Adaptaciones y reconstrucciones de antiguas iglesias anglicanas en el siglo XX
Authors: Grieco Lorenzo
Published: September 2020

Desde la segunda mitad del siglo XIX, los movimientos de la High Church británica han tenido como objetivo actualizar la liturgia anglicana. En los años de la posguerra, sensibles a las influencias del Movimiento Litúrgico continental, estas solicitudes litúrgicas se traducen en principios operativos para la organización del espacio eclesial. Estos principios se refieren tanto a la construcción de nuevas iglesias anglicanas como a la modernización de las antiguas iglesias con respecto a las nuevas necesidades litúrgicas. El último caso es el foco principal de esta comunicación. El objetivo del documento es conectar diferentes experiencias de adaptación y reconstrucción de iglesias anglicanas, antes y alrededor de los años del Concilio Vaticano II, destacando las influencias continentales y investigando un peculiar enfoque británico sobre las ruinas arquitectónicas. El discurso se centra particularmente en un episodio simbólico, el concurso de la nueva catedral de Coventry, que alimentó la discusión sobre el valor de las ruinas en la restauración o reconstrucción de iglesias destruidas. A raíz de este tema, se introducen las obras de dos figuras relevantes en la arquitectura religiosa británica: George Gaze Pace (1915/75) y Robert Potter (1909/2010), cuyas iglesias representan un extraordinario ejemplo en la composición de un espacio sagrado en diálogo con las ruinas.
Giacomo Lercaro in Bologna
Authors: Comiati Gaetano Adolfo
Published: September 2020

Facing the emergency of building new churches, while Bologna was living a demographic boom in the fifties, Giacomo Lercaro chose to create an integrate system of progress. The ritual form of faith is spatially determined according to the physical peculiarity of the place in which the salvation is celebrated by Familia Dei. This form invokes an aesthetic-symbolic quality, in order to enable the delivery of human and social poverty in coherence with the Mystery. These experiences accompany the hard research of an appropriate place for the form of faith and an adequate faith for the form of the place. Given the absolute symbolic relevance of the ecclesiastical building and the performative capacity of the ritual, every research and intervention depend to personal and pastoral requirement rooted into extra-liturgical area. In fact, fiddling with the ritual means not only tampering the celebratory quality, but reconfiguring the ecclesial identity itself.
Casale Monferrato, Milán, Piacenza: tres catedrales revisitadas
Authors: Leoni Luigi
Published: September 2020

El Concilio Vaticano II expresó normas para la instalación litúrgica de presbiterios, una guía para el diseño de nuevas iglesias. Para la adaptación de los presbiterios de las iglesias anteriores al Concilio, las propuestas de intervención, diversificadas en tiempo y espacio, han encontrado cumplimiento donde no había necesidad de preservar elementos de alto valor patrimonial. En cambio, fue arduo trabajar en edificios históricos, con elementos de alto valor artístico. Es útil considerar ejemplos significativos para verificar las soluciones adoptadas y para favorecer un análisis de las intervenciones.Las catedrales italianas de Casale Monferrato, Milán y Piacenza se toman en consideración para resaltar los criterios que llevaron a una comparación fructífera entre arquitectos, artistas y liturgistas a fin de adoptar soluciones adecuadas para las áreas presbiterales. La investigación destaca en algunos contextos propuestas para la mejora de obras de arte existentes, y en otras, nuevas esculturas en armonía con el complejo arquitectónico.
La admisión del arte moderno en un templo patrimonial neogótico, anticipo de intervenciones edilicias para una liturgia posconciliar
Authors: Benítez Analía E.
Published: September 2020

