Pabellón holandés en la Exposición de Hannover 2000.
Authors: Vicente Pablo
Published: October 2019

La exposición de Hannover (2000) se desarrolló bajo el lema: Hombre, naturaleza y tecnología - origen de un nuevo mundo. Casi veinte años después, el edificio del Pabellón Holandés continúa siendo su imagen más representativa, no solo en el restringido campo disciplinar, también en el campo de la cultura de masas. Bajo el lema Holanda crea espacio, MvRdV decidió la creación de una unidad autosustentable a partir de la recreación en forma artificial del ciclo del agua para evidenciar la posibilidad de coexistencia entre el crecimiento de la densidad de población y el aumento de la calidad de vida. En tiempos de cultura de la globalidad, caracterizada por la producción incesante de imágenes de consumo masivo, la Arquitectura se debate como nunca antes frente a condiciones que afectan sus propias bases. Son tiempos de distancia del objeto terminado respecto de la experiencia espacial del sujeto, de la ausencia del conflicto como un valor productivo en la cultura. El rol de la crítica se vuelve clave para enfrentar el discurso hegemónico que impone conductas en forma indiferenciada. Se torna necesario poner en foco el rol decisivo de la disciplina en la producción de capital simbólico donde la preocupación ambiental es uno de los emergentes contemporáneos.

Aims.To assess the outcomes of atrial fibrillation (AF) treatment by radiofrequency ablation for patients with mitral valve replacement, the analysis of short-term results of 128 patients was performed.

Methods.Mean age of the patients was 56,7±9,6 (29 - 79) years, males - 39, females - 89. Most of the patients had longstanding persistent AF - 81 (63,3%), 28 (21,9%) had persistent AF and 19 (14,8%) - paroxysmal AF. The indications for surgery were: rheumatic mitral valve disease in 105 patients (82%), degerative mitral valve disease - in 21 (16,4%) and with treated infectious endocarditis - in 2 (1,6%). Maze IV procedure was carried out in all cases.

Results.Hospital mortality was 0,8% (1 patient). Ten patients (7,9%) required pacemaker implantation. The indications were sinus node dysfunction in 7 patients, bradycardia AF - in 2 patients, AV node dysfunction - in 1. At the discharge 88 patients (69,3%) had a sinus rhythm, 10 (7,9%) - atrial rhythm, pacemaker rhythm with sinus node dysfunction patients - in 4 (3,1%) and AF - in 25 (19,7%). Thus, the rate of freedom from atrial fibrillation was 80,3% (102 patients). The effectiveness of ablation for paroxysmal AF was 100%, persistent - 74,1%, longstanding persistent - 77,8% (p=0,006). To reveal other predictors of freedom from AF at the discharge each ECHO parameter was included in the simple logistic regression analysis. Statistically significant p-value was obtained for the preoperative right atrial size (p=0,005), and close to it for the left atrial size, especially for the index left atrial volume/body surface area (p=0,052).

Conclusion.Thus, the radiofrequency ablation is an effective method for treatment of AF in patients undergoing mitral valve replacement. The rate of freedom from AF at the discharge is 80,3%. The predictors of freedom from AF at the discharge are preoperative form of AF and preoperative size of atria.

Aim: to assess cardiac conduction disturbances after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) with the “MedLab-KT” device in early postoperative period.

Methods. The study comprised 80 patients (mean age 72,4±5,1 years; 42,5% males) undergoing successful TAVR with the “MedLab-KT”. Before operation, all patients were evaluated with 12-lead ECG and 24-hour Holter monitoring, transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography, computed tomography, coronarography. In 29 (36,3%) patients cardiac conduction abnormalities were detected before operation: 1st degree atrioventricular (AV) block was found in 17 patients, including concomitant left anterior hemiblock (LAH) in 7 patients, and right bundle branch block (RBBB) in 3 (LAH+RBBB). Second degree AV-block type 1 was found in 1 patient. LAH – in 2, RBBB – in 5, and left bundle branch block (LBBB) – in 4. Post-operative follow-up was limited to hospital stay (13,4±7,4 days).

