Authors: Raffaello Wilson Matthew , Henrina Joshua , Huang Ian , Lim Michael Anthonius , Suciadi Leonardo Paskah , Siswanto Bambang Budi , Pranata Raymond
Published: February 2021

Heart failure is currently one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality. Patients with heart failure often present with acute symptoms and may have a poor prognosis. Recent evidence shows differences in clinical characteristics and outcomes between de novo heart failure (DNHF) and acute decompensated chronic heart failure (ADCHF). Based on a better understanding of the distinct pathophysiology of these two conditions, new strategies may be considered to treat heart failure patients and improve outcomes. In this review, the authors elaborate distinctions regarding the clinical characteristics and outcomes of DNHF and ADCHF and their respective pathophysiology. Future clinical trials of therapies should address the potentially different phenotypes between DNHF and ADCHF if meaningful discoveries are to be made.

Published: February 2021

The initiation and management of anticoagulation is a fundamental practice for a wide variety of indications in cardiovascular critical care, including the management of patients with acute MI, stroke prevention in patients with AF or mechanical valves, as well as the prevention of device thrombosis and thromboembolic events with the use of mechanical circulatory support and ventricular assist devices. The frequent use of antiplatelet and anticoagulation therapy, in addition to the presence of concomitant conditions that may lead to a propensity to bleed, such as renal and liver dysfunction, present unique challenges. The use of viscoelastic haemostatic assays provides an additional tool allowing clinicians to strike a delicate balance of attaining adequate anticoagulation while minimising the risk of bleeding complications. In this review, the authors discuss the role that viscoelastic haemostatic assay plays in cardiac populations (including cardiac surgery, heart transplantation, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, acute coronary syndrome and left ventricular assist devices), and identify areas in need of further study.

Published: February 2021

The molluscan fauna of southwestern Brazilian Amazonia is poorly known due to the lack of focused collection areas in the region since the early 20th century. The present study provides an inventory of the terrestrial gastropods from a forest fragment in the eastern Acre state, Brazil: the Humaitá Forest Reserve (“Reserva Florestal Humaitá”). Live specimens and empty shells were collected between August 2018 and January 2019. A total of 20 species were identified, distributed in 11 families. Most (13) of these species were recorded in Acre for the first time. Furthermore, we confirm the occurrence of Systrophia helicycloides (d’Orbigny, 1835) in Brazil, reiterate the synonymy of Plekocheilus pentadinus (d’Orbigny, 1835) with P. floccosus (Spix in Wagner, 1827), and synonymize Solaropsis peruviana Haas, 1951 with S. juruana Ihering, 1905.

Authors: Nekhoroshikh Natalya A.
Published: February 2021

El autor tiene como objetivo estudiar la implementación del análisis teórico de la cooperación como la base fundamental más fructífera de la educación para el logro de altos resultados, identificando las circunstancias subjetivas y objetivas de la influencia del nivel de desarrollo de habilidades de cooperación en el éxito de la enseñanza de estudiantes más jóvenes. El abordaje integral del estudio del problema fue el método principal que permitió considerar este tema en tres aspectos: desde el lado de los escolares de primaria, docentes y directores de primaria y directores de instituciones educativas. El autor identificó condiciones socio pedagógicas y psicológicas que aseguran un incremento en el desempeño de los estudiantes más jóvenes en el proceso educativo a partir de ideas de cooperación, así como factores que inhiben el desarrollo de su cooperación, lo que afecta negativamente el desempeño académico. Se ha comprobado empíricamente que la organización del proceso educativo en la escuela primaria a partir de las ideas de cooperación, cuando los estudiantes son sujetos de relaciones educativas, contribuye a su logro de mayores resultados de aprendizaje. La trascendencia de los resultados de la investigación obtenidos es demostrar las consecuencias positivas de construir el proceso educativo basado en la cooperación.

