Authors: Sadewa Mohammad Aristo
Published: July 2022

AbstractThis paper aims to trace the history of the development of interpretation in the time of the Companions. This research uses a comparative-descriptive method with a qualitative approach. So it can be concluded that the development of the interpretation of the Companions period cannot be separated from the different conditions of the Companions in understanding the Qur'an. In addition, at that time there was also a division among the friends. The differences in understanding and division of the people have implications for the interpretation carried out. Differences in understanding do not have such a big impact, while the division of the ummah has a very big impact on interpretation. The division of the ummah which resulted in the emergence of distorted interpretations under the pretext of justifying their sect. The sources of interpretation carried out are the Qur'an, Hadith, Ijtihad, and Ahl-Kitab. AbstrakTulisan ini bertujuan untuk melacak sejarah perkembangan tafsir di masa sahabat. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode komparatif-deskriptif dengan pendekatan kulitatif.  Sehingga dapat disimpulkan bahwa perkembangan penafsiran masa sahabat tidak terlepas dari kondisi sahabat yang berbeda dalam memahami al-Qur’an. Ditambah lagi pada saat itu muncul juga sebuah perpecahan di antara para sahabat. Dari perbedaan pemahaman dan perpecahan umat tersebut berimplikasi kepada penafsiran yang dilakukan. Perbedaan pemahaman tidak berdampak begitu besar, sedangkan perpecahan umat dampaknya begitu besar bagi penafsiran. Perpecahan umat yang mengakibatkan munculnya penafsiran yang menyeleweng dengan dalih untuk menjustifikasi alirannya. Sumber-sumber penafsiran yang dilakukan ialah dengan al-Qur’an, Hadits, Ijtihad, dan Ahl-Kitab. Kata Kunci: Perbedaan Pemahaman; Perpecahan Umat; Tafsir Sahabat.

AbstractThis paper will try to see how the contribution of Imam Malik with his book al-Muwattha' to the development of hadith, and how the orientalist criticism of the book. In other words, how do orientalists criticize al-Muwattha' as the first generation of books in the writing of hadith. The research conducted in this study is a literature study using the book of al-Muwattha' Imam Malik as the primary source. The result of this research is Goldziher said that al-Muwattha' is more appropriately called a law book than a hadith book. Schact said: there is not a single authentic hadith contained in the book al-Muwattha', so that criticism has implications for doubting the authentic hadith as the word of the Prophet, and the Prophet there is not a single authentic hadith from the Prophet. AbstrakTulisan ini akan mencoba melihat bagaimana kontribusi Imam Malik dengan kitabnya al-Muwattha’ terhadap perkembangan hadis, dan bagaimana kritik orientalis terhadap kitab itu. Dengan kata lain, bagaimana orientalis mengkritik al-Muwattha’ sebagai kitab generasi pertama dalam penulisan hadis. Penelitian yang dilakukan dalam studi ini adalah studi literatur dengan menggunakan kitab al-Muwattha’ Imam Malik sebagai sumber primer. Hasil dari penelitian ini ialah Goldziher mengatakan bahwa al-Muwattha’ lebih tepat disebut kitab hukum daripada disebut kitab hadis. Schact mengatakan: tidak ada satupun hadis yang shahih yang terdapat dalam kitab al-Muwattha’, sehingga dari kritik itu berimplikasi pada keraguan terhadap hadis yang otentik sebagai sabda Nabi, dan Nabi tidak ada satu pun hadis yang otentik dari Nabi. Kata Kunci: Critics; Hadith Literature; Orientalists; Kitab al-Muwattha’.

Authors: Faizah Hanim , Sugandi Eko
Published: July 2022

In Indonesia, the implementation of online mathematics learning does not always run smoothly, there are various obstacles that occur, such as the lack of gadgets owned by teachers or students, internet networks are still weak, etc. So that the readiness of mathematics teachers in managing online learning is very necessary, especially in utilizing technology. Thus, it is necessary to analyze the readiness of mathematics teachers in carrying out online learning. In this study, we aim to describe (1) online mathematics learning in primary schools during the COVID-19 pandemic; (2) the ability of elementary school teachers to use technology during online learning, especially in learning mathematics; and (3) the content that teachers use to present online learning. We conducted research by distributing an online survey to 56 primary school teachers, over a period of approximately two weeks of data collection. The findings in this study are that most mathematics teachers in schools still use whatsApp and google meet or zoom media in conducting online learning, elementary school teachers still have not mastered learning technology well, and most teachers are still limited to using video downloads from YouTube, PPT and conventional books to present learning.
Effects of different farming systems and crop protection strategies on the health status and yield of carrots Daucus carota L. ssp. sativus
Authors: Cwalina-Ambroziak Bożena
Published: July 2022

