Casting concrete underwater is concrete used for structural work underwater. The main problem in underwater casting is the separation of concrete constituent materials. Casting underwater also does not involve compaction. This study will examine the effect of peat water on the physical properties of underwater cast concrete. The additive used in this study is in liquid form, with a mixture of anti-washout material 1.8% and self-compacting concrete 5% to the weight of cement. The obtained slump flow value is 470 mm. The results of volume weight testing on variations of clean water mixtures immersed in clean water for seven days are 2248,14 kg/m3 and 2258,96 kg/m3 for 28 days, variations of clean water mixtures immersed in peat water for seven days are 2224,49 kg/m3 and 2219,39 kg/m3 for 28 days, and variations of peat water mixtures immersed in peat water for seven days are 2202,50 kg/m3 and 2191,08 kg/m3 for 28 days. The decrease in volume weight occurs in variations immersed in peat water. The results of porosity testing on 7-day and 28-day concrete age variations of peat water mixtures immersed in peat water are 9,94% and 10,78%, variations of clean water mixtures immersed in peat water are 9,84% and 10,28%, and variations of clean water mixtures immersed in clean water are 9,73% and 8,70%. The SEM test results show the surface shape of concrete using a magnification of 1000x, more pores on variations of peat water mixtures immersed in peat water, and variations of clean water mixtures immersed in peat water have uneven surfaces and pores. In contrast, variations of clean water mixtures immersed in clean water have better surfaces. The additive used can work well with peat water and clean water.

To make the structure stronger and stiffer, which is more susceptible to earthquake forces, a special mechanism is required to improve the structure's lateral stability. EBF-V with a horizontal link beam is a brace that can enhance structural performance by providing good stiffness and ductility. On the other hand, GGBFS, as a partial OPC replacement material, was applied to contribute to using more environmentally friendly materials. Besides offering a smaller carbon footprint, GGBFS also positively improves the mechanical properties of concrete. Thus, this study focuses on investigating the crack propagation pattern of reinforced concrete braced frames combined with 20% GGBFS in EBF-V with three variations of link beam element lengths of 0 cm (CBF), 15 cm (EBF-V-) and 25 cm (EBF-V-25). As a result, the CBF specimen showed the best seismic performance. In EBF specimens, there is an increase in the collapse mechanism to be more ductile. The link beam plays a role in making the crack pattern more focused. EBF-V-15 performs well under seismic loading with large lateral capacity and ductility. The cracks in the frame are evenly distributed, dominated by fine cracks, and symmetrical on both sides. This validates that GGBFS plays a good role in improving the frame performance with its pore-filling effect and pozzolanic reaction.
Duurzaamheid in de operatiezaal: waar staan Vlaamse dierenartsen in het scheiden van afval en het hergebruik van materiaal?
Authors: Haverkort T. , Haardt H. , Martens A.
Published: June 2024

De grote hoeveelheid afval die in operatiezalen wordt geproduceerd, is een belangrijk probleem met significante gevolgen, zoals de bijdrage tot de huidige klimaatverandering. Het doel van deze studie was informatie te verkrijgen over de houding en gebruiken van Vlaamse dierenartsen omtrent duurzaamheid in de operatiezaal. Dit werd gedaan middels een enquête met 22 respondenten. Uit de enquête bleek dat de meeste respondenten (86%) verduurzaming (zeer) belangrijk vinden. Wat betreft afvalsortering hanteren de meeste respondenten naast restafval de volgende afvalstromen: gele naaldcontainers (95%), papier (82%), plastic (73%), glas (64%) en medisch afval (55%). Slechts een beperkt percentage van de respondenten hergebruikt materialen: operatiedoeken (18%), operatieschorten (57%), operatiemutsen (28%) en urinesondes (18%). De belangrijkste redenen voor het beperkt hergebruik van materiaal zijn de vrees dat het niet steriel genoeg is (50%), het niet beschikken over het juiste toestel voor hersterilisatie (50%) en de tijd die aan hersterilisatie besteed wordt (36%). Een eerste aanbeveling voor verduurzaming is uitgebreidere afvalsortering. Door meer afvalstromen te hanteren naast restafval, kan meer gerecycleerd worden. Daarnaast kan meer materiaal hergebruikt worden. De hoeveelheid afval kan gereduceerd worden door bijvoorbeeld operatieschorten te hergebruiken. Tenslotte kan ingezet worden op educatie om de kennis en bewustwording betreffende het belang van verduurzaming en correct afvalbeleid te vergroten.

