Impactos da leucemia no estado nutricional de pacientes pediátricos internados em um hospital de alta complexidade do norte do Rio Grande do Sul
Authors: Haefliger Gabrieli Eduarda , Kümpel Daiana Argenta
Published: August 2022

As leucemias estão relacionadas com alterações no perfil nutricional, podendo provocar perda de peso e desnutrição, necessitando realizar triagem nutricional e identificar o estado nutricional para intervenção precoce. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar o perfil nutricional dos pacientes pediátricos com leucemia internados em um Hospital de Alta Complexidade do Norte do Rio Grande do Sul. Estudo retrospectivo, utilizou dados secundários, coletados através de protocolos de triagem institucionais, realizado com pacientes com leucemia, de 0 a 12 anos de idade, internados de setembro de 2017 a agosto de 2020. A avaliação utilizou indicadores demográficos, antropométricos, clínicos e dietéticos. Foram avaliados 46 pacientes, prevalecendo a leucemia linfocítica aguda (80%), o sexo masculino (56,5%) e a faixa etária de 0 - 5 anos de idade (52,2%). Em relação ao estado nutricional, verificou-se prevalência de eutrofia, porém 97,9% apresentaram risco nutricional. Na avaliação da ingestão alimentar, 56,6% tinham uma ingestão alimentar regular/ruim. Ainda, 73,9% não atingiu as estimativas das necessidades nutricionais para calorias. Quanto à terapia nutricional, a maioria fez uso de terapia nutricional oral (41,3%). Os sintomas gastrointestinais mais relatados foram inapetência, náuseas, mucosite, vômito, diarreia e constipação, sendo que dos pacientes que apresentaram diarreia, todos utilizaram terapia nutricional enteral (100%), demonstrando associação estatisticamente significativa (p=0,010). Conclui-se que, apesar do estado nutricional adequado, foi evidenciado risco nutricional, além disso, os sintomas gastrointestinais interferem na ingestão alime

A pharmacovigilance system is essential to prevent or minimize the risk of adverse drug-related events. It is necessary that both health institutions and drug manufacturers and health surveillance have risk management guidelines. With the rapid spread and evolution of COVID-19, researchers have been looking for treatments capable of curing or delaying the disease. However, the time required for the development of new drugs is prolonged, so some existing drugs are emerging as alternatives. Due to the relevance of patient safety as a public health problem, health authorities have been demanding the monitoring of the risk-benefit associated with the use of each drug. Despite the limitations regarding the nature of information in pharmacovigilance studies, it is still possible to use it for health regulation and definition of strategic actions to reduce unwanted outcomes, such as adverse drug events and deaths. Thus, this literature review article aimed to present the relevance of pharmacovigilance related to patient safety in the period of the Covid-19 pandemic.

During the high and rapid digital freedom in Indonesia, there is a problem related to ethical matters that is the poor level of digital decency. This article attempts to offer an ethical perspective based on a hermeneutic study of the biblical text. The text analysed is First Epistle of Paul to the Corinthians (1 Cor. 8:9 & 10:29). In 1 Corinthians 8:9 Paul speaks of the freedom of responsibility that the “strong” needs to show to the “weak.” In 1 Corinthians 10:29 the issue of suneidesis (conscience) is the core idea, namely that one needs to pay attention to the conscience of another in all the freedoms they have. The results of the existing interpretations create a theological-ethical construction in the freedom to interact digitally that can be applied multi-religiously in Indonesia.
[Di tengah tinggi dan pesatnya kebebasan digital masyarakat Indonesia terselip masalah yang bersangkut paut dengan hal etis, yakni tingkat kesopanan digitalnya yang paling buruk. Artikel ini berusaha menawarkan suatu perspektif etis yang didasarkan pada studi hermeneutik atas teks Kitab Suci. Teks yang dianalisa ialah Pesan Paulus kepada Jemaat Korintus (1 Kor. 8:9 & 10:29). Di 1 Korintus 8:9 Paulus berbicara tentang kebebasan bertanggung jawab yang perlu diperagakan oleh ‘golongan kuat’ terhadap ‘golongan lemah.’ Sedangkan di 1 Korintus 10:29 hal mengenai suneidesis (hati nurani) adalah gagasan intinya, yakni ketika seseorang perlu memperhatikan hari nurani orang lain di dalam segala kebebasan yang ia miliki.