Results. De-novo conduction abnormalities (reversible and irreversible) were detected in 41 patients (51,3%). Post-TAVR complete AV-block was found in 6 (7,5%) patients, and required temporal pacing. In 4 of those patients AV-block was transient and resolved within 1 day. In 2 (2,5%) patients permanent pacing was required due to irreversible distal AV-block. In one case AV-block developed 2 days after TAVR in a patient with pre-existent 1st degree AV-block in combination with LAH+RBBB. Another patient developed complete AV-block at 3d day after TAVR; in this case there was pre-existent 1st degree AV-block plus LAH. Persistent interventricular block was found in 35 patients: complete LBBB - in 17 patients and complete RBBB – in 1 patient. There were no statistically significant predictors of conduction disturbance development following TAVR.
Innovation at the Grammar-lexis Intersection in World Englishes1
Authors: Romasanta Raquel P.
Published: October 2019

It has often been claimed that the English complementation system lies at the intersection of grammar and lexis, an area where, in the process of nativization in new varieties of English, innovation and change commonly occur (Olavarría de Ersson and Shaw 2003; Schneider 2007). The current study aims to contribute to this field by looking at the complementation profile of the verb REGRET as used on the internet (Corpus of Global Web-Based English (GloWbE), Davies 2013). The manual analysis of more than 18,000 examples unveils new distributions, uses and patterns of complementation with this verb in 16 different L1 and L2 varieties of English worldwide, for which tentative cognitive explanations are offered.
Modelo en desorden: Estado de bienestar, dogmatismo de austeridad y cambio radical en las políticas de migración suecas
Authors:   Universidad de Linköping, Schierup Carl Ulrik , Scarpa Simone ,   Universidad de Umeå
Published: October 2019

The winds of xenophobia hovering over Europe have swept the moral political foundations of an inclusive Swedish migration policy into the dustbin of history and twisted an enlightened left-right consensus on an open and humanitarian asylum policy into its mirror opposite. Lured by advances of the extreme right the main political parties have, since 2015, come to indiscriminately embrace the view that immigration, etno-cultural diversity and an open-door refugee policy is detrimental to welfare and, in consequence, curbing migration has become the all dominant political strategem in vying for votes. The authors challenge this widely accepted narrative by arguing that the sustainability of the Swedish welfare state has not been undermined by migration but by consecutive Swedish governments' unbending adherence to austerity politics since the beginning of the 1990s. Austerity politics have, step by step, weakened the Swedish Model's socially integrative functions and prevented the implementation of an ambitious agenda, harvesting a potentially dynamic interplay of expansionary economic and social policies and a humanitarian asylum policy.
Reflexiones en torno a la teoría y a la práctica de la relación entre migración y desarrollo: una perspectiva del Sur
Authors:   Universidad Autónoma de Zacatecas, Delgado Wise Raúl
Published: October 2019

El presente ensayo se centra en el análisis de la relación entre migración y desarrollo, paralelamente ofrece una visión crítica de este cada vez más importante ámbito de estudio, el cual acrecienta mayor interés en la esfera política. La postura conceptual que se enarbola es caracterizada como perspectiva del Sur, a contrapelo de las visiones hegemónicas en el campo. El nexo entre migración y desarrollo se concibe como una relación dialéctica que se despliega en una fase particular del capitalismo contemporáneo: la era de los monopolios generalizados, siguiendo a Samir Amin. Especial énfasis se hace en la necesidad de ampliar el concepto de migración forzada y desarrollar indicadores estratégicos para desmitificar la narrativa dominante. Una parte complementaria del estudio se refiere a la teoría y a la práctica contestataria en el campo. Al respecto, la participación de la sociedad civil en el incipiente y frágil proceso de la gobernanza global de las migraciones es examinada de manera sucinta a través de dos espacios diferentes y contrastantes: el Foro Global sobre Migración y Desarrollo y el Foro Social Mundial de las Migraciones.
State regulation of export activity
Authors: Lositska Tetiana
Published: October 2019

The article gives an overview of current export trends and analyzes the main directions of state regulation of export activity in Ukraine and in the world. To determine the priorities of state regulation of export activities, the experience of leading exporting countries: China, the USA, Germany, Japan, France, and Great Britain are analyzed. The current state of export in Ukraine is described. Today, the state in the field of export activities does not provide business entities with sufficient support to reorient their markets. The main gaps in the regulatory and legislative framework in this area are identified, namely, the process of reorientation of the Ukrainian market to the requirements of the EU and problems related to currency restrictions of the NBU. The importance of overcoming the imperfection of state legislation in the field of foreign economic activity is emphasized. The directions of state regulation of high-tech export activities through a system of financial and non-financial government instruments are proposed. It is proposed to draw attention to the experience of countries that have recently become EU members, but have positive export experience. Among the main measures introduced by them, one can distinguish: reduction of customs duties in accordance with the requirements of the WTO; introduction of protection policies for vulnerable sectors of the economy; the adoption of the structural reorganization of the units responsible for the export activities of the state.

