The discussion about heart failure (HF) is always important, not only because of the expressive numbers so prevalent with advancing age in the population, but also because of the social and economic impact of thousands of lives. The HF due to its importance has and must be well conducted. Its diagnostic role is very valuable, being readily recognized and classified, its evolution may be delayed or even reversed with the patient well medicated and well oriented. Their mortality in the final phase with refractoriness cannot limit care and nor wane in the search for the best possible quality of life with the rehabilitation of these, abilities so little used today. In this book we have outlined a didactic classification in 6 chapters: 1) concept and classification 2) clinical picture 3) diagnosis 4) complementary exams 5) non-drug treatment and 6) drug treatment. The objective was not to exhaust all the possibilities of this universe that is HF, but we aim, in a didactic way, to update the theme in what seemed to us to be as important and current as possible. Research within a respected bibliography and the most current guidelines was done for our foundation. Davi Ferreira Melo
«A correct description of the bygone war»: previously unknown strategic memorandum by the General en chef, Count Petr Panin and the unraveled mystery of authorship of the anonymous memoirs about the Russo-Turkish War of 1736–1739
Authors:   Institute of Slavic Studies, Russian Academy of Sciences, Kashirin Vasili B.
Published: February 2022

The article for the first time introduces into scientific circulation a valuable historical document ― the second part of the well-known memoir of a participant in the Russo-Turkish war of 1736–1739 under the title “Zapiska o tom skol’ko ya pamiatuyu o krymskih I turetskih pohodah” (“A note about how much I remember about the Crimean and Turkish campaigns”). The second part of the document discovered in the archive is a generalisation of the military experience of fightings against the Turkish and Tatar troops, and contains specific proposals for the operations of the Russian army at the beginning of the Russo-Turkish war of 1768–1774. This discovery made it possible to prove that the author of both parts of the document is an outstanding military figure, General en Chef, Count Petr Panin (1720–1789). The article proves that the document was drawn up by him at the end of 1768 to reinforce Panin's position in developing military strategy of the Russian Empire in the fight against Turkey. As the analysis of the document shows, Panin was a supporter of active offensive actions in the Dniester theatre of war, in particular, the preventive occupation of Polish fortresses in that area. Among other things, the established authorship of the document sheds light on the early stage of Petr Panin's military career and the circumstances of his participation in the Russo-Turkish war of 1736–1739. The full text of the document is published in the appendix to the article for the first time.
Greek lands in the last quarter of the 18th century in the perception of Russian consuls
Authors:   Institute of Slavic Studies, Russian Academy of Sciences, Petrunina Olga E.
Published: February 2022

More and more Europeans visited Greek lands in the 18th century, changing and expanding their ideas of the life of Christians under the rule of the Sultan. In Russia, these ideas were supplemented by reports from the first Russian consuls who arrived in the Ottoman Empire after the Russo-Turkish war of 1768–1774. Official correspondence of the consuls contained information about the local society, relationships between different ethno-confessional communities, separatist actions of Albanian beys, the degree of the empire's readiness for a new war with Russia, first measures at the beginning of the 1787–1791 war, and the attitude of the Greek population towards them.

The article analyses views of the Bulgarians and Greeks on the role of Russia in the Balkans. Perception of the Russian plans in the region evoked expectations, hopes and fears among the Bulgarians and Greeks, which gradually developed into persistent stereotypes that still affect their relations with Russia. The essay discusses specific examples in which Slavic and anti-Slavic ideas are used for political purposes by the Bulgarian and Greek elites, respectively.
Russian diplomat P.M. Vlasov on the results and prospects of the development of the Montenegro Principality at the beginning of the 20th century and on the necessity of cooperation between Russia and Montenegro
Authors:   Lomonosov Moscow State University, Khlebnikova Varvara
Published: February 2022

This article focuses on how the head of the Russian diplomatic mission P.M. Vlasov tried to break the deadlock in Russian-Montenegrin relations. He worked hard to analyse and re-evaluate the experience accumulated by his predecessors. Scrupulously following the instructions and recommendations of his superior V.N. Lamsdorf, the resident minister drew up a number of proposals for adjusting Russian politics in the Principality after the Congress of Berlin of 1878. However, these efforts were in vain, and the diplomat himself was criticised for lack of flexibility and even stubbornness. His attempts to improve the quality of bilateral cooperation ended in failure.

