Published: November 2013

The decade of Education for Sustainable Development (ESD), which
has been declared by United Nations, is ending in 2014. That is while the preliminary results should be summarized, and this area’s prospects should be defined. In this paper the essence of ESD, in which several trends (adaptation, formalization, modernization, reformation and transformation) are emphasized from viewpoint of their content has been considered. The ESD’s main psychopedagogical and socio-ecological characteristics have been generalized. It has been demonstrated that there is no the ESD’s universal model. The results of Russian initiatives’ monitoring in the ESD area on all levels of education (from pre-school till postgraduate) have been presented. According to poll of experts the assessment of degree of implementation related to Strategy of the United Nations’ European Economic Commission for ESD has been given. The pedagogical potential of ESD has been revealed as well as diffi culties related to ESD establishing in the Russian Federation.
Progressive taxation: an aesthetic and moral defense
Authors: Чен Джим , Chen James Ming 
Published: November 2013

The power to tax is at once the power to create and the power to destroy. If the United States government hopes to discharge its primary duty as creator and protector of its citizens’ wealth, it must be willing to destroy wealth, from time to time, by redistributing it. More than any other tool, the means by which government finances and depletes its treasury affects the societal distribution of wealth. Differential taxation and targeted spending are the most significant and most effective means by which government can «gradually and continually… correct the distribution of wealth to prevent concentrations of power detrimental to the fair value of political liberty and fair equality of opportunity». Redistribution and
the attendant destruction of entrenched wealth serve as society’s ultimate weapons of «creative destruction». Of the many forces that
have propelled the United States to the economic, political, social, and military pinnacle of the modern world, its willingness to countenance radical technological and organizational upheaval probably ranks first. American prosperity depends on the federal government’s commitment to an economic environment in which citizens are able not only to amass large amounts of new wealth, but also to lose it in rapid and remorseless fashion.

Abstract

BACKGROUND
High-sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT) is a biomarker used in diagnosing myocardial injury. The clinical utility and the variation of this biomarker over time remain unclear in hemodialysis (HD) and peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients. We sought to determine whether hs-cTnT concentrations were predictive of myocardial infarction (MI) and death and to examine hs-cTnT variability over a 1-year period.

METHODS
A total of 393 nonacute HD and PD patients (70% HD and 30% PD) were followed in a prospective observational study for new MI and death.

RESULTS
Median hs-cTnT was 57 ng/L (interquartile range, 36–101 ng/L) with no observed difference between HD and PD patients (P = 0.11). Incremental increases in mortality (P = 0.024) and MI (P = 0.001) were observed with increasing hs-cTnT quartiles. MI incidence increased significantly across quartiles in both HD and PD patients (P = 0.012 and P = 0.025, respectively), whereas mortality increased only in HD patients (P = 0.015). For every increase of 25 ng/L in hs-cTnT, the unadjusted hazard ratio (HR) was 1.10 for mortality in the whole group (95% CI, 1.04–1.16, P = 0.001) and 1.16 for MI (95% CI, 1.08–1.23, P &lt; 0.001). Adjusted HR for mortality was 1.07 (95% CI, 1.01–1.15, P = 0.04) and 1.14 for MI (95% CI, 1.06–1.22, P &lt; 0.001). Changes in hs-cTnT from baseline concentrations after 1 year were minimal (55 ng/L vs 53 ng/L, P = 0.22) even in patients who had an MI (P = 0.53).

CONCLUSIONS
hs-cTnT appears to have a useful role in predicting MI and death in the dialysis population. Over a 1-year period concentrations remained stable even in patients who sustained a new cardiac event.
As if the patient were in the classroom: Video-based enquiry into the absent body in medical education
Authors: Koski Kaisu 
Published: November 2013

Abstract
This article discusses video-based enquiry as a means to explore representations of the human body in medical education. A video piece, Preclinical Body, will be considered as a case study introducing different views on the body, as offered in medical education. Methodological questions are central in this article as it both maps the parameters of the video-based, performative, and narrative outcomes, and draws connections between associated approaches of visual anthropology, ethnotheatre and narrative enquiry. This article parallels a data analysis with a video editing process, and introduces a synthesis of the data and the researcher’s interpretation in a new video narrative.

