Published: September 2021

Abstract

Background and Objectives:

Patients with nonobstructive coronary artery disease (NOCAD) have an increased risk of cardiovascular events (CVEs) compared to that in individuals with normal or near-normal coronary arteries (NNCAs) and even a similar risk to that in individuals with obstructive coronary artery disease (OCAD). However, the predictors for a worse outcome in patients with NOCAD are not fully determined. This study aimed to investigate the association of high-sensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and CVEs in patients with NOCAD.

Materials and Methods:

In total, 4662 patients with coronary artery angiography were enrolled and followed up for CVE. Patients were classified as having NNCA (<20% stenosis, n = 698, 15.0%), NOCAD (20%-49% stenosis, n = 639, 14.3%), and OCAD (≥50% stenosis, n = 3325, 70.7%) and then further subdivided into three groups based on their baseline hs-CRP level (<1, 1-3, and >3 mg/L). Proportional hazards models were used to assess the risk of CVEs.

Results:

Over an average 13403 person-year follow-up, 338 patients experienced CVEs. Patients with NOCAD and OCAD had a higher rate of CVE than those with NNCA (P < 0.05). The CVE risk was significantly higher in NOCAD (hazard ratio [HR]: 2.31, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.30-4.01, P = 0.004) and OCAD (HR: 3.09, 95% CI: 1.88-5.07, P < 0.001) patients than in NNCA patients. Moreover, elevated hs-CRP levels were associated with an incremental rate of CVE (P < 0.05).

Conclusions:

Patients with NOCAD had worse outcomes and elevated hs-CRP levels were positively associated with CVEs, which potentially helps assess risk in NOCAD patients.

Abstract

Background and Objective:

Clinical studies have suggested that low tri-iodothyronine (T3) syndrome negatively affects the clinical outcomes of patients with acute heart failure (AHF). The aim of this prospective cohort study was to evaluate the effect of low T3 syndrome in terms of prognosis and risk-predictive potential in AHF.

Methods:

A prospective observational cohort study was conducted from April 2012 to August 2016 in Nanjing, China. All clinical baseline characteristics were retrieved from electronic medical records. Low T3 syndrome was defined by a low free T3 level (<3.1 pM) accompanied by a normal thyroid-stimulating hormone level. The association between the free T3 level and mortality and the incremental risk prediction were estimated in Cox regression adjusted models.

Results:

In total, 312 patients with AHF for whom detailed thyroid hormone profiles were available were prospectively enrolled. Seventy-two patients exhibited low T3 syndrome. Over a median follow-up period of 35 months, 121 cumulative deaths occurred. Cardiovascular death was observed in 94 patients. After extensive adjustment for confounders, the low T3 syndrome-associated hazard ratios (95% confidence intervals) were 1.74 (1.16-2.61, P = 0.007) for all-cause mortality and 1.90 (1.21-2.98, P = 0.005) for cardiovascular mortality. The restricted cubic splines suggested a negative linear relationship between the free T3 level and mortality risk. Considering reclassification, adding low T3 syndrome to the fully adjusted model improved the risk prediction for all-cause mortality (integrated discrimination improvement [IDI]: 2.0%, P = 0.030; net reclassification improvement [NRI]: 8.9%, P = 0.232) and cardiovascular mortality (IDI: 2.5%, P = 0.030; NRI: 21.3%, P = 0.013).

Conclusions:

Low T3 syndrome reclassified risk prediction for mortality beyond traditional risk factors for patients with AHF.

Introduction:

Hilar tumors are a unique subset of complex renal masses posing a potential surgical challenge during partial nephrectomy. The outcomes of hilar masses have not been compared to non-hilar renal masses of similar RENAL nephrometry score (RNS). In this study, we analyzed the outcomes of hilar versus nonhilar masses after a propensity score matching.

Methods:

Prospectively maintained database of patients who underwent robot assisted PN between November 2014 and December 2018 was abstracted for hilar and nonhilar tumors. We performed propensity matching for baseline variables such as age, sex, body mass index, comorbidities, preoperative glomerular filtration rate, and RNS for each patient on the basis of propensity scores.

