The COVID-19 pandemic caused by SARS-CoV-2 is the greatest medical problem of our time. The presence of concomitant cardiovascular pathology in a patient predisposes to a severe course and the formation of adverse outcomes of COVID-19. It is currently known that SARS-CoV-2 infection leads, on the one hand, to exacerbation and decompensation of the patient's cardiovascular disease, on the other hand, it is the origin of acute cardiovascular pathology. Understanding the impact of COVID-19 on the cardiovascular system is essential for providing comprehensive care to critically ill patients. In this review, we summarize the rapidly changing data on cardiovascular damage associated with COVID-19.

The COVID-19 pandemic caused by SARS-CoV-2 is the greatest medical problem of our time. The presence of concomitant cardiovascular pathology (CVD) in a patient predisposes to a severe course and the formation of adverse outcomes of COVID-19. It is currently known that SARS-CoV-2 infection leads, on the one hand, to exacerbation and decompensation of the patient's CVD, and, on the other hand, it is the origin of acute CVD. Understanding the impact of COVID-19 on the cardiovascular system is essential to provide comprehensive care for critically ill patients. In this review, we summarize the rapidly changing data on cardiovascular damage associated with COVID-19.

Annotation. For the cases of cardiovascular pathology during pregnancy include hypertensive disorders, hypercholesterolemia, myocardial infarction, cardiomyopathy, arrhythmias, valve disease, thromboembolic diseases, aortic disease and cerebrovascular pathology. Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death from pregnancy in the world. Raising maternal age and comorbid diseases contribute to increased maternal mortality, also. When searching for literature, we used Medline systems from PubMed (2011). The search was adapted for Embase (2015 - 2021) and Scopus (2017 - 2021). Inclusion criteria were as follows: the impact of diseases of the cardiovascular system on pregnancy; the impact of pregnancy on the course of cardiovascular disease; features of diagnosis and prevention of women with CVD at the stage of preconception and during pregnancy; safety of drugs for the treatment of cardiovascular pathology during pregnancy; choice of drugs to prevent perinatal pathology in women with CVD; features of antenatal observation in CVD. We excluded from the study: references to 2011 (more than 10 years); not English; all methods that were not directly related to the pathology of the cardiovascular system during pregnancy; concomitant diseases that can lead to aggravation of pregnancy; animal studies. As a result, 76 studies were identified that were subject to final inclusion in the systematic review. Analysis of the identified literature sources showed that the preconception reproductive strategy to be developed by a multidisciplinary cardio-obstetric team is becoming important for women with a history of cardiovascular disease or for those with a history of familial preeclampsia. Cardio-obstetrics has become as an important multidisciplinary industry that requires a team approach to optimizing the clinical management of cardiovascular disease during pregnancy. Timely involvement of the cardio-obstetric group is crucial to prevent maternal morbidity and mortality during pregnancy and 1 year after delivery. A general understanding of the importance of the impact of cardiovascular disease on pregnancy and the impact of pregnancy on existing CVD should be a basic area of expertise for family medicine professionals, cardiologists, obstetricians and gynecologists. The given scientific and clinical review of sources of evidence-based medicine contains certain features of predictor diagnosis, prevention and treatment of manifested forms of cardiovascular diseases during pregnancy.

Introduction:The high level of morbidity and mortality from cardiovascular disease is largely due toinsufficient influence on the main risk factors that contribute to the development of myocardial infarction.Therefore, a detailed study and assessment of risk factors is among the most important problems of medical and social importance. The aim: To study and evaluate the impact of biological, social and hygienic, social and economic, psychological, natural and climatic risk factors on the development of myocardial infarction. Materials and methods: A sociological survey was conducted in 500 people aged 34 to 85. They were divided into two groups. The main group consisted of 310 patients with myocardial infarction. The control group consisted of 190 practically healthy people, identical by age, gender and other parameters, without diseases of the cardiovascular system. Results: It was defined that 30 factors have a significant impact on the development of myocardial infarction.Data analysis revealed that the leading risk factors for myocardial infarction were biological and socio-hygienic. The main biological factors were: hypertension and hypercholesterolemia. The man socio-hygienic factor was smoking. Conclusions: Identification of risk factors provides new opportunities for the development of more effective approaches for the prevention and treatment of myocardial infarction.

