Published: March 2023

BACKGROUND

Artificial intelligence (AI) is often promoted as a potential solution for many challenges health care systems face worldwide. However, its implementation in clinical practice lags behind its technological development.

OBJECTIVE

This study aims to gain insights into the current state and prospects of AI technology from the stakeholders most directly involved in its adoption in the health care sector whose perspectives have received limited attention in research to date.

METHODS

For this purpose, the perspectives of AI researchers and health care IT professionals in North America and Western Europe were collected and compared for profession-specific and regional differences. In this preregistered, mixed methods, cross-sectional study, 23 experts were interviewed using a semistructured guide. Data from the interviews were analyzed using deductive and inductive qualitative methods for the thematic analysis along with topic modeling to identify latent topics.

RESULTS

Through our thematic analysis, four major categories emerged: (1) the current state of AI systems in health care, (2) the criteria and requirements for implementing AI systems in health care, (3) the challenges in implementing AI systems in health care, and (4) the prospects of the technology. Experts discussed the capabilities and limitations of current AI systems in health care in addition to their prevalence and regional differences. Several criteria and requirements deemed necessary for the successful implementation of AI systems were identified, including the technology’s performance and security, smooth system integration and human-AI interaction, costs, stakeholder involvement, and employee training. However, regulatory, logistical, and technical issues were identified as the most critical barriers to an effective technology implementation process. In the future, our experts predicted both various threats and many opportunities related to AI technology in the health care sector.

CONCLUSIONS

Our work provides new insights into the current state, criteria, challenges, and outlook for implementing AI technology in health care from the perspective of AI researchers and IT professionals in North America and Western Europe. For the full potential of AI-enabled technologies to be exploited and for them to contribute to solving current health care challenges, critical implementation criteria must be met, and all groups involved in the process must work together.
Object Detection in Medical Imaging: A Quantitative and Qualitative Analysis of the Scientific Research (Preprint)
Authors: Albuquerque Carina , Henriques Roberto , Castelli Mauro
Published: March 2023

BACKGROUND

Medical imaging is an indispensable tool widely employed in the healthcare industry and medical field. With the emergence of deep learning, medical imaging analysis has entered a new era where disease diagnosis and therapy assessment can be faster and less prone to error. Although there has been a significant increase in scientific research focusing on classification and segmentation tasks in medical imaging, the object detection task still deserves further exploration.

OBJECTIVE

This study aims to evaluate and describe the latest advances and evidence regarding object detection algorithms in medical imaging tasks through quantitative and qualitative analysis, detecting research gaps and providing guidelines for future research.

METHODS

We relied on Scopus and Web of Science to analyze the use of object detection algorithms in medical imaging, particularly on specific tasks and anatomical areas. The screening process and data extraction were conducted according to the PRISMA guidelines. We assessed the annual publication rate, research areas, preferred journals, leading research countries and authors, and selected keywords through quantitative analysis. Through qualitative analysis, we grouped articles with an annual citation rate higher than five based on the algorithm used, imaging modalities, and anatomical application areas.

RESULTS

In 2022, there was a significant increase in publications, accounting for 43% of all the identified articles. Most of these publications belong to the research fields of Computer Science, Medicine, and Engineering research fields. China, the United States of America, and Japan emerged as the most productive countries, with 124, 48, and 36 publications, respectively, out of the 311 identified articles. The Faster R-CNN algorithm is the most frequently used, with 32.5% of the publications, followed by the YOLO algorithm with 30%, and SSD with 8.75%. Common modalities include Computed Radiography, Pathological Imaging, Endoscopy, and Computed Tomography. Among the various application areas, digital pathology and microscopy were the most popular, with 16 publications, followed by the detection of abnormalities in abdominal organs, with 15 publications. Other areas such as abdominal organs focusing on colon polyp detection, digestive system organs emphasizing tooth-related tasks, bone imaging for fracture identification, and breast CT scans for breast lesion detection, were also frequently explored.

