Authors: Zimens Ekaterina , Sukhanova Elena , Belykh Olga
Published: March 2020

This is the first time the data on the antibiotic resistance of heterotrophic bacteria were obtained. These bacteria were isolated from fouling of stone substrates and also from «healthy» and «diseased» sponges of Lake Baikal. We have analysed 377 strains for the resistance to 11 antimicrobial agents. 133 of them were isolated from the water column, 277 from stone fouling, 17 from «healthy» sponges, and 20 from «diseased» sponges of Lake Baikal. We have revealed 9 sensitive strains and 36 strains resistant to all antibiotics. A high percentage of bacterial strains from both plankton (34–82 %) and periphyton (23–94 %) are resistant to a number of broad-spectrum antibiotics. At the same time, they have different sensitivity to azithromycin, vancomycin, tetracycline, and meropenem. The strains isolated from periphyton showed the most effective antimicrobial activity to azithromycin, tetracycline and meroperem; those isolated from water showed the most effective antimicrobial activity to meroperem. The strains sensitive to antibiotics (18–71 %) prevail in the microbial community of «healthy» sponges. At the same time, the microbial community of «diseased» sponges has a larger share of sensitive strains, which accounts for 30–75 %. The proportion of resistant strains with gram-negative cell wall is higher for most antibiotics compared to the gram-positive bacteria.

Authors: Tayier Xiamilijiang , Kumar Singh Shashank , Zhang Guoliang , Zhang Haiyang
Published: March 2020

Purpose: To explore the relationship between Transforming Growth Factor-beta1 (TGF-β1) and its receptor, Transforming Growth Factor-beta Receptor1 (TGFBR1) and the occurrence and development of gastric carcinoma. Patients and methods: Human gastric cancer cells were cultured, their mRNAs were isolated, and the expression of TGFBR1 was knockdown by transfection. The over expression plasmid of TGFBR1 was designed. TGFBR1 mRNA and its protein level were analyzed by Quantitative Real-Time Polymerase Chain Reaction (qRT-PCR) and Western blot. The proliferation and migration of tumor cells were measured. Furthermore, 434 samples were selected including gastric cancer tissues, adjacent tissues and normal gastric mucosa tissues, from gastric cancer resection patients, and the expression of TGF-β1 was detected by Immunohistochemistry (IHC) analysis and the scores were given respectively. The positive grades were given according to the scores and grouped for statistical analysis. Results: The results of cell proliferation assay and Transwell migration assay analysis showed that the silencing of TGFBR1 significantly promoted the proliferation and migration of SGC-7901 cells, while the over expression of TGFBR1 inhibited the proliferation and migration of SGC-7901 cells. The positive rate of TGF-β1 expression in gastric cancer tissues was significantly higher than that in normal gastric mucosa tissues and paracancerous tissues; and the higher the expression of TGF-β1, the lower the degree of differentiation of malignant tumor and later the stage of TNM, was also revealed, while P value less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Conclusion: This study shows that TGF-β1 and TGFBR1 is involved in the occurrence and development of gastric cancer. The expression of TGF-β1 is positively correlated with the occurrence and development of gastric cancer, and the decrease or absence of the expression of its receptor TGFBR1 is related to the proliferation and migration of gastric cancer cells.

Published: March 2020

Introduction: Occupational stress is inevitable, but prolonged and intense can lead to serious health problems. Neglecting this significant aspect of work and inadequate treatment of the first indicators results in the reduced working capacity of healthcare professionals.

Material and methods: Assessing working conditions of 100 healthcare professionals regarding stress impact on empathy and workability was the primary goal of this study. A survey was conducted to identify differences between work in intensive care units and other clinical departments all related to empathy, workability, and stress perceiving to determine what is a better predictor of workability.

Results: In the research group “intensive care units”, significantly lower empathy quotients, poorer workability, and different stressors were registered compared to research groups named “other departments”.