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of farming systems on the health status of carrots cv. Koral and root yield components. The organic farming system promoted the spread of damping-off of seedlings in the first two wet growing seasons and Alternaria leaf blight in the last growing season with normal precipitation levels. At harvest, the severity of root diseases was low. During storage, carrot roots were susceptible to soft rot, Sclerotinia rot and dry rot. In the integrated farming system, the symptoms of mixed rot were more observed at harvest and after storage, and of dry rot after storage. In the organic farming system, the symptoms of dry rot were more noted at harvest, and the symptoms of crater rot were more observed after storage. During storage, the applied crop protection methods significantly suppressed mixed rot in the integrated farming system, and dry rot in the organic system. The isolation of potential pathogens from carrot petioles and roots confirmed their participation in the disease process. Negative correlations were found between the severity of Alternaria leaf blight vs. the marketable yield of carrots and single root weight in both production systems in selected years of the study.

Published: July 2022

Stachys schtschegleevii Sosn. is an endemic medicinal plant belonging to the Lamiaceae family and mainly grown in North-western Iran. Drought stress is an important factor in reducing the yield of medicinal herbs. Water-stress tolerance involves subtle changes in cellular biochemistry. It appears to be the result of the accumulation of compatible solutes and of chemical compositions that can be rapidly induced by osmotic stress. For this purpose, the effect of different irrigation regimes (well-watered and irrigation after depletion of 40% and 70% of field capacity (FC)) were studied in S. schtschegleevii. The experiment was conducted in a randomized complete block design in three replications. The results showed that water-deficit had negative effects on shoot dry matter, relative water content, and photosynthetic pigments of the exposed plants. The essential oil (EO) content under water-deficit had an increasing trend. Water-deficit significantly increased total phenol content, proline, H2O2, and malondialdehyde contents. Linalool, β-pinene oxide, α-campholenal and germacrene-D were the major compounds of essential oils (EOs) affected by water-deficit stress. Finally, although water deficiency reduces the shoot dry matter yield of the S. schtschegleevii, the accumulation of EO increased as a plant response to water-deficit stress.

An enormous increase in the application of wireless communication in recent decades has intensified research into consequent increase in human exposure to electromagnetic (EM) radiofrequency (RF) radiation fields and potential health effects, especially in school children and teenagers, and this paper gives a snap overview of current findings and recommendations of international expert bodies, with the emphasis on exposure from Wi-Fi technology indoor devices. Our analysis includes over 100 in vitro, animal, epidemiological, and exposure assessment studies (of which 37 in vivo and 30 covering Wi-Fi technologies). Only a small portion of published research papers refers to the “real” health impact of Wi-Fi technologies on children, because they are simply not available. Results from animal studies are rarely fully transferable to humans. As highly controlled laboratory exposure experiments do not reflect real physical interaction between RF radiation fields with biological tissue, dosimetry methods, protocols, and instrumentation need constant improvement. Several studies repeatedly confirmed thermal effect of RF field interaction with human tissue, but non-thermal effects remain dubious and unconfirmed.

Considering that some researchers point to a possible influence of air pollution on COVID-19 transmission, severity, and death rate, the aim of our in silico study was to determine the relationship between the key air pollutants [sulphur dioxide (SO), carbon monoxide (CO), 2particulate matter (PMx), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), and ozone (O3)] and COVID-19 complications using the publicly available toxicogenomic analytical and prediction tools: (i) Comparative Toxicogenomic Database (CTD) to identify genes common to air pollutants and COVID-19 complications; (ii) GeneMANIA to construct a network of these common and related genes; (iii) ToppGene Suite to extract the most important biological processes and molecular pathways; and (iv) DisGeNET to search for the top gene-disease pairs. SO2, CO, PMx, NO2, and O3 interacted with 6, 6, 18, 9, and 12 COVID-19-related genes, respectively. Four of these are common for all pollutants (IL10, IL6, IL1B, and TNF) and participate in most (77.64 %) physical interactions. Further analysis pointed to cytokine binding and cytokine-mediated signalling pathway as the most important molecular function and biological process, respectively. Other molecular functions and biological processes are mostly related to cytokine activity and inflammation, which might be connected to the cytokine storm and resulting COVID-19 complications. The final step singled out the link between the CEBPA gene and acute myelocytic leukaemia and between TNFRSF1A and TNF receptor-associated periodic fever syndrome. This indicates possible complications in COVID-19 patients suffering from these diseases, especially those living in urban areas with poor air quality.