CONCLUSIONS

This study highlights the development and the increased popularity of object detection techniques in medical imaging for improving disease diagnosis and lesion detection. Additionally, it provides insights into potential collaboration and prospects for future research. The 80 most-cited articles were listed in greater detail, showing that object detection in medical imaging is a rapidly developing research area with potential for further growth.
Natural Gamma Ray Borehole Logging Technique for Estimating Radiogenic Heat Production in Basaltic Environment, Case study from Kodana region, Southern Syria
Authors: Asfahani Jamal
Published: March 2023

Con el propósito de evaluar la producción de calor radiactivo (HP, por sus siglas en inglés) se han utilizado dos técnicas nucleares en un entorno basáltico de Kodana, en el sur de Siria. Estos son: sondeo de pozos para el registro de rayos gamma de origen natural (Ra) y espectrometría de rayos gamma. Las medidas de Ra se convierten a valores HP con base a la relación de Bucker y Rybach. La subestimación de los valores HP en el caso de estudio del sondo de pozos en Kodana señala la necesidad de una modificación de las constantes de la relación de Bucker y Rybach (0.0158 y 0.8). Por ello se propone establecer una nueva ecuación de la siguiente forma: HP (μW/m3) = 0.037 (Ra(API)+ 4.35, más adecuada para caracterizar HP en ambientes basálticos continentales. Además, su eficacia se ha validado con la estimación y análisis del HP en tres pozos adicionales en la región de estudio. El análisis de 377 puntos medidos a lo largo del pozo Kodana muestra que el Ra varía entre 4.93API y 9.31API, con un valor promedio de 6.83API, mientras que el HP corregido y calibrado varía entre 0.32 y 0.51 μW/m3, con un valor promedio de 0.42 μW/m3 . Utilizando multifractales número-concentración y gráficas log-log se distinguen cuatro rangos de valores de HP calibrados en la región de estudio. El primer rango (<0.354μW/m3) está relacionado con basalto denso y masivo; el segundo (0.354–0.41μW/m3) con basalto sólido; el tercero (0.41–0.44μW/m3) con basalto piroclástico, y el cuarto (>0.44μW/m3) con productos de alteración del basalto y arcillas.

Sequencing Critical Moves for Ethical Argumentation Practice: Munāẓara and the Interdependence of Procedure and Agent
Authors: Oruç Rahmi , Üzelgün Mehmet  Ali , Sadek Karim
Published: March 2023

The aim of this paper is to highlight an interdependence between procedural and agential norms that undermines their neat separation when appraising argumentation. Drawing on the munāẓara tradition, we carve a space for sequencing in argumentation scholarship. Focusing on the antagonist’s sequencing of critical moves, we identify each sequence’s corresponding values of argumentation: coalescence, reliability, and efficacy. These values arise through the mediation of virtues and simultaneously underpin procedural as well as agential norms. Consequently, an ambiguity between procedure and agent becomes apparent. This ambiguity hints at the potential for a virtue theory of argumentation that draws on procedural norms.
An Episode from the History of Crimean Musical Folklore: a Collection of Crimean Tatar Songs by N. Borovko and M. Krasev
Authors:   Sevastopol State University, Lobkov Aleksandr E.
Published: March 2023

Research objectives: To outline the activities of Nina Borovko-Langlet as a collector and performer of folk songs of the Crimean Tatars and to introduce into scientific use a collection of Crimean Tatar songs and dances, prepared by her in collaboration with the composer M.I. Krasev. Research materials: The collection of Nina Borovko and Mikhail Krasev “Crimean Tatar Songs,” published in Stockholm in 1925, and little-known Russian and foreign journal articles served as additional material. As comparative material, the publications of Crimean folklore texts of the 1920s and 1930s were used. Results and novelty of the research: For many decades, the name of Nina Borovko-Langlet was forgotten in the history of Russian musical folklore. The materials presented in the article highlight the role of N. N. Borovko-Langlet in Crimean folklore studies of the 1920s and 1930s. She contributed largely to the popularization of Crimean Tatar music, and her concerts introduced Swedish audiences to the originality of Crimean Tatar folk songs and dances. The article reveals the existence of the collection “Crimean Tatar Songs,” containing six Crimean Tatar songs with translations into Russian, Swedish, and German, as well as a musical notation of two dance songs. It can serve as a valuable source for further comparative study of variants of Crimean songs. The paper also touches on some aspects of N.N. Borovko-Langlet’s collaboration with M.I. Krasev and describes the range of musical publications of the Soviet composer related to the Crimean theme.

