The Life and Death of a Futurist Poet: Speculations on The Hairy Ape
Authors: Bleifuss Gerhard
Published: August 2022

What might O’Neill have made of futurism, the Italian movement that had been creating a sensation in the artistic world since 1909? The Hairy Ape perhaps provides the answer. In that play O’Neill arguably transformed Marinetti’s prose “Manifesto of Futurism” into a dramatic text that presented futurism as destructive, misogynist, and inherently bound to fail. An intertextual examination suggests that one might profitably read The Hairy Ape as O’Neill’s negative answer to Marinetti’s ideas about poetry and art. If the futurists had a free rein, O’Neill seems to imply, they would reduce cultural life to a new level of primitiveness. This, in turn, suggests a critique of the futurists’ affinity with fascism.

Published: August 2022

The final disposal of sludge is one of the major drawbacks in the management of sewage treatment because of its production and accumulation, demanding systematic discharge. Landfilling, sludge-toenergy recovery methods and agricultural use are some alternatives of final destinations. For agricultural purposes, the sludge should undergo an sanitization. Composting can be used for sanitization and the resulting compost contains stabilized organic matter and nutrients that are useful for plants and soil conditioning. This Technical Note (TN) was prepared by consolidating knowledge of researchers and practical specialists, as well as information from specialized literature. Basic concepts, design criteria and operational techniques were sought with the aim of enabling sewage sludge transformation via composting, not only to produce a quality product, such as fertilizer, but also to benefit the environment.

Published: August 2022

Thermal drying of the sludge produced in sewage treatment plants (STPs) is a physical process that allows for a significant reduction of the moisture intrinsic to the material, reducing its mass and volume for handling and final disposal. The process also allows for thermal sanitization of the sludge, dispensing the use of chemical products for that purpose. A fundamental requirement for the operationalization of the process is the availability of heat, which can be obtained, for example, through the energy recovery of biogas and the dry sludge found in STPs, corroborating with the concepts of sustainability, renewable energy and circular economy. Although thermal sludge drying is already consolidated in several countries, it is still not a common practice in Brazil. Therefore, this technical note presents the main topics of interest associated with drying and thermal sanitation of sludge for STPs of different sizes, as well as a review of the fundamentals inherent to the process and the methods for selection of dryers. This document also reports examples of thermal sludge drying and sanitization systems, in addition to important aspects to be considered when implementing the process in STPs.

Organic matter (OM) is fundamental in the rrecovery of degraded areas (RDA), particularly when concerning the soils’ chemical and physical properties. The biosolid obtained from sewage sludge is an important source of OM and nutrients. This technical note discusses the influence of both on RDA, as well as the potential for using biosolids for that purpose. OM acts as a reservoir of nutrients, which are gradually released; it improves the cation exchange capacity of the soil; and it can complex or chelate metals potentially toxic to plants. It is also highlighted its influence on the reduction of the specific mass of the soil, the formation of micro and macro aggregates, the improvement of soil stability, and the increase of soil specific surface. The practical aspects of biosolids use in RDA are discussed in the light of CONAMA Resolution 498/2020, mainly about the criteria for calculating the application doses. Two case studies are also presented.

