Adverbial Preposition bliz: Semantic Evolution and Current Tendencies of Usage in Verbal Communication
Authors: Saraykin I. 
Published: May 2023

Semantic development and modern state of the prepositional system is an actual area of scientific research. Prepositions form a part of language system, which is located at the junction of grammar and lexical semantics. Consequently, all registered changes (grammatical changes as well as semantic changes) give evidence of basic, fundamental cognitive shifts in language consciousness of speakers. The researcher’s goal is to explain the nature and the pattern of these shifts, describing the shifts’ regularities by applying the formal methodology. The proposed paper presents a fragment of such description.
Aim — describe the obsolete and modern non-spatial meanings of adverbial preposition "bliz".
Methodology — the description involves semantic and syntactic analysis of adverbial preposition "bliz", which permits to distinguish the semantic shades being actualized in the context. The research is carried out on the material of the Main, Middle-Russian, Church-Slavonic, Media and Poetic Corpora, as well as the RuTenTen Corpora, which represents the tendencies
of the preposition usage in the modern discourse. Scientific novelty for the theory of communication is in the fact that the paper describes non-spatial meanings of adverbial preposition "bliz", which are typical mostly for the Internet-communication — a live conversation environment. From the point of general linguistic view the novelty is justified by the necessity of complete functional words’ description, the description that consists the basis of the core grammar compulsory for language formalization and communication between a human and Artificial Intelligence. Results — the paper presents a semantic taxonomy of non-spatial meanings
of adverbial preposition "bliz".
Practical significance — presented examples can be used as an illustrative material in the university courses, such as the theory communication, lexicology and the history of language.
Syntactic Features of Legal Communication (The Study of English Wills)
Authors: Velikodnev O. 
Published: May 2023

The investigation focuses on the study of syntactic means used in English wills. The contribution demonstrates the expressive potential of syntactic means; analyses means of minor and major syntax used in the genre under consideration. The paper reveals the frequency of their use. It also considers the question of appropriateness of expressive syntactic means for legal discourse and describes their functional-stylistic features.
The research has allowed to outline the features of the syntactic arrange-ment of wills and to single out the most typical syntactic structures (nominative and verbal word combinations on the level of the minor syntax, complex sentences on the level of the major syntax). The contribution has also re-vealed syntactic expressive means used in English wills (inversion, syn-tactic repetition, including parallel construction, and polysyndeton) and has described their functional-stylistic features. The investigation has defined the functional status of the expressive syntactic means which encompasses clear and accurate expounding of the content and preservation of the text structure (which has shaped as a result of the historical development of the genre). The methodology of research include generalisation, description, definitive analysis, linguostylistic analysis, and context analysis.
Financialization and Commodity Markets Serial Dependence
Authors: Da Zhi , Tang Ke , Tao Yubo , Yang Liyan 
Published: May 2023

Recent financialization in commodity markets makes it easier for institutional investors to trade a portfolio of commodities via various commodity-indexed products. We present several pieces of novel causal evidence that daily exposure to such index trading results in price overshoots and reversals, as reflected in negative daily return autocorrelations, only among commodities in that index. This is because index trading propagates nonfundamental noise to all indexed commodities. We present direct evidence for such noise propagation using commodity news sentiment data.

Authors: Sánchez Manuel Bona , Callejón Victoria Alejandra López , Puyuelo Irene Oto , Vázquez Mercedes Rubio , Burrero Luisa Vázquez , Blázquez Eduardo García 
Published: May 2023

