The Rhetoric of Self-Adulation in Contemporary Nigerian Popular Music: A Psychological Perspective
Authors: Are Olushola
Published: January 2019

The tendency among many Nigerian popular music artists to engage in self-adulation has been identified in some studies, but has not received enough pointed and focused attention. This article therefore takes a close look at this phenomenon. Twelve songs by eight different artists deemed to be sufficiently representative of contemporary popular music in Nigeria were purposively selected for the study. They were analysed thematically on the basis of some constructs in social psychology. Based on the analyses, this article concludes that self-adulation in contemporary Nigerian popular music serves the artists as a defence mechanism in the face of palpable threats to their self-esteem, which are generated by specific social realities. The attendant lyrics which often involve the flaunting of wealth and women have the capacity to encourage crass materialism and the denigration of women among the young impressionable fans of the musical genre. The article recommends some reorientation that would encourage artists and their producers to take the overall social implications of their lyrics into cognisance and make necessary adjustments to avoid misguiding youth into vain materialism and gender bias.

"Technology has a potentially far greater role in Translation Studies than in the practice of translation. Where it affects the practice of translation, it’s often in areas such as use of online dictionaries or research resources and so on, which can be very useful but don’t radically change the way we translate."

"I suppose nothing more than translation reminds us of the fatal connection between language, thought, and expression. Moving from one language to another is like going back and forth between quite distinct equally powerful enchantments and I suppose it is this savouring of the languages and their differences that has always fascinated me."

Subtitling in the classroom: Il secondo tragico Fantozzi (1976)
Authors: McKenzie Rory
Published: January 2019

Several studies in the recent past have proven that subtitling is undoubtedly beneficial in foreign language acquisition.1 This project aims to prove the same for a New Zealand context, a country where the scope of audio-visual translation is rather limited and among students who have had little to no exposure to subtitling audiovisual material. The current project is based upon two separate studies, one undertaken by Jennifer Lertola and Cristina Mariotti, the other by Jennifer Lertola and Laura Incalcaterra-McGloughlin.2 The project involved 23 second-year students of Italian at Victoria University of Wellington who, as part of their course work during their second semester of study, where tasked with subtitling the Italian comedy classic Il secondo tragico Fantozzi into English.
Identifikasi Daerah Prospek Panas Bumi dengan Menggunakan Teknik Pengindraan Jauh (Studi Kasus: Kecamatan Cisurupan, Kabupaten Garut)
Authors: Nugroho Hary , Fadhilah Mohamad Farhan
Published: January 2019

ABSTRAKPertambahan jumlah penduduk mengakibatkan meningkatnya kebutuhan akan energi. Sumber energi dari fosil semakin hari semakin menipis sehingga perlu ada upaya pencarian energi terbarukan. Salah satu potensi energi terbarukan yang banyak tersebar di Indonesia adalah energi panas bumi. Indonesia memiliki 40% potensi energi panas bumi dunia. Umumnya daerah prospek panas bumi berada pada daerah vulkanik yang dikelilingi oleh vegetasi rapat. Salah satu cara untuk mengetahui lokasinya adalah menggunakan metode pengindraan jauh. Teknologi pengindraan jauh ini dapat digunakan pada tahap awal identifikasi yang selanjutnya dapat didalami menggunakan teknik geofisika dan geokimia. Citra pengindraan jauh yang digunakan dilakukan analisis melalui suhu kecerahan atau brightness temperature untuk selanjutnya diintegrasikan dengan data kelurusan, struktur geologi, dan manifestasi panas bumi. Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa daerah prospek panas bumi terletak di kawasan Gunung Papandayan yang mencakup Desa Sirnajaya, Karamatwangi, Cisurupan, Cisero, Cidatar, Sukatani, Cipaganti, dan Sukawargi. Daerah prospek terletak di dataran tinggi dengan suhu kecerahan yang beragam antara 12,8°C-42,8°C.Kata kunci: panas bumi, pengindraan jauh, suhu kecerahan, manifestasiABSTRACTPopulation growth has resulted in increased energy demand. Energy sources from fossils will soon run out, so we need renewable alternative energy sources. One of the potential renewable energy that is widely spread in Indonesia is geothermal energy. Indonesia has 40% of the world's geothermal energy potential. Generally, geothermal prospect areas are in volcanic areas surrounded by dense vegetation. How to find out the location, one of which is the application of remote sensing methods. This remote sensing technology can be used at the initial stage of identification which can then be explored using geophysical and geochemical techniques. The image was processed and analyzed to obtain brightness temperature. These results were then integrated with geological structure, and geothermal manifestations. The prospect area obtained is located in the area of Mount Papandayan which includes the villages of Sirnajaya, Karamatwangi, Cisurupan, Cisero, Cidatar, Sukatani, Cipaganti, and Sukawargi. This region is located in the highlands with brightness temperature varying between 12.8°C-42.8°C.Keywords: geothermal, remote sensing, brightness temperature, manifestation

