El fondo de renta en una comunidad tabacalera de Santander: (Un caso estructural)
Authors: Morales Gómez Jorge
Published: December 2020

En los estudios de comunidades campesinas se ha denominado fondo de renta o "rent fund" a la parte de los ingresos que el cultivador destina para cubrir una serie de exigencias que resultan de sus relaciones con personas o entidades, económicamente superiores, tales como los grandes terratenientes, prestamistas, intermediarios, el Estado, etc. En este pequeño trabajo se analiza cómo funciona ese fondo entre los tabacaleros de Santander, tomando un caso específico que se presta a la generalización; es la comunidad de Guane.
Stakeholder capitalism strategies and opportunities for corporate governance
Authors: Grove Hugh , Clouse Maclyn , Xu Tracy
Published: December 2020

Stakeholder capitalism is the notion that a company focuses on meeting the needs of all of its stakeholders: customers, employees, partners, the community, and society as a whole. In August 2019, 183 of the 206 Business Roundtable (BR) companies signed the BR Statement of the Purpose of a Corporation advocating stakeholder capitalism beyond the traditional shareholder capitalism. The major research question of this paper is whether companies who have committed to stakeholder capitalism are fulfilling their commitments and to provide some recommendations to their boards. We closely study the scrutiny from institutional investors and stakeholder capitalism report developed by KKS Advisors and TCP (2020). The findings show that the BR company signatories have failed to deliver fundamental shifts in corporate purpose to stakeholder capitalism (Bebchuk & Tallarita, 2020; Goodman, 2020). However, non-BR companies, primarily public benefit corporations (PBCs) and B corporations, have implemented stakeholder capitalism strategies and offer innovative stakeholder opportunities for corporate governance. The boards of BR companies should advocate for a more affirmative duty to stakeholders and consider converting corporate structures to develop stakeholder capitalism. Future research should continue to investigate this corporate governance opportunity.
SUPERORGANISM #1
Authors: Simona Koch
Published: December 2020

Philosopher and biologist Herbert Spencer described society in 1851 as a superorganism with organs, growth and disappearance. Later biologist William Morton Wheeler then used the term superorganism (1910) in relation to his work on ants. Since then, the idea has been developed in many directions.
The work "SUPERORGANISM #1 – Bengaluru" is inspired by a residence at the NCBS (National Center for Biological Sciences, Bangalore, India) and the conversations with various scientists, as well as the experience of the intense and vivid megacity of Bangalore.

Purpose: We designed a multicenter, retrospective study to investigate
the current trends in initial management of reflux with respect to EAU
guidelines in Urology clinics of our country. Materials and Methods: The
study group consisted of 1988 renal units (RU) of 1345 patients treated
surgically due to VUR between years 2003-2017 in 9 different
institutions. Patients were divided into 2 groups according to time of
initial treatment and also grouped according to risk factors by “EAU
guidelines on VUR”. Results: 1426 RUs were treated initially
conservatively and 562 RUs were initially treated with surgery. In
initially surgically treated group, success rates of surgery decreased
significantly in low and moderate risk groups after 2013 (p=0.046,
p=0.0001, respectively), while success rates were not significantly
different in high risk group (p=0.46). While 26.6% of patients in low
risk group were initially surgically treated before 2013, this rate has
increased to 34.6% after 2013, but the difference was not statistically
significant (p=0.096). However, performing surgery as the initial
treatment approach increased significantly in both moderate and high
risk groups (p=0.000 and p=0.0001, respectively) after 2013. Overall
success rates of endoscopic and UNC operations were 65% and 92.9%
before 2013, 60% and 78.5% after 2013, respectively. Thus the overall
success rate for surgery was 72.6%. There was significant difference
between success rates of UNC operations before and after 2013(p=0.000),
while the difference was not significant in the STING group (p=0.076).
Conclusion: Current trends in management of reflux in our country do not
yet follow the EAU guidelines on VUR in low and moderate risk groups.

