8. Gioachino Rossini, Voice Assemblies In The Opera IL Barbiere Di Siviglia
Authors: Fântână Cristina Simionescu 
Published: May 2020

Abstract
In Naples, Gioachino Rossini creates some of his works for representations in other cities. The best known, the Barber of Seville or Useless Precaution, opened on February 20, 1816, atTeatro Argentina in Rome. The booklet, a version of Pierre de Beaumarchais’s eponymous novel, was rewritten by Cesare Sterbini, being a variant other than that already used by Giovanni Paisiello. Moreover, since then the work has enjoyed a great popularity, contributing to this triumph and the extremely short period in which it was conceived: two or three weeks. Later, Rossini claimed that he had created the work in just twelve days. The opening, initially bearing the title of Almaviva, was not successful, as the admirers of Paisiello, extremely indignant, sabotaged the show by whistling and shouting throughout the first act. However, shortly after the second performance, the work became so appreciated that the fame of Paisiello’s work was transferred to Rossini, the title The Barber of Seville becoming an inalienable Rossinian heritage. Il Barbiere was not Rossini’s favourite work. Ironically, it won the status of classical opera much later, at the end of the Rossini’s career. Today we clearly consider its status as the first in the history of the work, often overlooking the radical impact it had at the time of the opening, when it shocked and provoked a large audience of unknowing persons. The speed of his writing could explain the dramatic drop in intensity felt in the second half of the second act.
13. The Systematic of the Characters from the Opera a Stormy Night by Paul Constantinescu
Authors: Radu-Țaga Consuela 
Published: May 2020

Abstract
In the history of the Romanian musical theatre the comic opera A Stormy Night written by Paul Constantinescu set up the buffa style. All along the two acts carried out in approximately 50 minutes you can hear Romanian folklore resonances, with Anton Pann echoes, as the 7 characters from the opera live in the Bucharest of the 19th century. The leitmotif technique is at the basis of the musical story, 9 melodious-rhythmic configurations getting detached. The musical discourse of the singers is entirely subordinated to the text, and the ample breath appeals to the recitative singing, which evolves towards arioso. The categorical overlapping of the musical declamation with the spoken language initiates a route in which we encounter phenomena such as sprechgesang, parlato, yelling, buffa slipping of the voice. The characters are X-rayed with a deep critical spirit and the capacity to illustrate funny situations gains a lot from Constantinescu’s experience.
3. Essential Aspects in the Creation of Means of Scenic Expressivity Specific to the Puppet Show
Authors: Huțanu Raluca Bujoreanu 
Published: May 2020

Abstract
The expressiveness of a doll can be generated by the way it is constructed and animated, by the ability of the puppet to transmit messages through the play with the doll. Through color, sound, simple and clear suggestion of the puppet’s message to the spectators, the object comes to life and the puppet show becomes an artistic act. In other words, the purpose of the puppet show creator is to suggest in his representation human behavior in the most expressive ways possible - using all the means of language that he has in an original and creative way.
3. The Role of Arts in School Education
Authors: Aprotosoaie-Iftimi Ana-Maria 
Published: May 2020

Abstract
Contemporary psychologist Didier Anzieu220 speaks of five phases of the process of creation: creative emotion, gaining consciousness, transposition, elaboration, and exposure. Each of the five phases has a correspondent in the stages of development of visual-plastic educational activities, and the role of the teacher is essential in each of them. Starting from the five phases, we propose an approach pattern to the creative process, adapted and developed during the years of experience in pre-university educational environment, and refined throughout the research activity carried out in the university environment.
9. The Critical Role of Art Education in Community Building as Viewed by Art Teachers. A Qualitative Study
Authors: Assante Gabriela Monica , Enescu Florin 
Published: May 2020

Abstract
The present study aims to describe the ways in which art education impacts community life through art products. The sample consists of 32 teachers/creators in various fields of work such as fine arts, composition, literature, musical interpretation, choreography and acting. Categorical content analysis is used for data analysis. The highest-ranking emerging theme is related to the means of educational intervention in the community through art. Artistic education leads to empowerment and emancipation by provoking people to think differently while the exposure to artistic creations has a therapeutic effect and contributes to identifying new ways of action. Artists in the role of teachers feel a responsibility both for the educational process and also for the emotional message that their creative product transmits to the audience.
Screening for pancreatic cancer: a review for general clinicians
Authors: Wiest Nathaniel E. , Moktan Varun P. , Oman Sven P. , Chirilă Răzvan M. 
Published: May 2020