Published: August 2022

This study considers existing methods of mathematical modeling of lithium-ion batteries based on the Shepherd formula, as well as using formulas from the general course of physics. In order to measure experimental data in automatic mode, a special measuring facility was developed, the main element of the setup is a programmable platform based on the ATmega328p microprocessor. It controls the process, measures the voltage on the battery and transmits data to the computer every 5 seconds via the UART interface of the microprocessor for further analysis. On the basis of the data obtained, an experimental dependence of the battery discharge by direct current over a certain peri-od of time was built. This was followed by a calculation of battery capacity. The load is 20 resistors connected in series-parallel, in order to dissipate the thermal power released on them when an electric current flows. Since the resistors are carbon with precision accuracy class, heating does not raise ambient temperature by more than 10 degrees. Thus any change in their resistance can be neglected. The values obtained were used to implement and test the mathematical model in the MATLAB/Simulink simulation environment. The test results showed the similarity of the obtained values with the ide-alized Shepherd model, since the standard deviation of all points from this model was 2.6%.

Few laboratory stands can simulate the operation of direct-flow boilers. The processes occurring therein are complex both hydraulically and thermophysically. A study of the fluid dynamics of the coolant in a cylindrical composite coil shows that it is possible to influence boiler performance. The movement of air through coils is also of interest for the intensification of the heat exchange process in direct-flow steam boilers. Modern automation devices can make allow for readings to be tak-en of the coolant and air with high accuracy. They cal also transfer experimental values to a personal computer for data storage and subsequent analysis. The article presents the results of the design and assembly of a laboratory stand, designed for experimental research of aero- and hydraulic systems of a direct-flow boiler using automatic device control and data collection. The results of modeling and experimental data are presented herein.

In order to ensure continuity in the supply of electrical energy to electrical receivers, as well as for the purposes of the safe and reliable maintenance of electrical installations under operating voltage, the insulation parame-ters according to which organizational and technical measures are being developed needs to be known. The use of such measures will allow ssocial and economic benefits to be achieved.This article discusses the method developed to establish insulation parameters in quarry distribution networks (QDN). Using the methodology developed, a study was conducted in the “Tarror” quarry. During the study the dynamics of changes in the insulation resistance of the phases of the network relative to the ground was evaluated. Based on the results obtained, it was concluded that such measure-ments should be undertaken at least one year in advance. This will enable reasonable qualitative and quantitative conclu-sions to be drawn about the influence of environmental parameters on the insulation resistance of the phases of QDN rela-tive to the ground.
Pointwise A Posteriori Error Control of Discontinuous Galerkin Methods for Unilateral Contact Problems
Authors: Khandelwal Rohit , Porwal Kamana
Published: August 2022

In this article, we derive a reliable and efficient a posteriori error estimator in the supremum norm for a class of discontinuous Galerkin (DG) methods for the frictionless unilateral contact problem between two elastic bodies.
The proposed error estimator generalizes the basic residual type estimators for the linear problems in linear elasticity taking into account the nonlinearity on a part of the boundary.
The analysis hinges on the super- and sub-solutions constructed by modifying the discrete solution appropriately, and it is carried out in a unified manner which holds for several DG methods.
The terms arising from the contact stresses in the error estimator vanish on the discrete full contact set.
We illustrate the performance of the proposed error estimator via several numerical experiments in two dimensions.