ABSTRACT Objective: We aimed to investigate the prognostic significance
of intraductal carcinoma in radical prostatectomy (RP) specimens and
predictive value of IDC-P for biochemical recurrence and adjuvant
therapy decision. Method: Patients who underwent RP between 2000-2014
with final pathological stage pT3a and negative surgical margins (Group
1, n=35) and pT2 with positive surgical margins (Group 2, n=32) were
included. RP specimens were re-evaluated for the presence of IDC-P
component and other prognostic factors. In both groups, prognostic
factors were compared according to the presence of IDC-P and biochemical
recurrence status. Results: In group 1, IDC-P was detected in 5 cases
and biochemical recurrence was detected in 3 cases. Patients with IDC-P
showed significantly higher biochemical recurrence than those without
IDC-P (p=0.002). In univariate analysis, IDC-P was found to be
significantly associated with worse progression free survival
(p<0.001). In group 2, IDC-P was detected in 4 cases and
biochemical recurrence was detected in 10 cases. Also, tumor volume was
significantly higher in patients with IDC-P than those without IDC-P
(p=0.02). IDC-P was also significantly associated with worse progression
free survival in group 2 (p=0.033). Conclusions: In both groups, IDC-P
is a prognostic factor for progression free survival and / or
biochemical recurrence. Especially in these patients, presence of IDC-P
might be helpful for postoperative adjuvant therapy management decision.
Keywords: radical prostatectomy, intraductal carcinoma of prostate
(IDC-P), prostate cancer, biochemical recurrence, progression free
survival.
The association of lymphocyte phenotypes and outcomes after discontinuing eltrombopag in ITP
Authors: Oka Satoko , Nohgawa Masaharu
Published: December 2020

Eltrombopag is a highly effective treatment for immune thrombocytopenia
(ITP). Cases of durable remission after the discontinuation of
eltrombopag in adult ITP have recently been reported; however, the
frequency and mechanisms responsible for this phenomenon remain unknown.
In the present study, we examined the phenotypes of lymphocytes in ITP
to clarify whether they predict outcomes after the discontinuation of
eltrombopag. We examined 56 adult newly diagnosed ITP patients treated
with eltrombopag after a median time from diagnosis of 48 months. Among
the 38 patients who achieved complete remission, eltrombopag was
discontinued in 26. Among the 26 patients, 12 (46.2%) had an immediate
relapse after discontinuing eltrombopag and 16 (53.8%) showed sustained
response without additional ITP therapy, despite discontinuing
eltrombopag, with a median follow-up of 52 months. No significant
differences were observed in platelets, the median duration of
eltrombopag, the absolute number of T, B, and NK cells at the initiation
of eltrombopag between patients who sustained response and those who
relapsed after discontinuing eltrombopag. However, the number of B and
NK cells at the discontinuation of eltrombopag was higher in patients
who sustained response than in those who relapsed (p=0.022 and p=0.012,
respectively). The present results indicate that the absolute number of
B (≥ 0.20 x 109/L) and NK (≥ 0.36 x 109/L) cells at the discontinuation
of eltrombopag contributes to the prediction of outcomes.
Aortic Dissection During Pregnancy and Postpartum
Authors: Meng Xiangli , Han Jijing , Wang Li , Wu Qingqing
Published: December 2020

Patients with aortic dissection during pregnancy and postpartum period
exhibit high mortality. At present, a complete overview of aortic
dissection during pregnancy and postpartum period is lacking. This
systematic review includes 80 reports published from 2000-2020,
comprising a total study population of 103 patients with aortic
dissection. It was suggested that Stanford Type A aortic dissection is
more likely to occur in the third trimester, while Stanford Type B is
more likely to occur within 12 weeks postpartum. The most common risk
factor was connective tissue disease, with no other known risk factors.
Mode of delivery has no significant effect on the type of postpartum
aortic dissection. Reduced maternal and fetal mortality was observed
when patients with Stanford Type A aortic dissection occurring after 28
gestational weeks underwent aortic replacement after cesarean section.
Patients with Stanford Type B aortic dissection were treated mainly with
medication and/or endovascular repair. Contemporary management of
patients during pregnancy and within 12 weeks postpartum requires
multidisciplinary cooperation and includes serial, non-invasive imaging,
biomarker testing, and genetic risk profiling for aortopathy. Early
diagnosis and accurate treatment are essential to reduce maternal and
fetal mortality.
Development of a Risk-Factor System for Predicting Occurence of Breast Cancer Using Fuzzy Logic
Authors: Fabiyi A.O. , Ogunleye G.O. , Onyeka N.C. , Amosa B.M.G.
Published: December 2020

