The Impact of Seasonality on Prosthetic Arteriovenous Vascular Access Graft Thrombosis
Authors: Zammit Stefan , Cassar Kevin 
Published: December 2021

Highlights

Abstract

Introduction:
Arteriovenous prosthetic grafts are susceptible to recurrent thrombotic occlusions mainly due to venous outflow disease secondary to neointimal hyperplasia. Maintenance of vascular access for dialysis is a perpetual challenge for both patients and health care systems. In regions with hotter climates, there is a clinical impression that episodes of prosthetic arteriovenous vascular access graft thrombosis are more frequent during hot dry summers secondary to dehydration and increased blood viscosity. Seasonality of thrombotic events has been observed in multiple vascular beds. However, a seasonal pattern or any association of arteriovenous graft thrombosis with temperature and relative humidity levels has never been fully demonstrated.

Methods:
Data were collected prospectively from January 2014 until December 2020 but analyzed retrospectively. In this 7-year timeframe, 289 episodes of arteriovenous graft thrombosis were identified from 142 grafts fashioned.

Results:
No monthly variation (P = 0.35) or seasonal variation (P = 0.91) was identified. No statistically significant correlation between episodes of thrombosis and mean monthly temperature and mean relative humidity was noted.

Conclusion:
No evidence was identified to support this theory. However, multiple issues with assessments of events must be conceded. Graft thrombosis is multifactorial in nature, and venous outflow disease contributes toward a significant number of these events. Within our local cohort, a low primary patency rate was identified, which further contributes to graft interventions. Relatively small numbers were recruited, and therefore, potential correlations could have been missed.
Seismic response of various sites of the territory of Kyiv to seismic loads
Authors: Kendzera O. V. , Semenova Yu. V. 
Published: December 2021

The research presented in the work aims to assess the seismic response of three different taxonometric sites, identified by the method of engineering and geological analogies within the territory of Kyiv, to seismic loads with different spectral content and peak amplitude from 0.01 g to 0.06 g. Assessment of the influence of local soil conditions on the intensity of earthquakes is an important task of earthquake-resistant design and construction. The soil layer at the base of the study site acts as a filter on seismic vibrations. It amplifies or attenuates the amplitude of the seismic wave propagating from the bedrock to the free surface. The paper considers the mechanisms of the possible amplification of seismic motions by various soil complexes and methods for calculating the seismic response to seismic loads of various intensities. As an analytical tool for analyzing the response of the taxonometric areas to seismic vibrations (seismic response), an equivalent linear analysis was used, which is comprehensively studied and widely used in engineering seismology. For the selected sites, models of soil strata were built, and graphs of changes with depth of peak shear strain and peak ground acceleration (PGA) were calculated, as well as predicted (expected with a given probability of non-exceeding) amplitude Fourier spectra of seismic motions in the upper layer and the response spectra of single oscillators with 5 % attenuation to seismic effects with a maximum amplitude from 0.01 g to 0.06 g. A comparative analysis of the change in the value of these parameters in individual sections of Kyiv is presented. It is shown that to assess the potential hazard from seismic ground motions during earthquakes, it is necessary to use the maximum number of design parameters that characterize the seismic hazard of specific areas and which are used to determine the seismic resistance of buildings and structures. The most complete seismic hazard for calculating the seismic stability of objects is set by the full vector of seismic motions deployed in time: calculated accelerograms, seismograms and velocigrams. The presented calculation results are planned to be used in solving methodological and practical problems of earthquake protection, which can be realized in different parts of the territory of Kyiv.
CONTINUIDAD Y DISCONTINUIDAD EN LA TRANSMISIÓN DE LAS PALABRAS PATRIMONIALES COMPETIDAS POR ARABISMOS: “OLIVA Y ACEITUNA, OLIO Y ACEITE, OLIVO Y ACEITUNO”
Authors: ENĂCHESCU Mihai 
Published: December 2021

