Published: July 2021

Purpose: To compare the efficacy and safety of robotic-assisted simple prostatectomy and open simple prostatectomy for large benign prostatic hyperplasia.Methods: We systematically searched the Cochrane Library, PubMed, Embase, and Science databases for studies published through December 2020. Controlled trials on RASP and OSP for large prostates were included. The meta-analysis was conducted with the Review Manager 5.4 software.Results: A total of seven studies with 3,777 patients were included in the analysis. There were no significant differences in IPSS (WMD, 0.72; 95%CI: −0.31, 1.76; P = 0.17), QoL (WMD, 0.00; 95%CI: −0.39, 0.39; P &gt; 0.99), Qmax (WMD, 1.88; 95% CI: −1.15, 4.91; P = 0.22), or PVR (WMD, −10.48; 95%CI: −25.13, 4.17; P = 0.16) among patients undergoing RASP and OSP. However, compared with patients who underwent OSP, patients who underwent RASP had a shorter LOS (WMD, −2.83; 95%CI: −3.68, −1.98; P &lt; 0.001), less EBL (WMD, −304.68; 95% CI: −432.91, −176.44; P &lt; 0.001), a shorter CT (WMD, −2.61; 95%CI: −3.94, −1.29; P &lt; 0.001), and fewer overall complications (OR, 0.30; 95% CI: 0.16, 0.57; P &lt; 0.001). Nevertheless, RASP was associated with a longer OT (WMD, 59.69, 95% CI: 49.40, 69.98; P &lt; 0.001).Conclusion: The results of the current study demonstrated that RASP provided similar efficacy to those of OSP in the treatment of large prostate, while maintaining better security. Our findings indicate that RASP is a feasible and effective alternative to OSP.
Restricted Kinematic Alignment, the Fundamentals, and Clinical Applications

Published: July 2021

Introduction:After a better understanding of normal knee anatomy and physiology, the Kinematic Alignment (KA) technique was introduced to improve clinical outcomes of total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The goal of the KA technique is to restore the pre-arthritic constitutional lower limb alignment of the patient. There is, however, a large range of normal knee anatomy. Unusual anatomies may be biomechanically inferior and affect TKA biomechanics and wear patterns. In 2011, the leading author proposed the restricted kinematic alignment (rKA) protocol, setting boundaries to KA for patients with an outlier or atypical knee anatomy.Material and Equipment:rKA aims to reproduce the constitutional knee anatomy of the patient within a safe range. Its fundamentals are based on sound comprehension of lower limb anatomy variation. There are five principles describing rKA: (1) Combined lower limb coronal orientation should be ± 3° of neutral; (2) Joint line orientation coronal alignment should be within ± 5° of neutral; (3) Natural knee's soft tissues tension/ laxities should be preserved/restored; (4) Femoral anatomy preservation is prioritized; (5) The unloaded/most intact knee compartment should be resurfaced and used as the pivot point when anatomical adjustment is required. An algorithm was developed to facilitate the decision-making.Methods:Since ~50% of patients will require anatomic modification to fit within rKA boundaries, rKA is ideally performed with patient-specific instrumentation (PSI), intra-operative computer navigation or robotic assistance. rKA surgical technique is presented in a stepwise manner, following the five principles in the algorithm.Results:rKA produced excellent mid-term clinical results in cemented or cementless TKA. Gait analysis showed that rKA TKA patients had gait patterns that were very close to a non-operated control group, and these kinematics differences translated into significantly better postoperative patient-reported scores than mechanical alignment (MA) TKA cases.Discussion:Aiming to improve the results of MA TKA, rKA protocol offers a satisfactory compromise that recreates patients' anatomy in most cases, omitting the need for extensive corrections and soft tissue releases that are often required with MA. Moreover, it precludes the reproduction of extreme anatomies seen with KA.