The high mortality rate associated with cancer and the inability to detect the disease early has led to a catastrophic reduction in the rate of survivability of the disease in women. We have attempted to improve on the rate of survival by using Fuzzy logic to develop a risk factor system for detection of breast cancer. The system has been implemented using the Mamdani fuzzy logic approach in MATLAB. A graphical user interface (GUI) has been developed using Microsoft Visual Studio 2012. The GUI was powered by a Fuzzy Logic Library and Visual C# was used as its programming language. Keywords: Breast Cancer, Disease, Risk factor, Fuzzy Logic.
Uncovering Injustices in the Green Transition: Sámi Rights in the Development of Wind Energy in Sweden
Authors: Cambou Dorothee
Published: December 2020

This contribution is an analysis of how the rights of the Sámi to engage in reindeer husbandry are guaranteed in the green transition to renewable energy in Sweden. Consideration of the increasing number of court decisions addressing the impacts of wind energy on reindeer husbandry in Sweden raises significant questions about the fairness of the transition to sustainable development. The purpose of this analysis is to examine the impacts of wind energy on reindeer husbandry and uncover the justice issues raised by this development. Drawing on the discourse of just transition that includes distributional, procedural and recognition considerations, this analysis more specifically examines the distributive effects of the development of wind energy on reindeer husbandry and identifies how Sámi reindeer herders are included and their status and human rights as an Indigenous people recognised within this process. On this basis, the conclusion from this study is that systemic reforms of the Swedish system that take due consideration of the human rights of the Sámi as an Indigenous people must be implemented in order to ensure a transition to sustainable development that equally benefits Sámi reindeer herders and can therefore provide justice for all.
Reflecting on the Role of the Arctic Council vis-à-vis a Future International Legally Binding Instrument on Biodiversity in Areas Beyond National Jurisdiction
Authors: De Lucia Vito , Nickels Philip Peter
Published: December 2020

Negotiations are ongoing to develop an international legally binding instrument (ILBI) under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) on the conservation and sustainable use of marine biological diversity in areas beyond national jurisdiction (BBNJ). If adopted, the ILBI will likely apply to parts of the Arctic Ocean where the Arctic Council has played an important role for ocean governance. This begs the question of what role the Arctic Council will play vis-à-vis a future ILBI, which is envisioned to “not undermine existing relevant legal instruments and frameworks and relevant global, regional and sectoral bodies” (UN General Assembly Resolution 72/249). Against this backdrop, this article reflects on the future relationship between the Arctic Council and the ILBI. In so doing, the article initially discusses possible meanings of the notion of not undermining and, more broadly, how the ILBI will likely determine its institutional relationship with relevant bodies for BBNJ. Based on that, the article provides a short overview of the role of the Arctic Council in Arctic Ocean governance and explores whether the Arctic Council would qualify as a relevant regional body that shall not be undermined by the future ILBI.

Published: December 2020

Introdução: desproporções esqueléticas são consideradas casos extremos de variação da tipologia facial, caracterizadas por grandes alterações da oclusão associadas a modificações funcionais. O tratamento é orto-cirúrgico, com reconstrução das bases ósseas por meio de cirurgia ortognática. Após essa cirurgia, o acompanhamento fonoaudiológico auxilia o paciente no reconhecimento da nova face e nas readaptações das funcões de respiração, fala, mastigação e deglutição. Objetivo: apresentar relato de caso clínico de cirurgia ortognática, em seguimento longitudinal de 10 anos, por meio de análise das avaliações fonoaudiológicas. Relato do caso: mulher, 26 anos, portadora de deformidade craniofacial do tipo Classe III, prognata, com queixa estética e de mastigação, com indicação de cirurgia ortognática. Foram realizadas cinco avaliações fonoaudiológicas, sendo: a primeira na fase pré-operatória, segunda no 19º dia de pós-operatório, terceira após três meses de reabilitação fonoaudiológica, quarta após quatro meses de manutenção dos resultados obtidos e a quinta após 10 anos da intervenção cirúrgica. Em avaliação pré-cirúrgica foi registrada alteração no padrão miofuncional relacionado às funções de mastigação, deglutição, fala e respiração. Após terapia fonoaudiológica observou-se melhora da musculatura de lábios, bochecha, masseter e postura de língua, bem como na amplitude dos movimentos mandibulares. Em 10 anos observa-se estabilidade nos padrões funcionais de respiração, posicionamento de língua em repouso, organização do padrão da fala, articulação, deglutição, assim como na autoestima da paciente. Considerações finais: o tratamento fonoaudiológico associado à cirurgia ortognática e à ortodontia mostrou evoluções e eficácia, para nesse caso, atingir satisfação da paciente aos novos ajustes do padrão miofuncional.

