Conservative Treatment for Congenital Nasolacrimal Duct Obstruction – Factors Affecting the Success
Authors: Valcheva K. P. , Murgova S. V.
Published: August 2021

Aim

To examine the success rate and factors affecting the effect of conservative treatment for congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction (CNLDO) in children.

Methodology

A prospective study was made on 167 eyes of 131 patients with clinical signs of CNLDO. All of them were initially treated nonsurgically with Crigler massage. The curative effect of this management was evaluated on the basis of no history of watery eyes, negative regurgitation test, and dye disappearance test 0 or 1 grade. Exploratory analyses assessed whether baseline characteristics including age, gender and laterality were associated with the probability of CNLDO resolving without surgery. If the nonsurgical treatment failed, probing was done in the Eye Clinic in Pleven.

Results

The conservative treatment for CNLDO with Crigler massage was successful in the majority of treated cases – in 115 out of 167 eyes with CNLDO (68,9%). The remaining 52 (31,1%) eyes were probed. Age (p = 0,001) and laterality (p = 0,001) were found to be associated with resolution of the clinical signs.

Conclusions

Nonsurgical management for CNLDO was successful initial treatment in patients with this pathology. The Crigler massage was more effective in children up to 12 months of age with unilateral obstruction.

Objective

The aim of the study was to determine the molecular-genetic characteristics of the autosomal dominant systematic disorder Tuberous Sclerosis Complex (TSC1 and TSC2) in Bulgarian patients and to derive some genotype-phenotype correlations.

Material and Methods

In total 42 patients/families with suspected clinical diagnosis of TSC were analyzed. We used direct sequencing and MLPA for the TSC1 and TSC2 gene analysis.

Results

In 38 families (90.5%) we confirmed the suspected clinical diagnosis – 15 with TSC1 (35.7%) and 23 (54.8%) with TSC2. In 4 families (9.5%) pathogenic variants were not found. In all 38 patients with proven diagnosis of TSC, we found 38 different mutations, 15 of which (39%) were detected for the first time by our research group. The mutation “hotspots“ in TSC1 gene are exons 9, 15, 17 and 18, where 73% of the TSC1 mutations are localized, while the TSC2 gene mutation “hotspots“ are exons 13 and 34, with 22% of the mutations situated there. In the TSC2 patients the common clinical findings include subcortical tubers, epilepsy with generalized tonic-clonic seizures, subependymal giant cell astrocytoma, facial angiofibromas, ungual fibromas, cardiac rhabdomyomas and renal angiomyolipomas, while in the TSC1 patients typically cortical tubers, cortical dysplasia and subependymal nodules were registered. In patients with aggressive frameshift and nonsense TSC1 and TSC2 mutations commonly hypomelanotic macules, cortical and subcortical tubers, cortical dysplasia, epilepsy with different types of seizures were found. Renal angiomyolipomas and cysts were detected mainly in patients with large deletions. Shagreen patches and intellectual disability were typically registered in equal degree in patients with frameshift, nonsense and missense mutations.

Conclusion

Although some genotype-phenotype correlations were derived, there is a great inter- and intrafamilial clinical variability in TSC, so it is impossible to predict the course of the disease on the basis of the detected molecular defect. The obtained results helped us to develop a diagnostic algorithm for proper molecular-genetic diagnostics which permits adequate genetic counseling, prophylaxis and treatment in the affected TSC families.
Water Consumption in the Automatic Milking Systems
Authors: Vaculík Petr , Jehlička Tomáš , Kažimírová Viera , Smejtková Andrea
Published: August 2021

The article deals with the determination of water consumption at selected dairy farms during milking using automatic milking systems (AMS). The aim was to determine the water consumption during basic activities associated with the AMS use, namely water for cleaning the milking set and water for cleaning and disinfecting the entire milking system at set daily intervals (hereinafter water). The research was carried out at seven farms in the Czech Republic, which house dairy cows of the black-spotted Holstein cattle. The evaluated groups of dairy cows had from 97 to 103 milked cows for the entire monitored period. Based on the performed measurements, it was found that the average amount of water consumed by AMS per 1 litre of milked milk was 0.33 litres. The results show that water consumption is not completely constant during the year. Multiple factors, including performance, the number of non-drinking milk detections, animal health and current climatic conditions, influence it.
Two-phase modelling for sediment water mixtures above the limit deposit velocity in horizontal pipelines
Authors: Schouten Thijs , van Rhee Cees , Keetels Geert
Published: August 2021