Authors: Gahremani Reza , Hassanzadeh Kalshani Ja’far , Mahdavian Mahboub
Published: February 2021

El objetivo de esta investigación fue analizar el papel de los mawāli en los desarrollos políticos en Kufa (Iraq). Este artículo busca explicar el papel de la población mawāli en las interacciones y desarrollos políticos y sociales de Kufa, refiriéndose a recursos confiables y examinando las palabras de historiadores. El método de esta investigación fue descriptivo-analítico el cual se realizó en un método documental utilizando las fuentes disponibles. Los resultados mostraron que debido a su estructura social compleja y heterogénea, esta ciudad albergaba varios estratos sociales que jugaron un papel clave en el desarrollo político, incluido el mawāli. En el principio y la teoría del Islam, la igualdad y la hermandad de los musulmanes son importantes. Pero este no fue el caso en la práctica y los mawāli fueron expuestos al insulto, el desprecio y los prejuicios de los árabes. Los mawāli eran considerados esclavos y ciudadanos de segunda clase por los árabes porque, a diferencia de los árabes guerreros, cultivaban o trabajaban como jornaleros, artesanos, tenderos y comerciantes y trataban de liberarlos de la esclavitud. Gradualmente, el mawāli ganó un papel y un lugar relativamente importantes y altos puestos en los pilares administrativos y militares, de modo que muchos comandantes famosos y los primeros eruditos islámicos eran principalmente de mawāli. Esta gente tuvo una gran influencia cultural en los árabes.

El objetivo de este estudio fue el efecto del tiempo desconocido sobre el compromiso en la ley iraní y los documentos internacionales. Lo cual se ha hecho en un método de biblioteca y mediante la revisión de los documentos. Sin embargo, es razonable que la implementación del compromiso en tales circunstancias en documentos internacionales sea razonable y estándar. Para documentos internacionales: el artículo 33 de la Convención de las Naciones Unidas sobre la Compraventa Internacional de Mercaderías (CISG), los Contratos de Comercio Internacional (UPICC), el artículo 107-27 de la Ley de Tratados Europeos (PECL) y el artículo 102-22 del Marco Común de DCFR de Referencia). Después de concluir el contrato, considerando todos sus términos y condiciones esenciales, por cualquier motivo, de manera deliberada o involuntaria, una de las partes puede negarse a ejecutar el contrato con el pretexto de que el contrato es inaplicable y la ley civil parece silenciosa. Lo hace, y no hay una solución explícita para nuestro derecho civil, a pesar de lo estipulado en documentos internacionales.

Los resultados indican que el PM y la política fiscal han afectado el índice ER de Irán, por lo que se sugiere que el gobierno allane el camino para fortalecer la resiliencia del país mejorando la eficiencia del sistema monetario y financiero del país. Los resultados indicaron que el MP y la política fiscal habían afectado a Irán, por lo que se sugiere que los responsables de la política económica del país intenten diseñar mecanismos de alerta para tomar medidas en la primera oportunidad para resolver la discrepancia en caso de cualquier inconsistencia en las políticas monetarias y fiscales que hacer al país más vulnerable. Finalmente, los resultados indicaron que el PM y la política fiscal habían afectado el índice ER neto de Irán; por lo tanto, se recomienda que los funcionarios monetarios y financieros del país especifiquen índices financieros como el estado presupuestario del gobierno e índices monetarios como la liquidez y tengan en cuenta las consecuencias de estas políticas en la RE neta del país.
Masculinity and Rape in Spanish Cinema: Representation and Collective Imaginary
Authors: Guarinos Virginia , Sánchez-Labella Martín Inmaculada
Published: February 2021

Commercial cinema in Spain, as in the rest of the world, has gone to great lengths to describe visually, without any intention of protest, each and every one of the forms of violence against women: physical, psychological, financial, social and, lastly, sexual. Beyond insinuating and intimidating compliments and gazes, sexual violence is something that is excepted in scripts, even in those of famous directors who create powerful female characters. The aim of this paper is to know how the Spanish directors, of both sexes, represent the topic of sexual violence, paying attention to the masculinity of the characters. To this end, a content analysis was performed on twelve films from a narrative perspective. In a second stage, employing methodological triangulation and a questionnaire as a quantitative tool, university students were asked about how they perceived the scenes of sexual violence in these films. The results show, on one side, that rape is the act of sexual violence more represented and, on the other hand, a lack of awareness about the treatment of rape in Spanish cinema, as well as its rejection by young audiences.
Nāgaraka in the Kāmasūtra: An Introduction to Masculinity in Early India
Authors: Singh Sukhdev
Published: February 2021