Authors:   Kazan Federal University, Khabutdinova Mileusha M.
Published: March 2023

Research objectives: To systematize information about the contribution of the Tatar scholar and encyclopedist Naki Isanbet (1899–1992) to the study of the history and culture of the Golden Horde and the popularization of this knowledge among the Tatars.. Research materials: Folklore materials, scientific works, and literary works of Naki Isanbet served as the basis of the study. Cultural-historical, semiotic-culturological, comparative, and other research methods, chosen based on the nature of the analyzed text, were used. Novelty of the research: a comprehensive analysis of Naki Isanbet’s contribution to the study of the Golden Horde and the popularization of this information among the Tatars. Results of the research: The work proves that this scholar and encyclopedist began to seriously develop the theme of the Golden Horde in the late 1920s. Based on the analysis of archival materials, the chronicle of the work of Naki Isanbet on the creation of consolidated texts of the dastans “Idukai and Muradym” and “Idegey” is reconstructed. The scientific value of introductory scientific articles to these textual works and his comments is revealed. Information on the history of the creation of the tragedy “Idegey” by N. Isanbet and the history of its existence on the Tatar stage is systematized. The contribution of the folklorist to the study of the work of the Chichyans of the Golden Horde and the popularization of information about their activities in the comedy “Cirän çiçän belän Qaraçäç sılu” (“Red-haired mocker and his black-haired beauty”) is determined. The proportion of folk proverbs, riddles, phraseological units in the folklore collections of N. Isanbet aimed at popularizing information about the Golden Horde among a wide readership has been revealed.
A Path two Decades long: how the First Collective Monograph of the Institute of Language, Literature and History on the “History of the Tatar ASSR” was created
Authors:   Marjani Institute of History of the Tatarstan Academy of Sciences, Galimzyanova Alina T. , Gallyamova Alfiya G. ,   Marjani Institute of History of the Tatarstan Academy of Sciences
Published: March 2023

Research objectives: To contribute to the analysis of the conditions and factors, as well as the results of the activities of Tatar humanitarian specialists in the 1930s–1950s. The article deals with the actual aspects of studying the history of historical science in one of the major regions of Russia – the Republic of Tatarstan – during the Soviet period. It highlights the process of statization of the activities of historians and the dramatic conflicts associated with their subordination to the official Marxist-Leninist concept of periodization of human history. In connection with the restoration of historical science in the beginning of the 1930s, there arose a need to expand the network of research institutes designed to study the regional history and culture. In the Tatar ASSR, such a task was entrusted to the Institute of Language, Literature, and History (IYALI), established in 1939, and mainly to its history sector formed in 1941. Research materials: The article is based on the analysis of a vast array of unpublished sources, which made it possible to reveal the role of not only the August (1944) Decree of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union but also other directives and guidelines issued by the Soviet government over two decades (1940–1950s). Results and novelty of the research: The article describes in detail the process of the development of the two-volume “History of the Tatar ASSR”, whose writing was entrusted to the staff of the Institute of Language, Literature, and History (IYALI). The study showed that the content of the book changed many times and adjusted to the directives of the highest political and ideological authorities, which abounded in the period of late Stalinism. The August (1944) Decree of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union had the greatest influence on the scientific activities of Kazan historians. It became the main guide to the action of the Republic authorities, called upon to strictly monitor the moods and actions of the Tatar intelligentsia and instilling in them a sense of fear of being accused of nationalist survivals. A series of resolutions of the Tatar Regional Committee of the Communist Party, inspired from above by campaigns to expose the political myopia of Tatar historians, forced the authors of the manuscript “History of the Tatar ASSR” to return to the text again and again, to rewrite sections on the history of independent Tatar states in the past, their folklore and literary heritage, Jadidism, etc. It took two decades before rea­ders saw a textbook on the history of the Tatar people.
Trial in the case of the Poisoning of Ögedei Khan in the Context of Contradictions between Different Groups of Sources
Authors:   Independent Researcher, Porsin Artem A.
Published: March 2023

