Bilateral staged anatomic lung resection for bronchiectasis and infected polycystic disease complicated by bleeding: viability with 3 hypertrophied segments maintained
Authors: Benyan A. S. , Medvedchikov-Ardiia M. A. , Abashkin N. Yu. 
Published: December 2022

Bilateral lung resections are performed for various pathologies: pulmonary emphysema, parasitic diseases, metastatic lesions, and bronchiectasis. In clinical practice, sequential or staged interventions are more common. Surgical treatment of bronchiectasis is currently carried out only in cases with complications of localized forms and, as a rule, consists of resection of the affected part of the lung. The percentage of such patients is not large and amounts to about 5%. Taking into account the chronic course of bronchiectasis and certain successes of the conservative treatment, indications for resection operations may arise at different periods of the patient’s life. Sometimes, up to several decades can pass between the surgeries. Aim. To demonstrate a rare clinical case of staged lung resection for bronchiectasis in a patient who had 4 lung lobes removed with an interval of 52 years. Results. History of the disease was described. Indications for staged surgical interventions were identified. The main characteristics of the health status after the surgeries were described. Conclusion. The presented case illustrates the place and role of surgical methods in the treatment of bronchiectasis, as well as the compensatory capabilities of the lung tissue in the case of staged resection interventions.

Relevance. Anthocyanin pigments can be synthesised in the stem, leaves, calyx, peel and pulp of tomato fruit. These compounds protect the photosynthetic apparatus of the plant, neutralise free radicals, increase the efficiency of phosphorus and nitrogen assimilation, have an osmoregulatory function, antimicrobial activity and increase the level of adaptation to unfavourable environmental conditions. In addition, anthocyanins from plant foods play an important role in the prevention of type II diabetes, neurodegenerative processes, cardiovascular and infectious diseases. Therefore, the cultivation of tomatoes with anthocyanin-coloured fruits is a perspective area for the vegetable industry in Russia. Vegetable products containing antioxidant substances belong to the functional products and conform to the concept of a healthy diet. As one of the most popular and frequently consumed vegetable crops, the anthocyanin content of tomato is advisable to increase in the fruit (peel and pulp).Material and methods. In this work we studied breeding samples of FSBSI FSVC: L-Ch-365, L-IR-2080, L-Zemba, hybrid combination F1 Zemba x L-Ch-365, variety of Siberian Botanical Garden Bosare blue. The aim of our research was to determine the quantitative composition of phenolic compounds - anthocyanins in different tomato samples, and on this basis to determine the objectives of breeding to improve the content of phenolic compounds.Results. As a result of the research, the quantitative content of anthocyanins in fruits of dif- ferent tomato specimens has been studied, on which the dietary and medicinal quality of the fruits depends. The sources of high content of anthocyanins (L-Zemba, L-IR-2080) have been obtained, which will make possible to conduct directed breeding work for high content of phenolic compounds. It has been shown that anthocyanin-rich tomato samples can be rich in carotenoids, which gives an opportunity to create new varieties and hybrids with high content of water- and fat-soluble antioxidants. Potential samples for breeding according to the complex of biochemical indicators have been identified: L-Zemba, L-IR-2080, Bosare blue. It has been shown that selection for high content of anthocyanins can be performed at various stages of fruit ripening (large ripe fruit, blangetongue, biological ripeness), selecting the most intense colouring. The Zemba tomato variety developed at FSBSI FSVC has a sufficiently high anthocyanin content and is recommended for cultivation in production.
Regenerative ability and micropropagation of <I>Petunia hybrid</I> in vitro
Authors: Borovaya S. A. , Boginskaya N. G. 
Published: December 2022