In dredging applications, deep sea mining and land reclamation projects typically large amounts of sediments are transported through pipes in the form of hyper concentrated (40% sediment or more) sediment-water mixtures or slurries. In this paper it is investigated how well a generic Euler-Euler CFD-model is capable to model velocity, concentration profiles and the pressure gradient of sediment above deposition limit velocity in a pipeline. This Euler-Euler solver treats both phases as a continuum with its own momentum and continuity equations. The full kinetic theory for granular flows is accounted for (no algebraic form is used) and is combined with a buoyant k-ε turbulence model for the fluid phase. The influence of the mesh size has been checked and grid convergence is achieved. All numerical schemes used are of second-order accuracy in space. The pressure gradient was calibrated by adjusting the specularity coefficient in one calibration case and kept constant afterwards. Simulations were carried out in a wide range of slurry flow parameters, in situ volume concentration (9–42%), pipe diameter (0.05–0.90 m), particle diameter (90–440 μm) and flow velocity of (3–7 m/s). The model shows satisfactory agreement to experimental data from existing literature.
Modelling vertical concentration distributions of solids suspended in turbulent visco-plastic fluid
Authors: Matoušek Václav , Chryss Andrew , Pullum Lionel
Published: August 2021

Vertical concentration distributions of solids conveyed in Newtonian fluids can be modelled using Rouse-Schmidt type distributions. Observations of solids conveyed in turbulent low Reynolds number visco-plastic carriers, suggest that solids are more readily suspended than their Newtonian counterparts, producing higher concentrations in the centre of the pipe. A Newtonian concentration profile model was adapted to include typical turbulent viscosity distributions within the pipe and particle motion calculated using non-Newtonian sheared settling. Predictions from this and the unmodified model, using the same wall viscosity, are compared with the chord averaged profile extracted from tomographic data obtained using a 50 mm horizontal pipe.
Thermal regime of the Dnipro Reservoirs
Authors: Vyshnevskyi Viktor , Shevchuk Serhii
Published: August 2021

Based on the results of regular monitoring and remote sensing data the patterns of water temperature of the reservoirs cascade on the Dnipro River were identified. A characteristic feature of the thermal regime of the Dnipro Cascade has been the water temperature increase over the past decades. In the period 1977–2020 the water temperature in summer increased by 0.74 °C decade−1, and during May–October by 0.65 °C decade−1. An important factor influencing the thermal regime of the reservoirs is the influence of those ones, located upstream. Water from them is discharged from the lower layer, where the processes of heating and cooling are very slow. This has a significant influence on the water temperature of downstream reservoirs, especially on their upper part. The water temperature in this part during spring and summer seasons is lower compared to natural conditions. In autumn it is higher. The temperature of water also depends on the latitude: it rises in the reservoirs located both downstream and to the south. Another important factor influencing the water temperature is the wind, which can change the temperature in the surface layer by 5–6 °С. Water temperature also depends on the intensity of algae bloom – it is higher in the spots of a large bloom.

The ideal of Lipschitz classical p-compact operators and its injective hull
Authors: Tiaiba Toufik , Achour Dahmane
Published: August 2021

We introduce and investigate the injective hull of the strongly Lipschitz classical p-compact operator ideal defined between a pointed metric space and a Banach space. As an application we extend some characterizations of the injective hull of the strongly Lipschitz classical p-compact from the linear case to the Lipschitz case. Also, we introduce the ideal of Lipschitz unconditionally quasi p-nuclear operators between pointed metric spaces and show that it coincides with the Lipschitz injective hull of the ideal of Lipschitz classical p-compact operators.

Authors: Zaineb El Kharrazi , Sahar Saoud , Zouhir Mahani
Published: August 2021

The present work proposes an Artificial Neural Network framework for calculating the price and delta hedging of American put option. We consider a sequence of Radial Basis function Neural Network, where each network learns the difference of the price function according to the Gaussian basis function. Based on Black Scholes partial differential equation, we improve the superiority of Artificial Neural Network by comparing the performance and the results achieved used in classic Monte Carlo Least Square simulation with those obtained by Neural networks in one dimension. Thus, numerical result shows that the Artificial Neural Network solver can reduce the computing time significantly as well as the error training.
Impact of Crop Rotation and Soil Tillage on the Severity of Winter Wheat Leaf Blotches
Authors: Bankina Biruta , Bimšteine Gunita , Arhipova Irina , Kaņeps Jānis , Darguža Madara
Published: August 2021

