Published: September 2021

Aims
To quantitatively investigate the impact of left atrial geometric remodeling on atrial fibrillation recurrence after catheter ablation.

Methods
A retrospective analysis of 105 patients with atrial fibrillation who underwent coronary computed tomographic angiography before catheter ablation. Risk factors for atrial fibrillation recurrence were identified by multivariable logistic regression analysis and used to create a nomogram.

Results
After at least 12 months of follow-up, 30 patients (29%) developed recurrent atrial fibrillation. Patients with recurrence had higher left atrial volume, left atrial sphericity, and lower left atrial ejection fraction (LAEF) (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in asymmetry index between the two groups (P = 0.121). Multivariable regression analysis showed that left atrial minimal volume index (LAVImin) [odds ratio (OR): 1.026, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.002–1.050, P = 0.034], left atrial sphericity (OR: 1.222, 95% CI: 1.040–1.435, P = 0.015) and CHADS2 score (OR: 1.511, 95% CI: 1.024–2.229, P = 0.038) were independent predictors of atrial fibrillation recurrence. The combined model of the left atrial sphericity to the LAVImin substantially increased the predictive power for atrial fibrillation recurrence [area under the curve (AUC) = 0.736, 95% CI: 0.627–0.844, P < 0.001], with a sensitivity of 80% and a specificity of 61%. A nomogram was generated based on the contribution weights of the risk factors; the AUC was 0.772 (95% CI: 0.670–0.875) and had good internal validity.

Conclusion
The CHADS2 score, left atrial sphericity, and LAVImin were significant and independent predictors of atrial fibrillation recurrence after catheter ablation. Furthermore, the nomogram had a better predictive capacity for atrial fibrillation recurrence.
Phänomenologischer Realismus. Voluntative und intentionalistische Realitätsbegründung bei Scheler und Husserl
Authors: Schwind Peter 
Published: September 2021

Abstract
In this text I argue that a phenomenological conception of reality cannot simply consider ‚reality’ to be a feature of the objects of our experience, nor can ‚reality’ be understood as a somehow subconscious experience of resistance, as Max Schelers notion of a „primary resistance“ tries to show. In opposition to these insufficient conceptions I suggest – following some husserlian inspirations – that the notion of ‚reality’ is to be understood as a elementary feature of our experience of objects – not of the objects of our experience. Is this perspective accepted, a minimal ‚realism’ appears as a presupposition of the concept of intentionality.
Gestalt as a Determinant of Brand Management – A Sociological Perspective on Branding in German-Speaking Discourse
Authors: Errichiello Oliver 
Published: September 2021

Abstract
For almost 40 years, a specific form of brand management with scientific and practical resonance has been evolving in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland – along with a multitude of microeconomic schools and authors. This form of brand management goes by the term “Brand Sociology” and sees the brand as a Gestalt system of alliances. Brand Sociology fills a gap in the classical economic approach and makes it possible to understand the central target variables of brand management as social dynamics and to direct them in a targeted manner. The following article traces for the first time the foundations and history of a Gestalt sociological approach to brand research and relates its contribution in the field of interplay between Gestalt research, sociology, and identity-based brand economics.

Climate Change and Ecocide in Sierra Leone: Representations in Aminatta Forna’s Ancestor Stones and The Memory of Love
Authors: Das Shruti , Routray Deepshikha 
Published: September 2021

War has been instrumental in destroying land and forests and thus is a major contributor to climate change. Degradation due to war has been especially significant in Africa. The African continent, once green, is now almost denuded of its rich forests and pillaged of its precious natural resources due to the brutality of colonisation and more recent postcolonial civil wars. In Sierra Leone the civil war continued for over eleven years from 1991 to 2002 and wrought havoc on the land and forests. Thus the anxiety and trauma suffered by the people not only includes the more visible aspects of human brutality, but also the long lasting effects of ecocide which relate to climate change. Underlying narratives that address traumatic ecological disasters is a sense of anxiety and depression resulting from the existential threat of climate change. This paper demonstrates how narratives can metaphorically represent both ecocide and climate change and argues that such stories help people in tackling the real life stresses of anxiety and trauma. To establish the argument this paper has drawn on scientific and sociological data and placed these vis-à-vis narrative episodes in Aminatta Forna’s novels Ancestor Stones (2006) and The Memory of Love (2010). In these novels Forna depicts the ecological crisis that colonisation and civil war have wrought on Sierra Leone. The anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder – of war and ecocide – suffered by the fictional Sierra Leonean characters are explained through Cathy Caruth’s trauma theory.
Vascular Effects of Pseudoxanthoma Elasticum
Authors: Hubbard Erika , Lebwohl Mark 
Published: September 2021

