The lions of Artemis. A die link study of the heavy drachms of Massalia
Authors: Corsi Jacopo , Aulisio Giorgio
Published: May 2022

The Phocaean colony of Massalia introduced its own coinage around 525 BC. The “heavy” drachm, a silver coin weighing around 3.7 g and depicting the head of Artemis and a lion walking right, was probably struck during the 3rd century. In this work, all the main features of this particular denomination such as chronology, finds and mint organization are analysed and discussed. A die link study, based on a corpus of 90 surviving specimens, enables to estimate the original number of dies and therefore to make some hypotheses about the output of the Massalian mint. The reasons for the introduction of this denomination are compared with other cases and discussed.
A New Arrangement for RRC 53/2
Authors: Debernardi Pierluigi , Brinkman Steve
Published: May 2022

Fondé sur l’étude d’un large échantillon de 1 150 monnaies, cet article propose un nouveau classement, selon plusieurs groupes distincts, des deniers anonymes regroupés par Crawford sous la référence 53/ 2. Pour chacun de ces groupes, un lieu, une date et/ ou des circonstances d’émission seront proposés en fonction de leurs différences stylistiques, des liaisons de coins, de leur métrologie ainsi que de la documentation archéologique et des trouvailles monétaires. Une attention particulière sera portée aux relations entre certaines de ces monnaies anonymes et plusieurs émissions avec symboles. Replacées dans le contexte des événements et relations numismatiques intervenus au cours de la deuxième guerre punique, ces larges émissions de deniers, dont plusieurs importantes nouvelles variétés ont pu être identifiées, ont été produites en Apulie, peut-être entre 209 et 205 av. J.-C. pour la plupart d’entre elles, une date plus tardive que celle proposée par Crawford qui les pense émises par l’atelier de Rome.
Le monnayage nivernais des comtes de Nevers (954-1355). Première partie : la période d’immobilisation (954-1160 environ). II.
Authors: Peigney Gilles , Sarah Guillaume
Published: May 2022

The minting period for the feudal coinage of the earls of Nevers (France) spans a period of more than four centuries extending from 954 through 1355. The last synthesis for such coinage dates back to the end of the 19th century. This article follows up on a previous one by the same authors published in the Revue numismatique issue for 2017 which proposed for the immobilization period of this coinage a new catalog synthetizing the existing information, on the basis of both the numismatic data (types, metrology, hoards, written sources and elemental analysis) and the up to date historical information, aiming to a new chronological classification. The main purposes of the present article are to attempt to evaluate (i) the circulation and real importance of this coinage during such immobilization period and (ii), taking into account the information contained in the first article, the monetary policy of the earls during such period. Additional articles are under preparation in order to propose the same type of work covering the nominative period of the coinage of the earls of Nevers from 1160 approximately through 1355.
Genoa, Florence and the Mediterranean: New Perspectives on the Return to Gold in the 13th Century
Authors: Baldassarri Monica , Locatelli Stefano
Published: May 2022

1252 is known as the date for the return to gold in Western Europe : in that year Genoa and Florence began to produce their gold coins, opening a new era in Western European monetary history. African, Islamic, Byzantine, Crusader gold coins, however, never ceased to circulate within the Mediterranean. By considering all possible connections between East and West, this article provides new insights on long-debated problems related to the 13th century ‘ back to gold’, namely the chronology and the identification of the first Genoese gold coins, and the rise of the gold florin of Florence.
Le demi-gros de Louis XI frappé à Tarascon. Une relecture du monnayage du comté de Provence lors de son rattachement à la France
Authors: Ganne Philippe
Published: May 2022

After inheriting the County of Provence in 1481, Louis XI tried to impose the French monetary system, different from that used in the region since the 14th century. However, a small billon coin struck at Tarascon appears to have escaped this hegemonic will. New elements now make it possible to better understand the very particular circumstances of its program.
Isis et les siens dans le panthéon monétaire d’Aigai d’Éolide
Authors: Bricault Laurent
Published: May 2022

