Florianópolis: debaixo da ponte, em cima do morro e no muro da rua: entre grafites e lugares à margem | Florianópolis: under the bridge, over the hill and on the wall: among graffiti and marginal places
Authors: Fiorin Evandro
Published: May 2021

Este artigo tem como objetivo contrapor-se às imagens de cartão postal de Florianópolis produzindo outra leitura da cidade através das histórias que podem ser recontadas por debaixo das pontes, em cima dos morros e nos muros das ruas, a partir dos signos que são deixados pelos grafites em alguns lugares à margem. Caminhando sobre a passarela e debaixo das pontes que ligam o continente à parte insular, subindo a pé o maciço do Morro da Cruz, até chegar à comunidade carente de Monte Serrat, no Morro do Antão, e percorrendo as áreas históricas do centro expandido, é possível desvelar cidades dentro da cidade, as quais foram sendo apagadas através dos tempos e que, agora, saltam aos olhos quando sofrem as interferências das linguagens da rua. É produto de um projeto de pesquisa que reforça o viés da percepção ambiental utilizando um instrumental que conduz para uma leitura dinâmica das narrativas urbanas. Tem como estratégia o caminhar como prática estética, de maneira a produzir novos olhares que se valem da fenomenologia e da semiótica apresentando, assim, como resultados das andanças, relatos de vivências e fotografias de contextos singulares que podem fazer-ver processos de renovação urbana em curso e as marcas esquecidas do passado, além de instigar outros modos de ver a cidade e os seus lugares.

Authors: Tavares Marcelo Ribeiro , Vaz Lilian Fessler , Matos Madalena Cunha
Published: May 2021

Com o reconhecimento de que entre esporte e cidade há uma relação de interdependência importante, o objetivo deste artigo é analisar a expansão da cidade do Rio de Janeiro em direção à costa, na qual Copacabana aparece como um bairro de referência para usos relacionados ao lazer, sobretudo para o vôlei, desde os anos 1920 até sediar a arena olímpica em 2016. Através de pesquisa documental sobre a história do bairro, do esporte e das inúmeras transformações urbanas pelas quais o lugar passou, verifica-se que o vôlei assegura lugar importante na consolidação do espaço da orla. Conclui-se que, do esporte praticado cotidianamente aos eventos regulares de âmbito internacional, a praia de Copacabana tornou-se referência para a prática de vôlei e para o fortalecimento de sociabilidades tipicamente praianas.

Production planning is one of the most important administrative decisions a company can make, as it involves achieving the lead times set by the customers while taking advantage of the resources the organization has. Over time, different strategies using mathematical models have been implemented in production planning, aimed at finding the best solution for optimizing the available resources. In recent years companies throughout the world have successfullly implemented Lean Manufacturing, aimed at improving their production processes and eliminating everything that does not add value to the product. This article exemplifies a new strategy for production planning, using basic concepts from Lean Manufacturing and mixed integer linear programming models by stages. We took a women’s footwear factory in the city of León, Guanajuato, México, as a case study. The results show that it is possible to get planning that optimizes the organization’s resources and shortens the products’ lead times by shrinking inventories, from a Lean Manufacturing perspective.

Background

The prevalence of chronic diseases in the elderly is high, and some use herbal medicines instead of, or together with, conventional medicine. Herbal medicine usage may cause adverse events.

Objectives

To determine the prevalence of herbal medicine usage among the elderly attending a primary care unit (PCU) of Songklanagarind Hospital, a tertiary teaching hospital in Hat Yai, Songkhla province, Thailand, and associated factors, reasons for use, principles considered before use, perceived effects, and history of consultation with medical professionals concerning their herbal medicine usage.

Methods

We conducted a cross-sectional survey of a convenience sample of elderly patients who visited the PCU. Questionnaires were used to obtain data.

Results

We included 204 patients who met the eligibility criteria. About two-thirds were women, with a median age of 69.0 years. Most had underlying diseases and were educated. The all time prevalence of herbal medicine usage was 60.8%. Being educated was significantly associated with herbal medicine usage. Among 124 users, 79% did not consider any principles for safe use of herbal medicine, 63% had no knowledge of possible interactions with conventional medicines, and 73% had never been asked about their use of herbal medicines by their health care professionals.

