Tesis sobre el tema "Komoren"

Below are listed publications on the Comoro Islands which have appeared since the publication of the extensive Comoros bibliography in Ottenheimer & Ottenheimer 1994 (& online at: http:/ /www.ksu.edu/sasw/comoros/combibl.cornoro).

Historically the culture of the Comoro Islands shows a strong relationship to the Swahili culture of the East African coast. Archeology, written and oral history have impressively documented these bonds dating back not less than a thousand years. The appearance of so called twarab in the first decades of the 20th Century once more demonstrated the closeness of this cultural imaginary that links the Comoros to the Swahili world, and beyond to include the predominantly Islamic cultures of the Western Indian Ocean. The paper is a first approach to the history of twarab on one island, Ngazidja, until the mid-1960s. It also addresses the question of language use, especially the relationship between East Coast and Comorian varieties of Swahili, and the influence of the Swahili poetic canon on the practice of Ngazidjan poets and singers. The orthography of names and place names follows Comorian conventions. A distinction is made between `twarab` and `taarab`, the former is the Comorian rendering and refers to the Comorian style, while the latter designates the East African Coast or Swahili variant.

Dans cette etude nous nous sommes fixé commee objectif principal la recherche des morphèmes nominaux altérés dans la langue courante et qui se manifestent au niveau des noms propres surtout au niveau des composés. Ces éléments nous permettront de mieux comprendre le système morphologique du comorien et compléter une etude en cours sur la morphologie des nominaux. L’étude morphologique du nom propre sera complétée par une étude syntaxique des différents éléments qui le composent. Les indications socio-culturelles et socio-linguistiques étant très significatives, nous introduirons une approche thématique qui nous éclairera un peu sur ce sujet.

The chamber compositions of Bohuslav Martinů is one of the important chapters in the composer's life, which belongs to a large part of his work. The aim of this work is to describe individual periods with a focus on his chamber works. The characteristics of these compositions depend on different life stages of the author and other circumstances that have strongly influenced the life of this composer. While in his childhood he began to compose rather minor compositions, he was able to get a scholarship in Paris during the student years and to study under the direction of important composer A. Roussel. The situation during the Second World War unfortunately forced him to immigrate to America. There he composed his most important works and after the war he returned to Europe.

My graduation theses is focused on the summary of facts and data in the life-story of Prague chamber ballet and also its predecessor Ballet Prague. This phenomenal ballet company plays an important role in the history of the Czech dance art, despite of the fact that the conditions for its existence have always been on the very edge of sustainability. It is hard to believe that in spite of the essential lack of financial security the company could manage to stay high on the top of our art scene with honour and its own high standard character for 33 years and was able to represent czech culture abroad. It obviously is the merit of Pavel Šmok, the artistic director and chief choreographer of this "nomadic" chamber ballet company. One part of my theses contains also a questionnaire that tries to answer what is the opinion on the current status of PKB. Unfortunately, it looks like there are not many people left with a belief in its future. But my belief is that this company will get over its crisis years.

The diploma thesis deals with the concept of a high-frequency chamber which serves for desiccation of emulsion consisted of oil and water where the contents of water is over 30% of the emulsion capacity. The high-frequency chamber works on frequency 2,45 GHz. The task was to design a numerical model in which a high-frequency thermic conjugated problem is solved. The design of a high-frequency chamber is made up considering the heat distribution in inhomogeneous environment as well as chemical and physical changes. The proportions of the high-frequency chamber can guarantee the biggest output transmitted from the source to the chamber with the emulsion desiccated and uniform layout of electromagnetic field. These criteria are necessary for smooth heating of the emulsion desiccated. In this diploma thesis, there were several numerical models with various proportions made up. Finally, the one with the shortest time of heating the emulsion in reference to emulsion capacity was chosen.

The diploma thesis deals with the design of testing equipment, a climate chamber in particular, to simulate external weather conditions. The chamber walls are made of socalled sandwich insulation panels. Based on the wall thermal properties, heat loss of the chamber was calculated. The conditioned air is supplied by a distribution channel at sides of the chamber. The exhaust air leaves the chamber in the ceiling zone. The ventilation unit is located on the ceiling. The design includes the integration of the UV lamp, simulating sunlight. The chamber will allow the weather effects on the microclimate inside a car to be studied. Furthermore, the sunlight simulations can be carried out in the chamber to detect polymers or varnish aging, and the fading of colours.