Aux premiers temps du principat de Vespasien, les autorités d’Aigai d’Éolide intègrent la déesse Isis dans un répertoire iconographique monétaire civique jusqu’alors plutôt restreint et fermé. Cette évolution survit à la dynastie flavienne. Isis, sous des formes et dans des compositions variées, devient alors l’une des divinités majeures du panthéon monétaire local, jusqu’à représenter la communauté des Aigaiens sur une émission d’homonαia frappée lors du règne de Commode.
Une émission unique de Maeonia pour Marc Aurèle au nom de Quintus II, premier archonte
Authors: Barbara Sébastien
Published: May 2022

Un unicum de Maeonia pour Marc Aurèle présente un double intérêt pour le monnayage de cette cité à l’époque des Antonins : la présence d’une Victoire contremarquée sur l’avers permet de se faire une idée de la durée de circulation des monnaies d’époque antonine dans cette cité et le motif de revers – Déméter dans un char tiré par deux serpents ailés – peut être tenu pour la première apparition de ce thème à Maeonia où il forme un diptyque avec l’enlèvement de Coré. Ces images s’expliquent par des cultes locaux, mais aussi par l’influence de Sardes et plus largement par le patrimoine mythique de la Lydie : une tradition localisait le rapt de la fille de Déméter de l’autre côté du Tmolos, près de Nysa, et les émissions d’Aurélius Diodotos pour cette cité présentent d’ailleurs, à la même époque, un programme iconographique similaire.
Les conventus de Lydie (fin IIe-IIIe siècle de notre ère) : Louis Robert, Konrad Kraft et les analyses élémentaires
Authors: Hochard Pierre-Olivier , Blet-Lemarquand Maryse , Baux Dominique
Published: May 2022

Résumé -Les liaisons de coins de droit entre monnaies provinciales micrasiatiques issues de cités différentes ont conduit les historiens à imaginer l’existence d’ateliers centraux. Dans une étude parue en 1967, L. Robert émettait l’hypothèse que les capitales de conventus

auraient pu remplir cette fonction, et plaçait beaucoup d’espoir dans l’étude de K. Kraft. Malgré la publication de celle-ci en 1972, la question reste toujours débattue. Des analyses élémentaires de monnaies frappées dans les conventus lydiens apportent un éclairage nouveau sans toutefois confirmer l’hypothèse de L. Robert.
The puzzling coins of the earliest Ottomans and their neighbors
Authors: Foss Clive
Published: May 2022

Osman, le fondateur de l’Empire ottoman, ne frappa pas monnaie ; son fils et successeur Orhan en émit au contraire une grande variété. Cet article place ces émissions dans le contexte des états turcs voisins et analyse leurs relations avec la puissance dominante des Mongols Ilkhanides. On considère aussi le rôle des imitations et on conclut en posant un certain nombre de questions qui mériteraient d’être étudiées à l’avenir.

Un réexamen de l’ensemble des sources disponibles, couplé à des méthodes d’analyse et de classification renouvelées nous permet de corriger certaines attributions. Cinq aspects très différents du monnayage au nom de Jean II sont ici abordés et les jalons ainsi posés vont permettre dans un avenir proche de réviser certaines parties plus complexes de ce monnayage.
Le portrait monétaire de Louis XIV (Louis d’or et écus d’argent)
Authors: Joyaux François
Published: May 2022

Le monnayage de Louis XIV est bien connu. De nombreuses études ont participé à sa renommée, qui souffrent néanmoins du passage du temps, d’où découlent nombre d’imprécisions ou erreurs d’interprétations et de dénomination. Pour y remédier, nous proposons une étude iconographique des portraits monétaires représentés sur les louis d’or et les écus d’argent. En lien étroit avec les autres arts du Grand siècle, nous mettons en lumière des systèmes de représentation émanant d’impératifs politiques, issus des modes alors en vigueur et s’inscrivant dans un contexte artistique qui trouve racine dans des conflits d’ordre idéologique. En annexe, une nomenclature des portraits monétaires vient à l’appui de ce travail.

