Desoneração Fiscal nas Operações com Livros na Reforma Tributária Brasileira
Authors: Queiroz e Silva Jules Michelet Pereira
Published: September 2021

O artigo analisa o debate legislativo a respeito da cobrança de tributos sobre a aquisição e a importação de livros na Reforma Tributária brasileira, notadamente no contexto do Projeto de Lei n. 3.887/2020, do Poder Executivo, que institui a Contribuição sobre Bens e Serviços (CBS). Estabelece premissas teóricas de avaliação da produção legislativa com instrumentos de teoria da legislação, em especial a análise de critérios de justificação racional das decisões legislativas. Dentre esses critérios, dar-se-á destaque à racionalidade pragmática e à teleológica, as quais se referem, respectivamente, à eficácia e à efetividade da legislação em cumprir os objetivos por ela enunciados. Diferencia, para fins de análise de impacto legislativo, a função instrumental e a função simbólica da atividade legislativa. Busca demonstrar, com base em pesquisas empíricas sobre os hábitos de leitura da população e o desempenho do mercado livreiro, que a legislação que garantiu isenção tributária de contribuições sociais para aquisição de livros não teve eficácia instrumental. Contudo, argumenta-se que o papel simbólico dessa legislação pode gerar embaraços a propostas de Reforma Tributária que não atentem à assimetria de informação, viés de disponibilidade, aversão a perdas e viés pelo status quo da população ante modificações da política fiscal sobre o mercado livreiro.

With all advantages, electric vehicles have a significant disadvantage — a relatively small driving range on a single charge of the traction battery compared to cars using hydrocarbon fuel. The solution to the issue is to choose a rational structural scheme of an electromechanical power unit to obtain its high energy efficiency regardless of the operating conditions. A significant number of electric vehicles produced today either do not contain gearboxes or contain single-speed reducers. The use of a multi-speed gearbox solves the problem of adapting the working processes of a traction electric motor to the loading conditions, bringing its efficiency as close as possible to the range of highly efficient values. Calculated estimation of energy consumption of the MAZ-4381EE electric delivery truck is carried out in the paper for various versions of the mechanical part of power unit: without a reducer, with the use of a reducer and two types of two-speed gearboxes (shaft and shaft-planetary). The evaluation is made based on consideration of the European test driving cycle NEDC, taking into account the use of efficiency maps of the traction induction electric motor. The calculation results showed that the use of two-speed gearboxes can reduce the total energy consumption by more than 1.8 times compared to a power unit with a high-torque motor and without a gearbox.

Features and requirements to the use of reheating of ring blanks in the conditions of production on the automated line are considered. An assessment is given for a technological temperature state of ring blanks at various stages of production under conditions of the automated line. For assessment of rational for reheating at production of ring blanks, a classification of ring manufacturing technology is proposed with the production of a pressed non-core blank in an open die, with the production of a pressed profile blank in a closed die, with the production of a pressed profile blank in a stamp with reverse extrusion. The technology of ring rolling with the production of a pressed non-core blank in an open die is the most economical and does not require the use of reheating in the manufacture of rings made of medium-alloy steels. The technology of ring rolling of a profile blank obtained in a closed die does not require the use of additional heating after pressing, in the case of manufacturing rings with a simplified profile on the outer or inner diameters of the ring. In the manufacture of rings with a more complex profile on the outer and inner diameters of the ring, as well as rings made of high-alloy steels, the final decision on the need for additional heating is made depending on the temperature of the end of intensive plastic deformation for the selected steel grade of the ring. The technology of ring rolling with the production of a pressed profile blank in a die with reverse extrusion requires the use of reheating after the pressing operation before the ring rolling operation, and is recommended for the manufacture of rings from medium- and high-alloy steels with a complex profile section on the outer and inner diameters, wall thicknesses, with a ratio of wall thickness to outer diameter D within h / D = 0.011...0.016 and with a ratio of wall thickness to ring height L within h / L = 0.020...0.041. The proposed recommendations are intended for use in the development of technological support for the operation of the automated ring-rolling complex at OJSC “BELAZ”.

