As Fístulas Coronarianas (FC) são entidades clínicas raras, caracterizadas pela comunicação anômala de um trajeto oriundo de um vaso coronário, porém com potencial de grande morbimortalidade em alguns casos. Podem ter diversas manifestações, decorrentes, principalmente, das sobrecargas camerais advindas do fluxo resultante do trajeto fistuloso ou isquemia do leito distalmente irrigado pelo vaso afetado. O exame com maior acurácia para o diagnóstico ainda é a angiografia, que, inclusive, ajuda na melhor definição do tratamento a ser escolhido nos casos indicados: cirurgia ou abordagem percutânea. Apesar de raras e potencialmente graves, as FCs têm opções de tratamento com perfis de segurança e eficácia bem estabelecidos, com resultados satisfatórios se adequadamente indicados em tempo correto.

Published: December 2022

Ao longo da história do magistério, fomos percebendo sua transformação para um espaço majoritariamente feminino. Esta dissertação é resultado de uma análise documental das Revistas do Ensino do RS, do período compreendido entre 1969 a 1976, que encontram-se disponíveis no Repositório Digital TATU da Universidade Federal do Pampa, em que se objetivou identificar as representações sociais das professoras neste importante periódico da área educacional. Para tanto, foram analisados 18 exemplares que continham subseções relacionadas à educação para o lar, saúde e alimentação, assim como matérias que faziam referência à Reforma Educacional que vigorou a partir de 1971 e também sobre a professora primária. Desta análise, foram extraídas quatro categorias e representações de professoras do ensino primário, que as vinculam à figura materna, às figuras da área da saúde, educação sexual e a figuras criativas e modernizadoras com objetivo de formar cidadãos obedientes e ligados a valores morais e religiosos, capazes de trabalhar pelo desenvolvimento do país, além também, da conclusão de que a Revista do Ensino do RS contribuiu para a reprodução dos estereótipos de gênero e dessas representações produzidas culturalmente.

مثلت تجربة التحول الديمقراطي في تونس حالة فريدة في المنطقة العربية قبلما يتعرض مسارها للانحراف والتعثر. وتمثل الأزمة السياسية الحالية التي تشهدها تونس أكثر اللحظات اضطرابًا. تهدف الدراسة لتسليط الضوء على أسباب فشل عملية التحول الديمقراطي في تونس، والدروس التي يمكن استخلاصها من هذه التجربة. واعتمدت الدراسة على تعريف مفهوم التحول الديمقراطي كمدخل نظري، وعلى المنهج الوصفي التحليلي لوصف وتفسير ظاهرة فشل التحول الديمقراطي في تونس. تنتهي الدراسة لخلاصات مفادها أنه برغم توافر آليات التحول الديمقراطي المختلفة في تونس، مثل التداول السلمي للسلطة وضمانات الحقوق والحريات في الدساتير التونسية ووجود دستور توافقي ومؤسسات انتقالية تشاركية، إلا أن التجربة في تونس قد تعثرت. كما خلصت الدراسة لأهم الدروس التي يمكن استخلاصها من هذا التعثر، وتتمثل في: أهمية عامل التنمية الاقتصادية في تحقيق التحول الديمقراطي، وأن التداول السلمي للسلطة غير كاف لنجاح عملية التحول، إلى جانب ضرورة العمل على بناء توافقات حقيقية بين النخب والمعارضة، وأخيرًا أن غياب المؤسسات الدستورية قد يعيق التحول الديمقراطي.

Published: December 2022

Two decades into the current millennium, there are still questions about the status and situatedness of Africa in the global community. One central question about Africa is the historical footprint and arrangements of the colonial occupiers. From this standpoint, additional questions center on the lived experiences of Africans, especially in terms of the colonial impact on settlement arrangements and planning models. Several policy initiatives aim to empower and improve the African condition from the global to the continental levels. From the global context, the United Nations-inspired Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) (2000 to 2015) and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) (2015 to 2030) are instructive.

Published: December 2022

In Zimbabwe, ever since the government embarked on a disastrous land reform agenda in the early 2000s, the issue of land reform and its social-economic effects, such as relocating people, remained a bone of contention. Extensive research has shown that land reform laws and relocation approaches in some remote areas of Zimbabwe are politicised and not consistent and, therefore, catastrophic. However, most studies in land reform and resettlement have been limited, persistently focusing on the impacts and constitutionality of Zimbabwe’s 2000s land reform program. This study seeks to contribute to the land reform debate by examining the Zimbabwean government’s land reform and relocation activities between 2015 and 2021 using a case study of the Chilonga and Mazoe governmentled resettlement programmes. Three key empirical questions are asked - What are the government’s intended strategies when relocating the Chilonga and Mazoe people? Is there any resemblance with the colonial resettlement approaches? What legal instruments were used, and were they constitutionally justified? Data for this study was drawn mainly from a systematic review of documents and interviews with key informants and victims (n=40) of the government-led resettlements. Analysis shows that the government’s resettlement approaches bear a significant resemblance to the unconstitutional procedures the colonial government employed. We argue that the government’s post-2000 land reform laws, especially between 2015 and 2021, must be cleansed of the colonial elements that allow the government to manipulate the laws to suit their political needs at the expense of the general populace.