2,6-Methylacylnaphthalene is an important organic chemical raw material, mainly used as a precursor for synthesizing polyethylene 2,6-naphthalene dicarboxylate (PEN). The heterogeneous catalyst molecular sieve catalyzes the acylation of 2-methylnaphthalene to synthesize β,β-methylacylnaphthalene, which has good activity, is green and environmentally friendly, with simple post-treatment. Different molecular sieves and reaction solvents were selected, and Hβ molecular sieves were more suitable for the acylation reaction of 2-methylnaphthalene. The reaction results were better when sulfolane was used as a solvent in this paper. The catalytic performances of citric acid-modified Hβ molecular sieve (SiO2/Al2O3 of 25) and unmodified molecular sieve were investigated and compared. The results showed that modification with low-concentration citric acid increased the amount of mediate strong acid and Bronsted acid, the specific surface area, pore volume, and pore size of Hβ zeolite. When the concentration of citric acid was 0.3 mol·L−1, the modification time was 48 h and the calcination at 550°C for 3 h had the best catalytic activity. By further optimizing the acylation process, the conversion rate of 2-methylnaphthalene increased to 88.82%, and the yield of β,β-methyl propyl naphthalene increased to 82.12%.
St’át’imcets frustratives as not-at-issue modals
Authors: Davis Henry , Matthewson Lisa
Published: August 2022

This paper provides an analysis of the ‘frustrative’ marker séna7 in St’át’imcets (Lillooet Salish), and compares it to similar elements cross-linguistically. Séna7 appears in a range of discourse contexts, including when events have an unexpected outcome, fail to continue, or fail to take place optimally. We argue that séna7 felicitously applies to a proposition p only if there is a salient true proposition q and the speaker did not expect p and q to both be true. Séna7 encodes epistemic modality, refers only to the speaker’s epistemic state (ignoring the common ground), and has no effect on at-issue truth conditions (séna7(p) entails p). We show that séna7 provides a diagnostic for distinguishing between entailments and implicatures in the language, and a clear diagnostic for the distinction between futures and prospective aspects. We compare séna7 with similar elements in Tohono O’odham, Kimaragang and Tagalog. We argue that séna7 and the Kimaragang frustrative can be captured by the same analysis once independent features of their tense/aspect systems are taken into account. Following Kroeger (2017. Frustration, culmination and inertia in Kimaragang grammar. Glossa: A Journal of General Linguistics 2(1). 56. 1–29), but pace Copley and Harley (2014. Eliminating causative entailments with the force-theoretic framework: The case of the Tohono O’odham frustrative cem. In Bridget Copley & Fabienne Martin (eds.), Causation in grammatical structures (Oxford Studies in Theoretical Linguistics 52), 120–151. Oxford: Oxford University Press), we argue that frustratives should not be unified with non-culminating accomplishments, and can be analyzed without appealing to causality or efficacy.

The potential effect of nano TiO2 in poly(vinylidene fluoride-hexafluoropropylene) (PVDF-HFP) based polymer electrolyte and their application in a dye sensitized solar cell have been investigated. The solution casting process was used for fabrication of nano TiO2 loaded in Mg
2+
ion based PVDF-HFP solid polymer electrolyte (SPE), and characterized using conductivity, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and photovoltaic studies. XRD investigations reveal the broadening of specific peaks, which shows the occurrence of α, β and γ polymorphous phase transitions that commence the amorphous character and ion mobility. The SEM pictures revealed an interconnecting network of micro-porous nature, and an average diameter of the pores of ∼0.38 µm was obtained by using Gaussian curve fitting. Ion transport is facilitated by the high concentration of pores, which is responsible for the efficient absorption of a significant amount of electrolyte. The photovoltaic characteristics of dye sensitized solar cell (DSSC) estimated efficiency (η) is 9.9999%, and the fill factor is 0.84. Furthermore, the stability performance of the nanocomposite polymer electrolyte was improved and sufficient for use over an extended length of time, suggesting potential applications as a separator in solid state ionic conductors.

Published: August 2022

Objectives

The impact of disasters on individual and community health can be extensive. As such, there exists the need to establish recovery measures that provides support psychologically and with additional mental health services and resilience building for affected people and their communities. Nature-led recovery is one such approach that has the ability to positively impact the mental health of people and their communities after a disaster. Nature-led recovery focuses on the social, economic and environmental recovery through activities that connect people and their communities to nature and the natural environment with the aim to foster recovery after a disaster. Nature-led recovery initiatives support the connection of people with nature and the natural environment to support such recovery processes. This review considers both community and government-led responses pertaining to nature-led recovery. The aim of this review is to systematically explore the literature on the impact of nature-led recovery initiatives on individual and community health following a disaster.

