Abstract
In spite of recent significant advances in reduction of mortality and disability, coronary heart disease (CHD) remains widespread both in Russia and around the world. Coronary bypass graft surgery (CABG) has proved to be the most effective method of CHD treatment, providing that conservative therapy is not effective enough. The aim of the present study was to reveal and correct postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD), developed under the conditions of cardiopulmonary bypass (CB) in patients with CHD within 12 months after CABG.
A total of 87 patients were examined, all the patients underwent a course of drug therapy, 50 patients underwent a course of rehabilitation using computer-based stimulation programmes (once per day for 20 minutes within 10 days) in addition to medical therapy. A reliable improvement in results of the conducted research suggests that the proposed method provides safety and high performance in cognitive rehabilitation of patients with impairments of the higher brain functions after CABG. A relatively short course of rehabilitation (10 days) corresponded to the length of hospital stay of patients in the cardiac unit. However, even in such a short course we could obtain significant advantage in terms of efficiency of higher cortical functions recovery. Therefore, a course of rehabilitation using computer-based stimulation programmes in patients with coronary heart disease after CABG was proved to be an effective way of correcting cognitive function.
Re-Inventing African Literature through Visual Arts
Authors: Fọlárànmí Stephen , Ijisakin Eyitayo Tolulope 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
Evidence abounds of the synergy that exists between literature and visual arts in Africa. Illustrations are known to have given more meaning to books, while the text plays the role of the storyteller, the illustration acts out the story or scene on the pages of the book. Illustrations also make readership very easy and appealing to children and the uneducated people in our local communities. In recent times however, studies have shown a sharp decline in the inclusion of very good, insightful and inspiring illustrations into African literary text. When included, it is often poor and limited to the cover page of the book. This paper examines the merits derivable from the inclusion of visual arts into African literature as well as the reason for its decline with a view to suggesting how it can be used to reinvent African literature. It is expected that by so doing, publishers and authors will see the need and importance of using more illustrations in their books. This will, in turn, generate more interest in the culture of reading among the youths of the 21st century as well as the development of literature directed towards children and the unread.
A Comparison of Helicopter Main Rotor Features Due to Stiffness of Rotor Blade-Hub Connection
Authors: Stanisławski Jarosław 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
The paper presents results of simulation calculations concerning an influence of stiffness of blade-hub connection on rotor loads and blades deflections in hover, level flight and pull up maneuver. The three versions of rotor are considered with articulated, elastic and stiff connections of blades and hub. The blades with the same distributions of stiffness, mass and the same aerodynamic characteristics are applied for all rotor cases. The rotor loads are calculated applying Runge-Kutta method to solve the equations of motion of deformable blades. According to the Galerkin method, the parameters of blades motion are treated as combination of considered blade bending and torsion eigen modes. The results of calculations indicate for possibility to generate the greater rotor control moments and to improve helicopter maneuverability in the case of applying the non-changed blade of articulated rotor combined with elastic rotor hub.
Quantitative Visualisation of Compressible Flows
Authors: Stryczniewicz Wit 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
The paper demonstrates the feasibility of quantitative flow visualisation methods for investigation of transonic and supersonic flows. Two methods and their application for retrieving compressible flow field properties has been described: Background Oriented Schlieren (BOS) and Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV). Recently introduced BOS technique extends the capabilities of classical Schlieren technique by use of digital image processing and allow to measure density gradients field. In the presented paper a review of applications of BOS technique has been presented. The PIV is well established technique for whole field velocity measurements. This paper presents application of PIV for determination of the shock wave position above airfoil in transonic flow regime. The study showed that application of quantitative flow visualisation techniques allows to gain new insights on the complex phenomenon of supersonic and transonic flow over airfoils like shock-boundary layer interaction and shock induced flow separation.
Implementation of Automatic Sample and Composite Element Cutting Technologies
Authors: Jaśkiewicz Robert 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
The article presents the methodology of introducing automatic carbon fiber panel cutting technologies at the Composite Testing Laboratory of the Institute of Aviation. It describes the process of implementing the new cutting technology which boosts the efficiency of preparing composite samples for strength testing, with the requirements applicable to edge smoothness and dimension tolerances taken into consideration. It also reviews the literature concerned with three most popular composite material cutting methods: laser cutting, abrasive water jet cutting and machining, presenting the strong and the weak points of each one of them. After selecting the machining technology relying on a disc, cutting tests have been performed. Cutting discs coated with diamond particles, and carbon fiber panels were used during the tests. The tests were performed with the use of the INFOTEC CNC machine, with an adapter enabling the installation of cutting discs with the maximum diameter of 150 mm.
Post-colonial Literary Texts as Reading Texts within Today’s Schools
Authors: Van Kempen Michiel 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
In the making of an edition of the first modern Dutch slavery novel, De stille plantage (1931) by Surinamese author Albert Helman, all kinds of questions arise. There are issues of postcolonial contextualization, historical commentary and the way a text gets its actual significance in high schools. All these issues have their own sensibility in the light of recent fierce debates on slavery and its impact on western societies. The editors do have to take into account more than ever before their own position and questions of ideological responsibility, apart from issues of didactical and pedagogical nature. The question is raised whether such a modern edition does not touch more upon ideological language critique than postcolonial contextualization.

