Multi-View Urban Scene Classification with a Complementary-Information Learning Model
Authors: Geng Wanxuan , Zhou Weixun , Jin Shuanggen
Published: December 2021

Traditional urban scene-classification approaches focus on images taken either by satellite or in aerial view. Although single-view images are able to achieve satisfactory results for scene classification in most situations, the complementary information provided by other image views
is needed to further improve performance. Therefore, we present a complementary information-learning model (CILM) to perform multi-view scene classification of aerial and ground-level images. Specifically, the proposed CILM takes aerial and ground-level image pairs as input to
learn view-specific features for later fusion to integrate the complementary information. To train CILM, a unified loss consisting of cross entropy and contrastive losses is exploited to force the network to be more robust. Once CILM is trained, the features of each view are
extracted via the two proposed feature-extraction scenarios and then fused to train the support vector machine classifier for classification. The experimental results on two publicly available benchmark data sets demonstrate that CILM achieves remarkable performance, indicating that
it is an effective model for learning complementary information and thus improving urban scene classification.
AJO “YANG POLITIS”: MENGGUGAT REZIM PARTISI DALAM CERPEN ROBOHNYA SURAU KAMI KARYA A.A. NAVIS
Authors: Yudhistira Nasution Ricky
Published: December 2021

This study aims to examine partitions and political actions in A.A. Navis’s short story “Robohnya Surau Kami” using Jacques Rancière’s concept of the distribution of the sensible theory. The method used in this study is qualitative descriptive research. It is important to recognize the awareness of the subject as part of the social class. This social class becomes the agent for various imaginary subjects constructed through discourse. The story indicates that there are characters who have been partitioned through the practice of polis and thus making them experience inequalities and restrictions. To escape from these, they need to carry out a political action (disensus; declassification; migration). The results showed that the Grandfather as protagonist was partitioned in the social structure based on his identity as a clergyman. This identity was used as a legitimizing sensibility to partition Grandfather as a “the part that has no part”. The partition that happened to him fits the Archipolitic and Parapolitic concepts. Meanwhile, the dissensus action aimed at declassifying was carried out by Ajo Sidi who created an allegory for Grandfather. In this allegory, Ajo presents a figure of God who challenges the partition regime as dissensus and subjectivating the figure of Haji Saleh/Grandfather as declassification. Based on this, Ajo Sidi can be said to be “the political” subject.
Practical Methods of GIS for Archaeologists: Viewshed Analysis – The Kingdom of Pylos example
Authors: Malaperdas George D.
Published: December 2021

Visibility (or Viewshed) Analysis in archeology is a function given through GIS, in purpose to contribute in the field of archaeology and especially in landscape archeology, by reconstituting the visual panorama of a study area of the past.  The concept of landscape archeology is a multidimensional research process that is not limited to archaeologists but places a special emphasis on a multidisciplinary approach. Mycenaean Messenia was the area of study and analysis of the visual panorama for two important reasons. First of all, it is a large area, which presents territories of varying heterogeneity in terms of morphology, while having a large sea front and an open observation horizon. Secondly, it is one of the continental regions of the Mycenaean period, which has evoked the largest number of residential facilities, structures and tombs, and also has been extensively studied by archaeologists since the 1920s. The main aim of this paper is to make an effort to identify archaeological information, through the bibliographic references of the archaeologists who studied the area, with the GIS visibility analysis. For that reason, the author tries for those residential locations that have been assigned a role or function of the site by archaeologists, such as an observation station, to be controlled in parallel and on the basis of new technologies (GIS and Viewshed Analysis) if this view is verified.

Introduction

 Multi-resistant tuberculosis is a major problem of public health concern and an endless cycle that ravages the population, particularly children because of the difficulty of controlling the disease. Thus, early detection of cases helps ensure adequate treatment and prevent the spread of the strain in the community.

 Methods

We present here the case of a child with multidrug-resistant tuberculosis monitored at the Medical Center of Medical Center of the company RVA.

