International Legal Aspects of the Reunification of Crimea with Russia in the Context of the Practice of the International Court of Justice
Authors: MEZYAEV Alexander
Published: November 2019

The article addresses, from a sources of law perspective, the problem of legal qualification of Crimean reunification with Russia. Special attention is given to analyzing the International Court of Justice decision on the unilateral secession of Kosovo, including written statements by particular States during the ICJ hearings on this issue. The author argues why referring to the advisory opinion of the ICJ on Kosovo's declaration of independence is not appropriate in the Crimean case, and why the legitimacy of Crimea's reunification with Russia is much higher than the estimated, from the ICJ's point of view, legitimacy of Kosovo's secession.

DIFFERENT CRITERIA BETWEEN DERIVATIONAL AND INFLECTIONAL MORPHEMES IN ENGLISH
Authors: Yusuf Adi
Published: November 2019

In learning English words, it is very important to know the smallest unit which contributes to determine a new word or meaning, called ‘morpheme’. There are two kinds of morphemes whether they create a new word or a new meaning: derivational morphemes and inflectional morphemes. This paper would like to discuss some different criteria that help to distinguish between English inflectional and derivational affixes, they are: (a) derivational affixes change a word and/or the meaning, but not all. However, inflectional affixes do not., (b) the place of derivational affixes is closer than that of inflectional affixes, the place of inflectional affixes is outside derivational affixes., (c) derivational affixes apply to restricted classes of stems, while inflectional affixes barely have exception., (d) derivational affixes are not relevant to the syntax, however inflectional affixes are relevant., (e) derivational morphemes can be attached by prefixes and suffixes, on the other hand, inflectional morphemes are only added by suffixes., and (f) derivational morphemes are semantically opaque, while inflectional morphemes are rarely semantically opaque.

Identificación del modelo pedagógico - matemático en la práctica docente
Authors: Sánchez Salcán Narcisa de Jesús , Londo Yachambáy Fabian Patricio
Published: November 2019

Todos estamos preocupados por el bajo desempeño que los estudiantes tienen en el aprendizaje de las matemáticas. Las evaluaciones de los estudiantes a nivel nacional e internacional exponen profundas deficiencias, teniendo como antecedente que Ecuador reprobó en Matemáticas en la evaluación internacional PISA (Programme For International Student Assessment), por tal motivo la presente investigación pretende identificar el modelo pedagógico que están empleando los docentes del área de Matemática al impartir sus clases a los estudiantes del nivel de Educación Básica Superior. El tipo de investigación es descriptivo, con un diseño de investigación no experimental. La población objeto de estudio son los docentes que laboran en las Unidades Educativas del distrito Chambo Riobamba. Las técnicas empleadas para la recolección de los datos fueron: entrevista, observación y encuesta. De los resultados obtenidos se concluye que, en las instituciones educativas destinadas para el estudio, algunos docentes privilegian la explicación de algoritmos basados en aprender etapas o pasos en la resolución de problemas, sin dar lugar a lo más importante: su comprensión, solo deben memorizar pasos, ecuaciones o procedimientos, lo que corresponde a un modelo pedagógico tradicional y conductista.

Published: November 2019

Los Sistemas de Información Geográfica (SIG) y su aplicación en diversas temáticas de la planificación como es el caso del transporte de pertenencias y productos, los SIG se han centrado esencialmente en la movilidad de las personas en el entorno urbano. En la actualidad, la problemática para entidades gubernamentales es: impulsar el movimiento de los ciudadanos, optimizar las rutas, mejorar los tiempos de frecuencia y garantizar la calidad del transporte público. La investigación se fundamenta en los principios teóricos de la geografía del transporte, explora conceptos de accesibilidad y movilidad espacial para señalar las tendencias de actividad en núcleos residenciales, como en el caso del centro y algunas zonas periféricas de la ciudad de Riobamba. El proceso investigativo se fundamentó, en el descubrimiento de datos, iniciando por la extracción de información, luego la recopilación y clasificación de archivos geográficos, tablas de datos e información proporcionados por entes del gobierno seccional, los que fueron procesados y transformados para ser representados en mapas de: densidad poblacional, rutas de transporte y densidad de infraestructura educativa. Se obtuvieron resultados que permitieron identificar el desbalance tanto en la distribución espacial, densidad de rutas de transporte y la insuficiente integración del servicio. Las líneas de autobuses en su mayoría confluyen al centro de la ciudad, con bajos niveles de tiempos respuesta privando a los usuarios de una movilidad descentralizada e integradora. Para asociar los nodos y arcos conectados a la red de transporte se utilizó la Teoría de Grafos y, a partir de las características morfológicas de la ciudad, se aplicó análisis de redes para el diseño de las nuevas rutas de transporte, interconectando los nuevos nodos y centralidades, integrando las nuevas rutas, garantizando a los usuarios una movilidad adecuada a servicios públicos y privados, localizados en la ciudad de Riobamba.