Aim The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a combined treatment strategy involving the use of a light convex ostomy appliance (Easifiex Confort Convex Light) and a fiexible ring (Brava moldable) in reducing the number of leak episodes and improving self-reported satisfaction in patients with digestive ostomies and early effiuent leakage. Methods A multicenter prospective study was conducted across 54 stoma units in Spain, with 257 patients screened and 244 completing the study. Clinical data were collected at baseline (V1) and 2–3 weeks after discharge (V2) by specialist stoma care nurses. The primary outcome was a reduction in the mean number of leak episodes per day. The secondary outcome was a change in self-reported satisfaction on a scale of 0–10. A multivariate analysis was conducted to identify the patient profile that benefited the most from the treatment strategy. Results The results showed a significant reduction in the mean number of leak episodes from 3.4±5.2 at baseline to 1.3±2.3 at the end of the study (P<0.0001). Additionally, the mean self-reported satisfaction with the device increased from 5.1±2 at baseline to 7.2±1.7 at the end of the study (P<.00001). A predictive model with an area under the curve of 0.74 was developed to identify the patient profile that benefited the most from the treatment strategy. Conclusions The study confirmed that patients with ostomy and early effiuent leakage benefit from convex light ostomy appliances and fiexible rings. To improve satisfaction, those with worse outcomes and higher needs should be treated early with the CONAN strategy (convex system and a seal) if they exhibit leakage, longer hospital stays, emergency surgery and previous use of open system and single-piece appliances. This combined treatment strategy can improve outcomes and satisfaction in patients with digestive ostomies and early effiuent leakage.
How do older women perceive the occupations and activities within their maternal role? Findings from an exploratory survey
Authors: Maman Ruth , Rand Debbie , Avrech Bar Michal 
Published: May 2023

Background
Participation in meaningful everyday occupations and life-roles is crucial to the health and wellbeing of older adults. However, little is known regarding meaningful life-roles of older women. Although the maternal-role remains meaningful to women throughout their life, previous literature focused on earlier stages of motherhood.

Aims
To describe the occupations and perceptions within the maternal-role of older women.

Materials and method
An online survey was distributed via social media. It included closed and open-ended questions regarding the engagement and relatedness of occupations to the maternal-role; and the perceptions of older women towards their maternal-role. Quantitative data was analyzed using descriptive statistics, and thematic analysis was used to analyze data from open-ended questions.

Results
The survey was answered by 317 community-dwelling older mothers (aged 65–87). High frequency of engagement and relatedness of occupations to the maternal-role were found. Most participants perceived the maternal-role as a never-ending and evolving life role. Seven categories, describing both ’doing’ and ’being’ aspects of the maternal-role, were identified.

Conclusion
The maternal-role is meaningful to older women. It continues to develop over time, and includes new occupations which have not been central at earlier stages of motherhood.

Significance
These findings have significant implications for healthcare professionals striving to promote healthy aging by enhancing the participation of older women in meaningful occupations. Further research is needed to broaden the understanding of the unique characteristics of the maternal-role at older age.
Calcineurin-inhibitor free immunosuppression after lung transplantation – a single center case-control study in 51 patients converted to Mechanistic Target of Rapamycin (mTOR) inhibitors
Authors: Gottlieb Jens , Fischer Bettina , Schupp Jonas C. , Golpon Heiko 
Published: May 2023

Background
Data on calcineurin-inhibitor (CNI) free immunosuppression after lung transplantation (LTx) are limited. Aim of this study was to investigate CNI-free immunosuppression using mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) inhibitors.

Methods
This retrospective analysis was performed at a single center. Adult patients after LTx without CNI during the follow-up period were included. Outcome was compared to those LTx patients with malignancy who continued CNI.

Results
Among 2,099 patients in follow-up, fifty-one (2.4%) were converted median 6.2 years after LTx to a CNI-free regimen combining mTOR inhibitors with prednisolone and an antimetabolite, two patients were switched to mTOR inhibitors with prednisolone only. In 25 patients, malignancies without curative treatment options were the reason of the conversion, with a 1-year survival of 36%. The remaining patients had a 1-year survival of 100%. Most common non-malignant indication was neurological complications (n = 9). Fifteen patients were re-converted to a CNI-based regimen. The median duration of CNI-free immunosuppression was 338 days. No acute rejections were detected in 7 patients with follow-up biopsies. In multivariate analysis, CNI-free immunosuppression were not associated with improved survival after malignancy. The majority of patients with neurological diseases improved 12 months after conversion. Glomerular filtration rate increased by median 5 (25 and 75% percentiles -6; +18) ml/min/1.73 m2.

