IsoCore – An efficient model to aid rapid forecasting of SARS-CoV-2 infection from biomedical imagery
Authors: Bagwan Faraz , Pise Nitin
Published: April 2023

Combating the covid19 scourge is a prime concern for the human race today. Rapid diagnosis and isolation of virus-exposed persons is critical to limiting illness transmission. Due to the prevalence of public health crises, reaction-based blood tests are the customary approach for identifying covid19. As a result, scientists are testing promising screening methods like deep layered machine learning on chest radiographs. Despite their usefulness, these approaches have large computational costs, rendering them unworkable in practice. This study's main goal is to establish an accurate yet efficient method for covid19 predicting using chest radiography pictures. We utilize and enhance the graph-based family of neural networks to achieve the stated goal. The IsoCore algorithm is trained on a collection of X-ray images separated into four categories: healthy, Covid19, viral pneumonia, and bacterial pneumonia. The IsoCore, which has 5 to 10 times fewer parameters than the other tested designs, attained an overall accuracy of 99.79%. We believe the acquired results are the most ideal in the deep inference domain at this time. This proposed model might be employed by doctors via phones.
Пол, возраст и статус в погребальных комплексах населения ямной культуры Волго-Уралья
Authors: Файзуллин Айрат Асхатович
Published: April 2023

В статье представлен анализ половозрастной структуры населения ямной культуры Волго-Уралья по данным погребального обряда. На основании данных по трудовым затратам и инвентарю, а также диспропорции в погребальном обряде в пользу мужского населения сделан вывод о существовании патриархальных установок в обществе ямной культуры. Небольшое количество захоронений женщин и детей позволяет предполагать, что курганный обряд предназначался только для индивидов с наследственным или приобретенным социальным статусом. По данным погребального обряда и инвентаря сделан вывод о том, что женщины наряду с мужчинами могли занимать важные производственные и административные позиции в обществе населения ямной культуры. Погребения детей и подростков позволяют предположить, что социальный статус и профессии родителей могли передаваться по наследству. О наследственном социальном статусе также свидетельствуют и парные погребения детей в том случае, когда они покоятся лицом к взрослым. Такое положение, видимо, свидетельствует о том, что дети участвовали в погребальном ритуале по праву рождения в социальной группе с высоким статусом. Другой вид обращения с детьми в парных погребениях позволяет предположить существование обряда, когда в могилу взрослым помещали человеческую жертву (ребенка).
Керамические комплексы железного века поселения «Паново городище»
Authors: Новиков Александр Викторович
Published: April 2023

Статья вводит в научный оборот материалы, полученные при раскопках Пановской стоянки (поселения «Паново городище») в 1925 г. Б. С. Жуковым. «Паново городище» – памятник многократного заселения, первоначально данное место обживается в неолите, далее в эпоху бронзы осваивается носителями чирковских культурных традиций. В финале бронзы здесь появляется посёлок, связанный с носителями сетчатых керамических традиций (СКТК), на начальном этапе раннего железного века занятый представителями акозинской культуры АКИО. В VII–V вв. до н.э. поселение входит в круг памятников вятско-ветлужской культуры АКИО. Материалы, полученные при раскопках поселения, являются ценным источником для понимания процессов освоения бассейна р. Ветлуги ананьинскими коллективами, а также взаимодействия между носителями разных культурных традиций внутри самого ананьинского мира. В IV/III–III вв. до н. э. местность посещается носителями рогожных керамических традиций. Заключительный этап освоения площадки памятника приходится на конец I тыс. до н.э. – первую половину I тыс. н. э. и середину – третью четверть первого тыс. н. э. На поселении этого периода фиксируются разные керамические традиции, следующие друг за другом. Находки ярко отражают перечисленные выше этапы освоения площадки памятника. Важно отметить, что поселений первой половины I тыс. н. э. на лесных заволжских территориях на сегодняшний день известно крайне мало, материалов собрано недостаточно и изучены они пока слабо, в связи с чем актуальность обращения к материалам раскопок поселения «Паново городище» высока.
Культурно-хронологические аспекты развития материальной культуры раннего железного века городища «Ройский Шихан»
Authors: Оруджов Эдуард Игоревич
Published: April 2023