Content

This review was conducted in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) following a three-step process of planning, conducting and reporting the review. At least three authors reviewed all eligible articles.

There was significant methodological heterogeneity between the sources identified (n=9). A narrative synthesis identified five key themes; A symbol of loss; Nature: the provider; Fostering community connectedness; Spiritual and emotional nourishment; and Regeneration leads to recovery.

Outlook

The positive benefits from nature-led recovery initiatives provide an opportunity to promote community connectedness and resilience following a disaster. Further research is needed to explore the implementation and evaluation of these initiatives for community recovery.
Narrating the Housing Crisis: Encountering Madness, Homelessness, and Neoliberal Logic in Recent Film-based Narratives
Authors: Martin Tim
Published: August 2022

This article seeks to articulate how neoliberal thinking perceives—and conflates—the homeless and mad subject in opposition to the middle class “productive” citizen. I engage in a narrative analysis of two cultural artifacts: James Burns’s documentary film, Out of Sight, Out of Mind: Mental Healthcare in Rural America and CTV’s coverage of the Housing First approach as a viable response to homelessness. Using an analysis of neoliberal rationality coupled with a Critical Mad Studies approach, I examine the ways documentary filmmaking engenders particular ways of witnessing the housing crisis. The housing crisis is a direct result of the rise of neoliberal restructuring, yet homelessness is often presented as an individualized failure. Documentary filmmaking can exacerbate these (mis)understandings, even while particular voices offer powerful cultural critique in the form of counternarratives. Counterhegemonic representations of dehousing and madness must emerge from within the consumer/survivor/ex- patient community if they are to offer a reflexive, nuanced, and decisive departure from middle class orientations of health and recovery. I provide recommendations for producers and consumers of media representations of the housing crisis. Film based representation must be grounded in authentic personal encounters, attention to structural violence, and the desire to precipitate critical dialogue. By doing so filmmakers can elicit a response to homelessness that enhances political solidarity, relies on peer-led research, and confronts neoliberal thinking in the contemporary media landscape.

Activists in Disability Studies regularly warn the non-disabled about inspiration porn narratives constructed by ableist media around people who ‘overcome’ disability, who integrate in such a way that their only push back against the hostility of the world is being more abled than disabled. Charles Hughes’ new book Why Bushwick Bill Matters, from the University of Texas Press, argues against these narratives in a way that complicates problems of how to be disabled now.
SEEKING God’s Presence
Authors: Hunter John
Published: August 2022

There is evidence that dopaminergic excitation contributes to certain religious experiences however, a natural mechanism by which hyperdopaminergia may be elicited in normative Christian contexts remains elusive. Panksepp’s dopamine-mediated “SEEKING system” offers a plausible endogenous defense against psychological stress, and is activated by rewarding stimuli, so it was hypothesized that significant psychological stress followed by social reward would prompt SEEKING arousal in most healthy individuals. Through a review of 121 data sources describing a prevalent “personal development” seminar – using deductive thematic analysis – it was found that participants endure significant psychological stress for days before it is replaced with love/acceptance/affirmation and that most participants experience a powerful affective state, with effects consistent with SEEKING arousal. Because contemplating one’s sinfulness may elicit acute psychological stress, and Christian salvation may provide a sense of love/acceptance/affirmation, a natural mechanism for stimulating SEEKING arousal, and inducing a religious experience, in a Christian context is conceived.
Is UK Agriculture Going the Same Way As the Coal and Steel Industry in the 1980s?
Authors: Pallett Ken
Published: August 2022