Effects of a Respiratory Resistance Mask on Forced Expiratory Volume at 1s (FEV1), Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) and the Ratio of FEV1/FVC Lung Function following High Intensity Training (HIT)
Authors: C. Cheshier Brandie , H. Jacobson Bert , A. Estrada Carlos , Moghaddam Masoud , J. Stewart Carter
Published: May 2022

Training masks (TMs), marketed as simulated altitude training devices, suggest increased workout capacity, intensity tolerance and recovery. The claim is that the training mask improves respiratory power and breathing mechanics by strengthening the respiratory muscles through breathing resistance provided by the TM. The aim of this study was to compare the effects of a commercially manufactured TM in conjunction with bicycle ergometry, high intensity training (HIT) on selected lung function parameters. Volunteers (N=16) participated in this study and were randomly assigned to an experimental or control group. The experimental group wore the TM with progressive increased respiratory resistance and the control group wore the TM with no respiratory resistance. To determine lung function, pre- and post-test assessments consisted of forced expiratory volume at 1s (FEV1), forced vital capacity (FVC), the ratio of FEV1/FVC. Additionally, to determine the TMs effectiveness of maximal oxygen consumption pre- and post-time to failure during a maximum treadmill test was performed. Training was completed on a cycle ergometer on 3d/wk for 4 wks. Participants exercised at 85% of HRmax with a pedal rate of 100-120 rpm at individually set resistance levels. Training sessions consisted of 10 bouts of 30s exercise followed by 30s of active recovery for a total time of 10 minutes. The respiratory resistance for the experimental group progressively increased over the training period. Repeated measures ANOVAs yielded significant between group difference in FVC (p = 0.02) but not for FEV1 or maximum treadmill time. In conclusion, TMs in combination with HIT failed to improve lung function but created sufficient resistance to strengthen the muscles in respiratory ventilation.
Finnish 5th and 6th grade students’ pre-instructional conceptions of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and their implications for AI literacy education
Authors: Mertala Pekka , Fagerlund Janne , Calderon Oscar
Published: May 2022

In the present paper, we report the findings of a qualitative survey study of 195 Finnish 5th and 6th grade students’ pre-instructional conceptions of artificial intelligence (AI). An exploration of these initial conceptions provides insight into students’ preliminary understanding of the topic and informs curriculum designers and teachers about misconceptions that might jeopardize student learning. The findings suggest that students’ initial conceptions of AI are varied and often uninformed. For instance, references to the role of data in training AI applications were practically nonexistent. Instead, AI was often described as an anthropomorphic technology that possesses cognitive qualities equivalent to those of humans––a conception that notably resembles how AI is portrayed in the media. As a pedagogical implication, our findings suggest that it would be valuable to “demystify” AI by exploring its technical principles (i.e., the role of data) of the “human-like” AI solutions students encounter in their everyday lives.
Efectos de la auditoria forense en el control de la corrupción en las entidades públicas del Perú
Authors: Ruelas Marco , Flores Ludwing , Sucari Wilson
Published: May 2022

La auditoría forense es una herramienta especializada que permite detectar y poner en evidencia el fraude y la corrupción en la alta dirección ejecutiva de las entidades públicas conocidos como “crímenes de cuello blanco” con estructuras cada vez más enraizadas y desarrolladas bajo diversas modalidades y con la intención expresa de aprovecharse y hacerle daño al estado. Sin embargo, en los últimos años en el Perú han sido detectados y expuestos de manera creciente actos de corrupción e inconducta funcional por parte de estos ejecutivos que perjudican de sobremanera al presupuesto asignado para atender las demandas sociales de la población. En esa línea, se llevó a cabo la investigación de nivel explicativa considerando una muestra de 323 individuos (funcionarios públicos activos) elegidos de modo no probabilístico y no aleatorio con una población desconocida. Mediante la encuesta y revisión documental se muestra información relacionado al conocimiento e importancia de la auditoria forense, el gasto publico ejecutado en los años 2019 y 2020 y el perjuicio económico detectado por casos de corrupción e inconducta funcional en las entidades del estado. Entre otros resultados se encontró que el gobierno nacional tiene mayor asignación presupuestal con una ejecución anual del 90.8% en el año 2019 y 89.1% en el año 2020; así mismo, los gobiernos locales ejecutaron el 69.4% y 63.4% en ambos periodos respectivamente y  los gobiernos regionales ejecutaron el 85.3% y 89.2% respectivamente; sin embargo, el perjuicio económico por corrupción e inconducta funcional detectado por la Contraloría General de la República, alcanzó su mayor concentración en el sector transportes y comunicaciones con el 25% en al año 2019 y 16.5% en el año 2020, seguido del sector educación con el 15.6% en el año 2019 y 14.5% en el año 2020 y finalmente el sector salud con el 16.2% en el año 2019 y 6.9% en el año 2020.
Conservación de la lengua castellana a través de los ámbitos de la escritura, la investigación y la publicidad. Entrevista al Dr. Ignacio Bosque Muñoz, académico de número de la Real Academia Española
Authors: Delgado Del Águila Jesús Miguel
Published: May 2022