Objective:The purpose of this research was to determine the frequency of incidental extraspinal findings in the thoracic spine on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).Materials and Methods:A total of 120 thoracic spine MRI patients were prospectively examined in the period extending from August 2018 to April 2019. Both 1.5 and 0.35 Tesla MRI systems (Toshiba and Siemens Medical system) were applied to investigate patients with suspected intervertebral disc abnormalities at three MRI diagnostic centers in Khartoum, Sudan.Results:Out of the 120 patients, incidental extraspinal findings were found in 16 patients (13.3%). Various incidental findings (IFs) were seen, including renal cysts, liver mass, thyroid goiter, and pleural effusion. Out of these IFs, 37.5% were considered clinically significant.Conclusions:Various IFs were identified during a routine thoracic spine MRI, and approximately one-third of them were clinically significant. Therefore, it is essential for the reporting radiologists to pay attention to extraspinal findings while reporting thoracic spine MRI to avoid missing clinically significant findings.

A szimbolikus jogalkotás a büntetőjogban
Authors: Skoda Gabriella 
Published: July 2019

A szimbolikus jogalkotás, azon belül pedig különösen a szimbolikus büntetőjog kérdéskörének tudományos mélységű feldolgozása csak szűkösen érhető tetten a hazai jogirodalomban. A fogalom ugyanakkor nem ismeretlen a hazai jogtudomány művelői körében, de semmiképpen sem mondhatjuk, hogy arra gyakran hivatkoznának, azt pedig még inkább nem, hogy egységes jelentéssel vagy tartalommal használnák a kifejezést. Jelen tanulmány első fejezetében kísérletet teszek egyféle fogalmi tisztázásra. Ennek során elsőként a német nyelvterületen már az 1980-as évek óta meglévő megközelítéseket próbálom lényegre törően bemutatni.
Az azt követő alfejezetben, még a fogalmi meghatározás témakörén belül, igyekszem a teljességre törekedve hivatkozni azokra a hazai tanulmányokra, melyekben a szerzők – legalább – említik a szimbolikus jogalkotás kifejezést. Annak bemutatására koncentrálok, hogy a „szimbolikus jogalkotás”, illetve azon belül hangsúlyozottan a „szimbolikus büntetőjog” kifejezés milyen összefüggésben merül fel, és annak az adott szerző milyen jelentéstartalmat tulajdonít, illetve hogy azt a jogalkotás kritikájaként, vagy ellenkező előjellel, pozitív értelemben, előremutató jogalkotási aktusként értelmezi-e.
A dolgozat második fejezetében megpróbálom bemutatni, hogy miért gondolom azt, hogy a büntetőjog egyrészt a maga teljességében, másrészt pedig egyes konkrét különös részi tényállásai kapcsán többféle megközelítésben is szimbolikus jogként értelmezhető. Rámutatok ezzel arra is, hogy a hivatkozott jogalkotási fejlemények milyen társadalmi-politikai légkörben, helyzetben következtek be, illetve a normák milyen feltételek között születtek meg. Szemléltetésként s egyben az elemzésben tett megállapítások alátámasztására aktuális és részletes statisztikai adatokat hozok fel.

