Encierro é palavra polifônica que guarda um jogo polissêmico: desde nomear a primeira parte das touradas anuais espanholas, até amarrar processos temporais diversos, como encerrar e finalizar, tal qual aqueles espaciais - encarcerar, isolar e internar, por exemplo. Para além da experiência apocalíptica que tomou conta de nossas cidades, com destaque para o território brasileiro, recolhe-se no testemunho de alguns analisantes uma saída de tradução original, essa que evoca o que poderíamos chamar de “internar-se em si mesmo”. Em outras palavras, a oportunidade de virada desde a qual, na passagem ao ato de analista, o até então analisante encontra no mal-entendido da transferência uma tática que o faz saltar de outra maneira para a vida. O presente artigo desdobra a primeira parte da temporalidade dessa assinatura, o fim de uma cura, a saber: o instante de se autorizar ou o que podemos deduzir por ingresso como sujeito no real.

SPLENULE FREQUENCY ON COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY SCANS IN CHILDREN, PRESENTING TO THE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT
Authors: DENİZ Sinan , GÖK Mustafa 
Published: August 2023

Objectives: Accessory spleen, also known as “splenule”, is the presence of splenic tissue in ectopic localisations. The presence of splenule is important, especially in patients planned for splenectomy, as it may cause refractory symptoms. The aim of the present study is to define the frequency of splenule(s) in children (0-17 years) who received non-contrast and contrast enhanced computed tomography (NECT and CECT) protocols in the emergency department.
Material and methods: 748 children (aged 0 to 17 years) who were admitted to the emergency department between May 2015 – September 2022 and had NECT and CECT abdominal scans were included in the study. Patients whose CT protocols were incomplete and cases with traumatic splenic injury and / or cases with poor image quality and patients with a history of splenectomy or hematologic pathology were excluded from the study (n: 100). A total of 648 patients were included in the cohort. NECT and CECT scans of all patients were assessed; the localisation of splenules as well as the antero-posterior (AP), medio-lateral (ML) and cranio-caudal (CC) dimensions of each splenule were measured.
Results: A total of 648 cases with 467 males (72.1%) and 181 females (27.9%) were included in the study. Splenules were observed in 131 (20.2%) cases. More than one splenule was observed in 21 of these 131 cases. A total number of 159 splenules were observed in total, with a mean volume of 0,72 ±0,95 ml. The most common location was found to be the splenic hilus (n=55, 41.9%).
Conclusion: Our study have stated that splenules are common anatomical variants, seen at a rate of 20,2% in this age cohort. A cross-sectional imaging should be performed to determine the presence, location, and number of the splenules before a planned splenectomy.
Current tendencies of architectural and environmental organization of underground scientific and research complexes
Authors: Salo Valeriia 
Published: August 2023

The article provides an overview of the world experience in the design of underground laboratories. Underground research complexes must provide the necessary conditions for conducting experimental research in the scientific fields in which they specialize. An underground scientific research institution should also ensure a comfortable and safe stay of scientific and technical personnel on its territory and satisfy all their social, physiological, psychological and professional needs. Urban planning, volume-spatial and functional-planning organization are regulated by the technical requirements for conducting experiments and research in specific scientific fields: astrophysics, physics of elementary particles and others. The article examines the scientific works of world scientists and architects. The problem of the development of underground space and its urban planning organization was studied in their scientific works by G. I. Hayko, H. Admiral, A. Cornaro, A. Wright, R. Sterling. Strategies and tools for the organization of underground space, as well as the main planning systems of underground urban planning objects, are highlighted in the works of L. Von der Tann. The issue of optimization of the underground space is raised in the works of Paul H. Gilbert, P. Stones. Recommendations on the urban planning and architectural planning organization of underground spaces are found in Joanna Kozytska's doctoral dissertation. The global experience of designing underground spaces is highlighted in the works of T. Jung Heng, N. A. Bakhtadze, V. Biletskyi, N. D. Pankratova. The architectural and environmental organization of the space of underground research complexes is considered in the articles of A. Bettini, Aldo Ianni, E. Kochia. Modern trends in the development of underground buildings and structures are considered in the scientific works of G. I. Hayko and Pankratova N. D. The article presents common architectural features of the organization of complexes. The urban planning, volume-spatial, functional-planning organization of the underground environment of scientific and research complexes is analyzed. Modern trends in the design of underground scientific and research complexes are determined. Characteristic features of the urban planning, volumetric-spatial, functional-planning structure of underground scientific and research complexes are given.
MODELING OF SPATIAL DISPLACEMENT OF POINTS ON THE EARTH'S SURFACE BASED ON THE RESULTS OF GEODETIC OBSERVATIONS
Authors: Kuchin Oleksandr , Brui Hanna , Yankin Oleksandr 
Published: August 2023