Launched in 2004, Tamesna is part of ‘New Cities / Cities Without Slums Program’. The first satellite city was established to provide affordable housing to low-income residents, and a site for the resettlement of slum residents from urban Rabat, the capital of Morocco. Currently, Tamesna City is far away from meeting the criteria of a satellite city. As a result, the social housing settlement / satellite city of Tamesna as a ‘hope city – space of exceptions and expectations’ in the beginning has become a dormitory – ghost town, a city with no signs of life. This article’s objective is describing the satellite town of Tamesna case in terms of contemporary satellite city and social housing concepts as governmental ‘reterritorialization’ implementations in post-colonial Morocco. Contextually, this article aims to contribute equally to the understanding of the governmental policy implications including international (incomplete) investments (as post-colonial imperialism) to discuss the reasons behind the ‘New Cities’ social housing & satellite city policies including removing the poor from the city to a designed – designated ‘nowhere’ by creating ‘useful / useless’ Morocco once again after colonial time period in the country. The methodology of the paper is based on literature reviews, research on documents obtained from the governmental archive, observations, and interviews with stakeholders, designers, planners and inhabitants.

Human Rights Aspects of the Acquisition of Agricultural Lands With Special Regard to the ECtHR Practice Concerning the So-Called “Visegrád Countries”, Romania, Slovenia, Croatia, and Serbia
Authors: Marinkás György
Published: December 2022

The aim of the current study is to examine how the national legal rules and judicial practice regarding the acquisition and holding of agricultural land are, in the case law of the European Court of Human Rights, linked to the right to property and the right to fair trial, as granted by Article 1 of the First Protocol to the European Convention on Human Rights and Article 6 (1) of the Convention. The study is focused on the land-related issues of the so-called “Visegrád Countries”—Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia—and some other selected neighboring countries, namely Romania, Slovenia, Croatia, and Serbia, all of which are member states of the Council of Europe. The author identified two main categories of legal issues, which are relevant in the selected countries or constitute a distinctive feature of these countries. The category of compensation-related cases can be divided into three main subcategories: cases where the compensation system established by the state after the change of regime displayed systematic shortcomings; cases where the earlier proprietors’ or their heirs’ interests clashed with those of third parties who acquired the property in good faith; and the so-called Slovakian “Gardener cases,” as the author named them, which display similarities with the second subcategory. The other main category is the issue of agricultural land acquisition by foreign natural or legal persons. However, the ECtHR’s case law is not that elaborated in this question as the case law of the Court of Justice of the European Union, since, contrary to EU law—which as a rule obliges member states to provide the free disposal of agriculture land—Article 1 of Protocol No. 1 does not create a right to acquire property. However, a national legislation that, alone among the CoE member states, implemented land reform programs with some blanket restrictions on the sale of agricultural land is incompatible with the provisions of Article 1 of Protocol No. 1.
Romania: Between Scylla of EU Law and Charybdis of National Interest : Belated Restrictions in the Land Market
Authors: Veress Emőd
Published: December 2022

The cross-border acquisition of agricultural lands in Romania was subject to recent modifications. The regime of the circulation of agricultural lands after the EU accession of this country was designed through the provisions of Act no. 17/2014 on some measures to regulate the sale of agricultural land located outside the built-up area. The act was adopted to ensure food security and protect national interests in the exploitation of natural resources. These goals are perfectly justified and foreshadow changes in the global environment that will affect social and economic arrangements in the future with great impact. Protecting agricultural land as a natural resource of central importance is a legitimate goal. However, the methods used must be carefully chosen to create a legal regime for the sale of agricultural land that both respects the requirements of European law and conforms to the national interest as far as possible. The current system, created by amending Act no. 17/2014 into Act no. 175/2020, in force since October 13, 2020, shaped a legal regime that raises more questions than the answers it offers to the real challenges outlined above.