Great Britain and the problem of the "Balkan equilibrium" in 1939
Authors:   Lomonosov Moscow State University, Aganson Olga I.
Published: February 2022

The article analyses British policy in the Balkans in the context of the aggravated international instability on the eve of the Second World War. London’s actions appeared to be reactive as it had to modify its approaches to Southeastern Europe due to advancing expansion of the Third Reich aiming at making Balkan economies dependent from Berlin as well as interfering with internal affairs of local countries. It is revealed that incoherency and controversies of the British policy in the Balkan region were caused by the weakening British position within the international system, on the one hand, and Foreign Office ignorant attitude to the specific character of Balkan developments, on the other hand.
«Albanian dawn»: Russian society and the Albanian issue at the beginning of the 20th century (based on the materials from literary monthly)
Authors:   Federal Center of Theoretical and Applied Sociology, Russian Academy of Sciences, Klimenko Zoya V.
Published: February 2022

The article analyses points of view presented in the early 20th century Russian press on the Albanian question, which then emerged on the international agenda, and on the problem of creation of the independent Albanian State in the Balkans, which had never existed earlier. The sources used by the author (“literary monthly”) were not only reflecting contemporary events of the First Balkan War through publishing reports of their correspondents in the Balkans, but also forming public opinion through offering their issued to the most significant and influential experts in the Balkan affairs of that time. The article demonstrates the interest of the Russian society in the process of definitive liberation of the European Turkey from the Ottoman yoke, sharp criticism of the Great Powers’ policy which in reality meant holding the Balkan allies back, and diminishing results of their military victories, as well as criticism of the Russian government, which, in the experts’ opinion, consented to this policy to the detriment of both its own prestige in the Balkans and the Balkan States’ interests.
The Effect of Corporate Social Responsibility, Family Ownership on Tax Avoidance: The Effect of Audit Quality Moderation
Authors: Yopie Santi , Elivia Elivia
Published: February 2022

Large tax receipts are essential for every country for its growth and development but it’s constrained by the fact that some people are not willing to pay taxes voluntarily and deliberately avoid tax in various ways. This research aims to examine the effect of corporate social responsibility, family ownership and audit quality on tax avoidance. This research also investigates whether audit quality can affect the causal relation of family ownership to tax avoidance. This research was conducted using non-financial firms. Total of sample that have met all the criteria was 158 companies which was registered on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) in the period of 2015-2019. Data obtained were tested with panel regression. Regression analysis results reveal that corporate social responsibility and tax avoidance are positively associated, corporation with high corporate social responsibility disclosure are less likely to engage in tax avoidance. Family ownership, on the other hand, affects tax avoidance negatively which means that family firms engage in more tax avoidance than non-family firms. Audit quality has a significant positive effect on tax avoidance but does not affect the relationship of family ownership to tax avoidance.

Authors: Paudyal Hari , Pangeni Bimala , Basnet Prabin , Inoue Katsutoshi
Published: February 2022

The adsorbent for Sr(II) ion removal was prepared from orange juice residue (OJR) after carbonization at 800°C. An energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectroscopic analysis showed the existence of trace amounts of P, Na, K, and Fe together with C and Ca in the examined sample of COJR. The adsorption parameters such as effect of pH, contact time, initial Sr(II) concentration and adsorbent dosage were studied. COJR selectively adsorbed Sr(II) from the mixed solution containing Sr(II) and Cs(I). Experimental data obtained for the adsorption of Sr(II) were analyzed by using Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models, and the data were well fitted with both the models with R2 higher than 0.98. Adsorption equilibrium was achieved within one hour by using a 24.3 mg/L Sr(II) solution at a solid-liquid ratio of 1g/L. The maximum adsorption capacity (Qmax) and adsorption equilibrium constant (b) of COJR for Sr(II) ion were found to be 322.58 mmol/kg and 1.93 L/mmol, respectively. The concentration of Sr(II) was successfully lowered down to the EPA standard (4 mg/L) by using COJR dosage higher than 4 g/L. The adsorbed Sr(II) could be successfully desorbed using a dilute (0.5M) solution of hydrochloric acid. These results indicated that COJR investigated in this study showed a high affinity for Sr(II) ion thus it is expected to be employed as a promising adsorbent for the removal of Sr(II) ions from polluted water.