Results

It is a case of 4-year-old patient with general signs and had an aunt who died of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis. On admission, the child was in good general condition, weighing 14 kg and 90 Cm height. The clinical examination noted crackling rales at the level of two pulmonary bases and the chest x-ray showed multiple confluent nodular opacities in places with excavations. Laboratory workup showed 8.5 mg% microcytic hypochromic anemia and inflammatory syndrome. Sputum was tested for Koch's Bacillus on direct examination and both smears were positive. The Mycobacterium tuberculosis strain was isolated on Lowenstein Jenssen's medium. The Gen-Xpert MTB / RIF detected resistance to rifampicin and the Hain test performed showed resistance to rifampicin and Isoniazid. The child was put on ethambutol, ciprofloxacin, kanamycin, ethionamide, cycloserine, pyrazinamide and Vitamin B6 with good tolerability. The course was marked by weight gain (2 kg) and BK negativation in the second month of treatment.

Conclusion

Early detection of tuberculosis, especially multidrug-resistant tuberculosis is a crucial element in ensuring adequate treatment of cases and preventing the spread of germs in the population.

Neurological conditions , represent a group of disorders that are responsible for   the commonest etiologies of death all over  the world  which account practically for  total cases of initiation of dementia in the   aged ,besides their capacity ofhavinga negative impact  on the motor capacity,mental  and cognitive  abilities andhaving a sense of total well being, besides happiness.At present maximum Neurological  disorders(ND) remain without any appropriate treatment. In view of the absence of any  effectivetherapeutic   method.The cause for this is the existence  of lack of insight with regards to the disorders,mainly  due to thepresence of  research models which do not possessthe capacity of translation   into the human  in vivo system.Thus here we conducted a systematic review utilizing search engine pubmed,google scholar ;web of science &others utilizing  the MeSH terms  like ND; NDG ;NDD; Alzheimer’s disease; Parkinson’s  diseases; ASD ;TTH; viral infections; Induced  pluripotent Stem Cells(iPSCs); Crisper/Cas genetic  editing methods; 2D mono cell layer models   ;3D organoid models; embryonic Stem Cells(ESCs);vascularization;neuroectodermal constituents;gas exchange;microglia role;mesodermal parts;cellular  diversity; cellular interconnectivity;assembloids;cerebral organoids;evolutionary study;consciousness study; role in traumatic brain injury from  1980 till 2021 till date.We found a total of 1500 articles out of which we selected  102 articles for this review.No meta-analysis was done.

One-Time Cortical Lamina: A New Technique for Horizontal Ridge Augmentation. A Case Series
Authors: Foti Vincenzo , Savio Davide , Rossi Roberto
Published: December 2021

The aim of this case series is to introduce the One-Time Cortical Lamina Technique, a simplification of the F.I.R.S.T. (Fibrinogen-Induced Regeneration Sealing Technique) in cases where only horizontal augmentation is needed. The indications for this technique are ASA2 and ASA1 anxious patients. Pre-requisites for this surgical technique are: a good amount of keratinized tissue, sufficient alveolar ridge width for placement of implants, thickness of vestibular bone at CBCT planning less than 1 mm with risk of threads exposure. Five patients with horizontal deficiencies were selected to test the efficacy of this approach. The defects were augmented using a porcine cortical bone lamina in combination with collagenated porcine bone mixed with fibrin sealant. The cortical lamina was placed only buccal to the implants and stabilized with fibrin sealant, without pins or screws. Upon completion of the implant surgery, healing abutments were connected to the implants and the soft tissue sutured around them. The healing was uneventful in all cases. Six months after surgery impressions for final restorations were taken and screwed crowns delivered. The new volume had hard consistency and the follow-up CBCT measured an average of 4.17 mm of horizontal bone augmentation. One to three years of follow up demonstrated the maintenance of vestibular volume, hard consistency and clinical stability. Intraoral X-rays showed no marginal bone loss. An advantage of this technique could be the one stage surgery that creates a stable environment for regeneration from day one.