В статье представлены новые сведения о топографии городища Ройский Шихан, полученные в результате инструментальной съемки с помощью современных приборов геопозициорования (GNSS приемник South S660), в частности, размеры оборонительных сооружений, высота стрелки мыса от подножия городища. При использовании методов статистической обработки, на основе методики А.Г. Федорова-Давыдова, осуществлен детальный анализ керамического комплекса городища (2898 фр.). Для вышеуказанной коллекции керамики определены основные (качественные) признаки, которые являются общими для всех сосудов, а также альтернативные качественные признаки, которые присутствуют либо отсутствуют на том или ином сосуде. Выделен ряд альтернативных качественных признаков (орнаментальных мотивов) в оформлении ананьинской керамики, свидетельствующих о возникновении Ройского городища в первом периоде АКИО (IX – первая четверть / первая половина VII вв. до н.э.), предположительно, с VIII в. до н.э., тем самым обозначив его как наиболее ранний памятник среди городищ вятско-ветлужской культуры (ВВК) ананьинской культурно-исторической области (АКИО) бассейна реки Вятки.
Спиралевидные подвески юга Восточной Европы: культурные и технологические истоки морфологии, способы ношения
Authors: Бортникова Светлана Владимировна
Published: April 2023

В статье рассматривается происхождение спиралевидных подвесок в 1,5 и более оборотов, широко представленных в культурах Циркумпонтийской зоны в эпоху бронзы с конца IV тыс., в контексте эволюции морфологии и межкультурного взаимодействия. Основой для их возникновения в культурах степного пояса Восточной Европы могли послужить кольцевидные височные украшения, известные в энеолите восточной части Балкано-Карпатской металлургической провинции. Развитие навыков обработки металлов и эксперименты с составом металла позволили добиться более сложной, спиральной формы, знакомство с которой было обусловлено импортными изделиями из западного ареала провинции. Прослеживаются культурные предпочтения в материале изготовления данных подвесок, в частности, серебра, либо имитирующей серебро бронзы. Простая форма подвесок объясняется ограниченным количеством драгоценного металла и стандартными размерами слитков, в которых он поступал к мастерам-ювелирам. Приводятся возможные способы ношения и крепления данных подвесок. Особое внимание уделяется аспекту парности, проявляющейся в разных направлениях закрутки спирали и одинаковом количестве витков у пары подвесок.
Взаимодействие кочевого и оседлого населения в лесостепи Предуралья в сарматский период
Authors: Овсянников Владимир Владиславович
Published: April 2023

В V в. до н.э. в ходе миграции в долину р. Белой различных групп прикамского населения, при преобладании носителей постмаклашеевской культуры, произошла их трансформация в кара-абызскую культуру. В результате на лесостепном правобережье р. Белой образовалось несколько центров-агломераций расселения кара-абызской культуры: южная (гафурийская), зилимская (убаларская), центральная (шиповско-охлебининская) и ряд северных центров (Уфа, Кара-Абыз, Биктимирово, Камышинка, Бирск и др.). С другой стороны, левобережье р. Белой вплоть до устья р. Демы с рубежа V–IV вв. до н.э. было доступно кочевому раннесарматскому населению. Наиболее плотное освоение номадами этой территории относится к III–II вв. до н.э. Каждая из кара-абызских групп реализовала различные модели взаимодействия с кочевыми соседями. Наиболее тесное взаимодействие с номадами прослеживается в южной и центральной вплоть до инкорпорирования кочевников в оседлую среду. Контакты зилимской и северных группировок с кочевым миром выражены значительно слабее.
Восточный компонент в материалах эпохи бронзы - раннего железного века Средней и Нижней Сухоны
Authors: Иванищева Марина Викторовна
Published: April 2023

Относительная хронология событий в эпоху бронзы на севере лесной полосы была намечена С.В. Ошибкиной, выделившей позднекаргопольскую культуру в Восточном Прионежье и бассейне Сухоны сер. II – сер. I тыс. до н.э., сложившуюся на местной неолитической основе при участии небольших групп южного населения. Исследования последних 30 лет позволяют выделить значительный восточный / юго-восточный компоненты в культурогенезе древнего населения средней и нижней Сухоны, что связано с характером гидрологической сети данного региона. Юго-восточный компонент связан с распространением на территорию Посухонья средневолжской чирковской культуры в среднебронзовом веке и распространением / формированием(?) гончарной традиции, близкой лебяжской культуре Северного Приуралья в поздний период эпохи бронзы. В раннем железном веке распространение на всем протяжении реки керамики ананьинского облика со шнуровой и гребенчато-шнуровой орнаментацией позволяет включать Посухонье в ареал ананьинской культурно-исторической области. Данная статья представляет материалы эпохи бронзы и раннего железного века, происходящие из исследованных автором памятников средней и нижней Сухоны. Впервые в научный оборот вводятся материалы поселения Мотыри-1 (Лошечная) с комплексом керамики, близкой посуде лебяжской культуры. В лебяжской культуре исследователи видят основу для сложения северных ананьинцев. Описание материалов сопровождается картографированием объектов с керамикой чирковского, лебяжского и ананьинского облика.

