Effect of C‐reactive protein on chest X‐ray interpretation: it’s more complicated.
Authors: Weinberger Miles
Published: February 2021

A chest x-ray cannot diagnose pneumonia, it only shows shadows.
Pneumonia then becomes a clinical diagnosis for which antibiotics should
be considered primarily after careful clinical assessment of how sick
the child appears, the presence of fever, an elevated CRP, an elevated
procalcitonin, and a radiologic image of a distinct lobar or lobular
infiltrate.

Published: February 2021

Objectives: In this study, we aimed to compare the outcomes and
complication rates of percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) and retrograde
intrarenal surgery (RIRS) in geriatric patients according to Charlson
comorbidity index (CCI). Materials and Methods: Between April 2011 and
January 2020, patients who underwent PCNL and RIRS for renal stone
between 10 and 30 mm in geriatric patients were retrospectively
evaluated. All patients’ Pre-surgery comorbidities were recorded and the
CCI was calculated. The two groups’ perioperative values, stone free
rates and complication rates were compared. Postoperative complications
were noted according to the Clavien scoring system. Results: There were
89 and 72 patients in the PCNL and RIRS group, respectively. The median
age was 67 years in both of groups (p=0.192). The stone size were 22.2 ±
3.5 and 19.9 ± 7.1 in the PCNL and RIRS group, respec¬tively ( p =
0.082). CCI scores were similar in both groups (p=0.098). Stone free and
complication rates were significantly higher in PCNL group (p = 0.021, p
= 0.034). Also we found that overall complication and major complication
rates were statistically significant difference with especially Charlson
comorbidity index score ≥2 in PCNL group (p = 0,016, p = 0,029).
According to correlation analysis of intraoperative and postoperative
results with Charlson comorbidity index, there was positive correlation
between total complication with PCNL and RIRS group, respectively (p
< 0,001, p = 0.024). In addition, there was positive
correlation between lenght of hospital stay with PCNL and RIRS group,
respectively (p = 0,007, p < 0,001). Also there was positive
correlation between blood transfusion requirement with PCNL group
(p=0,009). Conclusion: Despite there was higher stone clearence in PCNL,
the complication rates were higher compared to RIRS. So RIRS might be a
safe alternative treatment method to PCNL in older patients with a high
CCI score.

Published: February 2021

In recent decades, probiotic products have been increasingly used to prevent certain gastro-intestinal and urogenital disorders, to improve the general condition of the body and as a supplement to pharmacological therapy. They are most often registered as dietary supplements, and less often as drugs in the form of capsules, powders, and solutions. Optimization of technological processes of production and packaging of these products aims to maintain probiotic characteristics while adhering to all criteria during production that ensure quality, bioavailability and optimal therapeutic effects. In this paper, the importance of choosing primary and secondary packaging materials was explored with the aim of preserving the viability of probiotic cells in capsules for two years, i.e. during the shelf life. By comparing the applications of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and PVC/polyvinylidene chloride/polyethylene blister foils, better protection of probiotic cells was observed by applying the multilayer foil. In addition, in this research, further improvements of probiotic cell protection were achieved by applying a secondary packing-flow pack bag with inert gas for storing multilayered blisters.

Authors: Prinajati Purnomosutji Dyah
Published: February 2021

Greenhouse Gases (GHG) consists of various types of gases that are produced either naturally from the environment or from the activities of living things, some examples of the dominant GHGs are water vapor, carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrogen oxides (NOx) and Sulfur Oxide (SOx), the largest contributors to GHG emissions are in the Energy sector, amounting to 175.62 million tons of CO2. Microalgae are the most primitive plants, can grow in low water quality with the availability of adequate nutrients and sunlight. The amount of CO2 that can be absorbed by 1 kg of dry spirulina is 1.83 kg of CO2. In addition, Spirulina Platensis can tolerate gas content of SOx, NOx and CO2 whose concentrations are <12%. This study aims to determine the process of utilizing CO2 gas emissions from power plant for the cultivation of Spirulina Platensis microalgae at PT. Indonesia Power UPJP Perak Grati. Based on the research results, the average emission load value generated from power plant, especially HRSG 1.1, is 10,403.31 tons CO2/ month on average. The temperature factor has a significant correlation with the growth of microalgae cells with an inverse correlation. Based on the tests carried out to determine the relationship between changes in the flow rate of CO2 in microalgae cultivation ponds to the growth of microalgae cells, it was found that the addition of CO2 in the cultivation pond with a flow rate of 1 L/ minute had a greater effect than other treatments. The amount of CO2 absorption by microalgae installations with a flow rate variation of 1 liter CO2/ minute is able to absorb 0.2766 tons of CO2/ month, or is only capable of <1% of the average emission load of HRSG 1.1 per month.
Proposal for a protocol for sex hormones level sampling in patients with varices to evidence pelvic reflux
Authors: Ricci Stefano , Oswald Martin Alexander
Published: February 2021

