Accounting before Accountability
Authors: Thum Yeow Meng 
Published: October 2022

In this article, we will review several issues relating to the
definition of “adequate yearly progress” (AYP), and its
measurement, and offer some reasons why it may be prudent to
separate the definition and measurement of AYP from its use in
accountability. The design of accountability system includes
general prescriptions about what data are relevant, policy
questions that will guide the formulation of progress and
productivity indicators based on students’ longitudinal test
scores, and procedures for using the resulting indicators in
accountability.

AbstractObjectives. Parietal lobe epilepsy is one of the rarest types and patients with this form of epilepsy report multiple subjective symptoms during ictal manifestation. Specific facial coupling of emotion and motor symptoms may take various forms, such as pouting and disgust or smiling. We aimed to highlight brain structures and the network involved during ictal grimacing in parietal lobe seizures.Methods. In this study, we report two patients with drug‐resistant epilepsy, with seizure onset located in the inferior parietal lobule and a semiology characterized by ictal grimacing. Patients were explored with intracranial electrodes using the stereo‐electroencephalographic method. Time‐frequency and functional connectivity (a non‐linear regression method based on the h2 correlation coefficient) signal analyses were performed time‐locked to ictal grimace. For both patients, using spectral analysis, we were able to confirm that the bipolar channels, localized at the level of the inferior parietal lobule, were involved in the seizure onset zone, exhibiting a high frequency discharge.Results. The first patient presented with ictal pouting and disgust and the second with smiling/laughter. Connectivity analysis highlighted two different networks responsible for seizure semiology, consisting of grimacing with different emotional expression. The inferior parietal lobule, connected mainly to the anterior insula, dorsal‐lateral prefrontal cortex and frontal operculum were responsible for the typical grimace associated with disgust. Furthermore, the inferior parietal lobule, basal temporal structures, superior temporal gyrus, orbitofrontal cortex and temporal pole were involved in smiling and laughter.Significance. It is of great significance for epileptologists to know that the same seizure onset zone in the inferior parietal lobule can generate contrasting facial expressions, smiling/laughter and pouting/disgust, by engaging different epileptogenic networks; the temporo‐basal‐orbitofrontal and insulo‐opercular networks, respectively.

Relative Focal Mechanism Inversion and Its Application to Ridgecrest Sequence
Authors: Kuang Wenhuan , Yuan Congcong , Zhang Jie , Zhang Wei 
Published: October 2022

AbstractEarthquake focal mechanisms are important for characterizing the subsurface faulting geometry and evaluating stress distributions. Existing approaches usually strive to determine the absolute focal mechanisms and may be subject to large uncertainties due to incomprehensive knowledge of the velocity model, particularly for moderate-to-small earthquakes. Alternatively, difficulties that arise from the velocity model can be largely mitigated by inverting the relative data variations in a series of earthquakes, because effects from the velocity model are systematic among all events in the vicinity. In this study, we propose a novel relative focal mechanism inversion (RFMI) method to invert the second-order variations in a series of focal mechanisms utilizing a well-constrained primary event. We test the RFMI method on both synthetic data and 251 real earthquakes (M ≥3) in the 2019 Ridgecrest sequence. The synthetic test results show that the RFMI method is robust and insusceptible to location errors (&lt;2 km) and systematic velocity errors (5%). The real data application results demonstrate improved consistency among the inverted focal mechanisms, resulting in better characterization of the fault orientations than the Southern California Seismic Network (SCSN) focal mechanism catalog. The retrieved earthquake depths are also well correlated with the depths of the Mw 6.4 and 7.1 mainshocks. Waveform cross-correlation analysis verifies the reliability of the results. Furthermore, dynamic stress monitoring is enabled with decent resolution. The proposed RFMI method paves a new path toward achieving a rich number of reliable earthquake focal mechanisms, which will benefit the investigation of the earthquake process.
Using a genetic algorithm to model broadband regional waveforms for crustal structure in the western United States