Published: April 2023

Allergic rhinitis (AR), a common atopic disease, is a global health concern causing a significant burden on healthcare resources and is associated with high incidence in the pediatric population. Pharmacotherapy controls the severity of the disease; however, relapsing symptoms challenge the management of AR. A significant AR burden is witnessed in the Middle East region. However, there is a lack of published data on the epidemiology, diagnosis, current treatment options, and preventive measures for AR in the Middle East. The present study, supported by relevant literature, discusses the expert experiences on the epidemiology, diagnosis, current treatment options, and preventive measures for AR in the Middle East. An advisory board meeting involving nine experts in the field of otolaryngology from Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, and Pakistan was conducted. The experiences of the experts on the epidemiology and diagnosis of AR in the Middle East, including current treatment options, preventive measures, and the management of rhinitis medicamentosa, were combined and supported by a literature review.
Based on expert experiences and literature review, Intranasal corticosteroids (INCS) may be considered a more effective treatment option than oral antihistamines. Patients who do not respond within 2-3 weeks of INCS treatment may be prescribed combination therapy with antihistamines and decongestants (limited time and certain cases). These evidence-based expert experiences focusing on the management of AR in the Middle East may provide up-to-date guidance to primary care physicians for the effective management of AR patients in this region.
Famennian negative carbon isotope excursion in the Izyayu River section (Tchernyshev Uplift, Cis-Uralian Foredeep)

Published: April 2023

Research subject. The article is focused on manifestations of the Early-Middle Famennian negative excursion in carbon isotope composition in the Izyayu River section (south of the Tchernyshev Uplift).

   Aim. The study is aimed to reconstructing of the probable causes of this isotope excursion.

   Materials and methods. The article is based on the results of study of the deep-shelf lower-middle Famennian sequence of the Izyayu River section. The carbon isotopic composition was studied for the carbonate samples and conodont elements (32 and 9 samples respectively).

   Results. The lightening of the carbon isotopic composition of carbonates by 2.5 %, and of the carbon isotopic composition of conodont elements by 4 % were found in the Pal. gracilis gracilis–Pal. marginifera marginifera zonal interval. The difference between the carbon isotopic compositions of carbonates and conodont elements increases in this interval by more than 2.5 %. Possible reasons for the observed variations could be the intensification of terrigenous runoff due to regression, a relatively high content of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, and, possibly, a local decline in primary bioproductivity.

   Conclusions. The negative carbon isotope shift spans Pal. gracilis gracilis–Pal. marginifera marginifera zonal interval in the Izyayu River section. The shift corresponds to the global decreasing in the δ13Ccarb values in the early/middle Famennian boundary interval. The increase in supply of the isotopically light carbon with terrigenous runoff and decrease in the primary bioproductivity are considered as probable causes of the carbon isotope excursion.

Published: April 2023

Aim. To highlight the results of the research conducted in 2020 – 2021 aiming at studying the  ffect of multi-depth and multifraction sowing of the  hybrid corn seeds of the DMS Sticker mid-early maturity group on the yield when grown in the conditions of the Northern Steppe of Ukraine and determine the economic efficiency of the approaches.Materials and methods. Winter wheat was a predecessor crop in the study. Tillage methods and  related conditions are described in the article. Herbicides were used to protect against weeds. Sowing was carried out in the third decade of April at a soil temperature of +8 – 10 ºС. The experiment considered 2 factors, namely the depth of sowing seeds and the size of the seed fraction. The results obtained were processed using measurement, mathematical and statistical methods of research, as well as calculation and comparison approaches.Results and discussion. On average, depending on the factors studied, the height of the plants varied significantly, as a rule, the tallest plants were obtained from large seeds, which had the highest mass of 1000 seeds. Thus, in particular, on average over two years of research, the height of the plants was 250.4 cm when the weight of 1000 seeds was 255 g, and the seeds were wrapped by 4 – 5 cm; when the weight of 1000 seeds was 300 g, the height was 251.1 cm, while with the weight of 350 g it was 258.3 cm; with the wrapping depth of 7 – 8 cm the height was 252.1 cm, 255.8 and 268.5 cm, and with the wrapping depth of 10 – 11 cm it was 257.6 cm, 261.8 and 266.1 cm.Conclusions. The use of the large seed fraction provided an increase in the yield of the DMS Sticker corn hybrid by 1.09 – 1.79 t ha-1 compared to the use of the small seed fraction and was 8.70 t ha-1. When using the large seed fraction and the wrapping depth of 10 – 11 cm, the cost of production was 56,550 UAH ha-1. The cost price of 1 ton of production was the lowest and amounted to UAH 2,247.1, the conditional net profit was the highest – 37,000 UAH ha-1, and the level of profitability was 189.3 %.