Conclusion: The main conclusion of the study states different dynamics in the working environment of intensive care units compared to other departments that could potentially harm the personal capacity of healthcare professionals.

Googling the City: In Search of the Public Interest on Toronto’s ‘Smart’ Waterfront
Authors: Morgan Kevin , Webb Brian
Published: March 2020

Toronto’s Quayside waterfront regeneration project has become an international reference point for the burgeoning debate about the scope and limits of the digitally enabled ‘smart city’ narrative. The project signals the entry of a Google affiliate into the realm of ‘smart urbanism’ in the most dramatic fashion imaginable, by allowing them to potentially realise their long-running dream for “someone to give us a city and put us in charge.” This article aims to understand this on-going ‘smart city’ experiment through an exploration of the ways in which ‘techno-centric’ narratives and proposed ‘disruptive’ urban innovations are being contested by the city’s civic society. To do this, the article traces the origins and evolution of the partnership between Waterfront Toronto and Sidewalk Labs and identifies the key issues that have exercised local critics of the plan, including the public/private balance of power, governance, and the planning process. Despite more citizen-centric efforts, there remains a need for appropriate advocates to protect and promote the wider public interest to moderate the tensions that exist between techno-centric and citizen-centric dimensions of smart cities.
EU Smart City Lighthouse Projects between Top-Down Strategies and Local Legitimation: The Case of Hamburg
Authors: Lange Katharina , Knieling Jörg
Published: March 2020

The concept of the smart city has become increasingly popular in recent years and a large number of cities globally follow smart city strategies. By awarding subsidies in the Horizon 2020 programme, the European Union (EU) has taken on an influential role in how smart city projects are conceived and implemented in European municipalities. Using the example of the smart city pilot project mySMARTLife in Hamburg, the purpose of this article is to examine the area of tension between strategically pursuing own objectives and adjustment to external provisions of the EU funding framework. In a qualitative single case study, the article analyses what implications the project mySMARTLife has on urban development practice and local governance arrangements in Hamburg. Examining current literature on smart cities from the perspective of multi-level governance and presenting the current state of research dealing with EU smart city projects, a theoretical framework is developed. The analysis reveals that, due to the EU funding framework, precise project contents are contractually defined at an early stage when local stakeholders have limited involvement in this process. Furthermore, the analysis shows that the EU smart city funding in the project mySMARTLife is more limited to the implementation of individual interventions than to a comprehensive smart city strategy. As a result, this article considers EU-funded smart city initiatives as experimental fields that enable cities to gain experiences that can be incorporated into local strategic development objectives.
How Does ICT Expansion Drive “Smart” Urban Growth? A Case Study of Nanjing, China
Authors: Cai Zipan , Cvetkovic Vladimir , Page Jessica
Published: March 2020

In the context of accelerated urbanization, socioeconomic development, and population growth, as well as the rapid advancement of information and communication technology (ICT), urban land is rapidly expanding worldwide. Unplanned urban growth has led to the low utilization efficiency of land resources. Also, ecological and agricultural lands are continuously sacrificed for urban construction, which in the long-term may severely impact the health of citizens in cities. A thorough understanding of the mechanisms and driving forces of a city’s urban land use changes, including the influence of ICT development, is therefore crucial to the formation of optimal and feasible urban planning in the new era. Taking Nanjing as a study case, this article attempts to explore the measurable “smart” driving indicators of urban land use change and analyze the tapestry of the relationship between these and urban land use change. Different from the traditional linear regression analysis method of driving force of urban land use change, this study focuses on the interaction relationship and the underlying causal relationship among various “smart” driving factors, so it adopts a fuzzy statistical method, namely the grey relational analysis (GRA). Through the integration of literature research and known effective data, five categories of “smart” indicators have been taken as the primary driving factors: industry and economy, transportation, humanities and science, ICT systems, and environmental management. The results show that these indicators have different impacts on driving urban built-up land growth. Accordingly, optimization possibilities and recommendations for development strategies are proposed to realize a “smarter” development direction in Nanjing. This article confirms the effectiveness of GRA for studies on the driving mechanisms of urban land use change and provides a theoretical basis for the development goals of a smart city.
RESÍDUOS DE EQUIPAMENTOS ELETROELETRÔNICOS: UM DIAGNÓSTICO DA DESTINAÇÃO NA PERCEPÇÃO DO CONSUMIDOR FINAL DE VILHENA/RO ## WASTE OF ELECTRO-ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT: A DIAGNOSTIC OF THE DESTINATION IN PERCEPTION OF THE VILHENA/RO FINAL CONSUMER