Escasos años antes del Concilio Vaticano II, el incendio accidental de un retablo en la iglesia catedral de Mar del Plata (Argentina), dio pie a que se irguiera allí una nueva y provocativa obra, única expresión del arte religioso moderno que habría por mucho tiempo en la ciudad.El nuevo retablo (1961) fue encargado por el obispo mons. Enrique Rau —personalidad destacada en la música litúrgica—, que participó activamente en todas las sesiones del CVII como miembro de la Comisión Mundial para la Reforma de la Liturgia y como Presidente del Departamento Litúrgico del CELAM.La obra, emergida de un contexto artístico, cultural y espiritual distinto al que imperó cuando la catedral neogótica se construyó, resalta en su ámbito expresando cambios ocurridos en forma y lenguaje, en vistas a la renovación que comenzaría la Iglesia local poco después, para adaptarse a las modificaciones litúrgicas surgidas del Concilio.
Patrimonio religioso brasileño - para la cultura, para lo sagrado
Authors: Bonk Machado Tobias
Published: September 2020

Civilizado por el cristianismo, Brasil, com más de 500 anos de historia, construyó templos bajo la influencia e inspiración de sus colonizadores que enriquecieron la cultura de este país de dimensiones continentales. Los hermanos indígenas en Cristo, aunque disminuidos numéricamente, tienen una identidad constructiva y también juegan un papel de liderazgo en la evaluación de la arquitectura brasileña. Después de cinco siglos, la relación del pueblo brasileño con sus templos atraviesa un momento de incertidumbre con producciones arquitectónicas cuestionables y gran parte del patrimonio religioso degradado. Sin embargo, la comprensión mística del espacio sagrado después del Vaticano II sigue siendo un tema que claramente necesita evolucionar. Ante este escenario, este artículo promueve el debate sobre el papel del arquitecto misionero en las intervenciones del patrimonio sagrado brasileño y trae cuatro estudios de caso que demuestran tanto las realidades de la inculturación para el establecimiento de una Iglesia indígena como las heredadas de la arquitectura de la inmigración.
Vino nuevo en odres viejos
Authors: García Herrero Jesús
Published: September 2020

Los arquitectos Fernández del Amo y Bellosillo tuvieron un papel destacado en la profunda renovación que se dio en la diócesis de Madrid a partir de 1965, necesitada de nuevos templos tras su reorganización territorial. Ambos arquitectos también realizaron intervenciones en edificios históricos, si bien lejos del activo foco madrileño. Fernández del Amo en dos iglesias rurales del Valle del Tiétar (Ávila) y Bellosillo en la iglesia de El Salvador de Soria, manipularon drásticamente los edificios para adaptarlos a la liturgia posconciliar, enriqueciéndose las cuestiones tipológicas con las constructivas, las urbanas o con la integración de las artes. Por el contrario, los escasos proyectos de intervención en edificios históricos en la propia diócesis madrileña nunca vieron la luz.

Authors: Donadon Frederico Andreis Beneli , Santos David Ferreira Lopes
Published: September 2020

Este estudo tem como objetivo analisar o modelo de negócios, a estratégia e a capacidade de inovação de uma empresa alimentícia brasileira. Para tanto, metodologicamente, conduziu-se um estudo de caso sustentado em dados coletados através de entrevistas balizadas pela ferramenta de gerenciamento estratégico Business Model Canvas e pelo Octógono da Inovação, que foram validados com o Software IRAMUTEQ. Os resultados configuram um modelo de negócio amparado por uma estrutura interna de pesquisa e desenvolvimento (P&D), voltado para o lançamento de novos produtos de maior valor agregado, direcionados a demandas de consumo e de regulação. Este cenário competitivo, diverge dos resultados de outras pesquisas, principalmente no tocante ao baixo nível de investimento em P&D, ao caráter incremental das inovações, à dependência de commodities e à falta de efetividade nas atividades inovativas.

Risk information disclosure and its impact on analyst forecast accuracy
Authors: Tirado-Beltrán José Miguel , Cabedo-Semper J. David
Published: September 2020

This paper aims to analyse the influence of risk information disclosure on the accuracy of financial analysts’ earnings forecasts for the Spanish stock market. To do this, we performed a regression analysis with panel data on a sample comprised of non-financial firms listed on the Madrid Stock Exchange from 2010 to 2015. The results of the study show that risk information disclosed by firms does not help to reduce analysts’ uncertainty levels nor enable them to make more accurate forecasts of future profits. Furthermore, separately testing verified and unverified risk information disclosure confirms that there is no relationship between the risk information disclosed and the perception that analysts have on companies’ levels of risk.
Design, Optimization and Analysis of a 4-stroke Diesel Engine Piston and Piston rings using Different Materials
Authors: Tandon Adhir
Published: September 2020