Displacing Meanings: Hidden Signs of Aesthetics in the Chilean Context
Authors: Zamorano Sanhueza Miguel
Published: April 2023

The aim of this work is to reflect how Chilean visual arts worked in the context of dictatorship, which started with the coup of 1973. During this period, repressive politics censored most of the country’s cultural and artistic manifestations. Several Chilean artists established the group C.A.D.A. (Collective Art Actions), the artworks of which established a renewal of the artistic scenario through forsaking the tradition, in terms of how to conceive the relation between artists and audience, how artistic institutions legitimate the artistic work and how material strategies of creation modified the conception of visual arts at that moment. Due to the repressive scenario, visual artistic production adhered to an overlap of meanings. Hiding connotations, through rewriting the signs that made up its own practices, was a strategy to survive the effects of the coup. This included the replacement of conventional materiality, the questioning of artistic institutions and a new transdisciplinary concept of visual arts production. From this temporal reference, this work describes how aesthetics can be thought of as an emancipatory knowledge. Its presence derives from formal institutional and discursive prescriptions to marginalized narratives that emerged and became visible during a troublesome period.

Modern Kenyan Identity: Crafting a Nation Through Monuments
Authors: Muthuma Lydia W.
Published: April 2023

To define the identity of a modern African country, within the Eurocentric interpretive framework, imposes creative limits. Therefore, this is an insider’s perspective of Kenyan identity. It begins with a summary of what constitutes modernism as a philosophy that underpins various cultural expressions. While pointing out the danger of assigning expressions of cultural identity to a state as opposed to a nation, the article surveys monuments in Nairobi. And it is with qualified confidence that modernist-looking monuments are considered cultural expressions of Kenya; they are simply symbols that try to gather the peoples into a modern collective – with (un)certain success.
The colonial authority assembled various monuments in an effort to imprint British identity; these are not in the style of modernism, though they were erected when Europe was experiencing the culture of modernism. The epitome is the statue of King George V. Post-colonial monuments, seeking to wipe off colonial identity, are also more classical and less modernist, bringing to the fore the paradox of a modern culture that does not employ the modernist style. Jomo Kenyatta’s statue in Nairobi’s City Square is the epitome of post-colonial monuments. Its mounting was the gesture par excellence of overthrowing British dominion. The only modernist monuments are those affiliated to President Daniel Moi. His regime had to fight to unite the citizens. A parallel is drawn between this political effort and the artistic style of choice.
A discussion of the non-prevalence of the modernist style in articulating modern identity follows. And, in conclusion, the article points out that though both colonial and post-colonial monuments are fabricated out of modern materials and techniques, they cannot be termed modernist works of art. Modernism, as a style that bespeaks a culture, is unavoidably underpinned on western culture (European and American) of the 20th century.

Socio-Historical Context and Dematerialization of the Art Object
Authors: Đureinović Zoran
Published: April 2023

The new socio-historical context of the world, multipolarity, the decentralization and, above all, rapid technological development, inevitably led to a change in the way art is shaped. The new socio-historical context meant putting an end to the linear interpretation of art, often marking it as the end of art. The world is fragmenting; the traditional ways of expressing creativity have been exhausted and perfected technological production is taking over this function. Considering the existing attitudes about the end of art as we know it, we could rather speak about the end of the material, i.e., the end of the art object, but not the end of the idea or the concept itself. Due to the newly emerged social context, the meaning of the artwork has shifted from the material, i.e., from the object to a discursive and abstract field. In other words, the concept, idea, and theory are primary; they form the essence of the artwork, not the object itself. It is about the fact that the world we live in and the discourses – within which artwork is created – have changed due to the aforementioned reasons, and accordingly, the design of the artwork has also changed. Conceptual artwork and related art practices are the best examples of this. Art itself has become an object of enjoyment and contentment in the world of a modern consumer society, globalization, complete commercialization, and popular culture, in which traditional artwork as an art object no longer exists. Instead, in the modern consumer society, all is about experiencing a sensual and pleasant event, whether it is a tourist visit to a museum or attending an exhibition.

