Botezuri, cununii şi înmormantări. Artişti consemnaţi în registrele parohiale din cetatea Timişoarei în a doua jumătate a secolului al XVIII-lea / Christenings, Marriage Ceremonies and Burials. Artists Recorded in the Parochial Registers in the Timisoara Fortress in the Second Half of the XVIIIth century
Authors: Miklósik Elena
Published: March 2022

Starting with the first decades succeeding the conquering of Timişoara by the Turks, the Fortress underwent, besides the reconstruction of the Fortress, the rehabilitation of the town as the region’s residence. Besides expert constructors, one could also notice artisans specialised in the carving in stone (certified as lapicida or sculptors). Some of them carried out the hard work of stone masons, others proved successful in the execution of art works, the decoration and adornment needed in the new edifices. The painters arrived after the organised colonizations or on their own account. Some of these artists were simple travellers through the Fortress, while some others settled down, as they had founded their own families here, and kept working for their new motherland. The most valuable ones also obtained the citizenship of the town. As most of these, given the tendency to re-Catholicize the Austrian proprietors, had come from Catholic areas, their ephemeral presence or their prolonged stay within the walls of the Fortress were often specified in the Registers of births, marriages and burials of the Roman Catholic Parish on this side. Thus, in the Registers of births, marriages or death we can find concise data regarding the presence, origin, age, family status and, more rarely, the social status of artists in the second half of the century, from the beginning of the „modern” artistic life in Timişoara. In order to support the already supplied biographic references, the Nomenclature of the town’s citizens provides precious additions. These documents can serve as starting points in the research of artistic life during this epoch, which is slightly known. However, there are only few cases when we can relate the name of an artist to several works of art. The revelation and connection of these works to these artists, who have become „acknowledged” on the basis of certificates in the already mentioned documents, are going to be the task of future researches.

Cuţite medievale târzii şi pre-moderne din colecţia Muzeului Naţional al Banatului / Late Medieval and Early Modern Knives from the Collection of the National Museum of Banat
Authors: Kopeczny Zsuzsanna
Published: March 2022

In the collections of the National Museum of Banat exists a number of knives coming from utilitarian excavations carried out in the historical centre of Timişoara during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Based on their shapes, most knives can be identified as coming from the medieval or early modern period; the clear archaeological context they belonged to is, however, uncertain or unknown. A small number of knives are coming from older archaeological excavations carried out throughout the county, mainly in the area of Cenad, formal episcopal see. These are items belonging to the so-called “Nagy Collection”, a collection of artefacts gathered during archaeological excavations undertaken by Kisléghy Nagy Gyula. 18 items, almost 50%, dispose of workshop or craftsmen marks, wich permit us to identify the producing centers, such as Viena, Nürnberg or Styria. In general these knives can be dated to the 15–16th centuries. There is also a group of knives wich come from anabaptist producing centers, and can be dated mainly to the 17th century. In some of the cases we find it extremely difficult to ascertain the exact period the knives were in use, for their shape perpetuated for long periods.Considered usually banal household items, knives prove to be very interesting objects for researchers, for they can offer many informations regarding everyday life, commerce and craftwork. We considered it important to draw the attention upon these artefacts and their historical potential.
Aspecte privind evoluția comerțului in județul Severin in perioada 1944–1948 / Aspects from the evolution of the commerce in the district of Severin between 1944–1948
Authors: Narai Eusebiu
Published: March 2022

The commerce was also afected of different problems: the control of the state in this domain; maintaining the private property; changing the taxe system; refuse of the romanian government to participate to Marshall Plan, proposed by U.S.A.; high prices to all merchendises; low quality of products; laws were changed (organisation of Professional Rooms).In this agitated period (1944–1948) there were necessary a series of measures that would stabilise the industry and trades. For the urban traders, an important action was the reopering of the industrial railways Oraviţa-IeşenovaVârşeţ-Timişoara, belonging to the U.D.R. Society.Between 1944–1947 took place some legislative changes, for example, the law for organizing the Professional Chambers, establishing prices for different trades, even banning some of them to get on the markets.The Severin district had to deal with some negative effects too, because the state started to controll everything and everyone from the trading domain. Its commerce was affected by the sovietic robberies and abuses from 1944–1945.The instability of the internal market, and the lack of products because of the soviet army have encouraged the traders to form societies of their own, professional organisations of traders, such as: The Society of Traders specialised in: wood, cereals, iron, meat and lambs, textiles, glass, food, skin and shoes, but all of them had to respect the government’s rules.In conclusion, the commerce in Severin between 1944–1948 was limited by the political factor and the state’s control over it.
Contribuţii la istoria francmasoneriei din Banat / Contributions to the History of Freemasonry from Banat.
Authors: Kakucs Lajos
Published: March 2022

