Snowiness as a factor for assessing the avalanche activity in poorly explored mountainous areas (on the example of the Baikal region)
Authors: Gulevich V. P. , Manziy D. D.
Published: April 2021

The relevance of the study of snowiness in the Baikal region is due to the long-term existence of a stable snow cover, which determines the development of such dangerous natural phenomena as snow runup, snow loads, snow flows and avalanches, which can cause a serious damage to the infrastructure facil up, snow loads, snow flows and avalanches, which can cause a serious damage to the infrastructure facilities. The problem is aggravated by the lack of comprehensive studies of nival phenomena, which are not taken into account in the construction of such important industrial facilities as railway bridges, power lines, railways and highways. The purpose of the article is to assess the risks of unfavorable and dangerous phenomena of a nival nature in the Baikal region, as well as to develop methods of protection against them. The results of observations are presented. The total amount of precipitation was determined. The dynamics of snowfall indicators as indicators of the avalanche formation regime in the mountains of the Baikal region was carried out. The chronology of winters with different snowfall indicators was reconstructed. The amount of precipitation in the cold period was taken as a basic indicator. A scheme for assessing snowiness for poorly studied areas was developed. The calculation of values of the spatial correlation of snowfall indicators was carried out, which made it possible to identify areas with synchronous fluctuations in the amount of precipitation of the cold season for many years. It was established that dependences of the snow cover height and snow reserves on the terrain height remained unchanged. The dependences of snow cover indicators on different factors were identified.
Assessment of professional risks for employees of the foundry of the "Production company" LLC (Irkutsk)
Authors: Maksimova M. A.
Published: April 2021

Based on the analysis of regulatory documents on risk management, the choice of methods for assessing professional risks for workers in the foundry of a heavy industry plant was justified. The FineKinney and Matrix methods as the most simple to use, but effective and widely used were chosen, and the professional risks for the main professions of the foundry workers were assessed. The article aims to study the influence of the complex impact of harmful and hazardous production factors of foundries on the level of occupational risk for employees of structural divisions and enterprises of the metallurgical industry using the example of LLC Production Company, Irkutsk. It was shown that the Fine-Kinney method can be considered a reliable tool for making management decisions. The matrix method gives a clear qualitative picture. The probabilities of occupational risks associated with the technological process were determined. They can be reduced by taking measures aimed to improve working conditions even for one hazard source. Recommendations for improving the working conditions of the foundry workers were provided: modern equipment taking into account BAT, advanced PPE, air spraying, gas cleaning units and an improved ventilation system. These measures can significantly reduce the level of professional risk of employees.
Multi-stage magma evolution recorded by apatite and zircon of adakite-like rocks: A case study from the Shatanjiao intrusion, Tongling region, Eastern China
Authors: Cao Jingya , Li Huan , Yang Xiaoyong , Tamehe Landry Soh , Esmaeili Rasoul
Published: April 2021

The Shatanjiao pluton, located in the eastern Tongling region (Eastern China), is of great research significance for the study of magma evolutionary processes because this pluton is related to the regional Cu-Au mineralization. Zircon U-Pb dating on two granodiorite samples from this pluton yields ages of 141.9 ± 3.1 Ma (MSWD = 0.07) and 141.9 ± 3.3 Ma (MSWD = 0.03), respectively, which overlap the range of intense Late Jurassic to Early Cretaceous magmatism in the Tongling region. Based on the Sr content of apatite from the Shatanjiao granodiorites, they are subdivided into high-Sr apatite (apatite-I: 754–1242 ppm, mean = 1107 ppm) and low-Sr apatite (apatite-II: 415–613 ppm, mean = 507 ppm). Both apatite-I and apatite-II are characterized by high-Sr and -Sr/Y ratios and inconspicuous negative-Eu anomalies, indicating that these granodiorites have a likely adakite affinity. Considering their low-Rb contents (<0.05 ppm), in situ Sr isotopes of these apatite grains show 87Sr/86Sr ratios of 0.70848–0.71494 and 0.70767–0.71585 for apatite-I and apatite-II, respectively, indicating that the 87Sr/86Sr ratios of both apatite groups can represent the Sr isotopic compositions of their host rocks. Moreover, the La/Sm and Sr/Th ratios of both apatite groups suggest that the studied granodiorites might be sourced from the partial melting of subducted ocean slabs and overlying sediments. Based on their zircon trace element compositions, the calculated temperature and oxygen fugacity for the magma are characterized by high temperatures (mean T = 646 °C) and high oxygen fugacity (mean Ce4+/Ce3+ ratios = 341). On the basis of MgO, FeO, SiO2, and ΣREE contents of apatite, we further suggest that apatite-I and apatite-II might have crystallized at the early and late stages of magma evolution, respectively. Because apatite-I has much higher Eu/Eu* ratios (0.56–0.76) but lower (La/Yb)N ratios (7.85–28.6) than apatite-II of 0.39–0.58 and 95.9–132, respectively, it is indicated that plagioclase, garnet, hornblende, and zircon might control the trace element composition of melt during the magma evolutionary history, which were recorded by the apatite. Therefore, apatite can be an ideal tracer to reflect the sequence of multistage magma evolution.
Antecedents of the service quality for housing loan customers of Indian banks
Authors: Babu Mani Shankar , Ekambaram Viswanathan
Published: April 2021