Conclusions

There is a high prevalence of herbal medicine usage among the elderly Thai patients attending the PCU, especially by the educated. The majority did not consider the principles for safe use of herbal medicine. Health care providers should be more aware of herbal medicine usage and should increase their role in initiating a discussion about herbal medicine usage with elderly patients.
Differentiating retirement age to compensate for health differences
Authors: Vandenberghe Vincent
Published: May 2021

Population aging in Europe calls for an overall rise in the age of retirement. However, most observers agree that the latter should be differentiated to account for different individuals’ heterogeneous health when they grow older. This paper explores the relevance of this idea using the European Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe (SHARE) panel data. It first quantifies the health gradient across and within each of the European countries across sociodemographic groups (i.e., Gender × Education) at typical retirement age. It then estimates the degree of retirement age differentiation that would be needed to equalize expected health at the moment of retirement. Results point at the need for a very high degree of differentiation to equalize expected health, both across and within, European countries. But the paper also shows that systematic retirement age differentiation would fail to match a significant portion of the full distribution of health status. In a world synonymous with systematic health-based retirement age differentiation, there would still be a lot of what health economists call F-mistakes ([F]ailure of treatment, i.e., no retirement for people in poor health) and E-mistakes ([E]xcessive treatment, i.e., people in good health going for retirement).
The Mosaics of National Identity in the Arab American Diaspora: Exploring Long-Distance Nationalism in Diana Abu-Jaber’s Crescent
Authors: Berrebbah Ishak
Published: May 2021

Carol Fadda-Conrey (2014) points out that Arab American literature emerged remarkably in the early years of the 21st century, accompanying various political events and turmoil in either the USA or the Arab world, particularly the Middle East. One of the key aspects of this ethnic literature is the manifestation of the Arab national identity and the call for unity and solidarity among kin Arab communities, whether locally or across borders. This paper, as such, by taking Diana Abu-Jaber’s novel Crescent (2003) as an example of the Arab American fiction produced in the contemporary era, examines the components of nationalism as expressed from afar – long-distance nationalism. This type of national propensity has received little attention in contemporary literary studies. In addition to using critical and analytical approaches to the novel, this paper basically relies on a socioconceptual framework based on the perspectives of prominent theorists and critics, such as Carol Fadda-Conrey, Nina Glick Shiller, Gabriella Elgenius, and Tololyan Khachig, to name a few.

Background

Breast intraoperative electron radiation therapy (B-IOERT) can be used in clinical practice both as elective irradiation (partial breast irradiation – APBI) in low risk breast cancer patients, and as an anticipated boost. The procedure generally includes the use of a shielding disk between the residual breast and the pectoralis fascia for the protection of the tissues underneath the target volume. The aim of the study was to evaluate the role of intraoperative ultrasound (IOUS) in improving the quality of B-IOERT.

Patients and methods

B-IOERT was introduced in Trieste in 2012 and its technique was improved in 2014 with IOUS. Both, needle and IOUS were used to measure target thickness and the latter was used even to check the correct position of the shielding disk. The primary endpoint of the study was the evaluation of the effectiveness of IOUS in reducing the risk of a disk misalignment related to B-IOERT and the secondary endpoint was the analysis of acute and late toxicity, by comparing two groups of patients treated with IOERT as a boost, either measured with IOUS and needle (Group 1) or with needle alone (Group 2). Acute and late toxicity were evaluated by validated scoring systems.

Results

From the institutional patients who were treated between June 2012 and October 2019, 109 were eligible for this study (corresponding to 110 cases, as one patients underwent bilateral conservative surgery and bilateral B-IOERT). Of these, 38 were allocated to group 1 and 72 to group 2. The target thickness measured with the IOUS probe and with the needle were similar (mean difference of 0.1 mm, p = 0.38). The percentage of patients in which the shield was perfectly aligned after IOUS introduction increased from 23% to more than 70%. Moreover, patients treated after IOUS guidance had less acute toxicity (36.8% vs. 48.6%, p = 0.33) from radiation therapy, which reached no statistical significance. Late toxicity turned out to be similar regardless of the use of IOUS guidance: 39.5% vs. 37.5% (p = 0.99).