According to the information provided by the historian, Ludwig Aigner/Lajos Abafi (1840–1909), born in a locality from Banat, Iecea Mare, the first freemasons’ lodge from Banat, named Zu den drei weißen Lilien (At the three white lilies), was founded by a baron, Maximilian Josef Linden (1736–1801) who, known by freemasons as Ardaxanes Linniphoen Mimichemen, had already acted in the Viennese lodges Zur Hoffnung and Zur gekrönte Hoffnung. Besides the Viennese connections set up in the lodge of Rosicrucians from Timișoara there were also some local personalities such as the Orthodox bishop of Arad, Petru Petrovici (1733–1780), the canonic from Cenad, Vuko Branko de Pal (Vuco-Brancovici Paul, 1725–1798), the abbot from Bezdin, Gherasim Adamovici (1733–1794) subsequent Orthodox bishop of Transylvania, Iosif Ioanovici Şacabent (the Orthodox bishop of Vârşeţ between 1786 and 1804). These connections brought the people living in Banat closer to the Jacobin movement from Hungary in 1795, run by Ignác Martinovics. There is a new phase of the masonic activity in Banat, which begins after the reestablishment of the Ioanit lodge from Timișoara, known as Zu den drei weißen Lilien, on April 3, 1868. After 1868, there were some other lodges such as Hunyady (1872–1876) and Losonczy (1899–1919; after1923, Loja Pax) from Timișoara, Concordia from Lipova (1871–1883), Kosmos (1870–1878) and Glückauf zu den drei Schlägeln in Oravița (1871–1878), Irenea from Caransebeș (1882–1894), Petőfi from Aradul Nou (1871) and Loja Dél in Lugoj (1903–1918). The lodges’ members played a special role in the cultural and civic activities in these localities. In Banat, besides the already mentioned lodges there were: Zur Wahrheit lodge from Reșița, founded in 1874, Egalitas from Vârşeţ, in 1870, Fels der Warheit from Biserica Albă, in 1873, Vaskapu Kör from Orșova, Stella Orientalis from Panciova, in 1890 and Thales from Becicherecul Mare. We don’t own any information regarding the activity of these lodges. Besides the already specified lodges there were very many people from Banat, especially intellectuals and students, who had acted in the lodges from Hungary.The collections of the Museum of Banat from Timişoara comprise several masonic objects mostly originating in the property of a baron, János Károly Hiller de Butin (1748–1819).

Pictorul Ferenczy József (1866–1925) și colecționarii de artă din Timișoara / The painter Ferenczy József (1866–1925) and the art collectors in Timișoara
Authors: Cornea Marius
Published: March 2022

The Art Museum of Timişoara is the institution that has preserved the memory of collectors from the historical Banat, a region from the today western Romania, by works of art acquired or donated when the Historical and Archaeological Society of Banat was founded in 1872 in the city of Timişoara, then one of the cities within the Austro-Hungarian Empire.The current study deals with the art collectors in Timişoara during the XXth century and their interest for the oeuvre of the painter Ferenczy József (1866–1925), who made studies in Budapest and Paris at the Julian Academy. From 1901 the painter has settled down in Timișoara, becoming of one the most requested portraitist within the city. The article presents the Museum of Banat’s acquisitions policy between the 1950s and the 1960s, during the period of dissolution of the collections assembled between the two World Wars and the valorisation of the oeuvre of the painter Ferenczy József through an exihibition from the year 1973 with the art works from the collections of the poets Endre Károly and Kuban Endre, the Mühle family, the physician Eugen Schuber, and Olga Suits, the muse of the painter Ștefan Szönyi.
Jetoanele medievale din ceramică: utilităţi cu multiple dubii de interpretare / Medieval Ceramic Jetons: A Use with Multiple Doubts of Interpretation
Authors: Rusu Adrian Andrei
Published: March 2022