Conceptual Photo Books: Photo-Imago as a Trace of the Geist Miško Šuvaković, Dubravka Đurić
Authors: Šuvaković Miško , Đurić Dubravka
Published: April 2023

In the essay, we will deal with the models of the photo book of artists in conceptual art 1966–80. A short sketch of the international history of photo books in conceptual art will be presented, ranging from the examples of American, British, Croatian, and Serbian authors, etc. We will point out to the two levels of discussion: (1) the essential morphological properties of the book, artistic books and photo book in conceptual art – the transformation of static photographic image into a series of sequences and a series of sequences into mental representation; and (2) typology of characteristic models of photo books in conceptual art (book-project, artist's book as a first-person speech, tautological articulation of a series of photographs, analytical reflection between image and text, documentary book etc.). We will also discuss photo books in conceptual art in relation to models: phototautology, photodocuments, photoperformance, photoselfreflectivity, photoarchive, photo-remediation, photosemiology, photoshifter, photoconceptual text, phototravellers, photo-construction-of-the-every-day-life, phototranscultural narration, photoexistence, photopolitization and photo-simulation.

Santu Mofokeng’s The Black Photo Album / Look at Me: 1890–1950 (2013) and the Victorian Dispositive. Photographic Staging and Appropriation as Practices of Anticolonial Resistance
Authors: Dvorakk Elisaveta
Published: April 2023

This contribution discusses selected historical photographs of the research project, collection, and photobook The Black Photo Album / Look at Me: 1890–1950 published in 2013 by Santu Mofokeng (1956–2020), both within the original context of their emergence as well as taking Mofokeng’s intention in editing the photobook into account. Furthermore, the location of the image content and its aesthetics in the colonial context of South Africa 1890–1950 and within the Victorian photographic dispositive are in the focus. The analysis of the The Black Photo Album / Look at Me: 1890–1950 considers the Victorian photographic discourse of the late 19th century as an influential frame. This discourse entails ongoing mechanisms of epistemic violence in the visual representation of the Black community. Furthermore, the paper perceives the photographs found by Mofokeng as a material testimony of practiced anticolonial resistance. This perspective contributes productively to the critical discussion of Mofokeng’s question, if these images are “evidence of mental colonisation” or did they serve to challenge prevailing images of ‘African people’ in the ‘West’.

Avant-Garde Transformation of Artistic Labor: The Productivist View of Boris Arvatov
Authors: Dedić Nikola
Published: April 2023

The basic thesis of the article is that in historical materialist theory a distinction can be made between the terms work and labor. Work refers to a specific activity – sewing, weaving, painting, sculpting. Labor refers to the social relationship, primarily between different social groups, i.e., classes – wage labor, serfdom, slavery, petty craftsmanship. Art history has approached the avant-garde mainly from the aspect of artistic work – for example, how the avant-garde transformed work in the domain of painting into work in the domain of three-dimensional construction. This article tries to think of the avant-garde as a phenomenon that has transformed art in terms of artistic labor. The basis is the transition from constructivism to productivism in Soviet art in the 1920s, and especially Boris Arvatov's theoretical postulates.

Processes of Our Mediated Spaces
Authors: Terzić Predrag
Published: April 2023

Through art examples, I would like to show how real exhibiting space enters the dialogue with the visitor and his movement while using Virtual Reality and Artificial Intelligence. The analysis of the technological aspect is important, as well as the recognition of social and material conditions in the creation of new artistic practices, the production and later recognition of what happens to art. I would move within the paradigm shift of image, photography, film, installation, and Internet use, as well as within the emergence of artificial intelligence.
The audience is seen as a participant in the creation and evaluation of artistic experience, they are invited to reveal their action views. Today, the exchange of experiences as well as the study of common experience in the context of artistic research is made easier through art systems. Artists incorporate evaluation into their practice, thus, establishing a new program of research in art and technology.
The interactive experience in the digital age explores different ways of creating and evaluating interactive art. While the visitor of contemporary art exhibitions explores and examines what is happening, how fast contemporary art is changing, (s)he still does not understand what is happening in front of her/him. Various art examples presented in this paper show a new phenomenon that places science, technology, and art on the same side. This opens a new chapter in artistic practice and makes the contemporary scene livelier and more diverse. At this point, we come to the possible sequence of events in art, which brings a new way of expression and provides an interesting space for further research.