Scientific relevance. The garden petunia,Petunia hybrida, is a popular and wide spread ornamental crop from the family Solanaceae. It is a promising model plant for molecular and genetic research.In vitromicropropagation plays an important role in the distribution of the garden petunia because the survivability and quality of seed material decreases significantly in every subsequent generation. Besides, micropropagation reduces the cost of production substantially. Considering that very few researchers addressed this question in the Russian Federation, this direction of research is still worthy of attention.Materials and methods. The experiments were conducted by the Laboratory of Breeding and Genetic Research on Field Crops at FSBSI “Federal Scientific Center of Agricultural Biotechnology of the Far East named after A.K. Chaiki”. Seeds ofPetunia hybrida(double-flowered) were used as primary explants. Liquid bleacher ACE diluted with distilled water in the proportion 1:9 was used as a sterilizing agent (the working solution contained 0.50% NaOCl). The total time of exposure was 15 minutes. The primary explants were subcultured onto a hormone-free Murashige and Skoog basal medium containing 20 g/L sucrose and 6 g/L agar. Isolatedin vitroobjects were cultured in test tubes with cotton-gauze plugs at an illuminance of 4000 lx, a temperature of 22–25 °C, and a 16h photoperiod in a culture room. The duration of one passage was 60 days. Micropropagation was carried out using 7- 10 mm cuttings with one or two nodes. The pot culture of the regenerants was established under controlled conditions in a light room (photoperiod was 16 hours, temperature was 23°С).Results. The optimal method for introducingPetunia hybridainto cell culture is the use of seeds treated with the solution of bleacher ACE that was diluted with distilled water in the proportion 1:9. The optimal time of exposure is 15 minutes.Petunia hybridademonstrated a high regeneration rate on the hormone-free MS medium – it had a fast growth and development rate, and good rhizogenesis; the reproductive rate was 8.77. For the micropropagation of the garden petunia, it is advisable to use cuttings of test tube plants, which should be placed onto a hormone-free MS medium. The test tube plants ofPetunia hybrida acclimatized successfully on a soil substrate. This shows the high plasticity of the culture.

Published: December 2022

Relevance. The article analyzes the indicators of white cabbage production in Russia (by districts, subjects of the federation and categories of farms).Methodology. The object of research is the market for the production of white cabbage. The subject of the study is the current state of white cabbage production. The information base of the study was made up of data from FAO, official state statistics, the Federal Customs Service, the Ministry of Agriculture of the Russian Federation, the Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation, Parliamentary hearings of the State Duma Committee on Agrarian Issues, the Eurasian Economic Union, the Eurasian Economic Commission, operational online messages of federal and regional levels, materials of periodicals, scientific seminars, conferences, symposiums, reflecting various aspects of the problem under study.Results. In the industrial sector of vegetable growing, the acreage of cabbage of all types in 2021, in relation to 2020, decreased by 15.8%. Over the past ten years, there has been a decrease in acreage and gross cabbage harvest in farms of all categories. There are a number of systemic problems in Russian vegetable growing that limit the increase in vegetable production and negatively affect its effectiveness: weak technical and material equipment of a significant part of farms engaged in vegetable production, outdated technical base, insufficient provision of crops with seeds of domestic production. One of the leading roles in the implementation of the policy of food security and national independence is played by the selection and seed production of white cabbage. Sanctions make it possible to carry out import substitution of varieties and hybrids of white cabbage. To date, the main task is to abandon the import of seeds of foreign selection, and therefore it is important to focus on creating new hybrids that will be of high quality, good yield, as well as resistance to diseases and pests. Modern hybrids of breeding FGBNU FNTSO and Agrofirm "Poisk" according to the results of testing in leading agricultural organizations fully meet the requirements of the market and can take a worthy place in the fields in the Russian Federation.