Novice nurses’ attention to task-relevant stimuli during practice
Authors: Whyte James , Eccles David W. , Whyte Maria D.
Published: December 2022

Objective: Nurses engaged in practice make split-second decisions based on stimuli perceived in the clinical environment. There has been limited research in nursing on stimuli perception and limited research aimed specifically at directly measuring nurses’ gaze and the subsequent quality of their decisions.Methods: This study used an observational descriptive design to examine nurses’ gaze behaviors as they cared for a simulated patient in three different clinical scenarios. Participants were fitted with eye-tracking goggles that facilitated the recording on video of the focal point of their gaze. The recorded videos were coded to quantify the participants’ areas of focus. For each scenario, visual focus data were compared between participants who successfully resolved the scenarios and those who did not. Results: The results revealed statistically significant differences in areas of focus between successful and unsuccessful participants. While successful participants focused on the patient, unsuccessful participants focused on task-irrelevant environmental cues.Conclusions: The results demonstrate a need for nurse educators to focus their students on the patient, while guiding them to avoid becoming mired in task irrelevant foci and actions.
Body Mass Index and Risk of Complications After Posterior Lumbar Spine Fusion: A Matched Cohort Analysis Investigating Underweight and Obese Patients
Authors: Alsoof Daniel , Johnson Keir , McDonald Christopher L. , Daniels Alan H. , Cohen Eric M.
Published: December 2022

Objective:

Previous studies have demonstrated that obesity is associated with increased complications after lumbar fusion. However, there are little published data on the effect of being underweight on lumbar fusion outcomes. The purpose of this study was to elucidate the effect of being underweight versus obese on outcomes after lumbar spinal fusion.

Methods:

Lumbar spinal fusion patients were identified through the PearlDiver Mariner database between 2010 and 2020. Study groups were created using International Classification of Diseases codes to identify preoperative body mass index (BMI) category as morbid obesity (BMI > 40), obesity (BMI 30 to 40), normal BMI (BMI 20 to 30), and underweight (BMI < 20) cohorts. Complications that occurred within 1 year postoperatively in this study and matched control groups were then isolated. Statistical analyses were conducted using the Pearson chi square method.

Results:

A total of 62,616 patients were identified in this analysis. This included 1,258 underweight patients (4.0%), 17,996 obese patients (57.5%), and 12,054 morbidly obese patients (38.5%). The number of patients to experience any postoperative complication was 766 (60.9%), 9,440 (52.4%), and 6,982 (57.9%) for the underweight, obese, and morbidly obese cohorts, respectively. Underweight patients showed an increased likelihood of complications related to instrumentation (odds ratio [OR] 1.85, P = 0.0237), revision fusion (OR 1.34, P = 0.04061), pulmonary complications (OR 1.43, P < 0.001), and sepsis (OR 1.91, P < 0.001). Obese patients with BMI 30 to 40 showed increased odds of the following complications: hemorrhages and hematomas (OR 1.20, P = 0.02634), surgical site complications (OR 1.27, P < 0.001), thromboembolism (OR 1.78, P < 0.001), and urinary complications (OR 1.08, P < 0.001). Morbidly obese patients with BMI > 40 showed increased odds of all complications analyzed in this study.

Conclusion:

This investigation indicates that both underweight and obese patients are at elevated risk of complications after lumbar fusion. Similar to obese patients, underweight patients may benefit from preoperative optimization by nutrition counseling to avoid potential complications.

Is There Magic in the Text? Ritual in the Priestly Pentateuch and Other Ancient Near Eastern Literature
Authors: Hundley Michael B.
Published: December 2022

“Magic” is a term that continues to feature in popular and scholarly circles, yet scholars continue to disagree vehemently about its definition and utility. This article uses the various definitions of magic as lenses through which to compare the ritual texts of the Priestly Pentateuch, ancient Egypt, and ancient Mesopotamia. The results offered illumine both the texts and the scholars who interpret them. Regardless of the definition employed, the biblical and other ANE ritual texts are quite similar, leading to the conclusion that magic should not be used as a dividing line between biblical Priestly and other ANE ritual texts.

El artículo explora los principales nudos problemáticos a las que se enfrenta esta línea de estudios, poniendo el foco en el Estado y sus organismos, con el objetivo de examinar dichos problemas a la luz de algunos recorridos analíticos.
¿Desnaturalizados rabassers? La rabassa morta catalana antes de la filoxera
Authors: Garrido Samuel
Published: December 2022

La rabassa morta catalana fue uno de los muchos contratos de aparcería con indemnización por mejoras que se utilizaron en Europa antes de la Segunda Guerra Mundial para crear y cultivar viñedos. La visión predominante mantiene que su presencia tuvo fuertes repercusiones sobre el moderno desarrollo económico catalán y que ello fue compatible con el hecho de que, entre finales del siglo xviii y principios del siglo xx, los rabassers fuesen perdiendo estabilidad y derechos. Respecto a lo segundo, este artículo defiende que la situación no evolucionó de manera tan desfavorable para los cultivadores como suele creerse.

