India is set to emerge as the diabetic capital of the world and it is very shameful prediction which India has to face. Heredity, Sedentary life style, lack of exercise and yoga, stress, and improper diet habits are main reasons for spreading of the diabetes. In order to prevent the primary onset we need to concentrate on the next generation of existing diabetes patients. Making them aware will be the first task, followed by provocation for action, followed by action in reality.

As diabetes is metabolic disorder it cannot be treated merely by controlling blood sugar level. Ayurveda aimed at rejuvenating the body for not only controlling blood sugar level but also ensure that no further complication should be caused. Ayurvedic treatment for diabetes based on entire change in life style of the person, along with proper medication and diet patient is advised to lead healthy and active life.

Published: December 2020

Objective: To assess the pattern of sexual performance in women treated for breast cancer. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study on women treated for breast cancer. Inclusion criteria: to have undergone the first-line therapy for cancer and the cancer not being classified as stage IV. Data on cancer were collected by the analysis of medical records. For the evaluation of sexual performance, women were submitted to individual interviews, with the application of the Quociente Sexual – Versão Feminina (QS F) questionnaire. Sexual performance was classified as: bad, unfavorable, regular, good, and excellent. The diagnosis of sexual dysfunction was established to women with score ≤ 60. For descriptive analyses, absolute (n) and relative (%) frequencies were performed, and for the comparison between the quantitative variables the Student’s t-test was used. Results: 31 women with a mean age of 55.2 years were included, 35% were classified as clinical stage II, 84% underwent conservative surgery, 65% underwent chemotherapy, and 80% used endocrinotherapy. Regarding sexual performance, 62% spontaneously think about sex, 35% are always interested in sex, and 51.7% have some degree of pain during intercourse. After calculating the score, it was concluded that 6.5% had bad sexual performance; 19.4%, unfavorable; 19.4%, regular; 41.9%, good; and 12.8%, excellent. The mean score was 58.7 points (standard deviation = 21.4, median of 64, minimum of 16, and maximum of 90 points), and 45.2% of women were diagnosed with sexual dysfunction. The provided treatments and the length of follow-up did not have a significant correlation with sexual performance. Conclusion: Most women treated for breast cancer had sexual performance classified as “good and excellent,” although a significant percentage had a diagnosis of sexual dysfunction.

Authors: Rahal Rosemar Macedo Sousa , Nascimento Sergio , Soares Leonardo Ribeiro , Freitas-Junior Ruffo
Published: December 2020

Introduction: Medical congresses allow scientific production to be appropriately disseminated and discussed. However, most of the scientific papers presented at medical congresses do not go on to be published in indexed journals. The present study aimed to characterize the abstracts presented at three different congresses on breast cancer held in Brazil, and to determine the publication rate of these three events. Methods: Observational, retrospective study, where the observation unit consisted of the scientific papers presented at the Brazilian Congress of Mastology (CBM), Jornada Paulista de Mastologia (JPM) and Brazilian Breast Cancer Symposium (BBCS) in 2017. Initially, we recorded all the abstracts of works presented at the event. Subsequently, the works were searched in digital databases (BIREME/LILACS and MEDLINE/PubMed) and in the respective resumes of the authors on the Lattes platform. Results: The study included 266 abstracts of scientific papers presented in the three selected events, of which 21 (7.9%) were published in an indexed journal. Most of these studies were conducted predominantly in public institutions (71.1%), located in the State of São Paulo (30.5%) and were presented in the form of a poster (77.8%). The publication rate from the BBCS, CBM and JPM was 13.4, 5.4 and 3.4%, respectively (p = 0.03). Considering the published articles, there was no difference in journal impact factor between the congresses (p = 0.49). “Mastology” was the journal that received the largest number of publications (n = 8; 38.1%). Conclusion: In 2017, less than 10% of the abstracts on breast cancer presented at Brazilian congresses were published in an indexed journal. Among the main specialty events in the country, the Brazilian Breast Cancer Symposium has a significantly higher publication rate.