Published: March 2020

Os Resíduos de Equipamentos Eletroeletrônicos (REEE) apresentam uma das mais elevadas taxas de crescimento do mundo, devido a crescente popularização e obsolescência programada dos equipamentos elétricos e eletrônicos. A grande preocupação frente a esse assunto é a forma de descarte desses equipamentos e os impactos que podem causar à humanidade e ao meio ambiente, devido seu alto grau de periculosidade, por possuírem em sua estrutura metais pesados altamente tóxicos, como o chumbo e o mercúrio. O consumidor final, como um dos atores da logística reversa, tem papel fundamental no fluxo reverso dos REEE, logo, o entendimento de sua percepção quanto ao descarte de REEE pode auxiliar na melhoria das políticas públicas e iniciativas privadas da implantação de um sistema de logística reversa (SLR) bem-sucedido. Este estudo tem como objetivo diagnosticar a destinação dada aos REEE pelos residentes, enquanto consumidores finais. Trata-se de uma pesquisa de campo, cujos dados foram coletados por meio de entrevistas semiestruturadas aplicadas em 100 domicílios do município de Vilhena, estado de Rondônia, Região Amazônica brasileira. Os resultados descritivos demonstraram que a maioria dos entrevistados, mesmo revelando um nível de conscientização ambiental satisfatório, não sabe como descartar seus REEE, o que acarreta no descarte para o lixo comum. Por fim, observou-se uma assimetria informacional entre os cidadãos de Vilhena e o poder público municipal, no sentido de tornar públicos, visíveis e acessíveis os pontos de coleta de REEE implantados.

Published: March 2020

Bakterilerde
gen fonksiyonlarının bulunması ve fenotipik çalışmalarının yapılabilmesi için
mutantların oluşturulması gerekmektedir. Bazı durumlarda, birden fazla gen
açısından mutant olan suşlar oluşturulmalıdır çünkü bazı spesifik aktiviteler
birden fazla gen tarafından kodlanmaktadır. P1 fajı, Escherichia coli'de, ikili, üçlü veya çoklu mutantların
oluşturulmasında başvurulan, genelleştirilmiş bir transdüksiyon fajıdır. Bu
faj, gelişimi sırasında, E. coli kromozomunun
parçalarını (her bir partikülde genomun yaklaşık % 2'si olmak üzere), rastgele
bir şekilde faj kafasına paketleyebilmektedir. E. coli DNA’sını içeren fajlar, içerdikleri DNA parçalarını, alıcı
bakteri hücrelerine enjekte edebilmektedir. Verici ve alıcı DNA bölgeleri
arasındaki benzerlik ve seçici bir markır yardımıyla, transdüktanlar’ın elde
edilmesi mümkün olmaktadır. Transdüksiyon için tercihen, P1 fajının, virülan
bir türevi (P1vir) kullanılmaktadır, çünkü bu form, bakterinin genomuna entegre
olamamaktadır. Fajın bu özelliğinin kullanılmasıyla geliştirilen tekniklerden
birisi, P1 transdüksiyon tekniği olarak adlandırılmaktadır. Rekombinasyon
teknolojisinde kullanılan bu teknik, E.
coli genomuna ait DNA parçalarının, suşlar arasında taşınmasını
sağlamaktadır.