Published: December 2021

The aim of this study was to perform flow volume measurements with Doppler ultrasound using novel 3D printed flow phantom models of carotid artery in preterm infants with varying characteristics.

Clinical data from cerebral blood flow measurements using Doppler ultrasound of the right common carotid artery from premature newborn infants were used to produce a 3D printed Doppler flow phantom model with three different vessel diameters; 0.158 cm, 0.196 cm and 0.244 cm. Leading edge to centre was used to measure vessel diameter. Two observers performed flow volume measurements using continuous and pulsatile flow. Agreement between observers was examined using Bland-Altman plots.

24 measurements were performed. 18 (75%) measurements were performed using continuous flow. Pulsatile flow measurements were performed on lumen diameter of 0.244 cm only using physiological rates. Bland-Altman analysis for continuous flow measurements for observer 1 and 2 were -0.007 (95%LOA -4.3 to 4.3) ml/min and 3.2 (95%LOA -2.7 to 9.1) ml/min. Bias for pulsatile flow measurements for observer 1 and 2 were 1.5 (95%LOA -0.8 to 3.8) ml/min and 4.6 (0.7 to 8.5) ml/min respectively. Inter and intra-observer reliability was excellent for majority of measurements. The mean coefficient of variation for inter observer diameter measurements was 1.2% and intra observer measurements were between 1.5% to 3.9% for both observers.

Flow volume measurements performed using 3D printed materials resulted in realistic echogenicities mimicking biological tissues. Validity and reliability studies, within and between, observers showed acceptable results. Researchers and clinicians can use this model for further training and simulation.
Fryderyk Chopin w literaturze francuskiej: od figury romantycznej do ikony popkultury
Authors: Malinowski Wiesław Mateusz
Published: December 2021

The reception of Chopin and his music in French literature follows the rhythm of the changes in the European intellectual and aesthetic climates. George Sand recorded in her memoirs the image of a romantic genius par excellence, a dark, torn and complicated soul. The decadent and symbolist poetry, best exemplified by Maurice Rollinat, presents a portrait ofa blood-spitting neurasthenic, a soulmate of the poet. Marcel Proust paints the image of an elegant dandy and exquisite artist, while the first part of the twentieth century is dominated by the neoromantic vision of Chopin as a great Polish patriot; this theme is perfectly illustrated by the poems of Anna de Noailles and Edmond Rostand. André Gide presents a radicallynew view of Chopin’s music, seeing the Polish composer as a neoclassicist pianist. Contemporary literature and art go on to dress Chopin in jeans, eagerly turning him into a mass culture hero.
Eseistyczna chopinologia Piotra Wierzbickiego
Authors: Lisak-Gębala Dobrawa
Published: December 2021

Piotr Wierzbicki’s deep interest in Chopin’s music has been revealed in his volumes of essays published since 1993. What appears to make his music writings exceptional in comparison with other Polish essays dealing with Chopin’s life and work is the prevailing concentration on particular pieces or even single performances chosen by famous pianists. Wierzbicki develops his project of extradisciplinary essayistic Chopinology that blends together the musicological knowledge, critical involvement, philosophical reflection and highly individual psychosomatic experience. Having stated a fundamental difficulty of ‘translating’ sounds into words, he tries to elaborate a ‘musical’ style and form for his writing, e.g. he includes ekphrases full of metaphors and synesthetic figures. This wide array of music-centred properties encourages readers to treat these essays as a starting point for coming up with the question of whether it is possible to differentiate a type of ‘musical’ essay.
Galicyjska recepcja Chopina. W kręgu Marceliny Czartoryskiej i Stanisława Tarnowskiego
Authors: Stachura-Lupa Renata
Published: December 2021