Analysis of LGBTQ+ community acceptance in India
Authors:   10.47191/ijsshr/v4-i9-22, Goyal Manavi
Published: September 2021

The LGBTQ+ community has been mistreated socially, economically and politically in India. The discrimination they face stems from homophobic ideals within society that grow due to less education regarding the LGBTQ+ society. Queer people in India encounter issues with homophobia within society. While India’s LGBTQ+ related laws are moderately progressive compared to its neighbours, society is not as accepting towards the community. There are a lot of socio-cultural factors that cause these issues including history, religion and general societal norms. Moreover, due to the diverse urban and rural settings in India, the acceptance of the community is very different amongst different locations. The report includes multiple psychological theories in order to understand the reason behind why India has been moving so slowly in terms of accepting the LGBTQ+ community. The paper also explains India’s cultural factors to demonstrate how it influences the public. In general, I found that India finds comfort in establishing hierarchy and preserving group relations which is why I believe education and representation will have the most positive impact. Therefore, I proposed that the government implement educational and awareness programs as well as more representation in the media so that Indian society is more informed on what it means to be part of the LGBTQ+ community.

Published: September 2021

Climate change and the associated weather extreme events are a major threat to humanity as it affects agriculture and food security. Climate change disaster is on the increase as the global temperature keeps rising. Sub-Saharan Africa is one of the most vulnerable regions to climate change. The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has been complicated by climate change and related extreme events especially with the imposed lockdown which has affected the global economy. The COVID-19 has killed over 4 million persons with the USA, Brazil and India being the worst affected nations. Thus, the multi-hazard scenario presented by extreme events like drought, flood and cyclones this period of the pandemic worsened its spread as it affected social distancing and personal hygiene as many people are crammed in camps and water become scarce for handwashing. It is suggested for countries to strengthen their emergency department by boosting the staff component, provide adequate technical support and develop detailed plans for multi-hazard preparedness.

It is presumed that the level of physical activity (PA) declines during a person’s lifespan, particularly during adolescence. The main objective of this scoping review is to summarize and identify the current literature that addresses contributing factors related to adolescent physical inactivity. This scoping review was carried out using the framework suggested by Arskey and O'Malley. The literature review was undertaken using the reference period between 2008 and 2014, based primarily on the PubMed, Cochrane and Embase databases. Additional studies have been identified by a manual bibliography search. Search term included adolescent / youth / teenage, factors / determinants /correlations, and physical inactivity/decline exercise. A total of 23 studies met the inclusion criteria. This scoping review found some evidence of the association between physical inactivity and the following variables: Age, sex, socio-economic status, lack of social support from parents, family and friends have had an impact on their motivation to perform PA on a continuous basis. Also, the lack of awareness, attitudes, and practices of individuals themselves for not doing PA has affected their interest in maintaining PA. It is noted that the environment also plays an important role, such as inadequate facilities and facilities, as well as an unsuitable place or setting that is unconducive and a neighbourhood that does not take care of or is aware of a healthy lifestyle, is also a contributing factor to physical inactivity. The decline in PA during adolescence is a consistent finding in the literature. However, PA interventions should be developed through education, family programs, behavioural or environmental and policy changes.
Script Analysis for Theatre
Authors: Knopf Robert
Published: September 2021

Script Analysis for Theatre: Tools for Interpretation, Collaboration and Production provides theatre students and emerging theatre artists with the tools, skills and a shared language to analyze play scripts, communicate about them, and collaborate with others on stage productions. Based largely on concepts derived from Stanislavski’s system of acting and method acting, the book focuses on action - what characters do to each other in specific circumstances, times, and places - as the engine of every play. From this foundation, readers will learn to distinguish the big picture of a script, dissect and ’score’ smaller units and moment-to-moment action, and create individualized blueprints from which to collaborate on shaping the action in production from their perspectives as actors, directors, and designers.

Script Analysis for Theatre offers a practical approach to script analysis for theatre production and is grounded in case studies of a range of the most studied plays, including Sophocles’ Oedipus the King, Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night, Henrik Ibsen’s Hedda Gabler, Georg Büchner’s Woyzeck, Oscar Wilde’s The Importance of Being Earnest, Tennessee Williams’s A Streetcar Named Desire, and Paula Vogel’s How I Learned to Drive, among others. Readers will develop the real-life skills professional theatre artists use to design, rehearse, and produce plays.