Sex hormonal direct action on venous system has been advocated for explaining further dilatation of already present limb varices, or stimulate recurrences after varicose veins removal, or even dilate normal veins inducing valves incompetence, typically in women, but also in men. Hormones can directly reach leg vein trough Pelvic Veins Incontinence. This event is frequent and quite well evidenced by Ultrasound or Radiology. Blood sampling of hormones from antecubital vein (as a control) compared with blood from varicose veins could more easily (and less costly) make possible to evidence this hormonal discrepancy whose ratio could become the index of this hormonal influence and, indirectly, pelvic reflux. Many clinical situations could benefit from this study, which may provide reasons for taking a less aggressive approach, for directing attention to leaking points and the identification of cases at risk of recurrences, suggesting a regular use of compression stockings.

Published: February 2021

The use of renewable energy sources such as solar and wind energy can be extended to include residential and transportation applications due to environmental benefits. The main objective of this paper the solar energy system will be equipped with two type of converters DC/DC and DC/AC. The DC/DC boost converter is generally driven by the MPPT technique. We need to design a single controller for both the converters that would meet the power requirements and enhance its efficiency. To enhance the active power output by utilizing the designed controller for both the converters. The power enhancement would be done by utilizing a hybrid integrated constrained particle swarm optimization technique that is also modified to meet the MPPT requirements of the solar energy system. the result of The single controller has resulted in the following key improvements. The algorithm was first incorporated with the MPPT algorithm for the boost converter which has improved the DC voltage profile from 500 V to 595 V. The active power output from the system has enhanced to 113KW from 100Kw which is also stable as compared to the system having dual controllers for the converters. The PSO algorithm is so constrained in a manner such that the output voltage and current distortion has also reduced. The voltage output distortion level from the hybrid constrained PSO controllers was found to be 0.20% which is less than 0.26% of the system having dual controllers Also the THD level in the current output from the hybrid PSO integrated algorithm was reduced to 0.16% from 3.36% in the solar PV system modeled with dual controllers.

Renewable energy sources around the world, especially solar energy, are increasing dramatically in the face of energy shortages and environmental concerns. The cascade multistage converter structure can be fascinating for high performance solar photovoltaic (PV) systems due to its interchangeability, extension and MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking) exemption. However, power divergence in cascaded unified PV converter modules can result in unstable system voltage and operation. This article introduced multilevel inverter and H-bridge multilevel cascaded inverter, as well as the power requirements of PV inverters. This paper examines the effects of reactive power compensation and optimization on the safety and performance characteristics of the system and proposes a synchronized distribution of active and reactive power in the network to reduce this instability.

Transient Stability Improvement Analysis of DFIG Based Variable Speed Wind Generator Using IGBT- Bridge-Type Fault Current Limiter
Authors: Brahmwanshi Roshan , Borkar Eknath
Published: February 2021

Due to its many advantages such as the improved power quality, high energy efficiency and controllability, etc. the variable speed wind turbine using a doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) is becoming a popular concept and thus the modeling of the DFIG based wind turbine and improvement in the transient fault conditions is an important consideration. In this paper, Transient stability improvement has been done by using Superfluous Fault Current Limiter [SFCL]. A new design of SFCL IGBT- Bridge-type SFCL shunted with a variable resistor Rsh has been proposed. Rsh is modeled to decrease the terminal voltage deviation to minimum level by reducing the amount of current at the bus terminal. Comparison of Voltage deviation and current deviation with the resistive type SFCL and IGBT- bridge-type SFCL show considerable decrease in both quantities by using IGBT- bridge-type SFCL. The values of voltage deviation at the bus terminal is 8.223 e-8 % for proposed SFCL which is less than the resistive type SFCL that is, 14.4 e-8 %.  The huge voltage sag has been considerably reduced by reduction of high level of current to 0.0004401 % in IGBT-bridge-Type SFCL from 0.0004624% in resistive type SFCL. Thus proposed SFCL has caused significant improvement in transient stability keeping the deviation in active and reactive power during faults to minimum level.