Background: Pseudoxanthoma elasticum (PXE) is a rare hereditary disease caused by mutations in the ABCC6 gene, characterized by ectopic calcification of connective tissue throughout the body. Vascular conditions associated with PXE have been well-documented in the literature, but to our knowledge, analysis of the myriad of PXE case reports with associated vascular diseases in addition to larger cohort studies, has not been undertaken.
Objective: To review existing literature reporting peripheral vascular disease (PVD), cardiovascular disease (CVD), cerebrovascular disease (CeVD), hypertension, and carotid rete mirabile (CRM) in PXE patients as of June 2021.
Methods: A search of the PubMed database using the key words “pseudoxanthoma elasticum” and “vascular” was performed.
Results: A total of 345 cases of PVD, 97 cases of CVD, and 123 case of CeVD were reported. Additionally, 88 cases of hypertension and 5 cases of CRM were reported.
Conclusions: PXE patients are at risk of developing serious vascular conditions, particularly peripheral vascular disease. This condition also appears to have some connection to carotid rete mirabile, which is extremely rare in humans. Further research should be conducted to analyze the connection between PXE and CRM in order to better understand and treat both conditions.

Spotlight influenza: Estimation of influenza vaccine effectiveness in elderly people with assessment of residual confounding by negative control outcomes, Finland, 2012/13 to 2019/20
Authors: Baum Ulrike , Kulathinal Sangita , Auranen Kari 
Published: September 2021

Background
Cohort studies on vaccine effectiveness are prone to confounding bias if the distribution of risk factors is unbalanced between vaccinated and unvaccinated study subjects.

Aim
We aimed to estimate influenza vaccine effectiveness in the elderly population in Finland by controlling for a sufficient set of confounders based on routinely available register data.

Methods
For each of the eight consecutive influenza seasons from 2012/13 through 2019/20, we conducted a cohort study comparing the hazards of laboratory-confirmed influenza in vaccinated and unvaccinated people aged 65–100 years using individual-level medical and demographic data. Vaccine effectiveness was estimated as 1 minus the hazard ratio adjusted for the confounders age, sex, vaccination history, nights hospitalised in the past and presence of underlying chronic conditions. To assess the adequacy of the selected set of confounders, we estimated hazard ratios of off-season hospitalisation for acute respiratory infection as a negative control outcome.

Results
Each analysed cohort comprised around 1 million subjects, of whom 37% to 49% were vaccinated. Vaccine effectiveness against laboratory-confirmed influenza ranged from 16% (95% confidence interval (CI): 12–19) to 48% (95% CI: 41–54). More than 80% of the laboratory-confirmed cases were hospitalised. The adjusted off-season hazard ratio estimates varied between 1.00 (95% CI: 0.94–1.05) and 1.08 (95% CI: 1.01–1.15), indicating that residual confounding was absent or negligible.

Conclusion
Seasonal influenza vaccination reduces the hazard of severe influenza disease in vaccinated elderly people. Data about age, sex, vaccination history and utilisation of hospital care proved sufficient to control confounding.

Umma Application: Digital Da'wah and the Young Generation in the Era of Disruption
Authors: Hopizal Hopizal , Fahrurrazi Fahrurrazi 
Published: September 2021

Da'wah is not only done through social media such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and YouTube. However, preaching is done through free applications that are familiar today. This article tries to specifically examine the Umma Application as a medium for da'wah for young people who are developing significantly. The purpose of this article is to understand and dig deeper into the dakwah process carried out by young figures by uploading da'wah content from religious figures such as Ustad Abdul Somad, Ust Adi Hidayat, Aa Gym, and other figures in the umma application. The method used by researchers in this article is a descriptive qualitative method with the Teun A Van Dijk model of discourse analysis technique, to analyze the religious content it conveys. The results of this study indicate that digital da'wah has a great influence on people's attitudes, perspectives, and behavior with an audio-visual da'wah model. Umma is a da'wah application that has a large enough user among young people creating a new virtual space to access knowledge. Da'wah through the umma application certainly has a major influence on the behavior, attitudes, and points of view of young people when watching videos and reading the uploaded images as a process of proselytizing in the umma application.
Choroidal artery ischemic events after temporal lobe epilepsy surgery: clinical outcome, quality of life, and surgical pitfalls
Authors: Delev Daniel , Hakvoort Karlijn , Krüger Marie Therese , Blume Christian , Clusmann Hans , Neuloh Georg 
Published: September 2021

OBJECTIVE
Ischemic events within the territory of the choroidal artery are an important cause of morbidity after temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) surgery. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the rate of these ischemic events, their clinical presentation, and impact on patients’ health-related quality of life (HRQoL) after TLE surgery.

METHODS
Four hundred twenty-two consecutive patients undergoing temporal resections for drug-resistant TLE were retrospectively analyzed. All patients underwent presurgical multidisciplinary assessment using a standard protocol comprising clinical, neuroradiological, neuropsychological, and EEG data. Postoperative complications with corresponding imaging, neurological deficits, and disease-specific HRQoL questionnaires were evaluated.

