Teologia wobec kryzysu kościoła – wybrane kierunki reinterpretacji
Authors: Wąsek Damian
Published: November 2021

Obserwując aktualną sytuację Kościoła w Polsce i wielu innych krajach, można zauważyć, że zmaga się on z poważnym kryzysem. Wśród przyczyn tego kryzysu są nie tylko zewnętrzne prądy kulturowe i społeczne, ale słaba wrażliwość teologii i praktyki duszpasterskiej na znaki czasu oraz opór wobec wprowadzania nowych interpretacji prawd wiary. Celem artykułu jest nakreślenie mapy rozwiązań, zarysowanie pomysłów, które mogłyby być uwzględnione jako kontekst teologiczny działań naprawczych w obliczu kryzysu nie tylko rodzimego Kościoła, ale podejścia do kwestii wiary w wymiarze przekraczającym problemy lokalne. Problem zawiera się w pytaniu: W jakich kierunkach teolog może dziś myśleć o takich zmianach w Kościele, które nie tylko ograniczą straty wśród wiernych, ale otworzą perspektywę nowych możliwości ewangelizacyjnych? Odpowiedzi poszukiwane są na następujących płaszczyznach: hierarchia prawd, antropocentryzm w przepowiadaniu, inwestycja w noetyczną warstwę religijności oraz otwartość teologii na interdyscyplinarność.
O que a obra de Paulo Freire nos convida a pensar?
Authors: Siqueira Borges Maria Elisa
Published: November 2021

Este artigo tem por objetivo dar visibilidade à epistemologia criada por Paulo Freire. Para além de seu método de alfabetização de adultos, Freire criou uma filosofia do conhecimento que, após muitos anos, continua a gerar novas pesquisas em vários campos do conhecimento, sempre convidando à reinvenção. As considerações sobre a atividade de pesquisa em ciências sociais de Becker justificam essas reinvenções. Como exemplo, o artigo apresenta a Ergologia, uma abordagem pluridisciplinar criada pelo filósofo francês Yves Schwartz como um projeto de conhecer e, principalmente, de intervir sobre as situações de trabalho para transformá-las. Uma das inspirações de Schwartz ao criar a Ergologia foi a epistemologia de Paulo Freire.
Paulo Freire: educador popular revolucionário hoje
Authors: Pereira Júnior Tovar Nelson
Published: November 2021

No espírito das justas homenagens prestadas ao educador Paulo Freire, em virtude do centésimo aniversário de seu nascimento, o ensaio busca enfatizar certas peculiaridades de seu pensamento educacional popular revolucionário, ao mesmo tempo em que se esforça por produzir uma conexão de tal pensamento com os desafios colocados pelo atual momento histórico brasileiro. Para tanto, se serve, sobretudo, dos registros de uma experiência em processo de que se constitui a obra Cartas a Guiné-Bissau (1977). No itinerário reflexivo, tenta-se evidenciar: o caráter romântico-revolucionário do pensamento freireano; o papel teórico-metodológico da articulação entre prática social e educação e, derivada disto, uma sofisticada concepção educacional que se faz revolucionária, justo por aprofundar-se na realidade concreta, entendida como processo portador de tendências, “inéditos-viáveis”, a serem desenvolvidas no sentido da superação da sociedade dividida em classes. Tais conclusões de índole teórica, no entanto, não são encaradas no ensaio como encerradas em si mesmas, mas extraem seu sentido, e mesmo coerência em relação à obra tematizada, por poderem funcionar como ato rememorativo, no qual as lutas do passado podem se conectar explosivamente com as lutas do presente.