The results of geodetic observations and the results of three-dimensional modeling of the earth's surface displacements at the observation station, laid over the longwall 124 of the Blagodatnaya Mine in the Western Donbass (Ukraine), are presented. To determine the displacements and deformations, the ground benchmarks of the profile lines were coordinated using a GNSS receiver and an electronic total station with an accuracy of their spatial position of 4-5 mm. Processing of the results of observations was carried out using the software product SAMARa (Automation System for Mine Surveying). Spatial 3D models of the displacement of points on the earth's surface in the zone of influence of mining operations have been built. With their help, it is possible to solve problems of establishing the actual values of displacements and deformations of the earth's surface in undermined territories. A 3D model of displacements of points on the earth's surface, predicted according to the methodology of the current State Standards of Ukraine, will make it possible to assess the impact of underground mining on the ecological situation of the undermining area and the safety of civil and industrial structures in the hazardous zone.
POSSIBLE WAYS OF TRANSFORMATION IN ENERGY UKRAINE ON THE GROUNDS OF BIOSPHORE COMPATIBILITY
Authors: Predun Kostiantyn , Kushnir Oleksii , Guliyev Jamil 
Published: August 2023

The ways of further transformation of the existing energy market in Ukraine under the conditions of biosphere compatibility are analyzed. The use of renewable energy sources is one of the most important directions of modern energy policy, aimed both at improving the state of the environment and at saving traditional fuel and energy resources. Adopted legislative and regulatory acts contributed to the rapid growth of "green" energy in Ukraine. Currently, the uncontrolled construction and commissioning of exclusively solar power plants at rates that are ahead of planned indicators have caused a threat to the energy security of our state. At the same time, other types of renewable sources, which in the vast majority can be used to balance the energy market, are underdeveloped. Waste from agricultural production, solid household waste landfills under certain conditions can be transformed from sources of environmental pollution into renewable energy sources with biogas generation. Its main components are methane and carbon dioxide. One of the promising ways to increase the efficiency of fuel use can be the synthesis of methane from hydrogen, which is obtained with the use of electricity from alternative sources, and carbon dioxide, which is formed during the production of biomethane. In this way, a complex problem is solved - the simultaneous loading of nuclear power plant units, the use of excess electricity from wind and solar power plants with a decrease in the balancing capacities of thermal generation. The meaning of the ecological and energy optimization process is not to replace one energy source with another, but economic and industrial transformation, decarbonization and decentralization. To solve these problems, measures are proposed to improve the requirements of the regulatory and legislative acts in force in Ukraine on the regulation of the state's energy sector by introducing greater competition, European technical standards and transparent regulatory rules, a better investment climate in the domestic market.
CONCEPT OF SOCIOLOGISATION OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE CENTRAL ZONE OF BORODYANKA
Authors: Zozulyak Valeria , Korotkova Tatiana , Yatsenko Viktor 
Published: August 2023

This paper attempts to look at the pain caused to one of the many settlements and find ways and methods to heal it, to cure the wounds caused by the hostilities. An analysis of the long history of the Ukrainian people has revealed that the main argument at all times was national pride, strength, will, love of nature, labour, respect and memory for their ancestors, and preservation of all the heritage left to posterity. A look at the nature of the destruction makes architects look for new approaches to the recovery process. And it is the strength of social relations of the Ukrainian people that can perhaps be a new concept of socialisation of the reconstruction process, especially in areas where all the features of the people are manifested in public spaces, which in this case is the central part of the village of Borodyanka.
The concept does not imply a conventional reconstruction because a new generation will live in the city, but it should preserve the memory of its yesterday's past by giving it the opportunity to live, work, love and build a better country and its village than it was before the destruction. The article proposes the concept of complex thematic zones that will unite people, namely, raise the sociologisation of relations between residents of different age groups.
The task of the concept is to build a central space in the village where the history of the settlement will be traced, demonstrating the energy power that the residents had in overcoming difficult times and the power of joy and desire to live and love their settlement. And it is extremely important to try to reflect the history with elements that are still understandable to everyone: landscaping, information, spirituality and gratitude.