Modern Automobiles expect a high performance from its engines, which in turn places its requirements on the piston and cylinder components. Hence the piston has to deal with harsher, and tougher thermal and mechanical conditions. It has to undergo higher operating temperatures and pressures as well as higher speeds and at the same time keeping a check on the emissions. Pistons play a key role in increasing engine efficiency by reducing weight and frictional losses. This has made it essential to devise and search unique and creative concepts and materials for Pistons repeatedly, which offers what the engine demands. In this work Aluminium Alloy-4032 has been selected as the piston material of a 4-Stroke Diesel Engine and the piston rings are made of grey cast iron and alloy steel. Piston is designed by analytical methods taking both thermal and structural effects into consideration, then modelled on CATIA V5 and the analysis of structural deformation due to thermal stresses has been done using Finite Element Analysis of Steady State Thermal and its effect on static structure using Analysis software ANSYS
Combined Effects of Periodic Suction and Permeability on MHD Oscillatory Flow of Rivlin Ericksen Fluid past a Moving Semi-infinite Porous Plate in the Presence of Thermal Radiation
Authors: . Deepti , Garg B. P.
Published: September 2020

In this paper the behaviour of unsteady flow of viscous incompressible and electrically conducting Rivlin Ericksen fluid past a semi-infinite vertical porous plate having variable permeability under thermal radiation effects is examined. Further the time dependent suction is assumed at the plate which is moving with constant velocity whereas the free stream velocity is assumed to be oscillating with time. The dimensionless governing equations for the fluid flow under investigation are reduced to set of ordinary differential equations using two term harmonic and non-harmonic functions and solved analytically under relevant boundary conditions. Further the analytical results obtained for velocity, temperature and concentration profiles are evaluated numerically and their variation with different flow parameters are shown graphically. Also, the variation behaviour of Skin friction, Nusselt number and Schmidt number along with their amplitudes and phase angles for pertinent parameters is displayed graphically.

The interest for power is expanding at a very high rate, and the generation of power is running in front of supply. The presentation of distributed vitality assets is the greatest change happening to the dispersion arrangement. There is an expanded reconciliation of distributed vitality assets with the circulation arrange utilizing power hardware converters to meet the consistently expanding request of power. In the future, normally, the entrance level of appropriated vitality assets will further increment. The association of circulated vitality assets with the circulation system brings about increment in the estimation of issue current, which can cause unusual conditions in the whole control framework to arrange. The equipment introduced at the producing station and the substation is over the top expensive. In this way, it is important to shield this equipment from the fault current. A fault current limiter (FCL) is a progressive power framework device that beats the issues because of expanded deficiency current levels. It is a device that lessens the imminent issue flows to a lower sensible level. In this paper principals of activity and structures of the different current limiter is examined. It surrenders short and to-date writing audit of regular shortcoming current constraining gadgets just as deficiency momentum constraining gadgets which are still in an examination or improvement arrange.
Controlling the Response of Plasmonic Nano-Antennas through Gap-Loading
Authors: Hussain Syed Irtaza , . Rahmatullah
Published: September 2020

Unlike previously reported works, in this paper, we aim to create a link between the radiating elements and the proposed device at a distance, so that the emission can be distantly and freely manipulated. We present here a new type of device, using nonlinear hybrid antenna-semiconductor interaction. We observe a picosecond transient response from the antenna that cannot be explained by either pure or antenna nonlinearities independently. We have shown that optical pumping of antenna-semiconductor interaction leads to a local reduction of the free-carrier density in the substrate. The transient nonlinear response of the antenna-semiconductor interaction hybrid shows a redshift of the plasmon resonance, as opposed to transient bleaching on SiO2.