Published: November 2019

This research had as its ultimate objective to analyze the effects of the use of audiovisual materials in the development of oral expression in 55 ninth grader of basic education at the Unidad Educativa “Vicente Anda Aguirre”, during the first part of the first term of 2018-2019 academic year. To achieve the objective, two evaluations were applied in two moments (pre-test and post-test). The assessments were developed based on Speaking skills through the Cambridge Preliminary English Text (PET) exam. Additionally, students and teachers were surveyed in order to obtain data related to the practice in the classroom. A booklet was designed which contained ten lesson plans. They were applied during the intervention period. The lessons focused on the use of audiovisual materials such as computer and internet, online tools, flipcharts, television and cartoons in combination with oral expression strategies such as: planning, execution, and evaluation. The data obtained was evaluated through the Cronbach Alpha test that allowed verifying the reliability of the results. After finishing the intervention with the study or experimental group, the post-test was applied, which allowed obtaining the results that were analyzed and contrasted with those obtained in the pre-test, using the T-Student test. The results obtained with the experimental group proved that the students improved their oral expression and experienced greater interest and motivation, through the use of audiovisual materials. Hence, it is recommended that teachers include in their didactic planning the use of audiovisual materials to improve students’ performance.

Authors: Sánchez Romero Judith , León Abella Cindy , Argibay Wood Amy
Published: November 2019

La animación turística es considerada uno de los elementos importantes dentro de la concepción estratégica de cualquier instalación; las entidades de ocio y recreación juegan un papel esencial para el disfrute de los visitantes y la planificación de actividades de animación las convierte en un factor diferenciador con respecto a la competencia local existente. La ausencia de programas de animación, o la existencia de estos, pero basados en actividades repetitivas y poco novedosas para el cliente, constituyen problemáticas evidentes en muchas entidades de ocio de Cuba. Tal es el caso del club de jazz La Zorra y El Cuervo, entidad que cuenta con una programación artística basada únicamente en las presentaciones diarias de grupos de jazz conocidos por los amantes del género. De ahí que, el propósito fundamental de este trabajo es diseñar un proyecto operativo de animación turística basado en actividades interactivas vinculadas al jazz para el club La Zorra y el Cuervo. Para dar respuesta a este objetivo se utilizaron tres procedimientos dentro de los métodos teóricos: abstracción e integración; inducción y deducción; análisis y síntesis; en los empíricos: el método de la encuesta como: la observación científica, la entrevista y el cuestionario dirigidas a clientes, permitieron determinar las actividades recreativas que conforman el proyecto operativo de animación de la entidad objeto de estudio, junto a un análisis de pre-factibilidad del mismo.
Globalized Islam in Europe: The Cartoon Crisis as Transnational Politics
Authors: LINJAKUMPU AINI
Published: November 2019

The beginning of the 21st century has witnessed distinctive examples of a global politicized Islam: Islamic controversies originating in the actions of non-Muslims. The most important of these has been the 'cartoon crisis', originating in the cartoons of Mohammad published by the Danish Jyllands-Posten. The article describes and analyzes the reactions of Muslims as they developed in the context of the cartoon crisis. The significance of the Islamic public sphere in understanding the crisis is discussed in theoretical terms. It is argued that the crisis demonstrated the significance of a mass effect as a prducer of global Islam, of the struggle for control of public sphere, and of the creation of counter-publics. The analysis deals with the nature of the political activity connected to the crisis. Themes discussed in the article include the politics of recognition, community victimization, the principle of collective responsibility, and processual politics.
Rehabilitated Returners: Why Some Older Women Re-affiliate to the Christian Church
Authors: ECCLES JANET
Published: November 2019