PERLINDUNGAN HUKUM BAGI PEMBELI TANAH YANG KEHILANGAN HAK AKIBAT JUAL BELI ATAS TANAH YANG PERNAH MENJADI OBJEK SENGKETA PENGADILAN TATA USAHA NEGARA [LEGAL PROTECTION FOR LAND BUYERS WHO LOSE RIGHTS AS A RESULT OF THE SALE AND PURCHASE OF LAND THAT WAS ONCE AN OBJECT OF A DISPUTE IN THE STATE ADMINISTRATIVE COURT]
Authors: Gunawan Novia , Tjempaka Tjempaka
Published: November 2021

The land was the state's authority to govern the giving and use of land to the people so that the land would be used for the greatest measure of civic prosperity requiring a sure law and protection of the law among peoples. While wisdom regarding land civilty governed by the state exists in reality often does not establish order and certainty of law. For example the case example on ruling Supreme Court number 658 PK/Pdt/2017 in the two hedges of the same land as the different rights, Dirman was using the building rights and John as his property which turned John's property into an object of dispute at the State Enterprises Court. How can legal protection be provided for land buyers who lost their rights through land sale that was once an object of national governance court dispute at the State Enterprises Court? How would the deed of ownership of the deed of the land deed be formed between bacce and Gunadi and Gunadi and John? The authors examine the problem using normative legal methods and use interviews as backup data. Studies reveal that legal protection is obtained if land buyers can prove their rights in court and Land deed deed official only responsible for the purchase papers made between Gunadi and John because they were consciously created that the land was in dispute over the state governance court.

BAHASA INDONESIA ABSTRACT:

Tanah merupakan kewenangan Negara untuk mengatur pemberian dan penggunaan tanah kepada masyarakat agar tanah dimanfaatkan bagi pencapaian sebesar-besar kemakmuran rakyat dengan tuntutan kepastian hukum serta perlindungan hukum antar masyarakat. Meskipun kebijaksanaan mengenai kemanfaatan tanah yang diatur oleh negara ada tetap saja dalam realita sering tidak terjadinya ketertiban dan kepastian hukum. Seperti contoh kasus pada Putusan Mahkamah Agung Nomor 658 PK/Pdt/2017 yaitu terbitnya dua sertipikat atas tanah yang sama dengan hak yang berbeda, Dirman Pardosi dengan Hak Guna Bangunan dan John dengan Hak Miliknya yang ternyata tanah milik John sedang menjadi objek sengketa di PTUN. Bagaimana bentuk perlindungan hukum bagi pembeli tanah yang kehilangan hak akibat jual beli atas tanah yang pernah menjadi objek sengketa PTUN? Bagaimana bentuk tanggung jawab PPAT terhadap akta jual beli yang dibuat antara Bacce dengan Gunadi dan Gunadi dengan John Tandiari? Penulis meneliti masalah tersebut dengan menggunakan metode hukum normatif dan menggunakan wawancara sebagai data penunjang. Hasil penelitian mengungkapkan bahwa perlindungan hukum akan didapatkan jika pembeli tanah dapat membuktikan hak mereka di Pengadilan dan PPAT bertanggung jawab hanya pada akta jual beli yang dibuat antara Gunadi dan John karena dibuat secara sadar bahwa tanah sedang dalam sengketa PTUN.

Perlindungan hukum bagi anggota Direksi yang diberhentikan tidak sesuai dengan ketentuan UUPT adalah mengajukan gugatan ke Pengadilan Negeri.
ANOPHELES MICROBIOTA IN MALARIA VECTOR AND THE EFFECT ON PARASITE TRANSMISSION
Authors: Senjarini Kartika , Agustin Dita Paramytha , Erlambang Berlian Permata Dewi
Published: November 2021

Malaria is a vector-transmitted disease with a high number of cases. Plasmodium parasites are transmitted from the body of the Anopheles mosquito to the host through several mosquito organs, including the salivary glands and the midgut. The salivary glands and the midgut, apart from being a breeding ground for parasites, are known from several studies that various types of microbiota inhabit these two organs. The group of bacteria is the most widely known to be associated with Anopheles mosquitoes. The bacteria found were dominated by Gram-negative bacteria, with Pseudomonas being the most common, followed by Aeromonas, Asaia, Comamonas, Elizabethkingia, Enterobacter, Klebsiella, Pantoea, and Serratia. The group of Gram-positive bacteria was represented by the genera Bacillus, Streptococcus, Lactobacillus, and Staphylococcus. Each species of Anopheles has a different composition of associated bacteria. Anopheles-associated bacteria currently receive much attention because of their role in fighting Plasmodium infection. The ability of malaria vector-associated bacteria to inhibit and fight Plasmodium infection is divided into three mechanisms. Bacteria can triger an immune response through the Immune-deficiency (IMD) pathway, which causes active anti-Plasmodium and the production of antimicrobial peptides, increasing ROS synthesis and microbiota, which trigger hemocyte differentiation to protect against Plasmodium. This function related to inhibiting Plasmodium development needs further research so that later it can become an option for vector-based malaria control without damaging the sustainability of the environment.

