Just 40 years ago, WBelgrade was the host of the 25th annual congress of the ESCVS, the oldest society in Europe in the field of cardiac and vascular surgery. Belgrade is the capital of Serbia and one of the biggest cities in this part of Europe well known for its tradition, cultural and social resources thus becoming increasingly popular touristic destination in the recent period. Charm, night life and hospitality of inhabitants are usually outlined by foreign visitors. As your hosts, we will provide you with interesting scientific program enriched with educational workshops, scientific lectures related to both clinical problems and scientific topics. Some of the most controversial themes will be presented through “pro et contra” sessions by experts from the field, respecting new technologies and in- novative therapies while not forgetting conventional surgery. Besides educational workshops, young surgeons will be able to compete for the “best young cardiac or vascular surgeon” prize for their scientific work. In the name of the fruitful cooperation with other specialties, different joint sessions will be organized. Joint session with Euro- pean Society for Vascular Surgery related to aortic hot topics, while collaborators in ACST 2 study will endow with interesting lectures and updates from the field of the treatment of asymptomatic carotid disease. Serbian Society for Heart Failure and Working group for pacemaker of the Serbian Society for Cardiology will present their most interesting controversies. Different social and cultural activities will be provided to all visitors of our meeting. As during the previous annual meetings of the ESCVS, we are proud to announce that besides 450 abstracts in the field of cardiac and vascular surgery, during our meeting also scientific papers in the field of cardiovascular anesthesia, cardiology, perfusion and medical nursing will be presented. As local organizing committee we are thankful for your confidence and support. Also we are thankful to the Journal of Cardiovascular Surgery, official journal of our Society, for their dedicated work. All abstracts in cardiac, vascular surgery and cardiovascular anes- thesia are published in the supplement in front of you. Abstract were reviewed and scored by independent referees, members of Executive Committee of the ESCVS, and allocated in sessions of different levels. They are divided in twelve vascular and eleven cardiac abstract sessions for oral presentations and additional sessions for young cardiac and vascular surgeons’ award. The most interesting poster papers are scheduled in the Best poster session (one cardiac and one vascular) in order to be presented in short oral communication of three minutes. Other poster papers will be presented as electronic posters on the touch screen table located in the ground floor. Very few highly scored papers presented particular surgical technique are invited to be presented in the Cardiac or Vascular cinema session together with other invited experts. Besides rich scientific program hopefully you will find time and efforts to experience Belgrade and have unforgettable experience. On behalf of local organizing committee, LAZAR DAVIDOVIC, Chair of the Local organizing Committee and President Elect of the ESCVS Vol. 57 - Suppl. 2 to No. 2 THE JOURNAL OF CARDIOVASCULAR SURGERY 1 Anno: 2016 Lavoro: Mese: April titolo breve: Volume: 57 primo autore: ESCVS 2016 ABSTRACT BOOK No: 2 pagine: 1-2 Rivista: THE JOURNAL OF CARDIOVASCULAR SURGERY Cod Rivista: J CAR DI O VASC SURG ESCVS 2016 ABSTRACT BOOK difference in incidence of emboligenic DWI lesions was found when a shunt was used or not (10.8% vs. 9.6%; p=0.76). APRIL 21, 2016 Only one patient with an emboligenic DWI lesion presented with a stroke; all other lesions were clinically silent (31/32; 97%). Conclusions: There is a tendency for higher incidence of emboligenic V1: CAROTID I DWI lesions when using a shunt during CEA. Subgroup analysis for the asymptomatic carotid stenosis group shows a statistically significant 16.00-17.30 (Hall: Mediteraneo+Adriatic) higher incidence of emboligenic DWI lesions when a shunt was used, compared to when no shunt was used.

These authors contributed equally. y Co-last authors. z Received: 22 July 2020; Accepted: 4 September 2020; Published: 8 September 2020 Abstract: The senescence process is the result of a series of factors that start from the genetic constitution interacting with epigenetic modifications induced by endogenous and environmental causes and that lead to a progressive deterioration at the cellular and functional levels. One of the main causes of aging is oxidative stress deriving from the imbalance between the production of reactive oxygen (ROS) and nitrogen (RNS) species and their scavenging through antioxidants. Xanthine oxidoreductase (XOR) activities produce uric acid, as well as reactive oxygen and nitrogen species, which all may be relevant to such equilibrium. This review analyzes XOR activity through in vitro experiments, animal studies and clinical reports, which highlight the pro-aging effects of XOR products. However, XOR activity contributes to a regular level of ROS and RNS, which appears essential for the proper functioning of many physiological pathways. This discourages the use of therapies with XOR inhibitors, unless symptomatic hyperuricemia is present.

  • Summary of Q&A at the Briefing of Financial Results of The
    Summary of Q&A at the Briefing of Financial Results of the Year ended March 31, 2013 (May 9, 2013) Q Please explain the reasons for your decision to recognize business restructuring expenses in the fiscal year ended March 2013. Could you also let us know whether the possibility exists that you may regularly recognize similar special losses in the future? A We do not acknowledge the special losses booked in the previous fiscal year as being regular or periodic in nature. One of the causes was that, since 2009, we actively pursued a policy of using development companies in other countries which created additional challenges when compared to in- house development, and led to some titles not attaining the anticipated quality standard. Consequently, we chose to cancel some of the titles under development with external companies as well as additional titles that did not meet market demands of the digital contents distribution. As a result, we booked business restructuring expenses to reduce future special losses and the transition to in-house production. Q What are your plans and forecasts for the Chinese version of “Monster Hunter Online”? A We expect to commence β-testing in 2013 in association with Tencent Holdings Limited. However, just as for ordinary PC online games, we anticipate that the contribution to revenues will be insignificant in the first year of this new development. Q Can you explain how the newly developed “Panta Rhei” engine differs from the “MT Framework”? A “Panta Rhei” is the most recently developed engine for new generation consoles like the PlayStation 4, whereas “MT Framework” is an engine developed for existing consoles like the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and for mobile consoles including iOS.

