Cardiovascular Abnormalities Associated with Heterotaxy Syndrome: A Case Series
Authors: Joshi Shraddha , Arora Suryansh , Jadon Ravindra Singh , Guleria Munish 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Heterotaxy syndromes result from the failure of normal lateralization, resulting in the abnormal arrangement of cardiothoracic and abdominal viscera. These are associated with a disproportionate morbidity and mortality rate, mandating early diagnosis, and surgical intervention. Accurate determination of situs, as well as congenital abnormalities, is necessary for surgical planning and determination of postoperative outcome and quality of life. In this case series, we present the spectrum of cardiac, pulmonary, and systemic vascular abnormalities associated with heterotaxy syndromes. Cardiac computed tomography angiography (CTA) was performed on 10 patients with heterotaxy syndromes diagnosed on echocardiography. We found that the most common congenital heart disease associated with heterotaxy in our case series was atrioventricular septal defect. Among the extracardiac vascular abnormalities, pulmonary infundibular stenosis, right-sided aortic arch, and double superior vena cava were common. Moreover, not all cases displayed congruence between cardiac, tracheobronchial, and visceral situs. In conclusion, CTA is useful in the diagnosis of intracardiac and extracardiac vascular abnormalities associated with heterotaxy syndromes. In addition, it gives valuable information about the tracheobronchial situs, visceral situs, and other congenital abnormalities.
A cross-sectional study evaluating the knowledge, attitude, and practice of evidence-based medicine among resident doctors of a health-care Institution of National Importance in India
Authors: Prabath Indumathi , Xaviar Suja , Navabalan Vivekraj , Mathaiyan Jayanthi 
Published: October 2023

Abstract

Background and Objectives:
Evidence-based medicine (EBM) promotes the integration of updated– best evidence with patient preferences and medical expertise for clinical decision-making. Despite the availability of high-quality evidence such as systematic review and meta-analysis, some clinicians manage their patients based on past experiences and expert opinion. Thus, this study was proposed to assess the knowledge, attitude, and practice of EBM among resident doctors at a tertiary care hospital in India.

Participants and Methods:
This cross-sectional questionnaire-based study was conducted among senior residents and final-year postgraduates (PGs) who were independently involved in clinical decision-making. By convenience sampling method, the participants were recruited, and the validated EBM Questionnaire (EBMQ) was distributed online for assessing the knowledge, attitude, and practice of EBM. Descriptive statistics were represented as frequency and proportions.

Results:
A total of 102 resident doctors participated with male preponderance (74.5%). Nearly, 96 (94.1%) participants were already practicing EBM and 21.6% had undergone EBM training. Textbooks (50%) were the most often referred sources for EBM information. Specific EBM databases such as MEDLINE and Cochrane were also utilized by 37.3% of participants. More than 70% of participants understood the terms such as a randomized controlled trial, case–control study, and P value. A higher proportion (80.4%) of participants showed a positive attitude about patient care improved by EBM.

Conclusions:
The majority of the resident doctors exhibited good knowledge and a positive attitude toward applying EBM in clinical decision-making. Periodic training through workshops or courses and integration of EBM with the PG curriculum would potentially enhance the EBM practice.
On Symmetry in Physical Phenomena, Symmetry of an Electric Field and a Magnetic Field
Authors: Curie Pierre , Ziółkowski Andrzej 
Published: October 2023

In the work, the classical concept of symmetry limited to geometric objects (figures, solids), which originated from ancient Greece, has been extended to allow for symmetry studies in other types of objects. By introducing concepts of limit point groups and kinematic elements, which characterize a studied object, it was determined what types of symmetries an electric field and a magnetic field exhibit. It was established that, in order for a phenomenon to occur, a characteristic symmetry of a medium must be consistent with the characteristic symmetry of the phenomenon occurring in it. It was also determined that elements of symmetry of causes must be reflected in the symmetry of the induced effects.