Published: December 2022

Upotreba fotozamki posljednjih petnaestak godina uobičajena je praksa brojnih studija vezanih uz istraživanje divljih životinja. Kamere se razlikuju veličinom, načinom napajanja i pohrane/slanja podataka, konstrukcijom, performansama i na koncu namjenom. U ovom su istraživanju uspoređena dva načina rada fotozamki u monitoringu divljih životinja (krupnih sisavaca) u Nacionalnom parku Plitvička jezera. Prvi je način rada ciklično snimanje svakih 30 min. Drugi je način rada snimanje po aktivaciji senzora pokreta. U šest mjeseci ukupno je snimljena 36 621 fotografija, od čega je 28 618 fotografija snimljeno cikličnim snimanjem, a 8003 snimljene su na temelju aktivacije senzora pokreta. Od cikličnih snimaka samo je 1 % fotografija iskoristivo (životinja koja je predmet istraživanja), dok je kod drugoga oblika snimanja 30 % fotografija bilo iskoristivo. Rezultati pokazuju značajne razlike između dvaju načina programiranja rada kamera u korist programiranja kamere da radi samo po aktivaciji senzora pokreta.
Utjecaj izgradnje hidroelektrana na rijeku Dravu

Rijeke su integralni dio tla, nastale u turbulentnim vremenima oblikovanja Zemlje, i mijenjale su se tijekom njezine povijesti. Raznolikost rijeka ne odražavaju samo različiti tipovi tla kroz koje one protječu nego ta raznolikost ovisi i o promjeni godišnjih doba i razlika između vlažnih i suhih godina. Drava je srednjoeuropska rijeka i jedna od najvažnijih pritoka Dunava. U prirodnim uvjetima pronos sedimenta u Dravi je uravnotežen, što znači da se na određenom području odnesena količina sedimenta nadomjesti istom količinom s uzvodnih dijelova sliva. Na svom toku kroz Hrvatsku Drava je tri puta pregrađena na dijelu toka uzvodno od ušća Mure, dok je prije ulaska u Hrvatsku čak dvadeset puta pregrađena. Izgradnjom hidroakumulacijskih jezera u sklopu hidroeneregetskih objekata mijenja se prirodni režim protoka, javljaju se značajne hidrološke i morfološke promjene na mjestu pregrada, kao i na dijelu toka uzvodno i nizvodno od pregrada. Izgradnja brana na rijekama smanjuje broj vrsta biljnoga i životinjskoga svijeta mijenjajući lokalne stanišne uvjete. Izgradnjom hidroelektrana dolazi i do kanaliziranja pojedinih dijelova vodotoka, gdje se mijenjaju erozijsko-sedimentacijski procesi u samom koritu. Rijeka koja je u prirodnom stanju sa svim svojim elementima najbolja je obrana od sezonskih poplava. Izgradnjom hidroenergetskih objekata mijenja se hidrološki režim, odnosno uvelike osciliraju vrijednosti protoka na pojedinim dijelovima rijeke Drave, što ima utjecaja na poplavne nizine nizvodno te na biljne vrste karakteristične za tu vrstu staništa. Glavnina biljnih vrsta koje su prilagođene poplavnim stanišnim uvjetima izgradnjom akumulacije izgubile bi većinu tla koje je pogodno za naseljavanje.

Luisa Prandi
Authors: Molina Antonio Ignacio
Published: December 2022

Luisa Prandi (born in 1952) has showed a great interest in Classics and the Ancient World even from her earliest age. Her love for the Ancient Greek world arose during her studies at the University of Milan. As a student of distinguished scholars such as Marta Sordi (1925-2009), Luigi F. Pizzolato (1939-), Giuseppe Billanovich (1913-2000) and Orsolina Montevecchi (1911-2009), she learned from each of them a devotion for the study of the ancient sources that have made, with a great merit, that she becomes one of the best and most recognized scholars on the ancient world. She is, also, a main name in the research of the topic of the Historians of Alexander or Alexandrographers. These authors are fundamental for the knowledge of the Macedonian king: as she uses to argue, we cannot write a single word about Alexander overlooking them”. Writing about Alexander is a such a Herculean task, since there is no other figure of whom there are more historians with extreme contradictions among their accounts. It is almost impossible to say something new about Alexander, but to say about his historians, about whom so few fragments are available, is even more difficult.

Prof. Luisa Prandi’s brilliant versatility is quite a strange attribute among academics: she has showed many times her abilities to work directly with all kinds of sources (especially papyri), but always with a sober, serious, and noncontroversial approach. Readers will find in her a person of carefully taste concerning what to say and how to stress her opinions and views. That seriousness is reflected and witnessed when she writes, since she belongs to that wonderful school of researchers who are aware that theories will pass but the facts (sources) are the ones that remain. From that humility and that certainty, Luisa Prandi presents herself to our readers of Karanos.