Reduced tillage is considered as one of the main tools to save biological diversity; however, it increases pressure of diseases, including wheat leaf blotches. The aim of present study was to clarify the impact of reduced soil tillage on the development of winter wheat leaf blotches in different schemes of crop rotation. The impact of different growing technologies on the severity of winter wheat disease was evaluated in a two-factorial experiment: A – soil tillage system, and B – different combinations of wheat pre-pre-crop and pre-crop (wheat, oilseed rape, barley and faba beans). Diseases were assessed every 10 days approximately and total impact of diseases was evaluated by calculating AUDPC (Area under Diseases Progress Curve). Tan spot, caused by Pyrenophora tritici-repentis was dominated disease over the long period, regardless of meteorological conditions. Development of Septoria leaf blotch was not influenced by neither crop rotation nor soil tillage. The level of tan spot was essentially higher after wheat, regardless of the pre-pre-crop. Reduced soil tillage promoted severity of tan spot. Ploughing mitigated effect of previous crops and differences in tan spot level were insignificant. Despite many positive effects of conservation tillage, increasing of fungicide treatment could be necessary, in conditions, when the tan spot is most devastating and widespread wheat disease.

Spondylodiscitis with a psoas abscess - not a case of tuberculosis
Authors: Sen Kaustabh , Koduri Krithi Krishna , Pasumarthy Ashirwad , Rughwani Hardik , Reddy Duvvur Nageshwar
Published: August 2021

Background:

Brucellosis is a zoonotic infection, commonly presenting with osteoarticular involvement. Spinal brucellosis occurs in up to 65% of affected cases, but the occurrence of a psoas abscess is rare, and may mislead the clinician to an alternative diagnosis such as tuberculosis (TB).

Case Presentation:

Our patient presented with history of fever and lower backache. On evaluation, he was found to have L1-L2 spondylodiscitis with an associated large left psoas abscess. Given the endemicity of TB in India, it was the first considered differential diagnosis. The abscess fluid culture, however, grew Brucella melitensis. On carefully reviewing his history, it was found that the patient had contact with goats as a part of his occupation, explaining the source of the Brucella infection.

Conclusion:

Brucellosis must be kept in mind as a differential diagnosis for spondylodiscitis even in the occurrence of psoas abscess, a rarity, as seen in this case - in the background of relevant contact history and endemicity.
ВАРШАВСЬКА УГОДА 1920 р. УКРАЇНИ І ПОЛЬЩІ: ІСТОРІЯ ПІДПИСАННЯ ТА УРОКИ ДЛЯ СЬОГОДЕННЯ
Authors: ДОРОШКО Микола , МАТВІЄНКО Віктор
Published: August 2021

Мета дослідження – проведення всебічного аналізу  ключових факторів і обставин, які зумовили еволюцію українсько-польських міждержавних відносин у 1919 – 1921 рр. від військово-політичної конфронтації до партнерства, а також у визначенні причин неспроможності реалізації Варшавської угоди 1920 р. Методологія дослідження заснована на принципах історизму, системності, авторської об’єктивності, використанні загальнонаукових (аналіз, синтез, узагальнення) та спеціально-історичних (історико-генетичний, історико-типологічний, історико-системний) методів. Наукова новизна полягає у комплексному дослідженні внутрішньополітичної ситуації в Українській Народній Республіці і Польщі напередодні укладення Варшавської угоди 21–24 квітня 1920 р., з’ясуванні зовнішніх чинників, що сприяли підписанню українсько-польського союзницького договору, визначенні уроків неуспіху союзницької угоди 1920 р. для розвитку сучасних українсько-польських відносин. Висновки. Автори переконані в тому, що в умовах завершення Першої світової війни і переструктурування світового геополітичного простору УНР і друга Річ Посполита були приречені на встановлення союзницьких відносин задля зміцнення відновленої державності і забезпечення безпеки в Балтійсько-Чорноморському регіоні. Проте підписання Варшавської угоди, в силу цілої низки внутрішньополітичних і зовнішніх чинників, не змогло забезпечити стійкої українсько-польської міждержавної взаємодії, що вкрай негативно позначилося на перспективі збереження державної незалежності УНР й українсько-польських партнерських стосунках.
ОСОБЛИВОСТІ ФУНКЦІОНУВАННЯ ГАЗЕТНОЇ ПЕРІОДИКИ В УКРАЇНІ У 40-ві рр. ХХ ст.