To correlate clinical profile & laboratory parameters with final outcome in Plasmodium vivax (Pv) and Plasmodium falciparum (Pf) malaria
Authors: Kumar Choudhary Prashant , Goyal Prachi
Published: September 2020

A total of 230 confirmed cases of malaria were taken up for the study from the admitted patients in MGM Medical College & M. Y. Hospital, of which 141 were falciparum positive, 69 were vivax positive & 20 patients were positive for both Pf & Pv.

Comparison of duration of stay in Plasmodium falciparum and Plasmodium vivax malariaP value < 0.001 highly significant; <0.05 significant; >0.05 not significant, Comparison of hematological parameters in Plasmodium falciparum and Plasmodium vivax malaria P value < 0.001 highly significant; < 0.05 significant; > 0.05 not significant.

Cerebral malaria is the most lethal entity of severe malaria and children are more prone than other susceptible groups. Encephalopathy, shock and renal failure at the time of presentation were poor prognostic factors, while anemia and thrombocytopenia were not found to be associated with adverse outcome.

Thrombocytopenia is a key indicator of malaria infebrile patients. Nature of thrombocytopenia in malaria is benign, mostly recovering with antimalarials without platelet transfusions. In our study, mortality rate of malaria was found to be 4.7%. Pf was associated with higher mortality rate as compared to Pv. Complications were more common with Pf group, though they were also seen in Pv group.
Comparison of daily low dose cisplatin versus weekly cisplatin concurrently with radiotherapy during head and neck cancer
Authors: Gupta Ligu Leena , Jagtap Vikas , Bhattacharya Monchmee
Published: September 2020

Head and neck cancers can arise in the oral cavity, pharynx, larynx, nasal cavity, paranasal sinuses, thyroid, and salivary glands and include a variety of histopathologic tumours. Squamous cell cancer (SCC) is the most common pathological type of head and neck cancer.

This is prospective, Observational and comparative study.The diagnosis of untreated squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck region, i.e., oral cavity, oropharynx, hypopharynx, or larynx in advanced stage III, IVA or IVB SCCHN was confirmed by a radiation oncologist prior to the initiation of the treatment.

Patients were considered to comply with radiation treatment if they completed 70 Gy within 45 days. Chemotherapy compliance (six cycles in weekly or 28–30 cycles in daily cisplatin) were 63% and 73%, respectively. The primary reason for noncompliance toward chemotherapy (37% vs. 27% in weekly vs. daily Cisplatin studies, respectively) was due to the development of excessive toxicity. This also included those who left treatment midway (due to any reason) or died during therapy.

Therefore, if an intensified treatment protocol has to be used, i.e. modest acceleration along with either “weekly” or “daily” cisplatin, both can be used, provided patients are selected properly and due attention is paid to timely and adequate supportive care.

Authors: Panahandeh Samiyeh , Poursharifi Hamid , Dolatshahi Behrooz , Aghebati Asma
Published: September 2020

Objective: Eyberg Child Behavior Inventory (ECBI) is one of the most frequently used tools for measuring behavioral problems; however, no research has been done to evaluate its psychometric properties in Iran.
Method: The present study sought for exploring the factor structure and psychometric properties of the F-ECBI in an Iranian sample. A total of 495 mothers (mean age = 33.83 years; SD = 4.78) who reported behavioral problems in their children aged 3 to 12 years (mean age = 6.36 years; SD = 2.66) were selected via convenience sampling in 2018-2019. The psychometric properties of F-ECBI, including reliability (Cronbach’s alpha) and validity (exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis, and convergent validity) were assessed using SPSS version 25 and LISREL 8.80.
Results: By performing EFA on the first sample part (n = 360), the examination of scree plot supported a 3-factor or 4-factor solution, and pattern matrix resulted in a 3-factor structure. The factors were called as “behavioral problems related to oppositional defiant”, “behavioral problems related to inattentive”, and “behavioral problems related to conduct”, according to their content and the research. CFA was performed on the second part of the sample (n = 135) to test the fitness of the 3-factor solution. According to CFI (0.91), NFI (0.91), NNFI (0.90), IFI (0.91), PNFI (0.77), GFI (0.75) AGFI (0.70), PGFI (0.62) and chi-square (540.31) indexes, the model had acceptable fitness. Cronbach's alpha was employed to measure the internal consistency and it revealed to be at a good to excellent level (behavioral problems related to oppositional defiant = 0.88; behavioral problems related to inattentive = 0.84; behavioral problems related to conduct = 0.74). The 3-factors subscales were associated with total difficulties, internalizing and externalizing SDQ, indicating the good convergent validity of F-ECBI.
Conclusion: The F-ECBI has good psychometric properties in Iran and can be employed as a useful instrument for measuring children's behavioral problems.

