Abstract
Objectives: Predicting brain invasion preoperatively should help to guide surgical decision-making and aid the prediction of meningioma grading and prognosis. However, only a few imaging features have been identified to aid prediction. This study aimed to develop and validate an MRI-based nomogram to predict brain invasion by meningioma.Methods: In this retrospective study, 658 patients were examined via routine MRI before undergoing surgery and were diagnosed with meningioma by histopathology. Least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regularization was used to determine the optimal combination of clinical characteristics and MRI features for predicting brain invasion by meningiomas. Logistic regression and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analyses were used to determine the discriminatory ability. Furthermore, a nomogram was constructed using the optimal MRI features, and decision curve analysis was used to validate the clinical usefulness of the nomogram. Results: Eighty-one patients with brain invasion and 577 patients without invasion were enrolled. According to LASSO regularization, tumor shape, tumor boundary, peritumoral edema, and maximum diameter were independent predictors of brain invasion. The model showed good discriminatory ability for predicting brain invasion in meningiomas, with an AUC of 0.905 (95% CI, 0.871-0.940) vs 0.898 (95% CI, 0.849-0.947) and sensitivity of 93.0% vs 92.6% in the training vs validation cohorts. Conclusions: Our predictive model based on MRI features showed good performance and high sensitivity for predicting the risk of brain invasion in meningiomas and can be applied in the clinical setting.

Abstract
Background: The pregnancy outcome of infertile patients with endometrial cavity fluid undergoing fresh embryo transfer is controversial. We aimed to build a logistic regression model including age, ovarian function and ovarian stimulation protocols to predict the live birth rate of fresh embryo transfer in patients with endometrial cavity fluid.Methods: Patients underwent in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injectio were selected from January 2014 to September 2020 in the Reproductive Hospital affiliated to Shandong University, and the presence of endometrial cavity fluid was indicated by ultrasound before fresh embryo transfer. A total of 2383 patients with endometrial cavity fluid suggested by ultrasound before fresh embryo transfer were enrolled in this study. Clinical and laboratory parameters that may influence live birth rate were analysed. Univariate, multivariate analysis and Receiver operating characteristic curve were conducted to evaluate the relationship between the predictors and live birth rate.Results: The overall live birth rate was 1224/283 (51.38%), multivariate logistic analysis indicated that only transfer 2 embryos increased the probability of live birth (aOR: 2.274; 95%CI: 1.539- 3.361; P<0.01), other factors will reduce the chance of live birth, age≥35 (aOR: 0.509; 95%CI: 0.410-0.632; P<0.01), history of endometritis (aOR: 0.236; 95%CI: 0.076-0.729; P=0.012), Gonadotropin start-up dose>150IU (aOR: 0.785; 95% CI: 0.635-0.970; P=0.025), endometrial thickness on trigger day<8mm (aOR：0.286；95%CI：0.166-0.492；P<0.01), the gonadotropin releasing hormone agonist short regimen (aOR:0.611; 95%CI: 0.467-0.799; P<0.01). In addition, we found that hydrosalpinx did not significantly affect the live birth rate after fresh embryo transfer in endometrial cavity fluid patients.Conclusions: For infertile patients with endometrial cavity fluid before fresh embryo transfer, age <35 years, endometrial thickness ≥8mm on trigger day and transfer two embryos might obtain better pregnancy outcomes, and history of endometritis, gonadotropin releasing hormone agonist short regime and Gonadotropin start-up dose >150IU might be opposite.

Published: January 2022

Abstract
IntroductionDealing with religious congregations in times of epidemics could be challenging. This mobilization and gathering could serve as a potential focal point for dispersal of novel pathogens. Furthermore in the light of recent events on the pandemic COVID-19, there are some considerable concerns about the perception of the religious community toward pandemic COVID-19. Thus, this study explored the perception of the religious communities about pandemic COVID-19 and their prevention practice amid pandemic.MethodA qualitative research method with in depth exploratory phenomenological study approach was employed. Purposive sampling technique was used to select 22 study participants from Christion Protestant, Christian Orthodox, Muslim and Wakefata. In-depth interview and focus group discussion were conducted with religious community including religious leader. Data was analyzed using content analysis informed by health belief model.ResultThe study describes the perception of religious community including religious leaders with help of the four constructs of the health belief model: perceived susceptibility, perceived severity, perceived benefit and perceived barriers. Many participants witnessed that people who are gathered in confined places like churches and mosques are susceptible to COVID-19. Most of participants realized that there are still misconceptions about COVID-19 disease. Many participants witnessed that most of their church members still do not believe in the existence of COVID-19. In addition, some participants revealed that until now there are parts of the community that associated COVID-19 with politics, scientists, illuminants, or the disease of devilsConclusion and RecommendationThe majority of participants agreed that the risk of getting COVID-19 pandemic during religious congregation is very high. The result highlights the need for holistic approach by concerned stakeholders to convince the religious congregation about the realty of this pandemic which could improve the prevention practice and their decision making process.
A Theoretical Evaluation of the Behavior of Nitrosoamidine upon Reacting
with Methoxy Butadiene as Potential Heterodiene or Heterodienophile