Objectives: Glaucoma is the most common blinding condition in South Punjab of Pakistan and its management is a challenge due to illiteracy and lack of financial resources. Study Design: Randomized Clinical Trial. Setting: Department of Ophthalmology Nishtar Hospital Multan. Period: June 2016 - June 2018. Material & Methods: We have randomly selected patients on the basis of Cup to Disc ratio and applied randomized clinical trial of both medical and surgical modalities of glaucoma management to observe the visual outcomes in terms of Intraocular pressure and Cup to disc ratio. We have also linked the effects of our management with lenticular status of the patients which has shown significant results. Results: The vision survival of trabeculectomy in pseudophakics was 88.77% while only 9.8% was the survival rate of trabeculectomy in phakics. 90% of 31 phakic patients who underwent trabeculectomy failed. Similarly patients on 3 IOP lowering drugs had 70% vision survival rate out of 260 patients treated. Patients with C-D ratio 0.8 had maximum failure rate of 69% out of 78 patients in which medical treatment failed. Conclusion: Trabeculectomy significantly reduced the intraocular pressure in patients in which pharmacological treatment failed.The success rate of trabeculectomy among pseudophakics is high. In Phakics, when only Trabeculectomy is done, success rate is low. When trabeculectomy and clear lens extraction is done simultaneously, the success rate is slightly higher. When trabeculectomy is done after clear lens extraction, the success rate is highest. In case of Cataract, cataract extraction and trabeculectomy when done simultaneously, show low success rate. When trabeculectomy was done after cataract extraction, shows highest success rate.

Base isolation design and analysis for the 7-story apartment building “Stepanakert-sections-4-5” with R/C monolithic load-bearing walls and asymmetric plan
Authors: Mikayel G. Melkumyan
Published: December 2020

In recent years seismic isolation technologies in Armenia were extensively applied in construction of multi-story residential, medical, hotel, airport, and business center complexes with parking floors and with floors envisaged for offices, shopping centers, fitness clubs, etc. To date there are 55 seismic isolated buildings in the country newly constructed or retrofitted by base or roof isolation systems. Of this number of buildings 48 were erected thanks to the works of the author of this paper and in nowadays Armenia is well known as a country where seismic (base and roof) isolation systems are widely implemented in civil construction. The number of seismically isolated buildings per capita in Armenia is one of the highest in the world – second after Japan. The paper given below emphasizes achievements also in local manufacturing/testing of seismic isolation laminated rubber-steel bearings (SILRSBs). Several remarkable projects on construction of base isolated buildings are briefly mentioned in the paper to demonstrate the experience accumulated in Armenia. Based on the gained experience further developments take place and unique base isolation structural concepts and technologies created by the author are applied more and more in construction of new buildings. In this paper base isolation design and analysis by the Armenian Seismic Code for the 7-story apartment building to be constructed in Stepanakert is described. This will be a first application of base isolation technology to a building the bearing system of which consists of reinforced concrete (R/C) monolithic load-bearing walls and building has an asymmetric plan. It is stated that suggested seismic isolation strategy will reduce the cost of construction of the given building on about 35% in comparison with the cost of conventional construction. Obtained results indicate the high effectiveness of the proposed structural concept of isolation system and the need for further improvement of Seismic Code provisions regarding the values of the reduction factors.
COVID-19 and food insecurity in Cameroon
Authors: Foka-Nkwenti Christopher  , Nguendo Yongsi H. Blaise  , Noela Ambe Mpeh  , Nganou-Mouafo Madelle
Published: December 2020