The idea of masculinity is malleable in the Kāmasūtra. This study pinpoints the factors that build or refashion masculinity. It hinges on the economic stability or declination, and undergoes changes accordingly. This study suggests that economic declination might create a category of service providers, for instance, the veśyā, sub-Nāgaraka and the tṛtīyā prakṛti, or third nature, person who corroborate malleability and fluidity of masculinity. This study also suggests that idea of masculinity is disturbed when females enter the masculine domain of kāma-related knowledge. Overall, kāma is not exclusively concerned with masculinity.
Framing Discourses in Turkish News Coverage Regarding Artificial Intelligence Technologies’ Prospects and Challenges
Authors: SARISAKALOĞLU Aynur
Published: February 2021

In recent years, the continuous and increasing implementation of artificial intelligence technologies
in our daily lives has triggered discussions regarding its potentials and risks, especially in news media.
However, the analysis of the way in which this technology is communicated to the public is limited. The
framing approach can be applied to understand the structure of news stories and to explore the type of
interpretation patterns that are used to inform the public about artificial intelligence technologies. For
this purpose, a total of 209 news articles from two highly circulated Turkish newspapers were gathered
between January 1, 2019 and December 31, 2019 and analyzed in order to discover how this emerging
technology is framed in the media discourse with regard to its prospects and challenges. The results
indicate that the following frames are used in Turkish news coverage to thematize the possibilities
and potential risks of artificial intelligence: “Artificial intelligence as assistant/supporter”, “economic
benefit”, “elimination of human error”, “human replacement”, and “ethical concerns”. Overall, the news
coverage reveals a predominately positive tendency toward artificial intelligence by emphasizing the
prospects and benefits for its users.

Background: Sickle cell disease (SCD) is an inherited haemoglobinopathy which involves the inheritance of haemoglobin S with any other abnormal haemoglobin from both parents. Health related quality of life (HRQOL) provides the patient’s view of his/her own wellbeing. This study was aimed at determining health related quality of life in SCD patients attending Lagos State University Teaching Hospital, Ikeja, Nigeria using the World Health organization quality of life-BREF (WHOQOL-BREF) questionnaire.  

Methods: This was a descriptive, cross sectional study in which an interviewer-administered WHOQOL-BREF questionnaire was used to assess health related quality of life of 250 SCD participants and 50 HbAA controls. The questionnaire assessment was based on physical, psychological, social and environmental domains. Data were analyzed using SPSS statistical software version 23.0. P value was considered to be statistically significant at<0.05.  

Results: Respondents mean age was 31.67±12.07 years. SCD participants scored generally lower than controls, regarding domains on physical, psychological and social health, however scores were at par on environmental domain. Physical health score was better in females with SCD than males, while males with SCD had a better social relationship than females. Psychological health and environment scores were almost equal in both males and females with SCD.

Conclusions: Health related quality of care is generally poor in SCD participants compared with HbAA controls, physical health is poorer in males with SCD than in females, however, psychological, social and environmental domains are similar in both genders.

Authors: VISHWANADHA Chandra Shekhar , ÖZDEMİR Abdullah Emre , ZAFER Baha
Published: February 2021

or the automotive industry, acoustic comfort is of increasing importance. Customer expectations and strong competition in the market play an important role to accelerate vehicle development activities. Although the primary function of HVAC (Heating ventilation and Air-conditioning) is thermal comfort of the occupant during ride; acoustic comfort is also important when it comes to customer satisfaction resulting in overall experience of the vehicle. Hence, prediction of cabin interior noise in the early design stage plays an important role in designing a superior quality product.In this paper, cabin interior noise levels generated by HVAC systems are predicted by using computational 1-D (one dimensional) analysis. 3-D (three dimensional) CAD geometry is designed using SOLIDWORKS and 1-D analysis is done on GT-Suite. Main purpose of this paper is to demonstrate how 1-D simulation can be an aid for a duct designer by predicting the NVH characteristic of HVAC Ducts and continuing the research to shorten the product development timelines.