Conclusions

IOUS showed to be accurate in measuring the target depth and decrease the misalignment between collimator and disk. Furthermore there was an absolute decrease in acute toxicity, even though not statistically significant, in the group of women who underwent B-IOERT with IOUS guidance.

Построение городской транспортной системы на базе интеллектуальных технологий
Authors:   Волкова Е. М., Колесова В. М.
Published: May 2021

На сегодняшний день актуальны проблемы взаимодействия видов пассажирского транспорта в крупных городах. Концентрация населения в мегаполисах и высокие темпы автомобилизации приводят к нерациональному распределению пассажиропотоков по видам транспорта, неэффективному использованию ресурсов транспортного комплекса, значительным потерям времени в пути. Решение перечисленных проблем должно быть комплексным. В первую очередь оно предполагает кооперацию субъектов рынка транспортных услуг по собственной инициативе, то есть формирование «бесшовной» городской транспортной системы. С дру¬гой стороны, резервы повышения эффективности использования ограниченных ресурсов кроются в применении цифровых технологий. В статье показаны результаты применения алгоритма «умного» дорожного регулирования на выбранном объекте транспортной инфраструктуры. Данные результаты получены в ходе экс-перимента в среде имитационного моделирования Anylogic. По итогам исследования обозначены перспективы применения цифровых технологий в городских транспортных системах и поставлен вопрос о сложности экономической оценки эффектов, генерируемых подобными проектами.

Правовое содержание независимой гарантии как способа обеспечения обязательств на рынке публичных торгов
Authors: Белобородов М. В.
Published: May 2021

Статья посвящена рассмотрению правового статуса независимой гарантии, являющейся способом обеспечения добросовестности исполнения кон-трактных обязательств, на рынке государственных (муниципальных) торгов и на рынке корпоративных закупок, а также анализу практики рассмотрения споров при исполнении контрактов. В этой связи следует отметить, что на этапе современного развития государства именно независимая гарантия (ранее она называлась банковская) является эффективным инструментом защиты интересов заказчика от поведения недобросовестного исполнителя контракта. Сущность независимой гарантии заключается в том, что она выступает в качестве некой «подушки безопасности» для заказчика в сфере закупок товаров, работ и услуг. Указанный правовой механизм впервые появился в законе № 94-ФЗ «О размещении заказов на поставки товаров, выполнение работ, оказание услуг для государственных и муниципальных нужд» и в дальнейшем благополучно перешёл на торги в контрактной системе и в сфере закупок для нужд госкорпораций и предприятий-субъектов естественных монополий. Поэтому он показал свою эффективность в качестве надёжного способа обеспечения обязательств. Однако приходится признать, что встречаются случаи злоупотребления со стороны недобросовестных поставщиков (исполнителей, подрядчиков) – как при предъявлении недействительных документов (что приводит к дискриминации данного механизма и снижению уровня защищенности заказчика на рынке публичных торгов), так и в практике освобождения от ответственности при рассмотрении споров в арбитражных судах. В статье на основе анализа законодательства и примерах судебной практики делается вывод о необходимости усиления гражданско-правовой ответственности недобросовестных исполнителей кон-трактов, а также законодательного закрепления дополнительных оснований проверки достоверных документов.
Ключевые слова: независимая гарантия, банковская гарантия, защита интересов заказчика, недобросовестный участник торгов, контракт, злоупотребление гражданскими правами, нормативно-правовое регулирование, принципал, гарант, бенефициар.

