Numerical simulation of interaction bored pile and soil mass with taking into account the dilatancy of the soil
Authors: Boyko Igor , Krivenko Oleg , Gavryliuk Oleksandr 
Published: September 2023

Pile testing is a necessary and mandatory process of construction buildings and structures erected on pile foundations. There is a need for a correct assessment of the interaction of the elements of the "foundation-pile" system for the reliable and effective design of pile foundations.
The use of soil parameters provided in reports on engineering and geological investigations, without their clarification, leads to a significant discrepancy in the results of numerical modeling of the interaction of piles with the foundation and data from real observations of their settlement as a result of loads. Therefore, there is a need to identify the calculated parameters of the adopted soil model in order to match the simulation results with the results of experimental studies in a wide range of loads.
In this paper, a model of ideal elastic-plastic behavior of the soil environment using the Mohr-Coulomb strength criterion was chosen to describe the interaction behavior of the elements of the "foundation-pile" system. When using this model, it is necessary to take into account a number of its inherent shortcomings, for example, not taking into account the change of the young`s modulus depending the change of the stress-strain state. Additionally, this work examines the influence of the dilatancy effect of sandy soil.
At the initial stage of loads up to 15% of the total settlement of the pile (displacement resulting from potential pile failure), the value of the young`s modulus (E) makes a significant contribution to its operation. At the later stages of loading, significant plastic shear deformations occur in the soil, and accordingly, the leading parameters are the soil strength parameters, in this case, the specific cohesion (c) and the friction angle(φ). Since in this work the drill pile passes through sandy soil for a considerable length, it is also important to take into account the effect of soil dilatation(ψ).
The results of a comparison field test of the bored pile with large-diameter and their numerical simulation of interaction with sandy soils are presented, and the calculation parameters of the soil environment model are identified in order to match the simulation results with experimental data at the corresponding specified loads.
A convergence of up to 5% was achieved in a wide range of loads on the bored pile.
Metaphysics of Personal-Creative Synchronisations in Music
Authors: Markova Olena 
Published: September 2023

The purpose of this study is to trace metaphysical - supraphysical indicators of thinking in the parallels of expressive features that attest to belonging to epochally correlated layers of creativity of composers and performers, although they are in no way conditioned by personal contacts or communication with communities that could influence the creator-musician. The research methodology is determined by the intonational approach of B. Asafiev’s school in Ukraine with emphasis on its comparative and hermeneutic components, as found in the works of D. Androsova, O. Kozarenko, I. Kotlyarevskyi, I. Liashenko, Liu Bintsyan, O. Markova, O. Muravska, O. Roshchenko, O. Sokolova. The following methods are also of special use: art historical-analytical, descriptive-historical, cultural-regional, religious studies, and biographical-historical. The scientific novelty of the work is manifested: in the independent interpretation of the concept of parallel discoveries as the metaphysics of personal-creative synchronisations ("metaphysics of historical proximity"), in the originality of the perspective of the analysis of works and artifacts, as well as in the fact that for the first time in this perspective the parallels of creative discoveries of the 1960s are presented, verist features in F. Chopin's Songs, the invention of dodecaphony in the 20th century and other significant factors in the creative institutions of musical history. Conclusions. Tracing expressive analogies in the works of masters who belonged to the same epochal stratum of the historical evolution of music, and who, by the conditions of their existence, had no personal or creative-informational contacts, shows that, as a result of their creativity, they came to a commonality of expressive typologies at the level of style, genre, ideological, and creative features. This applies to the features of realism-verism in Chopin's Songs and some other works, reactionary to the ideas of "fathers and children" of the nineteenth-century Sixties, etc., which together testify to the "metaphysics of historical proximity", understood as personal and creative synchronicity produced by metaphysically superphysically realised contact with the information field produced by the epochal mentality of mankind.Key words: metaphysics of history, metaphysics of personal-creative synchronisation, musical expressiveness, style in music, style of the era, musical genre.