Published: September 2020

Objective: Cardiovascular diseases are the main cause of mortality worldwide. Depression is one of the effective factors in the incidence of cardiovascular diseases like coronary artery stenosis. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between depression symptoms and severity of coronary artery disease (CAD) in patients scheduled for angiography.
Method: This prospective, cross sectional research was conducted on as many as 401 patients scheduled to undergo angiography at Dr. Heshmat heart hospital as the referral center in the north of Iran in 2016. Before cardiac catheterization, patients' demographic information (age, gender, level of education, and place of residence) and patients’ medical history (history of diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and family history of cardiac disease) were obtained. Also, Beck Depression Questionnaire 2 (BDI II) was completed by a psychologist before angiography. After collecting the data, SPSS v.21 and statistical tests such as Spearman correlation, and Mann-Whitney U regression were used to analyze the data.
Results: After controlling for age, sex, and having history of diabetes mellitus, no relation was found between having depression symptoms and more frequency of vessel involvement (OR = 1.35, 95% CI: 0.92 to 1.98, P =0.130) or higher severity of CAD (OR = 1.47, 95% CI: 0.95 to 2.28, P = 0.087). The results were similar for the relation between severity of depression symptoms and CAD extent or CAD severity.
Conclusion: The results of this study showed that in patients undergoing angiography, depression symptoms were not related to CAD severity and number of involved vessels. Depression was associated with angina, independently of CAD severity. Our study found no significant correlation between CAD severity and severity of depression. The reason may be that measuring depression at a single time point cannot accurately reveal the impact of this problem on the trend of atherosclerosis over time.
A Case Report of Vaginal Delivery at Home Due to Fear of Covid-19
Authors: Nosratabadi Mahnaz , Sarabi Nasrin , Masoudiyekta Leila
Published: September 2020

Introduction: Childbirth can be a normal and nonintervention process, but sometimes the process gets out of normal and requires immediate medical intervention. Thus, home delivery cannot be considered safe without coordination with the treatment staff. Sometimes fear of Covid-19 epidemic prevents mothers to go to the hospital for childbirth and they decide to do it in an unsafe condition, which puts the health of the mother and the neonate at risk.
Presentation Case: Our case was a pregnant woman  with a negative blood group (A-)  who did not come to the hospital because of fear of contracting Covid-19 from the hospital and decided to give birth at home without medical and midwifery support. After giving birth at home, she called the midwife who was taking care of her pregnancy. But she was still afraid to go to the medical center for postpartum care. The midwife informed the mother and her husband that they would be transferred to the midwifery clinic for further care and follow-up, with the necessary counseling and assurance of protective care to control Covid 19 transmission.
Conclusion: Counseling and training of protective methods during pregnancy can reduce the concerns of pregnant women. It is also recommended that pregnant women avoid unnecessary travel, public places, use of public transportation and contact with sick people, and most importantly, observe personal and public health issues. Some pregnant women may experience severe anxiety and depression during epidemics such as Covid 19, which require educational psychological counseling and continuous psychological support to prevent unintended consequences.