Published: January 2022

Abstract:
The molecular mechanism of experimentally observed regio- and chemo-selectivity of the
cycloaddition reaction of nitrosoamidine 1 and 1-methoxy butadiene 2 has been investigated using
DFT calculations at M06-2X/cc-pVDZ level. Accordingly, the possible reaction pathways and factors
that govern selectivity are investigated systematically. Analysis of the calculated results showed that
the most favorable cyclization reaction occurs through the [2+4] endo-proximal pathway, which is kinetically
and thermodynamically controlled. Moreover, analysis of the global and local reactivity indices
correctly explains the source of the experimentally observed regio- and chemoselectivity. The electron
localization function (ELF) analysis of some selected points along the IRC profile of the most preferred
pathway suggested that the reaction takes place via a two-stage one-step mechanism. NCI topological
analysis of the possible pathways of [2+4] cycloaddition reaction of 1-E and 2-Z revealed the roles
of the attractive interactions between reaction sites, the weak noncovalent interactions observed in the endo
approaches, and the repulsive interactions in the regio- and stereo-selectivity of the reaction.
Linguistic Assertiveness to Contest Minorization: Observations from Small Interventions to Boost the Use of Frisian in Fryslân
Authors: Belmar Viernes G. 
Published: January 2022

As Belmar, van Boven & Pinho (2019) pointed out, Frisians tend to quickly switch to Dutch in conversations in which their interlocutor either answers in Dutch or exhibits signs of struggling with Frisian. This accommodation is often seen as an act of politeness, but it also contributes to the minorization of, in this case, Frisian. Suay & Sanginés (2010) argue that linguistic assertiveness needs to be considered in language promotion campaigns, as it aims to empower speakers to break away from these dynamics of diglossia. In this paper we will present qualitative observations from two small interventions where 15 participants took part in Linguistic Assertiveness workshops designed to train them to trust receptive multilingualism and engage in bilingual conversations. The observations from these interventions show that politeness ideologies are an obstacle for the embrace of multilingual conversations, but positive attitudes and reports of positive experiences suggest that these can be contested. The results also suggest that further application of linguistic assertiveness - and the consequent embracing of bi-/multilingual conversations - may have a boosting effect on the use of the Frisian language in the province.

Published: January 2022

Introducción. En 2017, la ciudad de Bucaramanga ensayó diversos esquemas de restricción vehicular para mejorar la movilidad y calidad del aire. Estos esquemas fueron: libre circulación (PP0), restricción limitada (PP1) y restricción ampliada (PP2). El Objetivo de este estudio fue comparar los niveles de material particulado (PM10) y de ozono troposférico (O3) en estos tres esquemas, y evaluar su efecto sobre la calidad del aire, así como el impacto de dicha calidad sobre la incidencia de enfermedades respiratorias. Materiales y Métodos. La información sobre variables meteorológicas y niveles de contaminantes por hora y día pertenece al Instituto de Hidrología, Meteorología y Estudios Ambientales de Colombia. Las estadísticas de enfermedades respiratorias corresponden a la Secretaría de Salud y Ambiente de Bucaramanga. Toda la información corresponde al año 2017. La comparación de los niveles de contaminantes se hizo con base en estadísticas descriptivas, pruebas ANOVA y funciones de densidad. El análisis de los factores que afectan la incidencia de enfermedades respiratorias se basó en un modelo de regresión de Poisson, con las variables climatológicas combinadas en factores obtenidos a través de análisis de componentes principales. Resultados. El ANOVA indicó diferencias significativas en niveles promedio de PM10 entre esquemas de movilidad. Las funciones de densidad muestran una sustancial reducción de PM10 bajo PP2. En el modelo de Poisson, O3 resultó estadísticamente no significativo; el número de casos de enfermedades respiratorias atendidos en centros hospitalarios fue significativamente inferior en PP2 y se decrece con una disminución de PM10. Conclusiones. PP2 permite 48 % de ganancia ambiental en cuanto a emisiones de PM10; bajo PP1 esta ganancia es inferior al 3 %. Ningún esquema contribuye a reducir las ya bajas concentraciones de O3. Una caída del 10 % en los niveles de PM10 disminuye el número de casos de enfermedades respiratorios en 5,6 %. El estudio favorece la adopción del esquema PP2.