ORIGEM E IMPORTÂNCIA FILOGENÉTICA DO CPDNA
Authors: Amorim Marianny Rodrigues Costa , Martins Letícia Oliveira , Caldeira Andreia Juliana Rodrigues
Published: September 2021

Introdução: O genoma do cloroplasto é mais conservado que o genoma nuclear e as mudanças de estrutura, ordem ou conteúdo de sequências do DNA cloroplasmático (cpDNA) são frequentemente usadas para mensurar a diversidade genética vegetal. Objetivo: Realizar uma revisão bibliográfica sobre a origem e importância filogenética do cpDNA. Material e métodos: foi realizada uma busca a partir de base dados como SciELO Brasil e Web of Science. Resultado: Cloroplasto é plastídio com DNA próprio. É considerada uma organela semiautônoma, devido a capacidade de sintetizar algumas proteínas. A origem evolutiva de plastídios está relacionada a antigos procariotos que viviam em simbiose dentro de eucariotos e que, ao longo da evolução, no ambiente citoplasmático, perdeu a maioria dos seus genes. Neste processo evolutivo, as bactérias precursoras do cloroplasto, transferiram parte de seu material genético para o DNA da célula hospedeira, contando assim com o genoma da célula hospedeira para produzir muitas de suas proteínas. O genoma cloroplástico é relativamente simples e possui uma estrutura circular com apenas 60 a 200 Kpb. Poucos genes cloroplasmáticos possuem íntrons e o espaço intergênico é pequeno, separados por poucos pares de bases. O número de proteínas codificadas pelo cpDNA é pequeno, mas o cloroplasto realiza sua própria replicação e transcrição de DNA e síntese proteica. Esses processos ocorrem na matriz, e, embora as proteínas que medeiam esse processo genético sejam específicas das organelas, a maioria delas é codificada pelo genoma nuclear, por isso o cpDNA é considerado uma organela especializada. Cada cloroplasto possui várias cópias do cpDNA e existem vários cloroplastos por célula. Isto multiplica o conteúdo da sequência básica de cpDNA por célula em dezenas a centenas de vezes. Conclusão: Estudos de cpDNA podem ser utilizados em várias áreas da biologia de plantas como: estudos evolutivos e filogenéticos (estabelecer relações filogenéticas entre espécies, gêneros e famílias), busca da base genética de doenças, clonagem gênica e reprodução, contribuindo para a expansão das pesquisas botânicas e agronômicas. Além disso, o sequenciamento de cpDNA revela características específicas de cada grupo de planta e de seu funcionamento, os quais podem ser amplamente aplicados através de técnicas da biotecnologia.
The Red Years of Cahiers du cinéma (1968-1973)
Authors: Fairfax Daniel
Published: September 2021

The uprising which shook France in May 1968 also had a revolutionary effect on the country's most prominent film journal. Under editors Jean-Louis Comolli and Jean Narboni, Cahiers du cinéma embarked on a militant turn that would govern the journal's work over the next five years. With a Marxist orientation inspired by the thinking of Louis Althusser, Jacques Lacan and Roland Barthes, the "red years" of Cahiers du cinéma produced a theoretical outpouring that was formative for the establishment of film studies as an academic discipline in the 1970s, and is still of vital relevance for the contemporary audiovisual landscape. It was also the seminal experience for a generation of critics who have dedicated the following half-century to the task of critically responding to the cinema.

The Red Years of Cahiers du Cinéma (1968-1973) gives a historical overview of this period in the journal's history, combining biographical accounts of the critics who were involved with Cahiers in the post-1968 and theoretical explorations of the text they wrote. Volume I focuses on the relationship of film with the spheres of ideology and politics.
Rembrandt. The Painter Thinking
Authors: Wetering Ernst , Poelstra Wardy
Published: September 2021

Even during the artist's lifetime, contemporary art lovers considered Rembrandt van Rijn (1606-1669) to be an exceptional artist. In this revelatory sequel to the acclaimed Rembrandt: The Painter at Work, renowned Rembrandt authority Ernst van de Wetering investigates the painter's considerations that determined the striking changes in his development from an early age onwards.

