Multidrug resistant infections in intensive care units
Authors: Andonovska Biljana , Kotevska Vesna , Andonovski Alan
Published: January 2021

Background: Intensive care units (ICU) are often the epicentre of development of infections caused by multidrug-resistant (MDR) organisms. Purpose: The aim of our study was to determine the prevalence and types of ICU-acquired infections, pathogens associated with such infections and to determine the antibiotic resistance pattern of the presented pathogens. Material and methods: In the study were included 130 patients hospitalized into the surgical ICU of the University Clinic for Anesthesiology and Intensive Care in Skopje in period of 2 months, April -Jun, 2017., who developed infection after at least 72 hours of their hospitalization. In all of them the pathogens and their antibiotic resistance pattern were identified. Results: Twenty of 130 (15.4%) patients developed ICU-acquired infection. Most common infections were pneumonia (50%) and surgical site (30%) infections. Gram-negative organisms were more commonly isolated than Gram-positive organisms (83% vs.17%). The most common isolated bacteria were Acinetobacter species (30, 41.7%) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (15, 20.8%). All isolated species were MDR organisms resistant to the most used antibiotics like Cephalosporins, Gentamicin, Ciprofloxacin and Clindamycin. Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Acinetobacter species were sensitive to Colistin, Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) to Vancomycin and Linezolid and Enterococcus only to Linezolid. Klebsiella pneumoniae and Proteus mirabilis showed low resistance only to Amikacin and Carbapenems. Conclusions: Our study obtained local data about the prevalence and types of ICU-acquired infections, types of pathogens and their antibiotic resistance pattern. Based on this knowledge, clinicians can choose appropriate antibiotics, avoiding antibacterial drug overuse and MDR bacteria development.

Published: January 2021

Introduction: The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between clinical features, sleep quality, fatigue and mental symptoms in epileptic patients. Material and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted at epilepsy outpatient clinic of Bozyaka Training and Research Hospital. 81 patients who were followed up for the diagnosis of epilepsy were included in the study. The patients were administered a sociodemographic data form, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, Beck Depression Inventory, Fatigue Severity Scale. Results: The median age of the patients included in the study was 37.42 (51.9%) were women and 39 (48.1%) were men with an education period of 8 years. There was no previous family history of psychiatric illness. Seizure control was achieved in 34 (42%) patients. 53 (65.4%) patients were observed for focal type, 28 (34.6%) patients were for generalized type seizures. The median duration of epilepsy was 13 years. The median Beck Depression Inventory score of the patients was 13, and the number of patients with a Beck Depression Inventory score higher than 19 was 25 (30.9%). There was mild tiredness in 47 (58%) and chronic fatigue in 16 (19.8%) patients. The median of Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index total score was 4 and 18.5% (15) had poor sleep quality. Chronic fatigue was higher in epilepsy patients without seizure control compared to those with seizure control (p = 0.001). Conclusion: The rate of patients with moderate and severe depression is high in our study. This indicates the significance of evaluating the diagnosis of depression in epilepsy patients. In the follow-up of these patients, it is crucial to investigate the causes of fatigue and depression carefully. Especially psychiatric expert opinion and multidisciplinary follow-up should be carried out without ignoring the presence of depression.

Published: January 2021

Objective: The usage of synthetic cannabinoids (SCs) has increased both in Turkey and all worldwide. Here, we evaluate if SCs cause ventricular repolarization abnormalities using initial and after 12th-hour electrocardiograms in patients with acute intoxication of SCs. We examined changes in the QTc and cTp-e parameters to demonstrate ventricular repolarization effects of the usage of SCs. Material and Methods: We used a prospective study design. Twenty patients were included who visited the emergency department, complaining of clouding of consciousness after using SCs. The QT, QTc and Tp-e intervals and several other electrocardiographic parameters were measured at baseline and 12 hours after the usage of SCs. Results: The QRS duration was significantly decreased (102.1 ± 15.5 ms vs 95.0 ± 10.7 ms; p = 0.022). We noted a significant decrease in cQT measurements at the end of the 12th hour (426.6 ± 47.2 ms vs 390.4 ± 42.9 ms; p = 0.002). Similarly, the Tp-e and cTp-e values decreased significantly when SCs lost its acute effect (93.4 ± 21.1 ms vs 77.4 ± 21.0 ms; p = 0.014, 105.3 ± 28.5 ms vs 88.1 ± 21.5 ms; p = 0.01). Conclusions: The usage of SCs affects ventricular repolarization heterogeneity based on QTc and Tp-e intervals