Results:

We included 48 patients with hilar tumors and 153 with nonhilar tumors. On propensity matching, 41 patients were included in each group. The mean operative time (162.4 ± 48.9 min vs. 144.1 ± 38.8 min, P = 0.48), warm ischemia time (29.0 ± 8.8 min vs. 24.4 ± 8.2 min, P = 0.12), and the estimated blood loss (201.8 ± 184.7 ml vs. 150.6 ± 160.5 ml, P = 0.37) were not significantly different between the hilar and the nonhilar groups. Trifecta was achieved in only 14/41 (34.1%) of the patients in the hilar group as compared to 24/41 (58.5%) in the nonhilar group (P = 0.027). Logistic regression analysis identified that hilar location of the tumors was not an independent predictor of overall complications (OR 6.37, confidence interval [CI] 0.5–69.4, P = 0.4), trifecta (OR 0.38, CI 0.14–1.0, P = 0.051), and pentafecta outcomes (OR 0.4, CI 0.1–1.51, P = 0.17).

Conclusions:

Hilar location was associated with poorer trifecta outcomes compared to the nonhilar tumors. However, hilar location per se was not an independent predictor of overall complications and trifecta and pentafecta outcomes.

Published: September 2021

We want to measure the impact of the curriculum learning technique on a reinforcement training setup, several experiments were designed with different training curriculums adapted for the video game chosen as a case study. Then all were executed on a selected game simulation platform, using two reinforcement learning algorithms, and using the mean cumulative reward as a performance measure. Results suggest that curriculum learning has a significant impact on the training process, increasing training times in some cases, and decreasing them up to 40% percent in some other cases.
Applying ensemble neural networks to analyze industrial maintenance: Influence of Saharan dust transport on gas turbine axial compressor fouling
Authors: Gonzalez-Calvo D. , Aguilar R.M. , Criado-Hernandez C. , Gonzalez-Mendoza L.A.
Published: September 2021

The planning of industrial maintenance associated with the production of electricity is vital, as it yields a current and future snapshot of an industrial component in order to optimize the human, technical and economic resources of the installation. This study focuses on the degradation due to fouling of a gas turbine in the Canary Islands, and analyzes fouling levels over time based on the operating regime and local meteorological variables. In particular, we study the relationship between degradation and the suspended dust that originates in the Sahara Desert. To this end, we use a computational procedure that relies on a set of artificial neural networks to build an ensemble, using a cross-validated committees approach, to yield the compressor efficiency. The use of trained models makes it possible to know in advance how the local fouling of an industrial rotating component will evolve, which is useful for maintenance planning and for calculating the relative importance of the variables that make up the system
Drivers of Recreational Online Gambling Intentions: A UTAUT 2 Perspective, Enhancements, Results, and Implications
Authors: Konietzny Jirka , Caruana Albert
Published: September 2021

Recreational gambling has become an accepted pursuit, and the advent of the Internet has rendered online gambling ubiquitous. However, the resultant rapid growth in online recreational gambling is not matched by an understanding of the drivers of customers’ intentions to gamble online. While this is potentially a fascinating aspect of consumer behavior, marketing scholars have shied away from giving online gambling much attention. This research seeks a better understanding of the drivers of recreational online gambling intentions among customers by applying the latest version of the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Technology—UTAUT 2, to customers in an online gambling context. It also proposes additional hypotheses that account for the role of anticipated enjoyment and perceived fairness. Data are collected from 593 casino customers of an online gambling firm and analyzed using PLS-SEM via Smart PLS. Results show that perceived fairness and anticipated enjoyment are significant drivers of online gambling intention, with perceived fairness being fully mediated by effort expectancy, anticipated enjoyment, and social influence. Shorn of drivers and moderators that are not significant, an online gambling intention model is proposed. Theoretical and managerial implications are discussed, limitations are noted, and areas for further research are suggested.