En esta entrevista se resolvieron las interrogantes formuladas y orientadas a la preservación de la lengua castellana en Hispanoamérica. En principio, se abordaron tres temas fundamentales derivados de esta propuesta: la escritura, la investigación y la publicidad. Con el primer tópico, se discernió la función de las normativas, los diccionarios y los manuales elaborados por la Real Academia Española. Su intervención es enjundiosa, ya que direcciona al lector y académico al perfeccionamiento de su lenguaje, con la finalidad de que no reincida en errores gramaticales. El segundo rubro abarca la investigación. Esta fue destacada porque facilita la interacción de los hablantes de la lengua castellana con las metodologías que se instauran para configurar un lenguaje totémico. Además, se asume que la única manera de difundir y contribuir a ese conocimiento sería por medio de las publicaciones científicas. La tercera variante consiste en cómo se inserta esta inquietud en torno a la lengua castellana en los ámbitos publicitarios. Esto es neurálgico por su audiencia limitada y el desinterés de respaldo por los Gobiernos. Frente a ello, consideré que el Dr. Ignacio Bosque Muñoz era la persona idónea para confrontar esta realidad sobre el castellano. Su rol importante en la RAE y la Asociación de Academias de la Lengua Española (ASALE) lo amerita, así como sus publicaciones orientadas al estudio del idioma con enfoques gramaticales. Con su interacción, la volición de este trabajo se evidenciará con la explicación del panorama vigente de la lengua y su preservación, como cuando uno desea comprender el Quijote, entender las contribuciones gramaticales y lexicales de la RAE y la ASALE o cuestionar la proliferación del idioma desde los medios de comunicación. La auscultación de esas oscilaciones será el aporte de esta entrevista.

Ezt egészíti ki a hadijátékok hazai alkalmazási tapasztalatainak összefoglalása és a különböző képzésekbe történő integrálhatóságának vizsgálata, amely különösen aktuális napjainkban, amikor a tisztképzés új rendszerének kialakítása zajlik.
Characteristics of the functional condition of the cardiovascular system of children 11, 12 years old
Authors: Kots Syuzanna , Kots Vitaliy , Kovalenko Polina
Published: May 2022

The purpose of the work is to determine the level of functional state of the cardiovascular system of children aged 11.12 years. Materials and methods. The study of functional indicators of the cardiovascular system in children (128) of two age groups (11 and 12 years). Physiometric parameters that characterize the functional state of the cardiovascular system, blood flow organs - heart rate (heart rate, beats per minute), systolic (ATC, millimeters of mercury), diastolic (ATD, millimeters of mercury) were measured directly. The Robinson's index was used as an indicator of the functionality of the cardiovascular system. Determination of the adaptive potential of the cardiovascular system was used as an integral indicator of the level of physical condition of children. Research results. The percentage of those who are dominated by the sympathetic nervous system and there is a shift towards sympathetic regulation in 12-year-old children is 13.3% and 16.7, respectively. Of the total number of subjects in 11-year subjects can be found such a large number (about 35.5% and 8.8% of students with sympathetic regulation and strong dominance of the sympathetic system), which can further lead to reduced functional capacity and the body. Indicators of the state of regulation of the cardiovascular system of children 11 and 12 years are at a level "below average". Comparing the percentage of schoolchildren in terms of adaptation capacity in groups 11 and 12 years, it was found that the largest number in the percentage of children with "unsatisfactory adaptation", which corresponds to unsatisfactory adaptation to environmental conditions while reducing functionality, in the group of 12 years (76, 67%) The number of children with unsatisfactory adaptation among 11-year-olds is 44.32% less. Conclusions. The results of the calculation of the Robinson index showed that in both groups of children 11 and 12 years of age the functional capabilities of the cardiovascular system are at a level "below average", and in children 12 years of age they are slightly lower. The average indicators of adaptation potential of the first group of 11-year-old children indicate the stress of adaptation. In the second group of 12 years, the level of adaptive capacity decreases sharply, it corresponds to unsatisfactory adaptation. The obtained research results are also a confirmation of the negative dynamics of the functional state, reserves and regulation of the cardiovascular system in the studied children. In order to improve the functional state of the respiratory system of schoolchildren, it is necessary to reduce the impact of hypodynamics, the impact of health technology, health programs.

