“THE POETRY OF BREAKING”: THE ARCHITECTURE OF THE MUSEUM IN THE PROJECTS OF DANIEL LIBESKIND
Authors: DERIABINA О.O.
Published: August 2021

Raising of problem. The study of the creativity of masters of architecture of the late XX − early XXI centuries, as a rule, occurs in line with the consideration of the characteristic features inherent in one or another author. Most of the scientific works state that the structure belongs to a certain trend, direction, style. But the choice of artistic means by the architect remains unclear, which is reflected in the discrepancy between the figurative solution and the purpose of the building in the perception of the consumer. Therefore, it is relevant to consider the creativity of architects, in whose works artistic and semantic characteristics acquire an organic fusion. Among such masters is Daniel Libeskind, who made the complex language of deconstructivism the only one possible for his architectural work. The article is devoted to the consideration of the origins of the artistic language of the outstanding architect on the example of his museum projects, which constitute a significant part of his work. Purpose is to analyze the characteristic features of the artistic language of Daniel Libeskind on the example of museum projects. The research was carried out on the material of the master's works dedicated to the national tragedy of the Jewish people − the war and the Holocaust. Conclusion. The circumstances of Daniel Libeskind’s personal life, as well as his passion for philosophy and music, had a great influence on his work. The Libeskind’s artistic language is very individual: within the framework of one project, he combines dissonance and harmony, the tragedy of war and the desire for a peaceful life. The compositional means the architect uses to embody these categories are: asymmetry, contradictory combinations of volumes and spaces, virtuoso interweaving of lines and planes. The artistic language of all Libeskind’s museum buildings has similarities that can be traced in each project, namely broken, non-parallel lines, pointed forms, invasions, contrast and script.

Published: August 2021

Purpose. The purpose of the article is to identify methods of structural and spatial changes within the existing urban riparian areas. As a result of the research, the need to rethink the attitude to urban planning in general, and within the river space in particular, was formulated. The task is to revitalize the territory within the water area by creating public spaces, restoring the ecological framework through the introduction of ecological clusters and creating green corridors, maintaining economic activity based on industry, with its partial transformation, maintaining the existing system of spaces and structures and their partial redevelopment. Results. The potential of sustainable development of riparian areas in the context of the formation of recreational space in its structure as a result of renovation is revealed. Methods of structural and planning transformations within the water area have been developed. A model of structural transformation of the river space within the city is being built, on the basis of which the identified principles of rehabilitation of the territory are being tested. The significance of the obtained results lies in the development of new approaches to the formation of a holistic recreational river structure; in the formulation of the basic principles underlying the structural and planning transformations and the construction of a model of urban renovation of the riparian zone. The study used grapho-analytical methods, as well as the study and analysis of foreign and domestic experience in the renovation and revitalization of riverside industrial areas. The study analyzed the master plan of the city, identified functional areas within the river space. Conclusion. The expediency of rehabilitation of the territory, introduction of new, actual functions determines the economic, social, cultural, psychological and aesthetic development of the city.

Abstract. Formulation of the problem. One of the main tasks of production is reliable and trouble-free operation of equipment. In the oxygen-envelope process, when cast iron is purged, a large amount of carbon monoxide CO is emitted in the converter, which has a high temperature of more than 1 700 °С of the outgoing gases. The envelope gases in the waste heat boiler are cooled. Converter gas output is characterized by cyclic unevenness In this case, uneven heating of the walls of the boiler pipes occurs. By circulation pumps, chemically purified water is supplied for forced cooling of the boiler walls. When raising the outgoing gases, the cooling water is converted to pars by its subsequent supply to the consumer. The study is dedicated to solving the scientific and applied problem for the reasons for the formation of defects and the identification of cracks in the pipes of the recovery boiler.The purpose of the work. To investigate the causes of the development of transverse cracks in the pipelines of the recovery boiler by various methods of non-destructive testing, to use the methods of scanning microscopy to analyze the microstructure, mechanical tests, and the magnetic properties of structural carbon steel. Conclusions. One of the main reasons for the appearance of massive cracks in the pipes of cylindrical caissons is thermal fatigue caused by high thermal loads. Transverse cracks have the character of thermal fatigue failure, which is confirmed by changes in the ferrite-pearlite structure of the metal, resulting from uneven local cooling of the walls of the caisson. The reasons for the violation of the water circulation in the boiler are the pressure drop in the boiler and a sharp discharge, the load is the release of water from the boiler.