<p>Indonesia adalah negara hukum (<em>rechtsstaat</em>), oleh karena itu hukum nasional harus berdaulat dan menjadi panglima dalam menyelesaiaikan seluruh permasalahan bangsa. Akan tetapi penyelesaian perselisihan antara negara dengan warga negara asing mengenai penanaman modal dalam hegemoni hukum arbitrase internasinal, dimana pemerintah menyerahkan mekanismenya kepada <em>International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputte</em> (ICSID). Fokus permasalahan makalah ini adalah Bagaimanakah keuntungan dan kerugian pemerintah Indonesia dalam penyelesian perselisihan antara negara dengan warganegara asing mengenai penanaman modal melalui ICSID? Bagaimanakah konsep penyelesian perselisihan antara negara dengan warga negara asing mengenai penanaman modal dalam sistem hukum nasional berbasis Pancasila. Metode yang digunakan dalam makalah ini adalah Analisa kualitatif dengan menggunakan paradigma postpositivisme (Guba &amp; Lincoln) yang disinergikan dengan pendekatan sosiolegal. Penulisan makalah ini mengungkapkan Hukum nasional merupakan hukum yang dibangun oleh bangsa Indonesia sendiri berdasarkan nilai ketuhanan, nilai kemanusiaan dan nilai kemasyarakatan yang merupakan nilai agung Pancasila sebagai pandangan hidup bangsa Indonesia guna mewujudkan tujuan negara. Indonesia mengalami kerugian sangat besar ketika penyelesaian perselisihan antara negara dengan warganegara asing mengenai penanaman modal diserahkan kepada ICSID, Oleh karena itu, perselisihan penanaman modal sebaiknya diselesaikan oleh badan arbitrase ASEAN.</p><p>Indonesia is a state of law (rechtsstaat), therefore the national law must be sovereign and be the commander in solving all the problems of the nation. However, the settlement of disputes between the state and foreign citizens concerning investment in the hegemony of the international arbitration law, in which the government submits its mechanism to the International Center for Settlements of Investment Disputes (ICSID). The focus of this paper issue is how are the gains and losses of the Indonesian government in settling disputes between the state and foreign citizens on investment through ICSID? What is the concept of dispute settlement between state and foreign citizen regarding investment in national legal system based on Pancasila? The method used in this paper is qualitative analysis using postpositivism paradigm (Guba &amp; Lincoln) synergized with sociolegal approach. The writing of this paper reveals the national law is a law that was built by the Indonesian people themselves based on the value of divinity, humanitarian values and community values which is the great value of Pancasila as a view of life of the Indonesian nation in order to realize the purpose of the state. Indonesia suffers enormous losses when the settlement of disputes between the state and foreign citizens concerning investment is left to ICSID. Therefore, investment disputes should be resolved by the ASEAN arbitration body.</p><pre> </pre>