Abstract
Pancreatic cancer (PC) is an exceptionally lethal malignancy with increasing incidence and mortality worldwide. One of the principal challenges in the treatment of PC is that the diagnosis is usually made at a late stage when potentially curative surgical resection is no longer an option. General clinicians including internists and family physicians are well positioned to identify high-risk individuals and refer them to centers with expertise in PC screening and treatment where screening modalities can be employed. Here, we provide an up-to-date review of PC precursor lesions, epidemiology, and risk factors to empower the general clinician to recognize high-risk patients and employ risk reduction strategies. We also review current screening guidelines and modalities and preview progress that is being made to improve screening tests and biomarkers.
It is our hope that this review article will empower the general clinician to understand which patients need to be screened for PC, strategies that may be used to reduce PC risk, and which screening modalities are available in order to diminish the lethality of PC.
Real-life outcomes of unselected acute promyelocytic leukemia patients: a single-center 14-year experience
Authors: Akcay Omer Faruk , Yeter Haci Hasan , Buyukasik Yahya 
Published: May 2020

Abstract

Background. After the inclusion of all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) into the treatment of Acute Promyelocytic leukemia (APL), a notable improvement concerning the survival rates of patients with APL has been observed. However, the population-based studies demonstrated that there was no marked improvement in the survival of patients after the 2000s. We aim to describe the clinical response and prognosis of adult patients diagnosed with APL and examine the change in these outcomes by the time period of diagnosis.

Methods. We retrospectively reviewed thirty-six unselected APL patients who were diagnosed between September 2003 and February 2016.

Results. The probability of survival at two years was 58%, while disease-free survival (DFS) was 87%. The overall early death (ED) rate was 33% and remain stable over time [42% in 2003–2009 vs. 24% in 2010–2016 (p=.20)]. In addition, the 2-year overall survival (OS) rates were 47% in 2003–2009 and 70% in 2010–2016 (p=.29), and no differences were noted. Univariate analyses showed possible predictors of poor OS were defined as leukocytosis (≥10x109/L), high Sanz score, hemorrhage, infection, disseminated intravascular coagulopathy (DIC) at presentation and microgranular morphologic subtype.

Conclusions. This study shows that long-term survival remains low in APL patients, particularly related to a high ED rate. Initiatives to reduce ED are exceedingly substantial for improving the survival in APL.
Sepsis, a 2020 review for the internist
Authors: Purcarea Adrian , Sovaila Silvia 
Published: May 2020

Abstract
Sepsis is an overwhelming reaction to infection that comes with high morbidity and mortality, which requires urgent interventions in order to improve outcomes.

Surviving Sepsis is an international campaign that aims to improve sepsis outcomes. The 2016 guideline modifies the previous definition of sepsis and proposes some specific diagnostic and therapeutic measures, such as the protocolized use of fluid resuscitation and antibiotics.
We aim to summarize the main recommendations of the 2016 guideline that are relevant to the internist and evidence-base update them to the year 2020. In the current context, this review doesn’t address patients affected by SARS-COV2 induced disease.

Abstract

Background. In December 2019, China has experienced an outbreak of novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Coronavirus has now spread to all of the continents. We aimed to consider clinical characteristics, laboratory data of COVID-19 that provided more information for the research of this novel virus.

Methods. We performed a retrospective cohort study on the clinical symptoms and laboratory findings of a series of the 100 confirmed patients with COVID-19. These patients were admitted to the hospitals affiliated to Babol University of Medical Sciences (Ayatollah Rohani, Shahid Beheshti and Yahyanejad hospitals) form 25 February 2020 to 12 March 2020.