Published: January 2019

Following the rapid increase of infections due to carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (CPE) in Italy, the national surveillance of bloodstream infections (BSI) due to CPE (Klebsiella pneumoniae and Escherichia coli) was instituted in 2013. All CPE-BSI cases reported to the surveillance in the years 2014–17 were analysed in order to investigate incidence rate (IR), trend, main individual characteristics and enzymes involved in CPE resistance. Throughout this period, 7,632 CPE-BSI cases (IR: 3.14/100,000 inhabitants) were reported from all 21 regions and autonomous provinces in Italy, with an increasing number of reported cases (2014: 1,403; 2015: 1,838; 2016: 2,183; 2017: 2,208). CPE-BSI cases mainly occurred in subjects aged over 60 years (70.9%) and more frequently in males (62.7%) than in females. Most of the cases originated in hospitals (87.2%), mainly in intensive care units (38.0%), and were associated with central or peripheral venous catheter use (23.9%) or with urinary tract infections (21.1%). Almost all CPE-BSI (98.1%) were due to K. pneumoniae carrying the K. pneumoniae carbapenemase (KPC) enzyme (95.2%). These data show that carbapenemase-producing K. pneumoniae are endemic in our country, causing a high number of BSI and representing a threat to patient safety.

Socio-Technological Enrollment as a Driver of Successful Doctoral Education
Authors: Djohy Georges
Published: January 2019

Aim/Purpose: This article uses the enrollment approach contained in the Actor-Network Theory (ANT) to challenge the deterministic perspectives of doctoral socialization and offers a new perspective based on co-construction between social and technological entities mobilized during the doctoral education as a driver of success.

Background: Most studies have used deterministic approaches to show that the success of doctoral education is the outcome of socialization as shaped by the individual/personal, racial/ethnical, national/cultural, organizational/institutional and disciplinary contexts in which supervisors and supervisees cooperate. In doing so, they overlook the complexity of student-supervisor relationships and the gradual power-based processes of negotiation and persuasion that make the doctoral education successful. Analyzing the author’s own doctoral journey, the article highlights that the doctoral success is rather the result of a socio-technological enrollment as reflected in power-based supervisory politics.

Methodology: The methodological approach consisted in an autoethnography that self-reflected on all stages of the doctoral processes and the author’s collaboration with his thesis supervisor from March 2012 until October 2016.

Contribution: This paper reveals that the use of an approach of co-construction between technology and society also makes it possible to better understand the relationships between students and supervisors and the implications for socialization in a doctoral setting.

Findings: The success of doctoral socialization is not necessarily a matter of individuals, disciplines, or contexts, but rather it depends on the level of articulation and implementation of the supervisory politics inspired by the imbalanced power relations among those involved. The deconstruction of the doctoral supervisory politics reveals that enrollment is an important component that mobilizes human and non-human resources from various scales. Enrollment strategies play a key role in how doctoral students start, progress and complete their doctorate.

