Published: February 2022

Background: Interwoven nitinol stents (INS) and drug-eluting stents (DES) were designed to improve the mid- and long-term results of femoropopliteal (F-P) angioplasty. The aim of this study was to systematically compare these stents. Methods: Between 2015 and 2017, 62 patients with symptomatic peripheral artery disease of the F-P segment treated by INS or DES were identified from a prospectively maintained institutional database. The primary outcome measure was one-year primary patency; secondary outcomes were in-stent restenosis (ISR), stent occlusion, target lesion revascularization (TLR) and mortality. Results: The mean follow-up was 26.9 ± 11.2 months. No statistically significant difference in primary patency at one year was observed (88.6% vs. 88.9%). Throughout follow-up, overall rates of ISR (5.7% vs. 11.1%, p = 0.645), stent occlusion (25.7% vs. 7.4%, p = 0.094) and TLR (25.7% vs. 18.5%, p = 0.505) were statistically equivalent between the groups. Mortality reached 14.3% in the INS group and 3.7% in the DES group, but this difference was not statistically significant (p=0.196). Multivariable analysis revealed significant correlations between ISR and stent occlusions; popliteal lesion localization (p = 0.016) and poor below the knee vessel outflow (p < 0.001). Conclusion: In the short- and mid-term, the use of an INS or DES in the F-P arterial segment did not result in a difference in primary patency rate, stent occlusion, restenosis, re-intervention or mortality. The overall data do not provide any evidence to favor one stent over the other.

Background: Holoptelea integrifolia has been used for a long time in traditional medicine to cure inflammatory pain. The goal of the current research was to consider the anti-inflammatory activity and phytochemicals study of both the extracts of the stem bark of Holoptelea integrifolia. Methods: Anti-inflammatory potential was figure out in Carrageenan and Histamine models at 200 mg/kg doses. Apart from this, we have evaluated parameters like paw edema body weight, locomotor activity, hematological, biochemical assessment, etc. Results: Qualitative chemical test investigation of both the extracts of H. integrifolia stem bark acknowledge the presence of proteins, amino acids, alkaloids, glycosides, tannins, and flavenoids. The 200 mg/kg, p.o dose of the extract showed remarked (P < 0.05) dose-dependent inhibition of edema formation. Both the ethanolic extract (200 mg/ kg, b. w) and aqueous extract (200 mg/ kg, b. w) of H. integrifolia stem bark showed remarked anti-inflammatory properties in comparison to reference drug Ibuprofen. In the Carrageenan model, the ethanolic extract has good anti-inflammatory activity than the aqueous extract. So, the ethanolic extract of stem bark of H. integrifolia is used to combat inflammation alone or with other conventional anti-inflammatory agents to treat different inflammatory disorders. Conclusion: Taken together, these results support the traditional use of Holoptelea integrifolia as a potent anti-inflammatory agent that may be proposed for the treatment of inflammatory pain.

Serotonin plays an important role in the cardiovascular system and is a humoral system of regulators and modulators of physiological processes. Under pathological conditions, it can result in developing some factors contributing to the development of diseases, such as atherosclerosis, arterial and pulmonary hypertension. The 5-HT4 and 5-HT2B receptors have been identified in cardiomyocytes, which are involved in the regulation of the inotropic function of the myocardium. The serotonergic system is an essential link in embryonic development. As a key signaling molecule in heart progenitor cells, serotonin is involved in the development and differentiation of myocardial cells as well as the separation of the heart chambers. Therefore, interfering with this system in the womb and changing its concentration can disrupt normal development of the heart. It has been established that any change in the concentration of serotonin created by the blockade of the synthesis of serotonin and the membrane serotonin transporter in the embryonic period of ontogenesis, leads to a decrease in the contraction strength of the right ventricular myocardium in 7-day-old infant rats. However, at the age of 14 days, intergroup differences are not manifested. At 7 days of age, the response of the contraction strength to the maximum concentration of serotonin is lower in infant rats with an excess of serotonin and higher in infant rats with its deficiency, as compared to those animals in the control group. At the age of 14 days, the response of the contraction strength in both experimental groups has been reduced in comparison with the animals in the control group.