Results. Nineteen patients died during hospitalization and 81 were discharged. Non-survivor patients had a significantly higher C-reactive protein (CRP) (MD: 46.37, 95% CI: 20.84, 71.90; P = 0.001), white blood cells (WBCs) (MD: 3.10, 95% CI: 1.53, 4.67; P < 0.001) and lower lymphocyte (MD: –8.75, 95% CI: –12.62, –4.87; P < 0.001) compared to survivor patients Data analysis showed that comorbid conditions (aRR: 2.99, 95% CI: 1.09, 8.21, P = 0.034), higher CRP levels (aRR: 1.02, 95% CI: 1.01, 1.03, P = 0.044), and lower lymphocyte (aRR: 0.82, 95% CI: 0.73, 0.93, P = 0.003) were associated with increased risk of death.

Conclusions. Based on our findings, most non-survivors are elderly with comorbidities. Lymphopenia and increased levels of WBCs along with elevated CRP were associated with increased risk of death. Therefore, it is best to be regularly assessed these markers during treatment of COVID-19 patients.

Abstract

Introduction: Our study investigated the importance of inflammation markers – ratio of platelets and lymphocytes (PLR), ratio of neutrophils and lymphocytes (NLR) and ratio of lymphocytes and monocytes (LMR) – as predictive markers in the occurrence of fistula or stenosis in patients diagnosed with gastric adenocarcinoma who underwent gastric resections.

Materials and Methods: We conducted a retrospective study of 178 patients diagnosed with gastric adenocarcinoma. The included patients were divided into 3 groups: group 1 (77 patients, who underwent lower gastrectomy), group 2 (27 patients, who had upper polar gastrectomy otherwise known as proximal gastrectomy), group 3 (74 patients, who underwent total gastrectomy). Ratios of PLR, NLR, respectively LMR were calculated for all patients.

Results: Out of 178 patients 52 (29.2%) developed postoperative stenosis and 16 patients (9.0%) had postoperative fistulae. The occurrence of anastomotic stenosis was associated with significantly higher preoperative platelet counts (p=0.043) and PLR values (p=0.023). ROC curve analysis indicated that the optimal PLR value for the prediction of gastric stenosis was 198.4 (AUC= 0.609, sensitivity: 59.6%, specificity: 61.9%). For the prediction of fistulization PRL also displayed the highest performance among the analyzed hematological parameters (AUC=0.561, sensitivity: 43.7%, specificity: 81.5%, cut-off value 116.6.

Conclusion: Our study indicates the importance of PLR as e predictive factor in the occurrence of anastomotic complications (fistulae or stenosis) immediately following surgery in patients with gastric adenocarcinoma that undergo gastric resections. Further prospective studies on larger groups of patients are required, considering that PLR, NLR and LMR will be key markers in the clinical management of patients with gastric cancer.

Authors: Hladíková L. , Jebavý M. 
Published: May 2020

Abstract
Although the issue of urban greenery is a frequently discussed topic and numerous case studies have already documented the beneficial functions of green spaces in the cities, studies on the balance of urban greenery during the past 20th century are few. This research follows up the issue of Prague urban green spaces during the years 1901–2010 and documents the changes in Prague public greenery in that period. The analysis specifies the development of public greenery and characterizes its categories in the individual decades of the 20th century. The percentage of public greenery and its area in hectares are given for each decade. Furthermore, the total green area is confronted with the number of inhabitants then living in Prague. The results have shown a continuous development and expansion of urban greenery. Their application will be beneficial to the city planning for sustainable development and further management of current and future public green areas as a part of the capital’s urban structure.

An Evaluation of the Mathematical Models of Energy Piles
Authors: Oravec Jakub , Šikula Ondřej , Nováková Iva 
Published: May 2020

Abstract
A current trend is to reduce the energy performance of buildings by using alternative sources for heating and cooling. One of the most promising, and so far unprecedented sources of heating and cooling, is the use of energy from the earth using the thermally-activated foundation piles of a building, the so-called energy piles. The paper deals with an overview and comparison of computer-aided analytical models of energy piles. The individual analytical models are compared (categorized) from the point of view of their physical complexity, computational costs, and thus their usability for the purpose of optimizing energy-pile equipment or assessing the long-term energy efficiency of an energy pile field. Selected mathematical models were algorithmized, and the results obtained were compared with a more robust numerical solution performed using CalA 4 software.
The Role of Telecardiology in Dealing with Patients with Cardiac Rhythm Disorders in Family Medicine – Systematic Review
Authors: Vodička Staša , Naji Husam Franjo , Zelko Erika 
Published: May 2020

Abstract

Purpose
Heart rhythm disorders (HRD) are often present in patients visiting their family physician (FP). Dealing with their problems is not always simple, efficient and cost effective. The aim of this paper is to review the existing literature about the use and experience of telecardiology in patients experiencing HRD.