The paper is dedicated to the role of princess Marcelina Czartoryska, a friend and student of Chopin, as an initiator of the research into his life and work, and to Stanisław Tarnowski’s essay about the composer. On 19 March 1871, in the hall of the Saski Hotel, a public lecture on Chopin was presented by Tarnowski, accompanied by Czartoryska’s magnificent performance. The income from this event was donated to Towarzystwo Wzajemnej Pomocy (mutual help association) for the support of the poor students of the Jagiellonian University. Czartoryska accompanied Tarnowski, illustrating his speech by playing the piano. Tarnowski published his work twice: in 1871 and 1892. He set the life and work of Chopin in the context of the period. Based on the sources, he reconstructed the spiritual biography of the artist, his creative personality both in terms of the psychological and the social aspects. He saw in Chopin “the fourth greatest poet of the divided Poland,” the fourth Bard.

Published: December 2021

The samples of plant material suspected to contain new psychoactive substances are very often the subject of chemical-toxicological analyses. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (MS), liquid chromatography-quadrupole time-of-flight-MS, and liquid chromatography-tandem MS were applied with the aim to identify synthetic cannabinoid, methyl 2-{[1-(cyclohexylmethyl)-1H-indol-3-yl] formamido}-3-methylbutanoate (MMB-CHMICA) without the analytical standard, which is very often the case when a new drug arrives. The structure of compound was also confirmed by one-dimensional and two-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and conformational analysis. After identification, methanolic extract of plant material containing MMB-CHMICA was successfully used for developing a multiple reaction monitoring method on liquid chromatography-tandem MS instrument. The optimization procedure is shown in detail. The complete fragmentation pattern and also the optimization of the extraction procedure of MMB-CHMICA from plant material were shown. The obtained data are useful for forensic, toxicological, and clinical purposes.

Authors: Singh Sarika , Arya Sandeep K. , Singla Shelly , Berwal Pulkit
Published: December 2021

In this paper, a dual-drive dual-parallel Mach–Zehnder Modulator based linearization scheme is implemented by utilizing only two phase shifters and comprehensively demonstrated for a photonic transmission link. Third order intermodulation distortion is suppressed by adjusting angles of electrical phase shifters i.e. π/2 and−π/2 and a non-linear distortion immune system can be proposed for microwave photonic link. A complete suppression in intermodulation terms and 20.8 dB enhancements are found in spurious free dynamic range (SFDR). SFDR reaches 135.6 dB Hz4/5 by suppressing major spurious contributors of third order intermodulation distortions in optical domain only which ensures the improvement in performance of link against non-linear terms.
Antimicrobial preservation efficacy of liquid glucose and liquid maltitol syrups with and without 0.1% sorbic acid
Authors: Carpentier Thomas , Maillard Eve , Royer Mathilde , Mustapha Lina , Marçon Frédéric
Published: December 2021

Objectives

Amongst paediatric pharmaceutical forms, syrups offer advantages such as ease of administration and good palatability. They also exhibited microbial self-preservation properties that may be useful to enhance shelf life of liquid formulation. The objective of our works is to test the self-preservation efficacy of maltitol and glucose syrup without or with sorbic acid as described in the European pharmacopoeia.

Methods

The European Pharmacopoeia test of antimicrobial preservation efficacy was performed on liquid glucose syrup and liquid maltitol syrup with and without 0.1% sorbic acid.

Results

Unpreserved glucose and maltitol syrups did not meet the European Pharmacopoeia acceptance criteria for antimicrobial preservative efficacy due to the regrowth of Aspergillus brasiliensis on day 28 whereas glucose and maltitol syrups with 0.1% sorbic acid pass the test.