Authors: Baharudin Baharudin
Published: August 2022

Penulisan ini menguraikan tentang konflik sosial yang ada di Bima Nusa Tenggara Barat yang terjadi beberapa tahun terakhir ini. Konflik ini dikarenakan kurangnya kepercayaan masyarakat kepada penegak hukum yang sangat lamban menangani tindak pidana yang memicu terjadinya konflik. Konflik ini juga terjadi dikarenakan kurangnya kesadaran masyarakat terhadap kehidupan sosial. Masyarakat selalu menyelsaikan masalah dengan cara main hakim sendiri. Konflik timbul akibat permasalahan antar individu dengan individu, individu dengan kelompok dan kelompok dengan kelompok. Kurangnya kesadaran dalam bertoleransi tersebut membuat permusuhan akan menjalar kepada masyarakat luas dan akhirnya akan menimbulkan konflik sosial. Dalam penulisan ini juga, unsur-unsur konflik yang mengadung dampak hukum pidana sebab konflik yang terjadi di Bima Nusa Tenggara Barat karena alat yang dipakai dalam konflik bukan saja parang, tombak atau panah akan tetapi masyarakat banyak memakai senjatan api rakitan bahkan senjata api organik. Dari pemakain senajata api tersebut kepolisian harus bertindak tegas dalam menyita dan menangkap para pemilik senjata api. Serta menerapkan aturan tegas sesuai dengan KUHP dan Undang-Undang darurat Nomor 12 Tahun 1951. Dalam penyelesaian konflik perlu dilakukan pendekatan, penyuluhan hukum serta mendamaikan para pihak yang berkonflik sehingga terciptanya rasa aman, harmonis.

PURPOSE. To quantify the content of connective tissue metabolites reflecting the exchange of its main components in biological fluids in low tension glaucoma (LTG) and primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG), and to conduct a comparative analysis of the obtained data.   METHODS. The studies were conducted in 33 patients with low tension glaucoma aged 51 to 80 years old (mean age 69 ± 10.4 years), 20 patients with POAG aged 53 to 80 years old (mean age 67 ± 10.1 years) and 15 clinically healthy volunteers aged 52 to 78 years old (mean age 68 ± 9.2 years). The protein components of the fibrous part of the connective tissue were analyzed for daily excretion of oxyproline in urine by the method involving para-Dimethylamin-obenzaldehyde modified by P.N. Sharaev. Serum glycosaminoglycans (GAG) were studied by analyzing carbohydrate components of connective tissue. The concentration of GAG in the blood serum was determined by the colorimetric method, using Dische's carbazole reaction.   RESULTS. The amount of GAG in the blood serum of LTG patients was 3.26 ± 1.57 mmol/L, while in the control group consisting of clinically healthy volunteers — 2.92 ± 1.25 mmol/L. The differences were not statistically significant (p > 0.1). The amount of daily excretion of oxyproline in the urine of LTG patients was 17.17 ± 8.64 mmol/day, and in the group of clinically healthy individuals — 13.96 ± 5.61 mmol/day. The differences were statistically significant (p < 0.05). The amount of GAG in the blood serum of POAG patients was 3.97 ± 1.17 mmol/L. The differences in relation to LTG were statistically significant (p < 0.05). The amount of daily excretion of oxyproline in the urine of POAG patients was 32.71 ± 19.79 mmol/day. The differences were statistically significant in relation to LTG (p < 0.05). The amount of GAG and oxyproline in biological fluids tends to increase with the advancement of LTG and POAG.   CONCLUSION. Destruction processes in the connective tissue do occur in LTG, but are less pronounced in comparison to POAG and more pronounced in comparison to healthy individuals. The indicator that most clearly reflects the activity of destructive processes in the connective tissue is the daily excretion of oxyproline in urine.

Published: August 2022

PURPOSE. To quantify the outflow of intraocular fluid along various pathways depending on the stage of the disease in typical primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) and low-tension glaucoma (LTG) cases, and compare the obtained results.   METHODS.  This study involved 30 patients (57 eyes) with POAG at various stages, aged 58 to 80 years old (mean age 67 ± 8.0 years). The comparison group included 33 patients (62 eyes) with LTG at various stages aged 51 to 80 years old (mean age 69 ± 10.4 years). All subjects had no history of previous laser or surgical interventions on the studied eye. The controls were 15 clinically healthy individuals (30 eyes) of the same age group. On the first day, electronic tonography was performed using tonograph TNC- 100-S with a 4-minute recording of the curve. On the next day, tonography was per-formed with simultaneous blockade of the  drainage outflow pathway using a perilimbal vacuum — compression ring according to the method by Prof. N.V. Kosykh.   RESULTS. The overall ease of outflow coefficient (EOC) in POAG has a pronounced tendency to decrease with stage advancement. Its decrease in the II and III stages of the disease is 35 % and 30 %, respectively. The EOC for the uveoscleral pathway with POAG decreases in the II and III stages of the disease and amounts to 33.3 % and 25 %, respectively. The ratio of uveoscleral outflow in POAG increases by 3.3 % and 6.5 % in the II and III stages, respectively. With stage I and II LTG, this indicator is stable and remains at a fairly high level, and in the III stage it decreases by 33.3 % compared to stage II. The ratio of uveoscleral out-flow in LTG increases by 21 % in the II stage and by 11 % in the III stage of the disease.   CONCLUSION. The rate of fluid outflow along the uveoscleral pathway is higher in LTG than in POAG. The ratio of uveoscleral outflow to overall outflow is greater in LTG in comparison with POAG. In this respect, it can be concluded that preservation of IOP within the limits of the average norm in LTG may be associated with a more pronounced function of the uveoscleral outflow pathway.

