OBJECTIVE

To evaluate the concordance between the 2019 ESC Guidelines on diabetes, pre-diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases developed in collaboration with the EASD (ESC/EASD-2019) and the Steno T1 Risk Engine (Steno-Risk) cardiovascular risk scales for individuals with type 1 diabetes (T1D) without cardiovascular disease (CVD) and to analyze the relationships of their use with identification of preclinical atherosclerosis.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

We consecutively selected patients with T1D, without CVD, age ≥40 years, with nephropathy, and/or with ≥10 years of T1D evolution with another risk factor. The presence of plaque at different carotid segments was determined by ultrasonography. Cardiovascular risk was estimated in accord with ESC/EASD-2019 risk groups (moderate/high/very high) and the Steno-Risk (<10%, low; 10–20%, moderate; ≥20%, high), as T1D-specific scores. In an exploratory analysis, we also evaluated the non-T1D-specific 2013 ACC/AHA Guideline on the Assessment of Cardiovascular Risk (ACC/AHA-2013) pooled cohort equation for individuals between 40 and 79 years of age.

RESULTS

We included 501 patients (53% men, mean age 48.8 years, median T1D duration 26.5 years, 41.3% harboring plaques). Concordance between T1D-specific scales was poor (κ = 0.19). A stepped increase in the presence of plaques according to Steno-Risk category was seen (18.4%, 38.2%, and 64.1%, for low, moderate, and high risk, respectively; P for trend <0.001), with no differences according to ESC/EASD-2019 (P = 0.130). Steno-Risk identified individuals with plaques, unlike ESC/EASD-2019 (area under the curve [AUC] 0.691, P < 0.001, vs. AUC 0.538, P = 0.149). Finally, in polynomial regression models (with adjustment for lipid parameters and cardioprotective treatment), irrespective of the ESC/EASD-2019 category, high risk by Steno-Risk was directly associated with atherosclerosis (in moderate/high-risk by ESC/EASD-2019 odds ratio 2.91 [95% CI 1.27–6.72] and 4.94 [2.35–10.40] for the presence of plaque and two or more plaques). Similar results were obtained with discordant higher Steno-Risk versus ACC/AHA-2013 (P < 0.001).

CONCLUSIONS

Among T1D patients undergoing primary prevention, use of Steno-Risk seems to result in better recognition of individuals with atherosclerosis in comparison with ESC/EASD-2019. Notwithstanding, carotid ultrasound could improve the categorization of cardiovascular risk.

Published: August 2022

OBJECTIVE

To examine the association between microvascular disease (MVD) and risk of heart failure (HF) among individuals with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) or type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

We included 1,713 and 28,624 participants with T1DM and T2DM, respectively, from the UK Biobank who were free of HF during enrollment. MVD burden reflected by the presence of retinopathy, peripheral neuropathy, and chronic kidney disease (CKD) at baseline was prospectively evaluated for the association with incidence of HF. Hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% CIs of HF were estimated by Cox regression models adjusted for multiple traditional risk factors.

RESULTS

There were 145 and 2,515 incident cases of HF recorded among participants with T1DM and T2DM, respectively, during a median follow-up of 11.5 years. The association between the number of MVD and HF was stronger among participants with T1DM than among those with T2DM (P for interaction <0.001). Compared with participants with no MVD, those with all three MVD had an adjusted HR (95% CI) of 11.37 (5.62, 22.99) in T1DM and 3.66 (2.74, 4.88) in T2DM. In T1DM, HRs (CIs) were 2.69 (1.75, 4.14) for retinopathy, 2.11 (1.38, 3.23) for peripheral neuropathy, and 2.21 (1.53, 3.18) for CKD. The corresponding estimates in T2DM were 1.24 (1.13, 1.36), 1.63 (1.36, 1.96), and 1.73 (1.59, 1.89), respectively.

CONCLUSIONS

While a heavier burden of MVD was associated with excess risk of HF both in T1DM and T2DM, the association was evidently more pronounced in T1DM.