Conclusions

The addition of a preservative (sorbic acid) in glucose and maltitol syrups allows the validation of the antimicrobial preservative efficacy test of the European Pharmacopoeia. Further tests are needed to see if preservative efficacy is maintained despite dilutions or in the presence of active pharmaceutical ingredients.
Dissipative electrostatic wave modulation in warm multi-ion dusty plasmas with superthermal electrons
Authors: Bhowmick Shubhra , Ghosh Nabakumar , Sahu Biswajit
Published: December 2021

A theoretical investigation has been carried out to explore the modulational instability (MI) of electrostatic waves in a warm multi-ion dusty plasma system containing positive ions, negative ions and positively or negatively charged dust in presence of superthermal electrons. With the help of the standard perturbation technique, it is found that the dynamics of the modulated wave is governed by a damped nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLSE). Regions of MI of the electrostatic wave are precisely determined and the analytical solutions predict the formation of dissipative bright and dark solitons as well as dissipative first- and second-order rogue wave solutions. It is found that the striking features (viz., instability criteria, amplitude and width of rogue waves, etc.) are significantly modified by the effects of relevant plasma parameters such as degree of the electron superthermality, dust density, etc. The time dependent numerical simulations of the damped NLSE reveal that modulated electrostatic waves exhibit breather like structures. Moreover, phase plane analysis has been performed to study the dynamical behaviors of NLSE by using the theory of dynamical system. It is remarked that outcome of present study may provide physical insight into understanding the generation of several types of nonlinear structures in dusty plasma environments, where superthermal electrons, positive and negative ions are accountable (e.g. Saturn’s magnetosphere, auroral zone, etc.).

In Indonesia, flooding is one of the natural hazards that often occurs during the rainy season. Surface runoff coefficient values are an essential indicator of the supply of regional water resources. The smaller the surface runoff value, the greater the water storage in the ground, and the smaller surface was running water. This study analyses the spatial and temporal distribution of the estimated surface runoff caused by land use/land cover changes in the upstream Citarum watershed. The study area is located in the upstream Citarum watershed, West Java, Indonesia. The site has a long history of flooding and various complex environmental problems. The geographic Information System method was used as a tool in analyzing the spatially and temporally. The research result shows that there has been a change in land cover in several periods of the year in the Citarum upstream watershed. The occurrence of the LULC phenomenon positively affects the surface runoff coefficient. The increasing area of Built land and plantation in the Citarum upstream watershed will further increase the surface runoff coefficient and, in the end, will potentially increase the surface runoff and contribute to flooding in the Bandung basin. This study results can be used to provide input in determining the direction and policies for watershed management, taking into account the varying characteristics of each subwatershed.

Published: December 2021

Since Indonesia have signed and ratified Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) in 2009, the country must make efforts to manage POPs appropriately. A number of pollution evident of POPs has occurred in Indonesia, either air, soil or water. Agricultural soils are not excluded from POPs pollution as the result of halogenated pesticide uses or other unidentified sources. Contamination of POPs to humans have been detected, as well as indicated potential exposure of POPs to humans. Based-catalyzed decomposition is a method that can be used to decompose or decontaminate POPs. Limestone can be processed to produce calcium-based catalyst that can apply for POPs decomposition. Indonesia is a country rich in limestone natural resources to produce calcium. However, calcium is inferior to sodium or potassium in reactivity for the dehalogenation of POPs. Thus, more evaluation is needed in order for synthesizing proper and economical calcium-based catalyst to alleviate POPs pollution in Indonesia.

Gambang Semarang is one of Indonesia’s traditional music which has an instrument made of wood, namely gambang (xylophone). Thai Pi Phat Ensemble has a Gambang-like instrument called Ranat Ek. In the presentation, each of these instruments certainly has a playing pattern that is characteristic of the music itself. This study aims to identify and describe the pattern of traditional music playing in the Gambang Semarang, especially the Gambang instrument and the traditional music of Thai Pi Phat Ensemble, especially the Ranat Ek instrument. The research method used is qualitative with a musicological approach. Data collection techniques were carried out by using observation, interviews, document studies, and Focused Group Discussions. Data analysis was carried out with the stages of data reduction, data classification, and concluding. The results show that the playing pattern of the Gambang instrument in the Gambang Semarang music contains two types of playing patterns, namely sekaran Nglagu and cengkok ajeg. While the playing pattern of the Ranat Ek instrument in the Pi Phat Ensemble consists of kan ti kro, kan ti kep, kan ti siao mue, kan ti sado, and kan ti sabat. The two instruments have similarities and differences in playing patterns which are most likely due to differences in functions and roles in group play.