Research objectives: The article provides an analysis of conflicting reports in the sources on the trial for the poisoning of Khan Ögedei, who died at the end of 1241. Research materials: Although the sources of the imperial circle (Juvaini, Rashid al-Din) describe in detail the trials of individual representatives of the nobility after the son of Ögedei, Guyuk, came to power in 1246, they do not report anything about the trial regarding the violent death of the former ruler. Nonetheless, direct information about the arrest of a certain daughter of Chingis Khan on charges of murdering Ögedei, which occurred immediately after the enthronement of Guyuk, is contained in the report of Plano Carpini, present at the kurultai. Rashid al-Din’s report, which is an example of imperial historiography, does not contain direct references to this but provides indirect reports about the murder of Chingis Khan’s daughter by the Ögedeids. Simultaneously, the official imperial texts date the most high-profile trial of Chingis Khan’s brother Temuge-Otchigin and his execution to the time after enthronement, but Plano Carpini refers to this event as happening before that. Results and novelty of the research: The author concludes that the report of the papal legate reflects real events to a greater extent, while the versions of Juvaini and Rashid al-Din are the result of imperial censorship, which purposefully concealed events that were contrary to Chingisid intra-family ethics.

Published: March 2023

Research objectives: To determine the structure, activities, staff, and fiscal sources of the postal organization in the Golden Horde, and to demonstrate the connections and differences between the centre and other Chingisid khanates. Research materials: The sources used for this research include the yarlıqs and payzas given by the khans of the Golden Horde and the Chingisid Empire, the sources of Chingisname that shed light on the history of the Golden Horde, travellers’ notes, and other relevant sources. Results and novelty of the research: The postal organization of the Golden Horde existed since the time of Chingis Khan’s first conquests, but it reached its full development only with the postal reforms of Ögedei. The Yam, the Mongol postal organization, spread through the lands of the Golden Horde with the Mongol conquests. The administrative hierarchy of the postal organization in the Golden Horde was similar to that of the Chingisid Khanate. There were darughas and basqaqs, chiefs of the tümen, the minngan, and the jaun, and under them, the station masters. Postal couriers, called ula’achin in the state of Chingis Khan, were sometimes called yam and sometimes yamchi in the Golden Horde. Decrees (yarlıqs) from the period after Möngke show that a different postal system operated in the territory of the Golden Horde from the reforms of Ögedei. Under this system, postal couriers still received their supplies from and were housed by the subject, although a station system existed. Postal organizations had to adapt to geographical conditions, and in the Golden Horde postal organization, sledges could be found, which were not present in other Mongolian postal organizations.
The Siberian Ulus of Jochi: Nomadic Traditions on the eve of Imperial Innovations
Authors:   Institute of Russian History of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Trepavlov Vadim V.
Published: March 2023

Research objectives: To determine the principles of Chingis Khan’s giving of an appanage to his son Jochi after the submission of the peoples of Southern Siberia in 1207 and to correlate the criteria for the territorial division of the ulus with information from the epic folklore of Southern Siberia and Central Asia. Research materials: “The Secret History of the Mongols,” the court chronicles of the Mongol Empire of the 13th–14th centuries, the heroic epos of the peoples of Southern Siberia and Central Asia, and the historiography of the Mongol Empire of the first half of the 13th century. Results and novelty of the research: As a result of comparisons of the realities of the early Mongol Empire with the patriarchal foundations of the Turkic-Mongolian nomadic society reflected in epic tales, a projection of the traditional norms of the organization of the nomadic ulus on the situation with the endowment of Jochi in the conquered lands of Southern Siberia can be discerned. Just as in heroic tales, the son, on the orders of his father, conquers neighbouring tribes living in the north and west of their native nomadic lands and receives them in governing. In this situation, not only the paradigm of relations between the indigenous and annexed population of the ulus bequeathed by the ancestors but also the archaic scheme of descending sacrality from the North to the South and from the East to the West played its role.
Competencias conversacionales para aumentar la producción de las organizaciones “La atención organizacional del riesgo desde lo conversacional y otras particularidades”
Authors: Abadía García Constanza
Published: March 2023