Published: July 2021

Background: One of the most frequent complications of spinal surgery is accidental dural tears (ADTs). Minimal access surgical techniques (MAST) have been described as a promising approach to minimizing such complications. ADTs have been studied extensively in connection with open spinal surgery, but there is less literature on minimally invasive spinal surgery (MISS).Materials and Methods: We reviewed 187 patients who had undergone degenerative lumbar spinal surgery using minimally invasive spinal fusions techniques. We analyzed the influence of age, Body Mass Index (BMI), smoking, diabetes, and previous surgery on the rate of ADTs in MISS.Results: Twenty-two patients (11.764%) suffered from an ADT. We recommended bed rest for two and a half to 5 days, depending on the type of repair required and the amount of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leakage. We could not find any statistically significant correlation between ADTs and age (p = 0.34,), BMI (p = 0.92), smoking (p = 0.46), and diabetes (p = 0.71). ADTs were significantly more frequent in cases of previous surgery (p &lt; 0.001). None of the patients developed a transcutaneous CSF leak or post-operative infection.Conclusions: The frequency of ADTs in MISS appears comparable to that encountered when using open surgical techniques. Additionally, MAST produces less dead space along the corridor to the spine. Such reduced dead space may not be enough for pseudomeningocele to occur, cerebrospinal fluid to accumulate, and fistula to form. MAST, therefore, provides a certain amount of protection.
Sentimento da dialética na experiência intelectual brasileira
Authors: Arantes Paulo Eduardo 
Published: July 2021

Quais os pressupostos de uma crítica literária verdadeiramente dialética? Esta a questão que Paulo Arantes busca responder neste livro, publicado em 1992, que analisa a obra de dois dos mais importantes críticos brasileiros: Antonio Candido e Roberto Schwarz. O interesse ultrapassa de muito o âmbito literário. O autor contextualiza o ensaísmo de ambos, discute as teorias explicativas da realidade brasileira que se desenvolviam paralelamente a ele e mostra como, em suas obras mais características, Antonio Candido e Roberto Schwarz atinaram com uma homologia estrutural entre a obra literária e a organização social cheia de consequências para o estuda da cultura de um país periférico. Como escreve o autor: “pela primeira vez a crítica da cultura, instruída pela revisão das implicações de uma sociedade dual, examinava no seu conjunto os efeitos artístico-ideológicos do desenvolvimento desigual e combinado do capitalismo”.
Bento Prado Jr., em resenha, publicada aqui como posfácio, afirma que “com Sentimento da Dialética, de Paulo Arantes, não ganhamos apenas um grande acerto na reflexão sobre a historiografia literária no Brasil. Muito mais do que isso (que não é pouco) é a própria filosofia brasileira que sai dos limites estreitos de seus seminários mais ou menos ‘técnicos’ (pois ignora-se, normalmente, que a essência das ‘técnicas’ filosóficas jamais é, ela própria, técnica), para mergulhar na ‘experiência’ e no próprio Brasil”.

The Neo-Enlightenment Aesthetics of Jürgen Habermas
Authors: Fiori Arantes Otília Beatriz , Arantes Paulo Eduardo 
Published: July 2021

This essay was prepared especially for the issue 49 of Cultural Critique (2001) as an extract of the argument presented in Otília and Paulo Arantes’ book Um Ponto Cego no Projeto Moderno de Jürgen Habermas (A blind spot in Jürgen Habermas’ Modern Project, 1992) (which remain untranslated into English). While Habermas has seldom addressed the question of aesthetic directly, here the authors reconstruct why architecture becomes the aesthetic side of predilection for him. What the authors call a “neo-Enlightenment aesthetics” in Habermas involves a reconfiguration of the judgement of taste, as conceived in the Enlightenment, but now projected through the lens of communicative action where the rules of engagement have left the spectacle behind. A Kantian aesthetic with airs of Benjamin and Brecht, they contend, became the ingredients which Habermas tried to get beyond the impasse that Peter Bürger had already pointed out with regard to idealist aesthetics, namely how the process of the autonomization of art is simultaneously a process both of its consolidation and its eventual demise. How then to talk about aesthetics after Avant-Garde? For Habermas, architecture becomes a place of encounter for his own ideas about the public sphere, rational engagement, and aesthetic engagement.
The Arantes, however, contest Habermas’ abstract defense of Modern Architecture by showing how, in the word and specially in Brazil, each phase of its development is intimately tied to specific moments in capitalism development. They follow in Adorno’s footsteps in arguing that the site of Modern Architecture in Brazil is a cipher of glass and concrete that evinces the silence of the spellbound rather than the emergence of a public genre with enlightenment functions.