Background: Tuberculosis is a chronic infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis and still it is a common disease in developing countries. A variety of hematological parameters are studied in tuberculous patients such as decreased Hb(anemia), increased WBC count, increased ESR, and thrombocytopenia. Nowadays TB is a curable and preventable disease. The present study was undertaken to study the ESR values in TB patients and compare their values with ZiehlNelson staining. Method: The present study was carried out on 328 patients who had sputum smear-positive for AFB. based on the recommendation of the RNTCP grading system of AFB in Sputum ZiehlNelson staining, the cases of PTB group were further categorized into four subgroups AFB– 3+, AFB – 2+, AFB –1+ and scanty. The ESR was performed by a rapidly modified Westergren method on EDTA whole blood sample. Results: out of the 324 cases of tuberculosis collected from our hospital, male 252, female 72 from 14-80 years of age. ESR was elevated in patients with an increased grading of sputum positive (3+). The distribution of the mean value of, ESR in different grades of ZN staining of sputum in AFB positive patients was scanty(35.5), 1+(27.5), 2+(30.2),3+(42.4). respectively. Conclusion: Our study concluded that active TB is associated mostly with very high ESR values (≥ 100 mm/h) and with markedly raised values in all the grades of sputum AFB positive patients.

Introdução: Apesar de o aborto no Brasil não ser considerado crime nos casos de risco de vida materno e em casos de estupro desde 1940, e mais recentemente em casos de anencefalia, muitas mulheres encontram barreiras no sistema jurídico e assistencial para realização do aborto, mesmo nos casos previstos em lei. Objetivo: Descrever o perfil clínico e sociodemográfico das mulheres submetidas à interrupção legal da gestação em hospital universitário entre março de 2018 e setembro de 2020 em Vitória (ES). Métodos: Estudo de coorte retrospectiva com revisão de prontuários de todas as pacientes que tiveram interrupção da gravidez por razões legais. Foram excluídas pacientes que sofreram aborto espontâneo e pacientes que levaram gestação a termo, mesmo nos casos de estupro ou fetos anencéfalos. Resultados: Foram encontradas 39 pacientes, sendo 22 gestações interrompidas por serem frutos de violência sexual e 17 de fetos anencéfalos. A média de idade gestacional no momento do abortamento foi de 16 semanas e 6 dias. Dezoito pacientes eram primíparas. A média de idade foi 24,5 anos, tendo três delas 14 anos. Seis pacientes apresentaram intercorrências. Foram encontrados dois testes rápidos de sífilis positivos, sendo eles nas pacientes com fetos anencéfalos. Conclusão: Os resultados condizem com a literatura ao detalhar uma população vulnerável. Constatou-se, neste estudo, tratar-se de uma população jovem, de primíparas, de solteiras e com baixa escolaridade. Ter um perfil detalhado dessas gestantes é de suma importância para planejamentos de políticas públicas para conduzir adequadamente e de forma humanizada as pacientes que apresentam essa demanda.

Introdução: A sexualidade é vista como uma expressão cultural, comportamental, biológica e psicológica, não apenas se limitando às relações sexuais, mas a um processo que envolve também relações afetivas. No ciclo gravídico-puerperal a sexualidade pode ser influenciada por uma série de mudanças que afetam os comportamentos e cuidados de saúde. Objetivo: Avaliar o perfil sexual de mulheres na gestação e puerpério. Métodos: Trata-se de um estudo transversal realizado com 60 mulheres que realizavam consultas de puericultura em uma unidade de Atenção Básica em Saúde em Fortaleza, Ceará. As mulheres foram questionadas quanto a prática de atividade sexual, presença de dispareunia, uso de preservativo e prevalência de infecções sexualmente transmissíveis durante a gestação e após o parto. Os dados foram analisados por meio do programa SPSS e para as variáveis dicotômicas foi utilizado o teste de qui-quadrado de Pearson e para as variáveis categóricas, o teste U de Mann-Whitney. Resultados: A idade média das mulheres da amostra foi 26,2 (desvio padrão: 5,7), variando entre os 18 aos 40 anos. Em relação à função sexual das mulheres, 91,7% (n=55) eram sexualmente ativas, 56,7% (n=34) usavam preservativo, 61,7% (n=37) não relataram dispareunia e 90,0% (n=54) não relatou nenhuma infecção sexualmente transmitida. Mulheres casadas retornavam à atividade sexual com mais frequência (p=0,043) e aquelas que realizaram parto cesáreo usaram preservativo com mais frequência (p=0,002). Além disso, foi evidenciada significância entre o estado cívil e a atividade sexual (p=0,043), e as mulheres solteiras relataram menos atividades sexuais. Conclusão: Os resultados encontrados mostram que as mulheres apresentam comportamentos de saúde adequados e que tanto o estado civil e a via de parto influenciam na prática e nos cuidados relacionados à saúde sexual e reprodutiva.

This paper reviews the urban redevelopment activities in Shanghai as the land market reforms were introduced. We focus on the impact of land use institutions on the spatial pattern of these activities. Sites for private real estate redevelopment were supplied by individual districts in the city. But the need for districts to pay for the resettlement of displaced residents contributed to a spatial mismatch between the supply of redevelopment sites and the market demand for commercial real estate space. Resettlement costs are highest at the high demand locations. State owned enterprises and institutions occupying land allocated by the state also engaged in real estate development. Whereas the density of private redevelopment was sensitive to the volume of commercial activities in a district, this does not appear to have been important in determining the location of the significant increase in the stock of commercial space resulting from development by local enterprises and institutions. This growth shows considerable decentralization between 1993 and 1996, 50 Fu, Somerville, Gu and Huang indicative of spatially inefficient redevelopment activities by land-rich state enterprises.