Мета дослідження – показати особливості виходу та функціонування газетної періодики у 40‑ві рр. ХХ ст. в контексті суспільно-політичних умов того часу, розкрити основну тематику й зміст матеріалів газетних видань. Методологія дослідження ґрунтується на принципах науковості, історизму, об’єктивності, системності, конкретного аналізу, з урахуванням чинного сьогодні в історичній науці методологічного плюралізму. Наукова новизна полягає у тому, що особливості виходу та функціонування газетної періодики в 1940‑ві рр., її роль у створенні загальної атмосфери у суспільстві аналізуються на тлі соціальних, політичних та економічних викликів повоєнного часу, з урахуванням впливу, насамперед, ідеологізації і політизації життя України. Висновки. Встановлено, що преса в 1940‑ві рр., як і взагалі протягом всього періоду існування Радянського Союзу, відігравала важливу роль у житті суспільства як засіб масової інформації, агітації та пропаганди. Саме їй панівна комуністична партія відводила роль головного популяризатора своєї політики, тому навіть в умовах післявоєнної розрухи та відновлення економіки держава шукала ресурси для відновлення роботи редакцій газет. Періодична преса публікувала інформаційні матеріали, які не суперечили панівній ідеології і мали формувати потрібну владі суспільну думку. Періодичні видання мали вагомий вплив на всі аспекти життя суспільства і достатньо успішно реалізували визначені режимом функції преси: організаторську, виховну, пропагандистську, контрпропагандистську і соціологічну, адже на шпальтах газет часто з’являлися матеріали, які висвітлювали суспільні, політичні і виробничі теми. Лейтмотивом стає тема перемоги у війні, героїзму радянських воїнів, “вирішальної ролі радянського народу та його політичного авангарду – комуністичної партії” в перемозі над фашизмом, формування духу “радянського патріотизму”, пропаганда ідей пролетарського інтернаціоналізму, післявоєнної відбудови, боротьба з “буржуазною ідеологією”. Преса сприяла режиму у розгортанні ідеологічних кампаній. Зокрема, під гаслами боротьби з “українським буржуазним націоналізмом”, “космополітизмом та сіонізмом” на її сторінках було безпідставно розкритиковано багатьох діячів науки і культури. Практично знівелювавши функцію преси у формуванні громадської думки, в основі якої лежить інформаційна діяльність, радянський режим максимально посилив її ідеологічну функцію, зосередивши її зусилля на пропаганді певних життєвих цінностей та агітації на їх підтримку.

Мета дослідження – на основі джерельної бази та історіографічного доробку висвітлити причини, перебіг і наслідки проведення Собору єпископів Української Автокефальної Православної Церкви (УАПЦ) в 1944 р. Методологія дослідження спирається на принципи історизму, системності, науковості, верифікації, авторської об’єктивності, поміркованого наративного конструктивізму, а також на використання загальнонаукових (аналіз, синтез, узагальнення) та спеціально-історичних (історико-генетичний, історико-типологічний, історико-системний) методів. Наукова новизна одержаних результатів визначається тим, що вперше у вітчизняній і закордонній історіографії проаналізовано ключові рішення Собору УАПЦ 1944 р., а також упроваджено до наукового обігу неопубліковані архівні документи та матеріали. Висновки. У роботі Варшавського Собору УАПЦ взяли участь дев’ять ієрархів, котрі створили Синод й ухвалили Тимчасове положення про управління Церквою. Складність становища православної ієрархії в еміграції посилювалася кількома об’єктивними обставинами. По-перше, несприятливими були зовнішні фактори, пов’язані з німецькою владою. Понад півтора року перебування єпископату УАПЦ на еміграції вона не дозволяла йому займатися організацією церковного життя православних українців, штучно концентрувала духовенство в одному місці та примусовій бездіяльності. Як свідчать документи, німецькі урядовці підтримували його в боротьбі за лідерство в УАПЦ. По-друге, давався взнаки низький рівень освіти православних єпископів, які часто були світськими особами або недостатньо досвідченими священниками. Постійні внутрішні суперечки, різне бачення шляхів розвитку Церкви поза межами України, міжособистісні конфлікти провокували майбутні розколи в українському православ’ї в діаспорі. По-третє, Варшавський Собор єпископів УАПЦ 1944 р. обмежився половинчастими рішеннями щодо її канонічного статусу й відклав його урегулювання до завершення війни.