Published: December 2022

Abstract

Background
Breastfeeding has many health, economic and environmental benefits for both the infant and pregnant individual. Due to these benefits, the World Health Organization and Health Canada recommend exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months of life. The purpose of this study is to examine the prevalence of exclusive and any breastfeeding in Canada for at least six months, and factors associated with breastfeeding cessation prior to six months.
Methods
We performed a secondary analysis of breastfeeding-related questions asked on the cross-sectional 2017–2018 Canadian Community Health Survey. Our sample comprised 4,845 females aged 15–55 who had given birth in the five years preceding the survey. Descriptive statistics were carried out to assess the proportion of females exclusively breastfeeding and doing any breastfeeding for at least six months by demographic and behavioural factors. We also assessed, by baby’s age, trends in the introduction of solids and liquids, breastfeeding cessation and the reasons females stopped breastfeeding. Multivariate log binominal regression was used to examine the association between breastfeeding at six months and selected maternal characteristics hypothesized a priori to be associated with breastfeeding behaviour.
Results
Overall, for at least six months, 35.6% (95% confidence interval (CI): 33.3%-37.8%) of females breastfed exclusively and 62.2% (95% CI: 60.0%-64.4%) did any breastfeeding. The largest decline in exclusive breastfeeding occurred in the first month. Factors most strongly associated with breastfeeding for at least six months were having a bachelor’s or higher degree, having a normal body mass index, being married and daily co-sleeping. Insufficient milk supply was given as the most common reason for breastfeeding cessation irrespective of when females stopped breastfeeding.
Conclusion
Six-month exclusive breastfeeding rates in Canada remain below targets set by the World Health Assembly. Continued efforts, including investment in monitoring of breastfeeding rates, are needed to promote and support exclusive breastfeeding, especially among females vulnerable to early cessation.
Hybrid deep learning model for the risk prediction of cognitive impairment in stroke patients
Authors: Wei Zemin , Li Mengqi , Fan Hong 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
Post-stroke cognitive impairment is a common complication of stroke. It reduces the rehabilitation efficacy and disease prognosis of patients. Many factors may be related to cognitive impairment after stroke, including demographic (e.g. age, gender and educational level), history (e.g. hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidaemia, smoking and drinking) and examination characteristics (e.g. lesion nature, location, side and inflammatory markers). However, most existing methods are qualitative evaluations of independent factors, which ignore the interaction amongst various factors. In addition, no further research on the risk prediction of cognitive impairment after stroke has been conducted. We use a hybrid deep learning model of XGBoost and deep neural network to predict the risk of cognitive impairment in stroke patients for studying the effects of physiological and psychological factors on such a risk. We firstly consider 46 original input features and their cross-product transformation as the interaction amongst binary features, and then, we compare the proposed model with several benchmarks on the basis of various indicators to prove its effectiveness. Lastly, we identify the first 36 factors that affect the risk of fracture in diabetic patients.
Image Generation with Global Photographic Aesthetic Based on Disentangled Generative Adversarial Network

Published: December 2022

Abstract
Global photographic aesthetic image generation aims to ensure that images generated by generative adversarial networks (GANs) contain semantic information and have global aesthetic feelings. Existing image aesthetic generation algorithms are still in the exploratory stage, and images screened or generated by computer have not yet achieved relatively ideal aesthetic quality. In this study, we use existing generative model, StyleGAN, to build the height of image content and put forward a new method based on the GAN disentangled representation of global aesthetic image generation algorithm by mining GANs latent space potential global aesthetic feeling and aesthetic editing of the original image to realize the aesthetic feeling and content of high-quality global aesthetic image generation. In contrast with the traditional aesthetic image generation methods, our method does not need to retrain GANs. Using the existing StyleGAN generation model, by learning a prediction model to score the generated image and the score as a label to learn a support vector machine decision surface, we use the learned decision to edit the original image to get an image with a global aesthetic feeling. This method solves the problems of poor content construction effect and poor global beauty of the aesthetic images generated by the existing methods. Experimental results show that the proposed method greatly increases theprobability of generating ”good-looking” images and aesthetic score of generated images.