This gorgeously illustrated book explores how Rembrandt achieved mastery by systematic exploration of the 'foundations of the art of painting'. According to written sources from the seventeenth century, which were largely misinterpreted until now, these 'foundations' were considered essential at that time. From his first endeavours in painting, Rembrandt embarked on a journey past these foundations, thus becoming the 'pittore famoso', whom Count Cosimo the Medici visited at the end of his life. Rembrandt never stopped searching for solutions to the pictorial problems that confronted him; this led over time to radical changes that cannot simply be attributed to stylistic evolution or natural development.

In a quest as rigorous and novel as the artist's, Van de Wetering reveals how Rembrandt became the revolutionary painter that would continue to fascinate the art world. This ground breaking exploration reconstructs Rembrandt's theories and methods, shedding new light both on the artist's exceptional accomplishments and on the theory and practice of painting in the Dutch Golden Age.
The Meaning of Music
Authors: Samama Leo
Published: September 2021

For virtually all of our lives, we are surrounded by music. From lullabies to radio to the praises sung in houses of worship, we encounter music at home and in the street, during work and in our leisure time, and not infrequently at birth and death. But what is music, and what does it mean to humans? How do we process it, and how do we create it?

Musician Leo Samama discusses these and many other questions while shaping a vibrant picture of music's importance in human lives both past and present. What is remarkable is that music is recognised almost universally as a type of language that we can use to wordlessly communicate. We can hardly shut ourselves off from music, and considering its primal role in our lives, it comes as no surprise that few would ever want to. Able to transverse borders and appeal to the most disparate of individuals, music is both a tool and a gift, and as Samama shows, a unifying thread running throughout the cultural history of mankind.
Film History as Media Archaeology
Authors: Elsaesser Thomas
Published: September 2021

Since cinema has entered the digital era, its very nature has come under renewed scrutiny. Countering the 'death of cinema' debate, Film History as Media Archaeology presents a robust argument for the cinema's current status as a new epistemological object, of interest to philosophers, while also examining the presence of moving images in the museum and art spaces as a challenge for art history. The current study is the fruit of some twenty years of research and writing at the interface of film history, media theory and media archaeology by one of the acknowledged pioneers of the 'new film history' and 'media archaeology'. It joins the efforts of other media scholars to locate cinema's historical emergence and subsequent transformations within the broader field of media change and interaction, as we experience them today.
Art and Ocean Objects of Early Modern Eurasia
Authors: Grasskamp Anna
Published: September 2021

During the early modern period, objects of maritime material culture were removed from their places of origin and traded, collected and displayed worldwide. Focusing on shells and pearls exchanged within local and global networks, this monograph compares and connects Asian, in particular Chinese, and European practices of oceanic exploitation in the framework of a transcultural history of art with an understanding of maritime material culture as gendered. Perceiving the ocean as mother of all things, as womb and birthplace, Chinese and European artists and collectors exoticized and eroticized shells’ shapes and surfaces. Defining China and Europe as spaces entangled with South and Southeast Asian sites of knowledge production, source and supply between 1500 and 1700, the book understands oceanic goods and maritime networks as transcending and subverting territorial and topographical boundaries. It also links the study of globally connected port cities to local ecologies of oceanic exploitation and creative practices.
Exploration, Religion and Empire in the Sixteenth-century Ibero-Atlantic World
Authors: Nieto Olarte Mauricio
Published: September 2021

The Iberian conquest of the Atlantic at the beginning of the sixteenth century had a notable impact on the formation of the new world order in which Christian Europe claimed control over most a considerable part of the planet. This was possible thanks to the confluence of different and inseparable factors: the development of new technical capacities and favorable geographical conditions in which to navigate the great oceans; the Christian mandate to extend the faith; the need for new trade routes; and an imperial organization aspiring to global dominance.