Published: June 2024

Los manglares son ecosistemas de gran riqueza biológica. Aunque es raro encontrar epífitas sobre los árboles del manglar, se han registrado orquídeas, bromelias, cactáceas y aráceas; sin embargo, los estudios sobre la diversidad especies de epífitas vasculares en ecosistemas de manglar son escasos. El objetivo de este trabajo fue determinar la composición florística y distribución vertical de las epífitas vasculares asociadas a los forófitos del manglar ribereño en la comunidad de Ramonal, Othón P. Blanco, Quintana Roo. Se evaluó la relación de la altura y el diámetro a la altura del pecho (DAP) de los forófitos con la riqueza epífitas, además de la altura de colonización en el forófito. También se contaron y midieron las epífitas y forófitos. Para el análisis de diversidad de epífitas se emplearon los índices de Shannon-Wiener y Simpson. Se evaluó una superficie total de 769.3 m2, en donde se registraron cinco especies de forófitos (n=60). El principal forófito fue Rizophora mangle. La familia de epífitas con más especies fue Orchidaceae (cinco), seguida de Bromeliaceae (tres), Araceae (dos) y por último Cactaceae (una), similar a lo encontrado en otros ecosistemas del Neotrópico. Los índices de diversidad sugieren una diversidad media de epífitas. La colonización de epífitas fue más frecuente en tallos y raíces de R. mangle, proba-blemente influenciado por su corteza, microclima, abundancia y arquitectura, facilitando su establecimiento. Hasta ahora, este trabajo es el registro más completo para este valioso ecosistema, por lo que podría ser una importante herramienta para integrar estrategias de conservación y gestión.

Published: June 2024

Among hematological diseases, Multiple myeloma (MM) is the second most common malignancy in adults worldwide. In the vast majority of cases, MM remains incurable, despite improvements in progression-free survival and overall survival due to advances in pharmacotherapy, as well as the emergence of innovative drugs in recent years. Unfortunately, this does not prevent patients from relapse and, ultimately, multidrug resistance and poor prognosis. In conditions of limited funding, one of the determining factors for the success of therapy is the cost of treatment. There is a need to conduct a clinical and economic analysis of the use of targeted drugs to determine the most economically feasible treatment option. The purpose of the review is to provide an overview of current and experimental treatments for relapsed/refractory MM (RRMM), with an emphasis on their pharmacoeconomic availability to assist clinicians in their decision-making process. Let's look at the latest data that will help improve approaches to the treatment of this still incurable disease and analyze pharmacoeconomic studies of modern expensive treatment regimens for RRMM in various countries.

Objective: Cclinical evaluation of the effectiveness and safety of the effect of the regulatory polypeptide drug on neurogenic overactive bladder (OAB) in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS).

Materials and methods: 41 patients with MS and urodynamically confirmed detrusor overactivity were included in a prospective, single-center, simple comparative clinical trial with sequential drug changes. The initial function of the lower urinary tract and its dynamic changes during therapy were studied by filling out a voiding diary and questionnaires using the EDSS, NBSS, SF-Qualiveen, I-QOL questionnaires. The control drug Solifenacin (patient group 1) is a specific competitive antagonist of muscarinic receptors of the M3 subtype, which causes detrusor contraction. The Study Drug (patient group 2) is a complex of regulatory polypeptides that have an organotropic effect on the bladder. Drug administration: control drug for 4 weeks, then an observation period of 4 weeks, after which - taking the Study Drug for 30 days. The results were monitored immediately after the end of taking the Study Drugs, after which they were compared with the initial data. Statistical analysis was carried out by the program “Statistica 10” (StatSoft Inc., USA), using non-parametric data analysis with median analysis, Wilcoxon test and Mann-Whitney U-test search. The results of differences were considered statistically significant if the probability of error was <5% (p<0.05).

Results: Vvoiding diary: 14.6% and 24.4% of patients in groups 1 and 2, respectively, were freed from urinary incontinence; from nocturia —- 31.7% and 56.1% of patients for groups 1 and 2, respectively, the frequency of daily urination was normalized in 53.6% and 70.7% of patients in groups 1 and 2, respectively. NBSS questionnaire: decrease in the total questionnaire score by 29.2% and 47.4% for groups 1 and 2, respectively. SF-Qualiveen questionnaire: an increase in the overall assessment score by 42.3% for group 1 versus +66.5% for group 2. I-QOL questionnaire: improvement in quality of life by 56.0% and 80.4% for groups 1 and 2, respectively. The Study Drug has a higher safety profile compared to Solifenacin.