Objetivo: caracterizar as orientações sobre aleitamento materno, recebidas por gestantes e puérperas na cidade de Belo Horizonte, e investigar fatores que influenciam o aleitamento materno exclusivo, o uso da chupeta e da mamadeira. Métodos: trata-se de um estudo transversal observacional descritivo, do qual participaram 168 mães com média de 27,2 ± 6,6 anos de idade. Foi aplicado um questionário com questões a respeito das orientações recebidas no pré-natal e no pós-natal imediato e tardio. Os dados foram analisados por meio de estatística descritiva e foram obtidas as associações da idade da mãe e do bebê, escolaridade materna e orientações recebidas com aleitamento materno exclusivo, uso de chupeta e de mamadeira. Resultados: 132 participantes (78,6%) relataram ter recebido orientação em algum momento do ciclo gravídico-puerperal. As orientações ocorreram predominantemente no pré-natal, mas abrangeram o maior número de mulheres, 121 (91,7%), no pós-natal imediato, sendo que o profissional responsável variou conforme o momento em que essas orientações foram ministradas. A principal estratégia utilizada foi o aconselhamento individual abordando temas diversos, sendo os de maior ocorrência a pega do bebê, os benefícios para a mãe e para o bebê, o tempo ideal de aleitamento exclusivo e os cuidados com as mamas. A maior parte das entrevistadas, 126 (95,5%), afirmou que as orientações foram úteis e 101 (76,5%) disseram tê-las empregado. Somente a idade da criança apresentou associação com o aleitamento materno exclusivo e com o uso de chupeta e de mamadeira, sendo que, à medida que a idade da criança aumentou, houve redução da prevalência do aleitamento materno e aumento da frequência de uso de chupeta e de mamadeira. Conclusão: há carência de orientações no pós-natal tardio e necessidade de se rever as estratégias de orientação, visto que as práticas educativas não influenciaram a realização do aleitamento materno exclusivo e o uso de mamadeira e chupeta.

Modeling the plane radiation structures consisting of discrete elements
Authors: Andriychuk M.
Published: December 2020

Modeling the radiation pattern (RP) of plane arrays has been carried out using the strict electrodynamical solution of the respective direct problem that allows obtaining the representation of RP in the explicit operator form. The system of integral equations of the Hallen type is used for the determination of the current distribution in the apertures of radiators. The optimal excitation coefficients in apertures are determined while minimization of functional presenting the mean-square deviation of the given and synthesized amplitude RPs. The additional terms in the functions are applied for the minimization of radiation in a near zone of array and limitation on the values of excitation coefficients. The computational results demonstrate the quick convergence of the proposed iterative procedure and the ability to synthesize the prescribed amplitude RPs of the various types.

Published: December 2020

According to the analysis of literature sources, the statistical processing of measurement results is not always given due attention. Unfortunately, appropriate algorithms are often limited to simplified statistical procedures, without the proper justification of the objective function, including to check the quality of processing of random data. Therefore, the author plans to publish a series of articles on statistical modeling, which will include the results of original research by the author and others. In this article are considered the methodological aspects of statistical modeling of two-dimensional systems with random data, physical substantiation of correlation regularities of statistical relations between random variables is given, since or the problem of establishing the law of distribution of random variable has practical interest from the point of view of modeling statistical regularities of model "signal + noise".