Published: August 2021

Problem statement. The most expensive and vulnerable part of the city's engineering infrastructure are pipeline systems that divert wastewater from the settlement. The state of the environment, the efficient operation of the city's enterprises, and the comfort of the citizens living directly depend on their uninterrupted operation and the level of reliability. Thus, the primary task of utilities is to ensure the reliable performance of sewer networks. When repairing and restoring large-diameter sewer pipelines that transport wastewater by gravity, the actual task is the choice of materials that will improve the reliability and service life of drainage systems. At present, the requirements for composites have increased, especially in terms of their heat and chemical resistance, resistance to the action of microorganisms, groundwater and wastewater. One of the most effective options that meets the listed criteria is the use of materials based on basalt. The purpose of the article is to analyze the use of basalt in the repair and restoration of water supply and sewerage networks. Results. The article analyzes the mineral resource base of rocks as a one-component raw material for the manufacture of basalt fiber materials and composites based on them. The importance of the organization of production of basalt fiber materials and the prospects of their use to solve the economic problems of Ukraine: construction, utilities. The analysis of the properties of basalt continuous fibers in comparison with glass fibers of type E and S, carbon and aramid fibers is carried out. It is determined that basalt fiber materials, composites and products based on them are promising for use in the repair and restoration of water supply and sewerage networks.

Sobre la traducción de María Luisa Acuña del Protágoras de Platón
Authors: Coria Marcela
Published: August 2021

En 1974, la Prof. María Luisa Acuña (1931-2020) realizó la primera versión española hecha por una argentina del Protágoras de Platón, publicada por la Facultad de Humanidades de la Universidad Nacional del Nordeste (UNNE). La Prof. Acuña es autora no solamente de la traducción sino también de las notas al texto español y al texto griego. La obra, que constituye un verdadero aporte a los estudios clásicos en Argentina y, por extensión, a todo el ámbito de los países de lengua española, tiene sobrados méritos, lo cual se evidencia, por ejemplo, en el ritmo ágil de las primeras escenas del prólogo (que tiene un marcado estilo coloquial, casi divertido por momentos), en las elecciones léxicas de la traductora, en su profundo conocimiento del vocabulario técnico y del pensamiento de Platón y en la erudición de las notas. El objetivo de este ensayo es señalar algunos de esos méritos y transmitir, en general, mi propia experiencia de lectura de esta magnífica versión del Protágoras.

Plantas que inspiran: ensayo de aplicación de categorías posthumanistas a la arqueobotánica del este de Norpatagonia (Argentina)
Authors: Saghessi Daniela
Published: August 2021

La abundancia de referencias etnohistóricas sobre el uso de plantas por parte de los grupos cazadores-recolectores del nordeste patagónico durante los siglos XVIII y XIX contrasta con el escaso abordaje arqueológico que recibió el tema en las investigaciones del siglo pasado. En los últimos años, este panorama ha comenzado a cambiar con el inicio de investigaciones regionales sistemáticas que incorporan nuevas vías analíticas, como el estudio de microrrestos vegetales, a la arqueología de esta región. En paralelo, desde fines del siglo XX, se está produciendo una apertura teórica en la disciplina, cuyos exponentes actuales más representativos son las corrientes conocidas como “Nuevo materialismo” y “Posthumanismo”. El presente ensayo tiene como objetivo proponer casos de aplicación para algunas categorías de corrientes teóricas contemporáneas en arqueología (e.g. teoría ontológica, teoría de los ensambles y teoría de las affordances), a partir de la información disponible sobre el uso de las plantas por los grupos cazadores-recolectores que habitaron el este de Norpatagonia, y en particular el valle del río Negro, durante el Holoceno tardío.
“No teníamos idea cómo era ir a un ministerio a abrir gestiones” Apropiación de saberes cotidianos de la militancia territorial en una organización social de la ciudad de Córdoba (Argentina)
Authors: Caisso Lucía
Published: August 2021

Este artículo presenta un análisis sobre la dimensión educativa de las prácticas de militancia de dos sujetos que se ha realizado en el marco de una investigación antropológica más amplia sobre experiencias educativas en movimientos sociales. Desde una perspectiva teórica que privilegia el análisis de la vida cotidiana, se reconstruyen saberes cotidianos que estos sujetos se han ido apropiando a lo largo de sus trayectorias militantes en la ciudad de Córdoba. A partir de la indagación en sus relatos de vida y de la observación etnográfica de sus rutinas cotidianas se reconstruyen distintas destrezas y formas de saber-hacer que son requeridos para la militancia en función de escenarios sociales y políticos variables. Este análisis permite evidenciar la apropiación de saberes cotidianos que se despliega a partir de la experiencia de participación en organizaciones y movimientos sociales, apropiación que se encuentra atravesada por contextos sociales y políticos más amplios que configuran la cotidianeidad social.