En este capítulo se presenta un ejercicio basado en una exploración documental sobre tendencias mundiales que, a partir de diferentes posturas teóricas, desde la administración de empresas, la filosofía, la psicología, la sociología y las ciencias de la comunicación, en conjunto con los resultados de investigación de grupos especializados, y en informes elaborados por entidades consultoras con reconocimiento mundial, permiten un análisis desde un enfoque de riesgos. Lo anterior, relacionado con la aparición de afectaciones en las personas por la velocidad que presenta el mundo y el alto volumen de información que se produce y se recibe a través de la conexión con la red global, asociado al rápido avance de las tecnologías en la modernidad, así como el surgimiento de las nuevas generaciones que nutren el ámbito laboral. Las competencias conversacionales son abordadas a partir de la ontología del lenguaje y sus posibilidades como movilizadoras de una comunicación eficaz desde la conversación horizontal, donde el reconocimiento personal pasa por el re-conocimiento del otro y los otros, como colectivo. Dicha propuesta plantea que el liderazgo en las empresas necesita contemplar el coaching ontológico y lo conversacional, como una opción que consolide la identidad con los valores de las organizaciones, aporte a la formulación de proyectos comunes, de manera que, concibiendo al otro como un igual y legítimo otro, se fortalezcan los equipos de trabajo hacia la mejora continua y el incremento de la producción en empresas y organizaciones.

Published: March 2023

Durante los últimos años, el equipo investigador pudo diagnosticar, a través de la observación directa, cómo a los niños y jóvenes del cabildo indígena el Guaimaro ubicado en el Municipio de Sampués, Sucre, perteneciente a la etnia Zenú, y al cabido mayor de San Andrés de Sotavento, han perdido el interés por aprender los oficios y tradiciones ancestrales recibidos de sus mayores. Por el contrario, se han dedicado a los video juegos, las redes sociales, entre otras actividades que poca relación tienen con su identidad cultural. En asocio con algunos miembros de dicha comunidad, se decidió, a través del plan de vida, rescatar los valores tradicionales, a través de la enseñanza de las técnicas para continuar con la tradición de producir piezas artesanales únicas que sirvan como elementos potencialmente comerciales, a través del uso del Internet, lo que contribuye a mejorar la calidad de los integrantes de dicha comunidad. Para ello, se implementaron una serie de intervenciones pedagógicas integrando los niños, los jóvenes, con sus mayores, para facilitar un flujo de la información ancestral conducente a la siembra y mantenimiento de la caña flecha, que es la materia prima en la elaboración del sombrero vueltiao y todo tipo de tejidos artesanales que sirven como referentes para hacer bolsos y tapetes; la forma utilizada para techar sus casas y para trabajar otro tipo de materiales biosustentables que son la base de la cultura y lo que le da un valor agregado a este tipo de artesanías y facilita su comercialización y su difusión global.

The impact of internal auditing on corruption: Evidence from the emerging market
Authors: Abdulhussein Azher Subhi , Al-Refiay Hussen Amran Naji , Wahhab Asaad Mohammed Ali
Published: March 2023

The main aim of this research is to test the impact of internal auditing on corruption. In recent years, most firms around the world have witnessed a series of financial crises and scandals, this is mainly because of the absence of occurrence and the separation of fraud and corruption in financial reporting. The manipulation of the financial data is caused by the weakness and the disability in the internal auditing system, which negatively affects the level of transparency and disclosure in financial reporting. This issue has increased and exacerbated the level of corruption in the governmental public sector (Hayek et al., 2022). This research contributes to the accounting and auditing literature by improving the corporate governance code and accounting quality. Also, this research contributes to the theory by testing the stewardship theory by providing empirical evidence of how the steward (the internal auditing system reduces corruption). The study used 164 questionnaire forms that were distributed to the internal auditors within 12 Iraqi governorates out of 15 governorates except for the Kurdistan region, which included four domains of 71 questions. The main finding of this research is that internal auditing plays a major role to reduce the level of corruption and helps firms in the public sector to produce high-quality financial reporting.