Much has been written about the persistent and rapid decline of churchgoing among all sections of the British population, women as well as men, although women still constitute the majority in most congregations (Brierley 2003; 2006; Brown 2001; 2006; 2010; Bruce 2002; Crockett & Voas 2006; Heelas & Woodhead 2005; McLeod 2007). Rather less attention has been paid in Britain to returning to churchgoing. The article considers the cases of a small group of women, aged 40 and upwards, part of a larger study, most of whom have returned to church after a considerable absence, and the reasons they give for their return. Five newer approaches to the study of religiosity are then briefly introduced, the better to explain and analyse the forms taken by this particular renewed commitment within the Christian church in Britain today.
Ambiguous Legitimation: Grassroots Roman Catholic Communities in Italy and Ecclesiastical Hierarchies
Authors: PALMISANO STEFANIA
Published: November 2019

The article deals with the complex and multifaceted relationships arising between the ecclesiastical hierarchy and grassroots Roman Catholic communities, the so-called New Catholic Communities (NCCs), founded in Italy in the wake of the Second Vatican Council and variously inspired by it. Two issues of particular importance in the sociological literature are addressed. The first concerns the criteria with which to construct a typology which can embrace the extreme variety of NCCs in existence today. Adapting a classic distinction drawn by Weber, the paper introduces and discusses a model which distinguishes among communities according to the twofold criteria of ascetic vs. mystical and this-worldly vs. other-worldly. The second issue concerns the recognition that the NCCs are able to obtain from the Catholic Church. It is argued that the negotiations entailed by such recognition are often rendered lengthy and tortuous, both by the controversial nature of the institutional, organizational and liturgical innovations adopted by the Communities and by the existence within the Church of several sources of legitimating authority. Torn between the duty to disavow excessively radical innovations and the desire to prevent open confl ict, the ecclesiastical bureaucracy often resorts to forms of ambiguous legitimation, where it is not clear whether the Church’s silence amounts to tacit condemnation or tacit approval of the new communities. The paper concludes by exploring the advantages that the NCCs can bring to the Church, and the consequent reasons that induce the relevant authority to abandon its proverbial prudence and grant rapid recognition.
The Death of the Angel: Reflections on the Relationship between Enlightenment and Enchantment in the Twenty-first Century
Authors: BEHAR RUTH
Published: November 2019

Tango artist Astor Piazzolla’s composition, ‘La muerte del ángel’, serves as inspiration for a few reflections on the relationship between enlightenment and enchantment in the 21st century. Piazzolla wrote the fugue as accompaniment to a play, ‘Tango del angel’, about an angel who tries to heal broken human spirits in Buenos Aires and ends up dying in a knife fight. Drawing on tango’s melancholy, longing, and hesitant hoping, I share stories from my travels where I engage with the struggle to sustain an ethnographic art that brings heart to the process of knowing the world.

The Crypt: Probing the Obscure Administration of Cultural Memory
Authors: REDIN JOHAN , JACKSON PETER
Published: November 2019

The prescribed means to engage with the past through a variety ofculturally upheld techniques is receiving wider attention within the humanities today. This is partly due to the growing field of so-called ‘cultural memory studies’. Religion is typically evoked in these circumstances as an exemplary entry into processes of long-term cultural mediation, and the different interests permeating the maintenance and obfuscation of a time-honoured past. The article is devoted to a concept that has attracted comparatively little attention among students of cultural memory: the crypt and its various analogies to the question of remembrance without memory.
'Remembering God' through Religious Habits: The Daily Religious Practices of Evacuee Karelian Orthodox Women
Authors: KUPARI HELENA
Published: November 2019

Habitual religiosity, i.e. the buildup and maintenance of religious habits, hinges on the embodied dimensions of religious memory. The processes involved can be conceptualised using Pierre Bourdieu’s theory on the habitus and Paul Connerton’s outline of the dynamics of habit-memory and habits. With the help of these theoretical tools, I analyse interview material concerning the daily religious practicesof evacuee Karelian Orthodox women, focusing specifically on three basic customs: making the sign of the cross, prayer, and the veneration of icons. These I investigate 1) as practices largely governed by the native layer of the women’s habitus; 2) as habits that continue to structure the habitus; 3) as habits incorporating cultural content; and 4) as customs influenced by the cumulative weight of the women’s habit-memory. The discussion offers a view of evacuee Karelian Orthodox women’s life-long investment in religion, and shows how in the perpetuation of this form of religiosity, small practices can bear great significance.
The Science Canopy: Religion, Legitimacy, and the Charisma of Science
Authors: LEWIS JAMES R.
Published: November 2019