Kolory tonacji, nie zawsze pięciolinie. Polska szkoła ilustracji a druki muzyczne dla dzieci i młodzieży
Authors: Wincencjusz-Patyna Anita
Published: November 2021

Intensywny ruch wydawniczy w Polsce w okresie PRL zauważalnie zaznaczył się także w obszarze druków muzycznych. Ofertę skierowaną do początkujących i rozwijających się instrumentalistów i wokalistów przygotowywało nie tylko liczące już ponad 70 lat Polskie Wydawnictwo Muzyczne z Krakowa, lecz także niespecjalizujące się w tej dziedzinie, a przodujące w propozycjach dla młodego czytelnika instytucje stołeczne: Nasza Księgarnia oraz Biuro Wydawnicze „Ruch”. Te dwa ostatnie wydawnictwa publikowały książki, które najczęściej zawierały także prócz zapisu nutowego teksty „okołomuzyczne”, przybliżające wiadomości o kulturze, obyczajach i muzyce ludowej z konkretnych regionów Polski. O wysoki poziom artystyczny tych publikacji dbali uznani polscy graficy, z których na szczególną uwagę zasługują Jerzy Skarżyński oraz Zofia i Andrzej Darowscy — związani z ośrodkiem krakowskim oraz tuzy polskiej szkoły ilustracji: Bohdan Butenko, Józef Wilkoń i Zbigniew Rych-licki — współpracujący ze stołecznymi instytucjami: Naszą Księgarnią i Biurem Wydawniczym „Ruch”. Omówione w artykule realizacje cechowało mistrzostwo rzemiosła, a także różnorodność koncepcji i strategii artystycznych — od graficznej syntezy, przez malarskie impresje, po twórcze czerpanie z bogactwa rodzimego folkloru. W artykule omówiono między innymi serię „Biblioteka Violinka” oraz cykl książek autorstwa Jadwigi Gorzechowskiej i Marii Kaczurbiny w opracowaniu graficznym Zbigniewa Rychlickiego.
Oprawa graficzna piosenek popularnych Władysława Szpilmana jako świadectwo praktyk artystyczno-wydawniczych i przemian w projektowaniu okładek
Authors: Staśko-Mazur Kamila

Celem artykułu jest przedstawienie oprawy graficznej druków piosenek popularnych Władysława Szpilmana jako źródeł ukazujących różne formy zdobnictwa i graficzne trendy oraz przemiany w dziedzinie projektowania okładek nut muzyki popularnej.
Prezentacja wybranych druków z rozległego dorobku piosenkarskiego artysty umożliwia przypomnienie przedwojennych wydawnictw (Nowa Scena, Wydawnictwo Muzyczne Arcta, Wydawnictwo Eugeniusza Kuthana, Ton) i zobrazowanie problemu zaniku prywatnych i spółdzielczych oficyn na rynku wydawniczym (powojenne wyparcie wydawnictw niepaństwowych). Ukazuje charakterystyczne formy zdobienia okładek piosenek artysty w kolejnych okresach (formy reklamujące, bordiurowo-winietowe, literniczo-typograficzne, „plakatowe”) i zawiłości procesów związanych z ideologizującą rolą sztuki (na przykład różne sposoby ilustrowania pieśni okresu socrealistycznego dla nabywcy indywidualnego i dla zespołów czy skromne i jednorodne druki wydawnictwa Czytelnik).
Po wojnie sam kompozytor sekunduje pomysłowi stworzenia wydawnictwa typu gazetowego (nadążającego z drukiem nut przebojów aktualnych w eterze), tymczasem jego piosenki zdobiły ciekawe okładki projektowane przez znamienitych grafików i rysowników zatrudnianych między innymi przez Polskie Wydawnictwo Muzyczne (W. Skulicz, J. Bruchnalski, A. Darowski, A. Kowalski, K. Wojtanowicz, J. Kurkiewicz). Zestawienie druków pozwoliło wyłonić praktyki wydawnicze o znamionach tendencji, jak tworzenie serii wydawniczej lub zbioru o cechach kolekcjonerskich, dostrzec przemiany estetyczne u różnych wydawców i w kolejnych okresach (w sposobie ilustrowania nut przeznaczonych dla dzieci i młodzieży), migrację nowoczesnych motywów graficznych obecnych w okładkach nut innych gatunków muzycznych (muzyka sonorystyczna) do druków z muzyką popularną.