Olanzapine is a thienobenzodiazepine class antipsychotic that strongly antagonises the 5-HT2A serotonin receptor, but acute poisonings are reported rarely. Symptoms of an overdose include disorder of consciousness, hypersalivation, myosis, and coma. Serum concentration higher than 0.1 mg/L is toxic, while concentration above 1 mg/L can be fatal. Here we report key data about 61 patients admitted to the National Poison Control Centre in Belgrade, Serbia over olanzapine poisoning in 2017 and 2018. The ingested doses ranged from 35 to 1680 mg, and time from ingestion to determination from two to 24 hours. In 34 patients olanzapine serum concentrations were in the therapeutic range and in 27 in the toxic range. In five patients they were higher than fatal, but only one patient died. The most common symptoms of poisoning were depressed consciousness (fluctuating from somnolence to coma), tachycardia, hypersalivation, hypotension, myosis, and high creatine kinase. All patients but one recovered fully after nonspecific detoxification and symptomatic and supportive therapy.

Strawberry tree (Arbutus unedo L.) honey (STH), also known as “bitter honey”, is a traditional medicine widely used in the Mediterranean area. Regardless of geographical origin, it usually has a very high content of phenolic compounds and strong antioxidant capacity. Yet, little is still known about the effects of STH, its phenolic extract (STHE), and its main bioactive compound – homogentisic acid (HGA) – at the cell level. The aim of this study was to estimate total phenolic content, DPPH radical scavenging activity, and ferric reducing antioxidant power of STH made in Croatia and investigate cytotoxic and pro-oxidative effects of STH, STHE and HGA on three human cell lines: tongue squamous cell carcinoma (CAL 27), hepatocellular carcinoma (HepG2), and epithelial colorectal adenocarcinoma cells (Caco-2) cells. These substances were tested at four concentrations (0.5–5× average human daily intake of STH) and over 30 min and 1 and 2 h. Croatian STH had a total phenolic content of 1.67 g gallic acid equivalents (GAE) per kg of honey, DPPH radical scavenging activity of 2.96 mmol Trolox equivalents (TE) per kg of honey, and ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) of 13.5 mmol Fe2+ per kg of honey. Our results show no clear and consistent time- or concentration-dependent cytotoxicity in any of the cell lines. ROS levels in all the three cell types at almost all exposure times were not significantly higher than control. The most important observation is that the tested substances have low cytotoxicity and high biocompatibility, regardless of concentration, which is a good starting point for further research of their biological effects in other models.

Authors: Wheeler Terry A. , Dotray Jessica , Monclova-Santana Cecilia
Published: July 2022

Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) cultivar trials were conducted in four fields (6 trials total) with Meloidogyne incognita (Mi)/Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. vasinfectum (Fov) from 2019 to 2021. Cotton cultivars were divided into groups based on company/Mi resistance: S = susceptible to Mi; R-FM, R-DP, and R-PHY = resistance to Mi in FiberMax®, Deltapine®, and Phytogen® cultivars, respectively; ST 4946GLB2 (moderate resistance to Mi and observed field tolerance to Fov); and ST 5600B2XF (resistance to Mi). The S and R-FM groups had the highest transformed Mi densities LOG10(Mi + 1) (LMi = 3.22 and 3.01, respectively), while R-DP and R-PHY had the lowest LMi (2.21 and 1.85, respectively). Plant mortality (%) was higher for R-DP (28.1%) than for all other groups except ST 5600B2XF (24.8%). Mi-susceptible cultivars averaged 23.3% mortality. Relative yield (0-1 scale) was higher for ST 4946GLB2 (0.706) and R-PHY (0.635) than for R-DP (0.530), ST 5600B2XF (0.578), and S (0.491). All groups except R-DP averaged higher relative yield than the susceptible cultivars. ST 4946GLB2 had the lowest mortality (16.5%) and highest relative yield, while R-DP cultivars had the highest mortality and no difference in relative yield from the Mi-susceptible cultivars. The group of R-DP cultivars had excellent Mi resistance but were susceptible to Fov. No cultivars were identified with high resistance to Fov.