Denton’s Temporal Disaggregation Methods with the Application of Bangladesh’s Annual Gross Domestic Product for Quarterly Benchmarking and Forecasting
Authors: Islam Mohammad Rafiqul
Published: August 2021

Different
methods of temporal disaggregation are discussed in detail; mainly the methods
developed by Denton in 1971 and other purely mathematical methods. First, the
original method developed by Denton and its solution are described by referencing
Denton’s original article. The Cholette–Dagum regression-based method (or Denton-Cholette
method) is also included to enrich the comparison. Bangladesh’s annual export figures
are then disaggregated into a quarterly series by Denton’s additive and
proportional (first and second difference) methods, and the Denton-Cholette
additive and proportional (first and second difference) methods by using R package “tempdisagg”. The quarterly
imports of capital goods and others (Iron, steel and other base metals; and capital
machinery) in Bangladesh are used as the indicator series for the fiscal years
FY2009 to FY2019. By comparing the estimated series with the real quarterly
exports series, with the aid of root mean squared errors, it is concluded that the
Denton-Cholette additive method (the first difference) performs better than the
Denton-Cholette’s proportional variants as well as Denton’s additive and
proportional variants.
Food Aid in the Form of Food for Education - A Critical Analysis between the Food for Schooling Programme and the School Feeding Programme in Maslow's and Dependency Theorist's Perspectives
Authors: Wangina Norris
Published: August 2021

According to Maslow’s Hierarchy of
Needs theory, food is considered a basic physiological need and higher-ordered
needs can only be achieved if the basic needs are met. In the education context,
for learners to concentrate on learning and for educational institutions to
achieve high-quality learning, learners’ physiological needs i.e. food and
water must be met before delivering teaching and learning activities. Therefore,
different countries introduced ‘Food for Education’ in a form of ‘School
Feeding Programme’ and ‘Food For schooling Programme’ to achieve quality
education and to redistribute food to poor families. While both programmes
might have advantages, this essay argues that a ‘School Feeding Programme’,
that practises ‘Onsite Feeding’ can achieve Sustainable Development Goal 4,
i.e. quality equitable life long learning for all learners. Conversely, a ‘Food
for School Programme’ can increase enrolment of both boys and girls, however, it
might fail to achieve quality learning and, furthermore, can develop a dependency
mentality. Moreover, food delivered as aid is often used to pursue donors’
interests so recipient countries should be monitored, to ensure such aid is carefully
directed to priority areas to achieve maximum benefit. Failure can result in
recipient countries facing unintended consequences. This essay concludes that the
School Feeding Programme should be used for achieving quality learning and to avoid
unintended consequences and break the cycle of poverty faced by the
underprivileged.
Support for same-sex marriage after the Pulse nightclub shooting: Evidence from a quasi-experiment
Authors: Thompson Jack
Published: August 2021

Multiple studies find that exposure to news about mass shootings does little to increase public support for gun control. But are mass shootings able to shape public support for other policy preferences? In this paper, I conduct an empirical test of the effect of quasi-random exposure to news about the Pulse nightclub shooting – a mass shooting that occurred at an LGBTQ nightclub in Orlando, FL in June 2016 - on public support for same-sex marriage. Leveraging data from Wave 55 of The American Panel Survey (TAPS), I find that quasi-random exposure to news about the shooting increased public support for same sex-marriage by 10 points. Subgroup analyses indicate that the largest increases in support for same-sex marriage were among moderates, liberals and White Americans, while minimal increases in support were detected among conservatives and Hispanic Americans. The findings indicate that mass shootings may shape public support for policies that are related to victim characteristics such as sexual and gender identity, even if they do not shape broader support for gun control.
Teaching in the Aftermath of a Pandemic: Must an Employer Provide an Accommodation for Commuting for a Disabled Employee?
Authors: Hunter Richard J. , Lozada Hector R. , Shannon John H.
Published: August 2021