Bu
çalışmada, optimize ettiğimiz P1 transdüksiyon metodolojisinin, deneysel akış
ve yeterli detaylarla birlikte, Türk bilim camiasına, ana dilimizde sunulması
amaçlanmıştır. Bunun için, KEIO koleksiyonundan elde edilen dört adet tekli gen
mutantları kullanılmıştır. İlk olarak, kanamisin (Kan) duyarlı bir alıcı suş
oluşturmak için, her bir mutant suştan, Kan gen kasetleri çıkarılmıştır. KanR
kasetlerine sahip diğer dört adet KEIO mutant suşu, donör suşlar olarak
kullanılmış ve P1 fajı bu suşlar ile kültür edilerek, lizatlar elde edilmiştir.
Bu lizatlar ve alıcı suşlar daha sonra, lizatlardaki fazjların içerdikleri DNA
parçalarını, alıcı suş genomuna entegre edebilmesi için, transdüksiyona tabii
tutulmuştur. Kanamisin ile seleksiyon sonucu, yeni mutant suşlar olan ikili
mutantlar elde edilmiştir. Sonuçta, isimleri DtsgAugpA, DyhdTompA, DugpAmdtG
ve DaroGmalF olan, dört adet
ikili mutant oluşturulmuştur. Deneysel akıştaki ilgili protokoller ve sonuçlara
ait detaylar sunulmuş ve tartışılmıştır.

Authors: De Almeida Luiz Antônio Freitas
Published: March 2020

Este artigo aborda a judicialização da saúde, um fenômeno que tem gerado estudos em diversas perspectivas. O Supremo Tribunal Federal julgará dois Recursos Extraordinários (n. 566.471/RN e n. 657.718/MG) de grande importância para orientar as instâncias inferiores, o que acentua a atualidade do tema.No Brasil, os princípios jurídicos, especialmente pelo contributo da teoria dos princípios de Robert Alexy, estão sendo aplicados nos tribunais para decidir casos concretos. No caso do direito à saúde, invoca-se esse princípio para determinar a entrega de prestações não constantes do conjunto ofertado no Sistema Único de Saúde. A ponderação utilizada, porém, carece de uma estruturação formal que é oferecida pela norma da proporcionalidade, um princípio jurídico na opinião de David Duarte, seguida neste estudo. Este artigo sugere como aplicar o teste de proporcionalidade para sindicar o direito à saúde e a assistência sanitária integral, princípio material do Sistema Único de Saúde, com apoio no conceito de saúde oferecido por Norman Daniels.Identifica-se o tipo de conflito normativo levado aos tribunais, com a estruturação adequada da norma da proporcionalidade para escrutinar os deveres positivos decorrentes do direito à saúde, de modo a concluir em que hipótese haverá uma proteção insuficiente.
INDEPENDÊNCIA COMO INDIFERENÇA: A FACE JURÍDICA DA MULTIPLICIDADE INSTITUCIONAL EM CASOS DE CORRUPÇÃO
Authors: Machado Maira Rocha
Published: March 2020

Este texto discute a multiplicidade institucional no campo da corrupção com base em um exercício de categorização das normas que regulam a interação entre diferentes áreas do direito (civil, penal e administrativa). O objetivo é identificar quais são e como estão formuladas as normas que se referem a outras possibilidades de responsabilizar e sancionar uma mesma conduta. Partindo do referencial teórico desenvolvido por Álvaro Pires para descrever normas penais, o texto busca expandir seu alcance para contemplar o conjunto da atividade sancionatória estatal. Conjuga-se a este exercício o modo como a doutrina trata a questão por intermédio do princípio "ne bis in idem" e da "independências das esferas". A pesquisa permitiu identificar normas com conteúdos muito distintos e zonas de interface entre áreas jurídicas sem regulamentação explícita. Combinado com a sistematização doutrinária, o quadro normativo permitiu associar a ideia de "independência das esferas" com uma postura de indiferença em relação às outras áreas. Para concluir, o texto aponta que a ampliação do alcance da ideia de ne bis in idem para o conjunto da atuação sancionatória estatal desafia esta independência como indiferença, abrindo espaço de reflexão e reconstrução jurídica no âmbito da atividade legislativa e da atuação jurisdicional.