Conclusion: Tthe effectiveness of the Study Drug in the correction of neurogenic OAB is higher in comparison with Solifenacin, which is reflected in a decrease in urgency, pollakiuria, the number of episodes of urinary incontinence and a significant improvement in the quality of life of these patients. The Study Drug demonstrates a high safety profile in the study.

Published: June 2024

Generally pituitary tumors have a benign growth, however, there are difficulties in diagnosis and treatment because of non-specific symptoms and the inability to predict the tumor growth. In clinical practice a hormonal activity of tumors has the significant role. To a greater extent, pituitary adenomas are prolactinomas, but the hypersecretion of prolactin could be combined with an excessive production of somatotropic hormone. In this case, the clinical picture of hyperprolactinemia is accompanied by acromegaly symptoms. The presented clinical case demonstrates the main reasons for the clinical appointment such as menstrual cycle disorders, prenatal preparation. A hyperprolactinemia has been detected, but as a treatment result, drug compensation was achieved and pregnancy occurred, then the woman gave birth without obstetric complications. Subsequently, other complaints arose, which expanded the diagnostic search and revealed the presence of a plurihormonal tumor.
Development and Assessment of a Point-of-Care Application (Genomic Medicine Guidance) for Heritable Thoracic Aortic Disease
Authors: Patil Rohan , Ashraf Fatima , Abu Dayeh Samer , Prakash Siddharth K
Published: June 2024

Background

Genetic testing can determine familial and personal risks for heritable thoracic aortic aneurysms and dissections (TAD). The 2022 American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association guidelines for TAD recommend management decisions based on the specific gene mutation. However, many clinicians lack sufficient comfort or insight to integrate genetic information into clinical practice.

Objective

We therefore developed the Genomic Medicine Guidance (GMG) application, an interactive point-of-care tool to inform clinicians and patients about TAD diagnosis, treatment, and surveillance. GMG is a REDCap-based application that combines publicly available genetic data and clinical recommendations based on the TAD guidelines into one translational education tool.

Methods

TAD genetic information in GMG was sourced from the Montalcino Aortic Consortium, a worldwide collaboration of TAD centers of excellence, and the National Institutes of Health genetic repositories ClinVar and ClinGen.

Results

The application streamlines data on the 13 most frequently mutated TAD genes with 2286 unique pathogenic mutations that cause TAD so that users receive comprehensive recommendations for diagnostic testing, imaging, surveillance, medical therapy, and preventative surgical repair, as well as guidance for exercise safety and management during pregnancy. The application output can be displayed in a clinician view or exported as an informative pamphlet in a patient-friendly format.

Conclusions

The overall goal of the GMG application is to make genomic medicine more accessible to clinicians and patients while serving as a unifying platform for research. We anticipate that these features will be catalysts for collaborative projects aiming to understand the spectrum of genetic variants contributing to TAD.

Environmental Sustainability of Livestock Systems
Authors: Place Sara E.
Published: June 2024

Sustainability of livestock systems encompasses social, economic, and environmental concerns. Environmental sustainability issues surrounding livestock production include greenhouse gas emissions, land use, water use, and water quality. Mitigating negative environmental contributions and enhancing positive contributions from livestock production is critical for the long-term viability of the industry. While livestock production can impact the environment, livestock can in turn be affected by environmental conditions. Climate change poses unique challenges for livestock production in the future via impacts on feed availability, quality, and potential for increased thermal stress on livestock themselves. In aggregate, livestock production must adapt to both societal expectations and climatic conditions in the future, which will require both technical solutions and viable socioeconomic drivers to encourage implementation of solutions.

Using individual tractor wheel drive through electric traction
Authors: Bizhaev А. V. , Vetrova S. M. , Barchukova A. S. , Krivyh N. S.
Published: June 2024

