Authors: Dimitri Danilo , Delia Giuliana , Arduino Maurizio , Turco Nazarena , Fioretto Franco 
Published: March 2023

Research aimThe aim of this study is to focus on the main neurophysiological aspects of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and the current pharmacological treatment used for the management of hyperactivity and attention deficits in children aged 6-20 years with a diagnosis of ASD, not associated with other genetic or epileptic disorders, such as Fragile X Syndrome (FXS), Tuberous Sclerosis, Kleefstra Syndrome or Angelman Syndrome.MethodsThis mini review was conducted according to the P.I.C.O. model and according to the PRISMA guidelines. The keywords used were: autism spectrum disorder; attention deficit hyperactivity disorder; attention deficit disorder; methylphenidate; ritalin; ADHD; youth autism; childhood autism; childhood autism spectrum disorder; adolescent autism. The strings produced were compared and selected by a third independent clinician. The PubMed and PsycArticles search yielded a total of 3,200 articles. For their inclusion, the 3,200 articles were examined by two clinicians who ultimately selected 28 (15 clinical trials and 13 reviews/meta-analyses) articles analysed according to their consistency with the inclusion and exclusion criteria.ConclusionsThree main aspects emerged from the review: (1) According to the existing literature, new randomized controlled trials are needed to ensure a better understanding of the most effective drug treatments for dual-diagnosed ASD-ADHD patients and of the related behavioural effects. Currently, the use of drugs varies depending on psychiatric comorbidity, symptoms, age and gender and there is no univocal reference therapy; (2) Methylphenidate (MPH) has currently been shown to be the most suitable drug for the treatment of hyperactivity and inattention in individuals diagnosed with ASD and ADHD; (3) There is a need to create and evaluate appropriate tests to analyse more specific patterns of behaviour presented in the two conditions.

Published: March 2023

IntroductionManagement of urachal anomalies in pediatric patients has historically lacked a clear consensus between conservative and surgical management. We aimed to review and summarize the literature on the diagnosis, symptoms, and evolution in the management of urachal anomalies in pediatric patients.MethodsWe performed a scoping literature review of PubMed/Medline and WebOfScience from January 2000 to February 2022.Results32 publications were selected for inclusion in this analysis. 1,438 unique studies were identified with 32 studies meeting inclusion criteria. 15/32 studies discussed both conservative and surgical management, 14/32 studies discussed only surgical management outcomes, and 3/32 studies discussed diagnostic methods. The studies discussing conservative management supported the treatment of urachal anomalies with an initial conservative approach, which includes watchful waiting, repeated ultrasounds, lesion measurement, and antibiotic use. 5/32 of the included studies identified patients that were converted from conservative to surgical management with conversion rates ranging from 12.5% to 43.5% per study. 14/20 converted patients were identified to have a urachal cyst and 13/20 had a persistent infection.ConclusionsStrong evidence exists that supports initial conservative management over surgical management of pediatric urachal anomalies. However, predictive factors for determining which patients will require surgical management remain elusive. Treatment algorithms can potentially be developed once carefully developed prospective studies delineate statistically significant patient factors which necessitate surgical management over observation.

ObjectiveTo propose and validate a new classification of surgical methods for patients with subaxial cervical hemivertebrae.MethodThis article reviewed cases diagnosed with subaxial cervical hemivertebrae in our hospital from January 2008 to December 2019. The results of preoperative (initial visit), postoperative and/or final follow-up were assessed using the Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) score, Neck Disability Index (NDI) score, spinal balance parameters, and Scoliosis Research Society-22 Questionnaire (SRS-22). We also performed a reliability study to assess this classification.ResultThe classification includes three types. Each type can be divided into two subtypes, and a preliminary algorithm is proposed. Type I: There is an obvious appearance deformity in the neck, there are hemivertebrae in the cervical spine, and only a single hemivertebra of the subaxial cervical hemivertebra needs to be resected. Type II: There is an obvious appearance deformity in the neck, there are hemivertebrae in the cervical spine, and multiple subaxial cervical hemivertebrae need to be removed. Type III: No apparent deformity in the neck, at least one subaxial cervical hemivertebra existed or Klipper-Feil syndrome. Each type is divided into two subtypes, A and B, according to whether the upper and lower adjacent vertebral bodies of the rescected hemivertebra(e) are fused. We propose corresponding treatment methods for different types. We included a total of 121 patients and reviewed the prognosis for each type of patient. All patients achieved satisfactory results. The reliability study showed that the mean interobserver agreement was 91.8% (89.3%–93.4%), and the κ value was 0.845 (0.800–0.875). The intraobserver agreement ranged from 93.4% to 97.5%, with a mean κ value of 0.929 (0.881 to 0.954).ConclusionIn our study, we proposed and validated a new classification of subaxial cervical hemivertebrae and proposed corresponding treatment plans for different classifications.

