Evocations of Nekrasov’s trench prose in Elena Rzhevskaya’s novellas

The article examines the unique characteristics of E. Rzhevskaya’s prose. In 1941–1945, Rzhevskaya was an army interpreter from German. In her analysis of Rzhevskaya’s biography and literary output, S. Perevalova shows the assimilation of the writer’s wartime experience in her oeuvre, which simultaneously follows the patterns of ‘lieutenant prose,’ typified by novellas of V. Nekrasov, Y. Bondarev and other contemporaries of Rzhevskaya’s, and the tradition of Russian classical writers of the 19th c. and the Silver Age. The first work of ‘lieutenant prose’ that invokes the classical tradition was V. Nekrasov’s In the Trenches of Stalingrad [V okopakh Stalingrada], a novella strongly defined by humanism and ties to classical Russian war prose. The author names Nekrasov as well as Lermontov and Blok as influences on Rzhevskaya’s creative method, her affinity with the two poets made stronger by their translations of German poetry which earned the status of classics. Thanks to her interest in Blok and Lermontov, a writer Rzhevskaya became acquainted with world culture, where German literature has long been prominently represented.

A systematic review of sham acupuncture validation studies

BackgroundAcupuncture is widely used worldwide; however, studies on its effectiveness have been impeded by limitations regarding the design of appropriate control groups. In clinical research, noninvasive sham acupuncture techniques can only be applied through validation studies. Therefore, this systematic review aimed to evaluate the scope of existing literature on this topic to identify trends.MethodsWe queried Pubmed, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials databases from inception to July 2022 for relevant articles. Author names were used to identify additional relevant articles. Two independent reviewers assessed the identified articles based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The following data were extracted: study design, information regarding acupuncturists and participants, general and treatment-related characteristics of the intervention and control groups, participants’ experience of acupuncture, and research findings.ResultsThe database query yielded 673 articles, of which 29 articles were included in the final review. Among these, 18 involved the use of one of three devices: Streitberger (n = 5), Park (n = 7), and Takakura (n = 6) devices. The remaining 11 studies used other devices, including self-developed needles. All the included studies were randomized controlled trials. The methodological details of the included studies were heterogeneous with respect to outcomes assessed, blinding, and results.ConclusionsSham acupuncture validation studies have been conducted using healthy volunteers, with a focus on blind review and technological developments in sham acupuncture devices. However, theren may be language bias in our findings since we could not query Chinese and Japanese databases due to language barriers. There is a need for more efforts toward establishing control groups suitable for various acupuncture therapy interventions. Moreover, there is a need for more rigorous sham acupuncture validation studies, which could lead to higher-quality clinical studies.

Multi‐scale feature aggregation network for single‐image dehazing

AbstractTransformer possesses a broader perceptual scope, while the Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) excels at capturing local information. In this paper, the authors propose the Multi‐Sclale Feature Aggregation Network (MSFA‐Net) for single‐image dehazing which is fused with the advantages of Transformer and CNN. Our MSFA‐Net is based on the encoder–decoder structure, and there are four main innovations. Firstly, the authors make some improvements to the original Swin Transformer to make it more effective for dehazing tasks, and the authors name it Spatial Information Aggregation Transformer (SIAT). The authors place the SIAT in both encoder and decoder of MSFA‐Net for feature extraction. The authors propose an upsampling module called Efficient Spatial Resolution Recovery (ESRR) which is placed in the decoder part. Compared to commonly used transposed convolutions, the authors’ ESRR module has fewer computational cost. Considering that the haze distribution is always uneven and the information from each channel is different, the authors introduce the Dynamic Multi‐Attention (DMA) module to provide pixel‐wise weights and channel‐wise weights for input features. The authors place the DMA module between the encoder and decoder parts. As the network depth increases, the spatial structural information from the high‐resolution layer tends to degrade. To deal with the problem, the authors propose the Multi‐Scale Feature Fusion (MSFF) module to recover missing spatial structural information. The authors place the MSFF module in both the encoder and decoder parts. Extensive experimental results show that the authors’ proposed dehazing network achieves state‐of‐the‐art dehazing performance with relatively low computational cost.