The author explores new methods for approaching old historiographical problems of the Renaissance—such as the discovery and conquest of America, the birth of modern science, and the problem of Eurocentrism—now in reference to actors and regions scarcely visible in the complex history of modern Europe: the ships, the wind, the navigators, their instruments, their gods, saints, and demons.
Growing Up Communist in the Netherlands and Britain
Authors: Weesjes Elke
Published: September 2021

Growing Up Communist in the Netherlands and Britain: Childhood, Political Activism, and Identity Formation documents communists’ attempts, successful and otherwise, to overcome their isolation and to connect with the major social and political movements of the twentieth century. Communist parties in Britain and the Netherlands emerged from the Second World War expecting to play a significant role in post-war society, due to their domestic anti-fascist activities and to the part played by the Soviet Union in defeating fascism. The Cold War shattered these hopes, and isolated communist parties and their members. By analysing the accounts of communist children, Weesjes highlights their struggle to establish communities and define their identities within the specific cultural, social, and political frameworks of their countries.
Heritage and the Making of Political Legitimacy in Laos
Authors: Wilcox Phill
Published: September 2021

The Lao People’s Democratic Republic is nearly fifty years old, and one of the few surviving one-party socialist states. Nearly five decades on from its revolutionary birth, the Lao population continues to build futures in and around a political landscape that maintains socialist rhetoric on the one hand and capitalist economics on the other. Contemporary Lao politics is marked by the use of cultural heritage as a source of political legitimacy. Researched through long-term detailed ethnography in the former royal capital of Luang Prabang, itself a UNESCO-recognized World Heritage Site since 1995, this book takes a fresh look at issues of legitimacy, heritage, and national identity for different members of the Lao population. It argues that the political system has become sufficiently embedded to avoid imminent risk of collapse but suggests that it is facing new challenges primarily in the form of rising Chinese influence in Laos.

The introduction of English as a medium of instruction (EMI) has changed higher education enormously in many European countries. This development is increasingly encapsulated under the term Englishization, that is, the increasing dispersion of English as a means of communication in non-Anglophone contexts. Englishization is not undisputed: legal challenges have arisen in several countries. Nor is it uniform; universities across Europe embrace Englishization, but they do so in their own way. In this volume, authors from 15 European countries present analyses from a range of perspectives coalescing around core concerns: the quality of education, cultural identity, inequality of opportunities and access, questions of justice and democracy, and internationalization and language policy. This book will appeal to researchers in applied linguistics, sociolinguistics, educational sciences, and political science, as well as policy makers and people with a concern about the direction of higher education.
Ethnic Identity and the Archaeology of the aduentus Saxonum
Authors: Harland James M.
Published: September 2021

For centuries, archaeologists have excavated the soils of Britain to uncover finds from the early medieval past. These finds have been used to reconstruct the alleged communities, migration patterns, and expressions of identity of coherent groups who can be regarded as ethnic 'Anglo-Saxons'. Even in the modern day, when social constructionism has been largely accepted by scholars, this paradigm still persists.

This book challenges the ethnic paradigm. As the first historiographical study of approaches to ethnic identity in modern 'Anglo-Saxon' archaeology, it reveals these approaches to be incompatible with current scholarly understandings of ethnicity. Drawing upon post-structuralist approaches to self and community, it highlights the empirical difficulties the archaeology of ethnicity in early medieval Britain faces, and proposes steps toward an alternative understanding of the role played by the communities of lowland Britain – both migrants from across the North Sea and those already present – in transforming the Roman world.
Writing the Liberal Arts and Sciences

Published: September 2021

Starting from informal cross-disciplinary conversations between colleagues, this volume is the result of an experiment in understanding the standpoints and methodologies of others in a multidisciplinary setting. At its heart are the core values of a liberal arts education: intellectual curiosity and the ability to communicate across borders. Written with the aim of communicating academic content to non-specialists, the essays interweave narratives about truth with various kinds of dialogue and the importance of historical consciousness. Together they illustrate the power of writing as a tool for strengthening a scholarly community.
Archaeological Approaches to and Heritage Perspectives on Modern Conflict
Authors: Schriek Max
Published: September 2021

