Published: February 2023

Aim      To evaluate changes in traditional risk factors (RF) during cardiac rehabilitation (CR) programs with remote support in patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF) after catheter ablation (CA).

Material and methods  The lack of control of cardiovascular RFs is a predictor for AF recurrence after CA, development of complications, and decreased life expectancy. Telemedical CR programs may improve the control of RF and enhance the CR efficacy. This randomized controlled clinical study in three parallel groups included 135 patients aged 35 to 79 years. In groups 1 and 2, CR programs with remote support were performed, which included a single personal consulting for the disease, achieving control of all patient’s RFs, and remote support during 3 months (group 1, by phone and group 2, by e-mail). Participants of group 3 received standard recommendations. Body weight, blood pressure (BP), blood lipids, smoking status, and physical activity (PA) were determined at baseline and at 12 months after CA with the IPAQ questionnaire.

Results In both intervention groups at 12 months, there were positive changes in RF: body weight index decreased by 3.6 % in group 1 (р=0.01) and by 2.3 % in group 2 (р=0.002) vs. 0 in the control group; systolic BP decreased by 7.1 % (p<0.001) and 1.5 % (p=0.003) in groups 1 and 2 (vs. increases by 3.3 % in group 2); total cholesterol decreased by 9.4 % (p<0.001) and by 6.3 % (p=0.003), respectively, (vs. 0 in group 3); values of metabolic equivalents (METs) used for walking increased by 55.0 % (р=0.014), 75.0 % (р=0.001), and 1.4 % in groups 1, 2 and 3, respectively. No significant intergroup differences in the frequency of AF recurrence, repeated CA, and hospitalizations were found.

Conclusion      CR programs with remote support provide improved control of BP, body weight, blood cholesterol, and AF in patients with AF after CA, according to the results of the one-year follow-up.

Published: February 2023

Aim      To evaluate the incidence and characteristic features of left atrial appendage (LAA) thrombosis in patients with persistent nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (AF) after COVID-19.

Material and methods  Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) was performed for 469 patients (57.4 % males; mean age, 64.0 [58.0; 70.0] years) with persistent nonvalvular AF before scheduled sinus rhythm restoration. In 131 of these patients (27.9 %), the most recent episode of arrhythmia developed during the coronavirus infection. The time from the onset of COVID-19 to TEE was 145 [62; 303] days. All patients received an adequate anticoagulant therapy, in most cases, with direct oral anticoagulants for at least 3 weeks preceding the study.

Results A LAA thrombus was detected in 20 (5.9 %) patients who have had no coronavirus infection and in 19 (14.5 %) patients after COVID-19 (р=0.0045). 18 of 19 (94.7 %) thrombi found in patients who have had COVID-19 were mural whereas only 5 (25.0 %) of such thrombi were found in patients who have had no COVID-19 (p<0.0001). In the absence of LAA thrombus, the LAA emptying velocity was 32.0 [25.0; 40.0] cm/sec whereas in the presence of a mural thrombus, it was 25.0 [20.0; 32.3] cm/sec, and in the presence of a typical thrombus, it was 17.0 [13.5; 20.0] cm/sec (р<0.0001). A Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that the median time of mural thrombus dissolution was 35.0 (95 % confidence interval (CI), 24.0–55.0) days and for a typical thrombus, this time was 69.0 (95 % CI, 41.0–180.0) days (р=0.0018).

Conclusion      Patients with persistent AF who have had COVID-19 had LAA thrombosis 2,5 times more frequently and, in most cases, the thrombus was mural. Mural thrombi, in contrast to typical, are not associated with a pronounced decrease in LAA emptying velocity and dissolve twice as fast as typical thrombi with an adequate anticoagulant treatment.

Published: February 2023

It has been established that in the process of joint heat treatment of a mixture of red mud – quartz-leucoxene concentrate, a change in the chemical composition occurs with the formation of pseudobrookite, which has an increased chemical activity compared to the original quartzleucoxene concentrate. It has been established that the product of the combined heat treatment of red mud and acid tar consists of a mixture of aluminum, iron, and titanium sulfates that are readily soluble in water. Calcium sulfate and silicon compounds have been isolated as insoluble impurities. It is confirmed that in order to achieve the maximum degree of interaction, the mixture of red mud and acid tar must be heated at a rate of no more than 1–2 °C/min until 550 °C and time 60 min.