Published: March 2023

Heterojunction structures of n-ZnO/p-Si were prepared through the growth of undoped ZnO and (Gd, Al) co-doped ZnO films onto p-type Si (1 0 0) substrates, using a co-sputtering method. The structural and optical properties of the Gd-doped ZnO films were studied as a function of different Al doping concentrations. The X-ray diffraction profiles indicated that the films had a nanocrystalline structure of ZnO with a (0 0 2) preferential orientation. An increase in the Al doping concentration deteriorated the (0 0 2) diffraction peak intensity. The transmittance measurements in the UV–Vis wavelength range indicated that the film’s optical gap increased with increase in Al doping concentration. The heterojunction parameters were evaluated using the current–voltage (I-V) characterization carried out of the fabricated n-ZnO/p-Si heterostructure, in dark conditions at room temperature. From these measurements, the n-ZnO-based DMS/p-Si heterojunction diode with the use of (Gd, Al) co-doped ZnO film showed the lowest leakage current of 1.28 × 10−8 A and an ideality factor η of 1.11, close to the ideal diode behavior of η = 1, compared to the n-Gd-doped ZnO/p-Si and n-undoped ZnO/p-Si heterojunction diodes.

L'action publique « par le bas » : l'approche LEADER en Europe centrale
Authors: Maurel Marie-Claude 
Published: March 2023

Bottom-up public action: The LEADER approach in central Europe
A new local development model - LEADER (Links between Actions for the Development of the Rural Economy) - based on a bottom-up approach has introduced a completely new process in the formerly Communist countries of central Europe. The underway "Europeanization" process is a catalyst for transmitting this model of endogenous development, which seeks to develop the specific advantages of local areas and tap the initiatives conveyed by decentralized actors. The concept of "territorial governance" is part of this new approach to public interventions in a multilevel system. At the juncture between EU policies, national programs and bottom-up initiatives from local actors (elected officials, project leaders, etc.), an empirical approach must detect and interpret the new territorial structures involved in the changing governance of these areas. How is the model being transferred? With what effects? Empirical data are used to analyze the context wherein actors receive this EU model of local development and to assess its initial effects in terms of learning capacity.

Authors: MALYUK V.V. , SHCHURKO D.M. , SHCHURKO M.I. , LATII K.V. 
Published: March 2023

According to the statistics of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine, a significant number of women in Ukraine terminate their pregnancies every year: 60% of them due to unwanted pregnancy and 40% - for medical reasons. The introduction of various modern methods of contraception, unfortunately, does not lead to a decrease in the frequency of abortions, and it remains quite high in our country today. The share of medical termination of pregnancy in different regions of Ukraine is 08-1.5% of the total number of abortions. It is the quality of medical care for short-term medical abortion that should be effective, affordable, patient-oriented, fair and safe, which contributes to increasing the availability of this method.
The purpose of the study is to investigate the effectiveness of the use of desaminooxytocin during medical termination of pregnancy in order to prevent early complications associated with the delay in the expulsion of elements of the fetal egg from the uterine cavity.
Research materials and methods. 170 women with a gestation period of 4+0 - 6+6 weeks were under supervision. For termination of pregnancy, each woman received 200 μg of mifepristone once (in the presence of a doctor), and later (after 21-24 hours) transbuccally 400 μg of misoprostol. A day after the procedure, a control ultrasound was performed. In order to complete and accelerate the evacuation of the contents of the uterine cavity, demoxytocinum in a dose of 50 IU (1 tablet) was administered transbuccally 4-6 times with an interval of every 2-3 hours.
The results. After using demoxytocinum in a dose of 2-3 tablets, 18 (10.6%) women had a complete evacuation of the elements of the fetal egg, in 2 (2.2%) – it was necessary to increase the dosage to 4-5 tablets, in 3 (1.8 %) - the dose was increased to 6 tablets. No significant difference was noted in repeated and primary pregnancies, no differences were noted depending on the age of the woman and the term of pregnancy.
Conclusions. The use of demoxytocinum during medical termination of pregnancy for the purpose of prevention of early complications associated with the delay in the expulsion of elements of the fetal egg from the uterine cavity is highly effective. Efficiency in the study was 97.8%.