An Outline of Botanical and Mycological Research on Babia Góra Mt.
Authors: Parusel Jerzy B. , Stachurska-Swakoń Alina 
Published: October 2023

The paper presents the history of botanical research on Babia Góra, one of the most valuable wilderness areas in Poland.
The first published information about the local plants can be found in the writings by Jan Długosz (15th century), as well as in studies by Marcin from Urzędów (16th century) and Syreniusz (17th century). In the nineteenth century, especially in its second half, studies providing data of scientific value on the local vascular plants, spore plants, and fungi (including lichens) have been published.
Among the famous people, exploring the nature of Babia Góra at that time, were Stanisław Staszic, Feliks Berdau, Willibald Besser, Pál Kitaibel, Eugeniusz Janota, Antoni Rehman, Josef August Schultes, Albrecht von Sydow, and others. However, it is Hugo Zapałowicz, who is considered to be a discoverer of Babia Góra for science. In 1880, he published the first extensive monograph devoted to the vegetation of Babia Góra.
With the establishment of a nature reserves there in the 1920s, and the natural park (in the second half of the 20th century), the research on flora of this mountain massif became extensive and systematic.
The authors of the first monographs on the vegetation of Babia Góra in the 20th century were Edward Ralski and Jan Walas.
Under the Spell of Distant Landscapes: On the Lives and Work of a Few Famous Hungarian Travellers and Explorers after 1945 – an Introduction to the Topic for English-Speaking Readers
Authors: Udvarvölgyi Zsolt András 
Published: October 2023

All travellers and explorers have always had the desire and the ambition to discover, for different reasons and motivations, remote and unknown lands. Hungarian travellers and explorers are no exception here. Eminent Hungarian Orientalists, archaeologists, geographers, as well as anthropologists, geologists, zoologists and botanists, and other brave and adventurous scientists, have become justly recognised in recent centuries, even worldwide, for their oeuvres and their scientific achievements.
After 1945, travel opportunities in socialist Hungary became more limited, and Hungarian scientists and researchers could embark on their expeditions only with great difficulty, overcoming many obstacles and with scarce financial resources.
In this study, I introduce five such brave and determined Hungarian travellers: Dénes Balázs: geographer and karst researcher, János Balogh: biologist, ecologist and professor, Steve Bezuk: engineer and extreme sportsman, who lived in the United States, Ödön Jakabos: Transylvanian writer and “Székely pilgrim”, and finally, Tibor Székely: travel writer, museologist and Esperantist from Vojvodina.
They all – through their individual scientific achievements, discoveries, perseverance and human attitude – have become worthy heirs of the outstanding Hungarian explorers and travellers of the past centuries.

Hydro-PE: gridded datasets of historical and future Penman–Monteith potential evaporation for the United Kingdom
Authors: Robinson Emma L. , Brown Matthew J. , Kay Alison L. , Lane Rosanna A. , Chapman Rhian , Bell Victoria A. , Blyth Eleanor M. 
Published: October 2023

Abstract. We present two new potential evaporation datasets for the United Kingdom: a
historical dataset, Hydro-PE HadUK-Grid, which is derived from the HadUK-Grid
gridded observed meteorology (1969–2021), and a future dataset, Hydro-PE UKCP18 RCM, which is
derived from UKCP18 regional climate projections (1980–2080).
Both datasets are suitable for hydrological modelling and provide Penman–Monteith potential evapotranspiration parameterised for short grass, with and without a correction for
interception on days with rainfall. The potential evapotranspiration calculations have been formulated to closely follow the methodology of the existing Meteorological Office Rainfall and Evaporation Calculation System (MORECS) potential evapotranspiration, which has historically been widely used by hydrological modellers in the United Kingdom.
The two datasets have been created using the same methodology to allow seamless modelling from past to future. Hydro-PE HadUK-Grid shows good agreement with MORECS in much of the United Kingdom, although Hydro-PE HadUK-Grid is higher in the mountainous regions of Scotland and Wales. This is due to differences in the underlying meteorology, in particular the wind speed, which are themselves due to the different spatial scales of the data. Hydro-PE HadUK-Grid can be downloaded from https://doi.org/10.5285/9275ab7e-6e93-42bc-8e72-59c98d409deb (Brown et al., 2022)

USE OF VORTEX LAYER APPARATUS FOR PREPARATION OF OILED SCALE AND ZINC-CONTAINING DUST AND SLUDGE FOR BRIQUETTING
Authors: Бижанов А.М. 
Published: October 2023