Published: November 2013

Introduction: Single or multiple cavernous hemangiomas involving the lips can be disfiguring and are subject to traumatic hemorrhage and ulceration. Furthermore, the cavernous hemangiomas may increase in size over time. The lip is a unique body tissue because of the vermilion color. Thus, surgical removal of lesions involving the vermilion borders present esthetic concerns.Case Presentation: A 51‐year‐old male presented with a chief complaint of a “red–blue puffy” and protruding lower lip of several years duration. Clinical examination revealed four raised soft tissue lesions ranging from 0.4 to 1 cm in diameter. Similar lesions were noted on the dorsal tongue surface. All lesions blanched on palpation but were not pulsatile. The preliminary diagnosis was cavernous hemangioma. Given the range in size, distribution, and esthetic concerns, the two largest lip lesions were surgically excised and the smallest was ablated by carbon dioxide laser irradiation. A small lesion involving both lips at the commissure was not treated because of lack of esthetic and functional concerns.Conclusions: Treatment was successful in that no complications were incurred and the esthetic result was pleasing to the patient. This case demonstrates that laser ablation of a cavernous hemangioma with good hemostasis is possible and should be considered a viable treatment option.

Published: November 2013

Abstract
This work is devoted to the actual problem – increase in completeness of extraction of oil on Yaregskaya area of Yarega oil field.
In present time the most effective method of exploitation of Yaregskaya area is thermo-mine technology using underground-surface system with radial scheme of formation exposing 300 m wells. Improve ment of thermo-mine method of exploitation allows to increase recovery rates and oil recovery factor. In present time to recover the remaining reserves it is proposed to construct mini-mines using underground and surface system with panel system of formation exposing 800 m wells. Using of this system will allow to reduce penetration of excavation in 2 times. Besides, it will allow save temperature of the miner atmosphere in admissible limits till the end of oil field exploration. Construction of mini-mines will allow to reduce charges of excavation.
Yarega oil field of high-viscosity oil is situated in 18 km to the south-west from Ukhta. The oil field is dated for the Yaregskay, Lyayelskay and Vezhavozhskay structures having the general extent of 36 km (drawing 1). Yarega`s oil viscosity reaches 16000 mPa*s, initial gas to oil ratio (GOR) is 10–13 m3/t, initial reservoir pressure is 1,3 MPa.

Authors: Sergeevna Lopatina Ekaterina 
Published: November 2013

Abstract
The Dkt-1 layer is restricted in "kolgal" formation. It is the unique geological object, because the terrigenous Dkt-1 layer is characterized by local distribution inside thick carbonate sediment. The resourse of this layer contain 60% of the whole field resourses. The operator gave a purpose to explain the differences of the exploration wells work. For example, there are two exploration wells located on 500 meters from injection well. There fore debits are 10 times deffer: 60 and 600 tons per day. 40% of wells are drilled in lithological unsuccessful area, that is why the relevancy of deep geological research is appear.
The main purpose: increase of development effectiveness.
The main aims: the detail correlation, prediction of reservoir distribution, analysis of development prosesses according to facial analysis.
Originality: using the facial analysis in the stage of active development. The complex analysis of research – at first time data of core, logging, seismic and actual production history was complexed.
The Vakhitovskoe field is distributed in Orenburg region. The layer under study – Dkt-1 – was formed at the late franian stage of Devonian system and represented by terrigenous sandy-gravel rock the total thicknes about 50 m.
As a initial data was given information of 40 wells (8 of them with core, 220 meters), 3D seismic cube area 130 sq.km., more than 900 core samples with reservoir properties, actual production history from 2002.
In a seismic section the Dkt-1 layer is represented by clinoform body downwarping to the north.
The main geological feature of the layer is anomaly huge compartmentalization – it achieves 40 interlayers.
Experience of Reservoirs Management of Bazhenov-Abalak Complex North-Eastern Part of the Palyanovskaya Area Krasnoleninskoye Field
Authors: Uliana Podkorytova 
Published: November 2013

Abstract
Nowadays exploration for hydrocarbons in bazhen formation has become one of the main task of oil industry in Russia.
Today, production of these types of hydrocarbon in the world is greater than 5 %, and it shows steady growth. Resource potential estimates vary up to 10 billion tons, which indicate the prospects of this type of hydrocarbons. To date, taking into account the tax benefits for oil production from non-conventional sources of hydrocarbons becomes the most promising for all Russian vertically integrated oil companies. A large spread over the area within the KHMAO and successful pilot projects with commercial oil flow create the preconditions for a high probability of an early start of a large-scale oil production, with application of the latest technologies. Production potential of the Bazhenov Formation in Russia in 2020 is estimated at 15-20 million tons.
JSC "GazpromNeft" is paying a great attention to the development of this area. Assessing the potential of the Bazhenov and abalak formations in Palyanovskaya area of Krasnoleninskoye oil field – is one of the company's projects to explore the possibilities of unconventional hydrocarbon reserves.
Palyanovskaya area of Krasnoleninskoye oil field is located in the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous District on the territory of Oktyabrskiy region (Fig. 1). Within close proximity there are also developed oil fields: Em- Egovskoye, Talin (west) and Kamennaya area (south- east) of Krasnoleninskoye field.
Analysis of Lost Circulation in Production Casing Installation Conditions at Orenburgneft OJSC Fields and Recommendations on Prevention of Such Losses