Authors:   Odessa National Maritime University, Smarkalova Antonina
Published: February 2022

In the article, the nature and entity of inspection activities on marine transport are reviewed. Inspection organizations are divided by ownership. Different types of inspection bodies are looked into and specific scope of the inspection services they provide are elaborated. Consumers of inspection services, are identified, such as manufacturers, buyers, traders, shipow-ners, banks, etc. The reasons of a high rise in growth and spread of the inspection business are emphasized due to the increasing of competition and complete lack of trust in the maritime sector between all organizations and regulators inside the industry. The necessity of involving an independent inspection organization into the transport process is investigated. The main prerequisites, factors and regulatory frameworks for the implementation of inspection activities and their extensive system of specializations are reviewed. Independent inspection services for qualitative and / or quantitative examinations of specific items, objects or occurrences, which facilitate the work and reduce risks of principals, are studied. The features of inspection services provided are distinguished between inspectors of P&I Clubs, which represent associations that provide marine protection and indemnity liability cover for shipowners, loss adjusters, who serve as claims specialists and are appointed by insurance companies, and also independent cargo surveyors, who act as the third party and provide services for independent and impartial quantitative and qualitative inspection of various goods in accordance with modern international requirements. The relationship between independent surveying companies and the rest of the participants in the process of purchase and sale of goods was determined. Some of the most important usual assignments and activities of independent inspectorat the transport services market are described and schematized. The place and role of independent inspection companies in the scheme of formatting, concluding and effecting of a foreign trade agreement are highlighted.Keywords: inspection organizations, survey, surveying operations, P&I clubs, loss adjusters.

Authors: Bekebayeva M.O. , Nazarbekova S.T.
Published: February 2022

The study of natural flora and its biodiversity, as well as its conservation, is one of the main tasks in the biological sciences. The threat of extinction of rare, endemic and disappearing species of the flora of Kazakhstan indicates the need to develop scientific foundations and methodological approaches to the conservation, restoration and effective use of their genetic reserves. The flora is characterized by the specific composition, soil and climatic conditions of the region, but many components are poorly studied in terms of their phytochemical and biological activity. The issues of phytochemical studies of plants of the local flora are also listed in the priority directions of the program for the development of pharmaceutical production in the Republic of Kazakhstan. Thus, representatives of genus Ferula(family Apiaceae — Umbelliferae) are known mainly as a source of medicinal properties. Unfortunately, there are few data about useful properties of genus Ferula species in the national and international literature. Ferula tenuisectaKorovin as the medicinal plant is paramount in the production of medicinal preparations due to its chemical composition. Overall, results of the study on Ferula tenuisecta were analyzed in the article. Directions for further study of Ferula tenuisectawere determined.

Published: February 2022

Huge quantities of chromium-containing leather solid wastes are generated during the production of chrome-tanned leather worldwide. Disposal of these huge quantities of leather solid wastes is a major challenge due to the presence of chromium, which is highly toxic (mainly in its hexavalent form) and detrimental to the environment. Sustainable and environmentally friendly methods of their disposal and treatment options for removing chromium are required so that the dechromed waste can be utilized to make useful products, such as fertilizer for soil conditioning, to improve agriculture, or other applications. In this study, therefore, a new method of dechroming leather solid wastes was designed, whose procedure and results were compared with three other commonly used methods. The focus of the various dechroming methods was on the evaluation of the degree of chromium extraction from chrome-tanned leather wastes without destroying the collagen tissues. The average total amount of extractable chromium content (Cr2O3) in the dried leather waste samples was found to be 3.67%. The new method was found to be relatively more efficient, environmentally sound and less cumbersome than all the other methods investigated in this work. At P-Value of < 0.05, concentrations of chromium extracted and %TKN in residual collagen hydrolysate reached up to 99.89% and 52.89%, respectively. The levels of total ash and total organic carbon were also relatively high in the resultant collagen hydrolysate (i.e. 12.42% and 23.27%, respectively). The t distribution test on the results of the various dechroming methods confirmed that there was a significant difference at 95% confidence interval, since t (calculated) was greater than t (tabulated). It was concluded that nearly all the chromium in chrome-tanned leather wastes can be removed with a simple technology, which is sustainable and environmentally sound.