Fingerprintbasedsecurity became a reliable enough system because of itsaccuracy level, safe, secure, and comfortable to be used ashousing security system identification. This research aimed todevelop a security system based on fingerprint biometric takenfrom previous researches by optimizing and upgrading theprevious weaknesses. This security system could be a solutionto a robbery that used Arduino UNO Atmega328P CH340 R3Board Micro USB port. The inputs were fingerprint sensor, 4x5keypad, and magnetic sensor, whereas the outputs were 12 Vsolenoid, 16x2 LCD, GSM SIM800L module, LED, andbuzzer. The advantage of this security system was its ability togive a danger sign in the form of noise when the systemdetected the wrong fingerprint or when it detects a forcedopening. The system would call the homeowner then. Otherthan that, this system notified the homeowner of all of theactivities through SMS so that it can be used as a long-distanceobservation. This system was completed with a push button toopen the door from the inside. The maximum fingerprints thatcould be stored were four users and one admin. The admin’sjob was to add/delete fingerprints, replace the home owner’sphone number, and change the system’s PIN. The resultsshowed that the fingerprint sensor read the prints in a relativelyfast time of 1.136 seconds. The average duration that wasneeded to send an SMS was 69 seconds while through call was3.2 seconds.
LA DIMENSIÓN ESPIRITUAL DE LA MATERIA ARQUITECTÓNICA. REFLEXIONES FENOMENOLÓGICAS SOBRE EL BRUTALISMO
Authors: Bermúdez Julio , Navarrete Sandra
Published: March 2020

Comprender y vivenciar la arquitectura solamente desde su materialidad es desconocer su estrecha relación con la espiritualidad humana y con ella una trascendencia imposible de alcanzar para la gran mayoría de artefactos. Pero, ¿cómo puede la dimensión más etérea, evanescente y “pura” de nuestra humanidad estar conectada, incluso depender de nuestra expresión más pesada, permanente y mensurable? Sin embargo, esta dicotomía entre materia y espíritu se basa en argumentos de la filosofía occidental “clásica” y las religiones abrahámicas. Desde filosofías y teologías alternativas, lo espiritual y lo corpóreo no son entendidos como diferentes sino como un todo indivisible, algo que la neurociencia, psicología y medicina contemporáneas tienden a apoyar. En este artículo, exploramos la relación entre la materialidad y la espiritualidad arquitectónicas utilizando este punto de vista alternativo y nos referimos al Brutalismo, el lenguaje arquitectónico más tectónico de la modernidad, para evidenciar el fundamental vínculo entre espiritualidad y materialidad.

Atraumatic spontaneous swelling of sternoclavicular joint: a case report
Authors: Kottasseri Nazia E. , Kalathingal Mohammed A. , Veettil Shajitha T.
Published: March 2020

Atraumatic spontaneous swelling of the Sternoclavicular Joint (SCJ) is not very common in elderly women. The SCJ is an integral part of the shoulder girdle that connects the upper limb to the axial skeleton. Trauma, degeneration, infections and other disease processes that affect synovial joints are the common causes of swelling of the SCJ. Here authors report a case of nontraumatic spontaneous anterior subluxation of the sternoclavicular joint in 66-year-old women without any underlying pathology who presented with sudden onset of a nontender swelling in the suprasternal area. The patient was treated conservatively and remained asymptomatic throughout 6 months follow up.
Additional head of biceps brachii: a cadaveric study
Authors: Gupta Seema , Soni Anshu , Vohra Hitant
Published: March 2020