If You Are a Political Philosopher, Why Are You Not a Cosmopolitan?
Authors: Caraus Tamara 
Published: September 2023

The final chapter examines once again the reluctance of political philosophy to be equal to the migrants’ motto, No One Is Illegal, and asks how a political philosophy can be non-cosmopolitan if, as a philosophy, it operates with the principles of universality and generality. Starting with John Rawls’ Theory of Justice, which was applied by other authors to the world as a whole while Rawls claimed that his theory was for the liberal nation-state, the chapter argues that cosmopolitanism exists as a potential and an excess generated by the principles of universality and generality, and maps four ways of approaching this potential: ignoring, characteristic for most of the canonical political philosophers from Plato to Rawls; taming by those who advance political theories that reconcile the universal and the particular; and, rarely, affirming the excess, as did Kant or Marx among few others. The ignored potential can be detected by cosmopolitically oriented readers, but cosmopolitanism cannot be involuntary; it was born and remains a self-assumed position. By ignoring or taming its own cosmopolitan potential, political philosophy perpetuates exclusion, so political philosophers must find the courage to think the world anew.
Remaking Iconic British Films of the 1960s and 1970s
Authors: Rasmus Agnieszka 
Published: September 2023

This chapter discusses two moments in the ‘special’ relationship between the British film industry and Hollywood to provide a comprehensive background behind the phenomenon of cross-cultural remakes. First of all, it examines the impact that the Hollywood film industry exerted on the golden age of British cinema in the 1960s and early 1970s when several iconic British films were made with substantial Hollywood financial and creative involvement. The chapter then explains the reasons why Hollywood would return to these classic and cult British titles in the 2000s to give them a contemporary makeover, providing a broad cultural and historical context from within both sides of the Atlantic. Cross-cultural exchange, talent flows, the impact of the digital era and DVD culture are analysed together with the importance of Hollywood remakes in archiving and reviving old classics.
The Poetics of Spiritual Instruction
Authors: O’Malley Austin 
Published: September 2023

Much Persian sufi literature is explicitly didactic, aiming to instruct its readers and motivate pious reform. Moving beyond a recapitulation of religious content, The Poetics of Spiritual Instruction investigates the performative function of didactic poetry for mystical audiences, focusing in particular on the verse of Farid al-Din ʿAttar, a central figure of the tradition best known for long narrative poems imbued with edifying sufi themes. Through a close reading of ʿAttar’s oeuvre alongside contemporary sufi texts, the monograph shows how ʿAttar uses frame-tales, metapoetic commentary, and allegories to think through his relationship with his readers, imagine and guide their reactions to his work, and perform his instructive authority. By teasing out this implicit, recipient-centred poetics, the book recovers sufi didacticism’s participatory, interactive character and shows how the act of reading was invested with ritual significance as a spiritual exercise aimed at the purification of the soul.
Visionary Company
Authors: Bratton Francesca 
Published: September 2023

This book examines the poetry of Hart Crane and his circle within transnational modernist periodical culture. It reappraises Crane’s poetry and reception and introduces several lost works by the poet, including critical prose, reviews and ‘Nopal’, a poem written in Mexico. Through its exploration of Crane’s close engagement with periodical culture, it provides a rich and detailed panorama of twentieth-century literary and artistic communities. In particular, this monograph offers a vivid portrait of forgotten periodicals and their artistic communities, examines the periodical contexts in which modernist poetry fused material and aesthetic experimentation and explores Crane’s important and neglected influence on modern and contemporary poetry. The appendices contain an overview of Crane’s periodical publishers, a timeline of Crane’s periodical publications and a timeline of Crane’s periodical rejections.
‘A gap in your library, Madam’: The Lives of Professional Women
Authors: Reus Anne 
Published: September 2023

This chapter focusses on the gaps in Woolf’s canon, as I argue that Woolf ignores changing modes of female authorship and systematically silences and misrepresents mid- and late-Victorian novelists to maintain the illusion that Victorian women’s writing was solely carried out by domestic amateurs. It explores Woolf’s engagement with George Eliot as well as popular writers Mary Augusta Ward and Margaret Oliphant to demonstrate that Woolf excludes the high-art woman of letters alongside bestselling popular writers to create a narrative of artistic exceptionalism.