International Perspectives on the Role of Indigenous Fathers in Caring for Their Infants: A Scoping Study
Authors: Wright Amy L , VanEvery Rachel , Johnson David , Martin Landon , McGall Clare , Cano Jennifer K , Burnside Heather
Published: February 2023

Introduction

Effective early childhood development interventions require a thorough understanding parental roles in supporting their infants’ health. Yet, the role of Indigenous fathers is not well illustrated within the literature. This scoping study synthesizes the roles that Indigenous fathers have in promoting the health and development of their infants, using an international perspective. Findings support future research to develop effective early childhood parenting interventions that address the unique needs of Indigenous fathers.

Methods

Scoping methodology was undertaken with inclusion criteria stipulating infants less than two years of age, and describing the role of Indigenous fathers (or father figures) in meeting the health and/or developmental needs of their infants. Descriptive and pattern coding were used during data extraction and synthesis. Collaboration with Indigenous community partners, including First Nations fathers, promoted ethical research conduct and findings framed within Indigenous ways of knowing.

Results

Findings highlight a journey to becoming a father, beginning with assuming a new identity as a father, establishing their fathering role, and supporting one another throughout the journey. This process has significant implications for a child’s development and wellbeing and related health policy.

Conclusions

This review synthesizes the experiences of Indigenous fathers across the globe, and while the journey is not fully understood, these initial findings are helpful to support future research and health policy. It is in the best interests of children if men are proactively supported in their transition to fatherhood as early as possible to promote a positive impact on their children’s development and future wellbeing.
Mit Gai: diachronia aspektu kulturowego
Authors: Abramowycz Semen
Published: February 2023

Autor artykułu przekonuje, że archaiczne mity o Matce Ziemi nie umierają w naszej podświadomości, zwłaszcza grecki mit Gai, ktora zrodziła wszystko – aż po Niebo, Ocean i bogow, ulegając przekształceniu w materialistyczny pogląd na świat. Mity te pełne są zarowno podziwu dla życiodajnej mocy Ziemi, jak i lęku przed jej tajemniczymi głębinami, ktore utożsamiano z krolestwem zmarłych. Ziemia zrodziła i pochłonęła swoje dzieci, co zostało ucieleśnione w obrazach bogow, ktorzy umarli i zmartwychwstali; symbolizują wieczne naturalne cykle, a postacie dii minoris były ucieleśnieniem tajemniczej hojności i wrogości Ziemi. Wraz z przejściem od pogaństwa do chrześcijaństwa wszelka materia zaczęła być rozumiana jako tymczasowe stworzenie transcendentnego Boga, zdolne do buntu przeciwko Stworcy pod wpływem diabła. To zdesakralizowało naturę i pobudziło chęć jej podboju i rozwijania pozytywnej wiedzy. Zsekularyzowana kultura Nowego Czasu stworzyła mit o Człowieku – Tytanie, ktory musi uczynić świat lepszym. Mit Gai został zmodyfikowany według mitu prometejskiego, nabywając charakteru idei „przemiany świata” i przekształcając się w utopijne koncepcje i postulaty religii świeckich. W związku z tym w literaturze i sztuce nowoczesności narasta heroizacja „prometeizmu” i funkcjonalna rola obrazu ziemi i przyrody w ogole, ktory zaczyna być postrzegany jako rodzaj względnego kryterium prawdy i jako środowiska człowieka, ktory ją poprawia. Wraz z umacnianiem pozycji utylitarnej myśli naukowej i inżynierskiej oraz rownoległym wyczerpywaniem się zasobow naturalnych, a także globalnymi katastrofami humanitarnymi XX w. mit Człowieka jako Władcy Ziemi się degraduje. Marzenie o odnowieniu świata przerodziło się w patologiczny lęk przed zbuntowaną rzeczywistością i walką z nią wszelkimi sposobami, głownie oszustwem i przemocą. Zamiast oczekiwanego Tytana misje mesjanistyczne coraz częściej realizują ludzie bezwartościowi i niemoralni, czasami nawet chorzy psychicznie, w ktorych zdemoralizowane propagandą „masy zbuntowane” naiwnie widzą ucieleśnienie własnego wyobrażenia o dominacji nad światem, wielkości i powołaniu. Sytuację reprezentuje postać Władimira Putina, zwykłego, niewykształconego i złożonego człowieka, ktory ma obsesję na punkcie terytoriow, ktore zamienia w martwe pustynie. Fragmenty tej mitologii są wykorzystywane w geopolitycznych wojnach informacyjnych: mitologemy takie jak „nieczysty Zachod” są galwanizowane w propagandzie; „duże” i „małe” kłamstwa, falsyfikaty i fake newsy są już postrzegane jako norma, i wszystko to wskazuje na globalny systemowy kryzys kultury.