Published: August 2022

Plant extracts from natural and renewable resources have the potential to replace conventional antioxidants in many applications and to increase the stability of lubricants. By specific selection of raw materials and adaptation of extraction parameters, the properties of the additives can be specifically optimized for the respective application. Easy-to-perform photometric assays enable targeted and rapid process adjustment and pre-selection of extracts. Later, they can be evaluated in application-oriented analytical methods, such as the rancimat test, with regard to their effect in the oil. In our analyses, secondary plant compounds increased the oxidation stability by 300 %, whereas the conventional antioxidants only achieved an increase of 200 %.

Published: August 2022

Aim of the study: to establish anamnestic, epidemiological, clinical and laboratory features in children of different age groupswith laboratory confirmation of SARS-CoV-2 in the course of the circulation period of the Omikron strain.Material and methods. 51 children, aged 0-18 years, with coronavirus infection manifestations and a positive PCR test forSARS-CoV-2 during the circulation period of the Omicron strain were followed up. The children had hemogram, serum glucose level, CRP, procalcitonin, coagulogram, PCR test for SARS-CoV-2, and chest radiography.Results. It was established that 23 children with SARS-CoV-2 (45.2 %) had little contact with ARVI. Almost 75% of childrenunder one year of age had a negative rapid test for SARS-CoV-2. The main complaint at the time of hospitalization in children was fever (94.1%). A change in leukocyte count was found to be present in only 47% of the children. Lymphocytosis with monocytosis prevailed in the leukocytic formula over granulocytosis (58.8 and 43.1%, respectively) (p<0.05). Chest radiography revealed pneumonia in 39.3% of children, and the inflammatory process was more often localized in the right lung (62.5%) (p<0.05). Sixty percent of children with pneumonia had blood saturation levels ≥ 95, 30% of children were between 92-94%, and only two children (10%) had blood saturation levels ≤ 91. An increase in serum fibrinogen B was detected in 35.3% of patients with pneumonia, and an increase in serum procalcitonin in 23.5% of patients with pneumonia. In 96.1% of children body temperature normalization occurred during the first five days of inpatient treatment, with 41.2% of children already on the first day.Conclusions. Thus, among patients with laboratory-confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection in the course of the circulation period ofthe Omicron strain, children under the age of 6 prevailed. About half of all children (45.2%) had contact with ARVI patients. The main complaint of the children at the time of hospitalization was fever, which was within the range of subfebrile and febrile figures, thirty children had hyperthermia. Changes in hemogram parameters were detected in 47% of children, with leukocytosis predominantly in young children, but leukopenia was characteristic of school-age children. X-ray signs of acute bronchitis were found in 43.1% of children, and 39.3% of children had signs of segmental or multisegmental pneumonia, mainly in school-aged children with rightsided lesions in most cases. Every tenth child with pneumonia had low blood saturation levels (≤91%), and every third child with pneumonia had increased serum fibrinogen B and procalcitonin. While staying at the hospital, normalization of body temperature was observed in the first five days in the majority of patients, and in almost a half of cases (41,2%) - during the first day.
Semi-automatic Acquisition of Datasets for Retail Recognition
Authors: Filax Marco , Gonschorek Tim
Published: August 2022

The acquisition of datasets is typically a laborious task. It is challenging, especially if the required annotations in every image in the dataset are vast. It is even more challenging if the inter-class variance, the visual difference between two distinct classes, is low. Retail product recognition constitutes an example of both issues. Products are densely packed on shelves, resulting in many objects within an image. Products share visual similarities, which makes them hard to distinguish. In this work, we propose Annotron, a tool tackling the acquisition problem in this domain. Exploiting dataset struc- tures, such as being organized in consecutive frames, we detect real-world objects through pre-trained detectors and reproject detections to generate candidate traces over time. Further, we aid labelers by computing poten- tial matches of real-world objects and reference images based on their visual similarity: We cluster consecutive detections based on a large set of reference images using embeddings acquired from pre-trained networks. Using the proposed tool reduces manual efforts drastically by diminishing the time spent on repetitive, error-prone tasks. We evaluate Annotron in the retail recognition domain. The domain is commonly considered fine-grained, which means that instance-level annotations are costly due to the described problems. We refine the given dataset, surpass the number of previously found stock-keeping units, and label over 446.500 individual bounding boxes.
Depth Completion for Close-Range Specular Objects
Authors: Pourmand S. , Merillou N. , Merillou S.
Published: August 2022