The Great War and Siberian Memory: Georgy Vyatkin in an American Poetry Anthology of 1916
Authors: Ustinov A. B. , Loshchilov I. E.
Published: August 2021

The essay is dedicated to a rather extraordinary episode in the literary biography of the Siberian poet Georgy Vyatkin (1885–1938), when one of his poems was translated by the American social worker Alice Stone Blackwell (1857–1950) and published in 1916 in the magazine “The Russian Review.” The authors carefully reconstruct political and ideological contexts of this publication, directly linked to the United States’ entry into the Great War. They pay special attention to the literary and social activities of Alice Stone Blackwell. They discuss what place Vyatkin’s poem “To the Descendants’ took in Vyatkin’s literary biography in the time of the Great War. In 1914 he became a front-line correspondent for the Kharkov newspaper “Utro.” By 1915 he was drafted as a “ratnik” (soldier) by the army, and further served as an assistant within the medical and nutritional detachment under the command of another poet, Sasha Chernyi (Alexander Glikberg; 1880‒1932). Throughout the Great War, Vyatkin created an œuvre of literary works in verse and prose, which also includes his poem “To Descendants,” that was published in the magazine “Europe’s Messenger” and translated into English. Vyatkin revised some of his war poems after the Revolution, and adapted them to the circum- stances of the Civil War, from the perspective of the “White” press. At the same time, he became the Secretary of the War Archives Commission, which was created in 1918 under the leadership of the folklorist Ivan Ulyanov (1876–1937), who collected evidence of the modern memory of the Great War.
Siberian Free Verse of the 1920s – 1930s: General and Special in a New Poetic Form
Authors: Orlitsky Yu. B.
Published: August 2021

Since the beginning of the twentieth century, free verse (vers libre) begins an active penetration into Russian poetry, decisively moving from the category of a marginal poetic phenomenon into the most active forms of national verse. Since the end of the 1910s Russian free verse also appears in the thriving Siberian poetry. First of all, this occurs in the works of authors who work with verse in line with the main currents of the general Russian poetic tradition – relatively speaking, among the Siberian futurists, acmeists, and imagists. The article examines the process of the emergence of free verse (free verse) in the Siberian branch of Russian poetry in the first third of the twentieth century. Examples of early free verse from periodicals and books of the 1920s – 1930s, which were created in line with the all-Russian trends in the development of versification, are given. However, if we talk about the absolutely specific features of the Siberian free verse of the first third of the twentieth century, then this is, without a doubt, its use in translations and arrangements (including quite free ones) of the lyrics and epic of the peoples of Siberia. Publishing interlinear translations was common practice in those years. However, falling into the context of Russian literature, these interlinear translations were already perceived as poems, and precisely as written in free verse.

The most productive source of Siberian free poetry can be considered the so-called “self- laying”, author’s variations on the themes of which are published by Anton Sorokin, Vsevolod Ivanov, Leonid Martynov and Pavel Vasiliev.

Of particular interest are the Altai and Khakass “songs” of Ivan Eroshin, a significant part of which is also written in free verse. For the most part, these are small stylized lyric poems. His “Songs of Altai” is a rare example in world poetry of the reincarnation of a European poet into foreign characters – hunters, shepherds, even girls – on whose behalf most of the miniatures of the books “Blue Yurt” and “Songs of Altai” are written, performed by different types of verse. In total, from 1923 to the beginning of the 1950s, Eroshin wrote more than 40 vers libre, distinguished by the utmost laconicism combined with a bright “barbaric” imagery.

A special place among the stylists of folk poetry (including the folklore of the peoples of Siberia) in Soviet poetry of these years is occupied by the poet and playwright Andrei Globa. His cycle of 1922 “Kyrgyz Songs”, consisting of 17 poems, was written mainly in free verse. His collection “Songs of the Peoples of the USSR”, which has survived three editions, includes translations and stylizations of works of different genres, many of which are also written in free verse.

In addition, the paper examines the features of the use of free verse in translations and free transcriptions of the folklore of the peoples of Siberia, performed by V. Zazubrin, O. Cheremshanova, E. Tager.

The Image of I. A. Bunin in the Memoir Prose of Irina Odoevtseva (Based on the Memoir “Na beregakh Seny”)
Authors: Eroshevskaya M. V.
Published: August 2021

Irina Odoevtseva’s emigration began in 1922, permanently deleting the poet from Russian literature. In emigration, she stopped writing poems and turned to prose. Mainly, her memoir work brought her fame. The memoirs “Na beregakh Seny” are dedicated to the memories writers and poets of the Russian emigration, but a special place among them is occupied by I. A. Bunin. It was his criticism that Odoevtseva considered the most valuable and it was from him that she received approval as a prose writer. Thanks in large part to his comments and observations, she improved her writing skills. Moreover, the author-memoirist managed to get the location of Bunin. He repeatedly noted Odoevtseva’s ability to listen to him with genuine attention and interest. This impressed the writer and made him want to share his thoughts. Irina Odoevtseva’s femininity, diplomacy and sincerity allowed her to maintain good relations with Bunin throughout her life. So, the most significant event of emigration for Odoevtseva becomes acquaintance with Bunin.