Teknolojik gelişmeler, yaşam kalitesinin artması ve sağlık hizmetlerine erişimdeki kolaylıklar gibi pek çok faktör insan ömrünün uzamasını sağlamıştır. Yaşlı popülasyonda görülen artış bu grup için hayatın her alanında yapılacak düzenlemeleri kaçınılmaz hale getirmektedir. Ağız ve diş hastalıkları tüm yaş gruplarını etkilediği gibi yaşlı popülasyonu da ilgilendiren bir problem olarak karşımıza çıkmakta, gelişmekte olan geriatrik diş hekimliği ise bu popülasyon için ağız diş sağlığı ve bakımını teşvik etmeye odaklanmakla birlikte bedensel, zihinsel, ruhsal ve sosyal refah için gerekli olan ağız sağlığının korunmasına dikkat etmektedir. Yaşa rağmen ağızda kalmayı başarabilmiş diş dokularının tedavisi restoratif diş hekimliği açısından önem taşımaktadır. Diş çürükleri, fonksiyona veya alışkanlıklara bağlı ortaya çıkan diş aşınmaları ve renkleşmeler bu alanda karşımıza çıkan yaygın sorunlardır. Geriatrik hastalar için hekim koltuğunda hastayı yormayacak, var olan diş dokusunu koruyan, kanıta dayalı ve gerekiyorsa tıp doktorlarıyla iş birliği içeren tedavi seçenekleri restoratif diş tedavisi yaklaşımlarında önem arz etmektedir. Yaşlı bireylerde zamanla ortaya çıkan fizyolojik ve patolojik değişimlerin kompleks tedavilere ihtiyaç duyulacağı algısı oluşturması, diş hekimlerinin ve diş hekimliği öğrencilerinin bu gruba karşı çekingen davranmasına neden olmaktadır. Yaşlı popülasyonun genişlemesiyle restoratif diş hekimliği alanında ortaya çıkan temel tedavi prosedürü eksikliği ve bu alanda yetkin hisseden hekimlerin azlığı, özellikle eğitim aşamalarında bu meselenin daha dikkatli ele alınması gerektiğini ortaya koymaktadır. Türkiye’de artan yaşlı nüfusa daha iyi tedaviler sunabilmek adına fakültelerin müfredatlarında geriatrik hastalara tedavi yaklaşımları konusuna daha fazla yer verilmesi kaçınılmazdır.

Background: To create awareness about oral cancers, various events are being organized such as “oral cancer awareness month”. Google Trends is an application which is used to determine the relative frequency of a search term and is used for different purposes in the field of medicine, recently. The aim of this study is to determine the research popularity of terms about oral cancers using Google Trends and to investigate the relationship between various awareness events.

Material and Methods: Search Volume Indexes for terms “oral cancer” and “mouth cancer” for the USA, United Kingdom, and worldwide were obtained from Google Trends. Also, for Turkey “ağız kanseri”, “dil kanseri”, “dudak kanseri” and “damak kanseri” terms were used. Average search volume indexes of all terms for April, September and November,which are declared as oral cancer awareness months by different societies, were calculated.