Transdisciplinary Practices on Migration Topic: The Case of “Migrations in Art – the Art of Migrations”
Authors: Jovanović Nataša
Published: April 2023

In this paper, I will deal with transdisciplinary artistic and media practices on the example of a project “Migrations in Art – the Art of Migrations” that was realized by the Gallery of Matica Srpska in Novi Sad, Serbia. This project is a good example of interdisciplinary connection on the topic of migration, a topic that I also deal with in my Ph.D. dissertation. I would especially like to refer to the new theoretical and sociological readings in this example and the way in which certain practices have been applied and linked in this project. I will also show why this approach is very important for understanding the way the issue of migrants and migration are presented in the media and in artistic practice, which significantly implies the presentation of this very important 21st-century issue. I would try to shift the focus toward migrant corridors and new tendencies in art projects that provide “flashbacks” to the past and search for connective tissue with the present.

Published: April 2023

Renewable Energy Sources (RES) using PV arrays are considered and extensively employed in today’s world. Islanding is an issue that happens when The RES is connected to the grid and unexpected circuit breakers are connected to the grid trip. It is necessary to notice the islanding condition in two seconds according to IEEE standards. This manuscript proposed an effectual hybrid system for islanding detection of Solar PhotoVoltaic (SPV) based distributed generation system. The proposed technique is a hybrid combination of Gradient Boosting Decision Tree (GBDT) and Jelly Fish Search algorithm (JS) known as GBDT-JS Techniques. The main concept of this paper is to diminish the Non‐Detection Zone (NDZ) and maintain output power quality. These objectives are achieved by the proposed hybrid technique considering the Rate Of Change Of Frequency (ROCOF) at the target DG position is employed by the input assigned for the RF system in intelligent islanding detection. Here, Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) is employed for extracting intrinsic features among islanding and grid disturbance along GBDT. Also, the JS algorithm is used in the classification of islanding and grid disturbance. To find the feasibility of the proposed system various conditions such as different loads, switch operation, and network conditions are tested. In the validation of the proposed system MATLAB/Simulink working platform is utilized.

La presente investigación analiza la construcción del enemigo interno durante el gobierno de Belaúnde Terry (1980-1985). En este periodo, en el Perú, se originó la subversión de carácter maoísta del Partido Comunista del Perú, Sendero Luminoso (PCP-SL), hecho que trastocó toda la política peruana del momento. En 1980 el Perú podía considerarse un país con una democracia parlamentaria. Tanto en el periodo anterior del Gobierno Revolucionario de las Fuerzas Armadas ,así como durante la segunda mitad del siglo XIX, existió una línea política en la cultura política peruana basada en el énfasis por la modernización del Perú, en otras palabras: en la alabanza del progreso y de la civilización. Tales principios fueron utilizados por el gobierno de Belaúnde Terry para crear el discurso sobre el enemigo interno contra todo aquello sospechoso de ser terrorista, además de justificar la “guerra sucia” y la excepcionalidad jurídica. Así pues, el Estado peruano configuró a su enemigo como foráneo al Estado-nación, a sus ideas; llegando a afirmar que la subversividad no era peruana y estaba organizada por fuerzas extranjeras. Todos estos elementos se manifestaron rápidamente en los discursos de Belaúnde Terry, caracterizados por una retórica beligerante contra cualquier tipo de oposición, al mismo tiempo que alentaba la peruanización y nacionalización de los territorios donde radicaba la subversión maoísta.
“Doctrina de la seguridad nacional, dispositivos de inteligencia y prácticas represivas de los agentes de castigos en la Argentina del terrorismo de Estado, 1976 a 1983.”
Authors: Román Yáñez César Manuel
Published: April 2023

En estas primeras dos décadas del siglo XXI, los estudios sobre las víctimas de la última dictadura argentina crecieron hasta ocupar un lugar central tanto en campo de las ciencias sociales y políticas como de prácticas terapéuticas, simbólicas y memorísticas. No obstante, y sin que la víctima haya abandonado su relevancia como eje temático, se ha venido acrecentando el interés por el análisis de los perpetradores. En tal sentido, durante la década del setenta las formas de la inteligencia militar van adoptando modelos represivos cada vez más sofisticados centrados en la doctrina de la seguridad nacional y en la formación de ramas nuevas del aparato represivo: los centros de exterminios y los grupos de tareas. Así pues doctrina de seguridad, centros de exterminios y grupos de tareas se convertirán en el centro nodal estratégico del terrorismo de Estado en la Argentina. Sin embargo, los argumentos doctrinarios no derivaron en un proceder diáfano respecto de las prácticas represivas. Existieron un conjunto de discontinuidades, de oblicuidades, en las que en las prácticas se manifestaron en ritos y lenguajes por fuera de lo prescripto. Este modelo represivo se halla anclado en la doctrina de la seguridad pero tiene componentes consuetudinarios que le son inherentes e históricos.
«Salvaguardar dentro de la Ley el interés general». La declaración del estado de excepción durante la dictadura franquista.
Authors: Nogueira Castro Jessica
Published: April 2023