From a wider disciplinary perspective, modern conflict archaeology is now a thoroughly established and mature subdiscipline. However, a significant problem conflict archaeologists in the Netherlands face is that modern eras, including both world wars, have so far not received serious attention. Although both world wars appeal strongly to the popular imagination, until recently, Dutch researchers had not approached modern conflict from an academic archaeological perspective to any great extent. This is partly the result of problematic legislation on archaeological activity in the Netherlands. When applied and interpreted appropriately, archaeology can play an important role in the preservation, contemporary experience and historical reconstruction of recent conflicts. However, as Archaeological Approaches to and Heritage Perspectives on Modern Conflict: Beyond the Battlefields argues, research methods other than excavations will be needed to conduct conflict archaeology in the Netherlands effectively. This study aims to develop a Dutch approach to conflict archaeology, integrating archaeology, heritage research and history at a landscape scale.
Traditional gender roles attitude and romantic partner conflict among males: A Correlational study

Social norms and roles can affect our behavior and intrude on our alternatives. On the flip, that has an impact on and strain to comply may be constraining, specifically for individuals and personal goals for individuals who are much less aligned with the norms and roles of the one. Throughout the college years, a person socializing will increase to plenty volume. Chances of having a romantic relationship increase in those years of lifestyle. Exploring and being curious approximately the opposite genders and the eagerness to be in a courting with the alternative gender boom at its height So, conventional roles can also make it more difficult for a few individuals to proportion their precise characteristics, live true to their personal socio-sexual preferences, and self-decide their conduct in relationships. Provided that those man or woman possibilities and behaviors are crit for enjoyable relationships is usually uncertain as to whether or not following conventional norms and roles of masculinity and femininity ultimately helps or hurts a relationship. Gender role attitude here refers to the beliefs held by individuals towards any specific gender as measured by the Gender Role Attitude Scale (GRAS). The instrument was developed by Prof. Dr. Simge Zeyneloölu to determine attitudes towards gender roles. Another scale used was Romantic partner conflict which refers to the everyday conflicts faced by individuals in relationships and how they handle the conflict. The scale was introduced by Tammy L. Zacchill, purpose of this scale is to measure conflict experienced by individuals in romantic relationships. The study aims at seeing the relationship between gender role attitudes and romantic partner conflict among males.

Published: September 2021

Currently, due to the impact of the scientific and technological revolution; besides the fourth industrial revolution, education in general and lower secondary education in Vietnam in specific has been changing and transforming in order to adapt to the new age. Educational management and school management play a directional role, which is one of the breakthroughs and decisive factors to the quality and effectiveness of education. And with the comprehensive and all-round impact of the fourth industrial revolution, the trend in change management in middle schools tends to be changed so as to compete on quality and efficiency to meet the increasing needs of learners as well as the increasingly strict requirements of society. By using a group of theoretical research methods and a group of practical research methods, this article focuses on analyzing and clarifying the content of the change management process in schools and the role of principals in school management of Vietnam’s secondary schools, which is shown through the process of leading the renewal of teaching activities at Ly Thanh Tong secondary school, District 8, Ho Chi Minh City. The study also shows the content of change management, the change management process in the school, the principal’s roles in change management in the unit as well as the relationship in the leader ship process, as evidenced by the teaching activities at Ly Thanh Tong secondary school, District 8, Ho Chi Minh City.
Current status of inflammatory bowel diseases in Korea
Authors: Yang Suk-Kyun
Published: September 2021

Background: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a disease of unknown origin that causes chronic inflammation of the intestines and is classified as either ulcerative colitis or Crohn’s disease. The incidence and prevalence of IBD in Korea have been rapidly increasing during the past three decades. This paper describes the current status of IBD in Korea.Current Concepts: Compared with western countries, genotypes and phenotypes of IBD in Korea demonstrate some distinct features, which may have an impact on the diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of IBD. We continue to experience some difficulties in making early and accurate diagnoses of IBD in Korea due to a low awareness of the disease and the high prevalence of infectious enterocolitis, such as intestinal tuberculosis, which needs to be differentiated from IBD. The treatment of IBD can be influenced by differences in genetic, environmental, and social factors. NUDT15 variants limit the use of thiopurines. Infectious diseases, including tuberculosis, hepatitis B, and cytomegalovirus colitis, are usually more common in Asia than in western countries and can adversely influence the management of IBD. Biologic agents, which have changed the treatment paradigm of IBD, are equally efficacious in Asian patients as in Western patients. However, their use is limited due to a strict Korean government health insurance reimbursement policy. The prognosis of ulcerative colitis in Korea may be better than that in western countries, as indicated by a lower colectomy rate. However, this difference is less distinct in Crohn’s disease.Discussion and Conclusion: IBD in Korea differs from that in western countries in many respects. With rapid increase in the prevalence of IBD in Korea, medical costs for IBD are expected to become a significant financial burden. Koreans need to be prepared for this eventuality.
Classification, diagnosis, and treatment of vascular malformations
Authors: Lee Joon Seok , Chung Ho Yun
Published: September 2021