The Role of Serum Cadmium Levels in the Etiology of Premature Ovarian Failure: A Case-Control Study
Authors: ÇİÇEK Sevil , KIRICI Pınar , KARAER Abdullah
Published: February 2023

Premature ovarian failure (POF) is a clinical syndrome known to affect approximately 1% of women of reproductive age. A number of genetic, autoimmune, metabolic, infectious and environmental causes have been identified in the etiology of POF. Cadmium is a toxic metal which can accumulate in ovaries and causes a significant decrease in the binding of gonadotropins that regulate steroidogenic enzyme activity in granulosa cells. We aimed to investigate the role of cadmium in the etiology of POF. Thirty-five patients with POF were enrolled in group 1 which was the study group. Two control groups were formed from healthy participants. Thirty-fiveparticipants who were age-matched young women with regular menstruation were included in group 2.Thirty-fivehealthy postmenopausal women were included in group 3. Patients' demographic data were recorded. Serum follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), estradiol (E2), thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), triiodothyronine (T3), thyroxine (T4) and cadmium levels were measured. There was a statistically significant difference between the groups for gravida, parity and living children (p<0.001), but no difference was found for abortion (p=0.430). While there was a statistically significant difference between the groups for serum FSH, LH and E2 levels (p<0.001), no statistically significant difference was found for T3, T4 and TSH. Serum cadmium levels were found to be statistically significantly decreased in group 1 compared to g roups 2 and 3 (p<0.001). This study revealed that cadmium had no direct effect on the development of POF, but it should be kept in mind that the synergistic and antagonistic effects of metals may affect this result.

UMA ANÁLISE SOBRE A INFLUÊNCIA DA PERSPECTIVA SOCIOSSEMIÓTICA DA LINGUAGEM NA CONCEITUAÇÃO DE DISCURSO PROPOSTA POR FAIRCLOUGH
Authors: Morais Anielle , Ferreira da Costa Alexandre
Published: February 2023

Ao longo de sua elaboração teórica, Norman Fairclough promove uma significativa movimentação no conceito de discurso. Se no livro Discourse and social change (1992) o autor define discurso sob uma perspectiva tridimensional, em Discourse in late modernity: rethinking critical discourse analysis (1999), com a colaboração de Lilie Chouliaraki, Fairclough passa a pensar o discurso como um elemento semiótico da prática social. Na reflexão proposta por este trabalho, preconizamos que a mudança no panorama teórico referido foi, sobremaneira, influenciada pela perspectiva sociossemiótica da linguagem, um pressuposto cunhado por Michael Halliday como um conjunto de sistemas e de significados abertos à vida social e entrecortados pelo contexto e pela cultura.