Many objects in the real world exhibit specular reflections. Due to the limitations of the basic RGB-D cameras, it is particularly challenging to accurately capture their 3D shapes. In this work, we present an approach to correct the depth of close-range specular objects using convolutional neural networks. We first generate a synthetic dataset containing such close-range objects. We then train a deep convolutional network to estimate normal and boundary maps from a single image.With these results, we propose an algorithm to detect the incorrect area of the raw depth map. After removing the erroneous zone, we complete the depth channel.
Estimation of mitral valve hinge point coordinates - deep neural net for echocardiogram segmentation
Authors: Schmidt Christian , Overhoff Heinrich Martin
Published: August 2022

Cardiac image segmentation is a powerful tool in regard to diagnostics and treatment of cardiovascular diseases. Purely feature-based detection of anatomical structures like the mitral valve is a laborious task due to specifically required feature engineering and is especially challenging in echocardiograms, because of their inherently low contrast and blurry boundaries between some anatomical structures. With the publication of further annotated medical datasets and the increase in GPU processing power, deep learning-based methods in medical image segmentation became more feasible in the past years. We propose a fully automatic detection method for mitral valve hinge points, which uses a U-Net based deep neural net to segment cardiac chambers in echocardiograms in a first step, and subsequently extracts the mitral valve hinge points from the resulting segmentations in a second step. Results measured with this automatic detection method were compared to reference coordinate values, which with median absolute hinge point coordinate errors of 1.35 mm for the x- (15-85 percentile range: [0.3 mm; 3.15 mm]) and 0.75 mm for the y- coordinate (15-85 percentile range: [0.15 mm; 1.88 mm]).
Impact of PCA-based preprocessing and different CNN structures on deformable registration of sonograms
Authors: Schmidt Christian , Overhoff Heinrich Martin
Published: August 2022

Central venous catheters (CVC) are commonly inserted into the large veins of the neck, e.g. the internal jugu- lar vein (IJV). CVC insertion may cause serious complications like misplacement into an artery or perforation of cervical vessels. Placing a CVC under sonographic guidance is an appropriate method to reduce such adverse events, if anatomical landmarks like venous and arterial vessels can be detected reliably. This task shall be solved by registration of patient individual images vs. an anatomically labelled reference image. In this work, a linear, affine transformation is performed on cervical sonograms, followed by a non-linear transformation to achieve a more precise registration. Voxelmorph (VM), a learning-based library for deformable image registration using a convolutional neural network (CNN) with U-Net structure was used for non-linear transformation. The impact of principal component analysis (PCA)-based pre-denoising of patient individual images, as well as the impact of modified net structures with differing complexities on registration results were examined visually and quan- titatively, the latter using metrics for deformation and image similarity. Using the PCA-approximated cervical sonograms resulted in decreased mean deformation lengths between 18% and 66% compared to their original image counterparts, depending on net structure. In addition, reducing the number of convolutional layers led to improved image similarity with PCA images, while worsening in original images. Despite a large reduction of network parameters, no overall decrease in registration quality was observed, leading to the conclusion that the original net structure is oversized for the task at hand.
Mesh compression method with on-the-fly decompression during rasterization and streaming support
Authors: Nikolaev Anton , Frolov Vladimir , Shcherbakov Alexandr
Published: August 2022

In this article we propose a method of mesh compression and streaming, that can be used for real-time rendering applications. While most of other existing compression methods require decompression on CPU before rendering and streaming methods use only non-compressed models, our approach allows to reduce memory consumption by applying decompression on GPU during rendering and streaming of only needed geometry data at the same time. Proposed approach requires pre-processing step, on which coarse 3D model with quad faces is build and resampling is done. Afterwards, each face of model is compressed and can be later rendered with tessellation shaders (decompression is done during rasterization). Also, we propose a way of adding streaming support to our compression method to further reduce memory consumption. Finally, we made a comparison with state of the art approach levels of detail (LODs) approach and found that proposed approach has much lower memory consumption without negative effects to rasterization performance and quality.
Self-Organising Maps for Efficient Data Reduction and Visual Optimisation of Stereoscopic based Disparity Maps
Authors: Mueller Simone , Kranzlmueller Dieter
Published: August 2022