The master's thesis deals with the confirmation of temperature chambers, with the greatest emphasis on the determination of standard measurement uncertainty, both by the classical method (GUM) and the Monte Carlo method. It includes the design of a measuring system with data transfer to a computer using the USB communication interface and an analysis of the sources of uncertainty entering the system, which are then practically quantified. To obtain the data, a measuring experiment was carried out in the CVVOZE testing laboratory. The LabView program was used for virtual instrumentation, in which a measuring application was designed and created, which takes care of the collection and processing of measured data. The result of the application is, in addition to recording temperatures from all measured points in the chamber, also the standard uncertainty calculated by the GUM and Monte Carlo methods, including plotting a histogram from the results obtained by both methods in order to compare them. Finally, the achieved results are compared and evaluated.

This thesis is focused on biography of Bohemian Quartet. This ensemble was during the first quarter of 20th century one of world - class string quartets and members of this chamber music group were significant personalities in many domains.

Anotation The second most personal specialization of Antonín Dvořák is chambre music filled with lots of thoughtful values and precise composing. I have chosen several pieces to write about I consider highly valuable from an enormous amout of his great work. I am not using the elaborate reviews of his work, the aim of this work is more focused on overal overview of Dvořák?s life when he was working on these pieces of chambre music, on the conditions he lived in, during which the world had changed and also certainly affected his work. We can find slovanian features within the whole Dvořák?s work, it is either in the form of dances, instrumentation or simple features of harmony. I thoroughly searched for these features in the chosen works and these are put into the sample overview. There is also the publishing of the pieces ? publishing notes which attracted me with the original sound and small differences from the author?s handwriting. In the end there is mentioned a few looks at Dvořák?s work by famous authors.

Janacek´s artistic growth and possible influence of other composers on his work are discussed in the fuirst chapter. The second chapter reviews the fundamental structural components, style and expressiveness of Janacek´s piano compositions.

Humans are increasingly disconnected from nature. Urbanization, resource exploitation, and changes in ways of living have diminished people's access to nature. Exposure to nature is beneficial to human beings in many aspects. Researches in environmental psychology and public health have shown the positive impacts of nature connections for people's happiness, concentration, and restoration. In creating the living environment with the connectedness to nature, various researches have been invested, such as the study of green space in the living environment, the application of virtual nature in psychiatric and medical care, the implementation of natural scenery in augmented reality. However, the idea of imitating natural phenomena in the built environment via tangible building systems has not been explored yet. This thesis aims to provide people with the perception of connectedness to nature in the built environment by embedding the sensory experience of nature, Komorebi, in the building system. Komorebi is a Japanese term that describes the dappled sunlight filtered through tree foliage. Through analysis of this visual effect and experimenting with various materials and actuators, a daylight-filtering system is developed to bring the dappled light phenomenon into the built environment. Environmental performance simulations of the Komorebi system is conducted in comparison with no-shading and the Venitian blind. The system builds on the existing infrastructure to integrate elements of improvisational nature into the building system, creating natural sensory experiences in the built environment. In practice, it would have great potential at places where natural connections are limited, and relinking occupants to nature would be highly beneficial. The impact of this work includes 1) creating a port for people who have limited access to nature due to work demand or mobility limitation, 2) invoking people's memories in nature, and encouraging more exposure to nature.