Access to Justice for Asylum Seekers: Developing an Effective Model of Holistic Asylum Representation
Authors: Ardalan Sabrineh
Published: May 2022

Abducted, beaten, and tortured by government forces that accused him of supporting an opposition group, Matthew fled to the United States with the help of his church pastor.1 The pastor lent Matthew money and helped him obtain a passport and a visa. The pastor also put Matthew in touch with an acquaintance in Boston, who gave him a place to stay for a short time and encouraged him to apply for asylum. The acquaintance sat down with Matthew and helped him fill out the asylum application form. He told Matthew to be as specific and detailed as possible since that was the advice from other asylum applicants. He instructed Matthew to write down the exact dates and times he was abducted, the number of guards who tortured him, what they were wearing, and the exact length of each prison detention. Highly traumatized and still reeling from the effects of brutal blows to his head, Matthew could not remember the details asked of him. The acquaintance insisted, however, that Matthew write specifics down, regardless of how certain he was of the exact times, dates, and other information. When Matthew went to his Asylum Office interview, the officer questioned him about his abduction, detention, and torture.2 Matthew tried to explain what had happened, but he became distraught as the officer forced him to relive his horrific experiences in detention. Since his arrival in the United States, Matthew had tried to block out the memories of his past in an effort to move forward with his life. As Matthew attempted to answer the officer’s questions, the circumstances of each abduction, detention, and torture session blurred together. Terrified he would be forced to return to a country where he would likely be killed, Matthew’s fears overwhelmed him. He could not recall the details the asylum officer asked him about, such as the circumstances leading up to each detention and the length of time detained. Citing material inconsistencies between Matthew’s asylum application and his testimony at the interview, the asylum officer rejected Matthew’s claim.
Rethinking Immigration’s Mandatory Detention Regime: Politics, Profit, and the Meaning of “Custody”
Authors: Torrey Philip
Published: May 2022

Immigration detention in the United States is a crisis that needs immediate attention. U.S. immigration detention facilities hold a staggering number of persons. Widely believed to have the largest immigration detention population in the world, the United States detained approximately 478,000 foreign nationals in Fiscal Year 2012. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), the agency responsible for immigration enforcement, boasts that the figure is “an all-time high.” In some ways, these numbers are unsurprising, considering that the United States incarcerates approximately one in every one hundred adults within its borders—a rate five to ten times higher than any other Westernized country. An immigration law, known as the mandatory detention statute, is partially to blame for this recordbreaking immigration detention population. Under this law, facilities may hold noncitizens without providing them an opportunity to ask for release.
The New Road to Serfdom: The Curse of Bigness and the Failure of Antitrust
Authors: Bogus Carl
Published: May 2022