Authors: Loto O.O. , Ajibare A.O.
Published: September 2021

Lagos lagoon has received wastewater discharged from different anthropogenic sources. Therefore, this study determined the water  quality and identified its pollution status. Water quality index (WQI), several heavy metal pollution indices as well as single factor and  comprehensive pollution indices were applied. The obtained data revealed that physicochemical parameter varied between 24.00±1.41 and 27.00±0.71°C for temperature; 2.50±2.83 and 10.50±0.71‰ for salinity; 3.90±0.99 and 4.60±0.85 mg/l for dissolved oxygen; 7.26±0.25 and 8.38±0.66 for pH; 3.50±0.71 and 10.00±7.07mg/l for BOD. The results also revealed that sulphate, phosphate and nitrate had means of  10.00±10.45mg/l, 0.85±1.04mg/l and 11.11±17.88 mg/l respectively while Pb, Zn, Cu and Hg had means of 0.25±0.49mg/l, 25.49±44.27mg/l, 1.88±2.94mg/l and 0.00±0.00mg/l respectively. SPI classified pH, BOD, Cu and Zn within the ‘medium pollution’ category while nitrate and phosphate indicated heavy pollution of the lagoon. The PI revealed that Cu and Zn had moderate and slight effect on the aquatic  environment respectively while Pb and Hg had no effect on the ecosystem. The mean WQI revealed that the lagoon was classified to be good for aquatic biota despite that HEI and Cd revealed that there was high pollution of heavy metals in the lagoon. The CPI described the lagoon as slightly polluted.

Published: September 2021

The menstrual cycle increases insulin requirements in a subset of women with type 1 diabetes as a result of reduced insulin action through sexual hormones. If exposure to sexual hormones declines during the menopause, adaptions of insulin dosing may be required. However, there are no validated recommendations available on how to adapt insulin treatment in postmenopausal women with type 1 diabetes. The present study compared insulin dosing profiles of 630 premenopausal and 548 postmenopausal women, who had long-term type 1 diabetes and used continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion. Data were extracted from the German "Diabetes-Patienten- Verlaufsdokumentation". 
It was found that total daily insulin (p <0.0001), daily insulin per kilogram bodyweight (p <0.0001), total daily basal insulin (p <0.0001), daily basal insulin per kilogram bodyweight (p <0.0001) and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) (p <0.0001) were lower in postmenopausal women. Total daily bolus insulin, daily bolus insulin per kilogram, glycated haemoglobin A1, body mass index and the incidence of severe hypoglycaemic events were similar in both cohorts.
Postmenopausal women with type 1 diabetes used lower insulin doses as compared with premenopausal women, whereas glycaemic control and body mass index were comparable. This observation might be explained by lower exposure to sexual hormones and lower eGFR, even though the contribution of other factors such as body composition and eating habits requires further investigation.

Exotismo e Irracionalidade:
Authors: Helal Ronaldo George
Published: September 2021

O artigo apresenta uma análise das narrativas do jornal L’Équipe sobre o futebol brasileiro nas Copas de 1958 e 1998. Parte-se da hipótese de que foi a partir da atuação da seleção brasileira na Copa do Mundo da França, em 1938, e do “olhar” da imprensa francesa sobre o futebol brasileiro que as ideias do antropólogo Gilberto Freyre e do jornalista Mario Filho, de que o futebol brasileiro seria mais artístico, se consolidaram no país. Pressupõe-se que os franceses, em geral, olhavam o Brasil como um país exótico, com todos os estereótipos “positivos” e “negativos” que permeiam essa visão. Esses estereótipos continuariam aparecendo na imprensa francesa nas Copas de 1958 e 1998?