The memoirist does not tell about each meeting in chronological order: it captures the most striking key moments. The poet admired the extraordinary and rare talent of the writer. Behind the mask of arrogance and arrogance, Odoevtseva was able to discern the best human qualities in him. She saw her task as bringing her contemporaries and descendants at least a little closer to Bunin’s greatness. According to the memoirist, he was such a multiaceted personality that no one could give an exhaustive description of his image. Being a poet and prose writer, she learned Bunin mainly as an author-Creator. But the main thing in Irina Odoevtseva’s observations is that this image extended to Bunin’s life as a whole. This was expressed in the way he saw the world, how he spoke and reminisced about his childhood and youth. Even the most mundane story told by Bunin became a small work of art. The writer did not just tell, but showed what he was talking about. He, like no one else, felt and understood nature subtly and sensitively, and his presence always created a special atmosphere. This, according to Odoevtseva, made him an extraordinary and unique person, and that is why it was so important for her to get to know the real Ivan Bunin and capture his multi-faceted image.
Feuilletons by F. V. Volkhovsky (Ivan Brut) in the “Siberian newspaper”
Authors: Mazurov A. E.
Published: August 2021

F. V. Volkhovsky lived in Tomsk since 1881. Almost immediately he began to actively cooperate with the “Siberian newspaper” and eventually became its leading feuilletonist. During his work, Volkhovsky published 89 feuilletons on its pages, more than half of the edition’s feuilletons.

A huge role in the formation of the poetics of feuilletons by F. V. Volkhovsky is played by “literary masks” with characteristic features of his biography and personal qualities. The work of F. V. Volkhovsky with the images of feuilletonists is best manifested in the image of Ivan Brut. It is in the feuilletons of Ivan Brut that the dialogicity is manifested, which was not previously characteristic of the author, and also the diversity of satire is revealed even deeper – in the materials there are many characters with whom the feuilletonist discusses the phenomena of social life. Ivan Brut is the most frequent image of the feuilletonist used by F. V. Volkhovsky – 22 feuilletons have been written under this pseudonym.

The purpose of this study is to clarify the features and meaning of the feuilletonist’s image in the materials of F. V. Volkhovsky on the example of the narrator Ivan Brut (1883–1888). As a result of the research, the author comes to the conclusion that Ivan Brut was perhaps the brightest character in the artistic and journalistic history of the first private newspaper in Western Siberia. This is the only full-fledged and thoughtful image of the feuilletonist – with his pedigree, biography and position, on many issues (in view of the democratization of the image) different from the author’s. Thus, Ivan Brut becomes not just a pseudonym, but a full- fledged co-author who constantly refers the reader to the same artistic images and thoughts. Despite a similar populist position with the author, Ivan Brut was able to “separate” from his personality and become a separate figure and a full-fledged member of the editorial board.

The tradition of creating “literary masks” of feuilletonists was continued in the Tomsk newspaper “Sibirskaya Zhizn” (1894–1919), which to some extent was the “heir” of the “Sibirskaya Gazeta”. This technique expanded the satirical possibilities of feuilletonists, made it possible to involve readers in the literary game, and thereby increased interest in public problems that were discussed in the feuilletons. The image of Ivan Brut created by Volkhovsky in this respect turned out to be a kind of “reference point” for all subsequent generations of Tomsk feuilletonists of the 19 th – early 20 th centuries.

Objetivo: Analisar os principais fatores preditores de maior inicidência na recorrência de endometriose em mulheres histerectomizadas. Métodos: Trata-se de uma revisão de literatura, sendo consultados artigos científicos publicados entre 2008 e 2020 nas bases eletrônicas: PUBMED, Scopus e Web of science. As palavras-chave utilizadas foram "endometriose", "histerectomia”, "tratamento", "recorrência" e sua correspondência em inglês, “endometriosis”, “hysterectomy”, “treatment” e “recurrence”. Resultados: A recorrência da endometriose se deve a inúmeros fatores, entre eles: epidemiologia, associação com cirurgia, fatores preditores de risco, fisiopatologia, relação com o tratamento pós-operatório, associação com a concepção, relação com a terapia de reposição hormonal, biomarcadores, tratamento e prevenção da recidiva de endometriose. Entretanto, causa mais provável para recidiva da endometriose após uma histerectomia, são as células e tecidos que ficam após a cirurgia, uma vez que são difíceis de identificá-los e retira-los. Considerações finais: O presente artigo permitiu reconhecer formas que minimizam a recidiva de endometriose após histerectomia, como a experiência do cirurgião, a remoção completa de lesões profundas e a retirada de focos microscópicos, logo espera-se que este estudo contribua na diminuição da recorrência da endometriose após histerectomia.