In learning Maharah al-Istima, a lecturer at a college in Palangka Raya uses films from Youtube. Learning to listen to a foreign language cannot separated from problems, but students try to find solutions. This qualitative descriptive study aims to explore the use of films from Youtube in Maharah al-Istima's learning, listening problems and their solutions. The data were collected through observation, interview and documentation techniques, and the data were analyzed through the stages of data collection, data reduction, data presentation and conclusion drawing. The results showed that the lecturer used movies from Youtube offline and online by collecting, selecting, verifying credibility and evaluating the quality of the film. This activity trains students to listen to Arabic and increase their knowledge so that the results of listening of the students are good. The problems faced by students while learning to listen are the fast Arabic pronunciation, the lack of clarity in conversations and the difficulty in vocabulary. Students solve the first problem by playing back, focusing on listening or using dictionaries and other learning strategies. For the second problem, the students overcome them by focusing and understanding the context of the sentences, using a dictionary or other learning strategies. For the third problem, the solution is to train hearing, using a dictionary and reading frequently. The implication of this study is that multimedia communication can help improve the student's listening ability in both offline and online learning.

Authors: ONAT Saadettin Murat , ÖZDEMİR Serkan
Published: December 2020

In this study, the effect of press temperature and duration on bonding strength of laminated veneer lumber (LVL) was investigated. For this purpose, LVLs were produced from I 77/51 American poplar clone (Populus deltoides) by using 2 different press temperatures (140 and 170⁰C) and 3 press duration (10, 15 and 20 minutes). Phenol formaldehyde (PF) adhesive was used for bonding of poplar veneers. The bonding strength and wood failure rate of produced LVLs were determined according to TS EN 314-1 standard. According to experimental results, the LVLs pressed at 170⁰C showed better bonding strength compared to LVLs pressed at 140⁰C. On the other hand, a decrease was observed in the wood failure rate due to the increase in temperature. The highest bonding strength was obtained by press duration of 10 minutes at press temperature of 170⁰C and a significant decrease in bonding strength was observed when press duration was extended.

Indonesia is a tropical country that has two seasons, rainy and dry. Nowadays, the earth is experiencing the climate change phenomenon which causes erratic rainfall. The rainfall is influenced by several factors, one of which is the local scale factor. This research was aimed to build a rainfall model in Sulawesi to find out how the rainfall relationship with local scale factor in Sulawesi. In this research, the data used were secondary data which consisted of 15 samples with 6 variables from Badan Pusat Statistik (BPS). The limitation of the sample size in this study was due to the limited secondary data available in the field. The data was processed using Principal Component Regression Analysis. The first step was reducing local scale factor variables so that the principal component variable could be obtained that can explain variability from the original data which then that variable was analyzed using principal regression analysis. The data were analyzed by utilizing R Studio software. The results show that two principal component variables can explain 75.2% of the variability of original data and only one principal component variable that was significant to the rainfall variable. The regression model explained that the relationship between rainfall, humidity, air temperature, air pressure, and solar radiation was in the same direction while the relationship between rainfall and wind velocity was not in the same direction. Overall, the results of the study provided an overview of the application of the Principal Component Regression analysis to model the rainfall phenomenon in the Sulawesi region using the R program.
Probit Regression Analysis to Predict the Effect of Problem-Based Learning Model and Teams Games Tournament Cooperative Learning Model toward Students’ Learning Outcomes
Authors: Ardianti Ulfah , Marlena Leni
Published: December 2020

The study aimed to predict the chances of success from the use of the Problem-based Learning (PBL) model compared to the Teams Games Tournament (TGT) toward students’ learning outcomes. The research was conducted to the eleventh-grade students of Senior High School 106 Jakarta on the limit of algebraic function material. The data were collected through a posttest of 5 description questions. After the data had been collected, it was analyzed using probit regression which can provide more information than using just the means of two populations. The independent variable was the class and the dependent variable was the learning outcome. The class independent variable was a dummy variable with the value of "1" which applied the PBL model and the value of "0" was the class that applied the TGT cooperative learning model. The resulting probit regression model was the alleged Probit (mathematics learning outcomes) = 1,114 - 0,483 (class). Based on the probit regression model at the 5% significance level, it can be concluded that the alleged students who were taught using the TGT cooperative learning model had a 13% greater chance of success/correct in working out the questions compared to students who were taught using the PBL. The results showed that the TGT cooperative learning model can improve students’ learning outcomes better.

