Authors: Hama Yukihiro
Published: September 2023

Background: A bolus injection of prostaglandin-E1 (PGE1) into the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) immediately before SMA-portography can effectively visualize the portal vein.
Objective: The purpose of this study was to obtain basic pharmacoangiographical data and evaluate the hemodynamic changes following intra-arterial bolus injection of PGE1.
Materials and Methods: Forty-four consecutive patients undergoing transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) for liver cancer were retrospectively evaluated. SMA-portography was performed prior to TACE. An intra-arterial bolus injection of PGE1 was performed immediately before SMA-portography. Both SMA pressure and left brachial artery pressure were measured before, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 minutes after SMA-portography.
Results: Systolic pressure in the SMA decreased significantly 3 minutes after SMA-portography and remained low for 5 minutes. The maximum reduction rates in systolic and diastolic blood pressure in the SMA were 4.8% (4 minutes after SMA-portography) and 6.8% (5 minutes after SMA-portography), respectively. The left brachial artery pressure decreased similarly to the SMA. There were no significant changes in pulse pressure before or after PGE1 injection in either the SMA or brachial arteries.
Conclusion: A bolus injection of PGE1 into the SMA was shown to decrease blood pressure in the SMA and brachial arteries, but the pulse pressure remained constant.

Bog
Authors: Alić Sead
Published: September 2023

Ovaj tekst i ovaj pristup žele skrenuti pozornost na oblike ljudskog posredovanja ideje Boga; na smrt medija u kojima se Bog objavio, a koja koincidira sa gubitkom povjerenjem u ideju Boga, koja je previše ljudskom.U tom smislu govori se o ‘zemaljskom Bogu’ koji različitim interesnim grupama služi kao izgovor za djelovanje ili nedjelovanje.Ideja Boga vratila se njegovoj barbarskoj nazočnosti u životima naših naroda. Nebo je podijeljeno. Bog je postao izgovor za idole i njihove institucije, bogove među ljudima. Na pravim vjernicima je pokušati ujediniti nebo i pokušati čuti nebo nekim novim medijem.

In this context, "insurance policy" refers to an insurance contract that involves the payment of premiums to an insurance company in order to obtain financial protection from certain risks, such as property damage, health, or other unforeseen events. This means that some or all of the benefits derived from insurance claims will be allocated for charitable or social benefit purposes, such as helping people in need, supporting education, or building public facilities. The waqf of insurance policies is an innovation to explore the potential of wealth so that it can be empowered more optimally as much as possible for greater benefits and also solve the problems of the people.

La charge de lectrice à la cour de France au XVIIIe siècle
Authors: Gervais-Ledoux Emily
Published: September 2023

L’institutionnalisation de la lecture à la cour de Versailles est incarnée par les bibliothécaires, les lecteurs ou encore les lectrices de la famille royale auxquelles cet article est consacré et sur lesquelles les sources viennent à manquer. Il retrace le contexte de création de la charge de lectrice en 1749 et analyse les trajectoires des femmes nommées à cette fonction jusqu’à la Révolution, révélant leur appartenance sociale et les dynamiques à l’œuvre lors de leur désignation. Il transparait que par le jeu des clientèles, le patronage ou des stratégies matrimoniales, les lectrices cherchent à consolider la position de leur parentèle au sein de la commensalité, donnant naissance à une organisation progressive de réseaux féminins autour de la charge. Bénéficiant d’une éducation éclairée, elles valorisent leurs compétences et leurs talents dans les domaines artistiques et culturels et interviennent durant des temps de sociabilité dédiés aux loisirs. Les lectrices illustrent alors l’affirmation d’un savoir féminin à la cour qui devient un lieu de promotion intellectuelle pour les femmes.
Les éditeurs parisiens de chansons à la fin du Second Empire, censurés mais tolérés
Authors: Krakovitch Odile
Published: September 2023

À partir de 1867, les cafés-concerts, à Paris, connurent un tel essor qu’ils furent alignés sur la réglementation des théâtres, et contraints, comme ces derniers, de déposer les manuscrits et impressions de leur programme de chaque jour, chansons comme pièces, au ministère de l’Intérieur, chargé de la censure. Ce qui entraîna, en 1906, date de la suppression de la surveillance des spectacles, le dépôt, aux Archives, de milliers de chansons, autorisées ou interdites, et de petits vaudevilles. Ce fonds énorme, qui a l’avantage, par rapport aux fonds du Département de la musique, à la Bibliothèque nationale, d’être classé par ordre chronologique et non pas alphabétique, permet d’étudier et de recenser ce répertoire de chansons populaires, publiées sous forme de feuilles volantes, souvent abondamment illustrées, distribuées à la sortie des spectacles. Leurs éditeurs remplacèrent les colporteurs dont la disparition est quasi totale à la fin du Second Empire. Bien que très surveillés pour « les mœurs légères », « les prostituées et proxénètes, les anecdotes licencieuses », racontés dans les chansons, ces éditeurs, grands et petits, se font concurrence, en créant recueils et collections parfois tirés jusqu’à 3 000 exemplaires, avec une iconographie parfois très riche, dans le désir évident de faire de la chanson une discipline reconnue, et de constituer un répertoire chanté et diffusé dans toutes les classes de la société.

Authors: Asego Larry
Published: September 2023

Authors: Suchana Afroza Aziz
Published: September 2023

Using qualitative content analysis, the research revealed that visual images serve as a vital tool for effective communication, enhancing students’ skills, and reflecting social practices.