Cancer research in Lebanon: Scope of the most recent publications of an academic institution (Review).

Cancer may be considered one of the most interesting areas of study, and although oncology research has grown markedly over the last decade, there is as yet no known cure for cancer. The objective of the present review is to examine various approaches to cancer research from a single institution, summarize their key conclusions and offer recommendations for future evaluations. The review examined 72 cancer-associated studies that were published within six years from 2017 to 2022. Published works in the subject fields of 'cancer' or 'oncology' and 'research' that were indexed in Scopus and Web of Science were retrieved and sorted according to article title, author names, author count, citation count and key words. After screening, a total of 28 in vitro/animal studies and 46 patient-associated published studies were obtained. A large proportion of these studies comprised literature reviews (20/72), while 20 studies were observational in nature. The 72 publications included 23 in which various types of cancer were examined, while the remaining studies focused on specific types of cancer, including lung, breast, colon and brain cancer. These studies aimed to investigate the incidence, prevalence, treatment and prevention mechanisms associated with cancer. Despite the existence of extensive cancer research, scientists seldom contemplate an ultimate cure for cancer. However, it is crucial to continuously pursue research on cancer prevention and treatment in order to enhance the effectiveness and minimize potential side effects of cancer therapy.

Publications Among Pain Medicine Fellowship-Trained American Board of Anesthesiology Diplomates.

American Board of Anesthesiology (ABA) diplomates who pursue clinical fellowship training in pain medicine may be better suited to lead scholarly projects and serve as first authors of publications in peer-reviewed journals given their additional training and clinical expertise. The primary aim of this study was to determine whether ABA certification in pain medicine is associated with a greater number of peer-reviewed publications. The secondary aim included assessments of whether pain medicine fellowship training is associated with a higher publication rate (publications per year) or publication in a larger number of peer-reviewed journals. A literature search was conducted in December 2023 using the Scopus database for publications related to anesthesiology and pain medicine in the United States between 2013 and 2023. First authors identified through the search were then individually searched within the ABA physician directory. The following data were collected: author name and identification number, year of publication, publication type (article or review), year of primary anesthesiology certification, and year of fellowship, if applicable. This study identified 9,612 publications and 6,924 unique first authors. Pain medicine fellowship training was associated with a statistically significant increase (p-value < 0.001) in the number of publications (0.546; 95% confidence interval {CI}, 0.386-0.707), publications per year (0.140; 95% CI, 0.121-0.159), and publication in a larger number of peer-reviewed journals (0.256; 95% CI, 0.182-0.330) in regression models adjusted for the number of years from certification. This query of the Scopus database and ABA physician directory indicates that pain medicine fellowship training is associated with statistically significant increases in research productivity, as defined by the number of publications, publications per year, or the number of publications in peer-reviewed journals. However, these increases in research output would not lead to a marked increase inscholarship productivity to justify pursuing a fellowship for this purpose.

Beggaring Thy Co-Worker: Labor Market Dualization and the Wage Growth Slowdown in Europe

As temporary employment has become a pervasive feature of modern labor markets, reasons for wage growth have become less well understood. To determine whether these two phenomena are related, the authors investigate whether the dualized structure of labor markets affects macroeconomic developments. Specifically, they incorporate involuntary temporary workers into the standard wage Phillips curve to examine wage growth in 30 European countries for the period 2004–2017. Relying on individual-level data to adjust for a changing employment composition, their findings show, for the first time, that the incidence of involuntary temporary workers has strong negative effects on permanent workers’ wage growth, thereby dampening aggregate wage growth. This effect, which the authors name the competition effect, is particularly pronounced in countries where wage bargaining institutions are weak. The findings shed further light on the reasons for the secular slowdown of wage growth after the global financial crisis.