Published: January 2021

El concepto legal y político de la separación iglesia-estado es una de las medidas que se establecen en los estados de carácter laico, incluyendo la economía. La separación no existe en los países que se rigen por la ley islámica, denominada sharía. Un aspecto de actualidad es la aparición de las criptomonedas y su cuestionamiento debido a su carácter especulativo: ¿halal o haram? Es un aspecto de actualidad entre reguladores, bancos centrales y autoridades. Una posible solución con el cumplimiento de los preceptos musulmanes es OneGram (OGC), la cual fue reconocida como el mejor producto financiero islámico del 2018 en los Global Islamic Finance Awards.
Piedade (éleos) e a necessidade da guerra na Ilíada de Homero
Authors: Werner Christian
Published: January 2021

O número de conflitos com as mais diferentes causas (geopolíticas, econômicas, sociais, religiosas, étnicas etc.) que, pela sua violência e/ou por razões retóricas, são rotulados como guerra (amiúde do bem contra o mal) só faz aumentar. Tendo em vista esse contexto contemporâneo, proponho discutir se e como a Ilíada, poema no qual a Guerra de Troia é pensada como uma forma de retribuição ou vingança, abre certos espaços de ação (livre?) externos à necessidade da aniquilação do outro intrínseca a tal enfrentamento bélico, em particular, manifestações de piedade em relação ao inimigo.
Namoro e liberdade amorosa no Ocidente grego segundo a iconografia dos vasos italiotas (séc. V-IV a.C.)
Authors: Vergara Cerqueira Fábio
Published: January 2021

Entre o último terço do século V e as primeiras décadas do século III a.C., desenvolveu-se no sudeste da Itália uma importante indústria cerâmica. Os chamados “vasos italiotas”, de tradição grega, foram produzidos inicialmente nas cidades gregas da costa do Mar Jônico (Metaponto, Tarento) e, a partir de meados do séc. IV, também nos núcleos urbanos indígenas mais desenvolvidos (e.g. Canosa, Ruvo). As cenas de namoro heterossexual, raramente representadas na iconografia ática, evoluem na pintura dos vasos ápulos para cenas de intensas carícias entre os amantes, expressas por meio de uma linguagem visual erótica muito rica, em que noivo e noiva estão muito próximos fisicamente, incluindo abraços e beijos. Essa nova erótica resulta de um ambiente repleto de trocas culturais, que caracteriza o mundo colonial grego.

L’oikonomia au-dela de l’économie : un savoir et une pratique de la liberté
Authors: Helmer Étienne
Published: January 2021

Selon une interprétation courante, les traités des philosophes grecs portant sur l’économie domestique (oikonomia) n’accorderaient à celle-ci aucune importance théorique, et la relégueraient dans le domaine de la nécessité et du besoin, loin de toute considération relative aux valeurs et au Bien. Contre cette interprétation, je propose de montrer que la réflexion des philosophes grecs sur les phénomènes et les activités humaines tournées vers la satisfaction des appétits dans le cadre de l’oikonomia a réservé une place centrale à la question du Bien, et donné un rôle central à l’articulation problématique du désir et de la liberté.
Theatrum mundi: filologia e imitação
Authors: Cardoso Isabella Tardin
Published: January 2021

Este artigo trata de aspectos da Filologia Clássica (aqui entendida lato sensu, designando a área no Brasil também referida como Letras Clássicas, ou Estudos Clássicos) que podem ser concebidos como fatores mais amplos no vasto domínio das artes e ciências. Por meio de um estudo do tópos literário e filosófico do “teatro do mundo” (theatrum mundi), a imitação é aqui apreciada como objeto da investigação filológica e como um princípio que estrutura suas atividades. Uma breve análise de uma passagem da comédia plautina O soldado fanfarrão (Mil. 200-215) oferece uma amostra de como a imitação do objeto se evidencia em diferentes abordagens metodológicas e tarefas filológicas, tais como o estabelecimento do texto em uma edição crítica e sua interpretação. O fato de que seu objeto, seus procedimentos e resultados são necessariamente construídos pelo pesquisador, e sempre provisórios, é uma das características que a Filologia Clássica compartilha com outros campos acadêmicos – não apenas as ciências do texto, mas também as outras ciências humanas e exatas – bem como com as artes dramáticas.
Artes, perenidade, novidade e memória sob Augusto
Authors: Martins Paulo
Published: January 2021