Authors: Braga Vitor , Felizola Matheus P.M. , Marques Jane A.
Published: September 2021

Discutimos o consumo midiático e cultural dos jovens de cidades distantes das regiões metropolitanas, especificamente no Nordeste do Brasil. Compreendemos estar diante de um contexto com particularidades considerando a convergência dos meios e as condições de acesso às TICs. Através de uma pesquisa com inspiração etnográfica, foram aplicadas entrevistas semiestruturadas com jovens de 18 a 24 anos da Microrregião de Propriá (SE), e depois realizada uma análise de conteúdo. Dentre os resultados, pudemos observar um distanciamento gradativo dos jovens da centralidade da mídia de massa, em contraposição a uma aproximação no consumo via dispositivos móveis. O acesso às mídias sociais foi uma variável importante, pois os jovens operam um consumo voltado à interação com suas redes; se representam em um contexto de grande exposição de si mesmo; e não se distanciam dos referenciais da cultura regional que vivenciam.
Jornalismo, ativismo e sensibilidade hacker:
Authors: Moraes Fabiana
Published: September 2021

A perspectiva ativista foi historicamente refutada por aquele que se notabilizou como o “bom jornalismo”, este embebido pela ideia de objetividade. De acordo com o que é considerado senso comum, o ativismo macula ideologicamente o conteúdo noticioso, percepção também expressada nas publicações de jornalistas em redes sociais. A partir da ideia de um jornalismo de subjetividade, fazemos aqui uma reflexão sobre uma prática ativista que não se esconde como tal e que pode estar presente não só no que se entende como jornalismo independente/alternativo, mas ainda nas grandes empresas. Esta tomada de posição se dá, entre outros marcadores, pela reflexão sobre o próprio campo, pela não exotificação do outro e pela atuação de uma profissional que se sabe não neutra. Fazemos ainda uma análise das práticas jornalísticas associadas a uma “sensibilidade hacker” (RUSSEL, 2017), que pode e deve estar presente para além do uso de aparatos tecnológicos.
Uma perspectiva afro-centrada para produção de narrativas
Authors: Pinto Da Costa Júnior Luiz Carlos
Published: September 2021

O artigo reflete o atual estágio de uma pesquisa em andamento. O texto procura, a partir do repertório da filosofia afroperspectivista, indicar elementos de uma pedagogia popular do uso de tecnologias da informação e comunicação para a produção de narrativas. Esse esforço, de ordem conceitual e metodológico, evoca signos e personagens das histórias e culturas afro-brasileiras e africanas, em particular do Candomblé Nagô praticado no Brasil. O recurso a uma matriz simbólica afro-brasileira também se presta à desmistificação das tecnologias, na medida em que o uso de computadores, redes e outros dispositivos pode ser associado à mesma vivência cotidiana dedicada ao culto de Orixás.
Cinema, poder e controle

Published: September 2021

Nesse artigo tenho como objetivo discutir a relação entre cinema de entretenimento, poder e controle na sociedade contemporânea, usando como metodologia uma revisão bibliográfica de autores que discutem conceitos fundamentais a esse trabalho como poder, controle e Sociedade de consumo ou hiperconsumista. Apresentarei como resultados análises fílmicas efetuadas durante a elaboração de minha dissertação de mestrado, na qual estabeleci a relação entre cinema de entretenimento e Sociedade de Consumidores, acrescentando a isso reflexões recentes que fiz apontando ligações desses discursos consumistas ao controle presente nessa que Gilles Deleuze denomina “Sociedade de Controle.” Por fim, defendo que o cinema de entretenimento é um mecanismo de controle à medida que, a partir dos discursos que difunde, modula os indivíduos, perpetuando a manutenção da lógica de mercado e tornando-a hegemônica na Sociedade contemporânea.