RESULTS
The overall complication rate was 7.8% (n = 33). Fourteen patients (3.3%) suffered from ischemic events causing 6 permanent motor deficits, 3 with permanent aphasias, and 6 visual field defects that exceeded quadrantanopia. In 8 patients with anterior choroidal artery infarction, accounting for 57% of all ischemic events, infarction volume correlated positively with the occurrence of new permanent neurological deficits (8666 vs 1692 mm3, p = 0.032). Despite the occurrence of ischemic events, HRQoL improved in 71% of patients. However, infarction volume showed a negative correlation trend with HRQoL (Pearson’s r = −0.390, p = 0.094). There was a trend toward increased risk for ischemic events in patients who underwent selective amygdalohippocampectomy compared to patients who underwent anterior temporal lobectomy or temporal lesionectomy (RR 0.96, 95% CI 0.93–0.99, p = 0.08).

CONCLUSIONS
Choroidal artery infarctions are rare but relevant complications after TLE surgery, presenting with variable clinical courses ranging from devastating neurological deterioration to complete recovery. Despite the occurrence of postoperative infarction, most patients report improvement of HRQoL after TLE surgery. This study showed that the type of surgery appears to modulate the risk for these ischemic events.
More than 25 years after selective dorsal rhizotomy: physical status, quality of life, and levels of anxiety and depression in adults with cerebral palsy
Authors: Veerbeek Berendina E. , Lamberts Robert P. , Kosel Elisa , Fieggen A. Graham , Langerak Nelleke G. 
Published: September 2021

OBJECTIVE
The primary purpose of selective dorsal rhizotomy (SDR) is to ameliorate spasticity in the lower extremities of children with cerebral palsy (CP). In correctly selected patients, this neurosurgical procedure has been shown to have a beneficial effect on many aspects of the child’s life. However, given the challenges faced by adults with CP, it would be valuable to document the status of this population compared to their peers later in adulthood. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine the physical status, mental health, and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of adults with CP who underwent SDR at least 25 years ago, compared to matched typically developing (TD) individuals. The second aim was to investigate relationships between physical status and the other outcome measures.

METHODS
Adults with CP were recruited from a database of children who had undergone SDR performed using the technique introduced by Professor Warwick Peacock at Red Cross War Memorial Children’s Hospital in Cape Town, South Africa, between 1981 and 1991. These individuals were matched for age, sex, body mass index, and socioeconomic status to a TD adult cohort from a similar background. The parameters assessed were lower-extremity muscle tone, passive range of motion, muscle strength, selectivity, functional mobility and dynamic balance (Timed Up and Go [TUG] test), HRQoL (SF-36), and anxiety and depression levels.

RESULTS
Twenty-six adults with CP who had a median age of 35.8 years (interquartile range 34.2–41.4 years) (female/male: n = 10/16; Gross Motor Function Classification System level I/II/III: n = 13/10/3), were compared to 26 TD adults. Muscle tone was similar, whereas passive range of motion, muscle strength, selectivity, TUG, and SF-36 physical functioning (concept and summary) scores differed between the cohorts. Other SF-36 parameters, anxiety levels, and depression levels were not different. Strong correlations were found between the muscle strength and TUG scores.

CONCLUSIONS
Normalized lower-extremity muscle tone was sustained 25–35 years after SDR. Whereas the lower scores for physical assessments are in line with findings in other CP populations, remarkably, relatively good mental health and HRQoL scores were reported in this CP group despite their physical limitations. The strong correlation between muscle strength and TUG suggests that strength training after SDR may have value in improving functional mobility and balance.
Główne rysy antropologii J. Ratzingera/Benedykta XVI
Authors: Grzywocz Łukasz 
Published: September 2021

Antropologia J. Ratzingera/Benedykta XVI jest ściśle teologiczna. Jej podstawy to teocentryzm, który jest chrystocentryczny. Całość jest osadzona w eklezjologii. Pytanie o to, kim jest człowiek i jak być człowiekiem, musi być skierowane do Boga. Jego odpowiedzią jest Jezus Chrystus. Jest ona (odpowiedź) słyszalna w Kościele. Ten, będąc Ciałem Chrystusa, jest przestrzenią obcowania Boga i człowieka. Tym samym jest Bożym narzędziem przemiany ludzkiego bytu – wyzwolenia i spełnienia. Człowiek nie jest istotą niezależną. Pochodzi od Boga. Istnieje, ponieważ jest kochany. Bycie stworzonym na Boży obraz przesądza o relacyjnym – dialogicznym - charakterze jego bytu. Rysą na Bożym dziele jest skażenie grzechem. Pytając o to, kim jest, człowiek powinien zwrócić swój wzrok na doskonały Boży obraz – Jezusa (Boga i człowieka zarazem). Charakterystyczne są tutaj kategorie synostwa, dziecięctwa i proegzystencji. To wszystko jest dostępne poprzez wejście w egzystencje Syna Bożego. Dokonuje się to poprzez chrzest w Kościele. Tam może człowiek realizować swój relacyjny byt. Natomiast liturgia otwiera nam dostęp do naszego eschatologicznego przeznaczenia