Published: July 2019

Debido a la importancia de una alternativa en decoloración de aguas residuales provenientes de la industria de alimentos, se reporta la remoción del colorante tartrazina, utilizando nanopartículas de hierro cerovalentes. Las nanopartículas se prepararon por reducción química de cloruro férrico con borohidruro de sodio en medio inerte. Para evaluar la remoción, se emplearon concentraciones de 25, 50 100, 150 y 200 mg/L de nanopartículas, con tiempos de contacto en agua de 10, 20 y 30 minutos a pH de 3, 5, 7, 9 y 11. Las nanopartículas obtenidas se caracterizaron por Microscopía Electrónica de Barrido (SEM, por sus siglas en inglés) y Espectrómetro de Dispersión de Rayos X (EDX, por sus siglas en inglés). Como resultados se obtuvieron nanopartículas de 53,3 y 92,1 nm aproximadamente. Se verificó la remoción de los colorantes en agua por Espectrofotometría UV-Vis e Infrarrojos con Transformada de Fourier (FT-IR). Los parámetros óptimos para la remoción de tartrazina, se lograron empleando 200 mg/L de nanopartículas, 30 minutos de agitación y pH 3 con una eficiencia del 83,3 %. Se logró una adsorción de tartrazina de hasta 301 mmol/100g (1659 mg/g). Se concluye que el uso de nanopartículas de hierro cerovalentes, es adecuado para la remoción del colorante tartrazina en agua.
Mortality rates among individuals diagnosed with hepatitis C virus (HCV); an observational cohort study, England, 2008 to 2016
Authors: Ireland Georgina , Mandal Sema , Hickman Matthew , Ramsay Mary , Harris Ross , Simmons Ruth 
Published: July 2019

Background
Monitoring trends in mortality for individuals diagnosed with hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection are important as we expand treatment and move towards World Health Organization elimination targets.

Aim
To estimate mortality rates for individuals aged ≥ 15 years diagnosed with HCV infection in England 2008–16.

Methods
An observational cohort study whereby death certificate information was linked to the Sentinel Surveillance of Blood Borne Virus Testing in England. Age-sex standardised mortality rates (ASMR) for individuals diagnosed with HCV infection (2008–16) were calculated and compared to the general population.

Results
Of 43,895 individuals with HCV infection, 2,656 (6.3%) died. All-cause ASMRs were 2,834.2 per 100,000 person years (PY), 2.3 times higher than in the general population. In individuals aged 30–69 years, all-cause mortality rates were 1,768.9 per 100,000 PY among individuals with HCV, 4.7 times higher than in the general population. ASMRs had not decreased between 2010 (2,992) and 2016 (2,340; p=0.10), with no change from 2014 (p = 0.058). ASMRs were 441.0 times higher for hepatitis, 34.4 times higher for liver cancer, 8.1 times higher for end stage liver disease and 6.4 times higher for external causes than in the general population.

Conclusions
Mortality was higher in individuals with diagnosed HCV infection compared to the general population, highlighting health inequalities. There is a need to improve HCV diagnosis, engagement in care and treatment rates. The high mortality from external causes highlights the importance of integrated health and social care strategies and addressing the needs of this vulnerable population.
¿Se está construyendo paz ambiental territorial con los pueblos ancestrales de Puerto Nariño, Amazonas-Colombia?
Authors: Molina Orjuela Douglas Eduardo , Rojas Alexander 
Published: July 2019

El objetivo del artículo es analizar los alcances de la ecología social y el buen vivir en la construcción de la paz ambiental territorial en los pueblos ancestrales de Puerto Nariño, Amazonas - Colombia, específicamente en la Asociación Ticoya. El concepto sumak kawsay ‘vivir bien’ determina a la naturaleza como principio de todo bienestar, en contraposición al “vivir bien” definido y criticado por Alberto Costa, quien lo ubica dentro de una concepción de progreso marcado por la generación de poder y riqueza intuido desde un modelo de desarrollo proveniente de occidente.
Paralelamente, se identifica la categoría de ecología social de cara a los movimientos sociales, en especial los de la triple frontera amazónica, específicamente de la Asociación Ticoya. La simbiosis entre ecología social, paz ambiental territorial y buen vivir, se aborda desde una perspectiva transdisciplinar y desemboca en un análisis integral de la protección del ambiente y la supervivencia humana que supera los riesgos derivados del "desarrollo" (González Cuenca, Molina-Orjuela & Montes Ramírez, 2018).
Contra las elecciones. Cómo salvar la democracia
Authors: Pérez-Verduzco Germán 
Published: July 2019