The purpose of this paper is to explore the influence of the cost of borrowing, processing time and documentation on the service quality of banking institutions in India that sanction housing loans. A research framework was designed to consider the independent variables influencing service quality by unearthing research gaps in the extant literature on housing loans. All research gaps were transformed into a questionnaire, to which 535 useful responses were received. A five-point Likert scale was used, and a structural equation model was formulated using ADANCO 2.0.1 – all hypotheses were tested with ADANCO. The findings clearly indicate the relevance of the service quality in banking sectors in India. There is a significant relationship between the three independent variables (cost of borrowing, processing time and documentation) and service quality. The outcome of banking service quality is measured through initial personal contact, online banking services, the humanitarian approach, provision of information for services, promise of service delivery and field verification, with all these measures having a very strong impact. This study is restricted to India only, but could be extended to other developing countries in South Asia in the future. This study could also be extended to cover other types of banking loans offered by banking institutions in India. The paper concludes that it is time for banking institutions to take action to sanction housing loans with a view to introducing the instant sanctioning of bank loans that come with real-time access, without resorting to bureaucratic policies and procedures for housing loan customers.

Published: April 2021

The comprehended knowledge of the metabolic profile of the fecal matter has been recognized as an important point for understanding metabolic changes in the human systemic metabolism and it can provide precious information about host-gut microbiota interactions. However, few analytical strategies have been addressed for a broad analysis of metabolites with different chemical properties to better understand the chemical space of fecal samples. Here we report a systematic pipeline to achieve comprehensive coverage of the fecal metabolome, from high polar to nonpolar metabolites, using dog fecal samples as a proof-of-concept. This pipeline comprises a monophasic (ACN/H2O) and a biphasic extraction (methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE)/MeOH/H2O) of the sample, followed by three liquid chromatography-high resolution tandem mass spectrometry (LC-HRMS/MS) methods using HILIC-amide, RP-C18 and CSH-C18 columns, and a switch polarity acquisition mode in the electrospray ion source. This approach allowed the annotation of 376 metabolites from 70 different chemical classes. The chemical space analysis by molecular networking and the pathway analysis revealed the complexity of the fecal sample and the importance of combined methods to better understand biochemical pathways. This pipeline can be used as a valuable tool to comprehend the relationship between host-gut microbiota metabolites and the influence of diet, medication, or environmental changes.

Published: April 2021

Desde finales del año 2019 un nuevo coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, se extendió desde China hacia el resto del mundo, causando la pandemia de una enfermedad denominada COVID-19. Una enfermedad sistémica que en algunos casos produce neumonía severa que incluso puede progresar a falla respiratoria aguda y finalmente la muerte. Entre las comorbilidades que se han asociado con un aumento en la mortalidad por SARS-CoV-2 se encuentra la diabetes. En general, se estima que tener diabetes aumenta un 18 % el riesgo de infecciones respiratorias, en parte por el impacto que genera sobre la inmunidad innata o adquirida, lo que estaría  contribuyendo a una presentación clínica más severa del SARS-CoV-2 al comparar con población sin diabetes. Considerando que existe una asociación entre mal control glucémico y mayor severidad clínica de la infección por COVID-19, se deben hacer importantes consideraciones sobre el manejo farmacológico brindado a los pacientes; el perfilamiento dependerá de las condiciones de cada paciente, de la severidad de la enfermedad y del tipo de manejo instaurado ya sea ambulatorio o intrahospitalario.