Published: September 2021

The article considers the main directions of the quality assurance of tourist services at the region's level. We proved that the qualitative development of tourist regions requires changes in the structure of production of a tourist product and significant changes in the organization of its production. The current state of services in the regions of Ukraine is under the impact of a significant number of factors. The main determinants are the "COVID-19" pandemic spread, increasing number of natural and anthropogenic disasters, the spread of terrorism and hostilities, et cetera. All these factors hinder the development of services. However, to promote domestic tourism as one of the areas of service in Ukraine, the pandemic was more resultative than joined industry reforms. Today, there is an increase in domestic tourists, and the tourism industry could get significant profits from the surge of domestic tourism. However, most of these trips are self-organized. In addition, most current tourists are looking for new experiences that allow relaxing, see and hear, and feel, taste, try, and learn about the area through cuisine, traditions, and ceremonies to take part in them. Therefore, we tried to substantiate new ways to improve the quality of service in the regions of Ukraine. The analysis of factors influencing the quality of regional tourist services is essential for the future development

Authors:   Lviv University of Business and Law, Semchuk Zhanna
Published: September 2021

In this article, we have considered the complex problem of developing and realizing the potential of young people in the light of the challenges that arise in the modern world. Young people are a vulnerable social group for whom state and local support is essential. Problems in employment can shake the incentive for young people to develop their potential. We investigated the impact of educational and social space on the development of one of the components of youth potential - potential in event management. We emphasized that the development of this component can be a good impetus for intensifying the entrepreneurial activity of young people. However, youth employment and entrepreneurship in event management need care from the state and intensification of informal social control mechanisms. We have formed recommendations that will allow integrating the processes of social development and development of youth potential in event management. This work can be helpful for public authorities, educational institutions and public organizations.

Pollution is a great issue of the environment that is gaining global attention currently because industrial development has disturbed the ecosystem of the world and depleting the ozone. It has resulted in global warming and increased the temperature, which has changed the climate at different levels globally. According to a world report, about 25% of forest land is required for ecosystem favourability. There are so many trees which are grown in the world. Among these trees, Eucalyptus is very popular and was first grown in Australia. This plant has both economic and health benefits. Pharmacologists converted this plant into medicine for different health disease control in the world. Essential Oil squeezed from the leaf and bark of the tree and leaves also possess great benefits. The well-known diseases are blood pressure, diabetes, Arthritis, plague, Cough etc., while it is also used for mosquitoes, termites, and white ants control. The plant also has its disadvantage; it decreases the water table and disturbs the tube well system. Those plants need much water, so they compete with other plants in the area and affect the size of the plant. The major objective was to review the socio-economic and medicinal value of the eucalyptus tree. Total 19 articles were downloaded from the net and reviewed in depth. The result indicates that the Eucalyptus tree has many socio-economic and medicinal values

The latest generation of convolution neural networks (CNNs) has achieved impressive results in the field of image
classification. This paper is concerned with a new approach to the development of fruit/plant disease detection model, based on
leaf image processing and classification, by the use of ANN. Novel way of training and the methodology used facilitate a quick
and easy system implementation in practice. The developed model is able to recognize 13 different types of plant diseases out of
healthy leaves, with the ability to distinguish plant leaves from their surroundings. According to our knowledge, this method for
plant disease recognition has been proposed for the first time. All essential steps required for implementing this disease
recognition model are fully described throughout the paper, starting from gathering images in order to create a database, assessed
by agricultural experts. Caffe, a deep learning framework developed by Berkley Vision and Learning Centre, was used to perform
the deep CNN training

In the recent years, using the existing electrical resources to meet the electrical power demand is a challenging one. To address
the issues, an alternative energy resources are bringing together to support the existing resources. And it is known that integrating
the electrical resources together having lot more technical issues because of their unique features. So bringing them into the
common platform and making them together is a wise solution. This paper also an attempt to address one of the issues on the
electrical resources integration in the common DC bus structure. In the common bus, various loads with different ratings use to be
connected and its recurrent changes such as ON and OFF are not in the control. Due to this the electrical stress in the common bus
will increase. In order to minimize the variations a compensation mechanism must be used for avoiding the disturbance during
transient, steady-state and fault conditions.
Creative activity of Galina Kantor-Molotova in the puppet theatre and not only
Authors: Тома Л.А.
Published: September 2021