Four months ago, I was involved in a discussion on the future challenges for UK crop production in the light of increasing future environmental issues. The focus of the discussion was the highly ambitious goal of reaching net zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions across the whole of agriculture
in England and Wales by 2040, along with the new subsidy system in the UK associated with the Environmental Land Management Scheme (ELMS). My first contribution to the discussion was to ask the question that is the title of this editorial because there was little discussion on any need for
maximising productivity of agriculture and food production in the UK. This discussion was before the invasion of Ukraine and the subsequent global consequences, so perhaps the focus of UK Agricultural strategy in the UK and elsewhere may be re-directed, although I have not seen any evidence
of this yet. I have looked further into the background behind the two headlines. The comments on the role of the farmer to grow food for the nation were associated with a presentation by the NFU President, Minette Batters to the 2022 Annual NFU Conference. She presented the issues and challenges
for UK Agriculture and was critical of DEFRA's path to Sustainable Farming; a 3-year transition plan which sets out plans for a range of schemes including initiatives to increase biodiversity, restore landscapes, promote animal welfare and increase productivity through investment in new equipment
and technology. Central to the new regime is the Environmental Land Management Scheme (ELMS). Future subsidies for UK farmers, replacing the old EU CAP, will be split between the sustainable farming initiatives; large-scale nature schemes, such as rewilding; and farm-level wildlife projects.
My intention in this editorial is not to become involved in political discussions, but I do question if there should be a rethink in government policies, which have been stated as being focussed on anything other than domestic food production. In addition, if it is true that we can expect
40% of crops lost to pests, surely we should put some effort into reducing this?
The International Day of Plant Health 2022: Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations
Authors: Lucas John A.
Published: August 2022

The United Nations General Assembly declared 2020 as the International Year of Plant Health (IYPH), a "once in a lifetime opportunity to raise global awareness on how protecting plant health can help end hunger, reduce poverty, protect the environment, and boost economic development."
By a sad coincidence, the IYPH was upstaged by a major human health crisis, the emergence and global spread of Covid 19. Many of the planned activities were disrupted or delayed into the following year. Nonetheless, the extended campaign attracted good media coverage and raised awareness of
the importance of healthy plants. One legacy was establishment of an International Day of Plant Health (IDPH) to be held every year on May 12th. This article is based on a Virtual Webinar marking the first IDPH in May 2022. The two hour programme, entitled Plant Health Innovation for Food
Security, was introduced by Beth Bechdol, FAO Deputy Director-General, Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO). She set the scene with a short but impactful promotional video, World of Plants (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cmPAwiIK2BU) including the messages,
"Your life relies on mine, I am plants I am life", leading to the slogan Protecting plants, protecting life.
Russian Constitutionalism and Elections in Noble Assemblies under Alexander I
Authors: Timofeev Dmitry
Published: August 2022

In historiography, the Russian constitutionalism of the first quarter of the nineteenth century has traditionally been considered a result of the ideological influence of the European political and legal theories and the content of foreign constitutions known to contemporaries. What escaped researchers’ attention was the influence of the existing experience of holding elections in noble assemblies which the authors of constitutional projects referred to as a basic model for forming bodies of class representation. Electoral practices allowed the emperor and his immediate environment to estimate the degree of formation of one of the most significant conditions for introducing a constitution in Russia, i. e. the fact that the eligible for political rights possessed necessary moral qualities, desire, and abilities for partnership in the development and discussion of laws. The author analyses archival materials from the Russian State Historical Archive, acts, and M. M. Speransky’s private correspondence with V. P. Kochubey. For the first time in national historiography, the article presents recurring problem situations deemed by contemporaries as critical, interfering with the normal functioning of election systems. The most significant of them was the impossibility to draw up electoral lists in due time and authentically, reveal and prevent facts of a deliberate distortion of data on property, cases of false purchase and sale of manors; lack of the necessary number of noblemen who would correspond to all to the criteria established by the law and have the skills required; conspiracy or bribery of electors by the persons interested in the victory of a candidate; cases of “evasion of duty” by already elected candidates. Such cases were treated as a manifestation of unworthy behaviour of noblemen who turned the election procedure into an instrument of negative selection of candidates. Finally, the author concludes that in the government circles of Russia in the first quarter of the nineteenth century, together with the understanding of the inefficiency of the existing local management system, the negative experience of electoral practices was an argument for the inopportuneness of introducing a constitution.
A study on the correlation between pain frequency and severity and vitamin B12 levels in episodic and chronic migraine
Authors: Üstün Özek Sibel
Published: August 2022