Впервые показана эффективность использования аппаратов вихревого слоя (АВС) для обезмасливания окалины и обесцинкования шламов до состояния, позволяющего применять их в качестве компонентов брикетов без вреда для здоровья и угрозы целостности футеровки доменных печей. Воздействие ряда интенсивных физико-механических процессов в рабочем пространстве АВС, инициированных вращающимся магнитным полем, приводит к измельчению частиц обрабатываемого материала, к изменению его структуры и свойств. Обработка замасленной окалины в АВС позволяет очистить окалину от масла (до 0,01%) с сохранением масла в качестве продукта. АВС позволяет сокращать продолжительность процесса выщелачивания цинка до 30 мин; селективно извлекать оксид железа и оксид цинка до конечного содержания в нерегенерируемом осадке до 0,09 и 0,043% по массе, соответственно. Изучен вещественный состав образцов замасленной и переработанной во вращающемся магнитном поле окалины. Показана возможность использования АВС для активации связующих для брикетирования. Предложены схемы промышленной реализации технологий обезмасливания и обесцинкования материалов в АВС.
For the first time, the effectiveness of the use of vortex layer apparatuses (VLA) for deoiling of mill scale and dezincification of sludge to a state that allows them to be used as components of briquettes without harm to health and threat to the integrity of the lining of blast furnaces is shown. The impact of a number of intense physical and mechanical processes in the VLA working space, initiated by a rotating magnetic field, leads to the grinding of particles of the processed material, to a change in its structure and properties. The treatment of oily mill scale in VLA makes it possible to remove oil from the scale (up to 0.01%) while retaining the oil as a product. A VLA allows you to reduce the duration of the zinc leaching process to 30 minutes; selectively recover iron oxide and zinc oxide to a final content in the non-recoverable sludge of up to 0.09% and 0.043% by weight, respectively. The material composition of samples of oily mill scale and processed in a rotating magnetic field has been studied. The possibility of using VLA to activate binders for briquetting is shown. Schemes for the industrial implementation of technologies for deoiling and dezincification of materials in VLA are proposed.
Helping Finance Students Think About the Shareholder Value Maximization Objective
Authors: Jones Steven 
Published: October 2023

One of the most contentious debates in the field of financial management involves the relative merits of a “shareholder”versus a “stakeholder” focus. While there are often-overlooked common elements in the “shareholder” and “stakeholder”arguments, clearly there are sharp differences between the two as well. Business school professors have the often-difficult taskof describing these differences for their students. This paper describes possible approaches to this issue, both at a surface levelfor an introductory finance course, and in a more applied manner for an advanced course.
The author proposes an approach of enlightened self-interest, in which corporate management observes its fiduciaryresponsibility to shareholders by pursuing long-term shareholder value maximization, and at the same time realizes that thispursuit is likely to be fruitless if other constituencies are neglected. However, it is hoped that the teaching suggestions offered inthis paper will be helpful, both to those who agree with this approach, and to those who hold a different view.
Teaching Monte Carlo Simulation Using a Multi-Sheet Excel Workbook
Authors: Duan Xiaoman , Stretcher Robert 
Published: October 2023

One of the challenges in finance education is to get across the importance of taking risk into consideration when making capital investment decisions. Once risk information is collected, it is up to the decision maker how to use it, which brings in differing approaches from manager to manager. The availability of risk indicators, however, is a valuable element in the decision process.
One strategy that seems to provide robust input for these decisions is the use of simulation to illustrate the variability of critical values, such as a net present value. A simulation may capture several key input variables’ deviations. Typical inputs exhibiting uncertainty are sales growth, fixed and variable costs, and tax rates. Some argue that the cost of capital is variable as well, although these are determined nominally at the time of financing, usually at the outset of a project, and thus may not be as needy of simulation. This article demonstrates a teaching technique for using a simulation case.
Study of the effect developed chisel plow on some energy requirements and some soil properties in a clayey mixture soil
Authors: Mohammed Luay-lazim , Al-Faris Murtada Abd Al-Azeem Abd Al-Nabi 
Published: October 2023