Recommendations for Practitioners: The results and analysis on socio-technological enrollment-based doctoral education can be useful in the context of support policies towards improving student supervision and facilitating doctoral studies in higher education.

Recommendation for Researchers: The paper invites researchers in sociology, anthropology, psychology, education sciences, and other scientific disciplines to a theoretical reconsideration of student-supervisor relationships in the context of research and support to higher education.

Impact on Society: The content of this article will help improve collaboration among supervisors and supervisees in higher education and could, thus, contribute to reducing attrition and doctoral dropout.
The Issue of the Commercial Court Limited Competency in Settling the Commercial Disputes
Authors: Sobandi Sobandi
Published: January 2019

The people’s need for justice through a special court is perceived urgent from time to time. The Commercial Court is an ad-hoc court but its competency has affected the competency of other permanent courts that are already established. The problems need to be answered in this writing regarding the multifunction of Commercial Court. The objectives of the writing, inter alia, to examine the possibility of the Commercial Court has specific rules to restrain its competency. Consequently, there is a need to have a law that specifically limits the competence and the procedural law of the ad-hoc court. The Commercial Court often resolves bankruptcy disputes. It is also used as a solution for the Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) disputes which should be able to enter the criminal domain. It can also be used to solve the Islamic financing issues and other business issues that should be the realm of a permanent judicial institution. The existence of such a rule that limits the competency of the Commercial Court can be a way out of fulfilment of needs of the judiciary to reduce the overlap of court competency among the Indonesian judicial institutions
Infill Architecture as a Solution for Livability and Historical Texture Quality Promotion
Authors: Nasrollah Beiglu Fatemeh Bayandur , Husseini Ghafari Seyyed Mohammad , Taheri Aazam
Published: January 2019

A brief glance at the city view of Iranian historical cities shows valuable ancient textures, all of which were enjoying appropriate liveliness, mobility and hilarity no longer ago. Today, our urban worn out textures are abandoned due to different reasons. This is while, if the textures enjoy safe, appropriate and lively spaces, organized joy and healthy recreations compatible with the society’s values will take place in them. Organizing cities and historical textures is of great importance for two reasons: one is respecting the elders’ heritages and the other one is obviating limits caused by urban texture decay. Inattention to organizing and restoring worn out historical textures plans during several years have caused them to lose their liveliness, efficiency and former activity. Livability is one of the greatest urban planning ideas in the contemporary period. Livability creation among cities of developing countries is a concerning issue and paying less attention to the issue causes liveliness and livability cadence and texture decay, consequently. Hence, paying attention to life quality, conditions, equipment and the urban residents’ needs are vital issues.  Finally, infill solution is presented in the framework of renovation and improvement   for promotion of quality and empowerment of historical and worn out urban textures along with influential factors of developing such textures.
Towards a Meta-Model for Requirements-Driven Information for Internal Stakeholders
Authors: Noorwali Ibtehal , Madhavji Nazim , Arruda Darlan , Ferrari Remo
Published: January 2019

Abstract. [Context & Motivation] Providing requirements-driven information (e.g., requirements volatility measures, requirements-design coverage information, requirements growth rates, etc.) falls within the realm of the requirements management process. The requirements engineer must derive and present the appropriate requirements information to the right internal stakeholders (IS) in the project. [Question / Problem] This process is made complex due to project-related factors such as numerous types of ISs, varying stakeholder concerns with regard to requirements, project sizes, a plethora of software artifacts, and many affected processes. However, there is little guidance in practice as to how these factors come into play together in providing the described information to the ISs. [Principle ideas/results] Based on analyzed data from an action research (AR) study we conducted in a large systems project in the rail-automation domain, we propose a meta-model that consists of the main entities and relationships involved in providing requirements-driven information to internal stakeholders within the context of a large systems project. The meta-model consists of five main entities and nine relationships that are further decomposed into three abstraction levels. We validated the meta-model in three phases by researchers and practitioners.  [Benefits/Contribution] The meta-model is anticipated to facilitate: (i) control and management of process and resources for providing requirement-driven information to stakeholders and (ii) communication among internal stakeholders.
Other Kinds of Soft Î² maps via Soft Topological Ordered Spaces
Authors: AL-shami Tareq , El-Shafei Mohammed , Asaad Baravan
Published: January 2019