Archaeological excavations conducted in the Benedictine monastery from Frumuşeni (Bizere, Arad County) brought to light eight ceramic circular pellets which were made from damaged vessels, six of these have a central perforation. During an interval of approximately one millennium these could be found spread over a wide geographic area and were made from a variety of materials with specific forms. One part of these belong to the category of recycled materials. A convenient interpretation would have categorized these as ‘spindle whorls’ at least the ones with a central hole. One can find a generous literature discussing these however it is still short and superficial. Less researched are the iconographic representations but these cannot supply conclusive elements because of the small dimensions of the components of the whorls of the spindle. In addition, the ethnographic reality drastically limits the existence of the independent part demonstrating that the independent part disappeared merged in the wooden spindle and was taken over by the spinning wheel. The study discusses the materials, dimensions, marks or decorations, contexts of discovery, the number of objects or the contradictions between the interpretations of the same materials. As a general conclusion one can state that the safest would be not to automatically provide a certain or exclusive function to these forms. The context of Bizere as a monastery, where monks lived and worked would be in contradiction with the spinning. The re-analysis of the published groups lead firstly to the recognition of two groups of use in which we have subgroups and independent pieces. According to the same primary classification the disproportioned versions are also discussed, through which the archaeological finds could originate from decorative pieces (the second interpretation version) such as: rosaries (3), amulets (4), fittings or fibulas (5), buttons (6), pellets for games with marked surface (7), whirligig (8), and various facilities for weaving excluding spinning (9), fishing weights (10), drilling components (11), abacus pieces (12), wheels for toys (13), various dagger guards (14), corks (15), mosaic parts (16), weights for scales (17), rubbers for erasing wax tablets (18), stamps for wafers (19), supports for alchemical samples (20), modeling tools for pottery (21), rafts (22), compass stands (23), remains from other damaged objects but unused (24). The final conclusions is that for the context of the Benedictine abbey from Bizere the discovered finds are most unlikely spindle whorls but more probably jetons used for games. The topic opens up like a tree and implies continuous pondering on the useful forms even in the case of archaeological units considered insignificant or easily classifiable.
Accesorii vestimentare şi podoabe în necropolele birituale din Transilvania (sec. VII–IX) / Clothing Accessories and Finery Found in Biritual Necropolises in Transylvania (7th–9th centuries)
Authors: Tomegea George
Published: March 2022

Within the contents of this study we have focused on the analysis of clothing accessories and of finery found incremation as well as in inhumation graves as part of the cemeteries of whose biritual character we are certainof. Due to the fact that the Berghin and Târnava cemeteries have not been published yet, the author will referto them only to the extent to which certain inventory items are mentioned in other studies. Even from thebeginning we have to mention the fact that these items are not of large number compared to the high number ofthe graves discovered, firstly due to the large number of incineration graves which led to their demise through theprocess of burning and secondly because of the shallowness of the graves which led to their obliteration due toseveral agricultural or town planning work processes. As items of clothing accessories only different types of beltbuckles (round, rectangular, trapeze shaped, metal plate) and fibulas have been found. Items of finery have alsobeen found like belt ornaments (especially Avar cast ones), different types of earrings (simple, half moon shaped,with a cluster made of metal grains, with a spiral shaped pendant, with a spheric pendant) bracelets, rings andbeads. A first conclusion can be drawn, in that there is a significant difference between the number of the gravesin which clothing accessories and those in which produced finery items – the latter are of a much larger number.Furthermore, concerning the incineration and the inhumation types of graves one difference becomes obviousand that is more clothing accessories have been found in cremation tombs than in those of inhumation, whilethe finery were of a larger number in the inhumation tombs. These differences are caused by the larger numberof incineration tombs but also by the fact that a lot of items found in this type of graves have been destroyedonce the dead person was burnt on the funeral pyre. We must also mention the fact that the most of the lattercategory of objects come from the Bratei cemetery, a fact that is not in the least surprising since this is the biggestcemetery of this type which was published. We must also note the existence of only two graves, one of cremationand another one of inhumation in which items of both categories can be found, namely beads and belt buckles.In a series of inhumation graves earrings have been discovered in association with beads. Their discovery in bothtypes of graves, together with other items (especially ceramic material), but sustained by the intercalation of theinhumation graves amongst those of cremation, prove that they coexisted in the same timespan and the biritualcharacter of these cemeteries. m e analogies with similar items from the Carpathic area but also with areas to theEast or to the South of the Carpathians support the dating of these cemeteries within the 7th and the 9th century.
The Accommodation of the British Mission in Romania (1944)