The current study focuses on reviewing different traditionally practiced Indian textiles techniques used to upcycle and recycle textile waste, including fabric waste, rejected garments, used garments and fabrics, finished and processed textile products and other kinds of hard textile waste. The findings reveal that many artisans, weavers, craftspeople, self-help groups, and fashion and textile designers from different Indian states are practicing many traditional textile techniques to recycle and up-cycle textile waste. Among these techniques, the famous techniques identified include Kantha of West Bengal, Sujani of Bihar, Kathputlis of Northern Indian states, Panja Dari of Haryana, Namda and Gabba of Kashmir, Kausti of Karnataka, Patchwork and Chindi Rugs. There exists a strong need to make people aware of the methods of recycling textiles that not just increase manufactured textile product life cycle but also contribute towards a sustainable future of the fashion and textile industry in a developing country like India. It has been observed that these techniques play a crucial role in converting textile waste into creative functional products, thus silently contributing to the sustainable future of the textile industry. The objective of this study is to summarize and publicize the methods of these traditionally practiced Indian textile techniques used to recycle and upcycle tonnes of textile waste produced every year. It was found that these traditionally practiced recycling and upcycling techniques of various Indian states are contributing silently to the sustainable future of the Indian textile industry. The recycling of old cloth not just increases the product life cycle but also provides employment to millions of people.

Javaheritage Hotel is a 4-star hotel located in the tourist city of Purwokerto. Java Heritage already has a membership system to increase consumersâ€™ purchases back to the hotel. The current membership system allows consumers to purchase members who will get an active stay voucher for one year. Javaheritage requires increasing the number of repurchases by member and non-member consumers to Javaheritage hotels. Gamification applies scoring points, competition, and game rules to other activities or activities. This study aims to design a hotel membership system that implements gamification to increase repurchase at java heritage hotels. The output of this research is a research journal, and the TKT that will be achieved is at level 7. Namely, the Demonstration of a prototype system in a natural environment. The development method used is RAD (Rapid Application Development) and system design depiction using UML.

The present study aimed to identify and quantify, in an exploratory way, the visual aspects and defects found in the Brazilian pine seeds, in addition to testing the flotation method for the separation of healthy seeds. Many of the samples (26,5%) were damaged by the drill, however, 69% of them with no external signs, making separation only based on the external aspect very difficult. In the case of cooked seeds this is even more complicated considering the color change. Other seeds with greenish, pinkish, plastered and white/cream embryos were found. The most attacked seeds were those that floated, followed by those that remained in balance and, to a lesser extent, those that sank.