Aprendiendo a contar desde cero: Un camino necesario para la sostenibilidad de la actividad cafetalera
Authors: Picado Vanegas Armando
Published: May 2021

El contexto actual de la producción cafetalera no es muy alentador, está obligando a mejorar los procesos que deben optimizarse, innovando continuamente para adaptarse a las dinámicas del mercado. La decisión de plantar es el punto de partida para llegar a la decisión de producir. Existe propensión a menospreciar la importancia que tienen las etapas básicas donde se decide establecer una plantación, sin tener en cuenta que ahí está la clave del futuro éxito, o del fracaso. Igualmente, se mantiene una tendencia a no contabilizar la inversión inicial, cuyo riesgo es mayor si no se tienen en cuenta variables como el material genético (variedad), la calidad de semillas y su adaptabilidad, las pérdidas por factores ambientales, patogénicos y fisiológicos. Esta fase es determinante, los productores deben decidir compartir la responsabilidad de producir eficientemente para llevar su café hasta un consumidor que exige calidad, sustentabilidad e impacto social.

Šī raksta saturs ir balstīts uz pašas autores sākotnējiem pētījumiem. Pētījumā tika iegūti empīriski pārbaudīti argumenti, ka, ieviešot viendzimuma partnerattiecību likumu, var pasliktināties attieksme pret gejiem un lesbietēm. Lai pārliecinātos par viendzimuma partnerattiecību likuma ieviešanas ilgtermiņa ietekmi uz homofobiju, ir nepieciešams turpināt pētījumus vairākos virzienos. Līdz divdesmit pirmā gadsimta sākumam notika pilngadīgo viendzimuma seksuālo darbību dekriminalizācija, kļūstot tiesību normu, kuru iniciēja Eiropas Savienība, kā arī Eiropas Padome. Tomēr lesbiešu un geju tiesiskajās attiecībās joprojām ir dažas problemātiskas jomas, tostarp viendzimuma pāru atzīšana un viņu kā vecāku tiesības, dibinot ģimeni.

In a more global context, it is known that individuals sometimes migrate in order to escape prejudice and discrimination in their country of origin by moving to a more tolerant host country where they can engage in sexual behaviour more freely. Nevertheless, there is almost no research on the consequences of immigration for LGBT people (Carrillo, 2004). Cases of homophobic assault or sexual harassment can take form of physical abuse, verbal or public, and not just public. The author has concluded that if there has been no physical contact in the case of homophobic attacks, no liability for such offenses can be found under criminal law. Analysing the responsibility for hooliganism, it can be concluded that the commission of a criminal offense in a public place does not in itself mean that the crime should be classified as hooliganism, and no other person’s interests were harmed and no serious disturbance of public peace was found. In order to be prosecuted in the case of homophobic assault or sexual harassment, the interests of other persons (society) must be harmed.
Barriers to Optimal Iron Supplementation by Pregnant Women Attending the Mutare City Clinic, Manicaland, Zimbabwe
Authors: Mahundi Plaxcedia , Pillay Kirthee , Wiles Nicola
Published: May 2021

The optimal use of iron supplements by pregnant women is important in ensuring healthy pregnancy outcomes. However, some barriers may prevent the optimal use of iron supplements by pregnant women in developing countries, subsequently resulting in iron deficiency anaemia, threatening the health of the pregnant woman and the fetus. This study aimed to identify possible barriers to optimal iron supplementation among pregnant women and possible strategies for alleviating these barriers. This cross-sectional study was conducted at the Mutare City Clinic in Manicaland, Zimbabwe. A total of 64 Black African pregnant women aged between 17 and 39 years participated in 8 focus group discussions. The pregnant women identified several barriers to the optimal use of iron supplements. The major barriers were poor compliance mainly due to erratic supplies of iron supplements at the healthcare centre, inadequate nutrition education on the benefits of iron supplements, side effects, and religious and cultural beliefs. Poverty and the influence of family members were other barriers. Most pregnant women were accustomed to receiving iron supplements free of charge from the healthcare centres and could not afford to buy them from private pharmacies. Despite erratic supplies at healthcare centres, continuous reinforcement of positive iron supplementation could motivate pregnant women to take iron supplements. Intensive nutrition education programmes may help to improve perceptions of women towards iron supplements. This could possibly help to overcome barriers to optimal iron supplementation, and thus reduce the prevalence of iron deficiency anaemia among pregnant women in Zimbabwe.
Bashkortostan in the Life of Tatyana Troitskaya: New Additions to Her Biography and Scientific Activity
Authors: Akhatov Albert T.
Published: May 2021