Part I of the paper discusses the Americans with Disabilities Act or ADA, its requirements, and various protections for persons who suffer from a recognized disability which impacts their ability to work under certain circumstances and conditions. The context of this study is American higher education. Part II will discuss the obligation of an employer to offer a “reasonable accommodation” of the nature sought by an employee which would permit the employee to continue teaching while otherwise meeting all of the obligations imposed on faculty members under appropriate university policies. Specifically, the research question considered in Part II relates to whether “commuting” is a covered activity under the ADA which would trigger the responsibility of providing the employee with a reasonable accommodation, allowing an employee to teach in the employee’s preferred combination of online and hybrid modalities.
Adherence to NICE Guidelines on Colorectal Cancer Follow-Up: A Cross-Sectional Analysis
Authors: Jeyabaladevan Priyancaa , Varatharajah324 Abhinaya
Published: August 2021

Purpose: Our aims were to determine adherence to National Institute of Clinical Excellence (NICE) guidelines on colorectal cancer (CRC) surveillance and to evaluate local practice patterns determine how it can be further improved. Patients and methods: Patients with colorectal cancer resection between January 1, 2017 and December 31, 2017 were identified, and their records retrospectively reviewed. Results: A total of 18 patients were eligible. Surveillance patterns, including blood tests and colonoscopies, were inconsistent with NICE recommendations in a significant proportion of patients. Follow up appointments and CT imaging occurred more frequently in line with the guidelines. For recurrences detected by surveillance, 66.6% were resectable whereas 0% of those detected by symptoms were resectable. Conclusions: The results prove that a moderately intensive follow-up strategy can positively identify resectable recurrence thus increasing overall survival. Our data highlights the need for local improvement to adherence to NICE guidelines regarding CRC follow-up. We have created a pro forma which is attached to the patient’s clinical notes. It will aid clinicians in reminding them when appropriates tests should be completed. A re-audit will be completed in December 2020 which will include looking at the effectiveness of the new pro forma.

The aim of this study is to obtain information about students' definitions, mistakes, misconceptions, and van Hiele geometry thinking levels by using the definitions of 4th grade students for geometric shapes of rectangle, square, isosceles triangle, equilateral triangle, and scalene triangle. The study was carried out with 156 primary school 4th grade students. In the study, the case design, one of the qualitative methods, was used. Students were asked to describe geometric shapes. It was observed that most of the 4th grade students participating in the study were in the visualization stage of van Hiele. There are very few definitions of the hierarchical structure in the study. Most correct definitions are in the partitional form. In the study, misconceptions were detected in some of the students.
A guide to visualizing trajectories of change with confidence bands and raw data
Authors: Howard Andrea
Published: August 2021

This tutorial is aimed at researchers working with repeated measures or longitudinal data who are interested in enhancing their visualizations of model-implied mean-level trajectories plotted over time with confidence bands and raw data. The intended audience is researchers who are already modeling their experimental, observational, or other repeated measures data over time using random effects regression or latent curve modeling, but who lack a comprehensive guide to visualize trajectories over time. This tutorial uses an example plotting trajectories from two groups, as seen in random effects models that include time × group interactions and latent curve models that regress the latent time slope factor onto a grouping variable. This tutorial is also geared toward researchers who are satisfied with their current software environment for modeling repeated measures data but who want to make graphics using R software. Prior knowledge of R is not assumed, and readers can follow along using data and other supporting materials available via OSF at https://osf.io/78bk5/. Readers should come away from this tutorial with the tools needed to begin visualizing mean trajectories over time from their own models and enhancing those plots with graphical estimates of uncertainty and raw data that adhere to transparent practices in research reporting.
What Do Turkish Experts Say about Sustainable Development Goals and Teaching about Achieving these Goals?
Authors: Kucuk Mehmet , Ekinci Semra Burkaz
Published: August 2021

The research aimed to investigate what Turkish experts say sustainable development goals and teaching about achieving these goals. The research has a qualitative design, and the analysis of the interviews consisting of ten questions was made by document and content analysis. Interviews were held with ten academicians, who are experts in their field and have included the topic of sustainable development in their studies. Interview questions consisted of two parts in terms of content, in the upper part only for scientific purposes and for information purposes in consideration of ethical rules, as well as demographic information and the main questions. The main questions are based on determining whether the curriculum is sufficient in terms of the education of sustainable development, as well as identifying students who have gained awareness about this issue and the behaviors that can be expected from students. The interviews lasted an average of twenty-five minutes. The data were analyzed by transcribing the sound recordings. After the analyzes were completed, the codes, categories, and themes related to the questions were determined. As a result, with this study, a needs analysis, which is the first stage of the sustainable development teaching material to be developed within the scope of a large project study, has been made. In line with the results, new acquisitions about sustainable development were developed.