Published: July 2022

Background and Objetives

Hyperuricemia (HUA) and gout seriously influence patients’ quality of life. The current study was performed to investigate the prevalence of HUA and gout and the related risk factors in Chinese adults.

Methods

Data were collected from the National Survey of Thyroid Disorders and Diabetes (the Thyroid Disease, Iodine Status, and Diabetes National Epidemiological survey [TIDE]), a cross-sectional investigation conducted during 2015–2017. Using a random, multistage, and stratified sampling strategy, a representative sample (78,130 participants aged 18 years and above) was selected from the general population in 31 provinces of mainland China. The weighted prevalence rates of HUA and gout were calculated, and the related risk factors were analyzed.

Results

The weighted prevalence rates of HUA and gout in Chinese adults were 17.7% and 3.2%, respectively. The prevalence of HUA in males linearly decreased with age, while the prevalence in females showed the opposite trend (both P for trend < 0.01). The prevalence rate of gout exhibited a rising tendency with age in both genders (both P for trend < 0.05). The HUA and gout prevalence rates in males were the highest in Han and Tibetan nationalities, respectively. Logistic regression analysis showed that the morbidities of HUA and gout were differentially associated with age, residence location, nationality, smoking, and other complicating metabolic diseases in the two genders.

Conclusions

There are relatively high prevalence rates of gout and HUA in China, which is currently a developing country. Reducing their burden has become an urgent issue for Chinese people.

Published: July 2022

This paper presents a literature review and perspectives regarding the utilization of Mecanum wheels as running systems for platforms and robots designed for diverse special applications. A mobile platform equipped with four or more Mecanum wheels has the capability of moving with fast reactions in any direction without needing a special steering system having so the property of being omnidirectional. Therefore, one of the greatest advantages of such vehicles is to be highly maneuverable which makes them suitable fortight environments such as industrial plants or warehouses where they are usually implemented as autonomous guided vehicles. However, the utilization of Mecanum wheels as part of running systems for different types of platforms is and will be more and more applicable for special applications in domains such as military, medical, civil engineering, or even space exploration. This paper aims to highlight the applicability of Mecanum wheels in special domains based on the advantages and disadvantages of such running systems.
Research Regarding the Properties and Combustion Performance of a Thermal Decoy Pyrotechnic Composition
Authors: Iorga Ovidiu , Epure Cristiana , Marin Alexandru , Moşteanu Dănuț-Eugeniu
Published: July 2022

The present research focuses on the characterisation of a new formulation for thermal decoy pyrotechnic composition, as an alternative to magnesium-teflon-viton (MTV) formulations. The oxidant used in the composition is potassium perchlorate, given its good thermal stability and high percentage of available oxygen. The fuel of choice is magnalium (alloy of Al-Mg 50-50 % wt.), as an higher energy alternative to magnesium. The binder used in the composition is a blend of solvent free polyurethane and a chlorinated rubber. The main advantages of this composition are related to the high thermal stability, the ease of processing, by squeeze casting method and its good combustion performance (temperature and burn rate profile). The use of chlorinated rubber in the composition is beneficial, as a sensible increase in the burn rate and combustion temperature is observed. The morphological properties and chemical composition of the material is evidenced by SEM-EDS analysis while the burn rate and combustion temperature is recorded with a high speed thermal camera. The combustion heat and specific volume is calculated with a dedicated thermochemical code while the results are validated in experimental determinations. The presented formulation can represent a more safe and cost effective material to be used in thermal countermeasure ammunitions.

Published: July 2022

In this article, we present the implementation of a Software Defined Radio (SDR) remote sensor management solution for electromagnetic spectrum monitoring using web interfaces. The proposed sensor is developed on an SDR platform - USRP-2932 with LTE standard specific signal monitoring capabilities. Two solutions have been implemented for remote control and visualization of the sensor parameters: by using VNC (Virtual Network Computing) software for full remote access and by implementing in GNU Radio the Bokeh python library, which allows visualization of graphs and charts directly through a web GUI. For accessing the sensor via the backbone network of an Internet Service Provider (ISP), in both cases a Virtual Private Network (VPN) was set up using the Point-to-Point Tunnelling Protocol (PPTP) solution.