Background: The biceps brachii is an important muscle of anterior compartment of arm. It shows frequent anatomic variability due to presence of supernumerary heads. Knowledge of the existence of the third head of biceps brachii is important for surgeons. Keeping this in mind a study was planned to see the incidence of additional head of biceps brachii in sample Indian population and to compare it with other racial groups.Methods: The study was carried out on 30 cadaveric upper limbs. The upper limbs were dissected and studied for the presence of additional head of biceps brachii. The attachment and nerve supply of the additional head was carefully observed, recorded and documented.Results: Out of 30 limbs which were dissected, additional head of biceps brachii was found only in two limbs. In both the cases the additional head was present only on the right side and arose from the anterior surface of humerus, superomedial to the origin of brachialis. The additional head fused with the common bulk of the muscle and was inserted into the radial tuberosity and bicipital aponeurosis. The extra heads of biceps brachii muscle received branches from musculocutaneous nerve.Conclusions: Biceps brachii is one of the commonest muscles showing variations. The additional head is not only of academic importance, but its knowledge also helps clinicians in managing fractures of humerus and nerve entrapment.

Published: March 2020

Thiol/disulphide homeostasis
is important in cancer. Studies are carried out to be biomarkers in cancer
patients. The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between
oxidative stress biomarker [thiol-disulphide homeostasis] and CEA [carcinoembryonic
antigen], IMA [ischemic modified albumin], albumin, CA
15-3 (cancer antigen 15-3) in patients with breast cancer and compare it with
healthy controls, which is conducted for the first time in the literature.A total of 80 participants including 39
patients with breast cancer and 41 healthy individuals were included in the
study. CEA, CA15-3, native thiol, total thiol, and disulphide as well as
disulphide/native thiol and disulphide/total thiol ratios were compared between
the groups. Native thiol[-SH], disulfide [-S-S] and total thiol [TT]
concentrations were measured with a novel automated method. Patients participated in the study under
chemotherapy. The study is a prospective study. In breast cancer group, IMA, albümin and CA-15-3  were obtained sitatiscally significant
difference compared to the controlegroup (p<0.05).  Although in high CA-15-3 group decreased
SH/TT and increased SS/TT ratios, there wasn’t a significant change in the
amount of thiol and disulfide. There was not any
relationship between thiol-disulphide parameters and tumor markers in the the
breast cancer group. Itcould be said that changes in the thiol-disulphide homeostasis
may notbe interact with CA 15-3 values.

Authors: Baro Hayelom , Dwivedi Pawan
Published: March 2020

Purpose of the study: The purpose of the article is to identify parallelism as the kind of sound device utilized and to examine the role these sound devices play in encoding or reinforcing meaning within the lines and the whole poem in the selected poems of Tigrigna written by Giemay Gebru.

Methodology: The research is theoretical, methodical and descriptive in nature and draws on library materials. Therefore, linguistics and stylistics approach i.e. phonological is used to analyze the data. Parallelism is one of the most important sound devices which is one of many stylistic approaches is used in this study as a descriptive method. As a model, the study adopts the revised method proposed by (Leech 1969) in his book “A Linguistic Guide to English Poetry, and (Mick Short's 1996) “Exploring the Language of Poems, play, and prose”. Furthermore, the chart that shows the phonemes of Tigrigna and writing systems that are summarized by Yohanes Zewedie is used as one method of analysis. In addition to that, the poems are translated into the English language and written in their phonetic transcription.

Results: The main result of the findings shows that parallelism as sound devices is observed in the selected poems. As revealed in the study, the poet, Girmay Gebru utilizing parallelism devices for the purpose of highlighting the issue and need to be emphasized and strongly express his tone of an idea what he needs to portray.

Application of this study: The study undertaken in the present study is justifiable and valuable since it attempts a new-fangled area. Therefore, this study will be of considerable importance to all those who are fascinated by the literature of Tigrigna.

Novelty/Originality of this study: In this research, the model of the stylistic aspect of translation and phonetic transcription-translation of the selected poems are presented in a full and complete manner.