Background: more than half of the world's population is currently facing health crisis. As a result, millions of businesses have had to shutdown either temporarily or permanently. With COVID-19 and its economic fallout, now spreading in the poorest regions of the world, many more people will become poor and food-insecure. Increased food insecurity may act as a multiplier for the epidemic due to its negative health effects and increased in national starvation. The impacts of COVID-19 are particularly strong for people in the lower tail of the food insecurity distribution. In the current context, the effects of food insecurity could be made worse as a result of the general rise of food stuff prices. Objective: in this paper, we will investigate the interaction between COVID-19 and the drop in the food price leading to food insecurity in Cameroon. Data collection: rapid phone survey across the national territory (Cameroon) confirm(s) the widespread impact of COVID-19 on household and food insecurity. Data collected in urban markets shows that main cities are highly affected by the covid-19 crises. Data retrieved was linked and processed in data editing software (Microsoft Office) for the production of results in text and tabular format. Result: as the coronavirus crisis unfolds, disruptions in domestic food supply chains and loss of incomes and remittances are creating strong tensions and food insecurity in Cameroon. Despite stable food prices of certain goods, most cities are experiencing varying levels of food price inflation at the retail level, reflecting supply disruptions due to COVID-19. Rising food prices have a greater impact in low and middle income consumers since a larger share of their income is spent on food.
A violência institucional e simbólica como antinomia do direito: pela não-violência como preceito jurídico fundamental
Authors: Vieira Andre Luiz Valim
Published: December 2020

O presente artigo tem por objetivo o estudo da violência materializada através dos atos de guerras entre as nações e das ações do Estado – em âmbito nacional – enquanto detentor do monopólio da violência pública e institucional ou dita como legítima e autorizada pela norma jurídica. Pretendemos assim analisar os tipos e formas de violência elencadas pelos principais teóricos políticos para enfim compreender como a não-violência toma forma e fundamentação e tende a se apresentar como uma alternativa social, jurídica e legitimamente possível como fator de enfrentamento da violência estatal. Com fundamentos teóricos e metodológicos em Hannah Arendt, Celso Lafer, Jean-Marie Muller, e Gene Sharp almejamos contrapor a violência versus uma não-violência ativa e socialmente organizada.
Direitos Humanos e democracia: uma relação necessária
Authors: Kozicki Katya , Bonatto Marina
Published: December 2020

Partindo do pressuposto de que existe uma relação direta - ainda que não absoluta ou lógica - entre direitos humanos e democracia, pretende-se demonstrar no presente artigo que o regime democrático adotado pela Constituição de 1988 não se restringe ao seu aspecto procedimental, mas compromete-se com a promoção e proteção dos direitos de todas e todos. Desse modo, todo e qualquer ataque aos direitos humanos representa na mesma proporção um ataque a própria democracia, sendo necessário o fortalecimento da relação de interdependência entre ambos para o fortalecimento da democracia brasileira. Para tal fim, adotou-se como metodologia de pesquisa a revisão bibliográfica. Em um primeiro momento a relação entre os conceitos foi analisada a partir da ótica predominante quando do surgimento dos direitos humanos. Na sequência foi exposta a insuficiência dessa visão, objetivando delinear quais são as possíveis relações entre os direitos humanos e a democracia. Conclui-se que só é possível falar em uma relação de interdependência entre os conceitos a partir de uma concepção da democracia enquanto democracia substantiva.
Cabe ao estado censurar as tentações de Cristo?: considerações sobre a (im)possibilidade de exclusão de conteúdos no meio digital a partir do caso Porta dos Fundos e Netflix
Authors: Reis Ulisses Levy Silvério dos
Published: December 2020

Este trabalho tem por objeto a tutela do direito fundamental à liberdade de expressão no conflito envolvendo o canal Porta dos Fundos e a empresa de streaming Netflix, surgido a partir de representação judicial promovida por associação religiosa junto ao Tribunal de Justiça do Rio de Janeiro. A segunda instância do Judiciário local, com base na necessidade de proteger valores considerados sagrados por parte da população brasileira, determinou a exclusão do material artístico veiculado pelas empresas citadas. A pesquisa problematiza se a tutela judicial havida no caso concreto é compatível com os parâmetros definidos pelo sistema interamericano de direitos humanos em relação à restrição lícita da liberdade de expressão, os quais vinculam o Estado brasileiro. A investigação foi realizada com o método dedutivo e a partir de fontes documentais e bibliográficas, com ênfase em decisões e relatórios da Corte e da Comissão Interamericanas. O desenvolvimento do trabalho divide-se em duas partes: primeiro analisou-se os aspectos fático-jurídicos do conflito concreto e depois investigou-se os parâmetros que definem a liberdade de expressão no sistema interamericano. Concluiu-se que a decisão do órgão judiciário local contrariou as determinações regionais em matéria de proteção dos direitos humanos.
О диверсификации экономической специализации Республики Коми
Authors: Лаженцев В. Н.
Published: December 2020