Continuity and Discontinuity in the Transmission of Spanish Inherited Words Competed by Arabisms: oliva and aceituna, olio and aceite, olivo and aceituno. The loss and replacement of Arabisms by Latin loanwords was a frequent phenomenon between the sixteenth and the seventeenth centuries; the opposite movement, the replacement of an inherited word by an Arabism is far less frequent. Oliva, an inherited word, is competed by the Arabism aceituna; currently the common name for the fruit in the Hispanic world is aceituna, and oliva has a restricted use to the phrase aceite de oliva or to refer to a colour. Similarly, the inherited word olio will be replaced by aceite, and with a specialized meaning will be eliminated by the euphuism óleo, its etymological doublet. On the other hand, olivo prevails over aceituno and represents a special case of continuity in this lexical family. The research will be carried out in two directions: first, I will analyse the old academic dictionaries and other specialized dictionaries and glossaries from the fifteenth-twentieth centuries. Second, I will conduct a corpus analysis, based on the diachronic corpora available for the Spanish language. This study will try to answer the questions how? and why? of these neological movements of vocabulary.
REZUMAT. Continuitate și discontinuitate în transmiterea cuvintelor moștenite din spaniolă concurate de arabisme: oliva și aceituna, olio și aceite, olivo și aceituno. Dispariția și înlocuirea arabismelor cu împrumuturi latinești este un fenomen frecvent între secolele XV și XVII; mișcarea contrară, substituirea unui cuvânt moștenit cu un arabism este mult mai puțin frecventă. Oliva, cuvânt moștenit, este concurat de arabismul aceituna; în prezent denumirea uzuală pentru fruct în lumea hispanică este aceituna, iar oliva cunoaște un uz restrâns la sintagma aceite de oliva sau pentru a se referi la o culoare. În mod analog, cuvântul moștenit olio va fi înlocuit de aceite, și cu un semnificat specializat va fi eliminat de cultismul óleo, dubletul său etimologic. Pe de altă parte, olivo se impune în fața lui aceituno și reprezintă un caz special de continuitate în această familie lexicală. Cercetarea se va desfășura în două direcții: în primul rând, vom analiza dicționarele academice vechi și alte dicționare specializate și glosare din secolele XV-XX. În al doilea rând, vom face o analiză de corpus, bazată pe corpusurile diacronice disponibile pentru limba spaniolă. Acest studiu va încerca să răspundă la întrebările cum? și de ce? ale acestor mișcări neologice ale vocabularului.

Objectives and Requirements for the IGCSE, AS and A Level in Some Coursebooks Designed for These Exams. The IGCSE, AS and A level Spanish exams are exams of different language levels that belong to the Cambridge curriculum. Romanian students and not only, in some private secondary schools, can choose either this type of exam or the national high school exam, both of which offer the possibility of university entrance. In addition to the syllabus, Cambridge provides teachers and students with materials for preparation, assessment and self-assessment. Likewise, teachers have training courses and interaction with other teachers. The Cambridge coursebooks used in a private school in Romania, Transylvania College, are analyzed, the purpose of this study being to observe how they are reflected and if the objectives and requirements of the curriculum are met in the content of the manuals studied. Regarding the content and activities proposed in the manuals, we intend to check how they meet the needs of the students and finally, how they prepare them for those exams.

Aprendiendo a servir en hospitales por una dote: Prolegómenos del aprendizaje femenino juvenil de un oficio en hospitales sevillanos en el Antiguo Régimen Español
Authors: Rivasplata Varillas Paula Ermila 
Published: December 2021

Este articulo trata de una realidad desconocida, pero practicada en algunos hospitales castellanos, que fue la entrega de dotes matrimoniales a sus criadas. El problema que plantea el artículo es determinar por qué aparecieron las dotes por trabajo y por qué los fundadores de hospitales no crearon dotes para sus trabajadoras y preferían entregar dotes a mujeres huérfanas y pobres en las distintas cofradías creadas para tal fin. En Sevilla, uno de los primeros hospitales que se tiene constancia que entregó dotes a sus trabajadoras fue el hospital de San Hermenegildo y pronto le siguió el hospital de las Cinco Llagas, ambos hospitales compartían dos de sus patronos. De los patronatos creados en estos hospitales para obras pías, solo uno en cada uno de ellos fue creado para dotar a las criadas que trabajaban en tales hospitales. Los otros patronatos lo dejaron a voluntad de sus autoridades. Finalmente se propone conocer las diferencias y funciones que cumplieron las jóvenes que trabajaron para obtener las dotes y el proceso para conseguirlo dentro de estos emblemáticos hospitales andaluces durante el Antiguo Régimen.