Cilj: Kod trećine bolesnika sa akutnim ST-eleviranim infarktom (STEMI) nakon primarne angioplastike (pPCI) razvije se postinfarktno remodelovanje leve komore (LK). Cilj istraživanja je nalaženje ranih prediktora post-infarktnog remodelovanja leve komore nakon akutnog STEMI i pPCI. Metodologija: Uključeno je 210 ispitanika sa prvim akutnim STEMI prednjeg zida, lečenih pPCI. Urađena je ehokardiografija u prva 24h, a zatim nakon 6 meseci, kada su ispitanici podeljeni u 2 grupe: ispitivanu sa remodelovanjem (n=55; 26%) i kontrolnu bez remodelovanja (n=155; 74%). Ispitanici su klinički praćeni godinu dana. Rezultati i dikusija: Multivarijantnom regresionom analizom, kao najsnažniji rani prediktori post-infarktnog remodelovanja izdvojili su se: postojanje "no reflow" fenomena nakon pPCI (OR=30.0 95% CI, p<0.0001), pojava dijastolne disfunkcije u prva 24h (OR=27.7 95% CI, p<0.0001), povećan dijametar leve pretkomore - LA (OR=5.0 95% CI, p=0,044) i srčana slabost na prijemu - Killip klasa 2-4 (OR=3.4 95% CI, p=0.003.). Univarijantnom regresionom analizom, snažni prediktori su neadekvatna rezolucija ST segmenta - STR (OR 2.0 95% CI, p=0.024) i zbirni indeks zidne pokretljivosti – WMSI >2 (OR 21.6 95% CI, p<0.0001). Totalno ishemijsko vreme nije imalo uticaja na post-infarktno remodelovanje (p=0.546). Tokom jednogodišnjeg praćenja ispitanici sa post-infarktnim remodelovanjem su imali značajno veću incidencu glavnih neželjenih kardioloških događaja: rehospitalizacija (61.8% vs 22.6%; p<0.0001) / najviše rehospitalizacija zbog srčane slabosti (40% vs 2.6%; p<0.0001), sa mortalitetom 5.5%/; reinfarkta (20% vs 7.1%; p=0.007); rekoronarografija (45.5% vs 18.1%; p<0.0001); revaskularizacija (30.9% vs 11%; p=0.001). Zaključak: Kod pacijenata sa akutnim STEMI prednjeg zida lečenih pPCI, pojava "no reflow" fenomena, dijastolne disfunkcije, povećana LA i srčana slabosti na prijemu su najjači rani nezavisni prediktivni faktori za nastanak post-infarktnog remodelovanja. Značajni prediktori su i neadekvatna STR i WMSI>2. Pacijenti sa post-infarktnim remodelovanjem imaju veću incidencu glavnih neželjenih kardioloških događaja i mortaliteta.
Objective: Patients with ST-elevated myocardial infarction (STEMI) treated by primary angioplasty (pPCI) will develop left ventricular (LV) remodeling in one third of the cases. The purpose of this study is to determine early predictors of LV remodeling after acute STEMI and pPCI. Methods: 210 patients with a first acute anterior STEMI treated by pPCI were included. All participants underwent echocardiography in the first 24hrs and again after 6 months, after which they were divided into two groups: remodeling (n=55; 26%) and nonremodeling (n=155; 74%). Results and discussion: The most powerful independent early predictors were: "no reflow" after pPCI (OR=30.0 95% CI, p<0.0001), diastolic dysfunction in the first 24hrs (OR=27.7 95% CI, p<0.0001), increased diameter of the left atrium - LA (OR=5.0 95% CI, p=0.044) and at admission Killip class 2-4 (OR=3.4 95% CI, p=0.003), by multivariant regression analysis. Also, strong predictors were incomplete ST-resolution - STR (OR 2.0 95% CI, p=0.024) and Wall motion score index - WMSI >2 (OR 21.6 95% CI, p<0.0001), by univariant regression analysis. Total ischaemic time had no influence on LV remodeling. The group with remodeling had more frequent major adverse cardiac events (MACE) during one year follow-up: re-hospitalisation (61.8% vs 22.6%; p<0.0001) / mostly re-hospitalisation due to heart failure (40% vs 2.6%; p<0.0001) and mortality 5.5%; reinfarction (20% vs 7.1%; p=0.007); recoronagraphy (45.5% vs 18.1%; p<0.0001); revascularisation (30.9% vs 11%; p=0.001). Conclusion: For the patients with a first acute anterior STEMI, treated by pPCI, development of "no reflow" after pPCI, diastolic dysfunction, increased LA and heart failure on admission are the most powerful early independent predictors for LV remodeling. Incomplete STR and WMSI>2 are strong predictors too. Remodeling patients will have a more frequent incidence of MACE and mortality.

Master thesis examines a selected part of electromagnetic compatibility. In this work, there is theoretically discussed how electromagnetic interference appears and how is spread through free space environment. To eliminate ambient interference signals, the measurements have been performed in anechoic chamber where the undesirable interference signals were suppressed. In the thesis, there are also described parameters of EMI receivers and limits of electromagnetic interference. The description of calculations of the antenna height for finding maximum intensity of electric field strength for standard measurement distance has been made. For proposed transformed measurement distance, calculations of intensity electric field with addition of parameters measuring antenna and object under test were performed. Correction curves for conversion intensity electric field have been obtained as the result.

Last but not least, it is to help to extend their horizons in musical history.