В статье раскрываются разнообразные задачи, решаемые Галиной Кантор-Молотовой в области театрального и декоративного искусства, станковой живописи и скульптуры. Достижения работающей в Кишиневе с 1972 года выпускницы Ленинградского института театра, музыки и кинематографии (1971, по специальности «театральная техника и оформление спектакля» со специализацией «художник-скульптор театра кукол») признаны в Молдавии и в других странах. Ее произведения находятся в Театральном музее имени А.А. Бахрушина и Музее Театра Образцова в Москве, в Ташкенте, в частных коллекциях России, Украины, Эстонии, Германии, Франции и других стран. Более 10 персональных выставок этого мастера было организовано в Кишиневе и Париже. Об отдельных гранях творчества художницы написано немало статей, но в целом ее путь не исследовался с достаточной полнотой. В некоторой мере этот пробел восполняет недавно изданный альбом «Galina Cantor-Molotova», презентация которого состоялась в Кишиневе в Национальном музее истории Молдовы на открытии выставки избранных произведений — кукол для детского театра, гобеленов и живописи. Однако местное издание небольшим тиражом увидят лишь немногие любители искусства. Творчество Г. Кантор-Молотовой достойно введения в широкий искусствоведческий оборот, включая не только кукол и эскизы декораций для спектаклей, но и гобелены, скульптуру, живопись.

The article reveals the tasks solved by Galina Cantor-Molotova in the field of theatrical and decorative art, easel painting and sculpture. The achievements of this graduate of the Institute of Theatre, Music and Cinematography in Leningrad (1971), who has been working in Kishinev (Chisinau) since 1972, are recognized in Moldova and in other countries. There were organized more than ten personal exhibitions of this master in Kishinev and in other cities, among them being Paris. A lot of articles have been written about individual facets of the artist's work, but in general, her path in art hasn’t been studied with sufficient completeness. To some extent, this gap is filled by the recently published album “Galina Cantor-Molotova”, the presentation of which took place in Kishinev at the National Museum of History of Moldova, while opening the exhibition of her selected works — puppets for children's theatre, tapestries and paintings. However, only a few art lovers will see the local edition with a small circulation. A subtle lyricist in painting, a muralist in tapestry and sculpture, though we are talking about small forms, Galina Cantor-Molotova gives free rein to her imagination in theatrical works. Her puppets are marked by a special warmth of author's feeling, which is the result of her character, modest and benevolent, sincerely loving her main audience — children. The artist's works are worthy of introduction into a wide range of art criticism.
Attribution problems of B.V. Smirnov's graphics from the Novosibirsk State Museum of Local History collection
Authors: Семакова Н.А.
Published: September 2021

Статья посвящена атрибуции коллекции графики русско-украинского художника Бориса Васильевича Смирнова, хранящейся в Новосибирском краеведческом музее. В начале XX века Б.В. Смирнов отправился в путешествие по Сибири, результатом которого стало множество рисунков, сделанных в Омске, Барабинской степи, Красноярске и Иркутске. Необходимость проведения атрибуции была вызвана тем фактом, что на произведениях обнаружились скорректированная датировка и оставленные наброски и зарисовки на обратной стороне. Следовательно, возник вопрос о корректных хронологических и географических рамках создания рисунков. В процессе исследования были задействованы архивные материалы личного дела Б.В. Смирнова, привлечены литературные произведения художника и мемуары членов его семьи. В результате атрибуции на основе комплексного подхода к исследованию изобразительных произведений с применением сравнительного и биографического методов было обнаружено, что часть работ не относится к сибирскому периоду творчества и была создана мастером после возвращения из Сибири. Атрибуция коллекции графики Б.В. Смирнова позволила уточнить время и место создания отдельных работ и в полной мере раскрыть их содержание.