Many modern autonomous systems use disparity maps for recognition and interpretation of their environment. The depth information of these disparity maps can be utilised for point cloud generation. Real-time and high-quality processing of point clouds is necessary for reliable detection of safety-relevant issues such as barriers or obstacles in road traffic. However, quality characteristics of point clouds are influenced by properties of depth sensors and environmental conditions such as illumination, surface and texture. Quality optimisation and real-time implemen- tation can be resource intensive. Limiting the amount of data allows optimisation of real-time processing. We use Kohonen network existing self-organising maps to identify and segment salient objects in disparity maps. Kohonen networks use unsupervised learning to generate disparity maps abstracted by a small number of vectors instead of all pixels. The combination of object-specific segmentation and reduced pixel number decreases the memory and processing time towards real-time compatibility. Our results show that trained self-organising maps can be applied to disparity maps for improved runtime, reduced data volume and further processing of 3D reconstruction of salient objects.
Magnitude of Semicircle Tiles in Fourier-space - A Handcrafted Feature Descriptor for Word Recognition using Embedded Prototype Subspace Classifiers
Authors: Hast Anders
Published: August 2022

The purpose of this paper is to in detail describe and analyse a Fourier based handcrafted descriptor for word recognition. Especially, it is discussed how the Variability in the results can be analysed and visualised. This efficiency of the descriptor is evaluated for the use with embedded prototype subspace classifiers for handwritten word recognition. Nonetheless, it can be used with any classifier for any purpose. An hierarchical composition of discrete semicircles in the Fourier-space is proposed and it will will be show how this compares to Gabor filters, which can be used to extract edges in an image. In comparison to Histogram of Oriented Gradients, the proposed feature descriptor performs better in this scenario. Compression using PCA turns out to be able to increase both the F1-score as well as decreasing the Variability.
Color-dependent pruning in immersive video coding

Published: August 2022

This paper presents the color-dependent method of removing inter-view redundancy from multiview video. The pruning of input views decides which fragments of views are redundant, i.e., do not provide new information about the three-dimensional scene, as these fragments were already visible from different views. The proposed modification of the pruning uses both color and depth and utilizes the adaptive pruning threshold which increases the robustness against the noisy input. As performed experiments have shown, the proposal provides significant improvement in the quality of encoded multiview videos and decreases erroneous areas in the decoded video caused by different camera characteristics, specular surfaces, and mirror-like reflections. The pruning method proposed by the authors of this paper was evaluated by experts of the ISO/IEC JTC1/SC29/WG 11 MPEG and included by them in the Test Model of MPEG Immersive Video.
3D Point Set Registration based on Hierarchical Descriptors
Authors: Dutta Somnath , Russig Benjamin , Gumhold Stefan
Published: August 2022

Registering partial point clouds is crucial in numerous applications in the field of robotics, vision, and graphics. For arbitrary configurations, the registration problem requires an initial global alignment, which is computationally expensive and often still requires refinement. In this paper, we propose a pair-wise global registration method that combines the fast convergence made possible by global hierarchical surface descriptors with the arbitrarily fine sampling enabled by continuous surface representations. Registration is performed by matching descriptors of increasing resolution – which the continuous surfaces allow us to choose arbitrarily high – while restricting the search space according to the hierarchy. We evaluated our method on a large set of pair-wise registration problems, demonstrating very competitive registration accuracy that often makes subsequent refinement with a local method unnecessary.
ANCIENT CHRONICLES AS A SOURCE FOR STUDYING THE HISTORY OF THE REDUCED VOWELS IN THE WORK OF P. LAVROVSKYI «ON THE LANGUAGE OF NOTHERN RUSSIAN CHRONICLES»
Authors: Glushchenko Volodymyr
Published: August 2022

