From “world factory” to technological superpower: is China ready for global leadership in innovation?
Authors: Lemutov Vasily A. 
Published: March 2023

In recent years, China has been often touted as a &quot;technological superpower&quot; rather than the &quot;world factory&quot;. The new concept implies the country&apos;s leadership in the field of new technologies and their significant role in its economy. At first glance, China&apos;s achievements in science and technology and growing exports of high-tech goods confirm this status.
China&apos;s innovation potential has grown significantly in recent years — the country gets regularly ranked top 20-30 in both Chinese and international innovation rankings. Moreover, the analysis of indicators related to China&apos;s independence in innovations shows an even more confident leadership of the country — up to the top 5 countries of the world.
At the same time, a quantitative assessment of factor contributions to economic growth shows that the contribution of new technology to GDP growth from 2000 to 2019 was 8-10%, while for the most part, growth was driven by traditional industries. Nevertheless, China&apos;s growth can no longer be called extensive in recent years, and the state&apos;s efforts to switch to high-tech drivers through large-scale programs, such as the construction of &quot;new infrastructure,&quot; only bring China closer to the status of a &quot;technological superpower&quot;. Although China cannot yet be called technologically independent, trends in recent years suggest that China may well reach the status of a world technological leader even before its GDP, measured in current exchange rates, exceeds that of the United States.

Adaptive Merging on Phase Change Memory
Authors: Macyna Wojciech , Kukowski Michal 
Published: March 2023

Indexing is a well-known database technique used to facilitate data access and speed up query processing. Nevertheless, the construction and modification of indexes are very expensive. In traditional approaches, all records in the database table are equally covered by the index. It is not effective, since some records may be queried very often and some never. To avoid this problem, adaptive merging has been introduced. The key idea is to create an index adaptively and incrementally as a side-product of query processing. As a result, the database table is indexed partially depending on the query workload. This paper faces the problem of adaptive merging for phase change memory (PCM). The most important features of this memory type are limited write endurance and high write latency. As a consequence, adaptive merging should be investigated from the scratch. We solve this problem in two steps. First, we apply several PCM optimization techniques to the traditional adaptive merging approach. We prove that the proposed method (eAM) outperforms a traditional approach by 60%. After that, we invent the framework for adaptive merging (PAM) and propose a new variant of the PCM-optimized index. It further improves the system performance by 20% for databases where search queries interleave with data modifications.

Authors: Viktoriia Datsenko  
Published: March 2023

The article analyses the role and significance of the Zhytomyr period of V. Kosenko’s activity for the whole composer’s creative path. The research objective is to outline the general features of the significance of the Zhytomyr period of V. Kosenko’s creative work for the whole master’s creative path. The master’s performing and creative activity during the 1920’s is considered. The author studied the Cello and Piano Sonata, created in 1923. Peculiarities of V. Kosenko’s author’s concerts are revealed. The significance of the composer’s work for Ukrainian piano music is studied. It was found that V. Kosenko’s piano works are rich in many different pianistic techniques. The research methodology involves the application of the historico-logical method. This methodological approach allows revealing and analysing the origin and formation of Ukrainian Soviet musical culture of the 1920’s. The scientific novelty of the work is to establish that Kosenko’s romances are perfect in form and texture, easy to understand, are melodious, marked by emotionally excited character. V. Kosenko’s concert and propaganda activity deserves special attention, as its focus was conditioned by the tasks set before the intelligentsia of that time related to radical transformations in the field of education and culture (to help different segments of the population to acquire knowledge, understand the values of literature and art). Conclusions. The article notes that it was during the Zhytomyr period of creativity (during 1918-1929) that the talent of V. Kosenko as a performer-pianist and composer-lyricist was formed. It is proved that in a difficult period V. Kosenko created highly artistic pieces of chamber vocal and instrumental music, a number of songs, choirs and solo songs, as well as several symphonic works, which testified to the composer’s high professionalism, the democratic focus of his music, and received wide public recognition. It was found out that in the years of origin and formation of Ukrainian music of the Soviet period V. Kosenko did not set himself cardinal tasks of the formation of the national musical language, the search for new means of expression. Instead, he was very active in defending the classical style, actively implementing its forms and methods. The composer constantly sought to raise national art to high professionalism, to the top of world classics.

The aim of the article is to reveal the methodological aspects of the European Romanticism's investigation in the musical art and culture studies works. The methodology of the research presupposes such methods: historical – in the analysis of the processes of formation and evolution of Romanticism in the European art of the 19th – the beginning of the 20th century; historical-cultural – in the consideration of the conceptual foundations of the universal cultural and socio-historical context of the Romantic epoch; descriptive – in the analysis of the terminology and its interpretation of the Romanticism notion; historical-comparative – in the comparison of different manifestations of Romanticism in the 19th – the beginning of the 20th century; method of modeling – in the construction of a stylistic model of Romanticism of the particular period; typological – in the definition of the most peculiar features of the Romantic style. The scientific novelty of the research is a systematization of the scientific experience of the examination of Romanticism and the definition of the modern tendencies of the research of these ranges of problems. Conclusions. The reasons for the difference in the definitions and interpretations of Romanticism by the musicologists and theorists of literature are defined. The common positions of the researchers of Romanticism are considered: the understanding of Romanticism as a multilevel category; consideration of national versions of Romanticism in different European cultures; recognition of Romanticism as a dynamic system of multidirectional tendencies.
HRYHORII SKOVORODA AS А METATEXT OF POETS-«KHATIANY»
Authors: Pavlenko Yuliia 
Published: March 2023