Published: October 2022

AbstractIn this study, we analyze regional seismograms to obtain the crustal structure in the eastern Great Basin and western Colorado plateau. Adopting a forward-modeling approach, we develop a genetic algorithm (GA) based parameter search technique to constrain the one-dimensional crustal structure in these regions. The data are broadband three-component seismograms recorded at the 1994-95 IRIS PASSCAL Colorado Plateau to Great Basin experiment (CPGB) stations and supplemented by data from U.S. National Seismic Network (USNSN) stations in Utah and Nevada. We use the southwestern Wyoming mine collapse event (Mb = 5.2) that occurred on 3 February 1995 as the seismic source. We model the regional seismograms using a four-layer crustal model with constant layer parameters. Timing of teleseismic receiver functions at CPGB stations are added as an additional constraint in the modeling.GA allows us to efficiently search the model space. A carefully chosen fitness function and a windowing scheme are added to the algorithm to prevent search stagnation. The technique is tested with synthetic data, both with and without random Gaussian noise added to it. Several separate model searches are carried out to estimate the variability of the model parameters. The average Colorado plateau crustal structure is characterized by a 40-km-thick crust with velocity increases at depths of about 10 and 25 km and a fast lower crust while the Great Basin has approximately 35-km-thick crust and a 2.9-km-thick sedimentary layer.
Velocity structure of the upper crust under the San Francisco volcanic field, Arizona
Authors: Durrani Bashir A. , Doser Diane I. , Keller G. R. , Hearn Thomas M. 
Published: October 2022

AbstractIn addition to traditional in-line wide-angle seismic profiles, the 1989 Pacific to Arizona Crustal Experiment (PACE-1989) included some off-line shots and seismic recorders, which, along with the data from the main profiles, provide tomographic coverage of the late Cenozoic San Francisco volcanic field. This major volcanic center is interesting because of its location on the margin of the Colorado plateau and because of the diversity of the composition of the volcanics. We employed arrival times for the Pg phase to undertake a tomographic analysis of the structure of the upper crust. The tomographic image indicates high-velocity zones at upper crustal depths under the San Francisco Mountain region. The P-wave velocities within these zones are 6% higher than the surrounding basement rocks. Although other interpretations are possible, we believe that these high-velocity regions most likely represent igneous intrusions associated with the volcanic centers that formed the San Francisco volcanic field. Geologic studies indicate that these intrusions would be of intermediate to mafic composition. Gravity data in the San Francisco volcanic field area also indicate that these high-velocity regions are coincident with high-density bodies at upper crustal depths.

Authors: Startsev V. Yu. , Golubev S. V. 
Published: October 2022

The operation of the oncological services of the Russian Federation were complicated by the spread of the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome CoronaVirus-2, which worsened the diagnosis of lung cancer and led to the reorientation of medical institutions to the anti-epidemic mode.The aim. To evaluate the features of providing medical care for lung cancer to residents of the Magadan Region during the pandemic of COronaVIrus Disease-19 (COVID-19).Methods. The analysis of the Magadan Region database on patients with lung cancer was carried out. The databased is filled in with the information from state statistical reporting forms No.7 and No.35. General problems of the Magadan Region healthcare system were identified using materials of publications from the Medline, CrossRef, Pubmed and Scopus databases for 2019 – 2021; the potential solutions were also suggested.Results. The analysis of the incidence of malignant neoplasms in 2014 – 2020 yy. showed that lung tumors are in the lead among Magadan Region residents. The “rough” incidence rate of lung cancer in 2019 (58.8 per 100,000 inhabitants an increase from 2009 +20.74%) and the relative proportion of these tumors detected in 2020 in localized stages are ahead of the average values for the Russian Federation. In 2018 – 2021, the indicator of morphological verification of lung cancer and the proportion of advanced tumors continued to increase, but the one-year mortality rate was decreasing. In 2021, 10.3% of the residents of Magadan Region had low-dose computed tomography (CT) of the chest organs. 10 (1.8%) cases of lung cancer were detected. Localized lung cancer was detected in 32.5% of those cases (2020 – 24.5%, 2019 – 20.3%). The spread of the coronavirus infection has complicated work of the staff of the Magadan Region oncology service: remote medical consultations for patients living far from the regional center (Magadan) are to be developed. Insufficient number of low-dose CT machines in the medical institutions, understaffing in health facilities, insufficient use of chemotherapy in the treatment of patients with lung cancer, as well as problems of palliative care for patients with advanced stages of the tumor were identified.Conclusion. The main problems of the oncological service of the Magadan Region are the shortage of personnel, lack of equipment and the lack of a single information field in the medical institutions. These problems of specialized medical care for patients with lung cancer will have to be solved by the regional Ministry of Health, scientific schools, and universities.