In the 50’s of the XIX century Peter Lavrovskyi (1827–1886), a prominent Slavic philologist and educator, published a number of works on the ancient Russian (Proto-East Slavic) language and its dialects. Among these studies, which have retained their scientific significance to our time, the book «On the language of northern Russian chronicles» (1852) should be mentioned, in which P. Lavrovskyi, basing on ancient East Slavic manuscripts, studied in detail the nature, origin and history of reduced vowels [ъ], [ь] on the East Slavic territory. Ancient manuscripts were a priority source for the study of the reduced for P. Lavrovskyi: chronicles, deeds, treaties, acts. At the same time, the scientist used the material of his contemporary Slavic languages, primarily East Slavic, as an auxiliary source

Key words: P. Lavrovskyi, ancient manuscripts, chronicles, reduced vowels, decline of the reduced vowels, the Common Slavonic language, the Old Russian language, the Eastern Slavonic languages.
THE SPECIFICITY OF PHRASAL VERBS USAGE IN THE ENGLISH LEXICOLOGY CLASSES
Authors: Yablonska Tetyana
Published: August 2022

The relevance of the English Language learning is substantiated in the article for many reasons. First, because of its international meaning in the whole world. Secondly, due to the huge variety of vocabulary, the presence of emotionally coloured set phrases, turns, idioms, phraseological units, proverbs, sayings and phrasal verbs. Thirdly, due to its emotional coloring, individuality and the presence of words of Greek, Latin and French origin.

The article considers the specifics of the use of phrasal verbs in English Lexicology classes. Such teaching methods as descriptive (for a general description of the context of a phrasal verb in English); contextual-interpretive (to identify the functional and semantic meaning of a phrasal verb), as well as a method of creating a problem situation with the help of a phrasal verb. The essence of the term «phrasal verbs» is defined; the place of phrasal verbs in the English Lexicology is considered and the features of phrasal verbs usage in this discipline are determined.

The features of perception and memorization of phrasal verbs are considered. Attention is paid to the classification of phrasal verbs. It has been proven that phrasal verbs are one of the most difficult moments regarding mastering the English language, but despite this, it is thanks to their use in the context that the English language becomes more «alive», extraordinary and emotionally colored, and in turn, the constant study of phrasal verbs and the use of their meanings in the context contributes to the memorization of new lexical units through associations, images and situations.
LEXICAL EXPLICATION OF THE CONCEPT «POWER» IN OLD ENGLISH (LEXICAL AND-SEMANTIC STUDIES)
Authors: I. Iliadi Alexander , A. Fedorova Anastasiia
Published: August 2022

The paper deals with a group of Old English lexemes with the meaning ʻpowerʼ, namely: wald/weald, mund, rīki/rīce, dōm. The use of wald/weald, mund, rīki/rīce, dōm in genre-variegated original texts gives grounds for referring them to the semantic field «Law», i.e., to a very important cluster of the vocabulary of the ancient Angles and Saxons. Working with words expressing the concept of «power», the authors set the goal of analyzing the semantic nuances that differentiate the use of OE wald, mund, etc., for which they solve several research tasks: 1) find out the sources of the semantics of ʻpowerʼ; 2) determine the conditions in which the sememe ʻpowerʼ developed on the basis of other meanings (contexts and, in one case, possibly the result of the influence of Latin as the language of law).

The analysis of the material gives reason to assume that the Old English contexts, where actual connections of the meanings of a single word are traced, do not always prove the fact that the sememe ʻpowerʼ appeared precisely in the Old English period, because in other ancient Germanic languages etymological analogues with a close semantic relationship are known. This fact indicates the probability of the Proto-Germanic age of the semantic shift.

Pada jam ke 16 dan 24 warna pada kambing mengalami perubahan menjadi merah kecoklatan, berbau busuk, kosisitensi menjadi lembek, tekstur kelima daging telah menjadi kasar, terjadi penurunan nilai pH, kadar air meningkat dan daya ikat air menurun. Pada uji Eber terlihat adanya uap pada dinding tabung dan untuk uji H2S terlihat adanya bintik kecoklatan pada kertas tisu diamana hal ini telah terjadi proses pembusukan. Dari penelitian ini dapat disimpulkan bahwa, daging kambing yang disimpan pada suhu ruang mengalami pembusukan pada jam ke-16. Disarankan bahwa meletakkan daging kambing pada suhu ruang, sebaiknya tidak lebih dari 16 jam dan untuk mempertahankan kualitasnya, daging kambing dapat disimpan pada suhu dingin.