Background: In the 1980s, vascular anomalies were divided into two major subgroups—vascular tumors and vascular malformations—based on the functional framework. This concept has been fundamental to the management of vascular anomalies and expanded and refined by the International Society for the Study of Vascular Anomalies. Vascular malformations are further sub-divided into several types; however, there are many cases with insufficient information about the disease.Current Concepts: Several instances have shown that the diagnosis of vascular malformations can be achieved after a careful evaluation of patient history and examination. However, recently developed imaging technology has been of great help in the diagnosis. Doppler ultrasonography, magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography scan, and angiography are valuable tools for diagnostic and therapeutic planning. Advanced diagnostic and therapeutic technologies have also provided more accurate and safer diagnoses and appropriate treatment. Recently, an improved method of managing vascular malformations has emerged, based on a multidisciplinary approach, which is very useful for increasing the treatment efficacy. The development of gene research has enabled the investigation of disease-related genes and the development of new medications.Discussion and Conclusion: Accurate diagnosis of vascular malformations is one of the most crucial factors in determining treatment plan and prognosis, based on which it would be possible to achieve effective results through appropriate management and a multidisciplinary team approach.
BƯỚC ĐẦU ĐÁNH GIÁ HIỆU QUẢ ĐIỀU TRỊ CỦA DECITABINE TRÊN NGƯỜI BỆNH LOẠN SINH TỦY TẠI BỆNH VIỆN TRUYỀN MÁU HUYẾT HỌC

Mục tiêu: Đánh giá hiệu quả điều trị và độc tính của việc điều trị Decitabine trên người bệnh loạn sinh tủy (MDS). Đối tượng và phương pháp nghiên cứu: Mô tả hàng loạt ca, các người bệnh được chẩn đoán MDS, thỏa tiêu chuẩn nhận vào và được điều trị với Decitabine 20mg/m²/ ngày x 5 ngày, từ tháng 01/2019 đến tháng 7/2021 tại bệnh viện Truyền máu Huyết học (BV.TMHH). Đánh giá đáp ứng điều trị theo IWG 2006. Kết quả: 32 người bệnh (18 nam, 14 nữ) được phân loại theo WHO 2016, chiếm tỉ lệ cao nhất là nhóm MDS tăng tế bào non-2 (MDS-EB2) (56,2%) và nhóm nguy cơ rất cao theo IPSS-R (56,2%). Người bệnh được điều trị từ 1 đến 11 chu kỳ Decitabine với tỉ lệ đáp ứng toàn bộ (ORR: CR+PR) là 21,9%; trong đó đạt đáp ứng hoàn toàn (CR) là 12,5% và đạt đáp ứng một phần (PR) là 9,4%. Đáp ứng tủy xương hoàn toàn (mCR) là 25%. Nhóm người bệnh điều trị >4 chu kỳ có tỉ lệ đạt ORR, CR; thời gian sống còn toàn bộ(OS); sống không tiến triển bệnh (PFS); sống không tiến triển thành AML (AMLFS) cao hơn nhóm điều trị ≤4 chu kỳ (p lần lượt: 0,032; 0,009; 0,007; 0,01; 0,009). Tỉ lệ người bệnh độc lập truyền hồng cầu, tiểu cầu tăng theo chu kỳ, tại chu kỳ 6 cùng bằng 40%. Thời gian theo dõi trung vị là 7 tháng với trung vị của OS;  PFS;  AMLFS lần lượt là: 12,3; 7,9; 11,6 (với độ tin cậy 95%). Nhóm người bệnh đạt PR/CR có OS và AMLFS kéo dài hơn nhóm không đạt (p lần lượt: 0,004; 0,016). Biến chứng độ III-IV thường gặp trong quá trình điều trị là: nhiễm trùng 68,7%; giảm bạch cầu hạt 68,7%; giảm tiểu cầu 65,6%; thiếu máu 56,2%;. Tử vong do biến chứng điều trị là 18,7% (chủ yếu do biến chứng nhiễm trùng kết hợp giảm bạch cầu hạt nặng). Kết luận: Sử dụng Decitabine trong điều trị MDS cho thấy hiệu quả trong giảm nhu cầu truyền chế phẩm máu, giúp cải thiện huyết học, đồng thời giúp kéo dài thời gian OS, PFS, AMLFS cho người bệnh, đặc biệt ở nhóm người bệnh có đáp ứng điều trị.
Through the Google lens : development of lecturing practice in photography
Authors:   , Du Plessis Liza Kim
Published: September 2021