Protective Effects of Reasons for Living Against Suicidal Ideation in Daily Life
Authors: Tsypes Aliona , Kaurin Aleksandra , Wright Aidan G.C. , Hallquist Michael , Dombrovski Alexandre
Published: August 2021

How do individuals resist suicidal urges in a crisis? Deterrents for suicide can be conceptualized as reasons for living (RFL), but our understanding of their protective effects is predominantly informed by cross-sectional research. We examined the protective effects of RFL on suicidal ideation (SI) in daily life in a high-risk sample. We also tested whether personality traits moderated the strength of the dynamic RFL-SI link. Adults with a borderline personality disorder diagnosis (N=153, n suicide attempters=105) completed a 21-day ambulatory assessment protocol. Daily endorsements of RFL were negatively linked to SI at the within-person but not the between-person level. Whereas suicide attempters endorsed RFL less frequently than non-attempters, the protective effect of RFL was undiminished in this group. Furthermore, RFL’s protective effect was particularly pronounced in those with higher average levels of suicidal ideation. While people high on openness and extraversion endorsed RFL more often, this increase was not protective against SI, indicating that RFL reflect heterogeneous underlying psychological processes, only some of which protect against SI.
Linking earthquake magnitude-frequency statistics and stress in visco-frictional fault zone models
Authors: Beall Adam , van den Ende Martijn , Ampuero Jean Paul , Fagereng Ake
Published: August 2021

The ability to estimate the likelihood of given earthquake magnitudes is critical for seismic hazard assessment. Earthquake magnitude-recurrence statistics are empirically linked to stress, yet which fault-zone processes explain this link remains debated. We use numerical models to reproduce the interplay between viscous creep and frictional sliding of a fault-zone, for which inter-seismic locking becomes linked to stress. The models reproduce the empirical stress-dependent earthquake magnitude distribution observed in nature. Stress is related to the likelihood a fault section is near frictional failure, influencing likely rupture lengths. An analytical model is derived of a fault consisting of identical patches, each with a probability of inter-seismic locking. It reproduces a similar magnitude-recurrence relationship, which may therefore be caused by probabilistic clustering of locked fault patches. Contrasts in earthquake statistics between regions could therefore be explained by stress variation, which has future potential to further constrain statistical models of regional seismicity.
Self, dignity and free will: Towards a critical psychology of neuroscience-law movement
Authors: Sinha Chetan
Published: August 2021

The movements to understand the self, free will, and choice have gained new meaning through the rise of brain studies. Further explorations about intentions, reasons, and deception have re-examined the meaning of self and agency. However, a triangulated picture with other scientific evidence may make the picture clear. The aim will be to ponder free will, law and brain determinism. Since brain studies are emerging as an essential interdisciplinary domain engaging with law and psychology, it may be interesting for readers to have some knowledge about the common-sense understanding of brain functioning and how it connects to the philosophical problems of solipsism and knowledge of other minds, freedom of actions, purpose and the will. The conceptual errors and further debates speculated by legal theorists and social scientists in integrating law and neuroscience, which has empirical, practical and ethical implications, will be highlighted.
Christian No More: Christian Americans are Threatened by Their Impending Minority Status
Authors: Al-Kire Rosemary Lyn , Pasek Michael H. , Tsang Jo-Ann , Rowatt Wade C.
Published: August 2021

Christian Americans are on track to become a minority of the U.S. population by midcentury. Research on racial demographic shifts shows majority-group members experience status threat when reminded of similar demographic changes. Public debate about religious freedom and the role of Christianity in America suggest that fast-changing religious demographics similarly elicit threat, and trigger defensive political stances, among Christian Americans. In two preregistered experiments (total N = 766 Christian Americans), reminders of religious demographic shifts evoked perceived threat to religious rights and freedoms, which in turn accounted for increases in Christian nationalism, conservative political ideology, and support for Donald Trump in the 2020 presidential election. Results illustrate how America’s fast-changing religious landscape can evoke threat for Christians and how this threat may influence political reasoning.
What costs should we expect from the EU’s AI Act?
Authors: Haataja Meeri , Bryson Joanna J.
Published: August 2021