ABSTRACT Background It is believed that vitamin B12 deficiency and hyperhomocysteinemia cause endothelial cell damage by increasing the levels of free oxygen radicals, which may, in turn, be related to the onset of migraine episodes. Objective The objective of our study was to ascertain a correlation between vitamin B12 levels and migraine attack frequency and pain severity. Methods 127 patients with migraine and 45 healthy controls who presented to Okmeydanı Training and Research Hospital were included in the study. The migraine attack frequency and the duration and severity of pain in migraineurs were recorded. Pain severity was evaluated using a visual analogue scale (VAS). Vitamin B12 levels below 300 ng/L were considered low. Results The vitamin B12 levels in migraineurs were found to be significantly lower than those in the control group (227.30 ± 104.72 ng/L vs 278.44 ± 149.83 ng/L; p = 0.047). The vitamin B12 levels of patients with chronic migraine (CM) were found to be lower than those in patients with less frequent migraine attacks (197.50 ± 69.16 ng/L vs 278.56 ± 147.91 ng/L; p = 0.019). The ratio of vitamin B12 levels of 300 ng/L and above in patients with CM was lower than that of patients with episodic migraine (p < 0.05). Conclusions Along with attack frequency and pain severity assessment, it is important that migraine follow-ups should include regular measurement of vitamin B12 levels. We found lower vitamin B12 values in the CM group.

Published: August 2022

ABSTRACT This is a theoretical-reflective study, with the objective of discussing the concepts of continuity and coordination of care, its conceptual interface and nurses’ actions for its effectiveness in health services, based on international and national scientific publications. The concepts have been studied for decades and, although they are interrelated, they are used in a similar way, indicating a lack of conceptual understanding. The concept of continuity underwent paradigm shifts and began to adopt patients’ perspectives. Currently, it involves interpersonal, longitudinal, management and informational domains. Coordination consists of establishing connections between the possible elements involved in care. It is classified as horizontal and vertical and is organized into categories: sequential, parallel and indirect. Nurses stand out through actions aimed at coordination and continuity at different levels of care, which contributes to strengthening a cohesive and people-centered care. The interface between concepts indicates that, in order to achieve integrated and continuous services, continuity and coordination of care need to be interconnected and act together.

Published: August 2022

When grout is used to penetrate voids and cracks in soils and rock layers, easy and effective pumping of the grouts is vital, especially for grouting works during geotechnical improvements. For this reason, improving the rheological parameters of cement-based grouts and increasing their fluidity are important for effective grouting injection. In this study, an experimental investigation and analysis using artificial neural network (ANN) models were used to discover how nano silica (n-SiO2) together with fly ash affects the rheological behaviour of cement-based grouts. The effects of nano silica (n-SiO2) additions at different contents by mass (0.0%, 0.3%, 0.6%, 0.9%, 1.2% and 1.5%) on the plastic viscosity and yield stress values of cement-based grouts incorporating fly ash as a mineral additive at different amounts (0% – as a control, 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25% and 30%) were investigated. Using the experimental data obtained, a feed-forward (FF) back-propagation (BP) multi-layer perceptron (MLP) artificial neural network (ANN) was developed to predict the plastic viscosity and yield stress of cement-based grouts with nano silica nanoparticle additives. The ANN model developed can predict the plastic viscosity and yield stress values of cement-based grouts containing nano silica nanoparticle-doped fly ash with high accuracy.
Adsorption of phenol by sugarcane biochar@bentonite
Authors: Chen Ying , Yu Chuang , Cai Xiaoqing , Yu Xiaoniu
Published: August 2022