Authors: JAFARI Mohammad Javad , BAHMANI Rahman , POYAKIAN Mostafa , KHORSHIDI BEHZADI Yaser , KHODAKRIM Soheila
Published: February 2021

Introduction: Each year, many accidents occur in processing industries such as oil, gas, and petrochemicals. Processing industries mostly work with hazardous chemicals and units in high temperature and high-pressure conditions like reactors and storage tanks. The study aimed to model the consequences of a complete tank rapture (explosion and fire) and specify the intensity caused by the events.
Materials and methods: The applied method in this study was based on the Quantitative Risk Assessment method. This method is used for risk assessment in chemical, petroleum, gas, and petrochemical processes and transport industries. Initially, the process associated with the monomer vinyl-chloride storage tank was identified. At the next stage, the scenarios and probable hazards were identified and defined and the PHAST Risk 7.11 was run for modeling the consequences.
Results: The most dangerous consequences of vinyl-chloride storage tanks include sudden fire and explosion in a complete tank rapture. In a full tank-explosion, the radiation of the explosion wave was once recorded as 79 meters with the death probability of 99 percent.
Conclusion: Each explosion or probable rapture in monomer vinyl-chloride tanks may cause terrible consequences. The vinyl-chloride monomer storage process is a high-risk process that is not tolerable. To reduce the risk, the consequence intensity, the consequence probability, and the exposure amount should be reduced. To this end, it is highly recommended to use smaller tanks, modify operational variables (capacity, pressure, temperature, etc.), and reduce the level of exposure in similar projects.

Published: February 2021

Introduction: Occupational skin diseases and hand contact dermatitis specifically are among the most common occupational diseases among the healthcare workers. Since surgical technologists have contact with allergens and irritant substances are more susceptible to hand contact dermatitis. Thus, the aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of occupational hand contact dermatitis and effective factors among surgical technologists in five educational centers affiliated to Mazandaran University of Medical Sciences.
Methods: The present cross-sectional study was conducted over 125 surgical technologists working in the hospitals affiliated with Mazandaran University of Medical Sciences who were selected via census sampling. Later, 97 participants who met the inclusion criteria were investigated. Data were collected by Nordic Occupational Skin questionnaire (NOSQ-2002) through interview and analyzed by SPSS software version 23.
Results: The findings indicated that 68% of the examined technologists were female and 57.7% were over 37 years old. The prevalence of hand dermatitis was 45.4% (44 people). The highest prevalence was observed at the back of hands (24.7%) and between fingers (17.5%).  Contact hand dermatitis had a significant correlation with the participants’ gender (p = 0.002), work experience (p = 0.028), and frequency of hand washes (p = 0.021). Moreover, having a history of eczema and allergy (P-Value≤ 0.01) was significantly effective in increasing hand contact dermatitis.
Conclusion: The prevalence of hand contact dermatitis is high among surgical technologists. Therefore, hospital managers are required to plan for preventive measures and control the current situation. Furthermore, future researchers are recommended to carry out more studies on allergic dermatitis.