Fault propensity of software is the prospect that the component contains faults. To forecast fault proneness of modules different techniques have been proposed which includes statistical methods, machine learning techniques, etc. Machine learning techniques can be used to analyze data from different perspectives and enable developers to retrieve useful information. Machine learning techniques are proven to be useful in terms of software bug prediction. This is leading to increase in development of machine learning methods for exploring data sets, which can be used in constructing models for predicting quality attributes such as fault proneness. This research work analyzed various fault prediction techniques and proposed a new algorithm GMFPA (Genetic Metric Fault Prediction Algorithm) to explore the fault prone modules by using metrics. The GMFPA is used to identify fault with highest gain value by forming the hypothesis set.
Impact of Global Streaming Platforms on Television Production
Authors: Vodičková Karolína
Published: February 2023

The television industry is facing new challenges when adapting to the current streaming ‎culture and exploring possibilities of digital distribution. Global streaming services are perceived as a‎ major source of audiovisual entertainment in various countries regardless of the cultural and national‎ heritage of the viewers and thus market competition has immensely increased. This paper focuses on the ‎influence of global video-on-demand (VOD) services on audiovisual production on a national scale. The‎ emphasis is on television production as the audience is transferring into the digital environment – this ‎is perceived as an opportunity for television to appear more competitive while drawing on its unique‎ knowledge of the national audience. The case study demonstrates how the audiovisual industry in the ‎Czech Republic is an example of a strongly nationally oriented market whose evolvement is impacted by‎ the presence of global platforms such as Netflix or HBO Max. Furthermore, by providing examples from ‎the Czech platforms’ market, the case study also illustrates the expansion of local broadcasting providers ‎into the digital sphere.‎
Solving the Mystery of Time and Unifying Relativity with Quantum Mechanics
Authors: Niemz Markolf H. , Stein Siegfried W.
Published: February 2023

Today's concept of time traces back to Albert Einstein's theories of special (SR) and general relativity (GR). In SR, uniformly moving clocks are slow with respect to my clocks. In GR, clocks in a more curved spacetime are slow with respect to my clocks. Many physicists anticipate that GR has an issue as it is not compatible with quantum mechanics. Here we show: Einstein's concept of time has an issue because the proper time of some observer is taken as the fourth coordinate of all objects in the universe. We choose "Euclidean time" (proper time of an object), which is the absolute value of a 4D vector "flow of time" divided by the speed of light. This vector is pointing from the Big Bang in Euclidean spacetime (ES) to the object. In Euclidean relativity (ER), each clock has a unique flow of time related to its position in ES and is thus slow with respect to an observer's clock. It is not slow in its, but in his proper flow of time. Unlike other ER models, we claim that an observer's reality is formed by projecting ES to his proper 3D space and to his proper flow of time. GR misinterprets this projection as a curved spacetime. We derive the same Lorentz factor as in SR and the same gravitational time dilation as in GR. Predictions made by SR are correct because the Lorentz transformation is equivalent to one 4D rotation of an object's flow of time. A cosmology that is based on GR needs additional concepts, such as dark energy, to compensate for the ignored 4D vectors "flow of time". ER is superior to SR and GR as it solves 13 fundamental mysteries, such as time, time's arrow, mc2, two competing Hubble constants, the wave–particle duality, and quantum entanglement.
Biased Random Process of Randomly Moving Particles with Constant Average Velocitie
Authors: Guo Tao
Published: February 2023

In a randomly moving particle swarm with fixed kinetic energy, the particle speeds follow the Maxwell distribution. In a certain period, the moving directions of particles in a sub-particle swarm may aggregate. Thus, the movements of the particles have the characteristics of biased stochastic movement. Regarding the biased particle swarm formed by a series of randomly moving particles (with a uniform average velocity c) with a greater probability of moving in a certain direction and the same probability of moving in other directions, there is a certain group velocity u in this direction, while the diffusion rate in other directions is slower than that of unbiased moving particles with the same average speed c. Moreover, the degree of slowing follows the Lorentz-like factor. In this article, the characteristics of this kind of biased random process are deduced starting from a biased random walk by using probability theory, and the expression of the Ito equation is provided. This article is expected to provide a reference to understand the nature of the special relativity effect.