Nowadays, the mortality rate due to cardiovascular diseases is significant due to noticed critical aneurysm cases. Abnormal swelling at the aorta causes Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA). They are usually saccular, fusiform according to their shape statistics. Hence it’s better to analyze, segment and model them to aid physicians/surgeons in various aspects of nonsurgical and surgical treatments. Morphological study provides approximate dimensions and risk of rupture. The objective of this work is to provide an extensive study on AAA segmentation, modeling and analysis with individual frameworks in sequence using tools like MATrix LABoratory (MATLAB), Materialise's Interactive Medical Image Control System (MIMICS), 3-matic and Finite Element Biomechanics (FEBio). The ultimate goal is to develop a 3D printed aneurysm replica for further evaluation and analysis using Ultimaker Cura Slicer Software. MATLAB is used to segment the Aorta irrespective of intensity/contrast inhomogeneities using Solidity feature. MIMICS software is used for modeling the aneurysms using three types of Axial, Coronal, and Saggital views. 3-matic provides an easy interface to do the dimensional analysis using imported aneurysm morphology. FEBio with PreView, PostView plugins is a nonlinear finite element solver which offers a chance to study it and to predict the future regions of rupture to some extent via Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) features. 3D printing of aneurysm offers the flexibility of knowing their epithelial characteristics and hands-on experience. The main merit of this novel and efficient framework is non-invasive studies of Aneurysm Segmentation, Analysis, and Modeling using five tools which addresses the complete study of AAA.

Non-point source pollution of surface water is a major impediment to meet water quality objectives. Managing such pollution sources in a sustainable way is a key success factor in maintaining high water quality and to prevent eutrophication. Mathematical models are widely used to simulate ecological and water quality interactions in surface waters. Simulation errors may arise due to uncertainties of the structure, input data and the model parameters. In this study, an attempt has been made to estimate the rate constants for nutrient transformations in Kabini River located in Southern part of Karnataka state in India. The experimental results demonstrated both ammonia and nitrite oxidation. In the river water, DO concentration was 5.2 mg/L. After addition of pollutants it reduced to 3.9 mg/L. EC changed from 370 to 550 μS/cm. pH remained almost the same. At 320C, the rate constants for phosphate, nitrate, nitrite, potassium and ammonia were found to be 0.165, 0.21, 0.077, 0.0777 and 0.078/hr respectively. The results obtained clearly specify that the rate constants are concentration and temperature dependent.

In Wireless Sensor Network the delay in delivery of data problem can be reduced by using mobile sink. Mobility of the sink has been demonstrated to be the best method to reduce delay in the network. So the path selection for the movement of the sink plays an important role. Hence the selection of minimum number of stopping points are called Rendezvous Points (RPs) is very challenging in WSNs. So a productive procedure was proposed to choose the RPs to develop path for moving sink. At first set of potential points will be generated by using a technique and then using greedy algorithm the RPs were selected from the potential points set. Then an optimization method is used to get still more optimized points. At that point these points are utilized to select path for sink. Proposed algorithm was simulated with some current algorithms and results will be compared based on different performance metrics to demonstrate the viability of the present work.

In this modern age transmission of visual information in the form of digital images are becoming a major method of communication. The noise is the result of errors in image acquisition process and they do not replicate the accurate intensities of the actual scene. This image can be utilized as an input for decision making. To produce high quality image it should be de-noised using suitable algorithm. There are various types of noises that degrades the image such as salt and pepper noise, Gaussian noise and Poisson noise, it is necessary to have knowledge about the noise present in the image. The paper proposed a new algorithm “Mean Convolution Mass Filter (MCMF)”. This approach has been proved to have better PSNR value in de-noising the digital image when compared to the other existing algorithms.

Nowadays, architecture education concentrates mostly on form, space, and general subjects as well as considerations of function, and art theories about design. Least attentions are on technical matters, construction courses, which cannot stand separate from the design process. This lack of synchronization between architectural design and construction courses have resulted in the idea that only design product is paramount in architectural education. However, the nature of construction courses is mostly technical and mechanical, which make it challenging for students to understand and truncate their passion for furtherance on the subject. This paper aims to examine the problems related to the learning and understanding of construction technology and its connection with the architectural design. And also to identify the primary learning necessities essential for achieving a better learning performance in construction courses, by analyzing the curriculum of construction courses of Faculty of Architecture, EMU (Eastern Mediterranean University) as case studies, and related information in the current literature written between (1993-2015) whose discourses focus on: Teaching construction technology, Bridging the gap between Theory and Practice, Education and practice of building and Evaluating Constructive Thought of Master Builder.