Este artigo opera a relação entre a arte plástica produzida, a partir do culto imperial de Otávio Augusto, e as tópicas da perenidade e da novidade observadas pela poesia augustana. Essa arte plástica, que era útil ao serviço de Augusto, opera imortalidade e memória do princeps. A poesia não só reverbera a poesia grega antiga e helenística como também é dependente daquela produzida pelos poetae noui. O novo estilo plástico, por sua vez, distancia-se da arte plástica republicana e aproxima-se daquela produzida na Grécia clássica e helenística. O trabalho também se ocupa da compreensão de como a imagem do poeta, agente de sua arte, interage com a figura imortal de Augusto, agente da imortalidade da urbs, de sua arquitetura e de seus lugares sagrados.

The formation of the leaf surface of white melilot (Melilotus albus) depending on fertilization, seed mix and seeding rate
Authors: DEMYDAS GRIGORIY , ZAKHLEBAEV MAXIM , SHUVAR IVAN , LIPIŃSKA HALINA , WYŁUPEK TERESA
Published: December 2020

The study objective was to analyze the formation of the leaf surface of white melilot (Melilotus albus) cultivated in pure sowing and mixes with annual cereals, with varying seeding rates for this species and varying fertilization levels. White melilot was sown in pure sowing and mixes with maize, millet, Sudan grass, and sorghum, with four seeding rates (16, 18, 20, and 22 kg ha–1). Four doses of fertilization with NPK were used in the investigations (0 – control treatment without fertilization, N45P45K45, N60P60K60, and N60P90K90). The leaves’ surface was assessed through scanning on the 30th, 40th, and 50th day after the germination of white melilot and in the period of its readiness for mowing (64th day). White melilot leaves were separated from the stems and placed in a transparent folder with a 25 cm calibration square, then scanned with a flatbed scanner in black-and-white mode. The obtained image was analyzed in Areas software, the built-in analytical tools of which were used to determine the area of the scanned leaves. After determining each plant’s leaf surface, the mean for each variant of the experiment was calculated, and then, using the concentration of plants per 1 m2, the mean M. albus leaf surface per hectare was obtained. The investigations demonstrated that the surface of white melilot leaves varied depending on the mix’s component, the seeding rate for this species, and the fertilization doses. Depending on the seeding rate (16, 18, 20, and 22 kg ha–1), one plant’s mean leaf surface area was as follows: 0.014115, 0.013955, 0.013824, and 0.013654 m2. The smallest M. albus leaf surface area per hectare was recorded in treatments without components (pure sowing) and with the highest seeding rate for this species’ seeds. The significantly the largest leaf surface area was observed in treatments where M. albus was sown in 16 kg ha–1, in a mix with Sudan grass and maize. Millet was the component with the strongest negative effect on this parameter, with each of the M. albus seeding rates used. Typically, the studied species’ leaf surface area was successively decreasing by 2 to 11% as the seeding rate increased. When mineral fertilizers were introduced, the species under study's leaf surface area was increasing by 7 to 16% as the fertilization rate increased. Considering the mean values for the study period, the largest area of white melilot leaves (in the period of readiness for cutting) was recorded in a mixed treatment of white melilot with Sudan grass, i.e., 52.3 thousand m2 ha–1 with fertilization of N60P90K90 and seeding rate of 16 kg ha–1.
PERMUTATIONS WITH A DISTINCT DIVISOR PROPERTY
Authors: JAVAHERI Mohammad , KRYLOV Nikolai A.
Published: January 2021

A finite group of order $n$ is said to have the distinct divisor pro-perty (DDP) if there exists a permutation $g_1,\ldots, g_n$ of its elements such that $g_i^{-1}g_{i+1} \neq g_j^{-1}g_{j+1}$ for all $1\leq i<j<n$. We show that an abelian group is DDP if and only if it has a unique element of order 2. We also describe a construction of DDP groups via group extensions by abelian groups and show that there exist infinitely many non abelian DDP groups.
THE LOEWY SERIES OF AN FCP (DISTRIBUTIVE) RING EXTENSION
Authors: PICAVET Gabriel , PICAVET-L'HERMITTE Martine
Published: January 2021

If $R\subseteq S$ is an extension of commutative rings, we consider the lattice $([R,S],\subseteq)$ of all the $R$-subalgebras of $S$.