This Article argues for a paradigm shift in modern antitrust policy. Rather than being concerned exclusively with consumer welfare, antitrust law should also be concerned with consolidated corporate power. Regulators and courts should consider the social and political, as well as the economic, consequences of corporate mergers. The vision that antitrust must be a key tool for limiting consolidated corporate power has a venerable legacy, extending back to the origins of antitrust law in early seventeenth century England, running throughout American history, and influencing the enactment of U.S. antitrust laws. However, the Chicago School’s view that antitrust law should be exclusively concerned with consumer welfare— that is, total industry output and consumer prices—has now become the consensus view. The result has impoverished communities, decreased innovation, increased corporate cronyism, and diminished the freedom of American citizens. This is too important a topic to be left up to antitrust specialists alone. As it was during the presidential election of 1912, antitrust must again be a subject of wide public debate.
Spending Medicare’s Dollars Wisely: Taking Aim at Hospitals’ Cultures of Overtreatment
Authors: Mantel Jessica
Published: May 2022

With Medicare’s rising costs threatening the country’s fiscal health, policymakers have focused their attention on a primary cause of Medicare’s high price tag—the overtreatment of patients. Guided by professional norms that demand they do “everything possible” for their patients, physicians frequently order additional diagnostic tests, perform more procedures, utilize costly technologies, and provide more inpatient care. Much of this care, however, does not improve Medicare patients’ health, but only increases Medicare spending. Reducing the overtreatment of patients requires aligning physicians’ interests with the government’s goal of spending Medicare’s dollars wisely. Toward that end, recent Medicare payment reforms establish a range of financial incentives that encourage more efficient practices among physicians. Physicians, however, do not practice medicine in a vaccum. Rather, they are profoundly influenced by the organizational cultures of hospitals. Far too often hospitals’ cultures lead physicians to provide Medicare patients care of questionable value. If Medicare is to successfully contain costs, it must prod hospitals to move from cultures of overtreatment to cultures of efficiency. Current Medicare reform proposals, however, do too little to address hospitals’ cultures of overtreatment. That is unfortunate, as regulators will have limited success in constraining Medicare’s growth if hospitals’ cultures continue to foster the overtreatment of Medicare patients. This Article therefore sets forth a more robust proposal for reforming Medicare payment policy, one that would facilitate hospitals fully embracing a culture of efficiency. Specifically, federal regulators should reform the Medicare Hospital Value-Based Purchasing Program so that a hospital’s Medicare payment rates are tied to the hospital’s success in lowering the cost of treating patients both inside and outside the hospital setting. Regulators could accomplish this goal by incorporating into the program efficiency measures based on broadly defined episodes of care.
Retention and Reform in Japanese Capital Punishment
Authors: Johnson David
Published: May 2022

This Article focuses on the failure of abolition and of death penalty reform in Japan in order to illustrate contingencies in the trajectory of capital punishment in the modern world. Part I describes three facts about postwar Japan that help explain why it retains capital punishment today: a missed opportunity for abolition during the American occupation of the country after World War II; the long-term rule of a conservative political party; and economic and geopolitical power that has enabled the country to resist the influence of international norms. Part II describes a few ways in which Japanese capital punishment has changed in recent years— and many ways in which it has not. Part III focuses on four causes of continuity in capital punishment in Japan: the rarity of exonerations in Japanese criminal justice; a jurisprudence that does not treat death as a special form of criminal punishment requiring extra safeguards for criminal defendants in capital cases; a high degree of secrecy surrounding executions and capital sentencing; and a society in which race is not regarded as a salient factor in the administration of capital punishment. Part IV suggests how reform in Japanese capital punishment might be accomplished by challenging some of the causes of continuity. Part V concludes by observing that the road to death penalty reform is not merely a positive path requiring leadership from the front in the face of public support for the institution. It is also a negative path leading away from beliefs and practices that present obstacles to the institution’s diminution and abrogation.