The authors of [13] formulated a soft topological ordered spaces concept and then they established and studied some ordered mappings [14]. In the present work, we define new ordered mappings via soft topological ordered spaces based on soft Î²-open sets, namely soft xÎ²-continuous, soft xÎ²-open, soft xÎ²-closed and soft xÎ²-homeomorphism mappings, for x âˆˆ {I, D, B}. We give various characterizations of each one of the introduced soft mappings. One of the most important obtained results is that an extended soft topologies notion guarantees the equivalentÂ  between the soft mappings initiated herein and their counterparts of mappings on topological ordered spaces. We provide several interesting examples to examine the relationships among these soft mappings.

Authors: Messina Allison , Schroeder Diana , Barto Shiryl , Joyce-Good Karla
Published: January 2019

Background Bullying is a serious problem that can lead to short and long-term physical and mental health problems. Many healthcare providers are reluctant to screen patients for bullying involvement because they lack education and training on bullying prevention. The objective of this study was to determine if pediatric healthcare professionals would find a bullying screening process useful. Methods A training was developed by certified bullying prevention specialists to teach healthcare providers about bullying prevention, associated health effects, and how to utilize a validated screening tool in their practices to determine adolescents’ involvement in bullying and possible related health events. Eleven pediatric practices participated. Results At project end, providers and staff completed a survey (n=66) and participated in focus group to document their experience with the project. Results demonstrated that: 1) the bullying prevention training, survey process, survey tool, and related educational materials were beneficial; 2) a need and desire exists to incorporate the tool into future pediatric visits; 3) healthcare professionals believe they have a responsibility to help patients who have been bullied. Conclusion The survey tool and process show promise for increasing healthcare providers’ knowledge about bullying prevention and likelihood of screening their adolescent patients’ for bullying involvement. The project showed the screening tool was a beneficial way for providers to engage their adolescent patients and families in conversations about bullying.

Retrato y estatus. Una aproximación a la imagen de autor
Authors: Cárdenas Luna Rocío
Published: January 2019

El aumento y desarrollo del uso de la imprenta genera relaciones muy fructíferas creando importantes redes de sociabilidad en el camino hacia la salida del manuscrito a la luz. La producción en masa confluye con la nueva concepción del término de autor al asentarse las bases de la escritura en entorno a una legislación autorial recién implantada, en la que el creador se encuentra en plena búsqueda de reconocimiento ante el público. Los autores se desvincularon de las antiguas agrupaciones gremiales y comenzaron a relacionarse con otros sectores, con intención de impulsarse en su empeño por ganar relevancia y reconocimiento. Lope de Vega es el propulsor más destacado de esta propuesta relacional entre poesía y mercado, centrada en la profesionalización del autor. En su cometido, plantea un acercamiento a las artes plásticas, concretamente al género del retrato, y se vale de un imaginario como vía de autoafirmación. La utilización del retrato se consolida reescribiéndose prácticamente su significado y actuando incluso como prueba fehaciente de originalidad del ejemplar. Numerosos escritores se valen de él, ya sea por búsqueda de notoriedad a nivel profesional o de posicionamiento social, como ocurre con Rebolledo. La preocupación por la imposibilidad de dejar constancia de su efigie lleva a Cervantes a plantear el primer autorretrato literario, dejando constancia no solo una descripción de su rostro, sino vinculándolo además a un retrato psicológico de la profundidad del acto creativo. Distintos autores han mantenido esta preocupación por la representación de la psicología del creador, tanto plásticos como literarios. Un breve acercamiento a estos creadores da constancia de este hecho.
"Los muros de la patria mía" y la autorreflexión como cualidad discursiva en el "Salmo XVII" de Quevedo
Authors: Carrillo Morell Dayron
Published: January 2019