«La ilegal paralización del trabajo en determinadas minas de carbón y otras empresas, impone la necesidad de salvaguardar dentro de la Ley, el interés general». Así empezaba el preámbulo del Decreto Ley aprobado en mayo de 1962, en el curso de la oleada de huelgas en las cuencas mineras de todo el estado, donde se recogía la causa y la justificación de la declaración formal del estado de excepción. Desde 1956 hasta 1975 el régimen franquista recurrió en sucesivas ocasiones al decreto formal del estado de excepción como necesidad para controlar la ruptura del orden público por un enemigo interior subversivo y antiespañol. El propósito de este artículo es reflexionar en torno a la paradoja de que un estado de excepción como el franquista recurra a una disposición legal que lo que pretende es ahondar en la excepcionalidad, empero queriendo manifestar su naturaleza externa a la norma. La búsqueda de un armazón de legalidad fue un objetivo que el Estado franquista persiguió a lo largo de su existencia en aras de crear la apariencia de Estado de Derecho, del que adolecía en todas sus dimensiones. Ahora bien, su intención «maquilladora» no implico cambios estructurales en un sentido aperturista, al contrario, en ningún momento el Estado dejó de reforzar sus aparatos represivos.
Paradigmas e modulações dos estados de exceção
Authors: Silva Vinícius Félix da , Gasparetto Júnior Antonio
Published: April 2023

A existência não de um, mas de vários estados de exceção, impõe ao pesquisador o desafio de buscar por elementos formais, materiais e contextuais de convergência, para promover um diálogo proveitoso entre as distintas vertentes de investigação sobre a matéria. Este artigo busca contribuir nesse sentido, por meio de um exercício de construção e aplicação metodológica, abordando os estados de exceção por uma perspectiva paradigmatológica, baseada, formalmente, em Hall (1993) e Wilder e Howlett (2013) e, materialmente, em Agamben (2004), explorando a ideia de modulação da excepcionalidade em diferentes níveis paradigmáticos. Além do resultado imediato de um quadro de hipóteses de referência sobre os estados de exceção ‒ que pode se mostrar proveitoso como elemento para comunicação e integração teórica entre diferentes vertentes de pesquisa – é apresentado um exercício de sua aplicação metodológica na análise dos instrumentos de exceção identificados em Agamben, em termos da modulação da excepcionalidade em sete dimensões pelas quais obtêm sua especificidade.

Objetivo: Investigar a prevalência de PNDS (polineuropatia distal simétrica) e/ou dor neuropática entre indivíduos com obesidade e fatores metabólicos. Métodos: Estudo transversal, descritivo, observacional, realizado em hospital público do DF. Incluídos indivíduos com IMC ≥ 30 kg/m², ≥ 18 anos. Os testes para o diagnóstico de PNDS foram realizados por meio de aplicativo que verifica sintomas neuropáticos, testes clínicos para fibras nervosas finas e grossas e uso da escala visual analógica (EVA). Resultados: O estudo envolveu 31 participantes, idade média 44,19 (±12,88), 27 mulheres (87,1%), IMC 42,44 (±5,89), 22 (71%) com pré-DM ou DM. Observou-se correlação significativa com a presença de PNDS em indivíduos mais velhos (p<0.001), maior tempo de obesidade (p = 0.004), presença de pré-DM ou DM2 (p = 0.045), uso de estatina (p = 0.0001) e valor mais elevado da EVA (8 versus 6, p=0,046). Conclusão: Foi encontrado associação de PNDS e obesidade em indivíduos mais velhos e mais longa duração da doença, pré-DM ou DM2, em tratamento para dislipidemia e com escore mais alto para dor neuropática. O estudo alerta, pela primeira vez em nosso meio, para a necessidade de rastreamento de PNDS em pessoas com obesidade mesmo sem alteração da glicemia.