This study introduces a combined method, on the basis of both system dynamics and econometric modeling, in forecasting the office rental values in Hong Kong. The findings suggest that the office rental values in Hong Kong appear to be more fluctuating when the price level of the office ownership market is comparatively volatile, likely due to the over-reaction of economic trends by the supply side of the property market. It is plausible to say development lags and adjustment cost, under the current land policies in Hong Kong, are the main attributes behind this phenomenon. In order to reduce the volatility on the office market, the government should relax the approval procedures concerning changing land use, and the subsequent rearrangement of premium payment. Further, the current policies on land sales need to be revised, especially concerning the application list system. Those measures could reduce the time required and the transaction cost incurred for the supply side to adjust to the ever-changing demand.

This study captures the essential elements of the price expectations of market participants in a rising market. Adopting a forward-looking approach, this paper explores the effectiveness of expectations as an indicator of forthcoming housing price changes in Hong Kong. Examination of the quarterly survey data from December 2003 to September 2007 indicates that both homeowners and non-homeowners tend to overestimate the probability of future housing price increases yet underestimate its volatility. This adds weight to the argument that market participants are generally not rational in the prediction of price movement. Homeowners, investors and potential home buyers have more or less the same level of confidence about the future market outlook. Like non-owners, they expect higher prices. The number of correct forecasts exceeds incorrect forecasts, suggesting that overall price expectations are fairly close to realization. It can be broadly concluded that the aggregate price expectations in the long run can be an appropriate forecasting tool for future market performance.

We find that the 3-day window around funds from operations (FFO) announcements drives the momentum profits found in the literature, which deliver an average excess monthly return of 1.22% over the period of 1990-2008 and 1.59% during the post-2000 period. Excluding this announcement window, a momentum strategy does not generate any significant returns. The FFO-surprised-based portfolio formation method produces higher momentum profits than the return-based formation method. There is a significant positive serial correlation between the unexpected FFO for the next two quarters. We contribute to the current literature by documenting that the persistence of momentum profits is due to the underreaction by analysts on public information, the FFO announcement.

We have analyzed the market reaction to REIT preferred stock ratings announced by Moody's Investors Service from 1999 to 2009 that are related to four types of rating events; first time ratings, outlook changes, reviews and actual rating changes. The results suggest a significant market reaction to rating upgrades of 1.08% abnormal return, and downgrades and negative outlooks of -2.28% and -2.67% abnormal returns, respectively. Compared to the non-REIT literature, the abnormal returns are smaller in magnitude which implies a relatively smaller information asymmetry within the REIT market with diversification opportunities for global investors.

The main contribution of this study is to examine the extreme dependence between the real estate securities and stock markets in Australia, China, Hong Kong, Japan, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore and Taiwan between January 1995 and March 2011. For each market, we derive time series tail dependence coefficients (TDC) which measure how likely financial returns move in extreme market conditions by using the dynamic conditional correlation (DCC) methodology provided by Engle (2002). Overall, our results indicate that Singapore, the Philippines and Hong Kong have the highest extreme real estate–stock market co-movement of at least 50%. In addition, during the global financial crisis (GFC) period, the securitized real estate and common stock markets in China, Hong Kong, Japan, the Philippines and Singapore displayed the highest extreme dependence to react together to financial turmoil. The results in this paper also show that the extreme dependence patterns of real estate stock markets are similar for many of the Asia-Pacific economies. Finally, correlation coefficients are not adequate for explaining extreme co-movements between the securitized real estate and common stock markets in the longer period, as well as in the two-year GFC periods. Our TDC modeling with Asia-Pacific securitized real estate and stock markets provide useful information and advice to international investors and risk management personnel in tactical asset allocation so as to manage the extreme dependence between securitized real estate and common stock market.

We estimate a demand function for household floor space in the Kanto area in Japan by using a survey questionnaire, and conduct calibrations to investigate whether effective demand is consistent with the prescribed targeted or minimum floor space in Japan¡¦s Basic Act for Housing. The results indicate that one- and two-person families can afford relatively large houses, but many three-person families with lower incomes and most four- and five-person families cannot afford housing that meets the Act¡¦s targeted housing standards. This result implies that further subsidies are needed to achieve the Act's targets.