Authors: Bautista Parada Ileana Rocío , Puentes Manosalva Fabian Eduardo
Published: March 2023

Los inhibidores de interleucina 17 (IL-17) se encuentran aprobados para el tratamiento de psoriasis, artropatía psoriásica y espondilitis anquilosante. La IL-17 se encuentra involucrada en la patogenia de la enfermedad inflamatoria intestinal (EII); sin embargo, hasta la fecha se han reportado eventos paradójicos con el uso inhibidores selectivos de IL-17 como el secukinumab, cuyos mecanismos fisiopatológicos no han sido del todo aclarados. Aunque la incidencia de EII en este grupo de pacientes es baja, el riesgo podría disminuirse mediante una evaluación cuidadosa de factores de riesgo tales como historia familiar, síntomas gastrointestinales y la realización de calprotectina fecal previo al inicio del tratamiento.

Published: March 2023

La apendagitis epiploica es una causa infrecuente de dolor abdominal agudo. El manejo es autolimitado; sin embargo, algunos necesitan intervención quirúrgica. Este caso describe a una paciente mujer de 41 años que ingresó al servicio de emergencia por un cuadro clínico de abdomen agudo. En el examen físico presentó un abdomen blando, depresible y doloroso a la palpación en el cuadrante superior izquierdo. Se solicitó una tomografía axial computarizada (TAC) en la que se evidenció una imagen hipodensa ovalada con un centro hiperdenso compatible con apendagitis epiploica. La paciente recibió terapia conservadora y luego se le indicó el alta médica. Siete meses después la paciente acudió nuevamente por un cuadro abdominal agudo, los exámenes complementarios resultan negativos y fue tratada nuevamente con terapia conservadora. Por un período de 12 meses la paciente no ha vuelto a presentar otra recaída. Este caso describe las recurrencias que existen en esta patología poco común y el tratamiento que se debería evaluar para evitar estas recaídas.

Published: March 2023

Purpose: To assess the ADRs reported (2010-2020) for
transgender population in India. Methods: The study was based
on the surveillance data received during the study period at Indian
Pharmacopoeia Commission (IPC), as IPC is authorized for collating and
analyzing ADRs submitted by healthcare professionals, marketing
authorization holders and consumers under the Pharmacovigilance
Programme of India (PvPI). Results: We analyzed the Individual
Case Safety Reports (ICSRs) reported for transgender population from
January 2010 to December 2020. 94 ICSRs were found to be associated with
the use of pharmaceutical drugs in the transgender population and out of
these 2.7% were found to be serious in nature. The highest percentages
of reports (47%) were from the age group of 20-30 years and the trend
showed a consistent decline in ICSRs as the age of transgenders
progressed. Reactions like mouth sore, oesophageal stenosis and
oropharyngeal candidiasis were found only in transgender patients due to
the use of Anti-retroviral drugs. Considering the spectrum of this
minority gender within the general population. Discussion: The
results of the present study may help to understand medication safety in
transgender population. This article would stimulate the ADRs reporting
for transgender group by other countries to their national
pharmacovigilance centres.
3D path planning problem for fighter Aircraft with multiple constraints
Authors: Yang Ping , Xiao Bing , Chen Xin , Guo LiangLiang
Published: March 2023

Abstract: Path planning is a crucial component for ensuring the safety
and efficiency of flight missions, especially for fighter aircraft. To
enhance the combat effectiveness of fighter aircraft, it is important to
consider how to avoid danger sources and terrain obstacles, reduce fuel
consumption, and utilize the aircraft’s own performance to accomplish
the mission objectives. In the modern battlefield environment, the
shortest path is not the only criterion for planning, but also other
factors such as the threat level to the aircraft, fuel consumption,
mission completion time, and minimum turning radius. In this paper, we
propose a multi-constraint path planning method for fighter aircraft
that incorporates these factors into an improved particle swarm
algorithm. We transform the constraints of three-dimensional terrain,
threat source, fuel consumption, and mission time into an aggregated
fitness function. We construct a limit curvature matrix to evaluate the
feasibility of the generated path. We also introduce an adaptive
adjustment strategy based on the activation function for the parameters
in the particle swarm algorithm. The weights of each constraint are
determined according to the actual demand. The experiment results show
that our method can efficiently plan the optimal path that satisfies the
requirements. Compared with other improved particle swarm algorithms,
our method has higher optimal search efficiency and better convergence
effect. We also provide optimal values for important parameters such as
mission energy consumption, mission time, flight speed and others to
support the overall mission planning. Our method has certain practical
application value.