Conclusions
mTOR inhibitor based CNI-free immunosuppression may be safely performed in selected patients after LTx. This approach was not associated with improved survival in patients with malignancy. Significant functional improvements were observed in patients with neurological diseases.
Validation and psychometric properties of the Arabic version of Hamilton Depression Rating Scale 7 items (HAMD-7) among non-clinical and clinical samples of Lebanese adults
Authors: Obeid Sahar , Azzi Vanessa , Hallit Souheil 
Published: May 2023

Background
The Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HDRS or HAMD) is widely used scale for depression assessment. A shortened version of the HDRS, composed of 7 items, was implemented. The latter is timesaving compared to the original version, while still providing similar precision. Our objective in this study was to assess the psychometric properties of the Arabic HAMD-7 scale among non-clinical and clinical samples of Lebanese adults.

Methods
In study 1, 443 Lebanese citizens enrolled in this cross-sectional study (June-September 2021). The total sample in study 1 was divided into two subsamples to conduct the exploratory-to-confirmatory factor analysis (EFA-to-CFA). Another cross-sectional study was conducted in September 2022 on another sample of Lebanese patients (independent from the sample of study 1) and included 150 patients attending two psychology clinics. The Montgomery–Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS), Lebanese Depression Scale (LDS), Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAM-A) and Lebanese Anxiety Scale (LAS) were used to assess the validity of the HAMD-7 scale.

Results
The results of the EFA (subsample 1; study 1) showed that the HAM-D-7 items converged into a one-factor solution (McDonald’s ω = .78). The CFA (subsample 2; study 1) confirmed the one-factor solution obtained in the EFA (ω = .79). CFA indicated that fit of the one-factor model of the HAM-D-7 was acceptable: χ2/df = 27.88/14 = 1.99, RMSEA = .066 (90% CI = .028, .102), SRMR = .043, CFI = .960, TLI = .939. All indices suggested that configural, metric, and scalar invariance was supported across gender. The HAMD-7 scale score positively correlated with the MADRS (r = 0.809; p<0.001), LDS (r = 0.872; p<0.001), HAM-A (r = 0.645; p<0.001) and LAS (r = 0.651; p<0.001) scales scores. The optimal cutoff score between healthy individuals and depressive patients for the HAMD-7 was at a value = 5.50 (Se = 82.8% and Sp = 62.4%). The positive and negative predicted values for the HAMD-7 were 25.1% and 96.0%, respectively. The positive and negative likelihood ratios were 2.20 and 0.28 respectively. No significant difference was found between the non-clinical total sample (study 1) and the clinical sample (study 2) in terms of HAM-D-7 scores (5.24 ± 4.43 vs 4.54 ± 5.06; t(589) = 1.609; p = .108).

Conclusion
Psychometric properties of the Arabic HAMD-7 scale are satisfactory, warranting its use clinically and in research. This scale seems highly efficient for ruling out depression; however, those with positive scores need a referral to a mental health professional for deeper evaluation. HAMD-7 might be self-administered by non-clinical subjects. Future studies are recommended to additionally confirm our results.
Prevention of modern slavery within sex work: Study protocol of a mixed methods project looking at the role of adult services websites
Authors: Keighley Rachel , Sanders Teela 
Published: May 2023

Background
The core challenge this study addressed is that Adult Services Websites (ASWs) are an extensive and pervasive feature of the digital world that facilitate the advertising, negotiation and purchase of sexual services yet are also considered to be harbourers of sexual exploitation, modern slavery and human trafficking (MSHT) Giommoni L. et al. 2021, Milivojevic S. et al. 2020, Sanders, T., et al. 2018. Whilst awareness of cases of internet facilitated MSHT has entered the public and policy domain, little is known about the role and responsibilities of ASWs in this domain. Collaboratively with our partners, the findings from this study will first contribute to understanding how ASWs facilitate exploitation and second how they can become part of the prevention mechanisms and reporters of crimes.