Escherichia coli sebagai penyebab kolibasilosis merupakan penyakit yang penting pada peternakan babi karena mengakibatkan timbulnya penurunan berat badan, kematian pada babi dan kerugian ekonomi yang signifikan. Penanganan kolibasilosis dengan menggunakan antibiotika dapat menyebabkan terjadinya efek resistensi, maka diperlukan alternatif lain menggunakan vaksin. Pengembangan vaksin terbaru yang dilakukan Universitas Udayana menggunakan isolat E. coli dari daerah Bali dilakukan untuk menangani masalah ini. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui efektivitas respon imun terhadap E. coli pada anak babi yang telah diberi vaksin rekombinan E. coli – Avian Influenza. Sampel yang digunakan pada penelitian ini adalah serum dari 12 ekor anak babi. Pada penelitian ini sampel dibagi menjadi dua kelompok, yaitu kelompok perlakuan dengan pemberian vaksin dan kelompok kontrol tanpa pemberian vaksin. Kelompok perlakuan diberikan vaksin pada umur 1 minggu dan diulang pada umur 3 minggu, setelah itu serum dari kedua kelompok diambil saat babi berumur 4 minggu. Serum tersebut kemudian diuji menggunakan uji serologis Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA). Hasil dari pengujian didapatkan angka optical density yang bervariasi, kelompok perlakuan memiliki rerata optical density 1,010 dan kelompok kontrol memiliki rerata 0,418. Pada analisis statistik menggunakan uji t tidak berpasangan kedua kelompok itu memiliki perbedaan yang signifikan. Tingkat antibodi terhadap E. coli pada anak babi yang divaksinasi lebih tinggi daripada tingkat antibodi terhadap E. coli pada anak babi yang tidak divaksinasi. Data kasus diare digunakan sebagai data pendukung yang menunjukan perbedaan yang nyata setelah kelompok vaksinasi diberikan vaksin booster pada minggu ketiga. Pada minggu keempat kelompok vaksinasi tidak terdapat anak babi yang terkena diare, sedangkan pada kelompok tidak divaksinasi didapatkan 4 anak babi terkena diare. Dapat disimpulkan bahwa terjadi peningkatan respon imun pada babi yang diberi vaksin rekombinan E. coli Kesimpulan dari penelitian ini adalah terjadi peningkatan respon imun pada babi yang diberi vaksin rekombinan E. coli dari kelompok kontrol.

Banggai cardinal fish (Pterapogon kauderni) is a marine fish native to Indonesia. P. kauderni is listed as an endangered species in the red list category by the IUCN. P. kauderni is very dependent on microhabitats in the form of benthic animals (symbionts), namely sea urchins, sea anemones, and hard corals. Besides P. kauderni, other fish from the family Apogonidae also live in association with sea urchins. The purpose of this study was to examine the density of P. kauderni and associated biota and to calculate the density correlation between P. kauderni associated biota in the waters of Gilimanuk Bay, Bali. This study uses a modification of the Belt Transect method, with a transect of 50 meters long and 2.5 meters wide to the left and right. The total density of sea urchins was 0,088 ind/m2, the total density of Fibramia thermalis was 0,021 ind/m2, and the total density of P. kauderni was 0,071 ind/m2. Between P. kauderni and sea urchins there is a correlation with the value of r = 0,711 and a P-value of 0,031 < 0,05 which indicates that the large number of sea urchins will affect the number of P. kauderni in the waters. The correlation between density of P. kauderni and Fibramia thermalis worth r = 0,509 with P-value of 0,160 > 0,05, which means that the number of Fibramia thermalis has no effect on the number of P. kauderni.