Background Provide a brief overview of recent technological
advances that can potentially give information for treatment of
different kind of arrhythmias. Methods In this report, we
describe the features of Omnipolar technology (OT) using high density
mapping catheter and we report five different scenario in which this new
tool can give some important information to understand arrhythmia’s
substrate and guide the treatment. OT combine three unipolar and two
bipolar signals and provides maximum voltage regardless of
electrode-wavefront orientation, local wavefront activation direction
and local measurements of wave speed: it allow to create a velocity map.
Results OT has been used to study different types of
supraventricular tachycardias. Regarding reentry tachycardias, velocity
map has allowed the characterization and definition of the impulse
velocity along the dual nodal pathway and the accessory pathways (AP).
As regards atrial flutter, it has successfully allowed the definition of
the slowest zone of the critical isthmus and radiofrequency (RF)
delivery at that point resulted in termination of the arrhythmia. During
mapping of the left atrium in sinus rhythm, the velocity map allowed the
identification of the course of the Bachmann’s bundle, which could
potentially play a role during the ablation of persistent atrial
fibrillation (AF). Conclusion OT and velocity map offer
significant advantages in the management of challenging arrhythmias, and
can potentially improve the efficacy of the treatment of some
arrhythmias such as atrial flutter and AF.
Women’s education, knowledge and competence in Ancient Greece
Authors: Stevanovic Lada
Published: March 2023

The paper deals with women?s education in Ancient Greece. In ancient times, women were dominated by men throughout the Greek world, while their roles and competence were strictly defined (albeit differently across various city-states). Although not all women were deprived of education, their education was almost never organized by the city-state. Women?s knowledge and voice were never welcome in the public domain. However, the picture of women?s education, knowledge and competences is not one-dimensional and it would be wrong to claim that those did not exist. Foreign women sometimes had more freedom of education and free communication with men than Greek citizens? wives (especially in Athens); education was also available for girls from rich families; some city-states other than Athens were less restrictive towards their women. The other aspect of the issue was the fact that there was some knowledge available to women, and in some professions, women did not appear as an exception, but rather as a rule. Such was the case of midwives, women physicians and herbal specialists/pharmacists. Their prominent role in the private domain did not only involve care of home and closest kin, but also rituals, and this should be considered an important aspect of women?s competence. However, researching women?s education and knowledge in antiquity is a difficult task, because veils of silence were cast over women?s voices in ancient times, including those that attempted to break through the barriers of their age.
Onwards and upwards to the kingdom of beauty and love. Herbert Marcuse’s trajectory to socialism
Authors: Visic Maroje
Published: March 2023

Socialists today can learn from Marcuse. Starting from this premise this
paper discusses and elaborates on Herbert Marcuse?s trajectory to socialism.
Marcuse successfully eluded the trap of ?economism?, and turned to
subjectivity in search of a socialist solution. The transition to socialism
is possible through the creation of new anthropology expressed through the
concept of ?new sensibility?. The prototype of a new socialist human is an
anti-superman. Peace and beauty are important characteristics of Marcuse?s
socialism. ?Libertarian socialism?, ?feminist socialism?, ?integral
socialism?, ?socialist humanism?, ?socialism as the work of art?, and
?utopian socialism? are all terms that testify to Marcuse?s open and
many-faceted understanding of socialism in all of its complexity of
meanings. Some of those meanings can inform debates on future prospects of
socialism.
Lectores y hábitos diarios: variaciones en las tendencias de lectoría de medios de soporte impreso
Authors: Aroca Jácome Ruben
Published: March 2023

El articulo sostiene que la acción combinada del crecimiento de los segmentos poblacionales con nivel medio de consumo, por un lado, y el acceso continuo a servicios domiciliarios o portables a Internet, por otro, han modificado la estructura de participación en el sector de la comunicación periodística.No obstante, no resulta del todo admisible conceptual y metodológicamente argumentar causalidad entre dichas variables, pues sus niveles de aproximación a lo fáctico difieren y el problema podría tener naturaleza estrictamente narrativa. Esto implica tanto el género practicado por un medio de prensa como unos usos en la descripción de lo real por los lectores.
PRODUCCIÓN PETROLERA DE VENEZUELA Periodo 1998 - 2020
Authors: Pargas Luis Alberto
Published: March 2023