We assume that the poset $[R,S]$ is both Artinian and Noetherian; that is, $R\subseteq S$ is an FCP extension.

The Loewy series of such lattices are studied. Most of main results are gotten in case these posets are distributive,

which occurs for integrally closed extensions. In general, the situation is much more complicated. We give a discussion for finite field extensions.

MODULES FOR WHICH EVERY ENDOMORPHISM HAS A NON-TRIVIAL INVARIANT SUBMODULE
Authors: BENSLIMANE Mohamed , EL CUERA Hanane , TRIBAK Rachid
Published: January 2021

All rings are commutative. Let $M$ be a module. We introduce the property $({\bf P})$: Every endomorphism of $M$ has a non-trivial invariant submodule. We determine the structure of all vector spaces having $({\bf P})$ over any field and all semisimple modules satisfying $({\bf P})$ over any ring. Also, we provide a structure theorem for abelian groups having this property. We conclude the paper by characterizing the class of rings for which every module satisfies $({\bf P})$ as that of the rings $R$ for which $R/\mathfrak{m}$ is an algebraically closed field for every maximal ideal $\mathfrak{m}$ of $R$.
ON $(m,n)$-CLOSED IDEALS IN AMALGAMATED ALGEBRA
Authors: ISSOUAL Mohammed , MAHDOU Najib , MOUTUI Moutu Abdou Salam
Published: January 2021

Let $R$ be a commutative ring with $1 \ne 0$ and let $m$ and

$n$ be integers with $1\leq n < m$. A proper ideal $I$ of $R$ is

called an $(m, n)$-closed ideal of $R$ if whenever $a^m \in I$ for

some $a\in R$ implies $a^n \in I$. Let $ f:A\rightarrow B$ be a

ring homomorphism and let $J$ be an ideal of $B.$ This paper

investigates the concept of $(m,n)$-closed ideals in the

amalgamation of $A$ with $B$ along $J$ with respect $f$ denoted by

$A\bowtie^{f}J$. Namely, Section 2 investigates this notion to

some extensions of ideals of $A$ to $A\bowtie^fJ$. Section 3

features the main result, which examines when each proper ideal of

$A\bowtie^fJ$ is an $(m,n)$-closed ideal. This allows us to give

necessary and sufficient conditions for the amalgamation to

inherit the radical ideal property with applications on the

transfer of von Neumann regular, $\pi$-regular and semisimple

properties.

Parent perspectives on food allergy management and safety during the COVID-19 pandemic
Authors: Russell Anne F. , Kagan Olga S. , Huber Mary M.
Published: January 2021

Background: U.S. national emergency was declared in mid-March 2020 due to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Subsequently, a period of stay-at-home orders, regulatory changes, evolving medical recommendations, and food supply chain disruptions occurred. There
is little published research on how such changes affected food allergy management for children with this diagnosis. Objective: The study goal was to identify parent perspectives with regard to if and/or how pandemic-related regulatory changes and evolving medical recommendations
have affected food allergy management. Methods: A survey was distributed to parents of children with food allergy. An electronic Internet forms survey link was available for completion during July 2020. Data were presented as descriptive statistics, cleaned, and coded into
a spreadsheet before analysis . Frequencies and percentage were calculated to describe participants’ characteristics and responses. Results: Of 377 responses, 359 met inclusion criteria. Concerns about COVID-19 exposure were expressed in 65.7% about accessing an emergency
department and 73.6% had school reentry concerns; 66% had not discussed recommended anaphylaxis management algorithm changes with a provider; 85.8% had not discussed the temporary U.S. Food and Drug Administration food labeling policy with a provider. Most (62%) reported shortages of preferred
safe food brands. 62% spent more time cooking safe foods from scratch. With regard to the recommendation by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) for classroom dining, 57.7% planned to request modifications. With regard to the CDC’s recommendation to use inhalers
versus nebulizers, 37.7% had not discussed the topic with a provider. Ninety-two written comments were analyzed and grouped into seven themes. Conclusion: New pandemic-related regulations, food supply chain disruptions, and evolving medical recommendations resulted in intensified
burdens for respondents, including the increased time needed to complete food allergy management and school reentry concerns. Study results can inform clinical team members (e.g., physicians, nurses, dieticians) of effects that pandemic-related changes may have on this patient population,
with subsequent consideration of patient-specific screening, education, and shared decision-making with regard to risk mitigation needs.