Comparison of Patient-Reported Outcomes between Two Different Techniques of Carpal Tunnel Release: Classical Incision versus Minimal Incision
Authors: Heidari Sajad , Taabbod Alireza , Farzan Mahmoud , Saberi Sadegh , Ashrafi Mitra
Published: September 2020

Background: Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is the most common compression neuropathy in the upper limb which needs surgery in many cases. Two common surgical incisions for carpal tunnel release (CTR) are classical incision and minimal incision. In this survey, the aim is to compare patient-reported outcomes of these two types of incisions.
Methods: In this retrospective study, patients with CTS who underwent two different approaches for CTR (classical or minimal) during one year were included. The diagnosis was confirmed clinically and by electrodiagnostic studies. The patients were categorized into two groups regarding the type of surgery. At the 12-month visit, the patients were assessed for functional outcome, level of the pain, and satisfaction with Quick Disability of Arm, Hand and Shoulder score (QuickDASH), the visual analogue score (VAS) scale, and the scar appearance and symptom relief, respectively.
Results: 39 patients were entered in this study, 3 of who had bilateral symptoms. The 42 operated hands were divided into two groups: classical incision group (n = 21) and minimal incision group (n = 21). No significant difference was discovered between the two groups considering age and sex. In addition, no significant difference was found in the variables evaluated between the two groups, except for the higher patient satisfaction with the scar appearance in minimal incision group after 12 months.
Conclusion: After a one-year period, the minimal incision procedure had no priority to classical incision procedure, except for higher patient satisfaction considering the scar appearance.

Authors: Silva Carolina Domladovac , Murakawa Clotilde De Almeida Azevedo
Published: September 2020

O presente artigo tem por objetivo elaborar um estudo metalexicográfico da variação linguística em perspectiva histórica. Por meio da análise semântico-lexical de algumas unidades lexicais relativas a doenças que acometiam a população, no contexto da mineração, no Brasil Colonial, mediante a observação de uma situação da língua escrita, verificam-se os aspectos referentes à variação de diferentes denominações de unidades lexicais ? gonorreia, esquentamento e purgação ? relativas a uma mesma enfermidade cutânea. As abreviaturas, no âmbito megaestrutural, e as marcas de uso, no microestrutural, revelam-se como parte essencial da definição em dicionários, recebendo atenção especial pela informação extralinguística contida, levando-se em conta as diferenças que permeiam o universo das obras. Por este viés sócio-histórico, buscar-se-á verificar se ocorreu mudança linguística em alguma destas unidades.

Este texto apresenta um estudo acerca da variação lexical na Região Sudeste do Brasil com vistas a discutir a distribuição diatópica dos designativos que recobrem o conceito para a “raiz branca por dentro, coberta por uma casca marrom, que se cozinha para comer”, questão 50 do Questionário Semântico-Lexical do Projeto Atlas linguístico do Brasil. Os dados são apresentados em gráficos, tabelas e cartas linguísticas perfazendo um total de 316 informantes distribuídos entre 79 municípios (37 paulistas, 23 mineiros, 17 fluminenses e 5 capixabas). O estudo traz comentários geolinguísticos dos informantes e evidencia a consciência deles no que tange à variação diatópica do Português Brasileiro. A distribuição dos itens revela duas áreas lexicais no território, uma de ocorrência de aipim e outra da variante mandioca, que permitem o traçado de linhas de isoléxicas e heteroléxicas na área investigada.
Particularidades do Português Tocantinense: resultados do Atlas Linguístico Topodinâmico e Topoestático do Estado do Tocantins (ALiTTETO)
Authors: Silva Greize Alves da
Published: September 2020

O atual Tocantins, desmembrado do espaço goiano em 1988, apresenta características migratórias intensas, sobretudo de populações procedentes das regiões Norte e Nordeste, o que se traduz em ações centrípetas e centrífugas relacionadas às formas dialetais de informantes locais e migrantes. Em razão desse movimento de falantes plurivarietais, realizamos o “Atlas Linguístico Topodinâmico e Topoestático do Estado do Tocantins” – ALiTTETO (2018), defendido como tese de doutorado na Universidade Estadual de Londrina. O trabalho, lato sensu, foi composto por inquéritos realizados em 12 localidades, junto a 96 informantes estratificados por idade, sexo e mobilidade (migrante e não migrante). Neste recorte, fornecemos resultados nos níveis fonético-fonológico, mais precisamente na variação do rótico em coda medial, que atrela o Tocantins a uma norma fonética presente nas regiões Norte e Nordeste brasileira; e no viés lexical, com a apresentação das variantes para libélula/cambito/cavalo/cavalinho (de/do capeta, cão, judeu), que demonstra a formação de área dialetal nas proximidades com o espaço intitulado como Falar Baiano.