With the help of a hydrothermal approach in this study, we could provide flower-like nanostructures (NSs) of zinc oxide (ZnO) doped with Tb (FL-NS Tb3+/ZnO). Then, FL-NS Tb3+/ZnO morphology was investigated by energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), and map analysis. The results revealed higher activity centers and porosity of this nanocomposite, which were followed by acceptable electrochemical function. Hence, it can be utilized for fabricating an electrochemical sensor with an appropriate response for the simultaneous determination of kynurenic acid (KYN) and tryptophan (TRP). However, as compared with the modified carbon paste electrode (FL-NS Tb3+/ZnO/CPE), the bare carbon paste electrode (BCPE) exhibited a weak response toward KYN and TRP but the modified electrode was followed by a high current response for KYN and TRP at a potential 0.35 and 0.809 V. Therefore, cyclic voltammetry (CV) was applied in optimal experimental conditions to study the electrochemical behaviors of KYN and TRP over the surface of the proposed modified electrode. Moreover, we used differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) for quantitative measurements. It was found that this new modified electrode linearly ranged from 0.001 to 700.0 μM, with detection limits of 0.34 nM and 0.22 nM for KYN and TRP, respectively. In addition, KYN and TRP in real samples can be analyzed by this sensor, with a recovery of 97.75%−103.6% for the spiked KYN and TRP in real samples.

Published: September 2023

BackgroundDuring cardiac surgery that involved cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) procedure, gastrointestinal (GI) system was known to be vulnerable to complications such as GI bleeding. Our study aimed to determine the incidence and risk factors associated with GI bleeding in children who received CPB as part of cardiac surgery.MethodsThis retrospective study enrolled patients aged &lt;18 years who underwent cardiac surgery with CPB from 2013 to 2019 at Shanghai Children's Medical Center. The primary outcome was the incidence of postoperative GI bleeding in children, and the associated risk factors with postoperative GI bleeding episodes were evaluated.ResultsA total of 21,893 children who underwent cardiac surgery with CPB from 2013 to 2019 were included in this study. For age distribution, 636 (2.9%) were neonates, 10,984 (50.2%) were infants, and 10,273 (46.9%) were children. Among the 410 (1.9%) patients with GI bleeding, 345 (84.2%) survived to hospital discharge. Incidence of GI bleeding in neonates, infants and children were 22.6% (144/636), 2.0% (217/10,984) and 0.5% (49/10,273), respectively. The neonates (22.6%) group was associated with highest risk of GI bleeding. Patients with GI bleeding showed longer length of hospital stays (25.8 ± 15.9 vs. 12.5 ± 8.9, P &lt; 0.001) and higher mortality (15.9% vs. 1.8%, P &lt; 0.001). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that age, weight, complicated surgery, operation time, use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), low cardiac output syndrome (LCOS), hepatic injury, artery lactate level, and postoperative platelet counts were significantly associated with increased risk of GI bleeding in children with congenital heart disease (CHD) pediatric patients that underwent CPB procedure during cardiac surgery.ConclusionThe study results suggest that young age, low weight, long operation time, complicated surgery, use of ECMO, LCOS, hepatic injury, high arterial lactate level, and low postoperative platelet counts are independently associated with GI bleeding after CPB in children.

Published: September 2023

BackgroundEx vivo lung perfusion (EVLP) uses continuous normothermic perfusion to reduce ischemic damage and to improve post-transplant outcomes, specifically for marginal donor lungs after the donation after circulatory death. Despite major efforts, the optimal perfusion protocol and the composition of the perfusate in clinical lung transplantation have not been identified. Our study aims to compare the concentration levels of cytokine/chemokine in different perfusion solutions during EVLP, after 1 and 9 h of cold static preservation (CSP) in a porcine cardiac arrest model, and to correlate inflammatory parameters to oxygenation capacities.MethodsFollowing cardiac arrest, the lungs were harvested and were categorized into two groups: immediate (I-EVLP) and delayed EVLP (D-EVLP), after 1 and 9 h of CSP, respectively. The D-EVLP lungs were perfused with either Steen or modified Custodiol-N solution containing only dextran (CD) or dextran and albumin (CDA). The cytokine/chemokine levels were analyzed at baseline (0 h) and after 1 and 4 h of EVLP using Luminex-based multiplex assays.ResultsWithin 4 h of EVLP, the concentration levels of TNF-α, IL-6, CXCL8, IFN-γ, IL-1α, and IL-1β increased significantly (P &lt; 0.05) in all experimental groups. The CD solution contained lower concentration levels of TNF-α, IL-6, CXCL8, IFN-γ, IL-2, IL-12, IL-10, IL-4, IL-1RA, and IL-18 (P &lt; 0.05) compared with those of the Steen solution. The concentration levels of all experimental groups have correlated negatively with the oxygenation capacity values (P &lt; 0.05). Protein concentration levels did not reach statistical significance for I-EVLP vs. D-EVLP and CD vs. CDA solutions.ConclusionIn a porcine cardiac arrest model, a longer period of CSP prior to EVLP did not result in an enhanced protein secretion into perfusates. The CD solution reduced the cytokine/chemokine secretion most probably by iron chelators and/or by the protecting effects of dextran. Supplementing with albumin did not further reduce the cytokine/chemokine secretion into perfusates. These findings may help in optimizing the preservation procedure of the lungs, thereby increasing the donor pool of organs.
Case report: Coronary atherosclerosis in a patient with long-standing very low LDL-C without lipid-lowering therapy