Model Cities for Resilience: Climate-led Initiatives
Authors: Yilmaz Didem Gunes
Published: January 2021

Paris Agreement of December 2015 was the last official initiative led by the United Nations (UN) as the driver of climate change mitigation. Climate change was hence linked with an increase in the occurrence of natural hazards. A variety of initiatives were consequently adopted under different themes such as sustainable cities, climate-friendly development, and low-carbon cities.  However, most of the initiatives targeted by global cities with urban areas being the focus in terms of taking action against global warming issues.  This is due to the structural and environmental features of cities characterized by being populated, as such, they not only generate a large number of carbon emissions but also happens to be the biggest consumer of natural resources. In turn, they create a microclimate, which contributes to climate change. Masdar City, for example, was designed as the first fully sustainable urban area, which replaced fuel-based energy with electric-based energy. China, as another example, introduced the Sponge Cities action, a method of urban water management to mitigate against flooding.  Consequently, architects and urban planners are urged to conform to the proposals that would mitigate global warming. This paper, as a result, examines some of the models that have been internationally adopted and thereafter provide recommendations that can be implemented in large urban areas in Turkey, primarily in Istanbul.
Urban Land-use and Traffic Congestion: Mapping the Interaction
Authors: Kanyepe James , Tukuta Marian , Chirisa Innocent
Published: January 2021

The interaction between transport, land-uses and travel patterns produce diverse transportation problems in urban cities with traffic congestion as the most visible manifestation. Traffic congestion is a frequent phenomenon in most cities around the globe. This paper reviews the interaction between land-use traffic congestion through published literature. The objective of this study is to encourage and provide researchers with future research directions in land-use and traffic congestion. For this purpose, a systematic review was performed analysing 45 articles from the year 2010 to 2020 using a descriptive approach. Subsequently, the results of the study show that although the interaction between land-use and traffic congestion has gained currency in developed countries far less is known on this subject in developing parts of the world, though new evidence is steadily accumulating. Consequently, limitations of this work are presented, opportunities are identified for future lines of research. Finally, the conclusion confirms the need for further research addressing the methodological concerns.
An Approach for Power Loss Reduction in Radial Distribution Networks

Published: December 2020

The loss power of distribution systems is increasingly more and more due to the increase of demand load from industrial zones and households as well as extended grids. For solving the problem, a strategy that can be regarded as a simple and effective way to allocate capacitor banks to the distribution systems. In the paper, a marine predator optimization algorithm (MPOA) is applied for determining the best size of capacitors and the most advantageous buses for the capacitors. The effectiveness of MPOA is scrutinized on two distribution systems considering the number of different integrated capacitors. The solutions found from MPOA are coped with those of recently available algorithms. Through the comparisons with previous studies, a conclusion is drawn that MPOA is a trustworthy method. This is an Open Access article distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution License (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/), which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium provided the original work is properly cited.
La tierra en Rapa Nui. La política del parentesco y los dispositivos estatales. Consensos y disensos en la definición de la propiedad
Authors: Muñoz Diego
Published: December 2020

Uno de los asuntos centrales en las relaciones entre la sociedad rapanui y el Estado chileno concierne a la propiedad de la tierra y las formas de su transmisión. Se analiza aquí la configuración histórica de la propiedad en Hanga Roa, tanto desde el punto de vista rapanui como estatal, y los mecanismos mediante los cuales esta ha sido transmitida en el seno de la comunidad rapanui. Hemos buscado en un corpus de 2.000 documentos oficiales de inscripción de derechos de tierras las cadenas de parentesco que unen a las personas involucradas en las transferencias de derechos. Este análisis abarca noventa años de aplicación de los instrumentos estatales y nos permite identificar las lógicas de acción rapanui en la adquisición y transmisión de la propiedad.