In agriculture, tractors serve as the principal machinery for performing traction and driving operations. They are mainly powered by diesel engines with an efficiency of about 40 percent. Electric motors boast an efficiency of 95 percent, presenting the opportunity to serve as independent drives for tractor wheels. The study review existing individual wheel drive systems, revealing operational efficiency improvements of up to 20 percent. A comparative analysis was conducted between tractors using traditional power units and those equipped with electric drive systems. The study also examined factors affecting tractor traction and explored methods to enhance the traction capabilities of these vehicles. (Research purpose) The study aims to evaluate the feasibility of using electric traction for individual drive systems in tractor wheels. (Materials and methods) A concept for controlling individual wheel drives has been developed, as well as an algorithm specifically for managing electric wheels. Additionally, a method has been proposed for detecting slippage, which triggers the switching of the electric wheel drive to the appropriate mode. Furthermore, a new indicator, the «slip factor,» has been introduced to correlate slip with adhesion coefficients. The value of this parameter is used as a criterion for transitioning the electric drive to a different operational mode. (Results and discussion) Traction tests were conducted on the MTZ-82.1 tractor across various supporting surfaces. The measured slip factors were as follows: 0.71 for a cropped field, 0.86 for stubble, 1.19 for fallow land, and 1.74 for asphalt pavement. To accurately assess the wheel’s performance under real conditions, torque measurements were taken using a specialized locking device. These measurements revealed angular displacements of the shaft by 0.2 degrees when subjected to a tangential traction force of 3 kilonewtons on the wheel. (Conclusions) The slip factor for the MTZ-82.1 tractor has been determined. A mathematical model has been proposed that links the wheel’s adhesion properties with slipping. The model proves to be applicable up to a slip limit of 30 percent. This multifactorial approach enables the creation of an adaptive program to enhance wheel efficiency. Additionally, the capability to measure wheel torque has been established.

Authors:   Academy of Film, Television and Internet (Bulgaria), Zhamanova Amina A. ,   European Association of Audiovisual Communications (Northern Macedonia)
Published: June 2024

This article is focused on the reconstruction of major stage productions based on Eugene O’Neill’s autobiographical play Long Day’s Journey into Night (1941). The author reviews the American tragedy staged by Latin American directors Jose Quintero (Helen Hayes Theatre, New York, 1956) and Luciano Suardi (Teatro San Martin, Buenos Aires, 2023). Special attention is paid to the first screen version of the play (directed by Sidney Lumet, USA, 1962) and its last staging on Broadway (directed by Jonathan Kent, American Airlines Theatre, New York, 2016). Also under scrutiny are Eugene O’Neill’s private correspondence with the Spanish translator of his plays Leon Mirlas and the negotiations held between director Elia Kazan and playwright’s widow Carlotta Monterey O’Neill. For the first time in the history of Russian theatre studies we see an attempt to identify the causes for a failed U.S. Premiere of O’Neill’s tragedy in 1956 under Kazan’s direction.
Stanley Kowalski’s T-shirt, Metatheater, Intermediality, and Grotesque: Monographs on Tennessee Williams
Authors:   Lomonosov Moscow State University, Rybina Polina Yu.
Published: June 2024

Published in 2021, both monographs on Tennessee Williams — Stanley Gontarski’s Tennessee Williams, T-shirt Modernism and the Refashionings of Theater and Laura Michiels’ The Metatheater of Tennessee Williams: Tracing the Artistic Process Through Seven Plays perform the dual task of offering new perspectives on the playwright’s wellstudied plays and elaborating on the lesser-known material with its non-obvious cultural functions. Researchers show the complexity of Williams’ late oeuvre, demonstrating how his plays of the 1960s and early 1980s continue theatrical experiments of the second half of the 20th century. Developing the themes of his earlier period (theatricality of life and experience, the vulnerability of beauty and artistry, the fragility of memory, and the conflicts between the strong and the weak), Williams has enriched both poetic and naturalistic theater styles through absurdist aesthetics, his use of stylistic excess and an emphasis on metatheatre — spectacles about spectacles. Gontarski's book discusses Williams' influence on subsequent popular culture and its representation of the images of masculinity. Gontarski shows how Williams' success across the Atlantic depended on censorship (“The Lord Chamberlain’s Blue Pencil” being an intriguing part of Chapter 2) or greater stage freedom (Sweden). Late plays (In the Bar of a Tokyo Hotel, Two-Character Play, Clothes for a Summer Hotel) allow the author to take a closer look at Williams’ absurdist poetics and the intriguing process of “becoming Beckett,” which the American playwright reenacts. Laura Michiels explores different types of metatheater in Williams’s work: “mythical” (Orpheus Descending), “esoteric” (Two-Character Play), “marauding” (Clothes for the Summer Hotel), “multiplying" and “negotiating” (Sweet Bird of Youth, Something Cloudy, Something Clear). Michiels shows how Williams' dramas open up to issues important for contemporary interdisciplinary studies: the audience’s emotional and affective responsiveness, the work of memory, and intermedial dialogism. Michiels’ book offers a wide range of tools for unpacking metatheatricality of the 20th-century drama.
American Double / American Psycho and the Writer’s Block
Authors:   Saint-Petersburg State University, Golovacheva Irina V.
Published: June 2024