Published: November 2021

Background: To remain relevant in the customer-oriented market, hospitals must pay attention to the quality of services and meet customers' expectations from admission to discharge stage. For an outpatient customer, pharmacy is the last unit visited before discharge. It is likely to influence patient satisfaction and reflect the quality of hospital's service. However, at certain hospitals, the waiting time is long. Resources need to be deployed strategically to reduce queue time. Objective: This research aims to arrange the number of staff (pharmacists and workers) in each station in the pharmacy outpatient service to minimise the queue time.Methods: A discrete simulation method is used to observe the waiting time spent at the pharmacy. The simulation run is valid and effective to test the scenario. Results: It is recommended to add more personnel for the non-compounding medicine and packaging to reduce the waiting time by 22.41%Conclusion: By adding personnel to non-compounding and packaging stations, the system performance could be improved. Cost-effectiveness analysis should be done to corroborate the finding. Keywords: Discrete Event Simulation, Hospital, Outpatient Service, Pharmacy Unit, System AnalysisBackground: To remain relevant in the customer-oriented market, hospitals must pay attention to the quality of services and meet customers' expectations from admission to discharge stage.

CARTA DE SUSCETIBILIDADE A EROSÃO DO MUNICÍPIO DE ALIANÇA – PE A PARTIR DE ANÁLISE MULTICRITÉRIO
Authors: Listo Fabrizio De Luiz Rosito , Xavier Joaquim Pedro de Santana
Published: November 2021

A erosão, a depender de sua intensidade, pode gerar situações negativas à paisagem tais como perdas agrícolas, materiais e de vidas humanas. Neste sentido, a realização de estudos que subsidiem o controle e a prevenção de processos erosivos é extremamente relevante. Dessa forma, o objetivo deste trabalho é avaliar a suscetibilidade a processos erosivos lineares no município de Aliança, Zona da Mata Norte de Pernambuco, atualmente sujeito a erosão em função de práticas agrícolas constantes. Para cumprir este objetivo, foram gerados dois cenários de suscetibilidade a partir da análise multicritério por meio da combinação de fatores condicionantes. Embora com distribuições percentuais distintas, ambos os cenários apresentaram predominância de classes de erosão fortes, confirmando a influência de fatores condicionantes morfológicos, pedológicos, de usos da terra, entre outros, na potencialização de feições erosivas. EROSION SUSCEPTIBILITY MAP OF ALIANÇA MUNICIPALITY (PERNAMBUCO STATE, BRAZIL) FROM MULTICRITERIA ANALYSISABSTRACTErosion, depending on its intensity, can generate negative responses to the landscape such as agricultural, material and human losses. Thus, the studies that support the control and prevention of erosive processes are extremely relevant. Therefore, the aim of this work is to evaluate the susceptibility to linear erosion processes in the Aliança municipality, northern coastal zone of Pernambuco State, which is currently subject to active erosion due to continued agricultural practices. In order to accomplish this aim, two susceptibility scenarios were generated based on multicriteria analysis, through the identification of a combination of conditioning factors. In spite of showing different percentage distributions, both scenarios presented a predominance of strong erosion classes, thus confirming the influence of morphological, pedological and land use factors, among others, upon the intensification of erosive features.Keywords: Multi-criteria analysis; erosive processes; susceptibility map.
FORMAÇÃO E DIAGÊNESE DE ARENITOS DE PRAIA: Uma Revisão Conceitual