Published: March 2022

e Romanian Convention of Armistice, signed in Moscow on 12 – 13 September 1944, provided to the Soviet Union the right to represent all interests of the United Nations by ruling the Allied Control Commission on Romania, to which the United States and the United Kingdom represensatives were attached. British documents on microches, studied at the Romanian National Archives, provided a clear insight on the Romanian a$airs approached by the Big ree Powers in the autumn of 1944.One could easily notice the fact that not only did the Soviets interfere in Romanian a$airs from the beginning but they also a$ected the rights, mainly economic, in Romania of all other states of the United Nations, the Great Britain and the United States especially. After Churchill-Stalin’s “Percentages Agreement”, the Soviets, using false arguments, increased their purely unilateral activities, in disregard even of the 10% percent British, by removing British and American-owned oil concerns’ equipment although His Majesty’s Government and the United States Government made serious unsuccessful protests.e United Kingdom succeeded in having the Oce of Political Representatives, through which the Foreign Oce was made known about the political developments with Romanian Government and Romanian patriots’ help, who sincerely believed in the generous principles of the Atlantic Charter and the Declaration by the United Nations.

Published: March 2022

The two Balkan wars were the events of a colossal proportions in the history of Southeast Europe. Romanian people welcomed with great concern and passion the bloody events from Balkan. The major interpretive contrary separates the epic story of Balkan War from the narrative Bulgarian campaign in the Romanian press. They are not two equal speeches, not quantitatively nor qualitatively. The first Balkan War is one of a lucid analysis. The second Balkan War brings into focus the enthusiasm instead of reflection. The press turns overnight in a instrument of energy coagulation from the public.

Modeling and Computer Simulation of Viscoelastic Crypt Deformation
Authors: Oliveira E. P. , Romanazzi G.
Published: March 2022

Colorectal cancer morphogenesis begins at the cellular level from cell mutations in the intestinal epithelium cavities called crypts. These mutations lead to a pressure difference in the epithelium crypt walls, which causes deformation and generates visible abnormalities in the epithelium. The geometrical modeling of these crypts and the mathematical modeling of the physical process that cause the deformations can be simulated by using a Finite Element Method. The method solves numerically the system of PDE equations that governs this phenomenon and permits to estimate the deformations of the crypt walls. We simulate in this work the crypt deformation when the cell mutations appear in several regions of the crypt epithelium.

Published: March 2022

Inter-trochanteric fractures of femur are one of the commonest fractures encountered in orthopedic practice. It is mostly seen in the older age groups. An increased incidence of these fractures is noted these days owing to the increased life expectancy. An intertrochanteric fracture occurs along the line that is located between the greater and lesser trochanter. These fractures are seen most commonly in the elderly and are usually the result of a fall. The goal of care for this particular type of fracture should be to restore the patient to his or her preinjury status as quickly as possible. The potential benefits of operative intervention include rapid mobilization, ease of nursing care, shorter hospitalization, decreased mortality and restoration of function. A 60-year-old male with right sided Boyd and Griffin type 2, was diagnosed by orthopedic surgeon, after a fall, on which on which open reduction and fixation with proximal femoral nailing SOS dynamic hip screw was done. Post operatively the patient had impaired limb movements and inability to perform daily activities. After operation, patient was managed with physical therapy treatment comprising of static regimens, progressing to dynamic exercises, electrotherapeutic techniques, strengthening exercises, gait exercise for a duration of 10 weeks. Patient was given physiotherapy regime for 5 days per week for 10 weeks. This study shows that the operative method and timely recovery in physical therapy contributed to the progress of ROM, strength of muscle, functional activities progressively, which successfully led to further recovery.

Elbow joint make up to 4.3% of all fractures. Elbow joint consists of humerus radius and ulna of which humerus forms the proximal attachment while radius and ulna forms distal attachment. humerus being one of the major bone of upper limb any fracture needs to be given special consideration. Early rehabilitation can make the difference between a functional limb and an extremity with permanent loss. The rehabilitation goal is the rapid restoration of function with the attention given to prevention of deformity. A 52 year old male patient accountant by occupation with right hand dominance came with the complaint of reduced range of motion and pain in the right elbow. Patient presented with the history of fall in his home 2 months back, following which he had fracture of elbow. Patient was brought by the relatives in the casualty. After that X-ray and CT was done which showed comminuted fracture in the distal end of humerus. Patient was diagnosed with displaced comminuted fracture of elbow right side. Therapeutic intervention for the patient comprised of patient education, thermotherapy, and range of motion exercises, joint mobilization and progressive resistive exercise. Final outcome of all this intervention showed improvement in function. Early physiotherapy intervention after surgical fixation should be started to improve quality of life, forearm functioning and prevent chronic disability.