Climate change-conscious systematic conservation planning: A case study in the Peace River Break, British Columbia
Authors:   , Mann Jerrica
Published: February 2021

The synergistic effects of anthropogenic disturbance, habitat fragmentation and climate change pose a significant threat to biodiversity that is challenging to predict. Anthropogenically driven climate change has already begun to impact critical climate regions and is now recognized to be one of the most serious threats to biodiversity and the conservation thereof. Despite this, few conservation planning initiatives have sought to sharpen the focus of the systematic conservation planning (SCP) framework to explicitly include climate change. To promote the evolution of the SCP framework into a climate change-conscious (CCC) approach to conservation planning, I developed and applied a methodology for incorporating climatechange resiliency into the SCP framework. This CCC-SCP methodology can be used to guide future conservation planning initiatives, helping conservation planners recognize and respond to opportunities for action, conserve our planet’s biodiversity and mitigate the effects of climate change.

SACRED PLACES IN BUDDHISM OR THE PLACE OF THE SACRED IN BUDDHISM
Authors: Nikolova Antoaneta
Published: February 2021

Abstract: The paper aims to examine the meaning of sacredness in such a religion as Buddhism where there is no idea of God or any supernatural being. Instead, there are elaborated inner practices for achieving enlightenment. The paper consists of two parts. The first one analyses the place of the sacred in Buddhism considering the two important concepts of samsara and nirvana. The second part discusses sacred places in Buddhism comparing two different space structures: stupa as representative for a vertical structure and mandala for a horizontal one. On the base of juxtaposing these seemingly opposite concepts and structures the paper reveals that in terms of Buddhism the real sacredness is non-sacredness: a term that transcends the opposition sacred-profane and expresses the specific Buddhist vision of non-duality.Key words: Buddhism; sacred-profane; non-duality
LEVINAS AND THE SYMBOL OF THE TEMPLE OF JERUSALEM FOR THE WHOLE OF HUMANITY
Authors: Padial Juan J.
Published: February 2021

Abstract: Levinas does not speak quite often about the Temple, but in his Talmudic commentaries, he says quite impressive things about the Temple and its image. Commenting the Tractate Yoma 10a of Talmud, he says that «The Temple of Jerusalem in Jewish thought is a symbol, which signifies for the whole of humanity». This paper focuses on clarify this sentence and the universality of one Temple, which «is an exact replica of the heavenly Temple, the order of absolute holiness» according with his comment to Rabbi Hayyim Volozhiner. I research the symbolic value of the Temple in Jerusalem built as in ruins and try to connect this value with the rest of Levinas’ philosophy, especially with his theory of sacrifice as substitution.Palabras clave: Temple of Jerusalem; Politics-Messianism; History; Responsibility; Guilt; Holiness; Sacrifice.
ON THE ORIGINS OF SACRED ARCHITECTURE: INTERPRETATIONS OF THE EGYPTIAN TEMPLE
Authors: Paga Maurizio
Published: February 2021

Abstract: According to the interpretation of Hegel, Egyptian religious buildings, and among them especially the temples, represent the beginning of the history of architecture, and so the beginning of the entire history of art.The Egyptian religious architecture has a symbolic character, because its configuration tries to represent the spiritual content without being fully adequate to it. So the Egyptian temple alludes to the divine through its entire structure, but does not have a proper internal space, dedicated to the worship of the image of God.On this point, contemporary Egyptology corrected Hegel’s view, because broadly speaking the Egyptian temple had an interior where the image of the deity was safeguarded. However, Hegel’s thesis paradoxically remains suitable for a particular case of the Egyptian experience that he could not know at that time: in the monotheistic religion of Amarna, the temple of the sun-god Aton has no images and does not have a center, because the Divine is present everywhere, like the sunlight that illuminates equally all over the temple.Key words: Egypt; architecture; temple; symbol; image.
THE IMAGO TEMPLI OF THE INVISIBLE CHURCH: IDEALISM AND ABSTRACT ART.
Authors: Papoulias Haris Ch.
Published: February 2021