Purpose. The publication is dedicated to the famous teacher and scientist-archeologist Tatyana Nikolaevna Troitskaya (1925–2018). The purpose of this work is to supplement her biography with information relating to lesser-known periods of her life and work in the Bashkortostan Republic following on from unpublished archival documents and memoirs of T. N. Troitskaya.
Results. Analysis of the available sources and literature made it possible to study the time and circumstances of Tatyana Nikolaevna’s stay in the Republic of Bashkortostan. In 1941, it was the first time she was in Birsk, where she was evacuated to with her family after the beginning of the Great Patriotic War. There T. N. Troitskaya finished school and was accepted into the Birsk Pedagogical Institute, where she studied for a year and a half before re-evacuation in 1943.
The second time she came to Ufa was in 1955 when she was sent to the Institute of History, Language and Literature, where she worked until 1956. T. N. Troitskaya’s research activities coincided with the beginning of systematic archaeological research in the region, making her involved in the formation of academic archaeological science in the Bashkortostan Republic. In 1955, Tatyana Nikolaevna took part in the excavations carried out by the Bashkir archaeological expedition on the territory of the Gafuri region of the Bashkortostan Republic. In the course of fieldwork, several monuments of the Kara-Abyz culture were studied there, one of which, the Mikhailovskoye settlement, was studied under the guidance of T. N. Troitskaya. The materials and results of excavations of this monument are still used by scientists studying cultural genesis and ethnic processes in the Southern Urals and in the Urals in the early Iron Age.
Conclusion. Despite the fact that T. N. Troitskaya lived in Bashkortostan for a short period of her life, this time as a whole was of great importance for her life experience. Tatyana Nikolaevna herself later recalled that it was in Birsk that she realized herself as a future teacher, and in Ufa she came to understand the priority for her teaching activity over research.

Published: May 2021

Archaeological sites indicate the assimilation of the Lower Ob region by humans during the Upper Paleolithic. Modern paleogeography reconstructions testify to the possibility of settlement in this area from the MIS 3, however all stone assemblages found in situ were dated to the end of the Upper Paleolithic - the end of MIS 2.
Purpose. Analyze the relationships of Lower Ob Paleolithic sites with the Upper Paleolithic industries in the adjacent area.
Results. Over the past three years, several new sites of Paleolithic age have been discovered in the Lower Ob region. The comparison of their materials with the assemblage from the Lugovskoye site allow to speak about two industries: bladelet complex (Lugovskoye, Komudvany) and another complex, conventionally called ‘pebble’ (Gorki III, Khashgort, Yugan-Gort IV), represented in the Lower Ob region in the Late Paleolithic. Comparison between the Lugovskoye assemblage and Talitsky, Shestakovo assemblages testifies their relationship. Radiocarbon dating of these sites (Shestakovo (cultural layer 6): 24 000–20 000 years ago, Talitsky: 18 700 ± 200 years ago, Lugovskoye: 13 500–9 400 years ago; all dates are not calibrated) allow the assumption of successful Paleolithic migration from the south-east of the West Siberian Plain to the Urals and then to the Lower Ob region.
Conclusion. The Lower Ob region was part of a historical and cultural area of bladelet industries in MIS 2. Lugovskoye and Komudvany sites can be attributed to the Uralic Late Paleolithic culture, which testifies in favor of the assumption of assimilation on this territory from the Ural region in MIS 2. Two kinds of Paleolithic assemblages in the Lower Ob region allow us to speak about two coexisting culture or the functional differences of archeological sites or two waves of assimilation on this territory – early (pebble industry) and late (bladelet industry). Most likely, the ‘pebble’ industries came to this territory from the Ural region too.

