Introduction:
Sacroiliac joint (SIJ) fusion is a surgical treatment option for SIJ pathology in select patients who have failed conservative management. More recently, minimally invasive surgical (MIS) techniques have been developed. This study aimed to determine the trends in procedure volume and reimbursement rates for SIJ fusion.

Methods:
Publicly available Medicare databases were assessed using the National Summary Data Files for 2010 to 2020. Files were organized according to current procedural terminology (CPT) codes. CPT codes specific to open and MIS SI joint fusion (27279 and 27280) were identified and tracked. To track surgeon reimbursements, the CMS Medicare Physician Fee Schedule Look-Up Tool was used to extract facility prices. Descriptive statistics and linear regression were used to evaluate trends in procedure volume, utilization, and reimbursement rates. Compound annual growth rates were calculated, and discrepancies in inflation were corrected for using the Consumer Price Index

Results:
A total of 33,963 SIJ fusions were conducted in the Medicare population between 2010 and 2020, with an overall increase in procedure volume of 2,350.9% from 318 cases in 2010 to 7,794 in 2020. Since the introduction of the 27279 CPT code in 2015, 8,806 cases (31.5%) have been open and 19,120 (68.5%) have been MIS. Surgeon reimbursement for open fusions increased nominally by 42.8% (inflation-adjusted increase of 20%) from $998 in 2010 to $1,425 in 2020. Meanwhile, reimbursement for MIS fusion experienced a nominal increase of 58.4% (inflation-adjusted increase of 44.9%) from $582 in 2015 to $922 in 2020.

Conclusion:
SIJ fusion volume in the Medicare population has increased substantially in the past 10 years, with MIS SIJ fusion accounting for most of the procedures since the introduction of the 27279 CPT code in 2015. Reimbursement rates for surgeons have also increased for both open and MIS procedures, even after adjusting for inflation.

Garlic (Allium sativum L.) is used as both a food and traditional medicine for several illnesses throughout the world. 7 garlic cultivars (Novozamocky, Lumir, Mojmir, Havran, Garpel, Eden Rose, and Bjetin) were analyzed in this study. Since modern consumer demands encourage the consumption of foods with positive effects on human health, research into the nutritional properties and chemical composition of traditional crops, like garlic, is important. Knowledge of these properties could support the cultivation of cultivars with the highest content of bioactive compounds. Total polyphenol content (TPC) determined by Folin – Ciocalteau method ranged from 797.11 to 1183.98 mg GAE.kg-1 DM. Total flavonoid content (TFC) determined by the aluminum chloride method ranged from 15.96 to 28.18 mg CE.kg-1 DM.
Antioxidant activity (AA) determined by the ABTS method ranged from 1.97 to 4.42 mmol TE.kg-1 DM. Antioxidant activity (AA) determined by the FRAP method ranged from 1.12 to 2.64 mmol TE.kg-1 DM. Statistical evaluation of results showed a difference between garlic cultivars. The highest antioxidant activity and the highest content of bioactive substances were determined in the cultivar Garpel. High positive correlations (p < 0.001) were determined between TPC and TFC (r = 0.746), TPC and AA ABTS (r = 0.862), TPC and AA FRAP (r = 0.922), TFC and AA ABTS (r = 0.792), TFC and AA FRAP (r = 0.808), and AA ABTS and AA FRAP (r = 0.896). Garlic is confirmed to be a natural source of antioxidants, polyphenols, and flavonoids.