Immune defense mechanisms in survivors of the COronaVIrus Disease-19 (COVID-19) and development of their rehabilitation during the pandemic both portray a great scientific and practical interest.The aim of the study was to explore effect of Immunovac-VP-4® (I-VP-4), a vaccine based on bacterial ligands, on the clinical and airway mucosal immunity parameters, along with systemic immune response in a group of medical workers in post-COVID period and in persons who did not develop the disease.Methods. 82 healthcare workers aged from 18 to 65 years were included in a prospective open controlled study. The participants were divided into 4 groups: groups 1 (n = 20) and 2 (n = 27) included those with a history of COVID-19, and groups 3 (n = 18) and 4 (n = 17) included those who did not have the disease. Volunteers in groups 1 and 3 received I-VP-4. Samples of oral fluid, induced sputum, nasopharyngeal and oropharyngeal mucosa scrapings, and venous blood were examined. The levels of total secretory immunoglobulin class A (sIgA) and immunoglobulin G (IgG) were determined by enzyme immunoassay. The phagocytic index (PI) of leukocytes was assessed by flow cytometry.Results. The group of patients who did not have COVID-19 and received IVP-4 (Group 3) showed a tendency to a smaller number of COVID-19 cases, as well as some reduction in days of incapacity for work due to the acute respiratory infections (ARI). The vaccine improved airway mucosal immunity parameters and innate immune response. sIgA increased in the induced sputum (p < 0.005) and unchanged in the oropharyngeal mucosa samples in Group 1. The PI of macrophages in oral fluid doubled (p < 0.05) in this group. At the same time, those parameters decreased in Group 2. In non-infected vaccinated patients (Group 3), a significant increase of PI of blood monocytes was found on the day 90 of the study (p < 0.05). Also, a four-fold increase of PI of macrophages in oral fluid in comparison with Group 4 (p < 0.05) was noted.Conclusion. I-VP-4 improved airway mucosal immunity mechanisms and the systemic immune response. The vaccine can be recommended for rehabilitation programs for COVID-19 survivors and for prevention of ARIs.

Published: October 2022

Ureteral fibroepithelial polyps (UFPs) are rare abnormality that may cause ureteral obstruction. Herein, we report a 35- year- old woman with flank pain, dysuria, frequency and transient total gross hematuria. A mass in the right ureter was reported on imaging and in endoscopic evaluation, small polypoid mass protruding from the right ureteral orifice in the bladder, and a huge ureteral mass originating from proximal ureter was observed. A right subcostal flank incision was done, a huge polypoid mass with a segment of ureteral was excised, and end-to-end anastomosis of the ureter was done. Histopathological examination showed a UFP without malignancy.
Frequency, Risk Factors, and Pregnancy Outcomes in Cases with Placenta Accreta Spectrum Disorder: A Case-Control Study
Authors: Tadayon Mitra , Javadifar Nahid , Dastoorpoor Maryam , Shahbazian Nahid 
Published: October 2022

Background: Placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) disorder is an important life-threatening problem. The purpose of the current study was to determine the frequency, risk factors, and pregnancy outcomes of PAS in our population.
Methods: This is a case-control study using the data from a main tertiary referral university hospital in Ahvaz, southwest of Iran. The sample included 187 cases diagnosed with placenta accreta spectrum from 2015 to 2019 and 552 controls without PAS. A multivariable logistic regression model was used to find independent risk factors with 95% confidence interval. Pregnancy outcomes were evaluated using chi-square, t-test, and Mann-Whitney U test and p<0.05 were considered statistically significant.
Results: The frequency of PAS during the study period was 3.7/1000 deliveries (0.37%). It was found that multiparity (≥3 deliveries, OR=2.05: 95%CI:1.21-3.47) and multigravidity (≥3 deliveries, OR=2.98: 95%CI:1.55-5.72), prior cesarean delivery (OR=52.55: 95%CI:19.73-139.96), and placenta previa (OR=27.48: 95%CI: 9.62-78.5) are the independent risk factors of PAS. Complications and morbidity associated with PAS included hysterectomy (60.4% vs. 0.7%, p<0.001), cystostomy (24.1% vs. 0.2%, p<0.001), the need for blood transfusion (73.7% vs. 1.4%, p< 0.001), intensive care unit admission of mother (42.8% vs. 0.2%, p<0.001), duration of hospitalization (7.52±6.34 vs. 1.97±1.83, p<0.001), preterm birth <37 weeks (61.4% vs. 16.8%, p<0.001), and perinatal mortality (7.4% vs. 1.8%, p<0.001) which manifested statistically significant values.
Conclusion: The frequency of PAS is similar to other populations. Prior cesarean delivery, placenta previa, multigravidity, and multiparity were independent risk factors and also perinatal hysterectomy and preterm birth were the most important complications.
Apparent Homozygosity for a gr/gr AZFc Deletion in A 47,XYY Man with Oligozoospermia and Secondary Infertility

Published: October 2022

Background: Approximately 1 in 1000 men have a 47,XYY karyotype. Previous publications have presented cases of infertile XYY men and have suggested that the additional Y chromosome may cause disrupted meiosis leading to sperm apoptosis. The purpose of the current study was to determine whether XYY men are over-represented in infertility cohorts.