Abstract
Dmitry A. Kustaryov, a drilling engineer in LLC TNK-Uvat since 2012 (OJSC Oil Company Rosneft).
Sergey A. Rubatsov, a drilling field supervisor in OJSC Samotlorneftegaz since 2012 (OJSC Oil Company Rosneft).
In 2011, both authors had a working experience in OJSC Orenburgneft as drilling engineers. OJSC Orenburhneft fields are represented by highly-fractured carbonate rocks. Therefore, the main drilling problems are associated with lost circulation and significant mud losses. The region has a wealth of experience in dealing with these drilling problems and detailed step-by-step actions have been developed. However, apart from drilling, production casing installation in some cases is also accompanied by lost circulation. Lost circulation during casing cementing has the most severe and irreversible effect. Various lost circulation control methods have been tested and are being applied in the region in order to prevent lost circulation during well completion, but there are no comprehensive methods in well completion as in drilling. Therefore, the authors set a goal to analyze technologies applied in the Company, to review the global experience of well cementing and after all to develop a uniform procedure to prevent lost circulation in production casing installation conditions. After such procedure is created, it can be used not only by OJSC Orenburgneft engineers but in other subsidiaries of OJSC Oil Company Rosneft.

Published: November 2013

OBJECTIVE
To estimate the annual, per-patient incremental burden of diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs).

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS
DFU patients and non-DFU patients with diabetes (controls) were selected using two deidentified databases: ages 65+ years from a 5% random sample of Medicare beneficiaries (Standard Analytical Files, January 2007–December 2010) and ages 18–64 years from a privately insured population (OptumInsight, January 2007–September 2011). Demographics, comorbidities, resource use, and costs from the payer perspective incurred during the 12 months prior to a DFU episode were identified. DFU patients were matched to controls with similar pre-DFU characteristics using a propensity score methodology. Per-patient incremental clinical outcomes (e.g., amputation and medical resource utilization) and health care costs (2012 U.S. dollars) during the 12-month follow-up period were measured among the matched cohorts.

RESULTS
Data for 27,878 matched pairs of Medicare and 4,536 matched pairs of privately insured patients were analyzed. During the 12-month follow-up period, DFU patients had more days hospitalized (+138.2% Medicare, +173.5% private), days requiring home health care (+85.4% Medicare, +230.0% private), emergency department visits (+40.6% Medicare, +109.0% private), and outpatient/physician office visits (+35.1% Medicare, +42.5% private) than matched controls. Among matched patients, 3.8% of Medicare and 5.0% of privately insured DFU patients received lower limb amputations. Increased utilization resulted in DFU patients having $11,710 in incremental annual health care costs for Medicare, and $16,883 for private insurance, compared with matched controls. Privately insured matched DFU patients incurred excess work-loss costs of $3,259.

CONCLUSIONS
These findings document that DFU imposes substantial burden on public and private payers, ranging from $9–13 billion in addition to the costs associated with diabetes itself.
NSI: A major occupational hazards among the health care workers in Nepal
Authors: Mondal Jaita 
Published: November 2013

A percutaneous piercing wound as in needle stick injury is a typically set by a needle point, but possibly also by other sharp instruments or objects. These events are of concern because of the risk to transmit blood-borne diseases through the passage of the hepatitis B virus (HBV), the hepatitis C virus (HCV), and the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), the virus which causes AIDS. The present study was done to determine the risk status regarding NSI among health care workers of Private Hospitals, Pokhara, Nepal. Samples were selected through purposive sampling. Self administered questionnaire & risk assessment tool were used to collect data. Study revealed that majority of health care workers were females (93%) with mean age of 22.66 years (±3.1). Sixty eight percent had got NSI, among them 41% had NSI more than 2times in life. Maximum NSI cases happened either by recapping of the needle (18%) or during disposal of sharps (16%) or while transferring a body fluid (blood) to a specimen bottle (15%). The study concludes that majority of health workers had NSI more than two times which denotes NSI is a major occupational hazard. Cases happened either by recapping of the needle or during disposal of sharps or while transferring a body fluid to a specimen bottle.