This short analysis aims to provide an overview of the anticipated costs caused by the EU’s proposed AI regulation, the AI Act (AIA), to impacted organisations: both providers and deployers of systems containing AI. We focus our analysis at an enterprise level, leaving the macroeconomic discussion for later. While the bulk of the paper explains and critiques the European Commission’s (EC) own analysis we also comment on the critiques raised recently by a high-profile US lobbyist, the Center for Data Innovation, in their report “How Much Will the Artificial Intelligence Act Cost Europe?” We conclude by highlighting topics that would benefit from further elaboration by the EC. As a reminder, the AIA is presently draft legislation, written by the European Commission. While something quite similar can be expected to be implemented ultimately by the European Union’s member states, the legislation is presently in a period of revision by the elected members of the European Parliament, in cooperation and consultation with EU national governments. While the heart of the EU’s regulatory proposal is in safeguarding people against AI risks to health, safety and fundamental rights, we acknowledge the importance of rooting policies in a sound analysis of financial impacts. It is only that way that requirements get translated into solid action plans and finally into actions. The process of such pragmatic analysis, can also get at assumptions and failures of coherence that might otherwise be overlooked. We also, separately, have a longer commentary on the act itself, see “Reflections on the EU’s AI Act and how we could make it even better.”Our analysis of the AIA costs is based on the two main sources: the EC’s Impact Assessment of the AIA, and the EC’s study to support an impact assessment of regulatory requirements for artificial intelligence in Europe. It is noteworthy that while the EC uses the support study as its main source for financial impact assessment, in some contexts, they specifically choose to interpret the figures differently, e.g. by excluding some categories of costs from the impact assessment. For this, it is critical to treat the EC’s impact assessment and the support study as two separate sources. This was one of a number of things apparently missed by the Center for Data Innovation in their report.

Análisis de los trastornos psicológicos en algunos personajes de «El Nazareno» y «La fiesta de San Simón Garabatillo»
Authors: Villanueva Anderson Nicolás Gustavo
Published: August 2021

Este artículo tiene como finalidad analizar algunos personajes de «El Nazareno» y «La fiesta de San Simón Garabatillo» desde una mirada psicológica, ya que en estas tradiciones los personajes de Ricardo Palma presentan diversas actitudes o comportamientos que revelan indicios de posibles trastornos psicológicos vistos recurrentemente en la actualidad. Por otro lado, se busca entender cómo el tradicionista, a través de su escritura, pudo plasmar casi a la perfección características de dichos trastornos, pues partimos de la hipótesis de que el Bibliotecario Mendigo tenía un bajo conocimiento de estos, debido a la inexistencia de la ciencia de la psicología en su época.
Ricardo Palma y la lengua inglesa
Authors: Zegarra del Castillo Claudia Isabel
Published: August 2021

Siguiendo el espíritu de reflexión del patriarca de las letras, este ensayo tiene como objetivo dar a conocer ciertos aspectos de la vida de Ricardo Palma como traductor y conocedor de la obra de los literatos más representativos del Romanticismo europeo y americano. Diversos autores y numerosas fuentes dan cuenta de un primer contacto de Palma con escritores destacados de habla inglesa, que se cree impelieron al escritor a dedicar muchas horas robadas al descanso para traducir, producir sus propios versos y perfeccionar el estilo literario con el que consagraría la gran evolución intelectual de sus obras. Es menester del traductor explorar la biografía de todo escritor para desvelar los mensajes ocultos entre su pluma y sus páginas, ya que conocer la estrecha relación que mantuvo Palma a lo largo de los años con la cultura inglesa podría acercarnos al verdadero espíritu de su pasión por las letras.