Phenol is a hazardous organic chemical that is introduced into the environment by industrial and pharmaceutical discharges. Bentonite can remove harmful substances in the environment and is widely used in the field of environmental geotechnical engineering. However, the adsorption effect of bentonite on organic pollutants is poor. At the same time, its permeability and expansion characteristics are easily affected by saline solutions and acid aqueous solutions. Biochar, as a simple and low-cost adsorbent, can effectively remove inorganic and organic pollutants. The purpose of this study is to prepare a composite material including biochar and bentonite and improve the removal efficiency of phenol and the impermeability of bentonite in saline and acidic aqueous solutions. The adsorbents were characterised by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and Brunauer–Emmett–Teller nitrogen (N2) method. The permeability coefficients of bentonite and sugarcane biochar@bentonite (SuBC@Ben) were determined. The effects of bentonite, SuBC@Ben and sugarcane biochar on the removal of phenol under different contact times, concentrations, pH values and temperatures were studied. The results show that the change range of the SuBC@Ben permeability coefficient is not obvious with the increase in saline solution concentration, indicating that SuBC@Ben has good impermeability in saline solution.
Medicina veterinaria forense y genética animal:

La veterinaria forense debe generar una conexión entre el campo jurídico y el médico-biológico. Se debe convertir en una especialidad independiente que brinde los soportes necesarios para la impartición de justicia. Cuando se estudia el maltrato animal, es necesario establecer el tipo de lesiones, las causas de estas y el momento de ocurrencia. La práctica de esta disciplina en Colombia es relativamente nueva, ya que gracias a la Ley 1774 de 2016 se origina el marco jurídico para la integridad física y emocional de los animales, el cual permite tipificar como delito el maltrato a cualquier especie animal y crea la necesidad de establecer las metodologías para abordar la investigación de estos actos punibles. Aunque existen estos soportes legales que dan luz del qué hacer para un profesional del área, aún quedan vacíos legales. Esta revisión contextualiza las diferentes aplicaciones de la veterinaria legal con las leyes colombianas y el soporte que pueden dar otras áreas afines. Por tal razón, se hace necesario un trabajo holístico al momento del peritaje y la colaboración multidisciplinaria para abarcar varios acampos de aplicación.

Este artículo tuvo como finalidad establecer los tipos de capacidades que se catalogan como dinámicas (CD) y analizar los vínculos que los conectan conceptualmente. Para esto, se desarrolló una revisión sistemática de literatura y se realizó un análisis de conceptos para determinar los tipos de capacidades dinámicas y su relación. Se unificaron y definieron siete tipos de capacidades dinámicas de importancia para las organizaciones: 1) Capacidad de Detección (CDe); 2) Capacidad de Integración y Coordinación (CIC); 3) Capacidad de Reconfiguración (CR); 4) Capacidad de Aprendizaje (CAp); 5) Capacidad de Innovación (CI); 6) Capacidad de Alianza (CA), y 7) Capacidad de Gestión y Liderazgo (CGL). Se plantearon las relaciones conceptuales entre los constructos identificados, lo que permitió evidenciar que estas capacidades se complementan y potencian entre sí. Los resultados son un insumo fundamental para el sector empresarial, ya que facilita la identificación y aplicación de las capacidades dinámicas por parte de las organizaciones y proporciona una base para su estudio científico.

Introduction: Acute mesenteric ischemia (AMI) is a condition in which there is a sudden cessation of blood supply to a particular intestinal segment and consequent cellular damage. Although it has a low incidence of approximately 0.09-0.2% of all emergency surgery admissions, AMI is a severe condition that can cause high early mortality. A direct relationship between an increased mean platelet volume (MPV) and acute thrombotic events has been shown in recent years. we aimed to find out whether the diagnosis of mesenteric ischemia and the amount of bowel segment affected by ischemia will guide clinicians preoperatively with these markers Material and Method: A total of 57 cases with bowel resection due to mesenteric ischemia were included in the study. The gender, age, serum platelet (PLT), MPV, white blood cell count (WBC), neutrophil count (NEU), lymphocyte count (LYM), Albumin, CRP, neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), MPV/Platelet Count, and CRP-albumin ratio (CAR) levels at the time of admission, operation time, length of resected bowel segment, length of hospital stay, presence of necrosis and perforation from pathology reports, and length of bowel segment leading to necrosis were scanned. Results: A moderate negative correlation was found between the length of resected bowel segment and PLT (P
A Cultural Semiotic Interpretation of Heaven Writing in Lewis’ The Great Divorce
Authors: Shi Tongtong
Published: August 2022