Published: November 2013

SummaryAim: The working group Cardiovascular Nuclear Medicine of the German Society of Nuclear Medicine presents the results of the 6th survey on myocardial perfusion scintigraphy (MPS) of the reporting year 2012. Method: 278 questionnaires (177 private practices (PP), 78 hospitals (HO), 23 university hospitals (UH)) were evaluated. Results: MPS of 105,941 patients were reported. 95% [2005 = 80%] of MPS studies were conducted with 99mTc perfusion radiopharmaceuticals and only 5% with 201Tl. 79% [2009 = 76%] of the MPS were performed in PP, 15% [2009 = 17%] in HO, and 6% [2009 = 7%] in UH. Data from 108 centres which participated in all surveys from 2005 to 2012 showed an increase in MPS numbers of 4.0% (PP +6.1%, HO +18.2%, UH –18.3%). 29% of all participants (27% of PP, 31% of HO, and 26% of UH) noticed no change and 26% of all participants (28% of PP, 17% of HO and 35% of UH) an increase in their MPS requests since the 2009 query. The type of stress was pharmacological in 39% [2009 = 31%]. Of these 61% with adenosine (39% with exercise), 22% with regadenoson (51% with exercise), 14% with dipyridamole (60% with exercise), and 3% with dobutamine. Gated SPECT was performed in 73% [2009 = 56%] of all rest, in 70% [2009 = 56%] of all stress and in 67% [47%] of all stress and rest MPS. Only 36% [2009 = 33%] of the centres performed a quantification of all their studies with scores, whereas 41% [2009 = 52%] did not apply any quantification. 60% [2009 = 49%] of the MPS were requested by ambulatory care cardiologists. Conclusion: The survey on MPS in Germany reveals a good conformity of imaging procedures with the current guideline. A positive development in MPS practice and referral can be stated. However, there is still some potential of MPS processing considering the quantitative perfusion analysis.
A Statistical Cerebroarterial Atlas Derived from 700 MRA Datasets
Authors: Fiehler J. , Suniaga S. , Wersching H. , Knecht S. , Kemmling A. , Forkert N. D. 
Published: November 2013

SummaryObjectives: The cerebroarterial system is a complex network of arteries that supply the brain cells with vitally important nutrients and oxygen. The inter-individual differences of the cerebral arteries, especially at a finer level, are still not understood sufficiently. The aim of this work is to present a statistical cerebroarterial atlas that can be used to overcome this problem.Methods: Overall, 700 Time-of-Flight (TOF) magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) data sets of healthy subjects were used for atlas generation. Therefore, the cerebral arteries were automatically segmented in each dataset and used for a quantification of the vessel diameters. After this, each TOF MRA dataset as well as the corresponding vessel segmentation and vessel diameter dataset were registered to the MNI brain atlas. Fi -nally, the registered datasets were used to calculate a statistical cerebroarterial atlas that incorporates information about the average TOF intensity, probability for a vessel occurrence and mean vessel diameter for each voxel.Results: Visual analysis revealed that arteries with a diameter as small as 0.5 mm are well represented in the atlas with quantitative values that are within range of anatomical reference values. Moreover, a highly significant strong positive correlation between the vessel diameter and occurrence probability was found. Furthermore, it was shown that an intensity-based automatic segmentation of cerebral vessels can be considerable improved by incorporating the atlas information leading to results within the range of the inter-observer agreement.Conclusion: The presented cerebroarterial atlas seems useful for improving the understanding about normal variations of cerebral arteries, initialization of cerebrovascular segmentation methods and may even lay the foundation for a reliable quantification of subtle morphological vascular changes.
Dramatic vestigialization of floral fragrance across a transition from outcrossing to selfing inAbronia umbellata(Nyctaginaceae)
Authors: Doubleday Laura A. D. , Raguso Robert A. , Eckert Christopher G. 
Published: November 2013

•Premise of the study:Vestigialization of traits that no longer enhance fitness is a common theme in evolution. Plants often use colorful, scented flowers to attract pollinators that mediate outcross pollination. After an evolutionary shift from outcrossing to self‐fertilization, where cross‐pollination is no longer necessary, attractive traits may be reduced, especially because these traits may also attract herbivores. Selection may be particularly strong in moth‐pollinated lineages where pollinators are also herbivores.•Methods:We used field surveys and common garden glasshouse experiments to test this hypothesis by quantifying components of flower size and display and floral volatiles in outcrossing vs. selfing populations of the moth‐pollinated Pacific coastal dune endemicAbronia umbellata.•Key results:Floral face diameter and flower tube length were 43% and 54% smaller in selfing than outcrossing populations, and selfers displayed 15% fewer flowers per umbel. Selfers emitted 99% less total floral volatiles per flower per hour than outcrossers; a much stronger reduction. The chemical composition of volatiles also differed between outcrossers and selfers. Similar differences were observed in a common glasshouse environment, suggesting genetic differentiation in these floral attractive traits among populations. Contrary to expectations, there were no differences in leaf or flower herbivory between selfing and outcrossing populations.•Conclusions:Floral fragrance is much more dramatically reduced in selfing compared to outcrossing populations than other floral attractive traits, but probably not due to selection exerted by moth herbivory. Reduction in aspects of flower size may be constrained by developmental linkages with fruit and seed size.