Published: November 2021

Os arenitos de praia, ou beachrocks, são sedimentos que sofreram um processo de litificação e são encontrados paralelamente à linha de costa na zona intermaré, apresentando uma forma alongada, estreita e cimentados por carbonato de cálcio. O processo de diagênese consiste na formação da rocha sedimentar propriamente dita a partir da compactação, dissolução, cimentação e recristalização. O estudo da formação e diagênese do arenito de praia são relevantes pois possibilita o entendimento de como as rochas sedimentares detríticas são geradas, além de reconhecer como a variação do nível do mar se comportou durante o Holoceno, permitindo a gênese destas feições que se constituem em relevantes elementos de resguardo das linhas de costas em ambientes majoritariamente tropicais. FORMATION AND DIAGENÈSE IN BEACHROCKS:A Conceptual Review ABSTRACTThe beach sandstones, or beachrocks, are sediments that underwent a lithification process and are found parallel to the coastline in the intertidal zone, presenting an elongated, narrow shape and cemented by calcium carbonate. The process of diagenesis consists on the formation of the sedimentary rock itself, following deposition, compaction, dissolution, cementation and recrystallization. The study of the formation and diagenesis of beach sandstone is relevant since it permits the understanding of how clastic sedimentary rocks are formed, besides with recognizing how sea level variation behaved during the Holocene, thus allowing the genesis of these features that constitute relevant elements of shelter along coastlines in most tropical environments. Keywords: Beachrocks, sedimentary rock, cementation.

Abstract: Social stress can affect the ability of the fish to respond to various stressors, such as pathogens or environmental variations. In this paper, the effects of social stress on gilt-head bream (Sparus aurata) were investigated. To study the effects of physiological stress, we evaluated biochemical and cellular parameters as cortisol, glucose, lactate, osmolarity and phagocytosis 24 hours after the establishment of social hierarchy. Social hierarchy was determined and characterised by behavioural observation (aggressive acts and feeding order) of the specimens (dominant “α”, subordinate “β” and “γ”). After the establishment of the social hierarchy, we observed that the levels of plasma cortisol and other biochemical stress markers (glucose and lactate) were higher in subordinate individuals than in dominant ones. In addition, the modulation of phagocytic activity of the peritoneal cavity cells (PEC) demonstrated that social stress appeared to affect the immune response. At last, principal component analysis clearly separated the subordinate fish groups from the dominant groups based on stress markers and phagocytic activity of the peritoneal exudates cells.
The Effect of Rainfall, Soil Type and Slope on the Processes and Mechanism of Rainfall-Induced Landslide
Authors: Liu Yan , Deng Zhiyuan , Wang Xiekang
Published: November 2021

Landslides are serious geological hazards that become a disaster worldwide, causing a large number of casualties and economic losses every year. There are many factors affecting landslide susceptibility, such as rainfall, soil and slope. Each of them has an important role in the process of slope losing stability. In this paper, the effects of rainfall intensity, rainfall pattern, slope gradient and soil type on landslide susceptibility are studied. In the process of rainfall-induced landslide, the relevant physical quantities of soil changes continuously. Their values and processes are closely related to the time of landslide occurrence. Hence, the variation of soil volumetric water content, matrix suction, pore water pressure and total stress throughout the rainfall are measured. As the results, soil type, slope gradient and rainfall intensity have a large influence on landslide susceptibility. The occurrence of landslides has a prerequisite that the slope is greater than or equal to 15°. The rainfall intensity needs to be not less than 80 mm/h. The difference of rainfall pattern also affects the landslide susceptibility. The rainfall pattern with rainfall intensity peak at the later stage is more likely to induce landslide. Coarser soils with gravels are prone to landslides when other conditions are the same. Steeper slopes, stronger rainfall, and coarser soils can all increase the amount of sediment yield.

