Authors: Mohan J. Manjima , Sivaramalingam Geethapriya , Govindaraj Jayaraj 
Published: January 2025

Objectives
This study aims to retrospectively evaluate the role of multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), including diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) with apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) mapping, in predicting the histopathological upgrade of B3 breast lesions. The primary objective is to calculate the mean ADC values for B3 and B5 lesions. The secondary objective involves evaluating the kinetic enhancement patterns of these lesions.

Materials and Methods
This retrospective analysis includes patients who underwent MR mammography between 2019 and 2023 in our institution and subsequently underwent trucut biopsy and histopathologically proven to be either B3 or B5 category breast lesions.

Results
Student’s t-test was used to find out the significant difference in ADC between the two groups. B5 lesions had lower mean ADC value (0.8 ± 0.2 ×10–3 mm2/sec, p = 0.026), whereas B3 lesions had higher mean ADC value (1.1 ± 0.3 × 10–3 mm2/sec, p = 0.026).

Conclusion
The multiparametric MRI including DWI in high-risk breast lesions would help in predicting their pathological behavior non-invasively. Identifying the mean ADC value and MR morphological characteristics in these lesions may guide clinicians in reducing misdiagnosis and over-treatment.

Family is the smallest unit in society that significantly contributes to protecting family members, one of which is protecting and preventing sexual violence against children and adolescents. The family intervention model (FIM) is a family-based intervention model through efforts to change cognitive, affective, and behavioral aspects. This model seeks to impart knowledge and change parents' behavior concerning the issue of sexual violence in children and adolescents through the application of the family intervention model. This research used a quasi-experimental mixed-method with both quantitative and qualitative approaches. This study found that the paired sample t-test statistically showed that family intervention model contributed to changes in parental behavior toward sexual violence (p-value = 0.000). The results of the regression analysis showed that the family intervention model helped bring bout changes in family behavior toward sexual violence in children and adolescents, by 64%. It is importance to improve the role of parents in increasing communication and assertiveness within the family as a preventive measure against sexual violence.

Published: January 2025

This study examines the effect of mindful parenting and parenting bonding simultaneously or partially in decreasing parenting stress in mothers of children with cerebral palsy in Yogyakarta. This study used a quantitative survey method by utilizing three psychological scales: the Parenting Stress Scale, the Mindful Parenting Scale, and the Parenting Bonding Scale. The study population consisted of women who were members of the cerebral palsy community in Yogyakarta. A total of 38 samples were obtained using a simple random sampling technique. Multiple linear regression analysis was used to test the hypothesis. The findings revealed that (1) mindful parenting and parenting bonding significantly affected parenting stress (F = 9.890; R = 0.601; p < 0.01); (2) there was a significant negative effect of mindful parenting on parenting stress (t = -2.745; partial r = -0.115; p < 0.01); and (3) parental bonding did not significantly affect parenting stress (t = -0.684; r partial = -0.684; p > 0.05). Together, mindful parenting and parenting bonding can help decrease parenting stress by 36.1%, with mindful parenting contributing 30.15% to decreasing stress. These results suggest that mindful parenting and parenting bonding are highly protective factors against parenting stress for mothers raising children with cerebral palsy in Yogyakarta
Calculation of steel frames in single-storey industrial buildings for progressive collapse by the quasi-static method
Authors: Kirkolup E. R. , Kharlamov I. V. 
Published: January 2025

Introduction. According to the legislation of the Russian Federation and the current regulatory documentation, when designing buildings and structures of high consequences, it is necessary to make calculations for a progressive collapse caused by an emergency situation. There are four methods of analyzing buildings and structures for progressive collapse: linear-elastic static (quasi-static) method; nonlinear static method; linear-elastic dynamic method; and nonlinear dynamic method. A comprehensive analysis procedure with the use of all four methods is considered to be most effective, but such a comprehensive analysis requires additional work of the design engineer, therefore it is of practical importance to use one of the analysis methods mentioned above. This article describes the peculiarities of calculating metal structures for progressive collapse using the quasi-static method.Materials and methods. A compartment of an industrial building of high consequences class was taken as the object under study. The static calculation of the spatial scheme and the constructive calculation of the frame elements were performed in the Lira 10.12 program. Within the object under the study, we analyzed three options for the transition from the primary design scheme to the secondary one. In addition, we considered two more options that do not imply the removal of load-bearing elements from the design scheme after their failure.Results. Despite the fact that, when checking the selected columns for progressive collapse, we obtained ambiguous results for complete movements of nodes adjacent to the lower ends of the columns being removed (loosened) as a result of special impact, and some elements were not checked for design combination of forces, this calculation scheme should be considered resistant to progressive collapse.Discussion and conclusions. The calculation options used for progressive collapse analysis by the quasi-static method, when checked for design combination of forces, have shown identical results. The difference between the calculation options based on removing parts of the elements in which their operation fails, and the options based on unbinding these elements, has been about 2-3%.

Published: January 2025

Introduction. The increase in traffic intensity and the prospects for the development of high-speed railway transport require solving the problem of the effectiveness of vibration protection of transport infrastructure facilities by developing innovative solutions. Currently, the issues of combating vibration in relation to the span structures of bridges and overpasses are insufficiently studied. The purpose of the work is to study the promising directions of vibration protection of bridge structures based on the use of dynamic vibration dampers.Research methodology. To achieve the goal of research and implementation of effective technical solutions in the field of vibration protection of bridge structuresimproved design of dynamic vibration damper is proposed in which inertial mass is fixed on two springs, upper of which is connected to structure protected from vibration, and lower spring to base or foundation of object. Oscillations are damped due to oscillations in antiphase due to free and forced oscillations of auxiliary inertial masses protected from vibrations. This technical solution makes it possible to balance forces of elastic interaction of damping device and object protected against vibration and moments from these forces.Results. As a result of experimental studies of the prototype of the improved dynamic vibration damper installed on the vibration stand, it was found that the vibration levels in all directions significantly decreased, including in the vertical direction by 5.7 times.Discussion and conclusion. The obtained positive results of experiments and the relative simplicity of the proposed design make it possible to propose this method of vibration protection of superstructures for both newly designed and already in operation facilities. It is especially important to minimize the possibility of resonant phenomena and pitching. The results of the study will make it possible in the future to ensure the effectiveness of vibration protection of oscillating machines, mechanisms and infrastructure facilities.

Published: January 2025

In this study, the authors take the presented pedagogical approach, Digital Narratives in Translation Training (DNTT), as the starting point to promote innovative thinking in translation education. Specifically, it evaluates the framework’s impact on three dimensions of cognitive creativity: associative reasoning, visual structuring, and ideational fluency. In the present study, a quasi-experimental research design was employed, and the participants were 63, divided into two experimental and control groups to assess the impact of integrating digital storytelling in translation training. The results presented have revealed a relatively significant improvement, particularly in the conceptual fluency that has dramatically enhanced the generation of multiple and novel ideas. This means that the performance of associative reasoning was moderately improved to support the enhanced creative ideas connected to the translation tasks. Visual structuring, however, only needed moderate advance, indicating specific problems in transferring spatial and visual factors into cognitive processes of interpretation. The quantitative data and graphical illustrations serve as evidence of those outcomes and underscore the value of the DNTT framework for developing mental and creative skills. All these outcomes show that the integration of the use of digital stories is a strategic factor in the training of translators. The study encourages higher learning institutions in translation to embrace progressive, creativity-based strategies alongside mainstream strategies to train translation students in innovative skills. This study attempts to contribute to reducing cognitive creativity gaps in translation training to enhance the field's educational model.