The paper presents the results of experimental investigation concerning the introduction of non-metallic nano-additives — pure dry fullerenes of C60, C70, C84 grades — into liquid pure hydrazine. The study shows the effect of fullerenes on increasing the efficiency of liquid pure hydrazine by changing its density and thermal capacity through the relative coefficients of the system "(hydrazine + fullerenes) / hydrazine" at temperatures T = 293…560 K and pressures P = 0,101…49.01 MPa. The ways of increasing the efficiency of aircraft engines and power plants and aircraft themselves with the use of a new fuel type "hydrazine — fullerenes" have been developed. Findings of the study are new and necessary for calculations on making efficient jet engines and power plants of expendable and nonexpendable aircraft for ground, air, aerospace and space-based dual-use basing.

Authors: Mkandawire Mercy J , Davies Malcolm , Paget Graham , Mosiane Pulane , Naicker Saraladevi
Published: March 2020

Background: Minimal change nephropathy (MCN) is amongst the commonest causes of nephrotic syndrome worldwide, accounting for up to 15% of cases of primary nephrotic syndrome in adults. Limited data is available in African subjects.

Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the demographic, clinical profile and treatment outcomes of adult patients presenting with primary MCN at the Witwatersrand Academic Complex between 2001 and 2010.

Results: Forty-seven cases of MCN (2.9%) were diagnosed in 1618 patients undergoing native kidney biopsy. The patients with MCN were predominantly of Black race (83%), the male-to-female ratio was 1.04:1 and the mean age was 31.8 ± 12.1 years. Records of treatment and outcomes were available for 28 patients, all of whom received initial corticosteroid therapy (average dose of prednisone 0.8 mg/kg/day). The mean duration of steroid therapy was 24.8 ± 19.0 months. About 57.1% of patients achieved remission with no further relapse and 39.2% had probable steroid resistance. The mean time to relapse was 27.8 ± 19.4 months with 83% of patients relapsing within 48 months. The mean time to relapse was significantly longer in males (39.3 ± 17.5 months) compared to females (18 ± 16.9 months) (P = 0.09).

Conclusion: MCN is rare amongst adult Black Africans but should be considered in the differential diagnosis of nephrotic syndrome. The disorder in these patients may be less responsive to corticosteroids and a longer course of therapy may be required to induce remission. Males may be more likely to remain in remission for a longer period.
Profile of ICU Bed Requests at Helen Joseph Hospital
Authors: Hurri H , Scribante J , Perrie H , Chetty S
Published: March 2020

Background: Intensive care unit (ICU) beds are a scarce resource at Helen Joseph Hospital (HJH). A limited number of beds serve a population with a large burden of disease. Medical practitioners request ICU beds for patients they deem in need of ICU management. However, the decision to admit patients to the ICU remains the responsibility of the ICU consultant on call. No formal prognostic scoring system (such as Acute Physiological and Chronic Health Evaluation or Simplified Acute Physiology Score) or admission guidelines were in place when performing this study.

Aim: To compile a profile of all the ICU admission requests at HJH.

Methods: A contextual, prospective, descriptive research design was followed in this study. Data was collected during one winter and one summer month in 2012 using consecutive sampling from ICU consultation forms.

Results: A total of 139 patients were included in the study. The median age was 44 years. The majority of patients (79%) were under the age of 60 years. The overall admission rate was 35.25% and the most common reason for admission was mechanical ventilation. Of the patients refused ICU admission, 41% were assessed as being too ill, 30% were assessed as too well and 29% were refused admission due to a lack of resources. Patients admitted to the ICU had a 77.55% survival rate. The relationship between ICU admission and 30-day improved outcome was statistically significant, with those being admitted to ICU having a better outcome.

Conclusions: Overall a relatively young population is admitted to ICU at HJH. The allocation of beds between the disciplines is fairly equal, both with good survival benefits. The lack of ICU resources is an important limitation to ICU admission. Admission to ICU demonstrated a survival benefit.