El presente escrito constituye una reseña de la obra “Contra las elecciones. Cómo salvar la democracia”, del historiador cultural belga David Van Reybrouck. Su intención es resumir los aspectos más relevantes de la misma, desde una perspectiva general y en función de las impresiones dejadas a quien reseña.
Contra las elecciones. Cómo salvar la democracia es un libro bastante ameno e inteligente en el que su autor, el historiador cultural belga David Van Reybrouck, plantea el problema de las crisis de eficacia y legitimidad en las actuales democracias, y propone la implementación del sorteo como el instrumento político que podría resolver dicha cuestión. Estructuralmente hablando, la obra está dividida en cuatro capítulos, tres de ellos enfocados a discutir las limitaciones de una visión de democracia circunscrita únicamente a la esfera o ámbito electoral, y otro más en donde desarrolla una propuesta capaz de brindar una mayor legitimidad al Estado, sin renunciar por ello a la búsqueda de eficacia al gobernar.
Um convite para a construção de redes de cuidado à infância e adolescência: ousadia, potência e impacto do Projeto Percursos Formativos na saúde mental infantojuvenil

Published: July 2019

O artigo relata a experiência do coletivo composto por ativadoras e tutor ligados à ativação de redes de Saúde Mental Infantojuvenil no escopo do projeto Engrenagens da Educação Permanente, inserido no Projeto Percursos Formativos, nas cidades de Barbacena, Campo Grande, Coronel Fabriciano, Iguatu e Ouro Preto e no estado de Roraima. Descreve, ao longo de um ano, os processos de trabalho e a construção de propostas de Educação Permanente, bem como as peculiaridades locorregionais em cada território de ativação, dentro de um contexto político bastante conturbado. A fragmentação das redes de atenção e cuidado e a multiplicidade de subtemas do campo (adolescentes usuários de substâncias psicoativas ilícitas ou cumprindo medidas socioeducativas em meio fechado; cuidados na primeira infância; enfrentamento dos processos de medicalização) figuram como impasses transversais às experiências. Como resultados das experiências narradas, pode-se considerar que o Engrenagens reacendeu a luz da luta antimanicomial nos trabalhadores das redes ativadas, promovendo a oxigenação da Rede de Atenção Psicossocial e a reflexão sobre o processo de trabalho e cuidado em saúde mental. O processo de ativação nas redes infantojuvenis reforça a ideia de que gestão e atenção são indissociáveis e convida a apostar em novas possibilidades e caminhos de cuidado compartilhados em suas múltiplas dimensões. Assim, as diferentes experiências e seus resultados podem contribuir para inspirar novos percursos de cuidado e processos de educação permanente em saúde, bem como engrenar outras redes dentro da perspectiva da atenção psicossocial. Palavras-chave: Saúde Mental Infantojuvenil. Redes de Atenção Psicossocial. Intersetorialidade.
Fear as a Destructive Pain
Authors: Bagnati Gaia 
Published: July 2019

In the discussion on bravery in Eth. Eud., III, 1 Aristotle determines the objects that are absolutely dreadful by means of an explicit reference to ‘human nature’. This reference has not received much consideration from scholars in the field. The present paper argues that the reference under discussion entails a notion of ‘human nature’ that corresponds to a human being’s psychological disposition to endure fearful emotions – that is to say, painful emotions that imply the representation of a pain capable of destroying a human being – up to a certain degree of intensity. Furthermore, this article claims that the same notion of ‘human nature’ is implied in Eth. Eud., II, 8 in the discussion of involuntariness concerning the cases of mixed actions where Aristotle refers to the ‘nature’ of the agent as a criterion to determine the involuntariness of an action.