Authors: Sinha Mithilesh Kumar , Barman Apurba , Goyal Manish , Patra Suravi
Published: August 2021

Breast cancer affects the mental well-being of patients who may need psychological support. The combined practice of progressive muscle relaxation (PMR) and guided imagery (GI) is known to improve psychological health. Its effect has been studied in patients with breast cancer. We need to systematically review and analyse the available data to outline its role in various stages of disease management. We wanted to evaluate the effect of the combined practice of PMR and GI on stress, anxiety, depression and mood. We also wanted to study the impact on quality of life and chemotherapy-related adverse effects. A systematic search and evaluation of the literature was performed. Five randomised controlled trials were selected for data extraction and construction of forest plots. The intervention was effective for stress and anxiety. It positively improved the quality of life but saw no significant improvement in chemotherapy-related adverse effects.

Published: August 2021

Objectives:

The department of community medicine (DCM) has been training medical interns for palliative care in the hospital and community setting. There was no specific curriculum or course material available for training them. This study aims to develop, implement and evaluate the palliative care curriculum for training medical interns.

Materials and Methods:

The present program development and evaluation of palliative care curriculum was done in the DCM, Sri Manakula Vinayagar Medical College and Hospital, Puducherry, India. We followed the Kern’s six steps for curriculum development. It was done during July 2016 and May 2017. We framed expected outcomes from literature review and interviews with experts. The curriculum was delivered through small group sessions followed by hands-on exposure to hospital- and community-based palliative care programs guided by a workbook. Medical interns were given feedback on their field assignments on history taking, followed by reflection using structured template incorporated in the workbook. The reaction to the curriculum was collected from various stakeholders.

Results:

Medical interns found the curriculum useful for them to acquire basic skills of pain management, communication skills and teamwork. Patients and family felt satisfied with the quality of care provided.

Conclusion:

The new palliative care curriculum was well received by all the stakeholders involved. This can be adopted in similar context for training medical interns in palliative care.

Published: August 2021

Objectives:

Palliative surgery for cancer plays an important role in the overall management, especially in low-middle countries with a significant burden of advanced cancers. There is a paucity of literature related to the field of palliative surgery. In this study, we present the clinical spectrum, profile of surgical interventions and outcomes of palliative surgical procedures performed at a tertiary cancer centre involving multiple organ systems.

Materials and Methods:

A retrospective analysis of prospectively maintained surgical oncology database of a tertiary care cancer centre was performed. Patients fulfilling the criteria of palliative surgery were analysed for clinical spectrum, indications for surgery, palliative surgical procedures and post-operative outcomes.

Results:

A total of 678 out of 8300 patients fulfilled the criteria for palliative surgery. Palliative surgical procedures were performed most commonly for gastro-oesophageal malignancies (36.4%) followed by colorectal cancers (24%) and breast cancer (12%). Palliative mastectomy was the most common procedure performed for advanced breast cancer and 7% of sarcoma patients had amputations. Symptom relief could be achieved in 80–90% of patients and post-operative morbidity was relatively high among hepatobiliary, gastrointestinal and gynaecological cancer patients.

Conclusion:

Globally, a significant number of cancer patients need palliative surgical intervention, especially in LMIC with a high burden of advanced cancers. Results of the current study indicate that gastrointestinal cancer patients constitute a major proportion of patients undergoing palliative surgery. Overall results of the current study indicate that excellent palliation can be achieved in majority of patients with acceptable morbidity and hospital stay.

Fiscalidad directa de la economía digital
Authors: Reyes Sarmiento Javier Enrique
Published: August 2021

La globalización de la economía, el desarrollo de la tecnología y la proliferación de servicios digitales ha generado la aparición de un nuevo orden fiscal internacional, ello ante la insuficiencia de los criterios de sujeción tradicionales —fuente y residencia— con la finalidad de gravar esta fuente de riqueza. Es en este contexto, con una acentuada necesidad de recursos de todas las naciones, que hoy se discute en el mundo la necesidad de un nuevo nexo para la economía digital; no obstante, las propuestas actuales se desarrollan en torno a la posibilidad de los países desarrollados de gravar tal fuente, que pese a ser países de la residencia de las empresas prestadoras de estos servicios digitales, hoy se identifican, además como países de la fuente de esta fuente de riqueza. En el presente trabajo, el autor analiza el contexto actual de la tributación de las empresas digitales no domiciliadas, abordando el mismo desde un punto de vista histórico, y luego observa su desarrollo legal a nivel internacional.