Methods. Psychosocial stress at the beginning of rehabilitation of patient cohorts before or during the pandemic was compared using multivariate variance analyses (MANOVA) and univariate non-parametric Mann-Whitney-U-tests. The study refers to the data of patients from seven psychosomatic rehabilitation clinics of Celenus-Kliniken GmbH.
Results. Based on the sampling of 7335 patients, statistically significant greater stress with a low effect size (η²p = .005) of the cohort affected by the pandemic was observed.
Conclusions. People who started rehabilitation during the pandemic only demonstrated slightly greater psychosocial stress at the beginning of therapy.
Ovipositional/Numerical response of aphidophagous syrphids (Diptera:Syrphidae) at varying prey densities of Lipaphis erysimi and Brevicoryne brassicae (Homoptera:Aphididae)
Authors: Singh Paramveer , Kaur Rabinder , Sharma Sudhendhu , Aggarwal Naveen 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
Background:
Syrphids are well known generalized predators of aphids having remarkable predation potential and proved as effective aphid controlling natural enemies at larval stage. The adult predatory syrphid flies are strong fliers and have ability to travel a long distance to find suitable oviposition site. They select the ovipositioning site as per the prey density and prey species found on the host plant. The oviposition response is remarkably affected with the prey density.
Results:
The present study was focused on the affect of varying prey density on the oviposition behaviour of four predatory syrphid species viz. Ischiodon scutellaris (Fabracius), Episyrphus balteatus(Dee Geer), Eupeodes frequens(Matsmura) and Metasyrphus confrater(Wiedemann) on two prey (aphid) species i.e. Lipaphis erysimi L. and Brevicoryne brassicae L. under laboratory conditions. The results depicting that all the four above mentioned syrphid species showed type II numerical response on both the aphid species with significantly (p<0.0001) negative linear coefficient depicting the decreasing proportion of the number of laid eggs with respect to the increasing prey density. The number of eggs laid by single female of syrphids were increased with respect to increasing prey density until it reached to the upper asymptote and then decreased in the condition of overcrowding of prey.From this study it can be concluded that the site selection for the oviposition by the predatory syrphid flies greatly influenced by the population density of prey (aphids). in the absence of aphids they do not prefer to lay eggs whereas as higher aphid density encourage it to lay eggs until it reached to upper asymptote these results may help in decision making for augmentative release of syrphid flies for establishment of optimum population.
The impact of Homeworking during COVID-19 on Mental Health and Productivity: A Systematic Review
Authors: Hall Charlotte E. , Davidson Louise , Brooks Samantha K. , Greenberg Neil , Weston Dale 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
Background
As of March 2020, the UK public were instructed to work from home and as a result, nearly half of those in employment did so during the following month. Pre-pandemic, around 5% of workers chose to work from home; it was often seen as advantageous, for example due to eliminating commuting time and increasing flexibility. However, homeworking also had negative connotations, for example, blurred boundaries between work and home life due to a sense of constant connectivity to the workplace. Therefore, understanding the psychological impact of working from home in an enforced and prolonged manner due to the COVID-19 pandemic is important. Therefore, this review sought to establish the impact of working from home in terms of mental health and productivity.
Methods
In January 2022, literature searches were conducted across four electronic databases: Medline, Embase, PsycInfo and Web of Science. In February 2022 grey literature searches were conducted using Google Advanced Search, NHS Evidence; Gov.uk Publications; and the British Library directory of online doctoral theses. Published and unpublished literature which collected data after March 2020, included participants who experienced working from home for at least some of their working hours, and detailed the impact of homeworking in relation to mental health or productivity were included.
Results
In total 6,906 citations were screened and 25 papers from electronic databases were included. Grey literature searching resulted in two additional papers. Therefore, 27 studies were included in this review. Findings suggest the impact of homeworking on mental health and productivity varies considerably, suggesting a complex relationship, with many factors having an influence on the relationship.
Conclusion
We found that there was no clear consensus as to the impact of working from home on mental health or productivity. However, there are indications that those who start homeworking for the first time during a pandemic are at risk of poor productivity, as are those who experience poor mental health. Suggestions for future research are suggested.
Efficient and Precise Calculation of the Confluent Hypergeometric Function
Authors: Herschtal Alan 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
Kummer’s function, also known as the confluent hypergeometric function (CHF), is an important mathematical function, in particular due to its many special cases, which include the Bessel function, the incomplete Gamma function and the error function (erf). The CHF has no closed form expression, but instead is most commonly expressed as an infinite sum of ratios of rising factorials, which makes its precise and efficient calculation challenging. It is a function of three parameters, the first two being the rising factorial base of the numerator and denominator, and the third being a scale parameter. Accurate and efficient calculation for large values of the scale parameter is particularly challenging due to numeric underflow and overflow which easily occur when summing the underlying component terms. This work presents an elegant and precise mathematical algorithm for the calculation of the CHF, which is of particular advantage for large values of the scale parameter. This method massively reduces the number and range of component terms which need to be summed to achieve any required precision, thus obviating the need for the computationally intensive transformations needed by current algorithms.