Published: February 2021

Rationale: A  standard algorithm for the assessment of patients with breast trauma does not exist, as such trauma usually does not incur any significant health problems. However, according to existing clinical and work-up data and various radiological signs, posttraumatic abnormalities of the breast can mimic cancer lesions and complicate the differential diagnosis for a radiologist.Aim: To evaluate the potential of digital mammography and breast ultrasound examination in the identification of breast posttraumatic abnormalities and to describe their semiotics.Materials and methods: The study included 150  female patients aged 40  to 86  years (mean±SD, 60±11.9 years) with a history of breast trauma. Digital mammography with tomosynthesis (combined mode) and multiparametric ultrasound were able to identify breast abnormalities in 62 patients. The results of all assessments (n=62) were interpreted according to BI-RADS. Should any confirmation of the abnormalities be necessary, fine needle aspiration biopsy or core-biopsy with stereotaxic or ultrasound control were performed.Results: At mammography, the typical posttraumatic abnormality in the breast was fat necrosis (n=54). It was represented as nodular masses with round (20/34; 58.8%) or oval shape (13/34; 38.2%) and circumscribed margins. In most cases, the masses contained eggshell calcification (27/34; 79.4%). In 35.1%  (19/54) of the cases fat necrosis was represented by various calcifications. At ultrasound, fat necrosis could be identified as avascular (40/40; 100%), mostly round (26/40; 65.0%), less frequently oval (12/40; 30.0%), and hypoechoic (19/40; 47.5%) masses with circumscribed margins. Atypical signs of fat necrosis (BIRADS 4) were found in 16.1% (10/62) of the cases, in which  7  (11.2%) core-biopsies with ultrasound control and  3  (4.8%) stereotaxic biopsies were performed. In all the cases, breast fat necrosis was confirmed, with various ratios of fibrous and necrotic fat tissue and lymphoid infiltration.Conclusion: In most cases, standard radiological methods used in the diagnostic algorithm for posttraumatic breast lesions are sufficient for the diagnosis. In uncertain diagnostic cases, morphological verification seems necessary.

Published: February 2021

This review describes the state of the art on the role of various imaging modalities in pre-operative preparation to transcatheter implantation of biological aortic valve prosthesis, based on the literature data published from 2012 to 2020. One of the key source documents is the consensus of the European Society of Cardiovascular Radiology (ESCR) from 2019, providing the standardized protocols for scanning, measurements and description of the abnormalities identified. The final decision on the procedure of transcatheter aortic valve implantation should be based on the combination of all available diagnostic methods, clinical data and results of imaging by different modalities. Given the most comprehensive information content, the main diagnostic method is computed tomography. The radiologist and the multidisciplinary team should form a single entity, combining clinical and technical knowledge, discussing all the images and conclusions with other team members.

Education becomes an important aspect in the life of people and nation. Through this education, the character of students will be formed to contribute the development of Indonesian national identity. This value or character inculcation involves three important elements; family, school and community environment. For the in instilment of character in schools, it can be integrated in a learning process including character values to be grasped directly by students. One of ways the lecturer can do is by learning to appreciate fiction prose. Students will communicate intensely with various characters from the fiction prose they read, packaged interestingly to be studied. The learning fiction prose appreciation needs to be taught and developed based on culture because it is expected by studying culture, the students will grow in love with Indonesian national culture. In this course, students are asked to find cultural values in Indonesian fiction prose. By learning this value, love of national culture, especially Bahasa, is getting stronger. This is based on the spirit that a great nation is a nation that upholds its culture. Therefore, the use of fiction prose as a means of instilling a love of the Indonesian nation's culture has proven to be effective in the dignification and internationalization of Bahasa because its status as a national language and the language of the country must be upheld.

Meaning is the liaison of language with the outside world agreed by the speakers so that they can understand each other. On May 7, 2020 through the President's Presidential Secretariat YouTube channel, President Joko Widodo gave a speech on the implementation of the PSBB. In the speech, the President said "berdamai dengan COVID". The phrase becomes polemic in the community. Some people consider the word “berdamai” is not suitable to use to deal with COVID. Some other groups say that the word “berdamai” in the phrase "berdamai dengan COVID" is the correct use. This paper discusses the meaning of the word "berdamai" in the phrase "berdamai dengan COVID". Determination of meaning is based on the context of the phrase "Berdamai dengan COVID" or contextual meaning. Based on the context of the situation, the word “berdamai” in the phrase "berdamai dengan COVID" does not mean mutually agreeing, or stopping to attack each other as found in the KBBI. Rather it means trying to adjust to new circumstances so that you can feel peace.