Published: August 2023

Thiazolidin-2,4-diones were intensively studied for its antidiabetic property in 1982. Thiazolidin-2,4-diones have also been demonstrated to possess different biological activity like anticancer, anti-HIV, antitumor, antimicrobial, antiviral and antiproliferative activity. 3-Benzoyl-5-(substituted benzylidine)-thiazolidin-2,4-diones and 3-p-Tolyl-5-(substituted benzylidine)-thiazolidin-2,4-diones have evaluated as structurally novel antimicrobials. A series of 5-[(SubstitutedPhenylamino)benzylidine]thiazolidine-2,4-dione derivatives 17(a-j) were synthesized by nucleophilic substitution reaction of (Z)-5-(2-Fluororobenzylidin)-thiazolidin-2,4-dione with various benzaldehyde derivatives and (Z)-5-(2-Fluororobenzylidin)-thiazolidin-2,4-dione were synthesized by condensation of thiazolidin-2,4-dione with p-fluorobenzaldehyde. The reaction was monitored by TLC on silica gel G plates and the final compounds were purified by recrystalization from ethanol.The structure of newly synthesized compounds 17(a-j) were confirmed by FTIR, 1H NMR, EIMS spectral analysis and elemental analysis. All the synthesized compounds were screened for antibacterial. Antibacterial activity was screened against Gram positive (B. subtilis, P. aeruginosa) and Gram negative bacteria (E.coli, S. aureus) by paper disc diffusion method, using nutrient agar medium. The compounds substituted with hydroxyl, methoxy, nitro and chloro on aryl ring attached with thiazolidin-2,4-dione showed good antibacterial activity. The synthesized compound: 17c and 17d showed significant antibacterial activity against gram positive bacterial strain B.subtilis and S.aureus and compound 17g showed significant antibacterial activity against gram negative bacterial strains E.coli and P.aeruginosa. The zone of inhibition was compared with standard drugs ciprofloxacin at 50 μg/ml concentration.
Sustainable Development Goals Disclosure among Top 25 Listed Companies in Kenya
Authors: Manini Muganda Munir 
Published: August 2023

The paper aimed to examine the extent of Sustainable Development Goals disclosure by the top 25 listed companies in Kenya (NSE25) based on the global sustainability reporting indicators by UNCTAD’s Guidance on Core Indicators (GCI) framework. Based on UNCTAD's Guidance on core indicators for entity reporting on contribution to SDG implementation (GCI) framework, the paper evaluated the extent of SDG disclosure by the top twenty-five (NSE25) listed companies in Kenya in four broad areas of sustainability, namely economic (8 indicators), environmental (11 indicators), social (7 indicators), and the institutional regions (7 indicators). The 2019/2020 annual, integrated and sustainability reports of 25 major firms listed on the Nairobi Securities Exchange were analysed and coded using a content analysis technique. The findings provided strong evidence that NSE 25 corporations are committed to sustainable development agenda based on the extent of the disclosure of corporate activities related to the UN SDGs, with an overall GCI score of 0.77. The economic area had the highest total GCI score at 0.94; the institutional area had the second-highest GCI score of 0.82. The social area' with a GCI Index of 0.72, was placed third, and the environmental area at 0.65. Enterprises are critical to achieving the SDGs. Hence SDG disclosure requires extensive research to identify the factors that impact it. This research contributes to the legitimacy theory by evaluating the extent of SDG disclosure by listed firms. However, the study only focuses on how the top 25 Kenyan listed corporations reveal SGD-related information; care should be given when drawing generalisations about other companies. The outcomes of this research advocate for explicit commitment and a concerted effort for SDG implementation from African business organisations. SDGs cannot be achieved just by governments; corporations must also play a significant role. The study underlines the importance of corporates adopting sustainability initiatives and including SDG information within their business reporting cycle. The results of this study contribute to the understanding of SDG reporting in Kenya and other developing economies, as it provides policy implications for corporations, governments, policymakers and agencies in terms of regulation, awareness, and capacity development relevant to sustainability reporting. The UNCTAD GCI framework is a novel approach to sustainability disclosure research. It expands knowledge of sustainability disclosure, corporate reporting, and SDG studies in Kenya and other developing countries. To the best of our knowledge, this paper is among the first to provide in-depth empirical evidence on the status of SDG disclosure among listed firms in Kenya. Furthermore, this research provided valuable information on the role of corporations in achieving sustainable development goals in response to earlier research gaps identified.
ANALYSIS OF EFFECTS OF APP PERMISSION CONCERNS ON INTENTIONS TO DISCLOSE PERSONAL INFORMATION: A CASE STUDY OF MONEY TRANSFER SERVICE APP
Authors: Amirulbahar Azis , Ruldeviyani Yova 
Published: August 2023