Methods
We conducted a review of literature in PubMed biographical databases (MeSH thesaurus), Web of Science and Cochrane, between 1995 and 2019. We included original articles in English that describe the use of telecardiology at primary and secondary healthcare levels. Exclusion criteria are those publications that discuss heart failure or observation of the activity of pacemakers or defibrillators and the age of patients under 18 years. A total of 19 papers met the inclusion criteria, thirteen of them were original scientific articles and we included them in the analysis.

Results
Use of telemedicine can shorten the time from diagnosis to the necessary treatment (2/13), telemedicine can reduce mortality in patients with acute myocardial infarction (4/13), it can shorten the time to diagnose atrial fibrillations (4/13), it can help determine the diagnosis for patients complaining about heart rhythm disorders which were not detected on the standard ECG recording (2/13) and can also help identify cardiac causes for syncope or collapse (2/13). All studies have confirmed that the use of telecardiology significantly reduces the number of unnecessary referrals to a cardiologist or hospitalization, and shortens the time needed to treat patients with life-threatening conditions.

Conclusion
The use of telecardiological techniques increases the quality and safety of work in managing patients with cardiovascular disease in FP practice. Usage of telecardiologic devices can also save money and bridge the gap between the primary and secondary healthcare levels.

Published: May 2020

Abstract
Selecting online the most suitable product or service can be a draining process, and the broad diversity of products on retailers’ websites is overwhelming. Following this, there has been a high interest in examining buyers’ motivations and recognizing the determinant factors that affect the decision-making process in the case of online shopping. Hence, in this article, we carried out an empirical study and we analyzed to what extent certain factors such as product features, confidence in the online shop, product reviews, product price, consumer evaluations, the trust of the sources, usability of the online shop, convictions and commitment to the brand, product notoriety, consumer loyalty programs, WOM, and eWOM influence the purchasing decision. The findings reveal that the most significant variables determining the acquisition decision are product features, confidence in the online shop, reviews of the product, product price, and evaluations of customers from trusted sources. The most relevant information resources are trustworthy websites that offer specialized product reviews and reliable websites that offer customer product reviews.
The Impact of Operating Cash Flow and Current Ratio on the Profitability in Construction Industry
Authors: Pordea Daniela , David Delia , Mateș Dorel 
Published: May 2020

Abstract
The quality of works and a good reputation on the market are the main factors that lead to the success of a construction business. That is why most of the projects carried out in this sector involve the provision of performance guarantees which are mainly constituted by retaining the amounts from each payment. This impacts the cash, but also the liquidity ratios of the entities. The purpose of our research is to analyze the influence of the operating cash flow and the current liquidity ratio on the profitability in the case of construction companies. For this, we have developed a linear regression model on cross-section financial data related to a single reporting year and obtained from construction companies in western Romania. The results we have obtained did not reveal statistical significance for the exogenous variables used in the model. However, we consider it important to deepen the problem of cash flows and the ability of construction companies to meet their short-term obligations in the context of retaining performance guarantees. Further research in this regard based on panel data for several financial periods could provide relevant results
Fiscal Reforms and Deficits in Tanzania: An Exploratory Review
Authors: Mawejje Joseph , Odhiambo Nicholas M. 
Published: May 2020

Abstract
This study provides an exploratory review of the trends, policy reforms, and determinants of fiscal deficits in Tanzania during the period 1980-2017. During this period, the country undertook various fiscal policy reforms intended to improve revenue mobilization and expenditure efficiency. The most significant of these reforms included the introduction of the semi-autonomous revenue authority and an extensive public financial management reform program. While the post-independence period was characterized by large fiscal deficits, recent trends show that fiscal deficits in Tanzania have been contained, even as some public investment management challenges exist. The review of trends and literature suggests that fiscal deficits are linked to the structure of the economy, low levels of development, donor aid and grants, as well as the overall macroeconomic environment. In particular, fiscal deficits are associated with growth cycles, inflationary episodes, and external sector developments.