Este trabajo examina la autorreflexión como una clave discursiva implícita en el «Salmo XVII»de Francisco de Quevedo, donde nuestro poeta se sirve de la polisemia y la dispositioargumentativa para conferir una plurisignificación al contenido textual y crear embragues textuales que hacen coincidir el nivel del enunciado y el de la enunciación poética. A partir de estos recursos retóricos, Quevedo establece paralelismos discursivos entre la vida humana y el soneto, que imprimen al poema un ulterior sentido metaliterario.
The Female Body of Sor Juana's Subject and the Language of Gongorism in "Epinicio al Virrey Conde de Galve" (1691)
Authors: Valencia Felipe
Published: January 2019

In the Epinicio al virrey conde de Galve (1691), sor Juana Inés de la Cruz presents an overtly female speaker. Most of the composition, in a departure from the norms of the epinikion, builds the myth of this female speaker instead of praising the hero to whom the poem is dedicated. The Epinicio sings on the effects of masculine colonial power, of which the Viceroy is a synecdoche, on the female poetic persona through three figures of comparison: Semele, a raincloud, and the Sibyl. All three female figures are subjected by masculine power, and their bodies are destroyed by bearing that power’s offspring. Through an analysis of the Epinicio, this essay explores sor Juana’s understanding of the subjection of her female poetic persona in the context of epideictic poetry, and what the Epinicio has to say about Gongorism as a language for the poetic subject.
Des vies infâmes aux vies minuscules : l’écriture des vies ordinaires ou une généalogie de la littérature
Authors: Le Blanc Guillaume
Published: January 2019

L’apparition du roman au 18ème siècle marque un régime nouveau de littérature. L’écriture n’est plus cette extériorité radicale que la littérature expérimente comme pouvoir d’écriture, elle devient, par une sorte de renversement, écriture du pouvoir, écriture pour le pouvoir. Dans « La vie des hommes infâmes » (1977), Michel Foucault propose une archéologie de la littérature moderne inscrite dans une histoire des rapports de pouvoir. Dans ce court texte, Foucault propose de ramener le pouvoir de l’écriture à l’écriture du pouvoir en passant d’une première position sur l’effet littérature à une seconde position sur l’effet fiction à l’intérieur de laquelle la littérature est amenée à jouer un certain rôle. L’écriture y est envisagée comme tactique interne au pouvoir où les relations de pouvoir ne peuvent se développer que par une mise en écriture des vies ordinaires.

Published: January 2019

Macaranga beccariana Merr. is an endemic plant of Kalimantan which is no report yet about its biological activity and isolated compounds. Therefore, in order to know the potency of M. beccariana, determination of antioxidant and antimalarial activities along with isolation of bioactive compounds from this plant must be carried out. In this research, the leaves of M. beccariana was extracted using methanol to obtain methanol extract. Furthermore, the extract was separated and purified to obtain compound 1 and compound 2. Based on structure elucidation using spectrometer analysis including UV, 1H and 13C NMR, compounds 1 and 2 which belong to phenolics were identified as 4-hidroxybenzoic acid and 3,4-dihidroxybenzoic acid, respectively. Moreover, antioxidant activity using DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) and antimalarial activity towards Plasmodium falciparum strain 3D7 using Giemsa staining were performed. Rutine and chloroquine difosfat were used as positive controls for antioxidant and antimalarial, respectively. The results showed that the methanol extract of M. beccariana and its isolated compounds (1 and 2) are active for those activities. It can be concluded that the leaves of M. beccariana has good potency as antioxidant and antimalarial agents.