La enfermedad por coronavirus-2019 (COVID-19) es una enfermedad infecciosa cuya sintomatología inicial, en la mayoría de las ocasiones, se manifiesta con compromiso del tracto respiratorio. El virus que causa dicha enfermedad se denomina síndrome respiratorio agudo severo por coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV2). Si bien la manifestación grave más frecuente de la infección parece ser la neumonía, se han documentado diversas implicaciones cardiovasculares. Las personas que cursan con dicha infección y que tienen una enfermedad cardiovascular preexistente tienen un riesgo mayor de cuadros graves y mortalidad. Existen asociaciones directas o indirectas de la infección con injuria miocárdica, arritmias, enfermedad tromboembólica venosa y miocarditis. Los tratamientos en investigación pueden tener efectos adversos en el sistema eléctrico del corazón; además, algunos medicamentos de uso crónico (como los inhibidores del sistema renina angiotensina aldosterona) se les ha otorgado un polémico papel en la virulencia del microorganismo. La alta demanda en atención en salud que requieren los pacientes infectados por SARS-CoV 2 puede  comprometer la asistencia de pacientes cardiovasculares sin dicha infección y dejar en riesgo de exposición al personal sanitario. Se presenta una revisión sobre los aspectos más llamativos donde estas dos condiciones interaccionan.

Published: April 2021

The article presents a non-systematic literature review aimed at studying the efficacy and safety of using the technique of resection of secondary chords in ischaemic mitral insufficiency. The review includes studies comparing the use of an isolated undersized ring annuloplasty and undersized ring annuloplasty with chordal cutting. This study is an analysis of publications devoted to the surgical treatment of patients with ischaemic mitral insufficiency (type IIIb according to A. Carpentier classification). Intervention on the subvalvular structures was of interest, particularly the use of a chordal cutting technique in combination with undersized ring annuloplasty versus isolated undersized ring annuloplasty.The Patient Intervention Comparison Outcome (PICO) strategy was used to find articles. During the initial search, 72 articles were selected, of which 36 articles corresponded to the purpose of the search. After analysing the headings and abstracts, 14 articles were selected according to the inclusion criteria. Full-text copies were obtained for all of them. The review design included retrospective cohort studies. Articles in which the assessment of the effectiveness and safety of the technique was not the main topic of the study were excluded from the analysis. Samples of three articles were formed after reviewing and analysing the texts.The results of the study found that the implementation of the combined operation—undersized ring annuloplasty plus secondary chordal cutting—is significantly more effective in comparison with an isolated undersized ring annuloplasty.Received 28 July 2020.

The prevalence of congenital heart diseases is nine persons per 1000. Sometimes, congenital heart disease needs surgical correction. The long-term postoperative period is often associated with complex heart rhythm disturbances like ectopic or re-entry tachycardia. These cases, in combination with difficult anatomy, results in challenges during interventional treatment. Catheter ablation has been demonstrated as safe and effective in different types of arrhythmia treatments in such patients, including paediatric cohorts. Despite these facts, several important problems regarding using current technologies are still unresolved. Remote magnetic navigation showed good results regarding localisation of arrhythmogenic zones during treatment of complex heart rhythm disturbances. The objective of the present article is to review recently published data in this area and experience of Meshalkin National Medical Research Center in heart rhythm disturbances treatment using remote magnetic navigation in patients after surgical correction of congenital heart disease.

Aim. To compare the immediate results of treatment of patients after redo coronary artery bypass grafting (reCABG) off pump and with cardiopulmonary bypass.Methods. The retrospective study included 138 patients who underwent isolated reCABG for recurrence of angina pectoris in the period of 2013 to 2019 at the Almazov Research Centre. The operation was performed with cardiopulmonary bypass using isothermal blood cardioplegia in 74 cases (group A). Sixty-four operations were performed without cardiopulmonary bypass (group B). The primary endpoint was a major adverse cardiovascular event (e.g. myocardial infarction, acute cerebrovascular accident, cardiovascular death) during hospitalisation. Secondary endpoints were cardiovascular failure, respiratory failure, renal failure, and wound healing complications during hospitalisation.Results. Redo CABG with cardiopulmonary bypass compared with CABG off pump was more often complicated by cardiovascular failure (39.2% versus 20.3%, p = 0.043), respiratory failure (7.8% versus 2.7%, p = 0.047), and postpericardiotomy syndrome (13.5% versus 0%, p = 0.047). The revascularisation index was higher in the group of reCABG off pump (2.9) compared to the group of reCABG with cardiopulmonary bypass (2.4). In the early postoperative period there was a decrease in the duration of inpatient treatment and stay in the intensive care unit, the duration of surgery, as well as a lower incidence of postoperative complications in group B.Conclusion. Redo CABG showed satisfactory results in the early postoperative period. Performing reCABG off pump was advantageous and was associated with a decrease in the incidence of postoperative complications.