The paper is devoted to the attribution of the Russian-Ukrainian artist Boris Vasilyevich Smirnov’s graphics, kept in the Novosibirsk Museum of Local History. At the beginning of the 20th century, B.V. Smirnov traveled to Siberia, as a result, many drawings were made in Omsk, the Barabinsk steppe, Krasnoyarsk and Irkutsk. The master's graphics, represented by portraits, landscapes and genre scenes, are important not only as an aesthetic, but also as a historical heritage, being a source of information about the population of Siberian cities lifestyles. The need for attribution was caused by the factor of corrected dating and sketches on the back of the artworks. Consequently, the question was raised about the correct chronological and geographical framework of drawings creating. The research involved archival materials of B.V. Smirnov's personal file, literary works of the artist and memoirs of his family members. As a result of attribution, based on an integrated approach to the study of fine works, using comparative and biographical methods, it was found that some of the works do not belong to the Siberian period and were created by the master after returning from Siberia. Attribution of the B.V. Smirnov graphics made it possible to specify the time and place of creation of certain works and to completely reveal their content. The attribution of the graphics by B.V. Smirnov managed to clarify the time, place of certain works creation, and fully disclose their content.

The main subject of the paper is analysing the problem of fiction and the fan- tastic in the works of Milorad Popović Šapcanin that have been neglected in the Serbian literary science. The corpus entering the domain of research is made up of the following texts: Theologian (1877), Dangerous Friend (1881), Old, Writing Desk (1881), and Shadows (1902). A segment of the paper is dedicated to the contextual positioning of the author and a review of the prevailing views on the interaction of the modalities of the realistic and the fantastic. The primary goal is to conceive the basic semantic settings of M. P. Šapčanin’s fantastic prose, while the secondary goal is to read, interpret and revalue his work.
UBISTVO KULTURE LjUBAVI U ROMANU „SVEDOČANSTVA“ MARGARET ATVUD
Authors:   Faculty of Philology and Arts, University of Kragujevac, Serbia, Milic Jadranka
Published: September 2021

In the height of the western ideology which uses its various mechanisms to convince us in the righteousness of domination systems there is a flow of the thinkers who invite us to go „outside the whale” and critically examine the mechanisms of the dominated systems. Following bell hooks in the book All about Love, we come to the conclusion that it is possible to unmask domination systems if we oppose them the culture of love where love is viewed as the active force which strives to societal change. The aim of the paper is to show that in The Testaments Margaret Atwood uses the topic of love, that is the absence of it, to draw attention to the status of love and the mechanisms of misuse and murder of love in the patriarchy domination system in order to question the negative consequences of the murder of love in one society both textually and contextually. The paper concludes that Margaret Atwood intro- duces three heroines, who are the examples of how to live the culture of love inside the patriarchy, to show that each domination system ends once the culture of love prevails over the culture of domination and once love is understood as the active force which strives to change the systems of exploitation and oppression.

The Life, Activities and Views of Khoja Bahauddin Nakshband: Return to Gijduvani and Improvement of Nakshbandiya Teaching
Authors: Rakhimov Komiljon Rakhmatovich
Published: September 2021

Bahauddin Nakshband improved the teaching of Khoja Abdulkhaliq Gijduvani in the 12th century and made it one of the most influential teachings. Khoja Bahauddin Nakshband re-introduced the zikri khafi, which was introduced by Gijduvani but abandoned by the following pillars for the favor of zikri jahri. He also added three new rashha (wuqufi zamoniy, wuqufi abadiy, wuqufi qalbiy), to the existing eight rashha developed by Yusuf Hamadani and Abdulkhaliq Gijduvani, and increased the number of rashha to eleven. Bahauddin Nakshband denounced solitude and isolation, encouraged people to be professionally active, while not forgetting God for a moment. This article seeks to provide more accurate information about the life, activities and the doctrine of Khoja Bahauddin Nakshband, and draws new conclusions based on historical sources and contemporary research.
Muhasebe Meslek Mensuplarının Vergi Affına Yönelik Görüş ve Beklentilerinin Araştırılması: Kırşehir ve Hatay İlleri Örneği
Authors: GÖRGÜLÜ Fatma , KAYA Hatice Pınar
Published: September 2021