The aim — to evaluate the possibility of clinical application of the major duodenal papilla resection by endoscopic techniques for various diseases.Materials and methods. 32 patients with benign stenosis and benign tumours of major duodenal papilla were treated in 2014 — 2017. Of these, 10 (31.25 %) women and 22 (68.75 %) men were between the ages of 36 and 64, the average age were 52 years. Depending on the nature of major duodenal papilla (MDP) lesions and their endoscopic treatment types, patients with MDP disease were divided into two groups: first group — 21 patients (65.6 %) with benign stenosis of the MDP and the second group with 11 patients (34.3 %) with benign tumours of MDP. Loop electro excision was performed in 9 patients, a combination of loop electroexcitation with sphincterotomy (EST) was performed in 13 patients, a combination of endoscopic papillectomy (EP) with argon‑plasma destruction in 6 patients, a combination of EP and electrical destruction in 5 patients. Endoprosthesis of the common bile duct was performed in 9 patients, 4 patients underwent endoprosthetics of the pancreatic duct, and endoprosthetics of both ducts were performed in 19 patients.Results and discussion. Complications were noted in 9 (28.1 %) patients. In the long‑term period, all patients are alive, functional disorders of the organs were not revealed.Conclusions. Endoscopic examination allows to determine the visual signs of MDP lesions (the papilla tissue changes). The diagnostic efficiency of ERCPG was 81.5 %. Clinical experience has shown that EPST can significantly reduce the number of repeated surgical operations on the biliary tract and significantly reduce the incidence of postoperative complications and mortality rate in patients with hepatopancreatoduodenal area pathology.

The aim — to analyse of the first experience with the use of fluorescence laparoscopy (FL) in technically difficult cholecystectomies, revision of the choledochus, lymphodection, colon resection and to assess the blood supply of the anastomosis sites.Materials and methods. Fluorescence laparoscopy was applied in 7 cholecystectomies for acute calculous cholecystitis, 6 common bile duct laparoscopic revisions to estimate the patency (first‑time used technique), laparoscopic right‑side hemicolectomy for estimation the blood supply of anastomosing intestinal areas and open resection of the transverse colon during limfodissections.Results and discussion. In cholecystectomies (fluorescence cholangiography), the duration of the operation and the average time to achieve a «critical type of safety» were reduced to 30 minutes compared with the comparison group (45 minutes). During the intraoperative revision of the choledochus in 1 case of fluorescence in the duodenum was not detected, which showed its obstruction (calculus inclusions). In other cases, the choledochal patency was preserved, which was associated with transient choledocholithiasis. With right‑sided hemicolectomy by fluorescent angiography, adequate blood supply to the colon stump has been proven. With open resection of the transverse colon, fluorescence lymphography was successfully used to visualize the apical lymph nodes at the mouth of the middle colon artery.Conclusions. The first experience showed that fluorescence laparoscopy allows to facilitate and accelerate dissection in case of technically difficult cholecystectomies, to assess the passage of the common bile duct in distinct cases (for example, transient choledocholithiasis), to evaluate the blood supply of the anastomotic sites in colon resections, and to monitor the adequacy of lymph node dissection.

The aim — to define mechanisms of formation of secondary relative volumetric breast asymmetry after reductional mammoplasty and to develop a method of its prevention.Materials and methods. In a prospective study, 118 women aged 24 years to 57 years (on average 37.5 ± 0.7 years) were treated by WISE method in the period from 2012 to 2017 in LLC Clinic of Plastic Cosmetic Surgery in Poltava. The comparison group (group C) consisted of the patient, who performed reductional mastopexy (RMP) with the same volume of tissue reduction in both breasts; the main group (group M) — with different volume of tissue reduction in both breasts, which was calculated depending on the base‑line absolute volumetric breast asymmetry (AVBA). The volume of breast in pre‑and postoperative periods was determined by the author’s method. AOAMZ and VOAMZ were evaluated. The analysis of the data obtained was performed using discrete statistics, the comparison of mean values of variables using the Man‑Whitney U‑criterion and the comparison of the particle variables using the Pearson Hi‑squared. The calculations were made using the IBM SPSS Statistics 22 software.Results and discussion. In the patients of group P after RMP, the average value of AVBA remained stable, while an increasement in the value of relative volumetric breast asymmetry (RVBA) was noted in average values from 14.9 ± 0.8 % to 17.5 ± 1.1 %, and in the group of patients with RVBA indicators, which exceed the norm: 21.8 % vs. 5.5 %, p = 0.012. The increasement in the value of RVBA was associated with a decreasement in the volume of breast. Removal of bigger portion of larger breast in comparison with smaller breast, based on preoperative AVBA in patients in group M allowed to reduce the RVBA index from 13.6 ± 0.7 % to 2.9 ± 0.3 % (from 0 % to 8, 3 %).Conclusions. After RMP with the removal of equal volumes of tissue in both breasts, the AVBA remains constant, and RVBA increases and in 21.8 % of patients exceeds the population norm. Removal of larger portion of breast in comparison with smaller breast, based on preoperative RVBA, allows to reduce the pre‑surgery RVBA and to avoid its values higher than the popular norm.