Published: September 2023

BackgroundApoB-containing lipoproteins including low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) are necessary for the development of atherosclerosis, and lifelong exposure to low serum levels of LDL-C have been associated with a substantial reduction of cardiovascular risk. Although plaque regression has been observed in patients with serum LDL-C less than 70–80 mg/dl on lipid-lowering therapy, an LDL-C level under which atherosclerosis cannot develop has not been established.Case presentationIn this case we describe a 60-year-old man with well-controlled diabetes mellitus and hypertension who presented to the hospital after an acute stroke likely due to an atrial myxoma discovered on imaging. A coronary computed tomography angiography scan performed in preparation for the planned surgical myxoma resection revealed an anomalous origin of the right coronary artery as well as evidence of nonobstructive coronary atherosclerosis in the right coronary and non-anomalous left coronary system. Despite not having ever been on any lipid-lowering therapy, this patient was found to have low LDL-C levels (&lt;40 mg/dl) during this admission and on routine laboratory data collected over the prior 16 years. His family history strongly suggested heterozygous familial hypobetalipoproteinemia as a possible diagnosis.ConclusionsThis case illustrates that even long-standing, very low levels of LDL-C may be insufficient to completely prevent atherosclerosis and emphasizes the importance of primordial prevention of all cardiovascular risk factors.

BackgroundContinuous glucose monitoring (CGM) has revolutionized diabetes management, but a comprehensive analysis of its clinical implementation is lacking. This study aims to explore CGM in diabetes practice over the past decade using bibliometric analysis. It will identify trends, research focal points, and provide a framework for future investigations.Materials and methodsThe Web of Science Core Collection (WOSCC) was utilized to acquire literature pertaining to the employment of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) in diabetes that was published between the years 2012 and 2022, and to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the associated citation data. To achieve bibliometric visualization and analysis of the collated data, the bibliography package in the Rstudio(v.4.2.2), Citespace 6.2.R4, and VOS viewer were employed.ResultsA total of 3024 eligible publications were extracted from 91 countries, with the United States being the leading country in terms of the number of issued articles. Furthermore, the annual publication rate has shown a gradual increase during the past decade. Among the various journals in this field, DIABETES TECHNOLOGY &amp; THERAPEUTICS was identified as the most highly cited one. Keyword clustering analysis of the extracted publications indicates that the research hotspots in the past decade have primarily focused on “continuous glucose monitoring”, “glycemic variability”, “type 1 diabetes”, “hypoglycemia”, and “glycemic control”. Moreover, the analysis of keyword emergence reveals that “Time In Range” and “Young Adult” represent the current research frontiers for the years 2012-2022.ConclusionThe concept of Time in Range (TIR) has garnered considerable attention as a significant area of inquiry and an emerging research trend in the clinical practice of Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) for Diabetes Mellitus. Moreover, recent investigations have demonstrated a growing focus on young adults with type 1 diabetes as the research population of interest. In the foreseeable future, research endeavors will persist in the pursuit of improving glycemic management among young adults through the utilization of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) technology, while also delving into the examination of the Time in Range metric via supplementary clinical investigations.