Cilj: Svrha ovog istraživanja je da se odredi uticaj promena u funkciji, morfologiji i geometriji leve komore (LK) i odusustva očuvanog dnevno-noćnog profila krvnog pritiska (KP) na intrauterini zastoj u rastu fetusa (IUGR) i preterminsko završavanje trudnoće kod gestacijske hipertenzije (GH), reverzibilnost tih promena posle porođaja i povezanost GH sa prisustvom arterijske hipertenzije u porodici. Metodologija: U ovu studiju, koja je koncipirana kao prospektivna, uključeno je 90 trudnica, 30 normotenzivnih, 30 sa GH i dipping profilom KP i 30 sa GH i non-dipping profilom KP. Svim ispitanicama urađen je kompletan dvo-dimenzionalni, pulsni i tkivni Doppler ehokardiografski pregled i ambulatorni 24-h monitoring KP u trećem trimestru trudnoće i 6 nedelja posle porođaja. Rezultati i diskusija: U grupi trudnica sa GH značajno više su bili poremećeni parametri sistolne, dijastolne i globalne funkcije (EF, s’, E, A, E/A, E/e’, DTE, IVRT, IVCT, ET, Tei indeks, CO, CW, Ees), morfologije (IVSd, PLWd, RWT, masa miokarda, p<0,0005) i geometrije LK (abnormalna geometrija 67,7% vs 3,3% kod normotenzivnih, p<0,0005). Najizraženije promene bile su u podgrupi non-dippera. Posle porođaja registrovano je značajno popravljanje svih promenjenih ehokardiografskih parametara, a 96,7% ispitanica iz non-dipper podgrupe imale su očuvan dnevno-noćni ritam posle porođaja. U grupi sa GH utvrđeno je postojanje arterijske hipertenzije u porodici u 80% slučajeva u odnosu na 26,7% u kontrolnoj grupi (p<0,0005). Analizom rezultata utvrđeno je da su povećanje maksimalne vrednosti noćnog dijastolnog KP, indeksa mase miokarda i totalne vaskularne rezistence nezavisni prediktori IUGR-a, dok su povećanje prosečne vrednosti noćnog sistolnog KP i indeksa mase miokarda i smanjenje EF nezavisni prediktori preterminskog porođaja. Zaključak: Promene u funkciji i morfologiji leve komore i non-dipping profil KP kod GH imaju prognostički uticaj na pojavu IUGR-a i preterminsko završavanje trudnoće.
Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine the influence of changes in function, morphology, and geometry of the left ventricle (LV) and a non-dipping arterial blood pressure (BP) pattern on the intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) and preterm delivery in pregnant women with gestational hypertension (GH), reversibility of these changes after delivery and connection between BP in family with GH. Methods: This prospective study included 90 pregnant women, 30 normotensive, 30 with GH and dipping BP pattern and 30 with GH and non-dipping BP pattern. All participants underwent a complete two-dimensional, pulsed and tissue Doppler echocardiography and 24-h ambulatory blood pressure monitoring in the third trimester and 6 weeks after delivery. Results and discussion: Participants with GH had more impaired parameters of the LV systolic, diastolic and global function (EF, s’, E, A, E/A, E/e’, DTE, IVRT, IVCT, ET, Tei index, CO, CW, Ees), morphology (IVSd, PLWd, RWT, myocardial mass, p<0,0005) and geometry (abnormal geometry 67,7% vs 3,3% in normotensive, p<0,0005). The greatest changes were noticed in non-dippers. All changed echocardiographic parameters became improved, while 96,7 % non-dipper participants became dipper after delivery. Arterial hypertension in family was present in 80% women with GH vs 26,7% in normotensive (p<0,0005). Analyses revealed that maximum night-time diastolic BP, mass index and total vascular resistance were identified as independent predictors of IUGR. Average systolic night-time BP, mass index and EF were identified as independent predictors of preterm delivery. Conclusion: Changes in LV function, morphology and geometry and a non-dipping pattern of BP in GH predicts IUGR and preterm delivery.