Methods
We present the design of our mixed methods study, underpinned by a peer Action Learning Set (ALS) approach. By working closely with ten survivors of sexual exploitation from 7 countries, the peer group have informed the study through participation in the advisory group, instrument design, implementation, analysis and dissemination. A training and support needs analysis prior to engagement in the research project ascertained what skills people would bring, what they would need for further personal and career development and if there were any additional requirements to enable participation. We provided capacity building through a bespoke training package over the project’s lifetime.

Discussion
Conducting a peer-researcher ALS project informs the research topic by both empowering survivors of sexual exploitation, whilst engaging with their expertise and lived experience to shape the methods and focus. The summative evaluation of our methods informs wider peer research methodologies, little utilised in the field of MSHT research. Thus, this research produces evidence which acknowledges survivors as experts with value towards social science research.

Authors: Prezioso Chiara , Trotta Roberta , Cavallo Erika , Fusina Federica , Malpetti Elena , Albani Filippo , Caserta Rosalba , Rosano Antonio , Natalini Giuseppe 
Published: May 2023

Background
The correct identification of the appropriateness of fluid administration is important for the treatment of critically ill patients. Static and dynamic indices used to identify fluid responsiveness have been developed throughout the years, nonetheless fluid responsiveness does not indicate that fluid administration is appropriate, and indexes to evaluate appropriateness of fluid administration are lacking. The aim of this study was to evaluate if central venous pressure (CVP) anddynamic indices could correctly identify fluid appropriateness for critically ill patients.

Methods
Data from 31 ICU patients, for a total of 53 observations, was included in the analysis. Patients were divided into two cohorts based on the appropriateness of fluid administration. Fluid appropriateness was defined in presence of a low cardiac index (< 2.5 l/min/m2) without any sign of fluid overload, as assessed by global end-diastolic volume index, extravascular lung water index or pulmonary artery occlusion pressure.

Results
For 10 patients, fluid administration was deemed appropriate, while for 21 patients it was deemed inappropriate. Central venous pressure was not different between the two cohorts (mean CVP 11 (4) mmHg in the fluid inappropriate group, 12 (4) mmHg in the fluid appropriate group, p 0.58). The same is true for pulse pressure variation (median PPV 5 [2, 9] % in the fluid inappropriate group, 4 [3, 13] % in the fluid appropriate group, p 0.57), for inferior vena cava distensibility (mean inferior vena cava distensibility 24 (14) % in the fluid inappropriate group, 22 (16) % in the fluid appropriate group, p 0.75) and for changes in end tidal carbon dioxide during a passive leg raising test (median d.ETCO2 1.5 [0.0, 2.0]% in the fluid inappropriate group, 1.0 [0.0, 2.0] % in the fluid appropriate group, p 0.98). There was no association between static and dynamic indices and fluid appropriateness.

Conclusions
Central venous pressure, pulse pressure variation, changes in end tidal carbon dioxide during a passive leg raising test, inferior vena cava distensibility were not associated with fluid appropriateness in our cohorts.
Características infrecuentes del síndrome de Miller-Fisher. Revisión de la literatura a propósito de un caso.
Authors: Púa Torrejón Ruth Camila , Bermejo Gómez Amanda , Gómez-Carpintero García Ana , Villares Alonso Rebeca 
Published: May 2023