Development of a Digital Twin for an Elevator System
Authors: Ouadoudi Marouane , Schwarz Michael H. , Borcsok Josef
Published: May 2022

The increasing digitalization of production processes and current technological developments make it possible to use sophisticated digital product models or virtual images of industrial and technical processes, so called digital twins. In this paper a digital twin is created using different development environments and systems, such as Simulink®, B&R® control, CAD design environment and OPC-UA communication. The creation process used is verified and simulations are performed with the created digital twin to test and validate its behavior and efficiency compared with the physical model. Then the two systems, which are the digital twin and the elevator model, are linked together so that the communication between the two can be verified. The ability to communicate with the real world is one of the main characteristics of an optimal digital twin.
Abriendo los límites de la expresión artística y social

El siglo XX marcó un antes y un después en el Arte. Fundamentalmente, el surgimiento de las vanguardias artísticas trajo consigo nuevos ideales que abrieron paso al planteamiento de la obra abierta. Por tanto, desde el contexto actual del siglo XXI, nos preguntamos: ¿Cómo el Arte actual expresa esta idea de obra abierta?, ¿cómo el Arte de hoy consigue expandirse hacia pretensiones sociales y comunicativas que involucran al espectador en nuevas formas de participación? Es por ello que mostramos diferentes ejemplos , que nos cuentan cómo se ha ido gestando la situación del autor y del espectador frente a la obra.
Esfera pública y espacios por vivir
Authors: Serra Navarro David , Ortiz Valeri Carme
Published: May 2022

La Ciudad, como construcción política, social y cultural es un producto de las interrelaciones simbólicas que evolucionan, se transforman y se reinventan en la línea de tiempo que deviene un escenario, un espacio común, la esfera pública definida por Jürgen Habermas. El vínculo entre lo imaginado, lo virtual y lo real se cruzan, generándose un interesante diálogo entre el imaginario colectivo y la producción de realidad. Un recorrido de experiencias en las que la “mirada” (gaze) se ve alterada por unas construcciones de poder y representaciones que se reproducen en un marco de interconectividad global y transmedia.
Viertelwellenlängenresonatoren – innovative, praktische Lösungen gegen Verkehrslärm aus den Niederlanden
Authors: Efkemann Mirco , Wijnant Ysbrand H.
Published: May 2022

 

Einführung Verkehrslärm ist eine der größten Herausforderungen der aktuellen Zeit und hat starken Einfluss auf die Gesundheit und das Wohlbefinden der Menschen. Studien des Bundesumweltamtes zeigen, dass sich ca. 50 % von befragten Personen in Deutschland von Verkehrslärm mindestens gestört fühlen1). Aus dem Mobilitätsatlas 2019 der Heinrich-Böll-Stiftung geht hervor, dass zwischen 3 000 bis 6 000 frühzeitige Todesfälle auf Verkehrslärm zurückzuführen sind2). Es gibt vielfältige Lösungen in Form von z. B. Lärmschutzwänden oder offen- porigen Asphalten, die Anwohner vor gesundheitsschädlichem Lärm schützen. Diese Systeme funktionieren nach zwei physikalischen Prinzipien. Sie absorbieren oder sie reflektieren den Schall. 4Silence B.V., ein niederländisches Spin-off der Universität Twente in Enschede, hat ein System entwickelt, welches die beiden genannten Prinzipien im Rahmen von Verkehrslärmbekämpfung um ein Drittes erweitern, bei dem mithilfe von sogenannten Viertelwellenlängen-Resonatoren die Schallwellen nach oben abgelenkt werden. Unabhängige Messkampagnen in verschiedenen Ländern haben den Effekt der Viertelwellenlängen-Resonatoren nachgewiesen. Für die Implemen- tierung dieses Effektes in die Konstruktion einer Lärmschutzwand wurde das Unternehmen auf der diesjährigen DAGA in Stuttgart mit dem DEGA-Lärmschutzpreis ausgezeichnet. In der niederländischen Gesetzgebung sind die sogenannten Diffraktoren als gesetzliche Maßnahme zur Minderung von Verkehrslärm anerkannt.
La empresa virtual
Authors: Arjonilla Domínguez Sixto J. , Medina Garrido José Aurelio
Published: May 2022

La teoría de la organización se está reorientando hacia el estudio de nuevas formas organizativas de tipo flexible y virtual. En este contexto, el presente trabajo describe las tres concepciones de “empresa virtual” que prevalecen en la literatura: (a) red temporal de empresas independientes; (b) empresa que crea “productos virtuales” integrando en el proceso a suministradores y clientes; y, (c) empresa formada por redes de teletrabajadores. Tras identificar sus características más significativas e integrarlas en un modelo, se analiza el papel que juegan la tecnología, la información y los recursos humanos, y se describe la estructura organizativa que mejor.
Motivos y objetivos de la implantación de la gestión de la calidad de empresas españolas de servicios: un análisis comparativo entre enfoques
Authors: Cruz Ros Sonia
Published: May 2022