Published: March 2022

Intra-articular fractures of the proximal tibia are commonly referred as tibial plateau fractures. They are quite common injuries and represent about 1% of all fractures in adult population. Conventional physiotherapy has been proved effective in increasing the range of motion as well as in making the patient functional but many patients encounter pain during the process of rehabilitation Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) is electrotherapy modality most commonly used to manage pain by physiotherapists. A need exists to establish a relationship between the effects of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation in dynamic position on gait parameters in gait training. 44 subjects will be included in the study and divided in two groups Group A and Group B. Group A will receive conventional physiotherapy along with TENS while gait training. Group B will receive conventional physiotherapy. In this study the effect of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation at the time of gait training on the functional parameters pain and range of motion will be seen. Pain is one of the major problem patients faces at the time of gait training because of prolonged period of immobilisation. If the pain is treated properly better functional ability can be seen. In this study we will be considering NPRS as the main outcome measure as pain is one of the causes of restricted range as well as the functional limitation. Conclusion will be drawn based on the outcome measures of the study and the statistical analysis. Keywords: Physiotherapy, Rehabilitation, TENS, Tibial plateau fracture.
An immunohistochemical study on the distribution of CD1a dendritic cell density in normal and pathological lesions of the human uterus
Authors: Ramachandran Kalpana
Published: March 2022

Dendritic cells (DCs) are specialized antigen presenting cells in our body that are principally responsible for the modulation of our immune responses. Dendritic cells identify the foreign antigens and stimulate the lymphoid tissue to initiate adaptive and innate immune responses. Langerhans cells (LCs) are subsets of dendritic cells that are present in small numbers in the endometrium of uterus. Langerhans cells are responsible for the initiation of host immune responses and act against the malignant transformation of tissues. The knowledge of the dendritic cells population of the uterus may help us to understand the various benign and malignant pathologies of uterus. This is a prospective Immunohistochemistry study on 40 uterine specimens. Uterine tissue samples were collected from women undergoing hysterectomy for various benign and malignant conditions of uterus. All tissues were processed subjected for 3μm sections. Dendritic cells were identified and counted per 20 high power fields (HPF). Most patients had fibroid uterus. Maximum Dendritic cells of 44 per HPF were observed in fibroid uterus with secretory endometrium. The mean dendritic cells in benign tissues were 15.95 and that in the malignant tissues were 1.375 per 20 high power fields. The mean dendritic cells per high power fields in the proliferative and secretory endometrium were 0.88 and 0.7 respectively. The present Immunohistochemistry study demonstrated the distribution of dendritic cells in the benign and malignant conditions of the uterus. A decrease in number of dendritic cells was noted in uterus with malignancy. Keywords: Uterus, Hysterectomy, Dendritic cell, Langerhan cell, Fibroid uterus.

Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a chronic health illness that is caused by a number of geanetic and/or environmental factors. Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) accounts for more than 95 percent of all instances of diabetes in adults. According to the World Health Organization, India is one of the epicenters of the global diabetes epidemic, and it has the second highest number of diabetics in the world, with a population of over 900 million people (about 69 million people as of 2015).In present study, in vivo antidiabetic activity of some benzamide derivatives have been performed in STZ-nicotinamide-induced diabetic model in rats. The antidiabetic potential has been determined by estimating different serum biochemical and antioxidant parameters. Amongst all the tested molecules, compound 5h demonstrated significant antidiabetic and antioxidant potential when compared to the metformin-treated group. Compound 5h possesses cloprothiazole substitution with benzamide nucleus. It was concluded that compound 5h can be treated as a lead molecule for the design and development of novel antidiabetic agents. Keywords: T2DM, Streptozotocin, Benzamide, Diabetes, Rats.