Autolume-Live: Turning GANs into a Live VJing tool
Authors: Kraasch Jonas , Pasquier Philippe
Published: July 2022

Creative Artificial Intelligence is increasingly used to generate static and animat- ed visuals. While there are a host of systems to generate images, videos and music videos, there is a lack of real time video synthesizers for live music per- formances. To address this gap, we propose Autolume-Live, the first GAN-based live VJing-system for controllable video generation. By analysing the needs of VJs and current Deep Learning-based audio-visual systems, we developed a live video synthesiser that extracts musical features, such as the amplitude, pitch and onset strength, and allows mapping these to generate trajectories in the frame latent space. These frames can further be manipulated through a MIDI In- terface which allows the user to improvise, manipulate the Neural Network and adjust the output to accompany live music performances in a co-creative way.
Data Visualization as Portraiture: An analysis of the use of personal data in the visual representation of identity
Authors: Sampaio Catarina , Ribas Luísa
Published: July 2022

This paper analyses aesthetic and design artefacts that represent the identity of an individual through the visualization of personal data, focusing on their reflexive, documental, and biographical potential. To this end, it analyses the concepts, data types, design methodologies, and visualization techniques, as well as the experiential characteristics of these artefacts. This analysis is part of an ongoing research that explores data visualization techniques for the rep- resentation of personal identity, highlighting the potential of using personal data as a raw material for portraiture. The research is motivated by the current context of technological ubiquity, wherein virtually all human activities inevita- bly leave a digital trace. It explores the potential of these records of personal data to convey characteristics of identity that are relevant in private and social spheres. As such, it also points to a reconceptualization of portraiture driven by computational media, as the representation of personal identity through the use of personal data.

Published: July 2022

As the tradition of Portuguese embroidery faces a struggle for preservation and valorization, artistic research can reinvigorate its status in the cultural system, through an encounter between tradition and modernity. Emerging digital art practice embodies code as a medium for artistic expression and promotes a re- casting of both the artisan’s and the designer’s work, pushing them to discover new domains of artistic creation and to adopt new materials and materialities.
This paper presents a practical enquiry on the application of Soft Circuits as raw material, tool and content in the process of transforming traditional Por- tuguese embroidery into digital interactive artifacts, converging Art and Science, enhancing artisan skills, and dealing with issues of ethics, participation/collabo- ration, social innovation and, ultimately, cultural sustainability.
Пойменные поселения Западного Закамья в XI – начале XV в. и кочевники
Authors: Руденко Константин Александрович
Published: July 2022

В статье рассматриваются вопросы, связанные с формированием поселенческой структуры в пойме нижнего течения р. Камы в XI – начале XV в. и роли, которую играли в этом процессе кочевники. Автор утверждает, что сложившаяся во второй половине Х в. структура поселений в этом районе Волжской Булгарии была сильно нарушена в результате булгаро - гузской, а затем булгаро -кыпчакской конфронтации в конце XI – первой половине XII в. Но произошли только некоторые изменений в материальной культуре населения, оставшегося на данной территории. Ситуация после монгольского нашествия была совершенно другой. Монголы и кипчаки заняли пойму Волги и Камы и находились здесь сезонно, а с середины XIV в. постоянно. Поселения типа «Песчаный остров», близ мест их кочевок возникали сначала из мигрантов из Пермского Предуралья (последняя треть XIII в.), а в XIV в. часть их пополнилась жителями Булгара и русскими пленниками.

This study aims to examine how financial literacy affects financial inclusion through social capital mediation. This study uses 150 respondents who have experience, in the investment field in the Indonesian capital market. The independent variable in this study is financial literacy, using four dimensions: skill, behavior, knowledge, and attitude. The mediating variable is social capital using four dimensions (i.e., trust, bonding & bridging, and collective action). At the same time, the dependent variable in this study is financial inclusion, which has four dimensions (i.e., access, quality, usage, and welfare). The result of this research is that social capital has a significant positive effect on financial literacy and financial inclusion, but in this study, social capital has a partial mediating effect. The higher a person's financial literacy, the higher the social capital that person has. The higher a person's financial literacy, the higher the financial inclusion that person has. Our study result states that the higher a person’s financial literacy, the higher the person’s social capital. Besides, the higher a person’s financial literacy, the higher the financial inclusion.

Introduction. The presence of endothelial dysfunction contributes to the progression of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and the development of cardiovascular diseases. However, microcirculatory signs in the combination of RA with hypertension have not been studied enough.

Objective – to clarify the contribution of concomitant hypertension in the formation of microcirculatory disorders in patients with RA.