Las humanidades frente al dominio de la razón tecnológica y a la crisis de los grandes relatos
Authors: Hopenhayn Martín
Published: August 2021

Hoy parece incontestable que la modernización en América Latina aspira a renovar sus ímpetus, y no hay quien reúna suficiente fuerza para oponerle proyectos colectivos con real capacidad de convocación. Una nueva cruzada secularizadora impone un código de pretensiones universalistas. Racionalidad instrumental puesta al día, privatización acelerada, apertura de los mercados y una carrera contra el tiempo por modernizar lo modernizable y administrar lo no modernizable con sus manifestaciones más vistosas.
Reutilización adaptativa de edificios subutilizados una estrategia sostenible para la reocupación urbana en el centro de la ciudad de Vitória (Brasil)
Authors: Longue Iago
Published: August 2021

El modelo de producción del medio construido y aplicado al contexto urbano contemporáneo ha presentado una serie de disfuncionalidades que ponen de relieve la insostenibilidad de este sistema. Entre ellas se encuentra una intensa dispersión urbana que exige un mayor gasto en infraestructura de movilidad. Además, la gestión inadecuada del espacio construido, materializada en el conjunto de edificaciones subutilizadas que permean el contexto urbano de barrios centrales en ciudades medianas y grandes, afecta la dinámica socioambiental del lugar. En este sentido, el objetivo del trabajo es investigar el impacto de la presencia de edificios subutilizados en el tejido urbano del centro de Vitória (Brasil), así como el de su recuperación para las dinámicas socioambientales que se desarrollan en esa región. Los resultados muestran que las estrategias ayudan a la reanudación del dinamismo urbano y permiten la reutilización de las infraestructuras de movilidad e inmobiliarias existentes en el lugar.
La infraestructura como estrategia para la conservación del territorio la obra de Kongjian Yu
Authors: Olórtegui Ingrid
Published: August 2021

El presente artículo explicará las estrategias empleadas por el arquitecto chino Kongjian Yu y su equipo Turenscape, con el fin de analizar y entender al territorio como punto de partida para el desarrollo de sus propuestas paisajistas, las cuales desafían la tendencia del uso masivo del concreto en China. El regreso a las raíces de la cultura, la naturaleza y el entendimiento del territorio para plantear proyectos que manejen de forma orgánica la variabilidad de la naturaleza, especialmente en su relación con el agua, será relacionado con el incipiente desarrollo de la infraestructura natural en el ámbito peruano. La experiencia de Yu logra vincular la llamada infraestructura ecológico con el desarrollo urbano, cuyo símil en el Perú sería la infraestructura natural, que se concibe como el desarrollo del espacio natural asociado al origen de las fuentes de agua en áreas rurales, prevaleciendo aún la implementación de la infraestructura gris en las ciudades.
Transformaciones del bosque El Olivar: la ruta hacia la conservación del paisaje
Authors: Ruiz Marino , Palomino Manuel
Published: August 2021

El paisaje urbano es el componente territorial de las ciudades, ligado al componente humano que lo percibe y le da el valor correspondiente. El bosque El Olivar de San Isidro, espacio público emblemático de la ciudad de Lima, sobresale por sus cualidades paisajísticas que no han sido valoradas más allá de su mera importancia estética. En el siguiente artículo se muestran las constantes transformaciones por las que ha pasado, vinculadas a la percepción del paisaje urbano, el uso del bosque y la ocupación del lugar, ocurridas durante el proceso de expansión urbana de Lima. La importancia del bosque El Olivar va más allá de la simple percepción estética del usuario: radica en la relación forjada a través del tiempo entre el paisaje y la ciudad, y en las reflexiones que podemos realizar en torno a dicha relación. El viejo bosque de olivos nos brinda ahora la oportunidad de repensar nuestra posición en torno a su valor paisajístico tanto para los usuarios como para la ciudad en su conjunto; de este modo, podremos identificarlas acciones que permitan protegerlo y conservarlo. Dicha conservación permite lograr un equilibrio adecuado entre naturaleza y ciudadanía, razón de ser de un entorno urbano sostenible.