Objectives: During 2019 there was a worldwide shortage of BCG strains for intravesical instillation, limiting the availability of full dose schemes for maintenance courses. The main objective of the present study is to analyze whether patients affected during the shortage by reduced dose courses, are at a higher risk of tumor recurrence than those receiving full dose schemes.
Methods: Retrospective cohort study with a total sample of 154 subjects (60 treated during 2019 and 94 during 2017) with high-risk non-muscle invasive bladder cancer and treated with a combination of Transurethral bladder resection (TURB) followed by adjuvant intravesical instillation with BCG.
Basal characteristics of both groups were analyzed. Times to event of interest (relapse; including recurrence and/or progression) were estimated by survival analysis using the Kaplan-Meier method. Relapse-free survival rates were analyzed using a multivariable Cox regression model of proportional hazards.
Results: Median follow-up in the 2019 sample was 503 days and 1197 days in the 2017 group, with a median number of instillations of 8 and 12 respectively. There was a 37.7% proportion of tumoral relapse observed in the 2019 group and 29.03% during 2017.
Survival analysis revealed mean relapse-free follow-up of 683 days (95%CI 601.3-765.5) in the 2019 group and of 1359 days (95%CI 1244.3-1474) in 2017. Further analysis using LogRank test revealed observed differences to be statistically significant (p=0.02)
Multivariable analysis revealed a proportional Hazard ratio (HR) for relapse-free survival rate of 2.2 (95% CI: 1.13-4.25; p=0.019) regarding the 2019 sample treated with a reduced-dose course.
Conclusions: BCG shortage and the subsequent reduced-dose schemes used for intravesical instillation, due to limited availability, had a significant impact on tumor relapse rates during follow-up. These findings are consistent with other published studies and show the need for full-dose BCG courses in order to prevent higher relapse rates after TURB.
Association between vascular and structural parameters by optical coherence tomography angiography in primary congenital glaucoma
Authors: Morales L.
Published: February 2022

Objective: To determine the association of structural and vascular parameters using optical coherence tomography (OCT) angiography (-A), in patients diagnosed with primary congenital glaucoma (PCG).
Material and methods: 40 patients diagnosed with PCG were recruited (only one eye per patient was included). All study participants underwent a comprehensive ophthalmologic examination. Peripapillary and macular vascular measurements were obtained using AngioplexTM OCTA with a 4.5×4.5mm optic nerve head scan and 6x6mm macular scan. Structural parameters were collected: circumpapillary Retinal nerve fiber layer (cpRNFL) thickness (global and quadrants), ganglion cell-inner plexiform layer complex (GCL+IPL) thickness (average, minimum and sectors), rim area, average and vertical cup to disc (C/D) ratio and cup volume.
Results: Global peripapillary values were: Mean flux index (FI) was 0.39 (0.05), mean perfusion density (pPD) was 42.57 (4.56) %, cpRNFL was 78.65 (22.50) microns, average c/p ratio (0.59 (0.18) and global GCL+IPL thickness was 71.71 (14.81) microns and minimum GCL+IPL thickness was 64.18 (18.63) microns. Statistical correlation was found between peripapillary structural, vascular and morphologic parameters (all p<0.023).
Conclusion: OCTA measurements could offer useful and objective measurement of damage in early and severe congenital glaucoma, complementary to that offered by OCT.

The objective of the study was to explore the knowledge and attitudes of Spanish medical students about vaccines, their sources of information, the training received during their studies and their future expectations about postgraduate training activities.
A descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out in three Spanish universities between February 1 and May 31, 2019, through a self-administered survey of 55 questions: baseline sociodemographic questionnaire, knowledge about vaccination, necessary vaccines in health personnel, sources of information and opinion on the teaching received in vaccinology. The scale had a Cronbach’s alpha level of 0.767. There was a 67.2% (1821/2709) contact rate, a 52.2% (951/1821) response rate, and an eligibility of 93.2% (887/951). The mean age was 21.7 ± 3.6 years, of which 67.9% (646/1821) were women. The mean score for knowledge was 44.6 (SD 4.3), with a good proportion of correct answers and with significant differences between first and second cycle students, in addition to differences by gender in two statements: vaccines are effective and vaccination must be mandatory to achieve universal coverage. 34.98% (332/949) did not know the vaccination schedule. The mean attitude score was 36.7 (SD 4.1). The main sources of information on vaccines came from the academic environment and the family / internet and 87.7% (828/951) declared only ≤3 courses related to vaccination. 80.1% (461/951) believed that doctors should be the best trained professionals in vaccination. 51.2% believed that universities should be the central institution for training in vaccines during postgraduate studies, compared to 25.2% professional associations, 16.4% scientific societies and only 5.4% the pharmaceutical industry. The deficient training in vaccinology of Spanish medical students must be improved from academic institutions and professional associations, both undergraduate and graduate.