In this study, contamination by microscopic fungi (focused on Penicillium and Aspergillus species) of 75 fruit samples (strawberries, blackberries, blueberries, raspberries, grapes) and 29 tomato samples, which were obtained from Slovak stores was investigated. Totally 93.3% of fruit samples were contaminated with micromycetes (70.6% Botrytis spp., 52.0% Cladosporium spp., 42.7% Penicillium spp., 13.3% Rhizopus spp., 8.0% Alternaria spp., 6.7% Mucor spp., 5.3% Aspergillus spp., 4.0% Fusarium spp., and 1.3% Epicoccum spp.) and 6.7% of samples were contaminated with yeasts. The presence of 15 species of the genus Penicillium in fruits, namely P. atramentosum, P. aurantiogriseum, P. brevicompactum, P. bialowiezense, P. citrinum, P. crustosum, P. digitatum, P. expansum, P. fellutanum, P. glabrum, P. hordei, P. italicum, P. kiamense, P. olsonii, and P. purpurescens was found. With the highest frequency, P. brevicompactum (12.0%) and P. expansum (10.7%) were isolated from fruits. Four isolates of the genus Aspergillus were isolated from fruit samples (A. section Clavati, A. section Flavi, and two isolates of A. section Nigri). Thin layer chromatography (TLC) was used for testing of mycotoxin production by selected fungal isolates. Overall, 93.3% of tested Penicillium isolates and one tested Aspergillus of section Clavati proved the ability to produce at least one of the tested mycotoxins. As for tomato samples, 93.1% were contaminated with microscopic filamentous fungi (79.3% Penicillium spp., 24.1% Botrytis spp. and Alternaria spp., 10.3% Cladosporium spp., Mucor spp. and Rhizopus spp., 6.9% Aspergillus spp. and 3.4% Fusarium spp.) and 6.9% samples were contaminated with yeasts. In 65.5% of tomato samples, the occurrence of 8 species of the genus Penicillium (P. brevicompactum, P. crustosum, P. expansum, P. griseofulvum, P. italicum, P. olsonii, P. sublectaticum, P. thomii), and two species of the genus Aspergillus (from section Circumdati and Flavi) was recorded. P. olsonii (58.6%) and P. griseofulvum (10.3%) were isolated with the highest frequency. All 7 tested Penicillium isolates (100.0%) and 1 isolate of the genus Aspergillus (section Flavi), which were obtained from tomatoes, had the ability to produce at least one of the tested mycotoxins. Aspergillus section Flavi isolate (from tomatoes of Slovak origin) produced 5.5 µg.mL-1 of aflatoxin B1, 4.2 µg.mL-1 of aflatoxin B2, 154.4 µg.mL-1 of aflatoxin G1, and 5.6 µg.mL-1 of aflatoxin G2 on 14th day of cultivation on liquid YES medium at 25±1 °C in darkness, and detected by high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC).

Devido ao Estatuto da Pessoa com Deficiência (PcD), desde 2015, diversas universidades têm promovido políticas de inclusão nos cursos superiores e, apesar de todo esforço, os resultados advindos dessas ações não são suficientes para garantir a permanência deles nas universidades, principalmente aquelas relacionadas ao quesito arquitetônico ou espacial. Devido a esta problemática, este tabalho teve por objetivo identificar demandas de acessibilidade e indicar, através de ferramentas de Cadastro Territorial e Multifinalitário e tomada de decisão, intervenções arquitetônicas de forma a garantir o acesso e a permanência de PcD na Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC). Para tanto, foram realizados diversos levantamentos in loco, remotamente e via questionários, para identificar problemas de acessibilidade arquitetônica no Campus Professor David Ferreira Lima da UFSC, a fim de validar a metodologia. Através dos resultados obtidos foi possível verificar a existência de diversos problemas de acessibilidade arquitetônica no Campus, concluindo que o método aplicado se mostrou válido para indicar as intervenções que se fazem necessárias. Como resultados também foram sugeridas alterações para atender a acessibilidade através de projetos. Foi concluído, também, que a integração de PcD à equipe fortaleceu e ampliou a formação humana e cidadã dos membros envolvidos, principalmente os estudantes de Engenharia Civil, futuros responsáveis, também, por realizar construções mais acessíveis.

LA CIUDAD IMPOSIBLE: BREVES REFLEXIONES SOBRE URBANISMO, ARQUITECTURA Y VIOLENCIA
Authors: Boano Camillo 
Published: May 2023

Esta contribución tiene por objeto ofrecer algunas reflexiones acerca de la noción “contested urbanism” que caracteriza el proceso contemporáneo de hacer y habitar las ciudades, analizando la intrincada relación entre arquitectura y violencia a diferentes escalas. Basado en investigación internacional previa y en el trabajo de eruditos como Walter Benjamin, Henri Lefebvre y Eyal Weizman, el texto desea volver a poner la disputa al centro de una investigación arquitectónica y urbana, abordando la intersección de los aspectos espaciales y temporales de los conflictos suscitados en la producción de la ciudad, donde las categorías intelectuales y espaciales son capaces de construir nuevas epistemologías, ciudades y espacios en una tensión paradójica.
AbstractThis contribution aims to offer some reflections around the notion of contested urbanism that characterize the contemporary process of making and inhabiting cities, discussing the intricate relation between architecture and violence at different scales. Grounding in previous international research and in the work of scholars like Walter Benjamin, Henri Lefebvre, and Eyal Weizman, the text wishes to reposition contestation at the centre of an architectural and urban research, addressing the intersection of spatial and temporal aspects of conflicts in the production of the city, where intellectual and spatial categories are able to construct new epistemologies, cities and space in a paradoxical tension.
DE LA PARTICIPACIÓN A LA CO-CREACIÓN. NUEVAS FORMAS DE PENSAR INTERVENCIONES PARA MEJORAR EL HABITAR URBANO/RESIDENCIAL
Authors: Jirón Paola 
Published: May 2023