Heaven writing is an important theme of literature. CS Lewis, a contemporary British writer, uses rich symbols to construct heaven in his work The Great Divorce. This study analyzed those symbols through the lens of cultural semiotics. Guided by Yuri Lotman (Юрий Лотман)’s symbolism, this study separates them into traditional symbols and innovative symbols according to their functions as preserving and creating cultural memory. Traditional symbols are coded based on the conventions of cultural memory and derived from the past texts and they are used to set the surroundings and background; innovative symbols, embedded with the theme of the word, come from the reconstruction of the conventionalized expressions or contents in the new context, in order to produce new cultural memory.
The Analysis of the Soldier from Systemic Functional Linguistic Perspectives
Authors: Yu Xintong
Published: August 2022

The Soldier is a sonnet written in 1914 by Rupert Brook, a British war poet. The paper aims at analyzing the poem by applying M.A.K. Halliday’s Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) as a theoretical framework. The study mainly adopts a qualitative methodology to analyze the text by text linguistics. However, the quantitative methodology is also used to calculate the proportions of each metafunctional process in this poem. The main findings of this paper are: 1) Topic theme: the themes of the poem are I, dust, England, this heart, et., which show the soldie'’s love and gratefulness for England; 2) The focus of tense: The Soldier starts with a conditional clause and then uses present and past tense to create a context as if he was depicting a real external world instead of an imagination from the inner world. 3) Patterning and re-patterning: The patterning analysis shows the soldier in the poem emphasizes his motivation for sacrificing and spreading the precious things in England who had brought him up. The paper concludes that The Soldier shows a strong sense of patriotism, which might be an approval for the former literary studies of this poem from linguistic aspects.
On the Mythological Prototype of Bird in a Dream of Red Mansions
Authors: Liu Borui
Published: August 2022

At present, there are abundant researches and writings on a Dream of Red Mansions. It is also common to study the mythological structure in it. However, the imagists pay little attention to the “bird”, which is rich in connotation, and there are few works to explain it from the perspective of archetypal criticism. This paper aims to enrich the mythological structure of A Dream of Red Mansions, using archetypal criticism and mythological criticism methods, to study the formation mechanism of the god bird worship in ancient China and its influence on the collective unconsciousness of Cao Xueqin, author of A Dream of Red Mansions, and through analyzing characters such as Hsi-feng, Pao-yu, Tai-yu, and Lady Dowager, this paper confirms the existence of the god-bird worship psychology, which believes that a large number of bird images in A Dream of Red Mansions are rooted in the consciousness of Chinese ancestors, and they have unique connotations at the same time.
Analysis of Squealer’s Character in Animal Farm Based on Turn-Taking Theory
Authors: Chen Yindi , Liu Meiyan
Published: August 2022

Squealer in the novella Animal Farm is rarely studied. However, as the mouthpiece of the ruling class, Squealer’s character is worth exploring. Therefore, this paper intends to study his character on the basis of turn-taking theory. Analysis reveals that, to hold his turn, Squealer employs spacemaking strategies and monologue, which displays his duplicity and arrogance. Besides, he seizes the chance to take his turn by means of interruptions with irrelevant words, indicating his indifference and selfishness. When yielding his turn, he nominates other animals with threatening words, showing his hypocrisy and cunning. Conclusion is drawn that, for the sake of his class, Squealer tends to muzzle other animals’ thought to consolidate their rule.

The Acquisition of English Articles by Chinese Learners
Authors: Xiong Lijia
Published: August 2022

English articles pose a lot of problems even after years of L2 English exposure and learning. The question is why it is so difficult to acquire these elements when a learner does not have them in their native language. This question points to a deeper reason that involves looking into the structure of L1 and L2 and understanding their differences. In this paper, we focus on Chinese learners of English, where Chinese is a language without articles. In order to find out more about the differences in the structure of the grammar between the elementary and advanced learners, we conducted a simple empirical study using a close test. The results show that there are differences between article use among elementary and advanced learners, and that advanced learners were more target-like in their article use than the elementary learners.