Methods: In this paper, an ongoing infertility cohort was evaluated for Y chromosome microdeletions using the MLPA technique and the data from the first 2000 referrals were recorded. Moreover, the MLPA technique detected 47,XYY karyotypes.
Results: Four XYY individuals were identified within the cohort. One of the four XYY men was shown to have an apparent gr/gr partial AZFc deletion on both Y chromosomes while Sertoli cell only syndrome was detected in another case. The other two cases (out of 2000) might, therefore, represent an incidental finding.
Conclusion: The gr/gr deletion is not detectable by the multiplex PCR method; therefore, there might be additional explanations for the fertility problems of infertile XYY men reported in previously published articles. It seems that among other cases, their XYY karyotype may be coincidental, rather than causative of their fertility issues.
„Fail better”, czyli jak poprawić improwizację
Authors: Żaglewska Agata 
Published: October 2022

W tym artykule wskazuję związki filomackiej poezji okolicznościowej z improwizacją poetycką. Na podstawie analizy autografów dwóch wybranych utworów – Jambu dla Jana II Tomasza Zana i Odezwy spod stołu Teodora Łozińskiego – uzasadniam tezę, że jamby przedstawiane podczas imieninowych fet to przykłady improwizacji w piśmie. Analizowane utwory intensyfikują dwie najbardziej charakterystyczne cechy jambografii – zawrotną szybkość tworzenia (Zan) i wynikające z niej niedopracowanie, bylejakość wypowiedzi poetyckiej (Łoziński). Zwracam uwagę na uzupełnianie się kodów lingwistycznych i materialnych, tj. wzmożenie podanych cech zawartych w warstwie słownej utworów poprzez sposób ich zapisu w autografach. W części drugiej artykułu zastanawiam się nad możliwościami wprowadzania modyfikacji do utworów o improwizowanym charakterze – wprowa­dzam kategorię „poprawiania przez powtórzenie” i opisuję ją, odwołując się zarówno do Jambu dla Jana II i Odezwy spod stołu, jak i do innych tekstów pozostałych po filomackich fetach.
Traces of improvisation in "Jedyne wyjście" by Witkacy
Authors: Bocheński Tomasz 
Published: October 2022

In the article I have analysed the concept of improvisation recorded in Jedyne wyjście by Witkacy. He described the notion as unconstrained variation-based creation flowing from an inspired vision. Witkacy considered vision as the most fundamental source element of artistic theory and creative practice. I have also analysed the traces of improvisation in the manuscript of Jedyne wyjście and I have discussed the play between amplifications and visions recorded in the improvised fragments.
Two editions of Sny i kamienie by Magdalena Tulli
Authors: Wąsowski Piotr Jakub 
Published: October 2022

The author offers a juxtaposition of two editions of Sny i kamienie [Dreams and Stones] by Magdalena Tulli in the context of Italo Calvino’s Invisible Cities and urbanology. In the text he analyses the differences between the editions and discusses the origins of the modifications of the novel implemented by the writer. Those modifications sometimes facilitate while other times hinder the identification of the sources of her thinking, i.e., her reflection on urbanity. Sny i kamienie is a novel that constitutes a record of the experiences of the modernist transformation of two cities, Warsaw and Milan. The reading of Sny i kamienie is difficult at several levels: firstly, due to its treatise-like style and the narrator’s role of a seemingly uncritical eulogist of the urban planning order; secondly, due to a blurring of the traces of contaminations of various experiences: of Warsaw, of Milan, and that of a reader; and thirdly, due to a lack in Polish culture of any traditions of this type of prose text devoted to the city. The essay constitutes an attempt at reconstructing the possible contexts of the novel and how they influenced the alterations implemented by the writer in the more recent edition.
«Летучий голландец» белорусской поэзии: сборник Нэа-літ как литературный феномен
Authors: Levytskyi Viacheslav 
Published: October 2022

Цель предлагаемой работы – проанализировать статус сборника Неалит (1993–1994) в белорусском литературном процессе 1990-х гг. Материал исследования составляет макет этой книги из личного архива поэта Виктора Жибуля. Ранее соответствующий документ не был обнародован и введен в научный оборот.
Особенности Нэа-літа освещаются в обще концептуальном, текстологическом и жанрово-стилистическом аспектах.
Среди прочего, мини-антология продемонстрировала кристаллизацию новой литературы. Кроме того, в сборник вошли варианты стихотворений Сержа Минскевича, Ильи Сина, Алеся Туровича, отличные от более поздних публикаций. В итоге Нэа-літ стал площадкой для поиска актуального художественного языка. В рамках макета издания наметились радикальные транслогические эксперименты, сформировался нестандартный жанр «панфиль», проявилось преобладание образов городского пространства с подчеркнутыми мотивами телесности.