Materials and methods. The observational study involved 123 patients of both sexes from 18 to 72 years old (103 – the study group with verified RA, 23 – the control group, representing relatively healthy volunteers). Hypertension occurred in 55.3 % of patients. Laser Doppler flowmetry was performed to assess vasomotor function. Both the initial perfusion parameters were studied with the calculation of the amplitude-frequency spectrum, as well as an occlusive test and a test with acetylcholine iontophoresis. Initial perfusion parameters were studied with time– frequency analysis, an arterial occlusion test and an acetylcholine iontophoresis test were performed.

Results. Patients with concomitant hypertension against the background of RA had a more pronounced decrease in the amplitudes of the endothelial (p=0.036) and neurogenic (NC) (p=0.005) components of the spectrum, an increase in respiratory modulation (RM) (p=0.002), as well as a decrease in the reserve of capillary blood flow (p=0.010) and shortened time to perfusion half-restoration (p=0.042) in the occlusion test. However, there were no significant differences between the groups in terms of the acetylcholine iontophoresis test (p≥0.05). The relationship between the RM amplitude and cardiovascular risk (CVR) was established according to the SCORE (ρ=0.269; p=0.022), as well as with systolic (ρ=0.324; p=0.005) and diastolic (ρ=0.234; p=0.045) blood pressure was established. An assessment of the RM amplitude predicted the presence of concomitant hypertension with a sensitivity of 72.5 % and a specificity of 75 % (p=0.001).

Conclusion. The presence of concomitant hypertension against the background of RA was associated with more pronounced vasomotor dysfunction, as well as with the presence of venular hypertension (VH), which is the pathogenetic link of hypertension. At the same time, an increase in the amplitude of the RM, which reflects VH, allows it to be used as an early additional prognostic marker for the presence of concomitant hypertension and increased CVR in patients with RA.

Introduction. Physical activity is often used in rehabilitation to restore cognitive function after cerebral blood flow impairment and typological features like baseline cognitive ability may alter their effectiveness.

The aim was to evaluate the expression of nNOS and NeuN in the large hemisphere cortex in the cerebral hypoperfusion occurrence in rats having different scores in the Morris maze.

Materials and methods. Cerebral hypoperfusion was simulated by bilateral ligation of the common carotid arteries. Before surgery, Wistar rats were divided into equal subgroups with high (HCA) and low levels of cognitive ability (LCA) according to the results of Morris maze testing. Animals were removed from the experiment at 8, 21, 35, 60, and 90 days after surgery, a total of 184 rats, 24 formed the control group and 80 formed the cerebral hypoperfusion subgroup with 80 animals undergoing short-term swimming daily starting on day 7 of the experiment.

Results. We revealed the earlier changes in HCA animals (8th day of the experiment) induced by cerebral hypoperfusion accompanied by a more intense nNOS-positive neurons density reduction to 47 % of control values, the length of their processes, and an increase in pericarion area. In LCA the decrease of density was only 75 % of control values and pericarion area does not differ from control values. At later periods on the 60 and 90 days of the experiment LCA demonstrates the preservation of the neurons density and greater length of their processes (67 % of the control subgroup values).

Conclusion. HCA is a risk factor for damage of nNOS-positive neurons in cerebral hypoperfusion. Physical exercise more effectively decreases nNOS expression in animals with HCA, which may be one of the sanogenetic mechanisms of this factor.

The problems considered in the review are: mechanisms of formation of physiological and pathological endothelium phenotypes, endothelium involvment in hematovascular homeostasis, immune processes, inflammation, systemic inflammatory response. The reversibility of endothelial dysfunction, participation in hematovascular homeostasis, immune processes, inflammation, systemic inflammatory reaction, etc. are discussed. The validity conventional term «endotheliitis» for endothelial dysfunction in various diseases, including COVID-19 is analysed. We accept that endothelial dysfunction is a kind of pathological condition having both common features in many diseases and some features depending on the dominance of a particular phenotype (in sepsis, hypovolemic shock, etc.). The concept of endothelial dysfunction as the universal mechanism of endogenization and generalization of pathological process is proved. The development of methods affected on the phenotype and mechanisms of endothelial remodeling is a promising area of scientific research.

Introduction. Liver hemodynamics age-related features studying is promising area of portal and caudal vena cava and hepsatic artery of rats hemodynamics exploration.

Aim was to determine qualitative and quantitative hemodynamic paremeters of the laboratory rats caudal vena cava of different genders and ages.