Sustainable coatings for green solar photovoltaic cells: performance and environmental impact of recyclable biomass digestate polymers

The underutilization of digestate-derived polymers presents a pressing environmental concern as these valuable materials, derived from anaerobic digestion processes, remain largely unused, contributing to pollution and environmental degradation when left unutilized. This study explores the recovery and utilization of biodegradable polymers from biomass anaerobic digestate to enhance the performance of solar photovoltaic (PV) cells while promoting environmental sustainability. The anaerobic digestion process generates organic residues rich in biodegradable materials, often considered waste. However, this research investigates the potential of repurposing these materials by recovering and transforming them into high-quality coatings or encapsulants for PV cells. The recovered biodegradable polymers not only improve the efficiency and lifespan of PV cells but also align with sustainability objectives by reducing the carbon footprint associated with PV cell production and mitigating environmental harm. The study involves a comprehensive experimental design, varying coating thickness, direct normal irradiance (DNI) (A), dry bulb temperature (DBT) (B), and relative humidity (C) levels to analyze how different types of recovered biodegradable polymers interact with diverse environmental conditions. Optimization showed that better result was achieved at A = 8 W/m2, B = 40 °C and C = 70% for both the coated material studied. Comparative study showed that for enhanced cell efficiency and cost effectiveness, EcoPolyBlend coated material is more suited however for improving durability and reducing environmental impact NanoBioCelluSynth coated material is preferable choice. Results show that these materials offer promising improvements in PV cell performance and significantly lower environmental impact, providing a sustainable solution for renewable energy production. This research contributes to advancing both the utilization of biomass waste and the development of eco-friendly PV cell technologies, with implications for a more sustainable and greener energy future. This study underscores the pivotal role of exploring anaerobic digestate-derived polymers in advancing the sustainability and performance of solar photovoltaic cells, addressing critical environmental and energy challenges of our time.Please confirm if the author names are presented accurately and in the correct sequence (given name, middle name/initial, family name).

Online marketing and brand awareness for HEI: A review and bibliometric analysis

Background This study conducted a comprehensive bibliometric analysis to identify the gaps in the existing literature related to Online marketing and brand awareness strategies for HEI. It has evaluated the current state of the literature on the given topic showing the pivotal role of online marketing and brand awareness in higher education for enrollment. Methods The study used a web-based application, Biblioshiny, which comes in the bibliometrix package. The study used the Scopus database to create the data set, given its conventional construction and quality of the sources. The analysis done is descriptive. By using the bibliometrix software, the study showed the authors name, articles, sources, citations, relevant journals and co-citation from the year 2017 to 2022. The time period selected by the study was five years which means that articles published from 2017 to 2022 have been taken for the study. Results We found that HEI online marketing and brand awareness have not been explored much as it has not reached the stage of maturity. Most of the publication was done during the time of Covid-19. Also, the role of brand awareness in student enrollment decisions for HEI requires more investigation. Top most publications their sources and top authors are identified. Conclusions Bibliometric analysis has provided valuable insights into the seminal work, emerging trends, and the gap in the study. This area of study has been explored but not as much as challenges, and the effectiveness of online marketing tools like seo, sem,ppc and more has not been measured. Further, this paper allows researchers to study by examining the pattern of publications by seeing the different authorships, co-authors, collaborations, relevant sources, and citations. The insights of this paper will help education policymakers devise more creative strategies to increase enrollment, ensuring sustained relevance and competitive advantage in higher education institutions .

Enhancing bibliographic reference parsing with contrastive learning and prompt learning

Bibliographic references, typically comprising author names, journal titles, paper titles, and publication dates, play a vital role in academic research. Accurately identifying these structured pieces of information from references is a crucial step in developing intelligent bibliographic management systems. However, existing methods often rely on extensive high-quality training data. To mitigate the reliance on extensive training data, we propose a method that integrates prompt learning and contrastive learning for extracting structured information from bibliographic references, named CONT_Prompt_ParseRef. This approach aims to utilize contrastive learning to deepen the understanding of different metadata label types and employ prompt learning to provide specific guidelines for processing and recognition. We constructed a dataset comprising 12,000 samples, available in both Chinese and English versions. The experimental results on this bilingual dataset demonstrate the model's superior performance over existing techniques. Notably, CONT_Prompt_ParseRef shows remarkable robustness in low-resource environments, particularly in scenarios with limited training data, both contrastive and prompt learning play pivotal roles in label extraction from bibliographic references. The ablation study illustrates that omitting either component leads to a decline in performance, with contrastive learning being slightly more influential.