The article focuses on American fiction and detective thrillers where the writer and his double feature as central characters. Such a combination has not previously received special attention. The divided mind provides a wide range of possibilities for fascination and exploring the fundamental fears of fragmentation and potential destruction of the Self. In Stephen King’s novella “Secret Window, Secret Garden” (1990), crime, duplicity, madness and dissociative amnesia are integrated into the story of the writer's block. The present article, among other things, analyzes the adaptation of the novella — David Koepp’s Secret Window, 2004. Besides, it highlights the changes that the script underwent. Koepp came up with his own ending that was radically different from the Epilogue of King's story. Alongside with madness proper, King's horror and Koepp's film deconstruct the writer’s block as the result of unresolved traumas and the cause of a whole bunch of pathologies, as well as the fear of breakdown. The novella and its screen version are, in fact, phenomenological studies of mental disorders. A close comparative analysis shows that the film offers a rare example of the superiority of adaptation over the original. A particular attention in the article is paid to the imagery of ears of corn in the film, functioning both as a cannibalistic grotesque and as a visual metaphor of success.
Lyn Hejinian’s Writing. Poetic Language as Language of Inquiry
Authors:   Institute of Linguistics of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Feshchenko Vladimir V.
Published: June 2024

The article is devoted to the poetics of contemporary American writer Lyn Hejinian (1941–2024), considered one of the most consistent successors of Gertrude Stein's experimentalism in Anglophone literary writing. The study encompasses all stages of Hejinian’s poetic creativity: from early experiences of “language writing” in the 1960–70s, autobiographical texts and collective works of the 1980–90s, to theoretical and poetic quests in the first decades of the 21st century. The writer's main interest is the persistence and impermanence of memory and the subject, as well as the role of writing in their preservation and transformation. Descriptions of the writing process as a driving force of memory and experience come to the fore here. Syntax acts as the materialization of temporality in writing. Texts in a variety of formats explore natural and cultural worlds brought to life by language. Many of Hejinian's texts, both theoretical and artistic, explore the problem of language as a social space, as a philosophical search and as political pragmatics, as well as the problem of the relationship of time to language and language to time. The book The Language of Inquiry has become a kind of manifesto for poetic language, which is the “language of inquiry.” A special place in the book is occupied by essays about Gertrude Stein, which actualize the writing practices of the great American modernist in the contemporary context of language-oriented poetics. In her work of the recent years, Hejinian increasingly turns to social themes, never ceasing to experiment with the boundaries of the poetic. She puts forward a theory of so-called “allegorical activism,” which is understood as “artistic and political practice in the service of activating creative potential in everyday life.”
Secrets of Vertical Art. Oxford Lectures on Poetry by Simon Armitage
Authors:   Lomonosov Moscow State University, Polosina Natalia K.
Published: June 2024

A Vertical Art. On Poetry is a collection of essays in literary criticism by Simon Armitage, Poet Laureate of Great Britain, who based them on a series of his lectures delivered as Oxford Professor of Poetry. The framework of the book is a practice-oriented theory of poetry as a “vertical art” applied to reading a wide range of British and American authors mostly from the mid-20th century up to the present day, but reaching from time to time into the literary past. “Verticality” is a quality of poetic form that is actively engaging reader’s imagination and perception. It implies a demand for inner organization resisting the formlessness of a white page and self-restraining while choosing its own means. The result is a rhythmic pattern, both aural and visual, much unlike the “horizontalness” of extensively growing prose. The rhythmic pattern here is a broad definition covering an interplay between the lucid and the indirect, the sound and the silence, the sign and the gap on various levels. Discussing poetry in the book also involves literary institutions, in particular the contemporary Americanised model of interaction between the poet and the academia through creative writing courses. Apart from the canonical figures of American Renaissance (W. Whitman, E. Dickinson), Armitage’s perspective on American poetry includes E. Bishop, R. Lowell, A.R. Ammons, W.H. Auden, Thom Gunn, Bob Dylan, J. Wright, F. Wright, M. Donaghy, K. Young.