This book examines the impact that Athenian Old Comedy had on Greek writers of the Imperial era. It is generally acknowledged that Imperial-era Greeks responded to Athenian Old Comedy in one of two ways: either as a treasure trove of Atticisms, or as a genre defined by and repudiated for its aggressive humor. Worthy of further consideration, however, is how both approaches, and particularly the latter one that relegated Old Comedy to the fringes of the literary canon, led authors to engage with the ironic and self-reflexive humor of Aristophanes, Eupolis, and Cratinus. Authors ranging from serious moralizers (Plutarch and Aelius Aristides) to comic writers in their own right (Lucian, Alciphron), to other figures not often associated with Old Comedy (Libanius) adopted aspects of the genre to negotiate power struggles, facilitate literary and sophistic rivalries, and provide a model for autobiographical writing. To varying degrees, these writers wove recognizable features of the genre (e.g., the parabasis, its agonistic language, the stage biographies of the individual poets) into their writings. The image of Old Comedy that emerges from this time is that of a genre in transition. It was, on the one hand, with the exception of Aristophanes’s extant plays, on the verge of being almost completely lost; on the other hand, its reputation and several of its most characteristic elements were being renegotiated and reinvented.

I look at the impact of Zen Buddhism on western painters during the 1950s and 1960s, focusing on the monochrome in particular, in order to create a historical context for the consideration of transcultural dialogue in relation to contemporary painting. I argue that a consideration of Zen can offer a ‘middle way’ between conceptions of the monochrome (and art in general) often hobbled by models of interpretation that function within a binary opposition between ‘literalist/sensory’ on the one hand, and ‘intellectual/non-sensory’ readings on the other.

This thesis seeks to answer the question 'when, how, and why the Danish asylum system become more restrictive than the Swedish one between 1989 and 2001'. In the analysis of these reasons, a particular emphasis is placed on the different political perceptions of both countries’ welfare philosophies on the one hand, and their political culture on the other. The influence of anti-immigration parties on mainstream political culture is an important part of this analysis. Through a distinction between border and integration policy, it becomes clear that the Danish asylum policy becomes more restrictive in the second half of the 1990s, because of its focus on cultural integration as a duty to the welfare state. The thesis concludes with a discussion regarding the impact of (neoliberal) economic changes on solidarity within political culture.

Smoking and alcohol consumption is a growing trend among young people worldwide. The purpose of this study was to provide students with a comparative analysis of adherence to harmful habits (smoking and alcohol) on the one hand and the frequency of sports and academic performance on the other, taking into account gender differences. The research was conducted in 2019-2020 in 5 cities of Russia; the sample included 1500 people aged 18.4 ± 1.1 years, divided into three equal groups. The control (first) group had students who are not engaged in sports, and the second group comprised students practicing sports but not professionally. The third group was made up of student-athletes. All participants were surveyed to determine the frequency of adherence to harmful habits. In the control group, boys smoked 50% more often than girls (p ≤ 0.05), while in the third group, smoking among boys was registered 70 times less often (p ≤ 0.001). Alcohol consumption in controls was 0.5 times more likely among boys (p ≤ 0.05). Harmful habits affect young people's free time and reduce their academic performance and ability to practice sports.

This chapter highlights the role of technology-based universities in public-private partnerships (PPP) to strengthen and deploy the digital single market strategy. Moreover, it analyzes how these collaboration channels have link knowledge management as a tool for sustainable collaboration. Given the need to establish collaboration channels with the private sector, according to Lee, it is critical to establish the impact of sharing sophisticated knowledge and partnering at the same time. This chapter wants to highlights two relevant aspects of PPP: on the one hand, the importance of integrating the participation of a technology-based university with three objectives: (1) the coordination, (2) the funding management, and (3) the dissemination of results; and the other hand, the participation private sector that is represented by agile agents capable to execute high-value actions for society. With the recognition of these values, the investment and interest of the projects under way are justified by public-private partnership.

This study seeks to assess the impact of collaborative technologies on innovation at the firm level. Collaborative technologies’ influence on innovation is considered here as a multi-stage process that starts at adoption and extends to use. Thus, the effect of collaborative technologies on innovation is examined not only directly, the simple presence of collaborative technologies, but also based on actual collaborative technologies’ use. Given the fact that firms can use this technology for different purposes, collaborative technologies’ use is measured according to three orientations: e-information, e-communication and e-workflow. To achieve these objectives, a research model is developed for assessing, on the one hand, the impact of the adoption and use of collaborative technologies on innovation and, on the other hand, the relationship between adoption and use of collaborative technologies. The research model is tested using a dataset of 310 Spanish SMEs. The results showed that collaborative technologies’ adoption is positively related to innovation. Also, as hypothesized, distinct collaborative technologies were found to be associated to different uses. In addition, the study found that while e-information had a positive and significant impact on innovation, e-communication and e-workflow did not.

Chapter 8 discusses the impact of digital media on collective memory. The chapter examines both the positive and negative impact of digital and social media. On the one hand, the analysis notes how digital media provided the channels for memory mobilization and the archives for memory transmission. On the other hand, the analysis examines the problematics of memory balkanization. It explicates how political forces have shaped the development of digital and social media in Hong Kong and how competing representations of the Tiananmen Incident and commemoration activities are articulated and reinforced within distinctive memory silos.