Results: For terms, “mouth cancer” and “oral cancer”, November averages in the United Kingdom and April averages in the USA were higher compared to all months (p

Literatura, literatura comparada, traducción, analogía
Authors: Albaladejo Tomás
Published: December 2021

Este artículo se ocupa de la relación entre literatura y traducción. Se explica la traducción literaria teniendo en cuenta sus semejanzas y diferencias con la traducción no literaria y se conecta aquella con las clases de textos, de modo que el texto de llegada reproduzca la literariedad del texto de partida. El papel del traductor o la traductora en la interpretación de una obra literaria y en el logro de una traducción de esta es enfocado como uno de los principales componentes de su función. Se adopta el punto de vista que proporciona la analogía para estudiar la transformación del texto de partida en el texto de llegada y la representación del primero por este último. Se considera la traducción literaria como una actividad en la literatura comparada debido a la actitud y la actividad comparativa que el traductor debe tener comparando el texto de llegada con el texto de partida o la traducción lograda con otras obras y otras traducciones. A causa del papel intercultural de la traducción literaria, su función en la construcción de espacios transnacionales, así como en la configuración del canon o los cánones, es altamente valorada.

La dimensión generacional en la constitución del carácter individual: ¿Es posible hablar de un habitus de generación?
Authors: Costa Delgado Jorge
Published: December 2021

Este artículo aborda un aspecto específico en la configuración del habitus,examinando si es posible identificar unadimensión generacional en él. Para ello,en primer lugar, comentaré los principales problemas epistemológicos queplantea el uso del concepto de generación. Posteriormente, los compararé condificultades similares en la utilización delconcepto de clase social, cuya asociacióncon el habitus está plenamente reconocida. Al final del artículo expondré, conla ayuda de Mauger y Mannheim, unapropuesta de integración teórica para eluso del concepto de generación, con laque defiendo que sí es posible hablar deun habitus de generación.
La individualidad y sus paradojas. Un análisis epistemológico-político y algunos ejemplos
Authors: Gamero Cabrera Isabel G.
Published: December 2021

En este artículo me propongo aclararalgunas dificultades epistemológicas y políticas del concepto de individuo. Seguiréa Joan W. Scott para argumentar que eneste concepto presenta una paradoja, porser una noción abstracta y concreta a lavez. Conectaré esa paradoja con la pregunta sobre quién es (o puede ser) considerado como individuo y sujeto de derecho y,para ello, voy a estudiar algunos usos delconcepto de “individuo” en distintos escenarios y momentos de la historia europea,desde la Revolución Francesa y sus primeros debates constitucionales en torno aquién era ciudadano, hasta las consecuencias que tuvo el proceso de descolonizaciónen Europa en el siglo XX y los debates sobre la integración de migrantes en ReinoUnido. Acabaré con unas referencias sobreel ascenso de la ultraderecha y la necesidadde reivindicar un concepto de individuo,pese a todas sus dificultades y paradojas.
Lithuanian Literature in Search of Historical Truth: Three Decades of Independence
Authors: Peluritytė-Tikuišienė Audinga
Published: December 2021

The article focuses on the beginning of the Singing Revolution in Lithuanian culture and tries to identify the most significant dominant features in order to understand the entirety of the new changes in literature. In the face of political upheaval, such a dominant feature was the question of truth; however, the well-established poetry tradition – romantic, neo-romantic, modern neo-romantic, which coexisted with social realism in Soviet times, and experimental – did not raise such questions of truth but only reflected the nation’s collective expectations. The evolution of Lithuanian literature, which was highly fragmented during all the decades of the Soviet occupation, united the country through the expatriate poet Bernardas Brazdžionis while he was visiting Lithuania in the summer of 1989. Poetic texts predominated during the first demonstrations of Sąjūdis (the Reform Movement), but while trying to understand their position in the general Lithuanian culture and literature discourse, one needs to acknowledge the leading nature of poetry throughout the Soviet times: having its niche in the cultural system, poetry posed a large number of vexed questions, sought philosophical profundity, and was able to constantly address the deepest metaphysical questions even in strict censorship conditions. Lithuanian prose, which evaded the requirement by the doctrine of social realism to portray the world and characters engaged in class struggles, also found support in the poetry system and created a non-linear but coherent narrative where metaphors prevail. Lithuanian prose poetry became a sign of esthetic quality in independent Lithuania too, where the question of truth, which was important for achieving independence, found a way similar to that of poetry – through memoirs and essays to esthetics and little prose. At the beginning of independence, poetry, which had fed Lithuanian prose with its ideas, themes, conception of the world and esthetic solutions, also merged with memoirs and essays, thus being part of the discourse of telling the truth.
Global dynamics of solutions for a sixth-order parabolic equation describing continuum evolution of film-free surface
Authors: Duan Ning , Zhao Xiaopeng
Published: December 2021