Published: June 2024

The review is devoted to the main topics and events of the international conference organized by the Department of Ibero-Roman Linguistics at the Faculty of Philology of Moscow State University — “The Second Latin American Readings” (November 23–24, 2023). The work of the conference took place in two plenary sessions and four panels, one of which was devoted exclusively to the literature of Latin America. A total of 52 papers were presented, covering a wide scope of problems of Latin American studies, including linguistic, literary, cultural, art, and historical aspects. The plenary sessions included reports on significant phenomena and general trends in the development of Latin American culture, such as the characteristics of the Latin American world view formation in literature, the emergence of a national school of artistic translation in Mexico, and the genesis and formation of abolitionist prose in Cuba. The panels shed light on specific aspects of the continent's literature: issues of individual poetics, the history of individual works, artistic types and genres, as well as illuminating examples of cultural ties between our country and Latin America. The papers were chiefly accompanied by vivid presentations, and the meeting ended with a concert of Latin American music.
“Through Mexico to the Soviet Union”: German Emigrant Writers in Mexico during the World War II and Their Contacts with the USSR
Authors:   A.M. Gorky Institute of World Literature of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Dobryashkina Anna V.
Published: June 2024

The article is devoted to the history of the German writers’ emigration during the Second World War in Mexico. Mexico was not a major center of German emigration like the Soviet Union or the United States, but the Mexican government supported anti-fascist émigrés who were in France before its occupation. The Mexican consulate in Marseille issued visas to many German writers, but only Anna Seghers was able to move from France to Mexico. Bodo Uhse and Ludwig Renn went there from the United States, Alfred Kantorovicz and Hans Marchwitza had to stay in the United States, because transit through the USA became impossible since 1941. German writers maintained constant contact with the Soviet Writers’ Union. Correspondence often did not reach the addressees, but before the establishment of diplomatic relations between the USSR and Mexico, this was the only way to exchange information. The small German colony in Mexico was engaged in active antifascist activities. The movement “Free Germany” (“Freies Deutschland”) was organized in Mexico a year and a half earlier than the National Committee “Free Germany” in the USSR. Although it seemed that they were two branches of the same organization, in fact they were two different entities with different goals and with the same name. At this moment an internal conflict among the German Communists became apparent; years later it had tragic consequences. After the surrender of Germany, German writers were not able to go directly to their homeland, since the American law prohibiting transit through the United States was still in force. In 1946–1948 German writers were leaving Mexico on Soviet cargo ships: they could get to Germany only through the Soviet Union.

Authors:   , Silva Caroline Rafaela Lopes da
Published: June 2024

Considerando a importância que a estética facial tem tomado na sociedade e a relevância do sorriso dentro do conjunto facial, sendo um veículo de comunicação e tendo um grande impacto na autoestima das pessoas, esta revisão sistemática objetiva evidenciar os benefícios da aplicação da toxina botulínica do tipo A na estética do sorriso. O estudo teve como objetivo revisar a literatura sobre a aplicação de toxina botulínica na estética do sorriso em pacientes com sorriso gengival. A busca foi realizada em bases de dados eletrônicas e lista de referência dos artigos identificados. Os seguintes descritores, nas línguas portuguesa, foram utilizados: “toxina botulínica A”, “estética” e “sorriso”. A busca eletrônica inicial resultou em 21 manuscritos. O processo de análise dos estudos envolveu leitura de títulos, resumos e textos completos dos quais foram inclusos artigos em língua portuguesa no período de 2013 a 2023, disponíveis integralmente. Após todas essas fases, 9 manuscritos preencheram os critérios de inclusão da revisão. Para seleção dos artigos utilizou-se as bases BVS, LILACS, PubMed e BBO. Pode-se concluir que a utilização da toxina botulínica como abordagem conservadora para corrigir o sorriso gengival por cirurgiões-dentistas é uma opção rápida, segura e eficaz, desde que haja um profundo entendimento da anatomia facial, seleção da dose adequada e da técnica correta, juntamente com a correta equivalência de dose, assegurando a segurança do procedimento, melhorando a estética do sorriso e a satisfação do paciente. No entanto, devido à natureza temporária do efeito da toxina, que requer retoques em intervalos adequados, é importante realizar mais pesquisas para entender completamente o impacto a longo prazo da toxina botulínica no organismo humano.

Published: June 2024

Thomas Ballhausen's (author and philosopher) and Elena Peytchinska's (Institute of Fine Arts & Media Art – Stage and Film Design) contribution "Herbarium of Words: Literary Style at the Scale of a Street" artistically explores the interrelations of space, language, and literature and takes us on a walk through Vienna’s streets. The herbarium serves as a point of departure for historical observations, which is seen as a form of subjective and personal archiving of urban experiences by means of linguization. Their performative approach combines film stills, poetry, and theoretical backgrounds to transform the boundaries of text and bibliographic formats.