Los procesos actuales de intervención urbana en distintas escalas centran su actuar en la indispensable necesidad de incorporar participación ciudadana en los proyectos específicos. Sin embargo, muchas veces la participación en las diversas etapas de los proyectos resulta ser un checklist de instancias que producen un resultado específico, donde el control del proceso queda aún en las manos del interventor, con poco involucramiento efectivo y a largo plazo de las personas a quienes está dirigida la intervención. A partir de la comprensión de las formas de habitar en la actualidad, este trabajo revisa algunos de los problemas de los procesos urbanos participativos en Chile y específicamente en el Programa “Quiero Mi Barrio” del Ministerio de Vivienda y Urbanismo. Finalmente, propone una mirada desde la co-creación para abordar las formas en que se puede mejorar el habitar en áreas urbanas en la actualidad.
AbstractCurrent urban intervention processes at various scales focus on the indispensable need to include citizen participation in specific projects. However, participation at the various project stages often takes place as a checklist in order to produce a specific result, where process control remains in the hands of those intervening, with very little effective and long term involvement from those the intervention was directed to. From an understanding of contemporary ways of dwelling, this paper reviews the existing problems with participatory urban processes in Chile; it specifically looks at participation within the Ministry of Housing and Urbanism ‘Quiero Mi Barrio’ (‘I love my neighbourhood’) Programme, and proposes a co-creation approach in order to improve ways of living in urban areas today.
Por una Arquitectura post-crítica
Authors: Rahm Philippe 
Published: May 2023

El futuro de la arquitectura es post-crítico: debemos vaciar la arquitectura de sus superestructuras narra­tivas borrando las subjetividades para redescubrir un cierto vacío o neutralidad psicológica de las cosas. En este proceso, podemos descubrir las posibilidades formales y programáticas de las cosas para diseñar espacios y edificios por medio del conocimiento científico cuantificable. Este es un cambio de paradigma donde el espacio ya no tiene significado, sino presencia física y química. Debemos emplear los objetivos de la teoría crítica (subjetividad, multiplicidad, diversidad) pero cambiar sus herramientas (narrativa, his­toria), reemplazándolas por enfoques objetivos, científicos, neutrales y no narrativos. Aquí es donde la semántica da paso a lo somático, y donde el storytelling y la ficción hacen lugar a las propiedades medibles del mundo, en una nueva objetividad de las cosas, del espacio.

AbstractThe future of architecture is post-critical: we must empty architecture of its narrative superstructures through the erasure of subjectivities in order to rediscover a certain blankness or psychological neutrality of things. In this process, we can discover the formal and programmatic possibilities of things for the design of spaces and buildings through quantifiable scientific knowledge. This is a paradigm shift where space no longer has meaning, but instead has physical and chemical presence. We must engage the targets of critical theory (subjectivity, multiplicity, diversity) but change its tools (narrative, story), replacing them with objective, scientific, neutral, nonnarrative approaches. This is where the semantic gives way to the somatic, and where storytelling and fiction make room for the measured properties of the world, in a new objectivity of things, of space.

When Routine Bites Hard
Authors: De Backer Gutiérrez Esteban 
Published: May 2023

In 1982, Alejandro de la Sota writes 'For a logical architecture', an undercover manifesto in which he describes the process of architectural production as a sequence of efficient reasonings in the form of precepts that almost irrevocably result in 'Architecture'. This notion, transferred to contemporary architectural production beyond the productive efficiency associated with commercial architecture, is demanded in certain current practices that advocate
a sort of 'creative pragmatism' removed from the trends of the 90’s of practices like those of OMA, MVRDV or Alejandro Zaera Polo. Opposedto this, a re-conceptualization ofthe notion of efficiency associated with the production of architectureis explored. The operative modesof Estudio Herreros, Office KGDVS and Lacaton & Vassal are examined, exploring concepts like 'creative efficiency', 'necessary efficiency'or 'behaviour efficiency', somehow connecting back to the 'Logical Architecture' argued by de la Sota in his 1982 manifesto.
Framing the Open (Urban) Project: Insights from Landscape and Ecology
Authors: Sordi Jeannette 
Published: May 2023

In the 80’s and 90’s, architects grew interested in experimenting with change over time, flexibility, indeterminacy, multiple layers and programs – what Manuel Gausa defined as an emerging open logic in architecture. At the same time, landscape and ecology were seen by many as the most appropriate medium to operate in the context of complex urban infrastructure and fringe areas. Currently, the threat posed by climate change and the increasing investment from cities on creating and repurposing open spaces and infrastructure, is feeding a renovated interest in landscape design. However, it is also leading to an increasing objectification of landscape. This paper will look at five recent projects of landscape architecture to reflect on the value and limits of 'open-ness' in urban design.