Academics usually think of religion as legitimating other socialinstitutions. However, one often finds apologists appealing to the authority of science as a strategy for supporting the truths of their particular tradition. In a social environment where diverse religious claims compete with each other, it is probably inevitable that different groups seek alternate sources of legitimacy. Science is an attractive legitimator because of its prestige and because of the popular view of science as an objective arbiter of ‘truth’. After examining the notion of ‘legitimation strategies’ derived from Max Weber’s discussion of the legitimation of authority, the article analyzes the specific ways in which religious groups appeal to the authority of science.
The ‘Bear Ceremonial’ and Bear Rituals among the Khanty and the Sami
Authors: RYDVING HÅKAN
Published: November 2019

Researchers from different fields of study agree on the importance of comparison, but debate over how to compare. Rather than comparing globally, on the basis of secondary literature and looking for similari ties alone, the article argues for a limitative approach that restricts itself to just a few cultures, is based on local sources, and takes both resemblances and differences into account. In contrast to the idea of a uniform and transcultural bear ceremonial in North Eurasia, it focuses on plurality and diversity in discussing and comparing the bear rituals found among the southern Khanty (about 1900) and the southern Sami (about 1750).
Māte Mahādēvi: a Progressive Female Mystic in Today’s India
Authors: CHARPENTIER MARIE-THÉRÈSE
Published: November 2019

Among the Indian female gurus active today, Māte Mahādēvi fromthe Liṅgāyat tradition in Karnataka (Southern India) is one of those attracting an increasing number of followers. Liṅgāyatism is a reform movement which according to certain views was founded by Basava in the twelfth century. The movement arose as a protest against the caste system, against a priesthood that was considered corrupt, and against discrimination against women. In the following paper, I provide a portrait of this religious revitalizer and mystic. I describe Māte Mahādēvi’s background in the light of the Liṅgāyat tradition, discussed briefly here. I also provide an account of some of her central contributions to the renewal of Liṅgāyatism, and of the resistance her work has met with. In addition to providing a cogent introduction to a hitherto relatively unknown religious tradition, my purpose, through giving voice to Māte Mahādēvi’s life and activities, is also to add to previous research by drawing attention to one of India’s contemporary female spiritual masters, largely unknown to westerners.
Music and Transcendence: Sufi Popular Performances in East Africa
Authors: KIRKEGAARD ANNEMETTE
Published: November 2019

The article discusses transcendence in music in relation to popular Sufi performances in East Africa, drawing on specific cases from Zanzibar. Based on fieldwork, it examines ways in which music and movement in a structured event or performance can affect the consciousness. This phenomenon is discussed in close connection to its increasing presence in popular music festivals. The article also addresses the latent conflict between the performative Sufi orders of Islamic faith and the more conservative and increasingly silent Muslims.
Religious Popular Music: Between the Instrumental, Transcendent and Transgressive
Authors: KAHN-HARRIS KEITH , MOBERG MARCUS
Published: November 2019

The use of post-rock ‘n’ roll popular music genres by religious groups is accompanied by a notable ambiguity: Is religious popular music designed to be an instrumental tool for outreach/evangelism, or does it have an intrinsic value in summoning and exploring the transcendent? The article focuses on the previously rarely explored idea that the instrumental use of popular music in Christian andJewish settings is often much more important than its transcendent qualities. The importance of the instrumental in Christian and Jewish popular music reveals itself in subtle and not-so-subtle signifiers and practices that point to an anxious desire to discipline music’s possible transgressive force.
Nordic Majority Churches as Agents in the Welfare State: Critical Voices and/or Complementary Providers?
Authors: Pessi Anne Birgitta , Angell Olav Helge , Pettersson Per
Published: November 2019

The article compares the role in welfare provision of the majority churches in Finland, Norway and Sweden. The Nordic welfare state model implies a large public sector and a correspondingly small contribution to welfare provision by the voluntary sector, of which church-based welfare activities, as defined in the article, are part. The data used in the article are derived from a European project, ‘Welfare and religion in a European perspective’, concerning the role of European majority churches as agents of welfare provision. The findings show many similarities between the Nordic cases, but also some differences. In all cases it is clear that both the church and the public authorities take the Nordic welfare state model more or less for granted. The Swedish and Norwegian cases, unlike the Finnish one, show that the public authorities at the municipal level are fairly unfamiliar with local church-based welfare activities. The article raises topical questions as to the role of the Nordic churches in social policy and as moral authorities in contemporary society.Keywords: Welfare, Church, Finland, Norway, Sweden
West Sees East: Cultural Stereotypes in Twentieth-Century Czech Discourse about Indian Religions
Authors: Bubík Tomáš
Published: November 2019