Authors: Mzhelskaya Tatiana V. , Durakov Igor A.
Published: May 2021

Purpose. Having emerged about a hundred years ago, the correspondence form of higher education in our country has not yet lost its relevance. This form of education implies that students must largely learn on their own. However, it should be noted that there are professions, including teachers, where the role of a University teacher in the formation of a future specialist is great. The purpose of this article is to show the prospects of implementing interactive methods in the learning process of part-time students based on the example of teaching archeology.
Results. The need to teach archeology as a science for future teachers is determined by the specific character of studying material sources, which implies certain requirements for the methodology of teaching such material in school. Therefore, it is necessary to acquaint future teachers with the features of archeology for further successful teaching at school, conducting educational activities, in the classroom with part-time students using DCTTRW (the development of critical thinking through reading and writing) technology. We should particularly note the work with students of the archaeological department of the Multidisciplinary Museum of NSPU.
Conclusion. The experience of using interactive methods in the process of teaching archeology to part-time students at the pedagogical university has shown their high potential. Students receive an opportunity to learn particular technologies and training techniques, gain experience in their use. Interactive technologies contribute to the formation of two groups of competencies for part-time students: research and communication.

Objetivo: Relacionar a ocorrência de cardiomiopatia de Takotsubo e complicações associadas em pacientes infectados pela COVID-19 no contexto pandêmico atual. Métodos: Trata-se é uma revisão da literatura atual e foram incluídos 22 artigos da plataforma PUBMED, utilizando os seguintes descritores: ”Takotsubo cardiomyopathy”, “Coronavirus infections” e “Heart diseases”. Resultados: Os mais recentes estudos evidenciam um aumento do número de casos novos da cardiomiopatia de Takotsubo desde que a pandemia do COVID-19 alastrou-se pelo mundo, quando foi observado o aumento de 5.95% de casos da doença em relação a períodos anteriores. A predileção cardíaca do vírus se mostra parcialmente elucidada pela associação entre a lesão endotelial e a invasão viral, sendo assim, capaz de deflagrar patologias cardíacas. Ademais, os efeitos psicológicos causados pelo isolamento social, crise sanitária e financeira também exerceram forte influência sobre o desencadeamento da cardiomiopatia. Considerações finais: Deste modo, a doença causada pelo SARS-CoV 2 associa-se à complicações como a cardiomiopatia de Takotsubo que, por sua vez, implica em aumento da taxa de mortalidade. Por conseguinte, evidencia-se a necessidade de diagnosticá-la precocemente, em especial, em pacientes de alto risco, a fim de melhorar os desfechos clínicos e reduzir o período de internação.

As burnout is an issue facing our profession, developing and nurturing a greater purpose which promotes a sense of gratitude and purpose in medicine is important for physician wellness and resilience.  We often develop our sense of purpose through the internalization of values and ideas of people we have met in life.  Mentors play an important role in helping us realize and develop our skills and talents, which may not have been readily apparent to us.
In this essay, I, as a physician pursuing dermatology, describe my experiences and what I’ve learned from inspirational teachers and mentors in my education and training that helped me realize the gifts and talents I have to offer the world as a dermatologist.  Then, my mentors describe how a specific experience or hobby has helped them develop a greater sense of purpose and gratitude in their careers.  These are a few of the infinite possibilities which can nurture a sense of gratitude and purpose in our lives, and our goal is for others to reflect on and to expand on these possibilities and share them with colleagues.
Implementation of Educational Videos in Mohs Micrographic Surgery for Improved Patient Satisfaction and Comprehension
Authors: Jimenez Antonio Roberto , Gleghorn Kristyna , Wagner Richard
Published: May 2021