This outline is dedicated to the reconstruction of an individual cultural code of high school students, who, due to the 2020 lockdown, were forced to self-isolate from peers and limit their school activity to online contacts. Based on the analysis of students’ written assignments, the author discusses what builds their identity and impacts the outlook on the world, as well as reconstructs youth’s beliefs regarding the role of old and contemporary, elitist and popular art. The study indicates the spheres of life important to young people, documents their understanding of how being apart, they can still demonstrate care of others, and emphasises the significance of students’ independence and benefits arising from recognition of their empowerment. The statements of high school girls and boys quoted by the researcher inspire further reflections on both the objectives of humanities education and the means of their implementation.
Światła małego miasta. O doświadczaniu i opisywaniu małomiasteczkowości Zbliżał
Authors: Szoska Maria 
Published: December 2021

The album „Małomiasteczkowy” was released in 2018. Immediately, it became a summer hit. The author of the song is Dawid Podsiadło, the young artist who builds his career consciously. Despite the fact that he creates popular music, he may be referred to as an “author” as he writes his lyrics. Moreover, his concerts are like happenings, Podsiadło touches upon contemporary geopolitical problems.
In her article, Maria Szoska proves that the remarkable popularity of the song contributed to a change in the understanding of the word “małomiasteczkowy” (provincial). The article describes the workshop for high school students. The workshop was a part of the project Zdolni z Pomorza. The concept of the classes was inspired by Sylwia Chutnik’s interpretation of Podsiadło’s song published in one of the popular tabloids. In her research, Maria Szoska put the emphasis on the provincial figure seen by the high school students. Geocritical categories were applied both to the lyrics and the music video, then the students’ interpretative abilities were probed. The results of the experiment show that the definition available in the dictionaries is no longer adequate as the difference between the centre and the outskirts is not obvious anymore. Therefore, we are able to witness the semantic shifts. Podsiadło’s album proves the active performance of the word, as well as the space affecting human live.
Słownik pojęć podstawowych

The text explains the basic concepts that constitute the foundation of the original philosophy of humanistic education, implemented within the Polish language as a subject taught at school. This concept is based on the consistently respected idea of subjectivity, and therefore has an anthropological and cultural character. Among other things, the author answers the questions of why, what and how to teach at school. Guided by the principle „my language is my world”, he encourages people to change the way of thinking about education. Proposing a new language for describing school reality, the author thoroughly and critically analyzes the language that is dominat in contemporary educational discourse – in order to draw attention to its imprecision, non-functionality or complete inadequacy – and thus to show how „the language thinks instead of us” and what negative consequences this entails in practice.

A criação de um Centro de Serviços Compartilhados (CSC) constitui uma estratégia amplamente adotada pelas organizações. O CSC faz parte da cadeia de valor da organização e pode ser definido como a concentração e compartilhamento das atividades de apoio na estrutura organizacional. O objetivo deste trabalho é discutir as motivações e riscos associados a um CSC, as estruturas organizacionais e modelos existentes de CSC na literatura e verificar no estudo de caso analisado o tipo escolhido, com as vantagens e desvantagens apontadas. Para tanto, realizou-se uma pesquisa bibliográfica, o estudo de caso com pesquisa documental, observação participante, entrevistas semiestruturadas, e a triangulação dos dados do estudo de caso com a literatura existente. No caso analisado, dentre os ganhos identificados após a implementação do CSC, estão: redução de custos; agilidade na prestação do serviço; otimização dos processos; padronização e conformidade das atividades. Já em termos de tipos/ modelos de CSC, a empresa A optou por um CSC do tipo intraorganizacional, back office e básico, e o modelo hierárquico baseado em departamento, sendo este vinculado à Gerência de Administração. Essa vinculação gerou problemas relacionados a autonomia que é um dos atributos de um CSC.