Kardijalni biomarkeri u predviđanju operativnog rizika kardiohirurških bolesnika sa oslabljenom sistolnom funkcijom leve komore Evaluacija rezultata u kardiohirurgiji podrazumeva praćenje ishoda operativnog lečenja u određenom vremenskom periodu. Najčešće je to interval od 30 dana od datuma intervencije. Najčešći kriterijumi za praćenje su stopa mortaliteta i morbiditeta, dužina boravka u jedinici intenzivnog lečenja, ukupna dužina hospitalizacije i troškovi lečenja. Stratifikacija rizika podrazumeva da se bolesnici mogu podeliti u grupe u zavisnosti od broja i važnosti preoperativno utvrđenih faktora rizika, odnosno da se pre operacije može predvideti ishod hirurške intervencije kod svakog od njih pojedinačno. U Evropi je, u periodu između 1995. i 1999. godine, na osnovu multicentrične studije u 8 evropskih zemalja i 128 kardiohirurških centara u kojima je operisano 19.030 odraslih bolesnika, kreiran EvroSKOR - EuroSCORE (European System for Cardiac Operative Risk Evaluation) model za stratifikaciju rizika u kardiohirurgiji. Međutim, neminovne promene i napredak u operativnom lečenju doveli su do toga da je neophodno ažurirati postojeći sistem stratifikacije. Tako je 2012. godine u rutinsku upotrebu uveden novi sistem Euroscore II. Na Klinici za kardiohirurgiju Instituta za kardiovaskularne bolesti Vojvodine (IKVBV), EuroSCORE model uveden je u rutinsku upotrebu od početka 2001. godine. Analizom rezultata, posle dvogodišnje primene, pokazalo se da je model bio precizan, odnosno da nije postojala značajna razlika između očekivanog (3,7%) i stvarnog mortaliteta (3,47%). U poslednjih nekoliko godina, kod bolesnika kojima sledi kardiohirurška intervencija, u smislu razmatranja njihove prediktivne vrednosti, sve više pažnje se poklanja kardijalnim biomarkerima. Najznačajniji biomarkeri u kardiovaskularnoj medicini su: Troponin, Kreatin kinaza MB izoenzim (CKMB), N-terminalni pro B-tip natriuretski peptid (NT-proBNP), C-reaktivni protein (CRP), Laktat dehidrogenaza (LDH), Mokraćna kiselina (Acidum uricum). Ciljevi ovog rada su bili da se kreira model za predviđanje preoperativnog rizika kardiohirurških bolesnika sa oslabljenom sistolnom funkcijom leve komore na osnovu preoperativnih vrednosti određenih biomarkera i da se kreira novi model sa kombinacijom prethodnog modela i već postojećeg modela EuroSCORE II. Ispitana su 704 bolesnika sa oslabljenom sistolnom funkcijom leve komore, ejekcione frakcije manje ili jednake 50%. Bolesnici su operisani na Institutu za kardiovaskularne bolesti Vojvodine, od 20. januara 2014. do 20. aprila 2016. Kod bolesnika su urađene tri vrste operacija: revaskularizacija miokarda-koronarna hirurgija, hirurgija stečenih srčanih mana - valvularna hirurgija i kombinovane operacije. Od biohemijskih analiza, 24 sata pre operacije, urađene su sledeće analize: troponin I, kreatin kinaza, kreatin kinaza MB izoenzim, masena kreatin kinaza, laktat dehidrogenaza, C-reaktivni protein, NT-proBNP i mokraćna kiselina. Praćen je postoperativni mortalitet, postoperativni infarkt miokarda i postoperativni cerebrovaskularni incident i njihova povezanost sa preoperativnim vrednostima nabrojanih biomarkera. U studiju su bili uključeni svi bolesnici sa stečenim bolestima srca, stariji od 18 godina, kod kojih je ejekciona frakcija leve komore bila manja ili jednaka 50% i kod kojih su izvršene sledeće vrste operacija: revaskularizacija miokarda - koronarna hirurgija, hirurgija stečenih srčanih mana - valvularna hirurgija i kombinovane operacije - koronarna i valvularna hirurgija. Rezultati su pokazali da je postoperativni mortalitet bio 3,13%, da je postoperativni infarkt miokarda imalo 7,95% a postoperativni cerebrovaskularni incident 9,23% od ukupnog broja ispitanika. 1. Povezanost vrednosti biomarkera sa postoperativnim infarktom miokarda kod bolesnika sa oslabljenom ejekcionom frakcijom leve komore: povišene preoperativne vrednosti troponina I su bile povezane sa postoperativnim infarktom miokarda. Povezanost preoperativnih vrednosti biomarkera sa postoperativnim cerebrovaskularnim incidentom kod bolesnika sa oslabljenom ejekcionom frakcijom leve komore: povišene preoperativne vrednosti troponina I i CRP-a su bile povezane sa postoperativnim cerebrovaskularnim incidentom. 