Three-dimensional convolutional neural networks (3D CNN) as a type of artificial intelligence (AI) are powerful in image processing and recognition using deep learning to perform generative and descriptive tasks. The advantage of CNN compared to its predecessors is that it automatically detects the important features without any human supervision. 3D CNN are used to extract features in three dimensions where input is a 3D volume or a sequence of 2D pictures e.g., slices in a cone-beam computer tomography scan (CBCT). The main aim of this article was to bridge interdisciplinary cooperation between forensic medical experts and deep learning engineers. With emphasis activating clinical forensic experts in the field with possibly basic knowledge of advanced artificial intelligence techniques with interest in its implementation in their efforts to advance the forensic research further. This paper introduces a novel workflow of 3D CNN analysis of full-head CBCT scans. Authors explore and present 3D CNN method for forensic research design concept in five perspectives: (1) sex determination, (2) biological age estimation, (3) 3D cephalometric landmark annotation, (4) growth vectors prediction, (5) facial soft-tissue estimation from the skull and vice versa. In conclusion, 3D CNN application can be a watershed moment in forensic medicine, leading to unprecedented improvement of forensic analysis workflows based on 3D neural networks.

Published: November 2021

Purpose: To identify the impact of dealing with COVID-19 patients in clinical areas on nurses' professional self-concept and self-confidence. Background: Professional self-concept is considered a critical factor in the recruitment/retention process in nursing, nursing shortage, career satisfaction, and academic achievements. Professional self-confidence is also a crucial determinant in staff satisfaction, reducing turnover, and increasing work engagement. Design: Descriptive, comparative study. Methods: The study was conducted between February to May 2021 by utilizing a convenience sampling technique. A total of 170 nurses from two facilities were recruited from two COVID-19 and non-COVID-19 designated facilities. The level of professional self-concept and self-confidence was assessed by utilizing the Nurses' Self-Concept Instrument and Self-Confidence Scale. Results: The professional self-concept level among the exposed group to COVID-19 patients was lower than the comparison group, while the professional self-confidence level among the exposed group to COVID-19 patients was similar to the comparison group. On the other hand, the satisfied staff and those who received professional training in dealing with COVID-19 patients reported a higher level of professional self-concept. Conclusions: Dealing with COVID-19 patients has an impact on professional self-concept; the exposure group was lower than those who did not deal with COVID-19 patients, while the professional self-confidence level among the exposed group was similar to the comparison group. Getting professional training in dealing with COVID-19 patients and being satisfied at work were significant factors in improving the professional self-concept. Policymakers should create strategies that target the improvement of professional training in dealing with COVID-19 patients.

Aim. To study the relationship between the level of haptoglobin and the main indicators of microcirculation (MC) in patients with different phenotypes of chronic heart failure (CHF).

Materials and methods. Patients with different phenotypes of functional class II-IV chronic heart failure according to NYHA (n=80) underwent a general clinical examination, determination of the serum haptoglobin level by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, as well as an assessment of the MC state on the medial surface of the upper third of the leg by laser Doppler flowmetry (LDF).

Results. Patients with CHF included patients with preserved left ventricular ejection fraction (HFpEF; n=27, intermediate ejection fraction (HFmrEF; n=25) and reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF; n=28). The median value of haptoglobin in the HFpEF group was 1387.6 [ 747.5; 1946.9] mg/l, in the HFmrEF group was 1583.4 [818.9; 2201.4] mg/l, in the HFrEF group was 968.5 [509.5; 1324.4] mg/l. Correlation analysis revealed statistically significant relationships between haptoglobin and the amplitudes of the endothelial frequency range (Ae) in the groups of HFmrEF (r=-0.628, 95% confidence interval [CI] -0.256; -0.825, p=0.003) and HFrEF (r=-0.503, 95% CI -0.089; -0.803, p=0.02). A negative relationship between the haptoglobin level and Kv and σ was revealed, as well as a formula for calculating the value of haptoglobin was obtained, which is predicted on the basis of the amplitude index of the endothelial frequency range: [haptoglobin]=1787-(4053×Ae).

Conclusion. The multifactorial effect of haptoglobin is realized in the central and peripheral mechanisms of MC regulation. Low values of haptoglobin in blood plasma should be considered as a potential marker for the development of complications and used in a comprehensive assessment of the state of patients with CHF. Evaluation of the diagnostic and prognostic significance of haptoglobin, especially in patients with HFmrEF, requires further study.

Purpose. To study approaches to the quantitative assessment of breast arterial calcification (BAC) – a new surrogate marker of high cardiovascular risk in women, to determine the most detailed way to quantify BAC and to assess the reproducibility of these parameters.