A participação da sociedade e do Estado na proteção ambiental deixou de ser uma inciativa de algumas sociedades ditas ‘mais sustentáveis’ para ser uma necessidade mundial como parte das ações para conter os avanços da depredação e degradação ambiental. No Brasil, uma dessas ações é o ICMS ecológico, sendo o estado do Paraná o pioneiro em sua implementação legal, em que dos 25% referente a arrecadação do ICMS que os municípios têm direito garantido pela Constituição Federal, 5% vão para a função ambiental. Trata-se de um incentivo financeiro de compensação fiscal para os municípios que possuem áreas de conservação e mananciais de abastecimento. O presente trabalho tem como objetivo analisar as áreas de reserva ambiental do município de Laranjeiras do Sul- P.R. e verificar se possui os atributos exigidos para receber o ICMS Ecológico. Para tanto, é utilizada a triangulação de métodos, através de análise documental, entrevista semiestruturada e registros fotográficos das áreas de reserva do município. Observou-se que o município investigado possui três áreas que juntas somam aproximadamente 22 ha em áreas de reserva ambiental, o que, de acordo com a Lei n 59/91 confere ao município o direito de se candidatar no rateio do ICMS Ecológico, desde que o mesmo implemente Lei específica para o ICMS Ecológico.

Introduction. The paper describes the results of a model experiment to test the performance of a special technical device for descending children from the height of the rope Park route, the theoretical model of which was previously proposed by the authors. Taking into account the results of the experiment and using the theory of solving inventive tasks, a model of a new trigger device was developed and tested. Goals and objectives. The main purpose of the study is to check the functioning of the trigger device with previously defined required parameters, including an assessment of the performance of the brake mechanism, checking the required descent speed, as well as a preliminary assessment of the reliability of a special technical device. Methods. The research used well-known scientific methods: analysis, synthesis, field experiment, theory of inventive problem solving, graph theory. Results and discussion. The results of the study showed that the previously proposed device can be used for timely evacuation of children, but it requires design improvements to increase its versatility - to ensure that it can be used for lowering children weighing from 15 to 40 kg. Tests of the new model of the device have shown its effectiveness and the possibility of using it for descending children of various weights at the required safe speed. At the same time, all the nodal parts of the device function coherently, and no malfunctions were detected either during or after the experiment. Conclusion. It was found as a result of the study that the development of a trigger device based on a new model is a promising task with a guaranteed positive result. Using the theory of solving inventive tasks allows us to increase the efficiency of creative activity and minimize the cost of finding the "right" solution.

Probabilistic model of branched-chain combustion of saturated hydrocarbons in a closed volume of gas compressor stations
Authors:   Academy of State Fire Service of EMERCOM of Russia, Khalikov R. V. 
Published: December 2021

Introduction. The article analyzes the role of thermal and chain combustion in a fire in a closed volume of gas compressor stations. The mechanism of the branched-chain combustion of saturated hydrocarbons in the gas phase has been determined. The analysis of existing models of combustion of saturated hydrocarbons is carried out. Probabilistic model of branched-chain combustion of saturated hydrocarbons in a closed volume of gas compressor stations based on the energy characteristics of the chain carriers in the branched-chain combustion process has been compiled. The purpose of the study is to establish a model of qualitative relationship between the kinetic mechanisms of the branched-chain combustion process of saturated hydrocarbons and the chain carriers involved in it (atoms and radicals) in the closed volume of gas compressor stations. Research methods. To obtain the results the general scientific and special methods of scientific knowledge - the analysis, synthesis, theory of branched-chain combustion process, thermal theory of combustion, theory of energy Boltzmann distribution, were used. The results of the study. The analysis of the main mechanisms of the kinetics of the chemical reaction of combustion in a closed volume of gas compressor stations was carried out. A qualitative model of the relationship between the kinetic mechanisms of the branched-chain combustion process of saturated hydrocarbons and the chain carriers involved in it (atoms and radicals) in the closed volume of gas compressor stations is established. Conclusion. The obtained probabilistic model allows us to calculate the probability of the occurrence of branched-chain combustion of saturated hydrocarbons within the closed volumes of gas compressor stations for different reaction chains. It allows us to choose the most effective control of chemical reactions of combustion under these conditions, that is, to define how to perform volumetric extinguishing most effectively. The found model does not contradict existing models, and the results obtained are confirmed by empirical data.