Authors: Aslam Muhammad
Published: February 2023

Consumption of poultry meat is higher than red meat due to easy availability, good taste, low cost and palatability. Significant improvement in meat yield and growth rate of broiler chicken has been brought about with the help of genetic selection of desirable traits. The present study was conducted to comparatively evaluate the chronic effect of domestic and broiler chicken meat consumption on male hypothalamic pituitary gonadal axis, lipid profile and oxidative stress on postnatal male rats. Rats were divided into five groups: control, B1, B2, D1 and D2 groups and were fed with 0.17g and 0.34g of broiler and domestic chicken meat from postnatal day 21 to PND90.The significant elevated body weight and weight gain in B2 group (P<0.01), minor change in B1 and D40 group (P<0.05) were detected. In gonadosomatic index absolute and relative epididymis weight, weight of seminal vesical and Prostate weight was significantly augmented in B2 compared to control and D2. Kidney and liver weight in B1, B2 was markedly elevated and minor change in D2 groups. ROS level in B2 was significantly higher than other experimental groups. Serum level of FSH, LH, testosterone, estradiol and low density lipoprotein was significantly elevated in B2 compared to control and D2. In B2 rats fed with 0.34g broiler meat exhibited a marked decreased seminiferous tubule diameter, epithelial height and increased lumen diameter changes that were more prominent compared to rats fed with 0.34g domestic chicken meat. Conclusively chronic administration of broiler meat induces marked alteration in reproductive system, testicular morphology, sexual hormones and oxidative stress in postnatal Sprague Dawley male rats compared to domestic chicken meat.

Cardiac complications of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection have been well-identified since the beginning of the current coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Such conditions can occur of various etiologies, such as respiratory failure and hypoxemia, direct cardiac tissue damage due to viral replication, indirect myocarditis as systemic inflammation, and the interaction of different medications. Recently, with the start of the COVID-19 vaccination programs, COVID-19 vaccine-associated cardiac adverse events (AEs) have emerged and are increasingly being reported. Although these AEs are usually mild and self-limited, they can sometimes cause severe, catastrophic outcomes. This review compares the pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment of the de novo SARS-CoV-2 infection-related and COVID-19 vaccine-related myocarditis and pericarditis.

This article aimed at providing some extension of the modal square of opposition in the 1 light of Ockham’s account of the modal operators. Moreover, we shall set forth some significant 2 remarks on the de re-de dicto distinction and on the modal operator of contingency by means of a 3 Boolean algebra called Bitstring Semantics. This generalisation starting from Ockham’s account of 4 modalities will allow us to take into consideration whether Ockham’s thought on this matter holds 5 water or not, and in which case it should be changed in order to make it coherent.

Published: February 2023

Vision loss can be avoided if diabetic retinopathy (DR) is diagnosed and treated promptly. Following are the main 5 DR stages: none, moderate, mild, proliferate, and severe. In this study, a deep learning (DL) model is presented that diagnoses all 5 stages of DR with more accuracy than previous methods. The suggested method presents two scenarios: case 1 with image enhancement using contrast limited adaptive histogram equalization (CLAHE) filtering algorithm in conjunction with an Enhanced Super-resolution generative adversarial network (ESRGAN), and case 2 without image enhancement; augmentation techniques are then performed to generate a balanced dataset utilizing the same parameters for both cases. Using Inception-V3 applied to the Asia Pacific Tele-Ophthalmology Society (APTOS) datasets, the developed model achieved an accuracy of 98.7% for case 1 and 80.87% for case 2, which is greater than existing methods for detecting the five stages of DR. It was demonstrated that using CLAHE and ESRGAN improves a model's performance and learning ability.