Material and methods. Mammograms of 1,078 women were analyzed for the presence of BAC. The intraoperator reproducibility of the assessment of the severity of BAC using a 12-point scale (Margolies L et al., 2016) was studied by analyzing 20 mammograms by the same operator twice with an interval of at least 2 weeks. Inter-operator reproducibility was studied by analyzing 99 mammograms by two independent operators.

Results. When assessing the intraoperative reproducibility of the total score for each mammary gland, the exact coincidence of the results was noted in 70% (95% confidence interval [CI] 53.5-83.4), in cases of difference of no more than 1 point – in 27.5% (95%CI 14.6-43.9), only in 1 case the difference in assessments was 2 points. No systematic error was found between the two measurements (p=1.0), the correlation coefficient was rs=0.973. The assessment of inter-operator reproducibility showed that the exact coincidence of indicators was present in 48.5% (95%CI 41.3-55.7), in 91.4% (95% CI 86.6-94.9) cases, the total score for each the mammary gland differed by no more than 1 point. There was no systematic error between the measurements of the two experts (p=0.438), the correlation coefficient was rs=0.942.

Conclusion. A good intraoperator and interoperator reproducibility of indicators of the severity of BAC on a 12-point scale has been shown, which makes it possible to recommend it for use in science and practice.

Aim. Compare the incidence of the left atrial appendage (LAA) thrombus dissolution in patients with persistent nonvalvular atrial fibrillation receiving warfarin and direct oral anticoagulants (DOAC).

Materials and methods. 68 patients with persistent nonvalvular atrial fibrillation were included in a retrospective study (age was 59.7±9.8 years, 60.3% men), in whom at least one repeated transesophageal echocardiographic examination was performed after detecting a thrombus. After detecting a thrombus in the LAA, 37 (54.4%) patients started or continued taking warfarin in doses that ensure the INR maintenance at the level of 2-3, 14 (20.6%) started or continued taking dabigatran at a dose of 150 mg 2 times/day, 14 (20.6%) started or continued taking rivaroxaban 20 mg 1 time/day and 3 (4.4%) started or continued taking apixaban 5 mg 2 times/day. Repeated transesophageal echocardiographic examination was performed on average 33.3±14.2 days after the first one.

Results. Dissolution of a previously identified thrombus was found in 26 (83.9%) of 31 patients receiving DOAC and in 19 (51.4%) of 37 patients receiving warfarin (p=0.011). The logistic regression analysis showed that the chances of a thrombus dissolution in LAA while taking DOAC are 14.8 times (95% confidence interval [CI] was 2.469-88.72) higher than while taking warfarin. The size and the rate at which blood is expelled from the LAA also have an independent influence on the chances of thrombus dissolution. An increase in the size of a thrombus by 1 mm reduces the chances of a thrombus dissolution by 1.136 (95% CI was 1.040-1.244) times, and an increase in the rate of blood expulsion from the LAA by 1 cm/sec increases these chances by 1.105 (95% CI was 1.003-1.219) times.

Conclusion. In the present study, the incidence of the LAA thrombus dissolution in patients with persistent nonvalvular atrial fibrillation while receiving DOAC was higher than while receiving warfarin.

Published: November 2021

The research aims to find the dysfunctional American Dreams; the causes of dysfunctional American Dreams and the effects of dysfunctional American Dreams experienced by the main character, Willy Lowman, as a representation of American society.This paper is examined by applying descriptive qualitative research paradigm which is naturally interpretative. Thus, the key instrument is the researcher herself who has the authority in managing and analyzing the data, and certainly producing meaning in the process of discussion and interpretations. Moreover, to facilitate her in collecting and identifying the data, she used supporting instrument in the form of table. This study, theoretically, applied the mimetic theory as the research approach.The researcher found that Arthur Miller uses the character of Willy Loman to represent the failure of the American Dream. Willy’s quest for the American Dream leads to his failure because throughout his life he pursues the illusion of the American Dream and not the reality of it. The unachievable part of Willy’s view of the American Dream is perfection. He has subordinated by the capitalism in which Willy belongs to the proletariat where his dream is a utopia. 

HIGHLIGHTS:

The character of Willy Lowman represented the failure of American Dream because throughout his life he pursues the illusion of American Dream.