Mário Pedrosa
Authors: Fiori Arantes Otília Beatriz 
Published: July 2021

Neste livro, Otília reconstitui as grandes linhas de uma trajetória, nada linear, de um dos maiores críticos de arte do Brasil e que acompanhou de perto, ao longo de quase todo o século XX, as idas e vindas da arte internacional. Mário Pedrosa, sem nunca abandonar a militância política, jamais dissociará revolução social e arte a mais avançada, ou arte independente – o que nem sempre interpretou da mesma maneira. Ou seja, apesar de suas reticências iniciais em relação àquela arte moderna que na conferência de 1933, sobre Käthe Kollwitz, identificava como “um jogo pueril de formas”, aos poucos, como político e como revolucionário, foi se dando conta do quanto a luta pela libertação da humanidade passa pela preservação e ampliação daquele mínimo de iniciativa de que ela pode dispor na sociedade capitalista e, portanto, a olhar com outros olhos a arte burguesa e a tentar adivinhar aí a convergência, embora incipiente, entre uma arte que chamou de hermética, confinada na aparência estética, e aquela que ia buscar sua inspiração na “dramática fermentação” da sociedade. Em seu retorno do exílio, em 1945, embora já afastado do trotskismo, mantinha-se fiel à máxima do Manifesto por uma arte independente – “A independência da arte para a revolução e a revolução para a independência da arte” –, encetando uma batalha sem trégua para que o Brasil saísse do isolamento e se alinhasse à arte mais avançada da época. Não há dúvida que esbarrava nos impasses característicos de um país periférico, onde falar de independência artística é algo no mínimo problemático, mas o sopro de ar novo que trouxe obrigou nossos artistas e críticos a porem em discussão o rumo que a arte, em nítido refluxo em relação às conquistas vanguardistas, ia tomando entre nós. Em defesa da arte abstrata, alegava estar ela elaborando os símbolos de uma linguagem plástica inédita, destinada a nos arrancar da atonia perceptiva quotidiana, na esperança de encurtar a distância que nos separa dos “horizontes longínquos da utopia”. O ápice de uma tal empreitada seria Brasília – a grande síntese anunciada pelas vanguardas e reativada pelo projeto construtivo abstrato – cujo feito não apenas registraria, mas defenderia ardorosamente, tendo inclusive promovido um encontro internacional de críticos de arte, em 1959, sob o título “Brasília, síntese das artes”.
Originalmente publicado em 1991, por ocasião dos 10 anos de morte de Mário Pedrosa, republicado em 2004, foi acrescentado o texto “Atualidade de Mário Pedrosa”, escrito por ocasião de seu centenário, situando-o na grande linhagem crítica brasileira. Mantivemos aqui integralmente esta última edição.

Depois de junho a paz será total
Authors: Arantes Paulo Eduardo 
Published: July 2021