The article presents a study of the motif of freedom in poetry, which was published in the magazine «Ukrainian Khata» in the intertextual field with Skovoroda’s poetry. The motif of freedom sounded loudest in Ukrainian poetry on the pages of turning points in history. Now Ukraine is experiencing the exact time. hundred years ago, at the beginning of the 20th century. Ukraine had a chance to defend its national freedom.This was reflected in the works of Ukrainian poets, which were published in the magazine «Ukrainian Khata» (1909-1914). The motif of freedom did not sound in every poem of every poet that was published on the pages of «Ukrainian Khata». The article highlights the names of those who emphasized the motif of freedom in their poems. The life and work of Skovoroda is a metatext of Ukrainian poetry of the beginning of the 20th century:Maksym Rylskyi, Pavlo Tychyna, Oleksandr Neprytskyi-Hranovskyi, M. Dontsiv, O. Nedolia, Yakiv Mamontov, Sydir Tverdokhlib, Mykola Voronnyi, Oleksandr Oles, Khrystyna Alchevska, Hryhorii Chuprynka, Mykola Filianskyi. In their poetry on the pages of the «Ukrainian Khata» magazine, motifs and metaphors explain the lyrical heroes’ desire to be free, to reject patterns, to discover inner boundless freedom in unity with nature. This brings the poets of the magazine «Ukrainian Khata» closer to Skovoroda. So The Garden of Divine Songs of Hryhory Skovoroda is a pretext for their poetry. With the help of thematic criticism, the leading themes of the poems of the authors of the beginning of the 20th century were determined: addressing the theme of free Ukraine in the historical past (M. Dontsiv, O. Nedolia, Alchevska), depicting the state of the Ukrainian spirit of freedom in the present (Mykola Voronnyi, Oleksandr Neprytskyi-Hranovskyi, Hryhorii Chuprynka, Sydir Tverdokhlib, Yakiv Mamontov), deep feelings for the fate of the people (Mykola Filianskyi), a desperate desire to achieve national freedom (Maksym Rylskyi). These themes in the poetic texts of «Ukrainian Khata» allow us to consider the named poets as heirs of Hryhoriy Savovych.

ObjectivesThe aim of this study is to compare the prognostic value of coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) with single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) in predicting cardiovascular events in patients with stents.DesignRetrospective analysis.SettingUniversity Hospital, London, Ontario Canada.ParticipantsBetween January 2007 and December 2018, 119 patients post-percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) who were referred for hybrid imaging with CTA and 2-day rest/stress SPECT were enrolled.Primary and secondary outcome measuresPatients were followed for any major adverse cardiovascular event (MACE) including: All-cause mortality, Non-fatal myocardial infarction (MI), Unplanned revascularization, Cerebrovascular accident and hospitalization for arrhythmia or heart failure. We define hard cardiac events (HCE) as: cardiac death, non-fatal MI or unplanned revascularization. We used two cut-off values to define obstructive lesions with CCTA ≥50% and ≥70% in any coronary segment. SPECT scan defined as abnormal in the presence of &gt;5% reversible myocardial perfusion defect.ResultsDuring the follow-up period of 7.2 ± 3.4 years. 45/119 (37.8%) patients experienced 57 MACE: Ten deaths (2 cardiac deaths and 8 of non-cardiac deaths), 29 acute coronary syndrome including non-fatal MI (25 required revascularization), 7 hospitalizations for heart failure, 6 cerebrovascular accidents and 5 new atrial fibrillation. 31 HCEs were reported. Cox regression analysis showed that obstructive coronary stenosis (≥50% and ≥70%) and abnormal SPECT were associated of MACE (p = 0.037, 0.018 and 0.026), respectively. In contrast, HCEs were significantly associated with obstructive coronary stenosis of ≥50% and ≥70% with p = 0.004 and p = 0.007, respectively. In contrast, abnormal SPECT was a nonsignificant predictor of HCEs (p = 0.062).ConclusionObstructive coronary artery stenosis on CCTA can predict MACE and HCE. However, abnormal SPECT can only predict MACE but not HCE in patients post-PCI with a follow-up period of approximately 7 years.