Two events, apparently distant one from the other and without any direct link between them, but nevertheless strictly connected by a common spiritual legacy, constitute the subject of this paper. The first one, took place in 1971, when a very special «ecumenical chapel» opened its doors to the public. It is known under the name of «Rothko Chapel», due to the general project, undertaken by the painter Mark Rothko. Since that time, it has become one of the most precious artworks that represent the contemporary religious aesthetics. The black Rothko’s paintings, the Greek-cross building designed by the architect Philip Johnson, the Broken Obelisk of the artist Barnett Newman standing right out of the Chapel and the music composed for this ambient by the composer Morton Feldman, have replaced what traditionally has been called an «imago templi»; but contrary to all Christian tradition they represent (literally) no-thing. The second event, took place in 1795, when two young friends, Hegel and Schelling, were making a kind of oath under the sign of an Invisible Church, actualizing an ambiguous concept that, even if rooted in the Holy Scriptures, it had been condemned for its consequences as heretical. The relationship between these two events is given by contemporary art historians which have established that modern abstract painting, from a formal point of view, is rooted in the Romantic tradition. With this paper I would like to contribute to the establishment of this connection, not only by formal means, but by showing a common spiritual attitude towards images. Christianity, essentially figurative in its religious aesthetics, has always had to deal with the Jewish prohibition of image-making. This difficulty has been inherited to contemporary debates in which artist with classical readings and education, often of Jewish origins but active in Christian societies, try to create a new kind of art, above all traditions and free of dogmas. According to my suggestion, Rothko Chapel should be considered as the realization of a fragile balance in which both «aniconism» and «need of images» have simultaneously sublated their one-sidedness, producing a higher spiritual stage. Thus, such a chapel would not be a simple space where all religions could only meet and undertake a dialog, but should be considered as something more surprising: a unique realization of what logically appears as a pure contradiction: the realization of an Imago Templi for an Invisible Church.

LA FILOSOFÍA DE SOLOVYOV COMO RACIONALIZACIÓN DE LOS SENTIMIENTOS Y EL COMPORTAMIENTO RELGIOSOS
Authors: Lozev Kamen Dimitrov
Published: February 2021

Resumen: El artículo está dedicado a Vladimir Solovyov (Vladimir Solovyov) (1853-1900), el filósofo religioso más grande de Rusia del siglo 19. La tesis fundamental es que las ideas principales de Solovyov se pueden interpretar como una reflexión filosófica sobre los sentimientos religiosos fundamentales y los aspectos de comportamiento religioso. En este sentido se analizan en detalle las enseñanzas de Solovyov sobre la unidad positiva (all-encompassing unity, всеединство), la catolicidad (sobornost, соборность) y la divinohumanidad (Godmanhood, Divine Humanity, богочеловечество). Se presta atención especial al proyecto teocrático de Solovyov de establecer una Iglesia Cristiana Universal (Christian Universal Church, Ecumenical Church) y restaurar la unidad (re-unification) de la cristiandad.Palabras clave:unidad, divinohumanidad; catolicidad; ortodoxia rusa (Russian Orthodoxy); Iglesia Universal (Ecumenical Church; Universal Church).
The Feast: sense and fullness in the experience of finite
Authors: Pagano Maurizio
Published: February 2021

The feast introduces an interruption in the flow of everyday life. Within the limits marked by such an interruption, a form of experience different from the ordinary takes place. The time of feast evokes and makes present the sacred time in which events that founded human society took place. In festivals, on one hand, one can grasp and represent the meaning that grounds human experience; on the other hand, a form of full life takes place. In the modern era, festivals lose their connection with the religious dimension, and such features fade away. Yet they do not disappear entirely. They are grasped in a fragmentary way, and this is enough to turn them into marks of resistance against the reduction of human experience to a purely utilitarian dimension.
KARL BARTH LA RESTAURACIÓN DE LA ORTODOXIA PROTESTANTE
Authors: Hernández Pacheco Javier
Published: February 2021

Karl Barth representa la renovación de la tradición de la teología evangélica atendiendo a sus raíces luteranas y calvinistas y en contra de lo que él entiende como la degradación de esa tradición en la llamada Teología Liberal que prevalecía a finales del siglo XIX. Su Carta a los Romanos supuso un punto de inflexión al cambiar la atención de una teología cultural a otra existencial bajo la influencia de Kierkegaard. La crítica de la doctrina católica de la analogía como base para una teología racional o natural representa también una reivindicación del sobrenaturalismo religioso como punto de partida para la comprensión de la existencia humana, que resulta ininteligible sin los conceptos de pecado, conversión y salvación. Por otra parte, la misma esencia de Dios no se puede alcanzar sino a través del choque que representa su irrupción en la historia como revelación y perdón.