This dissertation is a self-study that involves inquiring into my mentoring practice to change and improve my situation and find a sense of belonging. The centre of the inquiry into 'self' lies in the search and claiming of an identity that consolidates the development of my artistic, mentoring and research practices during my 'first time' employment experience, as a junior lecturer in a Photography program, 2009-2011. I reflect on three years of lecturing experience in a tertiary education setting at the Durban University of Technology, in which doing a Masters was obligatory. I entered this position, with little experience in research and lecturing or photographic expertise. During this study, I made myself known as osmosisliza, the name of the ‘cyborg’ who journeys in cyberspace. I claim to be a ‘photographer horticulturalist’, a mentor concerned with cultivating collective online spaces, to create movement to connect in cyberspace for social learning purposes. I ask “Who is osmosisliza?”. My class motto is “what you think, know and believe helps us all to be more”, a personal belief for building knowledge through exchange and collaboration with others. I employed a variety of free Web 2.0 applications, like Gmail, Blogger, Buzz, Picasa Web Albums, Google Bookmarks and YouTube to create online spaces in which I could position my living educational theory. I called this place the Google Lens (GL). The Google Lens formed the mechanism to cultivate communities of practice for social learning, to develop confidence, motivation and engagement. The Google Lens was also the repository for qualitative and quantitative data. Mostly I analyse verbal and visual text, writings, photographs and video exchanges between learners and myself archived in the Google Lens to address my research question and sub-question. Through the lens of Google I did action research to improve my practice, and analyse my development as a newcomer to academia. I investigate how successful I was in using the Google Lens to achieve my mentoring goals. I also made photographs during the process of this inquiry to visually address abstract identity dilemmas, concerns and thoughts in my place of work, to engage my ‘I’ in my ‘eye’ as photographer. I exhibit these in cyberspace. I call these electronic postcards. Electronic postcards are blog posts in a weblog called osmosisLIZA. I made 98 blog posts and sent 98 electronic postcards in this dissertation. An electronic postcard consists of a photograph, an illustration, labels and a text heading. In this document the electronic postcards run alongside the writings for this self-study, functioning as text and message of the experiences of a developing academic as well as evidence of the developmental questions I was continuously asking to improve my practice.
“Aunque las mujeres no son Homeros con basquiñas y enaguas y Virgilios con moño…”: Zayas y su arte de novelar
Authors: Özmen Emre
Published: September 2021

RESUMEN:
Las dos entregas de Honesto y entretenido sarao (1637 y 1647) son fruto de un planteamiento trabado, en el que la escritora hace literatura sobre cómo hacer literatura. El topos elegido (un sitio semi-privado), la reunión de varios personajes y el tono usado en un sarao con tintes de discusiones académicas obedecen a la finalidad de reflexionar sobre la literatura en sí y sobre el mundo literario. Zayas introduce sus reflexiones sobre la literatura en su propia creación literaria convirtiéndolas en un factor importante en la articulación narrativa de las dos partes de su obra.
ABSTRACT:
The two parts of Honesto y entretenido sarao (1637 and 1647) is a result of a meticulous approach, in which Zayas writes about "how to write". The chosen topos (a semi-private place), the reunion of various characters and the tone used in the soiree with overtones of academic discussions comply with her purpose of reflecting her thoughts about literature and the literary world. Zayas, introduces her reflections on literature in her own literary creation in a unitary structure of the two Saraos.