Published: January 2022

Gender equality is one of the main priorities of any democratic society. The developed world has long agreed that the participation of women in politics is a key condition for democratic development of the country. No country can ensure fair and equal-opportunity policy without the participation of women. It will take decades for women to naturally secure equal political participation. Therefore, in order to speed progress and to address inequalities, in 2020, after much resistance and disagreements, the statutory gender quota was adopted by the Georgian Parliament.
The purpose of this study is to examine the current situation regarding women’s participation in Georgian political life, to identify factors that have led to the implementation of the statutory gender quota, to access the efficiency of the state policies to increase women’s representation in political institutions and also to assess how incentive mechanisms devised in previous years have increased women’s representation in Georgian political life. The aim of the paper is to identify the main reasons that hinder women’s political involvement in Georgia. In the long term, it is necessary to maintain and increase the current gender quota to ensure equal representation.

Published: January 2022

This research is preliminary research. Individuals can do whatever they want, including buying something in the form of goods or products. Purchases made are not based on careful consideration and are carried out excessively which can trigger consumptive behavior. The phenomenon related to consumptive behavior can be concluded that the three subjects show consumptive behavior by being shown extravagant behavior. One of the subjects stated that the subject's friend environment likes shopping, so the subject feels isolated and not confidence when he looks like different appearance. These problem can affet on individual self concept. If the individual has a positive self concept, then the consumptive behaviour is very low. Otherwise, If the individual has a negative self concept, then the consumptive behaviour is very high. The urgency in this study is to provide education to readers and consumers to see themselves more as not implementing a wasteful and consumptive lifestyle. Such behavior can be self-defeating and have an impact on the next life. In buying something, individuals are required to buy the goods they need, not just the lure and seduction of good quality goods where they are not needed.The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of conformity and self-concept on consumptive behavior on student University of Muhammadiyah Gresik.This research using a quantitative research type with a survey method. The participants of this study is psychology students. This initial survey was conducted through in-depth interviews with three participant. The scale used in this study is the scale of conformity, self-concept, and consumptive behavior. Sampling Technique using Non-Probabilty Sampling is Incidental Sampling.

Leontius, Presbyter of Constantinople. Homily on the Nativity of Christ (CPG 7899a; BHGa 1914m): Old Georgian Fragment 1
Authors: Ким Сергий 
Published: January 2022

В статье публикуется новое критическое издание первого из двух древнегрузинских отрывков проповеди «На Рождество Христово» (CPG 7899a; BHGa 1914m) Леонтия, пресвитера Константинопольского, которые не сохранились в дошедших до нас греческих рукописях. Издание основано на тексте «Афонского многоглава» (Ivir. georg. 11); в критическом аппарате указаны разночтения с «Пархальским многоглавом» (Tbilisi, A-95) по предыдущему изданию Нино Меликишвили. На основании анализа разночтений высказывается гипотеза о редакционной правке, проведённой на грузинской почве над изначальным текстом перевода. Также в введении рассматриваются параллели первого грузинского фрагмента с другими проповедями Леонтия и место грузинского фрагмента внутри греческого текста. Издание древнегрузинского фрагмента сопровождается переводом на русский язык.
The present article features a new critical edition of the first of two Georgian fragments of the sermon “On the Nativity of Christ” (CPG 7899a; BHGa 1914m) by Leontius, Presbyter of Constantinople, which are lost in the extant Greek manuscripts. The edition is based on the text of the so-called “Athos Mravaltavi” (Ivir. georg. 11); the critical apparatus collates readings of the “Parchal Mravaltavi” (Tbilisi, A-95) published earlier by Nino Melikishvili. An analysis of readings allows to proceed to the hypothesis that initial Georgian translation underwent editorial interventions. Parallels between the Georgian fragment and other sermons by Leontius are assessed in the Introduction, as well as the emplacement of the Georgian fragment within the Greek text. A Russian translation accompanies the edition of the Georgian fragment.
Dostoevsky on the Ways and Principles of the Unity of Russia and Europe
Authors: Сыромятников Олег Иванович 
Published: January 2022

В работе исследуются взгляды Ф. М. Достоевского на проблему исторической судьбы России. Писатель полагает, что основу русской культуры образует христианство. Оно определяет ценности и цели развития русского народа и связывает его со всем христианским миром. Однако в силу ряда причин христианство в Западной Европе постепенно деградировало, что привело к системному кризису, угрожающему существованию европейской цивилизации. Достоевский уверен, что помочь духовному возрождению Европы может только Россия, сохранившая в чистоте учение Христа.
This paper investigates the views of F. M. Dostoevsky concerning the problem of the historical fate of Russia. The author believes that Christianity is the basis of Russian culture. It determines the values and the aims of development of Russian people and connects them with the whole Christian world. For a number of reasons, however, Christianity in Western Europe has gradually degraded, resulting in a systemic crisis that threatens the existence of European civilization. F.M. Dostoevsky is convinced that only Russia, having preserved the teaching of Christ in purity, can help Europe in its spiritual revival.