Background: Patients are reported to understand less than half of the information communicated to them by physicians. In an effort to better promote patient education, instructional videos have been implemented in surgical specialties, with demonstrable improvement in patient satisfaction and knowledge. In Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS), Mohs surgeons have begun to implement educational videos to supplement the traditional informed consent discussion and wound care demonstration. 
Objective: To review published literature to determine if video education in MMS can improve patient satisfaction and comprehension of their procedure.
Methods: A review of literature was performed using the PubMed database from 2000 to 2020. The articles selected focused on the implementation of educational videos in Mohs surgery for the improvement of the informed consent process, post-surgical wound care instructions, and overall patient satisfaction and comprehension.
Results: A total of seven articles met the criteria for review. The videos were noted to improve certain aspects of the informed consent discussion, including patients knowledge on the procedural risks. In regard to wound care education, some patients preferred video education to surgeon instruction. While patient comprehension was similar between the intervention and control groups, most studies demonstrated overall patient satisfaction. In addition, the results noted that most patients who watched a video would recommend it to a peer undergoing MMS.
Conclusion: Educational videos have demonstrated promise for patient education in MMS and patients are receptive to learn from them.

Published: May 2021

Bullous pemphigoid (BP) is an autoimmune blistering disorder that typically occurs in older adults. The etiopathogenesis of BP is unclear, although viral triggers have been reported. We present a case of new onset pauci-cellular BP in a patient admitted to Intensive Care Unit from an acute COVID-19 infection. Our case proposes to add the new coronavirus to the list of potential viral triggers of BP. Moreover, clinicians should be aware that the same at-risk population for autoimmune bullous diseases may also be at-risk for COVID-19 infection that is responsible for the current pandemic.
Use of dual-energy computed tomography post endovascular treatment of cerebral aneurysm
Authors: Stanton Mitchell , Sparti Gian
Published: May 2021

Background:

Along with surgical clipping, endovascular management is one of the mainstay treatment options for cerebral aneurysms. However, immediate post procedural imaging is often hard to interpret due to the presence of contrast material. Dual-energy computed tomography (CT) allows differentiation between contrast extravasation and intracranial hemorrhage and this case illustrates the importance of this following endovascular treatment of an unruptured cerebral aneurysm.

Case Description:

A patient presented with acute ophthalmoplegia secondary to mass effect from an intracavernous ICA fusiform aneurysm. The patient underwent an endovascular flow diverting stent to treat this aneurysm. Post procedure, the patient had a reduced level of consciousness and underwent a conventional CT showing diffuse subarachnoid hyperdensity of the left hemisphere. Dual-energy CT allowed accurate differentiation and illustrated diffuse contrast material extravasation, allowing patient to continue on dual antiplatelets and therapeutic anticoagulation to reduce the risk of ischemic injury post endovascular stent.

Conclusion:

Use of dual-energy CT in the setting of endovascular management of intracranial aneurysms allows accurate diagnosis of any postoperative complications. Specifically, differentiating between subarachnoid hemorrhage and contrast extravasation is vital in these patients due to the significant consequences to their ongoing management in regard to continuation or cessation of antiplatelets or anticoagulation. With increasing access to this technology, its use should become standard practice in the post-operative investigation of these patients undergoing endovascular treatment.

Üniversite eğitimi alan öğrencilerin en büyük beklentisi eğitim aldıkları alanda çalışabilecekleri bir iş bulabilmektir. Ön lisans düzeyinde muhasebe eğitimi alan öğrencilerin en önemli kaygılarından biri mezun olduktan sonra eğitim aldıkları alanda çalışıp çalışamayacaklarıdır. Bu çalışma ile muhasebe eğitimi alan öğrencilerin hem muhasebe derslerine karşı olan tutumları ve hem de iş bulma kaygıları ölçülerek hangi faktörlerin öğrencilerin iş bulma kaygılarını etkilediğinin tespit edilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Bu amaçla İskenderun Teknik Üniversitesi ve Osmaniye Korkut Ata Üniversitesi önlisans muhasebe ve vergi uygulamaları programı öğrencilerine anket uygulanmıştır. Verilerin analizi SPSS 25 programında yapılmıştır. Araştırma sonucunda, iş bulma kaygısı ve muhasebe dersi tutumunun çeşitli alt boyutlarda birbirini etkilediği ve aralarında pozitif yönde düşük seviyede anlamlı bir ilişki olduğu görülmüştür.