Data growth increased alongside the rise of mobile app users in financial services. In Indonesia, the number of financial services application downloads reached 24 million by the end of 2022, with a 28.72 percent increase in transactions. However, this growth also brings issues regarding the potential misuse of personal information, although according to the Personal Data Protection Act (UU PDP) in Indonesia, personal data is protected and kept confidential when accessed by another party. This prompts users to be more cautious in disclosing personal information. On the other hand, users are faced with risks to personal data that can be accessed by service providers, one of which is through app permissions. This research focuses on the influence of App Permission Concerns on users' intentions to disclose their personal information, with a case study of a money transfer services app in Indonesia, namely Flip, that received numerous negative reviews about users' data privacy concerns, especially when verifying using an identity card. The study uses a quantitative approach with PLS-SEM for data analysis. Convenience sampling was used, and data were collected via a questionnaire distributed through Google Forms on social media from May 9 to May 21, 2023 and a total of 224 respondents were obtained. The results of this study indicate that App Permission Concerns have a significant influence on Privacy Fatigue, Privacy Awareness, Privacy Concern and Trust. Trust significantly influences Intention to Disclose. This research is expected to contribute to future studies on app permissions and mobile app feature development.

Despite the significant number of people who may be taking pregnenolone supplements while drinking alcohol (ethanol), the widely documented cerebrovascular actions of pregnenolone and ethanol, and the critical dependence of cerebrovascular function on cerebral artery diameter, there are no studies addressing the effect of pregnenolone + ethanol in combination on cerebral artery diameter. We investigated this by evaluating the effect of this combination on middle cerebral artery diameter in male and female C57BL/6J mice, both in vivo and in vitro. The use of de-endothelialized, in vitro pressurized middle cerebral artery segments allowed us to conduct a concentration-response study of constriction induced by pregnenolone ± ethanol, in which drug action could be evaluated independently of circulating and endothelial factors. In both male and female animals, pregnenolone at lower concentrations (≤1 µM) was found to synergize with 50 mM ethanol to cause vasoconstriction. In both sexes, this synergism was lost as one or both vasoconstrictors approached their maximally effective concentrations (75 mM and 10 µM for ethanol and pregnenolone, respectively), whether this was evaluated in vitro or in vivo using a cranial window. Vasoconstriction by pregnenolone + ethanol was abolished by 1 µM paxilline, indicating BK channel involvement. Moreover, cell-free recordings of BK channel activity in cerebral artery myocyte membranes showed that 10 µM pregnenolone and pregnenolone +50 mM ethanol reduced channel activity to an identical extent, suggesting that these drugs inhibit cerebrovascular BK channels via a common mechanism or mechanisms. Indeed, pregnenolone was found to disrupt allosteric coupling to Ca2+-driven gating, as previously reported for ethanol.

Published: August 2023

BackgroundThe asymptomatic nature of COVID-19 coupled with differential testing are confounders in the assessment of SARS-CoV-2 incidence among people living with HIV (PLWH). As various comorbidities increase the risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection, it is crucial to assess the potential contribution of HIV to the risk of acquiring COVID-19. Our study aimed to compare the anti-SARS-CoV-2 IgG seroprevalence among people living with and without HIV.MethodsPLWH were enrolled in the HIV units of two health facilities in Douala, Cameroon. Participants were consecutively enrolled, among which 47 were people living with HIV and 31 were HIV-negative patients. SARS-CoV-2 antibody tests were performed on all participants. Overall, medical consultation was conducted. For HIV-positive participants only, viral load, antiretroviral regimen, duration of HIV infection, and duration of antiretroviral treatment were retrieved from medical records.ResultsWe found an overall SARS-CoV-2 IgG seroprevalence of 42.31% within the study population, with a SARS-CoV-2 IgG seroprevalence of 44.6% for PLWH and 38.7% among those without HIV infection; no significant statistical difference was observed. Adjusting for sex, HIV status, and BCG vaccination, the odds of previous SARS-CoV-2 infection were higher among married persons in the study population. Sex, BCG vaccination, and HIV status were not found to be associated with SARS-CoV-2 IgG seropositivity.ConclusionsOur findings support the lack of association between HIV status and susceptibility to SARS-CoV-2 infection. The ARV regimen, suppressed viral load, and Tenofovir boasted ARV regimen might not affect the body’s immune response after exposure to SARS-CoV-2 among PLWH. Thus, if HIV is well treated, the susceptibility to COVID-19 in PLWH would be like that of the general population.