The Covid-19 pandemic has caused great damage globally to the perpetual existence of the human race. Once exposed, no one is immune and no place is uninfectable. However, in the effort to find a silver lining from this catastrophe, below I discuss lessons learned from enforced strategies emerging from this lethal pandemic.  In particular, I examine the implications of the pandemic for our urban areas as well as for domestic spatial arrangements. Immediate planning strategies at both levels, the urban and the domestic are also proposed within.Keywords: spatial reconfiguration; bicycle use; urban space; domestic space AbstrakPandemi covid-19, dalam skala global, telah membawa kerusakan yang masif terhadap keberlangsungan umat manusia di muka bumi ini. Sekali terpapar, tidak ada satupun umat manusia yang kebal dari infeksi dan tidak ada tempat yang tidak bisa dipenetrasi. Akan tetapi, dalam usaha mencari sisi baik dari sebuah kondisi, saya mendiskusikan hal-hal yang bisa dipelajari, beranjak dari  beragam strategi yang muncul dari dampak yang diakibatkan oleh pandemic Covid-19 yang mematikan. Secara khusus, saya menganalisa implikasi dari pandemi terhadap ruang-ruang kota dan juga tatanan keruangan di tingkat domestik. Saya juga memproposisikan strategi dan perencanaan yang relevan diterapkan di kedua level, baik di kawasan perkotaan dan/atau perumahan.Kata kunci: konfigurasi spasial; pemanfaatan sepeda; ruang kota; ruang domestik
Ownership of Medical Records in Indonesia: Discourse on Legal Certainty and Justice
Authors: Dwi Erawati Ambar , Dini Iswandari Hargianti
Published: August 2022

Medical disputes between patients and health workers place medical records as a vital document for evidentiary in a court proceeding. The existing law and regulations in Indonesia determine that the medical record file is owned by the health service facility, while the patient receives a summary of the medical record. This study aims to analyze medical record ownership in Indonesia from perspectives of legal certainty and justice. This article reflects normative juridical research that explores relevant primary and secondary legal materials to be analyzed deductively. This article concluded that the obligation of health workers to make medical records in proving that they have delivered properly a health service as stipulated in the law and regulations reflects a legal certainty. However, laws and regulations governing the ownership of medical records seem not to fully reflect the principle of justice since medical record files are owned by doctors, dentists, or health service facilities. Even though patients/health service recipients are entitled to requesting the files from health care facilities, the sense of justice for the patients would be in the form of easy procedures for obtaining medical records.

Bipolaris infection presenting as granulomatous pleuritis and mediastinal mass in a young immunocompetent man: a case report
Authors: Sharif Nadia , Nasir Sana , Soomro Niaz Hussain
Published: August 2022

Background:

Bipolaris species are dematiaceous fungi that originally are plant pathogens but have been reported to cause a wide spectrum of diseases in both immunocompromised and immunocompetent human hosts.

Case Presentation:

We report a case of a young immunocompetent man who presented with fever, dry cough, and malaise. He had unilateral pleural effusion with mediastinal mass. Histopathology of pleura and mediastinal mass revealed granulomatous inflammation with fungal pseudohyphae. Tissue cultures grew Bipolaris species. He is on itraconazole with significant clinical improvement.

Conclusion:

This clinical presentation of Bipolaris infection has not been previously described. In Pakistan, where tuberculosis pleuritis is frequently encountered, this case highlights that other rare causes of granulomatous pleuritis can also present in a similar fashion.
Pulmonary sequestration diagnosed at unusual age and location

Published: August 2022

Background:

Pulmonary sequestration (PS) is defined as nonfunctional tissue within lung, has separate arterial supply from lung itself and does not have any communication with the tracheobronchial tree. PS is divided into two types which are intralobar pulmonary sequestration (ILS) and extralobar pulmonary sequestration (ELS). PS is a rare congenital malformation of the lungs which is composed of 0.15% to 6.4% of all congenital lung malformation. PS is commonly located in the left lobes and its incidence, especially the incidence of ILS, in the pediatric population is higher than in the adult population. Diagnosis of intralobar pulmonary sequestration which is in the right lower lobe in the third decade of life is a rare situation. We present a case of 37-year-old man diagnosed with ILS located in the right lower lobe which has its own arterial supply directly from descending aorta. This rare case was treated with right lower lobectomy just after the coil embolization of its arterial supply with the help of interventional radiology.
