg & Chanarin and Less Américains by Mishka Henner reproduce pre-existing books, respectively The ABC of War by Bertolt Brecht and The Americans by Robert Frank. The renewed interest of artists and photographers in books can be explained by a logic of comparison between the two media: the emergence of the web, with its formats and specificities, makes it possible to better appreciate, by analogy and distinction, what characterizes books and the web, and what makes their respective languages.
However, rather than thinking of the modes of publication as alternatives, some of the artists merge their logic by resorting to online self-publishing platforms that allow the self-production and self-distribution of books. The artist Mishka Henner stands out in particular for his systematic production of books on self-publishing sites.

Differentiation of Multi-lithotypes Olistostromal Occurrences Associated with Iron Enrichment and Mineralization Within the Ophiolites of Choman Area, NE Iraq
Authors: Barzan K. Azo  , Kamal Kolo  , Mohammad Pirouei  
Published: April 2023

The discovery of multi-lithotypes olistostromes deposits associated with potentially economically viable iron ore mineralizations in the Rayat region of NE Iraq are described in this study. The depositional and differentiation-classification characteristics of multi-lithotypes of olistostromes with distinct depositional and characteristics are reported here through detailed petrographic, mineralogical, and geochemical data, that allowed for mineralization mechanisms assessment and associated hydrothermal and alteration processes. Ferruginous conglomerate lithotypes occur below the sandstone olistostromes lithotypes section of the investigated series. Through the ferruginous conglomerate olistostromes (FCO) lithotypes there is a layer of potentially iron ore containing iron oxide (up to %42.55), quartz with some minor spinel content. Below the FCO, there are the horizons of (FOpO and FSO), they are also rich in hematite quartz and calcite with some minor spinel content. A 2m thick transition zone (TZ), separate poorly mineralized ophiocarbonatic olistostrome (OpCO) from the FCO. The multi-lithotypes of olistostrome from bottom to top are (serpentinite olistostrome (SO), Ophiocarbonatic olistostrome (OpCO), ferruginous serpentinite olistostrome (FSO), ferruginous ophiocarbonatic olistostrome (FOpCO), ferruginous conglomerate olistostrome (FCO), and sandstone olistostrome (SstO). In addition to Fe, the other potential economic importance element includes nickel (507 to 5816 mg/kg) and cobalt (47.2 to 328.3 mg/kg). The findings indicate that the Rayat olistostromes such as (SO, FSO, OpCO, FOpCO, FCO, and SstO) and the transition- zone (TZ) originated from a mixture of early hydrothermal alteration of serpentinites. The finding of olistostromes in the Rayat, exposes NE Iraq as a potential mineral-rich secto

Issues of Eurasian Industrial Cooperation in the Context of Balancing National Interests
Authors: Kusainov Kh. K. , Zhumabekova S. A. 
Published: April 2023

In the successful development of integration processes, a key role is assigned to the policy of ensuring cooperation of industrial complexes of the member states of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU, Union). At the same time, an analysis of the implementation of measures in the Main Areas of Industrial Cooperation (MAIC) within the EAEU and, in general, the results of the first five-year plan (2015–2019) shows that not all the tasks set were fully and at the proper level. This trend can also be traced at the current stage of the implementation of the current MAIC program for the second five-year period (2020–2024).In this regard, the article examines problematic issues related to the insufficient pace of development of industrial cooperation processes in the Union.Based on the analysis of the development of industrial cooperation processes, to reveal the nuances associated with the imperfection of mechanisms and tools to ensure the balance of common and national interests, with inconsistency in compliance with the initially declared integration agenda.A constructive analysis of these problematic aspects in the context of comparison with the experience of industrial cooperation of the world’s leading associations of countries allows us to identify several proposals in the areas of necessary expediency: 1) the real formation of value-added chains (VAC) for the joint production of goods of the Union; 2) compliance with the principles of mutually beneficial parity in production and financial relations for economic entities (enterprises) of the member States of the Union participating in the formation and development of VACs; ensuring equal competitiveness of cooperative enterprises in the national and common market of the Union; exclusion of artificial barriers to trade between the member States of the Union; 3) improving the methodological approach to improving the effectiveness of program measures in the field of interstate industrial cooperation based on the possible application of the well-known optimization inter-sectoral interregional model (ISIM).
Endoscopic third ventriculostomy for patients with Blake’s pouch cyst with adult-onset hydrocephalus: Importance of improved cerebrospinal fluid flow in the prepontine cistern – A case report
Authors: Hori Emiko , Akai Takuya , Shiraishi Keitaro , Maruyama Kunitaka , Kuroda Satoshi 
Published: April 2023

Background:
Blake’s pouch cyst (BPC) is a posterior fossa cystic malformation that commonly occurs in children with rare adult onset. Herein, we report a case of adult onsets BPC.