Published: September 2020

There is an alternative approach to control the infectious diseases caused by pathogenic bacteria, especially resistant bacteria. This study was designed to determine the antimicrobial activities of Kalanchoe blossfeldiana and Paederia foetida plants’ extracts against some selected bacterial strains. K. blossfeldiana and P. foetida leaves were extracted in methanol. In vitro antibacterial activities were evaluated against 12 bacterial strains including, Staphylococcus gallinarum, Staphylococcus sciuri, Streptococcus constellatus, Streptococcus iniae, Aeromonas diversa, Xanthomonas campestris, Xanthomonas axonopodis, Siccibacter colletis, Edwardsiella anguillarum, Aeromonas cavernicola, Enterobacter xiangfangensis, and Vibrio rotiferianus. Antimicrobial activities were screened by the disk diffusion method. In addition, minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) was determined using broth dilution method. Data were analyzed using SPSS 16 statistical software. In antimicrobial screening, both the plant extracts showed highest inhibition (15 mm zone diameter) against S. gallinarum at the concentration of 20 μg/disk and 15 μg/disk, respectively. In the MIC test, both K. blossfeldiana and P. foetida leaves’ extracts showed the lowest MIC value of 100 μg/ml on V. rotiferianus and S. iniae, respectively. From the above findings, it can be concluded that the extracts may be used as a natural antibacterial agent for the treatment of some bacterial diseases. Further investigations on the chemical composition and possible isolation of active ingredients are warranted.

Integration in operations between 1990 Suwa Seriya ambulance service and A&E services of hospitals in Sri Lanka was assessed qualitatively using the Mini Focus Group Discussion (Mini-FGD) technique and applying a Likert scale survey. Agreed group-perceived satisfaction of the A&E staff was recorded based on identified thematic areas. The technique of patient handling, reliability of vital sign recording, providing random blood sugar reading, and professional relationship with hospital staff of Suwa Seriya emergency ambulance service were the thematic areas that recorded positive agreed group-perceived satisfaction indicating a potential to broaden the integration process with the A&E operations of the country. Quality of providing clinical history, administration of medication, and awareness of A&E operations of emergency ambulance service indicated least agreed group-perceived satisfaction. Moreover, providing clinical notes and investigation records such as electrocardiogram, sharing feedback about the patient, prehospital triaging, and pre-alert system were found to be non-operational. The health-care policymakers of Sri Lanka should exploit the positives and explore the negatives of the A&E staff perception on 1990 Suwa Seriya ambulance service, focusing on widening the integration process.

The objective of this work is the development and study of efficacy of an individual set of vestibular rehabilitation activities, including a set of exercises aimed at stabilizing the gaze, training postural stability and gait as well as the exercises for replacement and habituation and training of optokinetic reactions. The study involved 37 patients (aged from 27 to 68 years). To assess the patient’s condition and determine the efficacy of the method, the authors used: the standard otoneurological examination, videoinystagmorgraphy, WAM-questionnaire (wellbeing, activity and mood), the dizziness rating scale. The patients were examined before the rehabilitation activities and 3 months afterwards. Based on the neurological examination and vidoinystagmography, WAM-questionnaire and dizziness rating scale, the authors revealed the positive dynamics both in the course of the disease and of psychoemotional state of the patients. The Meniere’s disease, vestibular neuronitis, BPPV (Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo ) are more homogeneous vestibular pathologies in their manifestation, therefore, it becomes possible to use this individual set of exercises (ISE) for a large group of patients with positive response dynamics. Psychogenic vertigo is characterized by the greatest variability of clinical manifestations, a response to various vestibular influences, therefore, requires a more detailed selection of exercises from the individual set and also occupies the key place in the rehabilitation of patients.