Published: March 2020

Based on the work of Hofstede, Trompenaars, Lewis, and Rapaille, the founders of the theory of national business cultures and comparative economic studies, the characteristics of corresponding scientific areas are identified: cross-cultural management, cross-cultural communications, and cross-cultural marketing, including their methodological and practical aspects. Using the classic measuring parameters of national business cultures (“Individualism,” “Power Distance,” “Masculinity,” “Uncertainty Avoidance,” “Long-Term Orientation,” “Indulgence”), a comparative analysis is carried out on the example of Poland, Ukraine, Germany, France, and Hungary; the results of the authors’ own development of this interdisciplinary problem are presented. On this basis, new approaches are proposed in establishing mutually beneficial international cooperation between Polish and Ukrainian enterprises, not only in Europe but also in other regions of the world.
VÁROSOK A KIEGYEZÉS ELŐTT ÉS A MODERN VÁROS 1867 ÉS 1918 KÖZÖTT
Authors: LOVRA Éva
Published: March 2020

A tanulmány a Városok az Osztrák–Magyar Monarchiában: Városszövet- és várostipológia (1867–1918) monográfia két fejezetének részeiből áll össze, amely 2019 végén jelenik meg a Terc gondozásában. A tanulmány bemutatja a Magyar Királyság kiegyezés (1867) előtti várostípusait, elemzi a Habsburg Közép-Európa modern városai kialakulását, fejlődéstörténetük mérföldköveit. A leírás egyben várostörténeti összefoglaló is. A tanulmány kitér az épített környezet és a városszerkezet kapcsolatára is az 1867-et megelőző időszak városai esetében, a modern várost az infrastruktúra és a várostervezés fejlődése keresztmetszetében magyarázza. A „modernség szimbólumai” (Moravánszky 1998) meghatározták az 1867 és 1918 közötti időszak városképét és városszerkezetét. A kor városképében találhatóak olyan minták, amelyek a szerkezettel együtt értelmezve ismétlődő mintának tekinthetők, ezzel szemben az 1867-et megelőző időszakot a természeti táj által meghatározott városkép és az épített környezet határozta meg.
Narradoras mexicanas del modernismo: las tribulaciones editoriales de Betanzo, Méndez y Camarillo
Authors: Phillipps-López Dolores
Published: March 2020

With rare and brief echos of her published work (three novels and three short novels) in the press of her time, few books scattered today in a couple of libraries and present critical reception reduced to two or three minor incursions of her work, Francisca Betanzo (Chanteclair), born in Tehuacan, is a revealing —although extreme— case among those Mexican women devoted to literature during the Modernist fin de siècle of the Porfirian regime. More than anything else, hers is a story of “uncertainty and perplexity” (Romero Chumacero, 2015). Due to the fact that the works of Francisca Betanzo were published simultaneously with those of Mexican writers Laura Méndez and Ma Enriqueta Camarillo in identical publishing houses in Paris (Paul Ollendorff and Vda. De Ch. Bouret), particular attention will be given to the different circumstances that led to the inclusion, at the beginning of the xx century, of their respective works in the catalogs of these well-known Parisian publishers of the time. The approach of the forgotten texts of Francisca Betanzo from the perspective of publishing, distribution and reception of her work is an attempt to provide arguments in favor of rescuing the works of this forgotten Tehuacan writer.

O crescente aumento tecnológico traz consigo a necessidade de se produzir novos materiais que atendam tal evolução de maneira sustentável. Nesse sentido, o estudo de perovskitas de cerato de estrôncio SrCeO3 torna-se de grande relevância, visto que estes materiais possuem propriedade de condução protônica e são bastante utilizadas como eletrólito sólido para células a combustíveis de óxido sólido, as quais são muito importantes para a geração de energia com baixas ou nenhuma emissões de poluentes, por meio de combustíveis renováveis. Logo, o presente trabalho visou sintetizar o SrCeO3 pelo método do precursor polimérico dopado e não dopado e caracterizá-los estruturalmente.