Authors: Safadi Diessyca Mello , Falbo Margarete Kimie , Sandini Itacir Eloi , Stremel Helton Felipe
Published: April 2021

The objective of this study was to evaluate serum hematological and biochemical changes in obese young dogs clinically healthy. Twenty-six animals were selected, which were separated into two groups: thirteen with normal weight and thirteen with obesity. Exclusion criteria were used for the selection of groups, age between one and eight years, physical evaluation, blood count, and a questionnaire to investigate pre-existing pathologies (diabetes mellitus, hypothyroidism, hyperadrenocorticism, hepatic and/or renal insufficiency, congenital or acquired heart disease, locomotor problems, inflammatory and/or infectious diseases or physiological conditions such as pregnancy or lactation). 5-mL blood samples were collected from each patient by puncture of the cephalic vein in the morning after a feeding restriction of 10 hours. Hematocrit, total erythrocyte count, hemoglobin concentration, total leukocyte count, leukocyte differential count and serum albumin, total protein, globulins, ALT, ALP, HDL cholesterol, total cholesterol, triglycerides, creatinine, urea, glucose, and insulin were assessed. No statistically significant differences were found between the groups in the hematological assessments. Among the biochemical tests, there were significant differences in total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, and glucose (p ≤ 0.05).

Published: April 2021

Patellar dislocation is one of the main osteoarticular diseases described in the surgical routine of pet animals, the treatment of which differs according to the degree of dislocation based on the clinical changes presented by each patient. The present report aims to describe the association of the femoral corrective osteotomy technique, total trochlear replacement of the knee by prosthetics, and tibial tuberosity transposition with a tool for correction of grade IV patellar dislocation in a 1.5-year-old German Spitz dog with femoral varus deviation and external tibial torsion. The treatment allowed the correction of femoral bone deformation, realignment of the quadriceps extensor mechanism, and permanent maintenance of the patella on the prosthetic trochlear sulcus with early functional return of the limb, absence of pain, and lameness.

Authors: S. Machado Isabella Barreto , Tofanelli Matheus Rampinelli , Saldanha da Silva Ariadna A. , Simões e Silva Ana Cristina
Published: April 2021

Background:

Arterial hypertension in children is considered a common alteration nowadays,
mainly because obesity is a growing worldwide problem closely related to increased blood
pressure. Childhood hypertension can be classified as primary or secondary, depending on the etiology.
Primary or essential hypertension still has its pathophysiology not fully elucidated, and there
is no consensus in the literature on most underlying mechanisms. In this review, genetic and environmental
factors, including sodium and potassium intake, socioeconomic status, ethnicity, family
structure, obesity, sedentary lifestyle, prematurity and low birth weight, prenatal and postnatal exposures
are highlighted.

Objective:

The present study aimed to perform an update on primary hypertension in childhood,
providing clinicians and researchers an overview of the current state of the literature regarding the
influence of genetic and environmental factors.

Methods:

This integrative review searched for articles on genetic and environmental factors related
to primary hypertension in pediatric patients. The databases evaluated were PubMed and Scopus.

Results:

The studies have provided insights regarding many genetic and environmental factors, in
addition to their association with the pathophysiology of primary hypertension in childhood. Findings
corroborated the idea that primary hypertension is a multifactorial disease. Further studies in
the pediatric population are needed to elucidate the underlying mechanisms.

Conclusion:

The study of primary hypertension in pediatrics has utmost importance for the adoption
of preventive measures and the development of more efficient treatments, therefore reducing
childhood morbidity and the incidence of cardiovascular diseases and other health consequences
later in life.
Diplomacia terrorista del Estado Islámico en Trinidad y Tobago
Authors: Niño César , Palma-Álvarez Daniel Arturo
Published: April 2021

A partir de una comprensión de la diplomacía y la política exterior más allá del enfoque estadocéntrico, la diplomacia terrorista se entiende como la conducción racional de los intereses internacionales de un grupo terrorista en función de sus objetivos estratégicos particulares. Así, este artículo estudia el caso de la radicalización musulmana en Trinidad y Tobago y el alto número de militantes de este país en el Estado Islámico. Con base en variables push and pull y en la teoría de la geometría del terrorismo, así como en la revisión de estudios precedentes, se determina que la represión y desconfianza del Gobierno hacia los musulmanes, así como la falta de gobernabilidad, más que los aspectos económicos, son factores que explican este fenómeno en el país insular.