Meckel’s diverticulum is a congenital anomaly of the gastrointestinal tract, which occurs in 2 to 4 % of the individuals in the general population. There is no gender difference in the frequency of detection, although the incidence of complications among males is 3 to 4 times higher. Of the complications, the most common are bleeding, invagination, intestinal obstruction, perforation, very rarely — bladder — diverticular fistulas and tumors. The clinical case of Meckel’s diverticulum perforation by a wooden chip imitating the acute appendicitis clinic is presented.

The aim — to improve the treatment results of patients with a bdominal aorta aneurysm (AAA) by reducing their neurological complications risk.Materials and methods. During 2001 — 2018 an ultrasound duplex scan of carotid arteries was performed for 847 patients with AAA. In 84 (9.9 %) patients, concomitant stenosis of the internal carotid artery > 75 % was found. The average age of the patients was 61.3 ± 2.7 years. Men prevailed among the patients (78 (92.9 %)). All patients underwent a comprehensive examination. One‑stage carotid endarterectomy and open resection of AAA were performed in 25 (29.8 %) patients, staged carotid endarterectomy with the second stage of AAA repair — in 24 (28.6 %), staged AAA resection with the second stage of carotid arteries revascularization — in 16 (19.1 %) patients. Two‑stages intervention was performed in 7 (8.3 %) patients with a combination of an internal carotid artery stenosis, AAA and peripheral artery disease , the first stage was intervention on the carotid arteries, on the second stage (from 3 to 7 days) the reconstruction of the abdominal aorta and arteries of the lower extremities were done. In 7 (8.3 %) patients with concomitant coronary artery disease the two‑stages intervention was performed, with the primary one‑stage revascularization of the carotid and coronary arteries, and in 5 (6.0 %) — three‑staged reconstruction in the following sequence: carotid endarterectomy, coronary artery bypass grafting, reconstruction of the abdominal aorta.Results and discussion. No case of cerebrovascular accident in patients undergoing primary revascularization of the carotid arteries, either simultaneous, or staged was noted. In a group of patients who underwent an intervention on the abdominal aorta without carotid and coronary pathology correction, 1 patient developed ischemic stroke with a fatal outcome. Another 1 patient had myocardial infarction in the first postoperative day. The overall level of neurological complications was 1.2 %. The duration of hospitalization was 11.7 ± 0.7 days for patients with simultaneous interventions and 19.5 ± 0.6 days for staged treatment, stay duration in the intensive care unit were 2.1 ± 0.3 and 4.3 ± 0.5 days respectively.Conclusions. During planning of interventions on AAA the screening test of even clinically non‑manifested arterial segments (carotid and coronary arteries, arteries of the lower extremities) is necessary according to multi‑vascular nature of atherosclerotic lesions. The primary revascularization of the carotid arteries (symptomatic stenoses over 75 %, asymptomatic stenoses with high embolic risk) has to be done prior to the reconstruction of the AAA. The method of one‑stage operation on carotid arteries and abdominal aorta with a weighted risk assessment and plan of aortic intervention is more appropriate.