From K Road to iTunes: Social and cultural changes in New Zealand recorded music communities
Authors: Tennant Lewis
Published: December 2020

This article explores how recent technological changes have affected the social and cultural practices of New Zealand communities that are based on recorded music. It considers the shrinking number of brick-and-mortar record shops in the wider context of discussing how now widespread Internet usage has forever changed the music producer-distributor-consumer relationship, as well as the relationship audience members have with one another. The account tracks the history of the record retail space in 20th Century New Zealand, before drawing on conversations with 30 highly-engaged music consumers in order to explore the relevance of the record shops that remain today. Participants also discuss the impact Internet access has had on New Zealand-based music aficionados. The central theme that emerges during these conversations is that though ‘something’ is lost with increasingly less physical community spaces to congregate, the Internet provides a potentially more inclusive and expansive platform for a greater cross-section of audience members to feel involved.
Prophet without honour: Margaret Butler and the status of sculpture in New Zealand, 1937–40
Authors: Stocker Mark
Published: December 2020

This article consists of two parts, an introductory text, followed by long-forgotten primary source publications from 1937 to 1940 in the Evening Post, Dominion and Art in New Zealand. Predominantly letters to the editor, they address the reputation and profile of the sculptor Margaret Butler who had returned to her native New Zealand in 1934 after a prolonged stint overseas. Their authors include the literary figures Charles Marris and Alan Mulgan. They all note the critical acclaim she achieved in Paris and Vienna, and the merits of her sculpture. The writers also ask why native artistic talent appears to be neglected by institutions such as the newly-established National Art Gallery in favour of expensive overseas art, and press for the acquisition of more of Butler’s works. No official response was recorded and in any case Butler’s sculptural career had effectively ended by the time of the last such letter, dated November 1940.
Navigating Design History with a More Culturally Calibrated Compass
Authors: O'Sullivan Nan
Published: December 2020

It seems remiss that while New Zealand’s design prowess continues to impress globally, the indigenous and cultural knowledge that has for centuries inspired and informed aesthetic languages worldwide has not been recognised for its contribution. Forgotten, or perhaps conveniently ignored, is the praise of both the New Zealand Māori and Pacific people’s use of nature’s harmonies to achieve beauty in aesthetics made in 1852 by education and aesthetic reformist, Owen Jones (1809 -1874) in his seminal and determinative work, The Grammar of Ornament. In order to reinstate Jones’ claim, this paper asserts it is critical that we revisit design’s history from a less Eurocentric perspective. This offers an opportunity to debunk the counter-claim that indigeneity was counter-productive to the development of modernity. By recalibrating design’s history with a more accurate and culturally orientated compass, the contributions made by indigenous knowledge to the endeavours of some of design history’s most iconic contributors becomes tangible. Having made these connections, this study will introduce Māori and Pasifika ideologies of time, space and connectivity to demonstrate a pathway forward in which this knowledge can be understood, acknowledged, respected and most importantly appropriately included within design’s histories, current practices and future endeavours.
Paul Cullen—Of Building Structures
Authors: Moore Marcus
Published: December 2020

This article provides an account of the 1970’s practice of Paul Cullen (1949-2017) including a focused discussion on his exhibition ‘Building Structures’ at the Barry Lett Galleries, Auckland (November/December 1979). While Cullen received attention in the last two decades of his life, little is known of the origins of his work in the 1970s, and how the foundation for key facets of his career's work is located there. Although his quite radical 1979 solo exhibition 'Building Structures' was a definitive statement in the context of ‘post-object’ and conceptual art in Auckland, with art critic Wystan Curnow noting at the time the work’s significance, the exhibition has been overlooked in historical accounts of the period. The article concludes by bringing ‘Building Structures’ up to date in regard to Anthropocene thinking and with reference to itsreconstruction for a 2018 exhibition.
Translations of Novels in the Romanian Culture During the Long Nineteenth Century (1794-1914): A Quantitative Perspective
Authors: Baghiu Ștefan
Published: December 2020

This article uses quantitative methods to provide a macro perspective on translations of novels in Romanian culture during the long nineteenth century, by modifying Eric Hobsbawm’s 1789-1914 period, and using it as spanning from 1794 (the first registered local publishing of a translated novel) to 1918 (the end of the First World War). The article discusses the predominance of the French novel (almost 70% of the total of translated novels), the case of four other main competitors in the second line of translations (or the golden circle, as named in the article: German, English, Russian, and Italian), the strange case of the American novel as a transition zone, and the situation of five other groups of novels translated during the period (the atomizing agents: the East European, the Spanish, the Austrian, the Nordic, and the Asian novel).