Venezuela en la actualidad, está confrontado una serie de problemas, en especial desde el punto de vista político, lo que generado muchas tensiones en el campo económico y social. Y ante esta situación no escapa el sector petrolero, principal fuente generadora de divisas, tan necesarias hoy en día para un país que debe mantener un aparato productivo eficiente. Venezuela, a lo largo de muchos años, jugó un papel predominante dentro de la Organización de Países Exportadores de Petrolero (OPEP): más aun, por ser uno de los miembros propulsores de su fundación, llegando a estar dentro de los cinco (5) principales países exportadores de petróleo en el mundo. Hoy en día, la realidad es otra; prácticamente ha desaparecido del mercado petrolero, donde la misma OPEP, ya no la incluye en la lista de países exportadores. Al mes de junio del presente año, la producción estuvo alrededor de los 300.000 barriles diarios; en franco descenso durante últimos tres (3) años, lo que la convierte en una fuente de incertidumbre, al no contar con un volumen de inversiones, para mantener su capacidad operativa; por lo que su recuperación se considera lenta con el agravante de una perdida notoria de sus clientes tradicionales, ocupadas hoy en día, por otros países exportadores de petróleo. Los problemas internos dentro de la industria, aunado a las sanciones impuestas por la administración de los Estados Unidos al gobierno venezolano dificultan aún más el panorama.
As políticas amazónicas do Brasil (2019-2022) e a necessidade de uma mudança transformadora
Authors: Castro Pereira Joana
Published: March 2023

Despite its potential to transition toward a green economy, the country became an environmental villain in recent years. The anti-environmentalist and anti-indigenist administration of President Jair Bolsonaro (2019-2022) partly dismantled environmental governance. The Amazon and its more-than-human populations were severely hit by Bolsonaro’s predatory agenda, which supported and legitimized the interests of the anti-conservationist forces within economic sectors such as agribusiness and mining, and fueled organized crime and violence in the region. This paper provides an overview and analysis of Amazonian politics and policy during this period, and discusses the importance of, and possibilities for, a transformative approach to the governance of the region.
A emergência de novos partidos em Portugal: a década de 2010
Authors: Gaio e Silva João
Published: March 2023

This essay aims to uncover the key factors for the emergence of new political parties in the decade of 2010, in Portugal. For that we considered two axes of research: the systemic axis,to ascertain the political, social and economic context; and the particularistic axis, to determine its ideological mark, ideational purpose and valences of its founders and leaders. The results point to three major conclusions: i) the crisis did not present itself as a great mobilizer for the creation of new parties; ii) the Geringonça accentuated the left vs. right divide; and iii) the opposition tends to generate new rupturing and purifying parties.
The Influence and Contribution of Macroeconomics to The Indonesian Sharia Stock Index for The Period 2011-2021
Authors: Mulyadi Sandi , Wibowo Muhammad Ghafur
Published: March 2023

This study aims to determine the impact of macroeconomic variables on the Indonesian Sharia Stock Index (ISSI). The macroeconomic variables used are Industrial Production Index (IPI), Indonesian Sharia Bank Certificate (SBIS), Money Supply (JUB), exchange rates, Interest Rates (TSB), and inflation. The observed data is in the form of monthly data for the period 2011 to 2021. The approach used is to test the impact and contribution of VECM. The test results with the VECM model found that in the short term all variables had no effect on the Indonesian Sharia Stock Index, whereas, in the long term, IPI, SBIS, and inflation had a negative effect, and JUB, exchange rate, and TSB had a positive effect, based on the IRF test showed that ISSI responding to fluctuations from all positive macroeconomic variables except inflation which responded negatively and the contribution of each macroeconomic variable was IPI (0.64), SBIS (2.01), JUB (0.45), the exchange rate (0.64), TSB (0.01), and inflation (1.16) against the Indonesian Sharia Stock Index.