Some misperceptions of American Dream have made Willy living in utopia and committing a suicide.

The study represented that not all Americans or immigrants have the same perception of the American Dreams and not all of them can reach the dreams
Whirling interlayer fields as a new source of stable topological order in moiré CrI3

Published: November 2021

The moiré engineering of two-dimensional magnets opens unprecedented opportunities to design novel magnetic states via the stacking-dependent magnetism. Here, we explore the formation and control of ground state topological spin structures (TSTs) in moiré CrI3 without including the nearest-neighbor (NN) Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interactions (DMI) and dipolar interactions in the theoretical approach. Using stochastic Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert simulations, we unveil the emergence of vortex and antivortex interlayer exchange fields at large moiré periodicity. The whirling fields stabilize spontaneous and field-assisted ground state TSTs with various topologies, including skyrmionic clusters with high topological charges. Furthermore, by examining the effect of the Kitaev interaction and the next NN DMI, we propose the latter as the unique spin-orbit coupling mechanism compatible with the experimental results on monolayer and twisted CrI3. Therefore, our study goes beyond the current knowledge about TSTs in moiré magnets, opens exciting opportunities for moiré skyrmionics, and uncovers the spin-orbit coupling in CrI3.

Aiming to clarify the grain boundary conductance mechanism of CeO2/BaCeO3 based electrolytes suitable for solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs), Sm, Bi co-doping CeO2/BaCeO3 (80 wt.% Ce0.8Sm0.1Bi0.1O2-δ - 20 wt.% BaCe0.8Sm0.1Bi0.1O3-δ, BiSDC-BCSBi) electrolytes with ultra-fine grained (110-220 nm) and micron (1-1.8 μm) structures were prepared by the two step sintering and conventional sintering method, respectively. Both electrolytes have pure phases corresponding to CeO2 and BaCeO3 without other purities. In the ultra-fine grained structure, apparent grain boundary conductivities measured at 350 oC and 400 oC are 1-2 orders of magnitude higher than micron structures, thus resulting in dramatically enhanced electrical performances. This grain boundary effect can be attributed to two aspects. One is the decrease of space charge potential Δφ(0) (0.165 V for ultrafine-fine grained ones, 0.396 V for micron ones). The other is the dilution of impurities (the impurity blocking term ω/dg is 0.94 for ultrafine-fine grained ones, and 0.53 for micron ones). In the ultra-fine grained electrolytes, no extra electronic conduction is introduced, and the ion migration number of O2- is higher than that of H+. Finally, the ultra-fine grained BiSDC-BCSBi electrolytes maintain a good long-term stability in the operating condition of SOFCs at 600 oC for 100 h.

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to characterize demographically and genetically the Portuguese population with retinoblastoma; to report the clinical stage at presentation and its impact on survival and ocular preservation rate and, finally, to assess the incidence of retinoblastoma in Portugal.MethodsCohort retrospective observational study including children consecutively diagnosed with retinoblastoma at the Portuguese National Referral Center of Intraocular Tumors, between October 2015 and October 2020ResultsTwenty-eight children were diagnosed with retinoblastoma at our center, 15 hereditary from which 12 presented with bilateral retinoblastoma and 3 were unilateral. The overall mean age at diagnosis was 13.6 ± 11.1 months with hereditary retinoblastomas diagnosed slightly earlier at 9.6 ± 6.3 months. A familial history of retinoblastoma was found in only 4 (14.3%) of the cases. A pathogenic mutation in the RB1 gene was found in 13 (46.4%) of the children. The most frequent sign at referral was leukocoria in 71.4% of patients. Considering the ICRB classification of the tumors, 84.6% of non-hereditable hereditary retinoblastomas were referred to our center in advanced stages. In the group of hereditable retinoblastomas 86.7% presented with one of the eyes with advanced intraocular retinoblastoma. Fourteen children had one eye enucleated due to retinoblastoma. No deaths were registered during the study period. Considering the incidence analysis, we registered a year-of-birth controlled incidence analysis of 4.04 per 100.000 living births (IC 95% 1.59 – 6.49).Conclusion This is the first characterization of the Portuguese Population diagnosed with Retinoblastoma in the National Reference Center.