  • Reviewed Paper Urban Emotions and Realtime Planning Methods Peter
    % reviewed paper Urban Emotions and Realtime Planning Methods Peter Zeile (Dr.-Ing. Peter Zeile, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Institute of Urban and Landscape Design | STQP, [email protected]) 1 ABSTRACT The Urban Emotions approach combines methods and technologies from Volunteered Geographic Information (VGI), Social Media, sensors and bio-statistical sensors to detect people’s perception for a new perspective about urban environment. In short, it is a methodology for gaining and extracting contextual information of emotion by using technologies from real-time human sensing systems and crowdsourcing methods. “Real-time planning” describes a system in which planning disciplines get a toolset for a fast and simple creation of visualization or simulation from municipal geodata in a consistent workflow. This includes applications from Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality as well as the above mentioned combination of real-time humane sensors and urban sensing systems. Due to the fact, that a real existing city never corresponds with a laboratory situation, Virtual Reality can be one of the solutions to fill the gap for detecting people’s perceptions concerning design, while filtering other unintended side effects. Insights and results from Urban Emotions project, granted by German Research Foundation and Austrian Science Fond, will be presented in this contribution. It is based on a German contribution, published earlier this year (Zeile 2017). Keywords: walking, 360° cameras, people as sensors, virtual reality, cycling 2 REAL-TIME PLANNING Real time planning and the development of simulation and visualization methods in urban planning was published in 2010 (Zeile 2010). This contribution gives a short overview, how new technologies support this approach contemporarily, and how they can be used in urban and spatial planning.

  • Owen Johnson TED HUGHES
    Owen Johnson TED HUGHES: SPEAKING FOR THE EARTH Submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, 1991. This thesis explores the attempt in Ted Hughes' poems to reconcile 'fallen' human consciousness and unreflecting, instinctive involvement in the Earth: consciousness must learn to understand, and to speak for, the Earth it is alienated from. Part One suggests the relevance of the thinking in Hughes' poetry and prose to contemporary ecological theories; it also tries to answer liberal, Marxist, feminist and other critiques of Hughes' work and to justify his ideas on free will, reason, violence, schizophrenia, ritual, shamanism and other subjects. The thesis, secondly, argues for poems' aesthetic importance: Part Two explores a large number of individual poems, offering paraphrases for their more philosophically complex arguments and showing how themes such as the flux of existence (symbolized by wheels and rivers) run through Hughes' oeuvre. Wodwo, Crow, Cave Birds, the Gaudete epilogue, Moortown and River are considered as unified wholes, whose end, of speaking for the Earth, is occasionally and briefly attained. The copyright of this thesis rests with the author. No quotation from it should be published without his prior written consent and information derived from it should be acknowledged. 18 AUG 1992 CONTENTS Page Introduction: Literary Criticism and Hughes' Poetry 1 PART ONE Chapter 1: The Earth la: Hughes and Human Ecology 10 lb: Poetry and Ecology 22 2a: David Holbrook on Hughes 26 2b: Hughes' 'Natural Scientism' 27 2c: Contradictory Influences of Blake and Graves 32 2d: Zen, Memory, Subjectivity 35 3a: Graham Bradshaw on Hughes 38 3b: Reason 39 3c: Myth and Ritual 41 3d: Shamanism 44 4a: Dennis Walder on Hughes 46 4b: Hughes and Feminism 48 5a: Martin Dodsworth on Hughes.

  • Street Fighter V: It's About Capcom-Unity
    Street Fighter V: It’s About Capcom-unity Sony and Capcom are set to take the fighting game community to the Promised Land. “Fighting games are dying.” It’s said time and again. With dwindling sales and a limited appeal compared to AAA games of other genres, many believe fighting games are on their deathbed. Yet despite their declining sales figures, fighting games have created one of the most passionate communities in all of gaming: the fighting game community. That, in no small part, is down to the success of Street Fighter. As Matthew Edwards [fighting games community manager for Capcom UK] states, “Street Fighter has been a mainstay of competitive gaming ever since Guile threw his first Sonic Boom.” Since Street Fighter II’s release in 1991 everything has changed. Now, fighting games are facing their biggest challenge to date. Low sales means less developers are willing to invest in fighting games and the genre could potentially end up as dead as the text adventure. At the same time, however, the fighting game community is in full bloom. As Justin Wong [professional fighting game player] states, “[The tournament scene] has grown substantially. Because of streaming and new technology, the numbers of tournament competitors and spectators has increased significantly.” While the games struggle to sell, the scene grows exponentially. Capcom fully understand that for Street Fighter V to succeed, they need to work with the fighting game community. “Capcom is committed to growing the community and giving the tournament players a real incentive to push the game further,” says Edwards.