Cotidianamente, debates buscam novas alternativas para uma efetiva educação de qualidade, que garanta não só o acesso e a permanência para todos. A pesquisa em desenvolvimento visa ressaltar que para a implementação de políticas de melhorias na educação perpassa pela proatividade do gestor escolar como líder, que desenvolve saberes e competências para tomada de decisões no sistema de ensino, e entende quais relações de poder há nessas decisões, e quais as implicações das decisões tomadas. A construção do processo de gestão escolar democrática implica repensar a lógica da organização e participação nas relações e dinâmica escolar, tendo como fundamento a discussão dos mecanismos de participação, as finalidades da escola, bem como, a definição de metas e a tomada de decisão consciente e coletiva.  Legalmente o papel do diretor escolar por si só perpassa por inúmeras situações do dia a dia escolar, reuniões de formação, alinhamento com superiores e colaboradores, planejamentos, acompanhamento de programas e questões legais, administração de recursos financeiros, organização do espaço físico, parceria com conselho escolar, observação de indicadores operacionais, de resultados entre outros.

Enrichment at Home and in the Wild: Comparing Enrichment in Black-Footed Cats and Domestic Cats
Authors: Gomez Skylar
Published: March 2022

Environmental enrichment provides captive animals with stimuli needed to participate in species-typical behavior and increases the amount of time an animal spends in goal-directed behavior. It is often used in zoos to decrease the occurrences of stereotypical behaviors. This article explores responses to enrichment in two closely related species – the black-footed cat (Felis nigripes) and the domestic cat (Felis catus) – through video footage and analysis of each species’ interaction with three enrichment treatments

Opracowanie stanowi kontynuację zapoczątkowanego na łamach czasopisma w listopadzie i kontynuowanego w
grudniu 2021 r. oraz styczniu 2022 r. projektu omawiania w ujęciu dynamicznym zmian, które wprowadza w polskim
systemie podatkowym ustawa z dnia 29 października 2021 r. o zmianie ustawy o podatku dochodowym od osób
fizycznych, ustawy o podatku dochodowym od osób prawnych oraz niektórych innych ustaw1, nazywana „Polskim
Ładem”. W artykule poświęcono uwagę trzem wybranym instytucjom związanym z podatkiem dochodowym od
osób fizycznych, podatkiem dochodowym od osób prawnych oraz zryczałtowanym podatkiem dochodowym od
niektórych przychodów osiąganych przez osoby fizyczne. Instytucje, czyli przejściowy ryczałt od dochodów, ulgę
na robotyzację i ulgę CSR łączy fakultatywny charakter. Dwie z nich (przejściowy ryczałt od dochodów oraz ulga
na robotyzację) mają także charakter przejściowy i mogą być stosowane tylko w ściśle określonych ramach czasowych.
Mogą potencjalnie oddziaływać na prawa i obowiązki podatników w rozliczeniu rocznym za rok 2022 (ulgi
na robotyzację i CSR) lub po przeprowadzeniu stosownej, dedykowanej procedury, która rozpocząć może się
najprędzej w dniu 1 października 2022 r. Z uwagi jednak na kształt przesłanek ich zastosowania, uwagę podatników
na konstrukcję każdej z nich warto zwrócić już dzisiaj.
Die Auswirkungen der Richtlinie (EU) 2019/1937 auf Arbeitnehmer-Hinweisgeber
Authors: Brobeil Anne
Published: March 2022

The need to protect whistleblowers is impressively demonstrated by the fate of persons who have reported breaches in the past. The Whistleblower Directive is the first Europe-wide and cross-jurisdictional regulation on the protection of whistleblowers. The author examines the requirements it places on the establishment and operation of reporting channels, the report and public disclosure of breaches by employee whistleblowers and their protection in the employment relationship. Among other things, she examines the question of whether they have the right to choose between internal and external reports of breaches and shows ways to motivate them to report internally as a preference.
Perspective Chapter: Ross Procedure in Adults with Congenital Aortic Valve Stenosis - New Perspectives
Authors: E. Trager Lena , M. Said Sameh
Published: March 2022

Congenital aortic valve stenosis represents 3–5% of patients with congenital heart disease. Management options include both transcatheter and surgical. Open valvotomy/valvuloplasty and aortic valve replacement represent the main surgical choices, and while aortic valve repair is preferred, replacement may be the only option for non-repairable valves. Current available replacement options include pulmonary autograft, homografts, and biological or mechanical prostheses. The Ross procedure first introduced in 1967 by Donald Ross utilizes the patient’s pulmonary valve (autograft) as an aortic valve substitute. Despite being technically challenging it carries the advantages of maintaining the growth potentials and freedom from anticoagulation which are important in young patients. The procedure gained wide interest initially, however it fell out of favor due to concerns related to its complexity and risks of creating “two-valve” disease. Recently, long-term data confirmed the Ross procedure excellent outcomes and better survival in comparison to other aortic valve replacement options. As a result, currently it is considered the procedure of choice for young adults with congenital aortic valve stenosis at many institutions. This chapter discusses the technical aspects of the Ross procedure, and its modifications, and available options for the failing Ross, in addition to outcomes and future directions.
Design and Development of Zirconia-Alumina Bioceramics Obtained at Low Temperature through Eco-Friendly Technology
Authors: Benavente Rut , Dolores Salvador Maria , Borrell Amparo
Published: March 2022