PURPOSE. To compare hypotensive efficiency and safety of generic latanoprost 0.005 % (Glaumax, “KEVELT AS”, Estonia) and original latanoprost 0.005 % (Xalatan, “Pfizer Inc”, USA) in glaucoma patients.   METHODS.  The study included patients with newly diagnosed primary open-angle glaucoma or patients with primary open-angle glaucoma on carbonic anhydrase inhibitor monotherapy 4 days after cease of treatment (the “wash-out” period). Study patients were divided into 2 groups. Group 1 consisted of 25 patients (30 eyes) with initial and advanced stages of newly diagnosed POAG and initial corneal-compensated IOP (IOPcc) of 25.15 ± 1.48 mm Hg. This group of patients was prescribed instillations of 0.005 % Glaumax eye drops 1 time per day. Group 2 also included 25 patients (30 eyes) with initial stage of newly diagnosed POAG and initial corneal-compensated IOP (IOPcc) of 25.08 ± 1.42 mm Hg. Group 2 patients were prescribed instillations of 0.005 % Xalatan eye drops 1 time per day. IOPcc was measured initially after the washout period, then  1 and 2 months after the start of the new therapy. Additionally,  all patients were assessed for tear film break up time (Norn’s test) at each follow-up point.   RESULTS.  After 1 month, IOPcc in groups 1 and 2 was 17.36 ± 1.39 and 18.09 ± 1.45 mm Hg, respectively; after 2 month, 17.87 ± 1.30 and 18.54 mm Hg, respectively. The Norn’s test results in groups 1 and 2 after 1 month were 8 (7; 9.75) and 8 (6; 9.75) seconds, after 2 months it was 8.5 (8; 9) and 8 (7; 10) seconds, respectively, which corresponded to the initial stage of the "dry eye" syndrome. No statistically significant intergroup differences were found in any of the cases.   CONCLUSION. Xalatan 0.005 and Glaumax 0.005 have comparable efficacy and tolerability, and both help achieve persistent stabilization of IOP. The option for a single-instillation regimen is convenient for the patients.
The profile of patients with secondary glaucoma
Authors: Isakov I. N. , Kuroyedov A. V.
Published: August 2022

To date, there have been no studies in the Russian Federation analyzing the territorial prevalence of secondary glaucoma (SG). The reasons for this lie in the specifics of providing epidemiological reports on the incidence of this pathology, staff shortage in the budgetary health care system, lack of clinical interest of researchers in thisт form of the disease, for example due to the severity of its course, etc. At the same time, secondary glaucoma is one of the most severe glaucoma forms, which tends to progress and is difficult to treat with drugs or surgery. The high occurrence of SG (6–22%) worldwide and the risk of losing visual function make it important to continue studying this pathology. The varying occurrence of SG is determined by numerous factors, such as etiology of the disease, demographic and territorial features of the region, educational level, cultural and economic characteristics, patients' awareness and competence. The level of ophthalmologic services, such as qualification of the attending physicians, and the types of glaucoma surgeries that can be performed in the region also play an important role. Considering the relevance of this problem, the aim of this literature review is to determine the epidemiological characteristics of the disease in patients with secondary glaucoma.