Published: March 2023

The problem of hyperplastic processes of the endometrium (HPE) in women of reproductive age is a potential cause of reduced fertility and the risk of developing oncological pathology, which has been steadily increasing in recent years, attracting the increased attention of clinicians.
The aim: to analyze the role of an infectious agent in the development of hyperplastic processes of the uterine mucosa in women of early reproductive age for the formation of risk groups for the occurrence of endometrial hyperplasia and polyps.
Materials and Methods: 90 patients in early reproductive age were examined, who were divided into groups: the main group included patients with histologically verified atypical hyperplastic pathology of the endometrium (polyps of the uterine body and atypical hyperplasia of the endometrium) (n = 60). The control group consisted of 30 healthy volunteer patients of the same age category. The patients of the main group underwent a diagnostic hysteroscopy with endometrial biopsy, material was collected from women of the control group with prior consent using Peipel-biopsy with subsequent examination of the material. Bacteriological analysis of the material from the uterine cavity included the study of aerobic and anaerobic flora using a set of selective differential diagnostic nutrient media.
Results and Discussion: Data on the role of microbial and viral factors in the development of atypical endometrial hyperplasia in women of early reproductive age are given. The structure of microbial insemination of the uterine cavity in such women has been established. Cytomegalovirus antigens in hyperplastic endometrium were found in 38.3 % of cases. The obtained data make it necessary to carry out high-quality infectious screening for the formation of risk groups regarding the occurrence of hyperplastic changes of the uterine mucosa.
Conclusions: In patients of early reproductive age with atypical hyperplasia of the endometrium, the persistence of bacterial agents in the uterine cavity in insignificant concentration was noted in all examined, viral - in 38.3 %, which reflects the significant etiological role of bacterial and viral infection, which participates in the implementation of the inflammatory process and formation of hyperplastic pathology. Pathogenetic features of bacterial-viral infection of the genital tract of patients with hyperplastic endometrial pathology determine the need for high-quality infectious screening with the formation of risk groups and subsequent etiopathogenetic treatment.

O Brasil é um país de expressiva participação no mercado de proteínas de origem animal no mundo, um caminho que vem sendo traçado há muitos anos. Por isso, a presente pesquisa teve como objetivo avaliar o impacto da renda sobre o consumo de carnes, vísceras, pescados, aves, ovos, leite e derivados nas cinco grandes regiões do Brasil ao longo do tempo. Para tal, foram utilizados dados da Pesquisa de Orçamentos Familiares (POF), realizada pelo Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística (IBGE) nos períodos de 2002–2003, 2008–2009 e 2017–2018, utilizando o método Mínimos Quadrados Ponderados e, como fator de ponderação, a população em cada faixa de renda. Foi constatado que todas as regiões possuem dados em comum, como a maior elasticidade média para o grupo de leites e derivados. Há, porém, diferenças em relação ao maior dispêndio de certas proteínas, como ocorre para pescados na região Norte. Nas demais regiões, o maior foi para carne de boi de primeira.

Published: March 2023

<p>An essential building block of the smart grid of today is the integration of various renewable power generators in the system. Renewable distributed generators (DG) provide environmentally friendly energy at a low cost. A distributed economic dispatch (ED) system for renewable DGs has been formulated in this work to enhance scalability and reduce single points of failure as compared to the centralized ED system. A self-triggered consensus control mechanism is devised over a wireless channel to reduce the communication cost due to communication overhead in distributed systems. Communication losses due to wireless communication between local DGs have been addressed in this work, and a regression-based estimation has been proposed to account for lost or corrupted packets. The proposed approach is compared with the existing centralized ED system and also with periodic communication. The proposed self-triggered communication approach achieves the same level of performance as periodic communication while using half the resources. </p>
Multimodal Image Local Registration by Attention Gauge Fields with Robust Adaptive Probability Distributions
Authors: Qiu Junhui 
Published: March 2023

<p>Image registration is a technique of matching and superimposing of features, which can be better applied to high-level vision tasks. However, high-level vision tasks often pay more attention to analysis of target areas. In summary, we rethink the collaborative relationship between image registration and high-level vision tasks, and propose a local registration strategy for constructing a robust adaptive attention gauge fields, and construct robust adaptive attention gauge fields to register images focus more on important target areas. In order to improve the robustness and timeliness of the algorithm for feature matching of target areas in complex environments, we propose a robust adaptive probability distribution(RA), and construct robust adaptive mixed model expectation maximum attention(RAMM-EMA). In order to make robust adaptive parameters to reach the global optimum in deep learning, we designed a simulated annealing method to optimize the robust adaptive parameters during training. In order to focus on important regions in the image as much as possible, propose a feature fusion map with weak boundaries and probabilistic properties, called Robust Adaptive Attention Gauge Fields(RAA-Gauge Fields). High-level vision tasks experiments on image fusion, object delect and 3D-reconstruction, the method presented in this paper is the most helpful, and registration effect of the target areas perform best under more extreme conditions. </p>
User Selection for Simple Passive Beamforming in Multi-RIS-Aided Multi-User Communications
Authors: Jiang Wei 
Published: March 2023

<p>This paper focuses on multi-user downlink signal transmission in a wireless system aided by multiple reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RISs). In such a multi-RIS, multi-user, multi-antenna scenario, determining a set of RIS phase shifts to maximize the sum throughput becomes intractable. Hence, we propose a novel scheme that can substantially simplify the optimization of passive beamforming. By opportunistically selecting a user with the best channel condition as the only active transmitter in the system, it degrades to single-user passive beamforming, where two methods, i.e., joint optimization based on the semidefinite relaxation approach and alternating optimization, are applicable. The superiority of the proposed scheme is demonstrated through Monte-Carlo simulations. </p>