Ceramics are increasingly used as structural materials with biomedical applications due to their mechanical properties, biocompatibility, esthetic characteristics and durability. Specifically, zirconia-based compounds are commonly used to develop metal-free restorations and dental implants. The consolidation of ceramics is usually carried out through powders by means of processes that require a lot of energy, as long as processing times and high temperatures (over 1400°C) are required. In the recent years, new research is being developed in this field to reduce both energy consumption and processing time of ceramic powders. One of the most promising techniques for sintering ceramics is microwave heating technology. The main objective of this chapter is to obtain highly densified zirconia-alumina compounds by microwave technology. After sintering, the materials are characterized to determine whether the final properties meet the mechanical requirements for their final applications as dental material. Finally, the characterization of specimens treated by low-temperature degradation (LTD) is carried out after each 20 h of LTD exposure up to 200 h. In addition, the quantification of monoclinic phase by micro-Raman spectroscopy, analysis by AFM and Nomarski optical microscopy and assessment of the roughness and mechanical properties (hardness and Young’s modulus) by nanoindentation technique have been studied.
Computer Musicking as Onto-Epistemic Playground On the Joy of Developing Complexity Literacy and Learning to Let Others Be
Authors: Eldridge Alice Cecelia
Published: March 2022

Theories across sciences and humanities posit a central role for musicking in the evolution of the social, biological and technical pat- terns that underpin modern humanity. In this talk I suggest that contemporary computer musicking can play a similarly critical role in supporting us through contemporary existential, ecological, technological and social crises, by providing a space for reworking our relationships with each other and the world, including the technologies that we make. Framed by Gregory Bateson’s analysis of the fundamental epistemological error which leads to interrelated existential, social and ecological crises, I will draw upon a range of personal projects to illustrate the value of computer music practices in learning to think better: from cybernetic generative art, through ecosystemic evolutionary art and feedback musicianship to the need for interactive approaches to algorithm interpretation in ma- chine listening to biodiversity. I will illustrate how computer musicking can help in three ways: firstly by developing complexity literacy, helping us to better understand the complex systems of the anthropocene; secondly by providing a space to explore other modes of relation through learning to let others be; and thirdly to clarify the importance of aligning technologies with and not against, the biosphere. As pre-historic musicking made us human, so contemporary computer musicking can help us learn to think through the challenges we face today and be better humans tomorrow.

The study was conducted at the Amazon Research Center CIMAZ - MACAGUAL of the University of Amazonia, Colombia, with a tropical rain forest climate (Af). The behavior of Bos taurus, Bos indicus, and Caqueteño Creole cattle, the animals were observed in paddocks with three levels of scattered tree cover density. The pasture was composed of Braquiaria decumbens with 35 days of regrowth. Direct observations were made from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. with 10-minute intervals between the recording of the activities. The activity performed most often during the day by all of the animals was grazing under the sun, and those who pasture the most are the Caqueteño Creole, followed by the Bos indicus and, finally, the Bos taurus. Ruminating was the second most important activity performed by the cattle, having presented the same tendency. In the paddocks with a low level of tree cover, the animals pasture more in the shade; this trend is more relevant among B. taurus cattle. Caqueteño Creole cattle dedicate less time to water consumption and rest, spending more time grazing, in the high and medium cover levels, they interrupt the grazing at noon for a shorter time compared to B. indicus and B. taurus; after 2 p.m., the creoles vertiginously increase grazing. At the high cover level, the peak of grazing of the Caqueteño Creoles is at 9 a.m. and from 1-1:30 p.m., while at the medium tree cover level, the peak of pasturing was at noon, 1:30 p.m., and 4:30 p.m., at the high tree level of cover, the peak for the three breeds was at 11 a.m. Only at the average tree level of cover did the Caquetaño creoles and B. indicus present a similar peak. In 9-9:30 a.m. and 4-5 p.m., the breeds substantially reduce rumination.