This paper is concerned with a sixth-order diffusion equation, which describes continuum evolution of film-free surface. By using the regularity estimates for the semigroups, iteration technique and the classical existence theorem of global attractors we verified the existence of global attractor for this surface diffusion equation in the spaces H3(Ω) and fractional-order spaces Hk(Ω), where 0 ≤ k < ∞.
Partial Enteral Discharge Programs for High-risk Infants
Authors: Ermarth Anna , Ling Con Yee
Published: December 2021

Premature infants or infants born with complex medical problems are at increased risk of having delayed or dysfunctional oral feeding ability. These patients typically require assisted enteral nutrition in the form of a nasogastric tube (NGT) during their NICU hospitalization. Historically, once these infants overcame their initial reason(s) for admission, they were discharged from the NICU only after achieving full oral feedings or placement of a gastrostomy tube. Recent programs show that these infants can be successfully discharged from the hospital with partial NGT or gastrostomy tube feedings with the assistance of targeted predischarge education and outpatient support. Caregiver opinions have also been reported as satisfactory or higher with this approach. In this review, we discuss the current literature and outcomes in infants who are discharged with an NGT and provide evidence for safe practices, both during the NICU hospitalization, as well as in the outpatient setting.
Developing a Quality Improvement Feeding Program for NICU Patients
Authors: Osborn Erika K. , Jadcherla Sudarshan R.
Published: December 2021

Practices in NICUs vary widely, particularly when clinical decisions involve complex tasks and multiple disciplines, which occurs with feeding preterm infants. Neonatal feeding difficulties in preterm infants often lead to prolonged tube feeding and therefore lengthened hospital stays. Education and compliance with evidence-based protocols and guidelines are needed on the initiation of feedings and feeding advancement to transform enteral and oral feeding practices and thus reduce practice variation and improve clinical outcomes.

CONTEXT

Multiple scores exist to characterize organ dysfunction in children.

OBJECTIVE

To review the literature on multiple organ dysfunction (MOD) scoring systems to estimate severity of illness and to characterize the performance characteristics of currently used scoring tools and clinical assessments for organ dysfunction in critically ill children.

DATA SOURCES

Electronic searches of PubMed and Embase were conducted from January 1992 to January 2020.

STUDY SELECTION

Studies were included if they evaluated critically ill children with MOD, evaluated the performance characteristics of scoring tools for MOD, and assessed outcomes related to mortality, functional status, organ-specific outcomes, or other patient-centered outcomes.

DATA EXTRACTION

Data were abstracted into a standard data extraction form by a task force member.

RESULTS

Of 1152 unique abstracts screened, 156 full text studies were assessed including a total of 54 eligible studies. The most commonly reported scores were the Pediatric Logistic Organ Dysfunction Score (PELOD), pediatric Sequential Organ Failure Assessment score (pSOFA), Pediatric Index of Mortality (PIM), PRISM, and counts of organ dysfunction using the International Pediatric Sepsis Definition Consensus Conference. Cut-offs for specific organ dysfunction criteria, diagnostic elements included, and use of counts versus weighting varied substantially.

LIMITATIONS

While scores demonstrated an increase in mortality associated with the severity and number of organ dysfunctions, the performance ranged widely.

CONCLUSIONS

The multitude of scores on organ dysfunction to assess severity of illness indicates a need for unified and data-driven organ dysfunction criteria, derived and validated in large, heterogenous international databases of critically ill children.