Materials and methods. The study was conducted on 60 mongrel rats (males and females, 120–170 g) divided into three age groups. The first group included 20 rats aged 1 month, the second – 20 rats aged 6–12 months and the third – 20 rats aged more than 18–24 months. The study of caudal vena cava qualitative and quantitative hemodynamic parameters was performed by ultrasound scanners. Animals were anaesthesized by zoletil-xylazine. Digital data were processed by methods of variational statistics.

Results. All animals showed the antegrade caudal vena cava blood flow. The spectrum of blood flow differed in the number, shape of teeth and phase. The most animals showed three-phase spectrum not depend on the animals gender and age. The diameter of the vein did not depend on the gender. In the I and II age groups, the predominance of the volumetric blood flow rate in the CPV in males compared with females was within 10 % (R=0.98 and R=0.37, respectively), in the III age group, the relationship was not statistically significant (R=–0.03). The diameter and maximum systolic blood flow velocity in the caudal vena cava increased slightly (within 3 %) with the age of the animals (R=0.64 and R=0.43, respectively). Volumetric blood flow rate decreased within 4 % with increasing age (R=0.42).

Conclusion. The spectrum of rats caudal vena cava blood flow differed in the number, shape of waves and phase. In most animals it was three-phase. In all animals the direction of blood flow was antegrade. The phase of the spectrum was not affected by the animals gender and age. There was no statistically significant dependence of the diameter and linear velocity of blood flow on the gender. The volumetric blood flow rate was slightly higher in males (within 10 %) compared to females. The diameter and the maximum systolic blood flow velocity increased slightly (within 3 %) with the age of the animals. The indicator of the volumetric blood flow rate decreased within 4 % with increasing age.
Atypical case of ischemic mitral regurgitation: pathogenetically based treatment
Authors: Krylov V. V.
Published: July 2022

Introduction. The evolution of the study of mitral valve ischemic dysfunction influenced by fundamental and experimental research in recent years has led to a change of mitral leaflets role as a static component of the mitral valve in the pathogenesis of ischemic mitral regurgitation especially in the chronic myocardial ischemia.

Objective. We report the clinical case of acute ischemic mitral regurgitation as a result of a chord rupture of the PML in a patient with unspecified duration of coronary artery disease without acute coronary syndrome and previous myocardial infarction including all stages of the diagnostic search and the results of surgical treatment.

Conclusion. While performing reconstructive correction of the ischemic mitral regurgitation the possibility of reverse remodeling of the leaflets should be considered in case of removal the myocardial ischemia triggering factor. And therefore it is necessary to perform a full and adequate myocardial revascularization that combined with a full correction of all morphofunctional mitral valve changes guarantees the freedom from residual and recurrent mitral regurgitation.

Diplomacia de defensa: herramienta para la resolución de conflictos
Authors: Vargas-Villamizar Carlos Enrique
Published: July 2022

Varios autores se han aventurado a dar definiciones de diplomacia de defensa; sin embargo, este término no cuenta con un consenso lo suficientemente consolidado para ofrecer una definición unificada. No obstante, la diplomacia de defensa ha probado fortalecer las acciones de la diplomacia multilateral y bilateral de las naciones con objetivos tendientes a garantizar la resolución pacífica de conflictos. Dicho esto, se puede entender la diplomacia militar como una herramienta fundamental, necesaria y práctica, dadas sus particularidades, evidenciadas, a su vez, en su desarrollo y su estructuración dentro de la política exterior de los Estados. A partir del análisis de caso del rompimiento de relaciones diplomáticas entre Colombia y Ecuador, en 2008, se va a demostrar la pertinencia de la diplomacia ejercida por las instituciones de defensa para mantener el flujo de información y garantizar la resolución pacífica de conflictos.

El artículo pretende señalar la validez y la vigencia de la diplomacia de defensa como herramienta efectiva dentro de la práctica de la política exterior de los Estados abordando, de forma tangencial, la evolución historiográfica del concepto y su aplicación en diversos eventos de las relaciones internacionales. En conclusión, es observable el actuar de la diplomacia de defensa en el diario relacionamiento de naciones aliadas, en eventos de crisis o como muestra del estrecho nivel de confianza entre países, lo cual llega a establecer mecanismos insolubles e inamovibles que resultan estratégicos en los momentos de mayor tensión para garantizar la máxima internacional de la paz.