Objetivo: Verificar o conhecimento e estratégias de capacitação dos enfermeiros acerca dos cuidados paliativos em pacientes terminais. Métodos: Trata-se de uma revisão integrativa, de cunho qualitativo e exploratório. A busca textual ocorreu nos meses de julho e agosto do ano de 2022, por meio das seguintes bases de dados: Base de Dados em Enfermagem (BDENF), Literatura Latino-Americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde (LILACS), Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO), PuBMed, Acervo+ Index base e o Google Acadêmico. Foram utilizados os descritores registrados nos Descritores em Ciências da Saúde (DeCS): Cuidados Paliativos, Conhecimento, Capacitação Profissional e Enfermeiros, também se utilizou os operadores booleanos and/e or/ou. Foram identificados 40 estudos na pesquisa, dentre esses, 20 selecionados para o artigo. Resultados: Percebe-se que a formação em Cuidados Paliativos na graduação em saúde ainda é considerada insuficiente, pois a ausência de uma disciplina específica e capacitação profissional contínua do tema impede os profissionais de proporcionar a melhor assistência possível. Considerações finais: Apesar de ser uma profissão essencial na prestação de cuidados paliativos, se faz necessário a expansão do ensino e da qualificação dos profissionais acerca dos cuidados paliativos para garantir uma assistência de qualidade para os pacientes paliativos.
Rates of cerebrospinal fluid leak and pseudomeningocele formation after posterior fossa craniotomy versus craniectomy: A systematic review and meta-analysis
Authors: Alhantoobi Mohamed Rashed , Kesserwan Mohamad Ali , Khayat Hassan A. , Lawasi Mohammad , Sharma Sunjay
Published: April 2023

Background:

Postoperative cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak is a major concern after posterior fossa surgery with significant clinical implications. It has been postulated that replacing the bone flap, performing a craniotomy, would reinforce the surgical closure and decrease rates of CSF leak. This systematic review and meta-analysis compared the rate of CSF leak after posterior fossa craniotomies versus craniectomies.

Methods:

Three databases were searched for English studies comparing the primary outcome, rate of CSF leak, after adult posterior fossa craniotomies versus craniectomies. Secondary outcomes included the rate of postoperative pseudomeningocele formation, CSF leak and pseudomeningocele formation, CSF diversion, revision surgery, and infection. Pooled estimates and relative risks for dichotomous outcomes were calculated using Review Manager 5.4, with corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs).

Results:

A total of 1250 patients (635 craniotomies and 615 craniectomies), from nine studies, were included in the final analysis. Even though rates of CSF leak favored craniotomies, the difference did not reach statistical significance in our pooled analysis (Risk Ratio: 0.71, 95% Confidence Interval: 0.45-1.14, p-value = 0.15, Heterogeneity I-squared = 0%). On the other hand, comparing the rates of pseudomeningocele formation and CSF leak, as a combined outcome, or pseudomeningocele formation only showed a significant difference favoring craniotomies. The quality of evidence in this meta-analysis was graded as having a high risk of bias based on the risk of bias in non-randomized studies - of exposure criteria.

Conclusion:

Based on evidence with high risk of bias, rates of postoperative CSF leak and pseudomeningocele formation favored posterior fossa craniotomies over craniectomies. Further research with more robust methodology is required to validate these findings.
Anterior cerebral artery dissection for a patient with ipsilateral aplastic or twig-like middle cerebral artery: An illustrative case report
Authors: Terakado Toshitsugu , Matsumaru Yuji , Ishikawa Eiichi
Published: April 2023

Background:

An aplastic or twig-like middle cerebral artery (Ap/T-MCA) is a rare anomaly, which sometimes causes ischemic infarction. Collateral flow from the ipsilateral anterior cerebral artery (ACA) is important for patients with Ap/T-MCA. If ipsilateral ACA stenosis or occlusion occurs, a large infarction with a wider field than the ACA territory could happen. First, mechanical thrombectomy was performed for the right ACA near occlusion caused by arterial dissection with ipsilateral Ap/T-MCA in this case. Second, Wingspan stenting was performed for the right ACA restenosis.

Case Description:

A 77-year-old female presented to the hospital with the left hemiparesis. We diagnosed a right ACA infarction caused by right ACA occlusion. Digital subtraction angiography showed right Ap/T-MCA and ipsilateral ACA near occlusion. Thrombectomy was performed, and recanalization was achieved with mild ACA stenosis. The lesion was the dissection due to angiographical finding. Two months after treatment, transient left hemiparesis occurred and right ACA stenosis progressed. Computed tomography perfusion showed hypoperfusion of the right hemisphere. Wingspan stenting was performed from the left internal carotid artery through the anterior communicating artery with an intermediate catheter. The patient was discharged without any neurological deficit.

Conclusion:

We reported the first case of a patient who underwent Wingspan stenting for the right ACA dissection with Ap/T-MCA. Short-term follow-up and aggressive intervention should be considered for collateral pathway dissection with Ap/T-MCA because the symptoms can become serious. The patients with Ap/T-MCA should be cautious about the collateral pathway arterial changes in particular ipsilateral ACA due to the increasing hemodynamic stress.