Статья критически рассматривает принятый Стратегией пространственного развития РФ принцип региональной и отраслевой специализации. Его основной недостаток – закрепление в качестве перспективной специализации ранее сложившейся производственной структуры, без учета инноваций, актуальных и перспективных потребностей регионов. Показаны тенденции трансформации хозяйства Республики Коми – региона, во многих отношениях типичного для природно-ресурсного Севера России. На основе научно-исследовательских разработок Коми научного центра УрО РАН дана экспертная оценка возможным переменам в области недропользования и биоресурсной экономики и их влиянию на социальные процессы в республике. Проблематичность обусловлена «затуханием» угольных городов (Воркуты и Инты), переходом добычи углеводородов на преимущественно средние и малые месторождения, трудностями комплексного использования рудных полезных ископаемых, экологической целесообразностью ограничений объема лесозаготовок и создания новых биохимических технологий переработки ресурсов таежных и тундровых территорий. Финансово-экономический аспект специализации республики обозначен как вывоз потенциального капитала и как функция региона в системе федеративных отношений.

MONITORING OF AUTOMATED TECHNOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENT FOR TOOL WORKING IN PLASMA-GENERATOR OF GLOW DISCHARGE BASED ON NEURONET APPROACH
Authors: Logvin Vladimir , Karlova Tatyana
Published: December 2020

The work purpose is to increase effectiveness and quality of engineering process control of tool working in a plasma-generator of a glow discharge based on a neuronet approach. Investigation methods: use of computer technologies based on an artificial neuronet system for the creation of control systems as an investigation method consisting in computer imitation of the process of plasma-generator operation at separate stages of processing. It will allow developing an optimum system for quality control and management of engineering processes performed for tool working in the plasma-generator of a glow discharge. The essence of the modeling method when using an artificial neuronet approach consists in the development of such algorithms and programs which imitate the behavior of the plasma-generator, its properties and characteristics in the composition essential for investigations, volume and field of technical parameter changes. Investigation results: the operation sequence of the engineering process for product working in the plasma-generator of a glow discharge ensures the formation of the specified structure and micro-hardness on the surface of products worked. A considerable impact upon working quality is made by the structure of technological gas environment and a rate of its pumping at constant pressure in a vacuum chamber for the formation of the essential flux of bombarding ions with the specified value of kinetic energy before a hit on a surface. During the development of working stage sequence there is taken into account a state and magnitude of the defected layer formed at the stages of previous working and ageing. The effectiveness of force impact is defined with the stability of current strength in the discharge and electrode voltage in the plasma-generator of a glow discharge. The fluctuations of current strength and voltage at discharge burning depends upon the stability of structure, pressure and a pumping rate of technological gas environment through a working volume of the plasma-generator.

Engagement as Motivation: Academic Models
Authors: Pincus Jeremy
Published: December 2020

Perhaps the central theoretical construct in human resource management today is employee engagement. Despite its centrality, clear theoretical and operational definitions are few and far between, with most treatments failing to separate causes from effects, psychological variables from organizational variables, and internal from external mechanisms. This paper argues for a more sophisticated approach to the engagement concept, grounding it in the vast psychological literature on human motivation. Herein lies the contribution of our paper; we argue that the apparent diversity of operational definitions employed by academics and practitioners can be understood as tentative attempts to draw ever nearer to key motivational concepts, but never quite get there. We review the leading definitions of employee engagement in the literature and find that they are reducible to a core set of human motives, each backed by full literatures of their own, which populate a comprehensive model of twelve human motivations. We propose that there is substantial value in adopting a comprehensive motivational taxonomy over current atheoretical approaches, which have the effect of “snowballing” ever more constructs adopted from a variety of fields and theoretical traditions. We consider the impact of rooting engagement concepts in existing motivational construct for each of the following: (a) theory, especially the development of engagement systems; (b) methods, including the value of applying a comprehensive, structural approach; and (c) practice, where we emphasize the practical advantages of clear operational definitions.