BackgroundThe utilization of donation after circulatory death (DCD) hearts can enlarge the donor pool. However, DCD hearts suffer from serious ischemia/reperfusion injury (IRI). Recent studies found that the activation of NLRP3 inflammasome could play a significant role in organ IRI. Mcc950, which is a novel inhibitor of the NLRP3 inflammasome, can be applied to treat various kinds of cardiovascular diseases. Therefore, we hypothesized that the treatment of mcc950 could protect DCD hearts preserved with normothermic ex vivo heart perfusion (EVHP) against myocardial IRI via inhibiting NLRP3 inflammasome in a rat heart transplantation model of DCD.MethodsDonor-heart rats were randomly divided into four groups: Control group; Vehicle group; MP-mcc950 group; and MP + PO-mcc950 group. Mcc950 was added into the perfusate of normothermic EVHP in the MP-mcc950 and MP + PO-mcc950 groups, and was injected into the left external jugular vein after heart transplantation in the MP + PO-mcc950 group. Cardiac functional assessment was performed. The level of oxidative stress, inflammatory response, apoptosis, and NLRP3 inflammasome-associated protein of donor hearts were evaluated.ResultsThe treatment with mcc950 significantly increased the developed pressure (DP), dP/dtmax, and dP/dtmin of the left ventricular of DCD hearts at 90 min after heart transplantation in both MP-mcc950 and MP + PO-mcc950 groups. Furthermore, mcc950 added into perfusate and injected after transplantation in both MP-mcc950 and MP + PO-mcc950 groups significantly attenuated the level of oxidative stress, inflammatory response, apoptosis, and NLRP3 inflammasome compared with the vehicle group.ConclusionsNormothermic EVHP combined with mcc950 treatment can be a promising and novel DCD heart preservation strategy, which can alleviate myocardial IRI via inhibiting NLRP3 inflammasome.
Effects of environment and metacommunity delineation on multiple dimensions of stream fish beta diversity

Published: March 2023

IntroductionBeta diversity represents changes in community composition among locations across a landscape. While the effects of human activities on beta diversity are becoming clearer, few studies have considered human effects on the three dimensions of beta diversity: taxonomic, functional, and phylogenetic. Including anthropogenic factors and multiple dimensions of biodiversity may explain additional variation in stream fish beta diversity, providing new insight into how metacommunities are structured within different spatial delineations.MethodsIn this study, we used a 350 site stream fish abundance dataset from South Carolina, United States to quantify beta diversity explainable by spatial, natural environmental, and anthropogenic variables. We investigated three spatial delineations: (1) a single whole-state metacommunity delineated by political boundaries, (2) two metacommunities delineated by a natural geomorphic break separating uplands from lowlands, and (3) four metacommunities delineated by natural watershed boundaries. Within each metacommunity we calculated taxonomic, functional, and phylogenetic beta diversity and used variation partitioning to quantify spatial, natural environmental, and anthropogenic contributions to variations in beta diversity.ResultsWe explained 25–81% of the variation in stream fish beta diversity. The importance of these three factors in structuring metacommunities differed among the diversity dimensions, providing complementary perspectives on the processes shaping beta diversity in fish communities. The effect of spatial, natural environmental, and anthropogenic factors varied among the spatial delineations, which indicate conclusions drawn from variation partitioning may depend on the spatial delineation chosen by researchers.DiscussionOur study highlights the importance of considering human effects on metacommunity structure, quantifying multiple dimensions of beta diversity, and careful consideration of user-defined metacommunity boundaries in beta diversity analyses.

Published: March 2023

Objectives: Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder with genetic and clinical heterogeneity. Owing to the advancement of sequencing technologies, an increasing number of ASD-related genes have been reported. We designed a targeted sequencing panel (TSP) for ASD based on next-generation sequencing (NGS) to provide clinical strategies for genetic testing of ASD and its subgroups.Methods: TSP comprised 568 ASD-related genes and analyzed both single nucleotide variations (SNVs) and copy number variations (CNVs). The Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule (ADOS) and the Griffiths Mental Development Scales (GMDS) were performed with the consent of ASD parents. Additional medical information of the selected cases was recorded.Results: A total of 160 ASD children were enrolled in the cohort (male to female ratio 3.6:1). The total detection yield was 51.3% for TSP (82/160), among which SNVs and CNVs accounted for 45.6% (73/160) and 8.1% (13/160), respectively, with 4 children having both SNVs and CNV variants (2.5%). The detection rate of disease-associated variants in females (71.4%) was significantly higher than that in males (45.6%, p = 0.007). Pathogenic and likely pathogenic variants were detected in 16.9% (27/160) of the cases. SHANK3, KMT2A, and DLGAP2 were the most frequent variants among these patients. Eleven children had de novo SNVs, 2 of whom had de novo ASXL3 variants with mild global developmental delay (DD) and minor dysmorphic facial features besides autistic symptoms. Seventy-one children completed both ADOS and GMDS, of whom 51 had DD/intellectual disability (ID). In this subgroup of ASD children with DD/ID, we found that children with genetic abnormalities had lower language competence than those without positive genetic findings (p = 0.028). There was no correlation between the severity of ASD and positive genetic findings.Conclusion: Our study revealed the potential of TSP, with lower cost and more efficient genetic diagnosis. We recommended that ASD children with DD or ID, especially those with lower language competence, undergo genetic testing. More precise clinical phenotypes may help in the decision-making of patients with genetic testing.