The history of the humanities suggests that no scholarly discipline or theory can function without the models and categories it generates and relies on. Since they are necessarily conditioned by the cultural and ideological context in which they are developed, however, they readily become distorting stereotypes. During its academic history, the academic study of religions has been formed by philosophical perspectives and worldviews drawn from Evolutionism, Positivism, Historicism, Scientific Atheism, Theology, and other schools of thinking. This article explores this use of stereotypes through the example of shifting perceptions of a different culture in the history of Czech understandings of Indian religions during the 20th century, on the basis of a critical analysis of Czech discourse about Indian religions in several academic disciplines: theology, philosophy, history, study of religions, sociology, etc. We see that the religions of India were repeatedly evaluated through stereotypes and a European colonial mindset of cultural values, such as the Western search for doctrinal order in the ‘Oriental chaos’, an emphasis on Western ‘activity’ as opposed to perceived Oriental ‘passivity’, or seeing Catholic hierarchy reflected in the Indian caste system. These stereotypes were also deeply entrenched in Czech popular understandings of Indian culture, despite the low levels of contact between Czech and Indian society. Both in academic and in popularized discourse, we can recognize the uncritical and mechanical adoption of models, categories and values from a Western European cultural framework rather than as a result of scholars’ empirical experience and scholarly evidence. Keywords: Czech Study of Religions, Indian Religions and Culture, Orientalism, Stereotypes

Authors: Zhang Liyuan , Soulakova Julia , St. Pierre Schneider Barbara
Published: November 2019

BACKGROUND: In the last 10 yr, the number of ultra-haul flights—defined as flights greater than 12 h of flying time—has increased. While the medical complications of these flights are well-known, the underlying cellular effects are less clear. The primary objective
of this study was to test the effects of extended mild hypobaric hypoxia on overall well-being and skeletal muscle morphology and macrophage populations.METHODS: A total of 22 male C57BL/6 mice were assigned to a normobaric (NB) or hypobaric (HB) chamber for 14–17 h. Overall
mouse well-being and the general morphology and resident macrophage number in hindlimb muscles were compared between the two pressure conditions.RESULTS: During mild hypobaric hypoxia, the mice behaved normally and no changes were observed in general muscle morphology. Regarding
resident macrophages, the mean antigen area of CD206 in the hindlimb muscles, lateral gastrocnemius (LG, 33.8 ± 2.0 vs. 35.3 ± 1.6), medial gastrocnemius (MG, 32.4 ± 1.6 vs. 32.6 ± 1.5), and quadriceps femoris (QF, 36.3 ± 1.2 vs. 34.3 ± 1.1) were similar
between NB and HB conditions, and the number of CD68-positive cells in the LG and QF were similar between the two conditions. Significantly fewer CD206-positive cells were counted in the LG muscle under the HB condition.CONCLUSION: Our findings indicate that extended exposure to
mild hypobaric hypoxia, similar to that of an ultra-long-haul flight, does not adversely affect healthy skeletal muscle.Zhang L, Soulakova J, St. Pierre Schneider B. Mild hypobaric hypoxia effects on murine skeletal muscle morphology and macrophages and well-being. Aerosp Med

INTRODUCTION: Designed as a more ecological measure of reaction times, the Perception-Action Coupling Task (PACT) has shown good reliability and within-subject stability. However, a lengthy testing period was required. Perceptual-motor judgments are known to be affected by proximity
of the stimulus to the action boundary. The current study sought to determine the effects of action boundary proximity on PACT performance, and whether redundant levels of stimuli, eliciting similar responses, can be eliminated to shorten the PACT.METHODS: There were 9 men and 7
women who completed 4 testing sessions, consisting of 3 familiarization cycles and 6 testing cycles of the PACT. For the PACT, subjects made judgments on whether a series of balls presented on a tablet afford “posting” (can fit) through a series of apertures. There were 8 ratios
of ball to aperture size (B-AR) presented, ranging from 0.2 to 1.8, with each ratio appearing 12 times (12 trials) per cycle. Reaction times and judgment accuracy were calculated, and averaged across all B-ARs. Ratios and individual trials within each B-AR were systematically eliminated. Variables
were re-averaged, and intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC) and coefficients of variation (CVTE) were calculated in an iterative manner.RESULTS: With elimination of the 0.2 and 1.8 B-ARs, the PACT showed good reliability (ICC = 0.81–0.99) and consistent within-subject
stability (CVTE = 2.2–14.7%). Reliability (ICC = 0.81–0.97) and stability (CVTE = 2.6–15.6%) were unaffected with elimination of up to 8 trials from each B-AR.DISCUSSION: The shortened PACT resulted in an almost 50% reduction in total familiarization/testing
time required, significantly increasing usability.Johnson CD, LaGoy AD, Pepping G-J, Eagle SR, Beethe AZ, Bower JL, Alfano CA, Simpson RJ, Connaboy C. Action boundary proximity effects on perceptual-motor judgments. Aerosp Med Hum Perform. 2019; 90(12):1000–1008.