Türkiye’de vergi afları sürekli gündemde olan bir uygulamadır. Çalışmanın temel amacı, Kırşehir ve Hatay illerinde faaliyet gösteren muhasebe meslek mensuplarının vergi aflarına yönelik görüş ve beklentilerini araştırmaktır. Bu amaç doğrultusunda Kırşehir’de 70, Hatay’da 131 olmak üzere toplam 201 muhasebe meslek mensubuna 39 sorudan oluşan anket uygulanmıştır. Yapılan analizler sonucunda; her iki ilde hizmet veren muhasebe meslek mensuplarının vergi afları ile ilgili genel görüşlerinin olumlu olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Bunun yanısıra muhasebe meslek mensupları, vergi yükümlülüğünü tam olarak yerine getiren dürüst mükelleflere teşvik amaçlı bazı ayrıcalıklar sağlanması gerektiği düşüncesini desteklemiştir. Vergi affı uygulamalarında mükellefler arasındaki adaleti tesis etmek için dürüst mükelleflere yönelik uygun faizli ve ödemeli kredi alma, vergi indirimi, vergilerini faizsiz taksitlendirme, vergi iade işlemlerinde kolaylık gibi çeşitli imkanların sağlanması önem arzetmektedir.
POTENTIAL ROLE OF GUT MICROBIOTA IN OBESITY AND CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASES
Authors: Ashiq Sana , Ashiq Kanwal
Published: September 2021

From the past several decades to the present, obesity and cardiovascular diseases emerge as a major cause of mortality and morbidity, ultimately imposing a huge economic burden globally. In humans, a healthy gut microbiota metabolizes several indigestible dietary components which maintain host immune homeostasis, but an imbalanced host-microbiota is associated with various metabolic disorders including cardiovascular diseases and obesity. In this present review, we critically analyze the literature which provides better insight into the mechanistic link of gut microbiota with obesity and cardiovascular diseases. There is strong evidence that suggests the potential role of the gut microbiota in metabolic disorders including cardiovascular diseases and obesity. In addition, the different studies report that gut microbes can play a promising role in the management of obesity and the treatment of cardiovascular diseases. In the future, multidisciplinary approaches and advancements in culturing and molecular biology techniques can provide us a better understanding.
PREDICTORS OF MULTIVESSEL CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE IN YOUNG PATIENTS PRESENTING WITH ST-SEGMENT ELEVATION MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION
Authors: Mir Ayaz , Ullah Syed Zia , Muhammad Atif Sher , Farooq Faiza , Ammar Ali , Rehman Javaid Ur , Saghir Tahir
Published: September 2021

Objectives: Premature coronary artery disease (CAD) is on the rise in our population, and multivessel disease (MVD) is no longer an uncommon finding in young patients. Therefore, aim of this study was to determine the predictors of MVD in young patients who presented with ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI).
Methodology: For this study, we enrolled 294 young adult (18-40 years) patients with STEMI. MVD was diagnosed based on angiography. Demographic characteristics and baseline risk profiles were considered for the univariate and multivariate analyses to determine the predictors of MVD.
Results: Out of 294 patients, 90.5% (266) were males, and the mean age was 35.45 ± 4.07 years. Our 24.1% (71) patients were hypertensive (HTN), and 36.1% (106) were smokers. A total of 94 patients had MVD. Patients with MVD were older and more likely to have diabetes (DM) and HTN than their counterparts. Only age and DM were found to be significant independent predictors of MVD. The risk of developing MVD was higher in diabetics, with adjusted odds ratios (ORs) [95% CI] of 2.47 [1.23-4.97; p=0.011].
Conclusion: In conclusion, we showed that age and DM are independent predictors of MVD in a young Pakistani adult population presenting with STEMI. However, none of the other risk factors, such as obesity, male gender or smoking, were found to be significantly associated with MVD in Pakistani adults with premature CAD. Although significantly associated, HTN does not prove to be an independent predictor of multivessel CAD in young adults.