2. Analiziran je uticaj preoperativnog nivoa svih biomarkera, pojedinačno, na značajne neželjene kardijalne i cerebrovaskularne događaje - Major Adverse Cardiac and Cerebrovascular Events (MACCE) kao ishod posle operacije na srcu, kod bolesnika sa oslabljenom ejekcionom frakcijom leve komore. Dobijeni su sledeći rezultati: Preoperativna vrednost nivoa troponina I veća od 0,01μg/L i MACCE bili su povezani. Povećane preoperativne vrednosti nivoa C-reaktivnog proteina (CRP) i postoperativni MACCE bili su povezani. Povećane preoperativne vrednosti nivoa laktat dehidrogenaze (LDH) i MACCE bili su povezani. Zaključci ove teze su: 1. Nezavisni prediktor postoperativnog infarkta miokarda i značajnih neželjenih kardijalnih i cerebrovaskularnih događaja, kod kardiohirurških bolesnika sa oslabljenom sistolnom funkcijom leve komore, ejekcionom frakcijom manjom ili jednakom 50%, jeste povišena preoperativna vrednost troponina I. 2.Vrednost preoperativnog troponina I je slab marker za predviđanje postoperativnog infarkta miokarda i značajnih neželjenih kardijalnih i cerebrovaskularnih događaja, kod kardiohirurških bolesnika sa oslabljenom sistolnom funkcijom leve komore, ejekcionom frakcijom manjom ili jednakom 50%. 3. Na pojavu postoperativnog cerebrovaskularnog incidenta, kod kardiohirurških bolesnika sa oslabljenom sistolnom funkcijom leve komore, ejekcionom frakcijom manjom ili jednakom 50%, ne utiče nijedna od ispitivanih varijabli. 4. Nezavisni prediktori postoperativnog mortaliteta kod kardiohirurških bolesnika sa oslabljenom sistolnom funkcijom leve komore, ejekcionom frakcijom manjom ili jednakom 50%, na osnovu kojih je moguće kreirati prediktivni Model su godine starosti i povišene preoperativne vrednosti NT-proBNP. 5. Kreirani Model je dobar marker za predikciju ishoda posle operacije na srcu, kod kardiohirurških bolesnika sa oslabljenom sistolnom funkcijom leve komore, ejekcionom frakcijom manjom ili jednakom 50%. 6. Povišena preoperativna vrednost NT- proBNP može da bude dobar marker u predikciji smrtnog ishoda posle operacije na srcu kod bolesnika sa oslabljenom sistolnom funkcijom leve komore, ejekcionom frakcijom manjom ili jednakom 50%. 7. Model EuroSCORE II se pokazao kao slabiji marker za predikciju ishoda posle operacije na srcu kod kardiohirurških bolesnika sa oslabljenom sistolnom funkcijom leve komore, ejekcionom frakcijom manjom ili jednakom 50%. 8. Testiranjem kreiranog modela, podelom na manje rizične i više rizične bolesnike, u odnosu na visinu ejekcione frakcije leve komore, pokazalo se da je model dobar marker za predviđanje smrtnog ishoda posle operacije na srcu, u obe grupe.
Cardiac surgery operative risk assessment in patients with imapired systolic left ventricular function using cardial biomarkers Evaluation of results in cardiac surgery involves monitoring the outcomes of operative treatment in a given time period. Typically, this interval includes 30 days from the date of operation. The most common criteria used for monitoring are the rate of mortality and morbidity, length of stay in the intensive care unit, the total length of hospitalization and medical costs. Risk stratification means that patients can be divided into groups depending on the number and importance of preoperatively identified risk factors, and that the outcome of surgery for each of the patients can be predicted preoperatively. In Europe, in the period of 1995-1999 on the basis of a multi-center study in 8 European countries and 128 cardiac centers in which 19,030 adult patients were operated on, EuroSCORE (European System for Cardiac Operative Risk Evaluation) model for risk stratification in cardiac surgery was developed. However, the inevitable changes and progress in the surgical treatment rendered the EuroSCORE model obsolete warranting updated system. It was in 2012 when a new system EuroSCORE II was introduced into practice At the Clinic for Cardiac Surgery of the Institute of Cardiovascular Diseases, EuroSCORE model was introduced in routine clinical use since the beginning of 2001. By analyzing the results, two years after application, it was shown that the model was accurate, and that there was no significant difference between the expected (3.7%) and the actual mortality (3.47%) In recent years, in patients who are candidates for cardiac surgery, more attention is paid to cardiac biomarkers in terms of evaluating their predictive power. The most significant biomarkers in cardiovascular medicine are: Troponin, creatine kinase MB isoenzyme (CKMB), N-terminal pro B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), C-reactive protein (CRP), Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), and uric acid (Uric uricum). The objectives of this study were to create a model to predict preoperative risk for cardiac surgery patients with impaired systolic left ventricular function on the basis of preoperative levels of certain biomarkers and to create a new