Del círculo mágico a Las edades del mundo. Algunos implícitos filosóficos
Authors: Falgueras Ignacio
Published: February 2021

Una vez conocidas las nociones de círculo mágico y de eones eternos, que fueron estudiadas en un trabajo precedente, y a fin de comprender mejor la propuesta filosófica de Schelling, se investigan aquí algunos problemas filosóficos implícitos en dichas nociones. Y se concluye que el propósito de enmendar, mediante cierto realismo, el logicismo de hegel ‒y el suyo propio precedente‒ no finaliza satisfactoriamente, por conservar los planteamientos idealistas básicos de su juventud.
Libertad es fatalismo. Apuntes acerca de dos pistoletazos
Authors: Cardani Michele
Published: February 2021

Entre las críticas que Johann F. Herbart dirige a Johann G. Fichte, una de las más interesantes es la observación que la libertad trascendental no es nada más que fatalismo. En este artículo se relacionará este argumento con el concepto nuevo del procedimiento científico elaborado por Georg W. F. Hegel y se concluirá planteando la cuestión de si también el propio método hegeliano no implica otra forma de fatalismo.
Hegel y la dialéctica de las ideologías (placer, corazón y virtud)
Authors: López-Espinosa Luis Felip
Published: February 2021

¿Podemos leer la Fenomenología del Espíritu como una teoría de la ideología? Partiendo de lo que Kojève llama la «dialéctica de las ideologías» (placer, corazón, virtud), encontramos no sólo una investigación acerca del papel del deseo en la formación de dichas figuras de la conciencia, sino también una reflexión acerca del modo como concebimos la política en la época moderna. El pensamiento político de Hegel es, aquí, una alternativa a las narrativas moralizantes de la historia. En lugar de ello, debemos sostener la primacía del trabajo y de la praxis en todo proyecto de transformación social.
Decidirse por la libertad: decidirse por la verdad. La reflexión que se hace sistema
Authors: Mattana Ereño Leonardo
Published: February 2021

Verdad y libertad representan para Hegel dos grandes desafíos a la hora de edificar el sistema y atraviesan dos de las grandes obras hegelianas, a saber, la Fenomenología del espíritu y la Ciencia de la Lógica. En este cruce temático surgen importantes cuestiones como el pasaje de una ontología de la sustancia a una del sujeto, el sentido de la segunda naturaleza o el problema kantiano de una causalidad libre. Este trabajo tiene por objetivo conectar estas cuestiones, considerándolas como el centro de una reformulación, por parte de Hegel, del concepto y la tarea de la filosofía.

OBJECTIVE

To assess the pharmacokinetics and opioid effects of methadone after administration of multiple doses by means of 2 dosing regimens of methadone-fluconazole-naltrexone.

ANIMALS

12 healthy Beagles.

PROCEDURES

Dogs were randomly allocated (6 dogs/group) to receive 1 of 2 oral dosing regimens of methadone-fluconazole-naltrexone. Treatment 1 doses were administered at 0 (methadone-to-fluconazole-to-naltrexone ratio of 1:5:0.25 mg/kg), 14 (1:5:0.25), 24 (0.5:2.5:0.125), and 38 (0.5:2.5:0.125) hours. Treatment 2 doses were administered at 0 (1:5:0.25), 4 (0.5:2.5:0.125), 10 (0.5:2.5:0.125), and 24 (0.5:2.5:0.125) hours. Blood samples, rectal temperatures, and von Frey antinociceptive measurements were obtained at designated times.

RESULTS

Compared with baseline, temperatures significantly decreased for treatment 1 group dogs at 2 to ≥ 4 hours and from 16 to ≥ 50 hours (12 hours after last dose) and for treatment 2 group dogs at 2 to ≥ 36 hours (12 hours after last dose), when trough methadone concentrations were ≥ 21.3 ng/mL. Antinociception occurred after the first dose but was not maintained throughout the study. Lesions were noted in some dogs at the application site of the von Frey device. Naltrexone and β-naltrexol were sporadically detected in plasma, and naltrexone glucuronide was consistently detected.

CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE

Opioid effects were noted after oral administration of the first dose, and data suggested that administering a second dose 6 hours later and every 12 hours thereafter was necessary to maintain opioid effects. Antinociception may have been lost because dogs became averse or hyperalgesic to the von Frey device, such that the antinociception model used here may not be robust for repeated measurements in dogs.