Инструменты бережливого производства: система организации рабочего места 5S
Authors: Лосев В. В. , Сарамуд М. В. , Ковалев И. В.
Published: September 2023

Инструменты и технологии бережливого производства становятся стандартом «де факто» во многих отраслях промышленности и там, где преобладает ручной, мастерский труд, и там где осуществляется развитая система разделения труда. Ориентация на отладку процесса становится главной задачей по упорядочиванию многих факторов связанных с сокращением времени на непроизводственные действия, организацией рабочего места и расположением инструментов и материалов, коммуникации и связи с другими участниками процесса, непосредственное сокращение барака путем ответственного отношения к ресурсам и материалам, а также целенаправленное поддержание чистоты и порядка в помещении. Рассматриваемая система 5S направлена на методичное снижение числа несчастных случаев; повышение уровня качества продукции, снижение количества дефектов; создание комфортного психологического климата, стимулирование желания работать; повышение производительности труда. Формально, методология ориентирована на ряд циклически связанных операций, и сопровождающихся следующими действиями: отделение нужных предметов от ненужных предметов из рабочей зоны; нужные предметы содержаться так, что их возможно легко использовать; рабочее пространство содержится в чистоте и порядке; закрепление цикла действий как нового навыка (стандарта). Однако при всей простоте методологии, существует один очень важный фактор ­– это человеческий фактор, связанный с нежеланием что-либо менять, причем как в плане организации рабочего места, так и перехода на новые принципы выполнения работы. И здесь особую роль выполняет организатор изменений – человек с навыками высокой коммуникации, способный убедить в правильности применяемых подходов, их целесообразности и экономической эффективности. Неоспоримым достоинством методологии 5S является возможность сквозной коммуникации, как горизонтальной, так и вертикальной, возможность услышать рациональные идеи от работников выполняющих конкретные действия. Вторым значимым преимуществом является низкам стоимость внедрения системы 5S, поскольку многие улучшения могут быть внедрены только за счет пересмотра производственных действий персонала.

Language is the fundamental trait of human beings through which they communicate with each other. Every human language has four primary skills of language: listening, speaking, reading, and writing. Listening and reading are considered receptive skills, whereas speaking and writing are regarded as productive skills. An individual has to get mastery over all four skills to get command on any language. Textbooks are significant sources to educate students in all subjects. Similarly, in teaching and learning a non-native language, the use of textbooks is indispensable. To enable students’ competency in all four skills, ELT teachers take the help of textbooks in the classrooms. This study aims to find out the presentation of language skills in the textbooks that are used to teach the English language to HSC I and II in Balochistan, Pakistan. For this study, textbooks were analyzed for language skills by using a checklist prepared by Abdul (2013). It was intended to find out the skills that are focused on and the skills that are neglected in the textbooks. The study concluded that the textbook content is predominantly for reading and writing skills. Listening is ignored; however, some of the activities and exercises trigger the speaking skills of the students. It is, therefore recommended that the textbook content be modified and a balanced proportion of the language skills should be included to provide plenty of opportunities to practice all four skills in the classroom under teachers’ guidance.

An abstract is the main part of a Research Article (RA) that gives a major outlook of the whole article and it makes the reader decide to read or leave a particular article. It is less studied part in terms of research, especially in the context of Pakistan. Therefore, this study is aimed to compare the abstracts of research articles written by native (American) and non-native (Pakistani) authors. The focus of the current study is to investigate the frequency and percentage of each move of RA abstracts composed by native and non-native writers of English. To achieve this end, a corpus of 30 native and 30 non-native abstracts is collected and Hyland’s (2000) five-move model is applied to analyse the data. The results show that the move 1 (Introduction) occurred in all (60) abstracts and it is obligatory in Pakistani as well as American context. Furthermore, the results show that the difference in Conclusion move in Pakistani abstracts is 73%. On the other hand, the frequency of remaining three moves including purpose, method and product is similar in American and Pakistani contexts with minor differences. It is recommended that more comparative research be done on this specific subject utilizing more data sources.

Reverse logistics and circular economy: A literature review
Authors: Biancolin Marta
Published: September 2023

The application of circular economy (CE) principles in reverse logistics (RL) processes involves the recovery, recycling, reuse and remanufacturing of materials that return from the consumer to the producer. This literature review assesses whether the manufacturing sector, technology, supply chain (SC) structure, customers’ preferences, and policy makers influence the diffusion of circular RL, highlighting the strategies adopted by companies. The results show different levels of circular RL implementation in different industries. Technology is an enabler but also an obstacle, as it requires large financial resources and a skilled workforce. The involvement of all SC stakeholders proves to be a critical factor in the successful implementation of circular RL, although the likelihood of success depends significantly on producers being the initiators. Policymakers also play a key role in guiding business investment in circular RL projects. This article summarizes the literature on CE and RL on analytical dimensions rarely studied together, providing researchers, companies and public decision makers with an overview of the most critical factors influencing the management of RL within circular processes. Controversial findings, open questions, and promising lines of future research are also outlined.
3D computed tomography intravascular endoscopy

Using coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA), coronary plaques can be characterized based on both their morphology and composition. Coronary plaques are generally assessed on 2D axial and multiplanar reformatted images. Nevertheless, these visualization tools are limited to observing extraluminal changes in the coronary artery. The presence of plaques prevents them from providing a visual representation of the intraluminal coronary wall. Since its invention in 2000, coronary fly-through or virtual angioscopy (VA) has been extensively studied. However, its application was limited because it required an optimal CT scan and time-consuming post-processing. In recent years, advances in post-processing software have made construction of VA easier, but until recently the quality of the images was insufficient for most patients. Using 3D intravascular endoscopy (3DIE) visualization, we present various intraluminal appearances of the coronary wall and plaque in relation to various types of plaque.