model with a combination of the previous model and already existing EuroSCORE II model. The study included 704 patients with impaired systolic left ventricular function, ejection fraction less than or equal to 50%. All patients underwent cardiac surgery at the Institute of Cardiovascular Diseases, from January 20th 2014 until 20th April 2016. Patients were submitted to three types of operations: revascularization - coronary surgery, surgery of acquired heart defects - valvular surgery and combined operations. Following biochemical analyses were performed 24 hours prior to surgery: troponin I, creatine kinase, creatine kinase MB isoenzyme, mass creatine kinase, lactate dehydrogenase, C-reactive protein, NT-proBNP and uric acid. Postoperative mortality, postoperative onset of myocardial infarction and occurence of cerebrovascular accident and their correlation with preoperative values of listed biomarkers were registered. The study included all patients with acquired heart disease, older than 18 years, with the left ventricular ejection fraction less than or equal to 50% who were submitted to the following types of operations: revascularization - coronary surgery, surgery of acquired heart diseases - valvular surgery and combined operations - coronary and valvular surgery. The results showed that the postoperative mortality was 3.13%, new onset of postoperative myocardial infarction was detected in 7.95% of the patients and postoperative cerebrovascular accident developed in 9.23% of patients. Correlation of preoperative biomarkers values with postoperative myocardial infarction in patients with impaired left ventricular ejection fraction - elevated preoperative troponin I were associated with postoperative myocardial infarction. Correlation of preoperative biomarkers values with postoperative cerebrovascular incident occurence in patients with impaired left ventricular ejection fraction - elevated preoperative troponin I and CRP were associated with postoperative cerebrovascular incident. The influence of preoperative levels of all biomarkers, separetly, on the rate of significant adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events - Major Adverse Cardiac and Cerebrovascular Events (MACCE) as the heart surgery outcome, in patients with impaired left ventricular ejection fraction. The following results were obtained: Increased preoperative levels of C-reactive protein (CRP) and postoperative MACCE were related. Increased preoperative levels of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and MACCE were related. The conclusions of this thesis are: 1. Independent predictor of postoperative myocardial infarction onset and significant adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events in cardiac surgery patients with impaired systolic left ventricular function (ejection fraction less than or equal to 50%) is elevated preoperative value of troponin I. 2. Preoperative Troponin I value was poor marker for predicting postoperative myocardial infarction and significant adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events in cardiac surgery patients with impaired systolic left ventricular function (ejection fraction less than or equal to 50%). 3. None of the studied variables showed influence on the postoperative cerebrovascular accident occurence, in cardiac surgery patients with impaired systolic left ventricular function (ejection fraction less than or equal to 50%). 4. Independent predictors of postoperative mortality in cardiac surgery patients with impaired systolic left ventricular function (ejection fraction less than or equal to 50%), that could be used to create a predictive model are: age and elevated preoperative value of NT-proBNP. 5. Developed model showed satisfactory results for predicting outcome after heart surgery in cardiac surgery patients with impaired systolic left ventricular function (ejection fraction less than or equal to 50%). 6. Elevated preoperative value of NT-proBNP may be a good marker for mortality prediction after the cardiac surgery in patients with impaired systolic left ventricular function (ejection fraction less than or equal to 50%). 7. EuroSCORE II model showed poor performance when predicting outcomes after cardiac surgery in patients with impaired systolic left ventricular function (ejection fraction less than or equal to 50%). 8. Validation of the newly-created model, considering low and medium risk patients, based on the value of left ventricular ejection fraction, showed that the model is a good marker for the mortality prediction in both groups.