Rethinking the author name ambiguity problem and beyond: The case of the Chinese context

ABSTRACT The perennial problem of author name ambiguity has attracted increasing attention in the academic community. Drawing on the literature, this article first highlights the pervasiveness of the problem and discusses its adverse consequences. It then analyzes the behavioral causes of the problem in the Chinese context and attributes them to personal, cultural, and institutional factors. Informed by this analysis and recognizing ORCID as a promising solution, we propose an ORCID-based “Prevention plus Cure” campaign against author name ambiguity. The prevention objective relies on researchers’ consistent use of ORCID, while the cure objective involves retrospectively integrating ORCIDs into backfile publications. We also outline the responsibilities of various stakeholders to ensure the success of the campaign. Furthermore, we argue that universal adoption of ORCID can help curb authorship-related misconduct, discern predatory journals and publishers, and track researchers’ undesirable records of academic publishing. We then analyze the current status of ORCID adoption in China, identify potential challenges, propose tentative solutions to address them, and highlight ORCID as a tool that can be utilized to empower China’s combat against research misconduct. In conclusion, we emphasize the importance of conducting empirical research to inform more effective promotion of ORCID adoption in China.

Gender equity in The Journal of the American Dental Association: A review of the past 2 plus decades

BackgroundConsidering evidence of closing the gender gap in dental scholarship, this study assessed women’s participation as authors, reviewers, and members of the editorial board for The Journal of the American Dental Association (JADA) from 2000 through 2022. MethodsThe study authors downloaded author names from PubMed and retrieved names of reviewers and editorial board members from JADA's pages. The authors used Gender-API software to determine gender on the basis of first names. They used logistic regression to test for trends. ResultsFrom January 2000 through December 2022, there were 2,935 full-length articles, 2,775 reviewers, 4 editors in chief, and 85 editorial board members. The percentage of women authors increased by 1.2% annually (95% CI, 1.03% to 1.33%), reaching 47% in 2022. First authorship increased by 2.1% annually (95% CI, 1.84% to 2.39%) and has been at more than 50% since 2016. In articles with multiple authors, there was a modest increase; second authorship increased 0.7% annually (95% CI, 0.36% to 1.09%) and last authorship by 0.7% (95% CI, 0.03% to 1.00%). Women reviewers increased 0.8% annually (95% CI, 0.68% to 0.97%), but the percentage of women on the editorial board did not increase significantly and was 41% in 2022. ConclusionsIt was anticipated that 50% of JADA authors would be women by 2024. However, women are still underrepresented on the editorial board. A comprehensive effort is needed to foster role models, provide mentorship opportunities for women, and support women’s professional advancement in dental research and publications. Practical ImplicationsGender-based disparities affect women in dental education and clinical practice. Serving as an editorial board member, reviewer, or author can affect academic promotion and the type of scientific investigation being conducted and indirectly affects women’s health outcomes.

Evaluation of the effectiveness of mother milk exosomes in the experimental corrosive esophagitis model.

We aimed to examine the effectiveness of mother milk exosomes in treating corrosive esophageal burns. 32 rats were separated into four equal groups and weighed individually before the procedure. A corrosive esophageal burn model was created with 12.5% sodium hydroxide by a 3F Fogarty catheter. Group 1 did not apply any process or treatment, Group 2 was burned, and no treatment was performed. Group 3 was burned, and then 0.5cc/day of mother milk exosome extract was given. Group 4 was not applied any process, and 0.5cc/day mother milk exosome extract was given. All rats were weighed again and sacrificed. Biopsy samples were sent to the pathology laboratory for histopathological examination (in terms of inflammation, fibrosis, and necrosis).Kindly check and confrm all email ids.The e-mail addresses and affiliation of all authors were checked. Affiliation departments are as stated on the title page. There is no change. A significant difference was found in the results of inflammation and fibrosis. There was a meaningful difference in fibrosis between the 2nd and 3rd groups. There was weight gain in groups 1, 3 and 4. Statistical evaluations for each group were significant. It was observed that breast milk exosomes may be effective in inflammation and fibrosis formation in treating corrosive esophageal burns. This suggested that breast milk exosomes reduce stricture formation due to esophageal corrosion.Please confirm if the author names are presented accurately and in the correct sequence (given name, middle name/initial, family name).