En este trabajo se realiza un estudio comparativo entre los dos principales enfoques de gestión de la calidad actuales —el aseguramiento de la calidad y la gestión de la calidad total—, con el fin de determinar si existen diferencias significativas respecto a cuáles son los motivos y objetivos que persiguen las empresas a la hora de implantar un sistema de calidad. Para ello se llevó a cabo un estudio empírico sobre medianas y grandes empresas de servicios españolas, y los resultados indican que en función de la elección de un enfoque u otro, los motivos que conducen a la implantación del sistema, así como los objetivos perseguidos, son diferentes.

Acute small bowel obstruction (ASBO) continues to be one of the most difficult problems of emergency abdominal surgery.

Materials and methods. The results of treatment of 123 patients aged 18–80 years with ASBO were evaluated. Patients were divided into two groups: 1st - with a positive result (survivors, n = 101), 2nd — with an unfavourable result (non-survivors, n = 22).

Results. All these patients underwent emergency surgery: the adhesive disease was the main cause in 101 (82.1 %) patients with ASBO, small bowel obstruction in gallstones was in 2 (1.6 %) and volvulus was the cause in 20 (16.3 %) ) patients. Small bowel ischemia developed in 49 (39.8 %) patients: reversible in 21 (42.9 %) and irreversible in 28 (57.1 %) patients; generalized peritonitis was present in 24 (19.5 %) patients, in 18 (75 %) of them abdominal sepsis was presented according to the criteria of Sepsis-3. After the operation, 22 patients (17.9 %) died, which were analyzed: in the early stages (first 72 hours), seventeen patients (77.3 %) and others (22.7 %) - from the third to the seventh day of the postoperative period. Studies have shown that only three laboratory parameters (blood leukocytes, lactate and C-reactive protein) and one instrumental (involving the mesentery of the small intestine, free fluid in the abdomen during CT) with a probability of 80 % or more were significantly associated with strangulated ASBO, as well as six indicators with the same probability were associated with early mortality after surgery. In both groups, the main operation in 95 (77.2 %) patients was adhesiolysis, transnasal tube of the small intestine and drainage of the abdominal cavity. The choice of access for surgery (laparoscopy or laparotomy) (P = 0.000), as well as the duration of surgery (P = 0.038), affected the results of the treatment in patients under analysis, although the types of operations performed did not significantly affect the results in these groups patients (P = 1.000). Immediate results in patients depended on the development of intra-abdominal complications after surgery (P = 0.024) and the need for early re-operation (P = 0.006). The development of postoperative complications, such as cardiovascular dysfunction (P = 0.000) and respiratory dysfunction (P = 0.000), also affected the treatment outcomes in these patients.

Conclusion. It was confirmed that three laboratories and one instrumental parameter were indicated of strangulated ASBO before surgery and the six parameters studied were predictors of early mortality before surgery with a probability of 80 % or more.

Published: May 2022

The purpose of the work: To study and characterize the nosological forms of complications, as well as the causes of their development, and to develop optimal treatment tactics.

Material and methods: The study involved 650 victims with abdominal trauma, who were treated at the “Zaporozhzhia hospital of emergency care”. 53 cases (8,15%) were diagnosed abdominal complications. Diagnosis of abdominal complications were based on clinical data, X-ray data, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the abdominal cavity, ultrasonography diagnostics (US), clinical and biochemical analyses.

Results and discussion. The main types of surgical interventions, treatment during the postoperative period were described. They were caused by tactical and technical errors of the treatment program and severe abdominal injuries, wich caused disorders of homeostasis. The main types of operative interventions and treatment tactics during postoperative period are described

Conclusions. The multimodular treatment of postoperative abdominal septic complications, that include using of modern methods of diagnostic and treated program, intensive perioperative tactic and extracorporal detoxication methods reduced mortality to 3,2%.