The experiment was conducted at the fields of the College of Agriculture - University of Basra to study the effect height of sweeps shank equipped with the developed chisel plow (10 and 20 cm), with three depths (15, 25 and 35 cm) and three lateral distance (20, 25 and 30 m), on the field performance indicators of the draft force and the area of loosened soil. In a mixed alluvial soil with a density of (1.25) g-cm3 and a moisture content of (15.17) %, the experiment was designed according to the randomized complete block design (RCBD).
The drafting force increased when the lateral distance and plowing depths increased, while it decreased when the arms of the sweeps shank increased by 20 cm. The loosened area increased when the plowing depths and the lateral distance increased when the arms of the duck hind legs were 10 cm high. The highest drafting force recorded at the height of the arms of the sweeps shank20 cm, the distance between them 30 cm, and the plowing depth 35 cm. The highest loosened area recorded at the height of the arms of the sweeps shank10 cm and the depth of plowing 35 cm.
Le rôle des figures féminines dans les tournois et pas d’armes à la cour de Bourgogne
Authors: Jeay Madeleine 
Published: October 2023

Sous l’influence de l’imaginaire arthurien, on observe une transformation du caractère des tournois qui, en devenant des spectacles chevaleresques, accordent une place aux femmes pendant l’épreuve, pour la remise des prix et lors des réjouissances qui suivent. Leur rôle dépend de la dimension littéraire des textes et est plus développé dans les biographies chevaleresques que chez les chroniqueurs. Il dépend aussi du contexte de la joute : dans les pas d’armes, elles interviennent aussi comme protagonistes des scénarios mis en scène.
Pour une lecture politique et juridique de la mise en prose bourguignonne de Florence de Rome : les rapports texte-image dans le manuscrit Chantilly, Musée Condé, 652
Authors: Brown-Grant Rosalind 
Published: October 2023

La mise en prose bourguignonne de Florence de Rome s’éloigne notamment de sa source dans les parties où l’héroïne est persécutée et condamnée à mort avant d’être condamnée à l’exil et enfin réhabilitée grâce à ses pouvoirs de guérisseuse. Faisant preuve d’une résilience et d’une éloquence remarquables, la Florence bourguignonne est loin d’être la victime passive des agressions multiples des hommes ; qui plus est, la vertu principale qu’elle semble incarner ici est la justice, qu’elle revendique pour elle-même et qu’elle exerce sur ses persécuteurs. Dans le témoin du récit enluminé par l’artiste surnommé le « Maître de Wavrin » (Chantilly, Musée Condé, ms 652), texte et images offrent une image de l’héroïne non seulement comme parangon de chasteté et de loyauté, mais aussi comme fontaine de justice, livrant ainsi une leçon politique et juridique pour le moins inattendue à son lectorat d’hommes et de femmes nobles à la cour de Bourgogne.

Les neiges et les femmes d’antan : la conception (im)maculée de la xixe Nouvelle nouvelle
Authors: Grigoriu Brîndușa 
Published: October 2023

La neige de la réécriture revêt une forme pragmatique dans la XIXe Nouvelle nouvelle, attribuée à Philippe Vignier. De la trame du fabliau De l’Enfant qui fut remis au soleil à la texture de L’Enfant de neige, la figure de la femme est appelée à subir elle-même une nouvelle conception, subtilement maculée. Le récit de la secrete fasson propose un modèle d’intelligence émotionnelle similaire à celui de Peter Salovey et John D. Mayer (1990), adaptable au contexte socio-politique bourguignon. Sans être un miroir aux dames, le texte enseigne aux destinatrices implicites la discrétion, le savoir-perdre, le politiquement correct en matière de sexualité (extra)conjugale. En tâchant de situer la XIXe Nouvelle nouvelle dans « l’histoire des émotions incarnées » tracée par Damien Boquet et Piroska Nagy (2011), notre étude propose une exploration de l’oralité féminine et de sa catéchèse mondaine qui se ressource à la Genèse, en passant par le Jeu d’Adam et les fabliaux.

Published: October 2023

Jehan de Saintré est ce roman bourguignon d’Antoine de la Sale qui nous montre une femme « en son manège » : la dame des Belles Cousines. Femme de l’ombre, femme sans nom, la dame des Belles Cousines est pourtant celle qui, en double de l’auteur, tire les ficelles des intrigues de cour et permet l’ascension exceptionnelle d’un jeune page qui, en devenant son amant, conquiert le monde chevaleresque par la table gastronomique de la fin du Moyen Âge. Roman désabusé sur les abusés en cour, Jehan de Saintré questionne, par cette figure féminine hors-norme, la place de la femme dans une société régie par des normes et des lois masculines.
Les réécritures du Roman d’Othevien en moyen anglais