Depois de junho a paz será total é o título irônico do tour de force que encerra a nossa viagem e que procura dar conta do vínculo entre pacificação e insurgência. Pulverizando os clichês propagados à direita e à esquerda – “baderna” de rua protagonizada por vândalos a serem devidamente dedetizados pelas forças da ordem, ou esquerdismo infantil de uma juventude desorganizada, sem direção e que, portanto, dará em nada –, Paulo Arantes vai rastreando, na literatura recente sobre as classes populares urbanas no Brasil e em publicações de protagonistas dos eventos, ideias que lhe permitam construir hipóteses sobre a genealogia dos acontecimentos de junho de 2013. Dessa maneira, leva a cabo a interpretação mais original desses eventos realizada até agora. Se pusermos na panela de pressão brasileira os seguintes ingredientes, quase todos indigestos: o Programa de Pacificação das Favelas no Rio de Janeiro com suas UPPs, na verdade uma estratégia de guerra; a violência policial contra os moradores das periferias urbanas; as remoções forçadas exigidas pelos megaeventos; as políticas públicas que, ao incitar o empreendedorismo dos pobres, se, por um lado, canalizam sua energia para uma atividade governável, por outro, criam um sedimento reivindicativo à espreita para explodir; as lutas pela cidade, levadas a cabo por uma geração de “cidadãos insurgentes” exigindo a democratização do solo urbano; a “agonia do trabalho descartável, mostrando que o capitalismo como religião em sua forma contemporânea tornou-se um espantoso e interminável ‘ritual de sofrimento’”; as revoltas populares pelo transporte público; a síndrome da participação cidadã sem poder, etc. – todos temas analisados pelo Autor –, desconfiamos que esse conjunto de fenômenos faz sistema e explica, quem sabe, a “nova insurgência profanatória” que explodiu nas ruas em junho. (...) Encarar esse estado de coisas e dar um passo adiante é a tarefa da nova geração, que abriu uma porta em junho de 2013.

Представлены процедуры выполнения одних из основных функций централизованного управления учебным имитатором сети передачи данных категории специального назначения: маршрутизации, информационной безопасности и управления неисправностями. Процедуры рассматриваются на примере конфигурации имитатора сети, представляющей собой часть сети передачи данных специального назначения страны (нижний уровень, зоновые сети). Показана возможность упростить решение задачи управления имитатором зоновой сети передачи данных категории специального назначения в сравнении с управлением сетями связи с помощью TMN и управлением виртуальной частной маршрутизируемой сетью ( VPRN) благодаря использованию принудительной маршрутизации («от источника»). Результаты работы планируется использовать для решения задачи управления имитатором сети, представляющей собой полную конфигурацию всей сети передачи данных страны, частью которой являются зоновые сети.
The procedures for performing the main functions of centralized control of a training simulator of a special-purpose data transmission network (routing, information security, and fault management) are proposed. The procedures are discussed using an example of the configuration of a network simulator representing part of a country's special-purpose data network (lower level, zonal networks). It is shown that it is possible to simplify the solution of the complex task of managing a special-purpose data transmission network simulator in comparison with the management of communication networks using Telecommunication Management Network (TMN) and management of virtual private routed network, using forced routing “from the source”. The results of this work will be used to solve the problem of managing a network simulator, which is a complete configuration of the entire data network of a country.

SCONE: Supernova Classification with a Convolutional Neural Network
Authors: Qu Helen , Sako Masao , Möller Anais , Doux Cyrille 
Published: July 2021

Abstract
We present a novel method of classifying Type Ia supernovae using convolutional neural networks, a neural network framework typically used for image recognition. Our model is trained on photometric information only, eliminating the need for accurate redshift data. Photometric data is preprocessed via 2D Gaussian process regression into two-dimensional images created from flux values at each location in wavelength-time space. These “flux heatmaps” of each supernova detection, along with “uncertainty heatmaps” of the Gaussian process uncertainty, constitute the data set for our model. This preprocessing step not only smooths over irregular sampling rates between filters but also allows SCONE to be independent of the filter set on which it was trained. Our model has achieved impressive performance without redshift on the in-distribution SNIa classification problem: 99.73 ± 0.26% test accuracy with no over/underfitting on a subset of supernovae from PLAsTiCC’s unblinded test data set. We have also achieved 98.18 ± 0.3% test accuracy performing six-way classification of supernovae by type. The out-of-distribution performance does not fully match the in-distribution results, suggesting that the detailed characteristics of the training sample in comparison to the test sample have a big impact on the performance. We discuss the implication and directions for future work. All of the data processing and model code developed for this paper can be found in the SCONE software package located at github.com/helenqu/scone.