Resumo: O tema desta pesquisa é a produção social de um santo católico. Para desenvolvê-la, parto de alguns pressupostos objetivando orientar minhas análises. Entendo que a produção de um santo, mais do que um fenômeno jurídico-teológico, possui uma dimensão social articulando e determinando a dinâmica deste processo. Para analisar esta questão, ocupo-me com o caso da produção da crença e da devoção ao padre salesiano polonês Rodolfo Komórek que viveu os últimos nove anos de sua vida em São José dos Campos, Estado de SP. Foi nesta cidade que, após sua morte em 1949, floresceu de forma efetiva sua santidade. Vários sãos os grupos envolvidos no processo de produção do santo, cada qual com seus interesses, objetivos e maneiras de participação. De forma clara existem dois que são principais: os especialistas do sagrado (representados por membros da Congregação Salesiana de São José dos Campos) e os devotos leigos. Os primeiros produzem uma série de bens simbólicos que eles mesmos distribuem para os fiéis objetivando encaixar o santo e a devoção a ele rendida nos moldes determinados pela Teologia. Os seguintes, mais do que meros consumidores desses bens, também são produtores ativos, pois, re-significam estes bens adaptando-os conforme suas necessidades contextuais. A primeira grande conclusão a que se chegou, a partir do estudo desta relação dialética entre especialistas do sagrado e leigos, é de que os bens simbólicos produzidos neste processo seguem um sentido de mão dupla, pois são gerados pela Igreja e lançados num campo social específico, depois são absorvidos pelos leigos, re-significados de acordo com as necessidades contextuais dessas pessoas e exteriorizados sob diversas formas, a mais óbvia é o próprio ato devocional. A segunda conclusão é de que cada etapa deste processo necessita da outra para que seu produto final seja efetivo. Este é um sistema que se retroalimenta e que também possibilita aumentar o capital simbólico dos produtores desses bens. Todas estas sanções e rituais de consagração que marcam as etapas pelas quais são atribuídos os bens simbólicos geram na verdade um sentido espiralar, ou seja, um sentido crescente na legitimidade do santo e também dos fazedores de santo.
Abstract: The theme of thios research refers to the social production of a catholic saint. To develop it, I start from some previous concepts aiminy to lead then to may analysin. I comprehend that the production of a saint, more than a theological-juridic phenomenon, also has a social dimension articulating and determining the dynamic of the whole process. To analyse this question, I occupy fully myself in the production of the belief and also in to the devotion to salesian Polish priest Rodolfo Komórek who lived his last nine years in São José dos Campos, São Paulo, Brasil. It was after his death in 1949, that his sanctity blossomed effectively in this town. Many groups are envolved in the process of the production of the saint, each group with their own interests and objectives. Ther two main groups: the experts on the sacredness and the non-experts. The first ones produce several symbolic assets which are distributed to the faithful people aiming to fit the saint ando devotion to him on the patterns determined by the Theology. The second group, more than consumers, are also manufacturers since they resignify these asset, adapting according to the context needs. The first great conclusion that came from this study of dialectual relationship between the sacredness and the layman, is that the symbolic assets manufactured in this process fallow two way traffic, since they are generated by the Church and launched into the specific social field, after that absorved by the laymen, resignified according to the contextual needs of the people and expressed on different ways, the most obvious one is the devotion act itself. The second conclusion is that each stage process needs one another to come to the final effective product. The system feeds it self and also makes possible increase the symbolic capital assets of the manufacturers. All these sanctions and rituals of the consecration that mark the stage on the symbolic assets are attributed and they generate, in fact, a coil sense, in other words, a crescentic sense of legitimating of the saint and the making saints.

This Master’s project deals with general aspects and possible solution of effective shielded cover and cell/chamber shielding measurement for needs of electromagnetic compatibility EMC on the basis of available norms and standards. Electromagnetic shielding is one of the most anticlutter means of EMC. Its main task is reduction of disturbing emission at the side of sources of disturbing signals as well as electromagnetic resistance increase at the side of disturbing signal receivers. Shielding is considered to be an important structural means to reduce electromagnetic field referring to a defined space part. Technical means for achieving the given goals are called shielded covers or shielded cells/chambers. Shielding is one of highly effective methods related to electromagnetic protection, for instance against power/output disturbance. To express the shielding quality so called shielding effectiveness SE is used. It represents logarithmic rate of shielding coefficient that is defined by the intensity ratios of electric and magnetic fields in a certain point of the shielded space to electric or magnetic field intensity incident/impinging on the shielded screen or wall.