Case Description:
A 61-year-old man presented with gait and cognitive disturbance. Preoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed scarring in the prepontine cistern, and cine phase-contrast MRI revealed no pulsation. Endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV) was performed with opening the scarring in the prepontine cistern. Postoperative cine phase-contrast MRI revealed that cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) flow in the prepontine cistern improved, resolving the patient’s symptoms.

Conclusion:
We report a case of adult-onset BPC. The mechanism by which is becomes symptomatic is still unclear. We opened the scar in prepontine cistern in addition to ETV with good results. In this report, we discussed the importance of the improvement in CSF dynamics in the prepontine cistern.

Published: April 2023

Background:
Plasma cell neoplasms are characterized by the neoplastic proliferation of a single clone of plasma cells. Solitary plasmacytomas most often occur in bone, but they can also be found in soft tissues.

Case Description:
A 53-year-old male presented with localized sacral pain and urinary incontinence. His radiographic studies showed a solitary sacral plasmacytoma (i.e., involving the bone). He was successfully managed with high-dose dexamethasone and microwave ablation (MWA).

Conclusion:
Plasmacytomas of bone can be occasionally successfully managed with MWA, adjuvant cytoreduction therapy, and high doses of dexamethasone.
A case report of conus intramedullary mansoni neuroschistosomiasis
Authors: Mohandas Prithvi , Sarkar Hrishikesh , Jain Deepti , Sundaram Vanaja Kate Garfin 
Published: April 2023

Background:
Conus schistosomiasis is an extremely rare entity in which patients present with a wide range of neurological symptoms such as low back pain, paresthesia, fever, myalgia, paraparesis, and paraplegia. This neglected tropical parasitic disease causes significant neurological morbidity. The migration of parasitic worms and their eggs into the central nervous system can lead to profound and life-altering disabilities. Early, accurate diagnosis, and treatment can lead to the complete resolution of symptoms.

Case Description:
A 5-year-old boy from South Sudan presented with complaints of sudden onset, progressive bilateral lower limb weakness for the past month, inability to walk or stand without assistance, and urinary incontinence. Magnetic resonance imaging spine showed an irregular enhancing lesion within the conus. The various possibilities, such as Astrocytoma, and granulomatous disorders were considered. However, a biopsy revealed the lesion to be Conus schistosomiasis, a rare condition with only a few cases reported in children. Typical clinicoradiological presentation and the treatment paradigm have been discussed in this manuscript. Appropriate management of this lesion can avert surgical intervention needed for either a diagnosis or treatment.

Conclusion:
This case report aims to emphasize the importance of considering schistosomiasis as an important differential diagnosis of a conus intramedullary lesion, especially in patients from tropical endemic countries. The neurological recovery in this infestation is directly related to early diagnosis and treatment. Therefore, it is essential to recognize this entity, as early detection and management would result in significant neurological improvement without undergoing surgery.
Effects of non-compulsory and mandatory COVID-19 interventions on travel distance and time away from home, Norway, 2021
Authors: Kamineni Meghana , Engø-Monsen Kenth , Midtbø Jørgen E , Forland Frode , de Blasio Birgitte Freiesleben , Frigessi Arnoldo , Engebretsen Solveig 
Published: April 2023

Background
Given the societal, economic and health costs of COVID-19 non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPI), it is important to assess their effects. Human mobility serves as a surrogate measure for human contacts and compliance with NPI. In Nordic countries, NPI have mostly been advised and sometimes made mandatory. It is unclear if making NPI mandatory further reduced mobility.

Aim
We investigated the effect of non-compulsory and follow-up mandatory measures in major cities and rural regions on human mobility in Norway. We identified NPI categories that most affected mobility.

Methods
We used mobile phone mobility data from the largest Norwegian operator. We analysed non-compulsory and mandatory measures with before–after and synthetic difference-in-differences approaches. By regression, we investigated the impact of different NPI on mobility.

Results
Nationally and in less populated regions, time travelled, but not distance, decreased after follow-up mandatory measures. In urban areas, however, distance decreased after follow-up mandates, and the reduction exceeded the decrease after initial non-compulsory measures. Stricter metre rules, gyms reopening, and restaurants and shops reopening were significantly associated with changes in mobility.

Conclusion
Overall, distance travelled from home decreased after non-compulsory measures, and in urban areas, distance further decreased after follow-up mandates. Time travelled reduced more after mandates than after non-compulsory measures for all regions and interventions. Stricter distancing and reopening of gyms, restaurants and shops were associated with changes in mobility.