The article covers the issues of specific features of the laryngeal pathology and the methods in managing the patients with voice disorders associated with autoimmune rheumatic diseases. A group of 25 patients with various autoimmune rheumatic diseases aged from 12 to 70 years was examined and underwent complex conservative treatment, including inhalation therapy and phonopedics, in Department of Phoniatrics of Clinical Research Centre of Otorhinolaryngology of Federal Medico-Biological Agency of Russia. All the patients were female. The article highlights the importance of individual and multidisciplinary approach in the treatment of voice disorders in the patients of this category. The article reflects the basic principles of application and the advantages of inhalation therapy over other methods of drug delivery to the larynx. The article outlines the main trends in the treatment of voice disorders and shows the efficacy of phonopedics in such conditions of the larynx as subatrophic chronic laryngitis, bamboo nodes of vocal folds. Based on the study conducted and the literature data analysis, the authors show the reasonableness and efficacy of a complex conservative treatment, including inhalation therapy and phonopedics, of voice disorders in the patients with autoimmune rheumatic diseases.

The article presents an interesting case of rare inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor of the larynx, associated with long-term chronic laryngitis and recurrent leukoplakia of the vocal fold. Patient P., 74 years old, was urgently tracheotomized due to rapidly progressive tumor stenosis of larynx in ENT-hospital on duty. A week later our clinic successfully performed laser microsurgical excision of the tumor with simultaneous decanulation. Such approach was possible due to intraoperative express histological examination, which showed no signs of malignancy. Following immunohistochemical analysis made it possible to diagnose a rare inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor. Over 10 years the patient P. suffered from chronic laryngitis and recurrent leukoplakia of the vocal folds, which was operated 3 times in our clinic. Since the role of chronic inflammation is discussed in the genesis of myofibroblastic tumor and laryngeal leukoplakia of the larynx, we prescribed a prolonged 2-months course of azithromycin after the excision of the tumor. This treatment option rarely used in chronic laryngitis, resulted in substantial improvement of voice quality, stable remission of chronic laryngitis and the absence of recurrence of leukoplakia and inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor in patient P. during the next 2-year observatin. A retrospective histological examination of the histological preparation of leukoplakia removed from patient P. in 2012, showed the presence of a biofilm of coccal flora and few bacilli covering the keratosic masses. This finding, together with obvious clinic effect of prolonged antibacterial treatment, gives the reason to suggest a significant role of bacterial inflammation in the genesis of larynx leukoplakia.

Актуальность исследования обусловлена необходимостью поиска оптимальных решений по организации сжигания полифракционного пылеугольного топлива на действующих и новых тепловых электрических станциях с учетом снижения выбросов вредных веществ, в частности оксидов азота. За последнее десятилетие значительно выросли экологические требования, направленные на регулирование выбросов от угольных электростанций в атмосферу, которые были спроектированы в целях повышения тепловой эффективности. В настоящее время проблема совершенствования экологических параметров ТЭС в России обостряется тем, что большинство действующих станций не удовлетворяют современным экологическим нормам и требованиям. Цель: установить влияние организации сжигания твердого топлива на топочные процессы при минимальной возможной модернизации действующего парового котла с использованием низкоэмиссионных горелочных устройств. Объекты: топочная камера энергетического котла в проектном исполнении и в варианте с заменой проектных горелочных устройств на низкоэмиссионные. Методы. Численное исследование проведено с использованием пакета прикладных программ Ansys Fluent v.12.1. Математическое моделирование физико-химических процессов в топочной камере на основе Эйлеро–Лагранжева подхода, который позволяет выявить главные взаимодействия процессов переноса частиц. Математические модели горения угольной пыли с кинетическими параметрами заданы и включены в код в качестве пользовательских функций. Результаты. Разработана математическая модель на основе пакета прикладных программ с качественным представлением сложных физико-химических процессов в объеме топочной камеры. Дана оценка возможности организации сжигания каменного угля в низкоэмиссионных горелочных устройствах с учетом оптимального соотношения первичного и вторичного воздуха без изменения установочных углов лопаточных заверителей. В данном исследовании установлено снижение концентрации оксидов азота на 14 % при замене проектных двухканальных вихревых горелочных устройств на низкоэмиссионные.