Published: February 2023

In European countries many measures are carried out to improve the disadvantaged conditions and socio-economic marginality of rural areas in comparison with central places. These conditions also affect the quality of travel for visitors and tourists. Therefore, in response to a 'new' tourist demand, motivated also by the restrictions following the spread of the Covid-19 virus in recent years, the institutions and the different local actors are working more incisively to improve rural areas. The rural tourism services offer, combined with the Green Infrastructure (GI) project, at different scales - from local to regional - prove to be interesting territorial development strategies to achieve the Agenda 2030 objectives. This contribution considers the Sulcis Iglesiente - Guspinese area, in the Sardinia Region (IT), as a case study. In this area, the landscape context is marked by past mining activity and the project of a path of historical, cultural and religious values has proved to be an activator of regenerative processes, in environmental, social and economic terms. The present study proposes a methodological approach to develop an index (FI - Feasibility Index) to assess the feasibility of the Stop Places (SPs) schemes along a horse trail to integrate the current slow mobility by bicycle and pedestrian in the bioregion.

Published: February 2023

Soil erosion is one of the most important environmental problems which can have various negative consequences, such as land degradation affecting the sustainable development and the agricultural production, especially for developing countries like Tunisia. Moreover, soil erosion is a major problem around the world because of its effects on soil fertility by nutriment loss and siltation in water bodies. Apart from this, soil erosion by water is the most serious type of land loss in several regions both locally and globally. This study evaluated regional soil erosion risk through the derivation of appropriate factors, using the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE), which was applied to establish a soil erosion risk map of the whole Tunisian territory and to identify the vulnerable areas of the country. RUSLE model take into account all the factors playing a major role in erosion processes, namely the erodibility of soils, topography, land use, rainfall erosivity and anti-erosion farming practices. The equation is thus implemented under Geographic Information System (GIS) “Arc GIS Desktop”. The results indicated that Tunisia has a serious risk of soil water erosion, showing that 6.43% of the total area of the country is affected by a very high soil loss rate estimated at more than 30 t/ha/year and 4.20% are affected by high mean annual soil loss ranging from 20 to 30 t/ha/year. The most eroded areas were identified in west southern, central and western parts of the country. The spatial erosion map can be used as a decision support document to guide decision-makers towards better land management and provide the opportunity to develop management strategies for soil erosion prevention and control in the global scale of Tunisia.

Published: February 2023

Cardiogenic shock (CS) is part of a clinical syndrome consisting of acute left ventricular failure causing severe hypotension leading to inadequate organ and tissue perfusion. The most com-monly used devices to support patients affected by CS are Intra-Aortic Balloon Pump (IABP), Impella 2.5 pump and Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation. The aim of this study is the com-parison between Impella and IABP using CARDIOSIM© software simulator of the cardiovascular system. The results of the simulations included baseline conditions from a virtual patient in CS followed by IABP assistance in synchronized mode with different driving and vacuum pressures. Subsequently, the same baseline conditions were supported by the Impella 2.5 with different ro-tational speeds. The percentage variation with respect to baseline conditions was calculated for hemodynamic and energetic variables during IABP and Impella assistance. Impella pump driven with a rotational speed of 50000 rpm increased the total flow by 4.36% with a reduction in left ventricular end diastolic volume (LVEDV) by ≅15% to ≅30%. A reduction in left ventricular end systolic volume (LVESV) by ≅10% to ≅18% (≅12% to ≅33%) was observed with IABP (Impella) as-sistance. Taking into account the limitations of a simulation setting, this study highlights that assistance with the Impella device leads to higher reduction in LVESV, LVEDV, left ventricular external work and left atrial pressure-volume loop area compared to IABP support.

Wobbling Fractals for the Double–Sine–Gordon Equation
Authors: Maccari Attilio
Published: February 2023

This paper presents the perturbation theory for the double–sine–Gordon equation. We obtain a system of differential equations that shows the amplitude and phase modulation of the approximate solution.. In the particular case λ = 0 we get the well-known perturbation theory for the sine–Gordon equation. For a special value λ=-1/8, we derive a phase-locked solution with the same frequency of the linear case. In general we obtain both coherent (solitary waves, lumps and so on) solutions as well as fractal solutions. We can demonstrate the existence of envelope wobbling solitary waves, because of the phase modulation depending on the solution amplitude and on the position. The main conclusion is that it is too reductive focus only on coherent solutions for the double sine-Gordon equation, because of the very rich behavior for the DSG nonlinear equation, including wobbling chaotic and fractal solutions.