A Critical Appraisal of a Decade of Left-Main Revascularization Meta-Analyses
Authors: Antonides Christiaan
Published: August 2021

Background: Determining the optimal revascularization strategy for patients with left main coronary artery disease (LMCAD) is a compelling topic. After the publication of two new trials, numerous meta-analyses on percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) versus coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) appeared in the literature. This study set out to review the extent of published meta-analyses on PCI versus CABG in LMCAD, and stipulates the need for “quality over quantity”. Methods: A systematic search in Embase, Medline Ovid and Cochrane databases was performed to identify meta-analyses on PCI versus CABG in LMCAD. Meta-analyses that reported associations between revascularization and clinical outcomes were included. Study outcomes were reported according to descriptive statistics, without pooling study outcomes. Results: Fifty-one meta-analyses were included. Of those, 33 became available after EXCEL and NOBLE trial publication. The composite of major adverse cardiac (and cerebrovascular) events were reported in 41, and 49 reported all-cause mortality. Results varied among meta-analyses, depending on (i) randomized versus observational data, or a combination of both, (ii) methodology and effect-measures to report treatment-differences, (iii) varying sample sizes, and (iv) the year of publication. Conclusions: The number of meta-analyses on PCI versus CABG in patients with LMCAD, is disproportionate and urges the need for quality over quantity. To ensure future high-quality publications, we call on all authors, editors and reviewers to appraise the evidence already available and join forces to conduct individual patient data pooled analyses instead.
Scintigraphy after Various Methods of Myocardial Revascularization
Authors: Shevchenko Yury
Published: August 2021

Abstract. This article presents a comprehensive assessment of the perfusion-functional state of the LV myocardium after direct and indirect revascularization methods at various times after surgery to evaluate the complex relationship between myocardial viability and the method of revascularization. The research shows a significant advantage to using the YurLeon method of inducing extracardial revascularization of the myocardium in patients with diffuse coronary lesions. Aim. Comparative dynamic of scintigraphic indicators with various methods of revascularization. Materials and Methods.The study included 214 patients who underwent myocardial revascularization in various ways. Gated-SPECT was performed before the operation, as well as 1 month, 6 months, 1 year, and 2 or more years after the operation. Results.The groups of patients after CABG and CABG+YurLeon had differences in SRS indicators one year after surgery: 6.58±7.37 (after CABG) and 1.01±1.49 (CABG+YurLeon)(p<0.05).The most significant changes in systolic thickening (WT) occurred in segments with an accumulation of 26-40%: 1.78±1.84 (CABG), 0.51±0.85 (CABG+YurLeon), 2.6±1.19(PCI); and in segments 41-50%: 1.23±1.10 (CABG), 0.14±0.39 (CABG+YurLeon), 2.1±0.8 (PCI) (p<0.05).In the long-term period after revascularization, the total percentage of LV myocardial segments with "functional-perfusion mismatch" stood at: 11.08±11.69% of segments (CABG), 1.26±2.7% (CABG+YurLeon), 18.44±8.70% (PCI) (p<0.05). Conclusion. Comprehensive diagnostics of patients before surgery, including gated-SPECT, allow medical professionals to more effectively choose the method of revascularization and predict the nearest and separated results. Coronary bypass surgery together with the YurLeon technique of indirect myocardial revascularization in patients with severe diffuse lesions of the coronary artery shows more effective results than other methods of surgically treating IHD.

Objective: N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) levels are extremely useful in detecting heart failure (HF). However, the effects of renal inadequacy on NT-proBNP levels in patients presenting with or without HF remains less clear. We sought to examine the correlation of NT-proBNP levels in all CKD patients and cut-off values of NT pro-BNP level for the diagnosis of HF in stable CKD patients as well as CKD patients who are on haemodialysis (HD). Material and Methods: The study comprises 141 CKD patients of both sexes who presented with or without dyspnea to casualty of Lilavati Hospital, Mumbai, India, were prospectively enrolled, and blood samples collected to estimate NT-proBNP level. Results: NT-proBNP cut-off level of 1850 pg/mL for stable CKD patients not on dialysis has a sensitivity of 95% and specificity of 80 %. NT-proBNP cut-off level of 8000pg/ml for CKD patients on HD has a sensitivity of 87 % and specificity of 79%. NT-proBNP cut-off level of 4200 pg/mL for all CKD patients has a sensitivity of 85% and specificity of 81%, for diagnosis of HF. Conclusion: The clinical use of NT-proBNP is a valuable tool for the evaluation of dyspneic patients with suspected HF, irrespective of renal function. We recommend the above NT-proBNP cut-off levels for diagnosing HF patients in the presence of impaired renal function. Evaluation of the correlation between NT-proBNP levels in CKD is important to identify and to design treatment modalities in order to reduce CVD .Therefore, NT-proBNP measurement can be a valuable tool for diagnosis and evaluation of dyspneic patients for early initiation of HF treatment.