Global Stem Cell Research in Orthopaedics: A Bibliometric Study from 1995 to 2020.

The research field of stem cell-based therapies in orthopaedics has witnessed significant growth in the recent past. We aimed to identify and analyze the bibliometric characteristics of the global highly cited papers (HCPs) in stem cell research in orthopaedics. This study relied on secondary data extracted from Scopus, Elsevier's abstract and citation database. An advanced search string was employed, for the period from 1995 to 2020. For each paper, the extracted information included the number of citations, title, authors (name, number, authorship position, and country), year of publication, title of the journals, study design, and thematic field. The VOSviewer (1.6.20) was used to uncover relationships between authors, institutions, keywords, and publications. There were a total of 1427 publications and out of these 186 papers had 100 or more citations (range 100-2644) and were considered as HCPs. The average citation per paper (CPP) was 265.8. Only 4% of the top HCPs contributed 20% of the total citations of all HCPs. All the HCPs were published from high-income countries, and the USA was the leading country in all aspects of publication on stem cell research. Méndez-Ferrer S registered the highest citation (n = 2644), Prockop DJ was the most prolific author (n = 8 papers), and Harvard Medical School, USA emerged as the most prolific organization with 12 HCPs. Global research in stem cell therapies for orthopaedic problems is making strides, and is an emerging field of research. Stem cell research offers the potential for improved treatment outcomes for various musculoskeletal conditions.

CHILDREN'S LITERATURE IN SOUTHERN VIETNAM PERIOD 1954 - 1975 IN TUỔI NGỌC MAGAZINE

Before 1975, in southern cities, there were many publishing houses that printed publications for children. Besides those individual publications, there are also newspapers that always accompany young readers. It can be said that Tuổi Ngọc weekly magazine was a spiritual gift that writers who love children gave to young readers at that time. Under the accompaniment of Duyên Anh and Vũ Mộng Long (From now on, depending on the author's name when printed with the same work, we will sometimes write it as Duyen Anh or Vu Mong Long), Đinh Tiến Luyện, Từ Kế Tường, Hoàng Hải Thuỷ, Mường Mán, and many other authors have brought children's readers good and valuable works. This weekly newspaper operated for nearly 6 years and then ceased publication. During that period of operation, the newspaper contributed for the country's literature in general and children's literature in particular, especially in the southern urban area, with typical author faces and works of immense value, not only in terms of genre but also in content value such as educational and entertainment value. The weekly newspaper always receives love from young readers and trust from their parents.

Network Analysis of the North American Skull Base Society Membership.

Background The membership of the North American Skull Base Society (NASBS) has grown considerably in recent years with diversity in subspecialty training, gender, and geography. The academic relationships and contributions of its membership have not been studied. Objectives This study aimed to (1) measure academic contributions of NASBS membership; (2) identify influential nodes of academic collaboration; (3) identify opportunities for future collaboration and mentorship. Methods Peer-reviewed publications of members of NASBS (2019 NASBS website) were identified using Scopus author name search. Network structures were constructed and analyzed using the graph-tool python library to produce a weighted coauthorship network and compute centrality measures. Visual network maps were then produced using Gephi network visualization software. Results The coauthor network contained 952 members with found publications and 4,996 connections. A total of 846 (88.9%) members were contained in a single connected giant component; 102 members were unconnected, and 64 members had a single connection. Girvan-Newman clustering identified 267 communities, where 13 contained at least 1% of the total membership each. The three largest communities contained 23.3, 8.4, and 6.9% of members. There were 111 published members identified as women; 5.4% of women were unconnected versus 11.4% of men. Average publication count for women was 32.3 (standard deviation [SD] 38.5) versus 70.5 (SD 106) for men. Average citation count for women was 543 (SD 1,012) versus 1,389 (SD 2,893) for men. Conclusion Network mapping of membership of the NASBS helps to visualize the academic activities and relationships of the NASBS and reveals areas of concentration and influence within the specialty.