Antecedentes: el síndrome de Miller Fisher es una polineuropatía autoinmune aguda, caracterizada por la triada clínica de arreflexia, ataxia y oftalmoplejía. Es una patología infrecuente en la edad pediátrica que se asocia, en la mayoría de los casos, a un antecedente de proceso infeccioso. En el análisis del líquido cefalorraquídeo destaca la disociación albúmino citológica y la presencia de anticuerpos IgG antigangliósido contra GQ1b en más del 80% de los casos. Reporte de caso: niña de 5 años con la triada clínica características, de curso agudo y antecedente de infección gastrointestinal (sin agente infeccioso conocido). En el líquido cefalorraquídeo se describen hallazgos poco frecuentes en este síndrome como son leucocitosis y positividad de anticuerpos IgG antigangliósido contra GT1a. Los demás anticuerpos antigangliósido fueron negativos. Las pruebas complementarias no son útiles para confirmar o descartar el diagnóstico, ya que este es principalmente clínico, sin embargo, sirven para descartar otras patologías incluidas en el diagnostico diferencial. Conclusión: es necesario un diagnóstico precoz para establecer las medidas de soporte adecuadas. A pesar de que las inmunoglobulinas y la plasmaféresis han sido comúnmente utilizadas para su tratamiento, son necesarios experimentos clínicos aleatorizados que demuestren su eficacia.
Erythema Ab Igne in a Patient with Chronic Pancreatitis
Authors: Bejjani Joseph , Ramsey Mitchell L. , Kaffenberger Benjamin , Hart Phil A. 
Published: May 2023

ABSTRACT
Erythema ab igne (EAI) is a cutaneous rash that develops secondary to prolonged exposure to heat. The appearance is characterized by reticulated erythema and hyperpigmentation with telangiectasia. In some instances, EAI may be a consequence of clinical conditions that cause chronic pain. In this case, we illustrate the onset of this finding in the setting of painful chronic pancreatitis. Although considered benign, EAI may increase the risk of nonmelanoma skin cancers. Treatment primarily consists of avoidance of localized heat exposure and surveillance for malignancy.
Successful Treatment of Achalasia With Endoscopic Ultrasound–Guided Botulinum Injection in Setting of Esophageal Varices
Authors: Chase R. Christopher , Gómez Victoria , Yang Liu , Pang Maoyin 
Published: May 2023

ABSTRACT
Achalasia in a patient with liver cirrhosis decompensated by esophageal varices is an extremely rare presentation with complex management implications. We describe a case of achalasia and malnutrition in a male patient with esophageal varices treated by endoscopic ultrasound–guided botulinum toxin injection. After treatment, the patient's dysphagia dramatically improved, and his weight loss stabilized, which allowed an important window to remove the barrier of nutritional status for transplant candidacy. Endoscopic ultrasound–guided botulinum toxin injection to avoid varices is potentially a safer method for delivering botulinum toxin injection to the lower esophageal sphincter in a patient with esophageal varices.
Wybrane aspekty demograficzne pandemii COVID-19 w polskich regionach a reaktywne działania polityki zdrowotnej
Authors: Janiszewska Anna , Klima Ewa 
Published: May 2023

Głównym celem artykułu jest określenie wybranych demograficznych skutków pandemii i działań podejmowanych w czasie rzeczywistym oraz polityk zdrowia, które przemodelowane były na skutek jej wybuchu. Podmiotem zainteresowania autorek jest Polska, a jednostkami odniesienia były województwa i powiaty. Zarysowano jednak szersze, europejskie tło podczas omawiania działań instytucji międzynarodowych. Materiał źródłowy pochodzi z baz danych Głównego Urzędu Statystycznego i Ministerstwa Zdrowia. Oprócz poznawczego wymiaru artykułu autorki chciały zwrócić uwagę na problemy metodologiczne. Wydaje się, że jeszcze jednym ze skutków pandemii jest obnażenie braku spójności metodologicznej na poziomie krajowym i europejskim, gdy chodzi o kwestie statystyki medycznej i szerzej jakości życia.
Analiza materiałów statystycznych jednoznacznie wykazała, że w przeważającej liczbie jednostek administracyjnych (województw/powiatów) odnotowano wzrost liczby zgonów (covidowych i noncovidowych), który wpłynął na powiększenie się ubytku naturalnego w Polsce. Pandemia zdecydowanie pogorszyła sytuację w poziomie zdrowotności, o czym świadczy wzrost zgonów, w tym szczególnie nadmiarowych, niezwiązanych z COVID-19. W konsekwencji tych wydarzeń zaobserwowano powiększenie się długu zdrowotnego, który jest efektem niedrożności publicznego systemu zdrowia, utrudniającym obywatelom dostęp do efektywnej opieki medycznej i leczenia.