BACKGROUND: Portable noninvasive Heart Rate Complexity (HRC) and Compensatory Reserve Measurement (CRM) monitors have been developed to triage supine combat casualties. Neither monitor has been tested in upright individuals during physical exercise. This study tests the hypothesis
that exercise evokes proportional changes in HRC and CRM.METHODS: Two instruments monitored volunteers (9 civilian and 11 soldiers) from the Army Trauma Training Department (ATTD) before, during, and following physical exercise. One recorded heart rate (HR, bpm), cardiac output
(CO, L · min−1), heart rate variability (HRV, root mean square of successive differences, ms), and HRC (Sample Entropy, unitless). The other recorded HR, pulse oximetry (Spo2, %), and CRM (%).RESULTS: Baseline HR, CO, HRV, HRC, and CRM
averaged 72 ± 1 bpm, 5.6 ± 1.2 L · min−1, 48 ± 24 ms, 1.9 ± 0.5, and 85 ± 10% in seated individuals. Exercise evoked peak HR and CO at > 200% of baseline, while HRC and CRM were simultaneously decreased to minimums that were ≤
50% of baseline (all P < 0.001). HRV changes were variable and unreliable. Spo2 remained consistently above 95%. During a 60 min recovery, HR and CRM returned to baseline on parallel tracks (t1/2=11 ± 8 and 18 ± 14 min), whereas HRC
recovery was slower than either CRM or HR (t1/2=40 ± 18 min, both P < 0.05).DISCUSSION: Exercise evoked qualitatively similar changes in CRM and HRC. CRM recovered incrementally faster than HRC, suggesting that vasodilation, muscle pump, and respiration
compensate faster than cardiac autonomic control in young, healthy volunteers. Both HRC and CRM appear to provide reliable, objective, and noninvasive metrics of human performance in upright exercising individuals.Mulder MB, Eidelson SA, Buzzelli MD, Gross KR, Batchinsky AI, Convertino

Published: November 2019

BACKGROUND: Hemorrhage and traumatic brain injury can be lethal if left unattended. The transportation of severely wounded combat casualties from the battlefield to higher level of care via aeromedical evacuation (AE) may result in unintended complications. This could become
a serious concern at the time of evacuation of mass casualties or for prolonged field care scenarios with limited resources.METHODS: Following instrumentation (t1), anesthetized Sprague-Dawley rats were injured or not [75-kPa blast and 30% estimated blood-volume controlled hemorrhage]
(t2). After 15 min, all rats were resuscitated with saline. During the simulated 3-h evacuation, 8000 ft (2440 m) vs. sea-level heart rate, temperature, and oxygenation (Spo2) were continuously recorded. One group of rats was euthanized immediately after evacuation (t3)
and another after a 72-h recovery period (t4). Hematology and metabolic levels were measured at t1, t2, t3, and t4.RESULTS: Survival was 100% in control-uninjured animals, 83% in injured animals under normobaria, and significantly reduced to 50% under hypobaria. This AE setting
resulted in significantly lower hemodynamics, thermoregulation, and oxygenation parameters in the animals under hypobaria than those under normobaria. The initial lower mean arterial pressure (MAP) with the reduced oxygen level before AE were critical factors for the survival of injured animals.
We observed a general increase of white blood cells and platelet ability to aggregate at t4 in all experimental groups.CONCLUSION: Physiological parameters were affected during aeromedical evacuation in all groups. This was worsened for injured animals with MAP less than 60 mmHg
associated with low Spo2 in a simulated aeromedical evacuation. This represented a high risk of mortality for severely polytraumatized animals.Arnaud F, Pappas G, Maudlin-Jeronimo E, Goforth C. Simulated aeromedical evacuation in a polytrauma rat model.