Review of Molecular Modeling and Photoelectronic Applications of Porphyrin-based Materials
Authors: Mogren M. MogrenAl , M.Ahmed Noha , A.Hasanein Ahmed
Published: December 2020

In this review, the introduction of solar cells is presented. Old and new generation solar cells are briefly described. Quantum dot solar cells (QDSCs), perovskite solar cells, and dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) are concisely introduced. The sensitization mechanism in DSSCs is discussed in detail concerning the spectral and electron injection properties of different dyes. An analysis of the intramolecular charge transfer process in the excited dye molecule is also provided. The use of porphyrin-based dyes as sensitizers in DSSCs is then reviewed. The design, synthesis, and photovoltaic application of a wide variety of porphyrin-based dyes as well as porphyrin dyads are presented and discussed. Theoretical studies of the spectral and electronic properties of different porphyrin-based dyes using DFT and TD-DFT methods are described. The different possibilities for improving the light-to-electrical energy conversion performance are discussed, such as structural modifications through introducing push-pull moieties, which in turn tunes the HOMO-LUMO energy gap of the sensitizing dye used in the DSSC. Experimental, as well as theoretical calculations of adsorption energies of the sensitizing dyes, are crucial for predicting the relative performance and efficiency of the dyes.
EXCEPTIONAL GROUND MOTION DURING THE SHALLOW Mw 4.9 2019 LE TEIL EARTHQUAKE, FRANCE

Published: December 2020

On November 11, 2019, an unusually damaging Mw4.9 earthquake occurred in the south east of France within the lower Rhône river valley, an industrial region hosting several operating nuclear power plants. This event is exceptional considering its very shallow depth (<1 km). Based on farfield seismological observations, we demonstrate that the rupture properties are consistent with the ones commonly observed for large deeper earthquakes, implying that the near-surface faulting generated strong high-frequency seismic waves. In the absence of strong motion sensors in the fault vicinity, we perform numerical predictions of the ground acceleration on a virtual array of near-fault stations, that matches with the locations of independent quantitative estimations from in-situ observations of displaced objects (natural and anthropic). Both numerical and in-situ analyses converge toward an exceptional level of ground acceleration in the fault vicinity, exceeding gravity, and at the origin of the damage. This dramatically changes the perception of the impacts of superficial moderate earthquakes on seismic hazard assessment.

Visual Art konseling merupakan salah satu Teknik dalam konseling seni yang memfokuskan pada visualisasi atau simbolisasi untuk mengungkapkan permasalahan konseli secara holistik yang dituangkan dalam menggambar, mewarnai, dan mematung (lilin). The American Art Therapy Association (dalam Hirawan, 2014) menjelaskan bahwa art therapy merupakan metode terapeutik yang menggunakan karya seni dengan hubungan profesional pada individu yang memiliki pengalaman menyakitkan (trauma) atau individu yang memiliki tantangan dalam hidupnya (Evi, 2017).Canadian Art Therapy Association (dalam Edwards, 2004) juga menjelaskan bahwa art therapy adalah bentuk psikoterapi yang memungkinkan sebagai bentuk ekspresi emosional dan penyembuhan melalui cara-cara nonverbal.Menurut Malchiodi (2005) seni visual merupakan konseling ekspresif. Melalui gambar dan lukisan dapat membantu individu mengekspresikan masalahnya. Bukan hal yang penting jika seseorang tidak mampu menggambar atau melukis dengan baik karena apa yang tergambarkan dan terlukiskan akan mencerminkan perasaan serta permasalahan yang sedang dihadapi oleh individu.