Filsafat Tinjauan Filsafat Moral Immanuel Kant Terhadap Perzinaan Dalam Pancasila Buddhis
Authors: Niken Niken Wardani
Published: February 2022

Perzinahan dipandang dari aspek religious merupakan perbuatan yang melanggar sila ke-3 dari Pancasila Buddhis yaitu: “Aku bertekad untuk melatih diri menghindari perbuatan perzinahan”. Syarat suatu perbuatan disebut sebagai perzinahan adalah: 1) ada objek pelanggaran (perbuatannya); 2) si pelanggar (pelaku); 3) sarana fisik yang siap sebagai kondisi untuk pemuasan nafsu itu (pasangan dalam melakukan perbuatan itu); dan 4) tindakan itu) terpenuhi atau terlaksana. Perbuatan perzinahan disebabkan oleh adanya keterikatan pada objek (lobha) dan kebodohan batin (moha), dan dipengaruhi oleh bentuk pikiran buruk (Akusala-cetasika) yaitu Ahirika (tidak malu berbuat jahat), dan Anottappa (tidak takut akan akibat berbuat jahat). Sehingga akibat dari perbuatan perzinaahn adalah memiliki musuh, tidak disukai semua orang, adanya rasa takut, adanya kecenderungan untuk jenis kelamin perempuan atau jenis kelamin netral pada kehidupan berikutnya. Dan secara sebagian besar perbuatan perzinahan dapat mendorong seseorang terlahir di alam setan (Peta) dan raksana (Asurakaya) apabila dengan kekuatan Lobha yang memimpin, dan terlahir di alam binatang (Tiracchanayoni) dengan kekuatan Moha yang mendominasi. Capaian filsafat moral Immanuel Kant, bahwa perbuatan perzinahan adalah perbuatan yang tidak bermoral karena perbuatan itu tidak membuat manusia menjadi baik tetapi sebaliknya membuat hidup manusia menjadi tidak baik. Sehingga hal itu harus diperangi dengan menjalankan aturan moralitas yang apriori atau wajib dilaksankan supaya kehidupan manusia menjadi baik. Pelaksanaan sila yang didasari oleh kehendak yang kuat yaitu tekad untuk kebaikan diri manusia itu sendiri (an sich). Sila dilaksanakan sebagai kewajiban dengan tanpa syarat dan tanpa pamrih, murni dan a priori, murni untuk kewajiban itu. Dan hal ini sebagai bentuk penyelarasan manusia dengan Allah, dengan melaksanakan moralitas yang dilandasi oleh tekad yang tanpa syarat sebagai sebuah kewajiban hidup

Authors: Campos Marco Antonio , Passos Luciano , Argollo Ferrão André Munhoz de , Moreno Junior Armando Lopes
Published: February 2022

O uso de materiais alternativos e reciclados em argamassas resulta em benefícios não apenas à construção civil, mas para toda a sociedade, pois estes materiais não serão descartados na natureza. Os setores metalúrgico e cerâmico são responsáveis por considerável descarte de materiais, caso da areia de descarte de fundição, metalúrgico, e dos isoladores elétricos de porcelana, cerâmico. A caracterização física e química destes materiais permite de início sua utilização na construção civil em substituição aos agregados comuns. Portanto, este trabalho estudou as propriedades físicas, mecânicas e de durabilidade, nas idades iniciais, de argamassas com diferentes teores e combinações de areia de fundição e isoladores de porcelana substituindo o agregado miúdo comum. Os resultados de resistência à compressão simples aliados a análise microestrutural de seus compostos atestam a utilização da areia de fundição e dos isoladores de porcelana em substituição a areia em argamassa.

Authors: Guardia Gleison , Fabiano Israel Azevedo , Nascimento Miguel Bonim do
Published: February 2022

No Brasil, além das mortes incontroláveis, a COVID-19 mudou o jeito de convivermos e trabalharmos. Muitas pessoas perderam seus empregos, outras foram impedidas de trabalhar. Para mitigar estes impactos, o governo federal implantou o auxílio emergencial, consistindo-se de uma ajuda financeira para as pessoas mais carentes e ou que estivessem em vulnerabilidade social. Milhares de pessoas que não receberam o auxílio emergencial, recorreram à Justiça Federal solicitando seu direito, fato que ocasionou num grande acúmulo de processos num sistema que já está sobrecarregado. Com a finalidade de auxiliar o TRF1, a equipe do IARPJe foi convidada a implementar uma solução automatizada que solucionasse o problema. O robô implementado e desenvolvido em Python utilizando a metodologia de Web Scraping, movimentou e minutou mais de 23 mil processos que aguardavam sentença em 30 dias de funcionamento, mostrando-se eficaz e robusto para automação de tarefas no PJe.
El Comité nacional de ética de investigación: una necesidad elemental en Honduras.
Authors: Moya Díaz Geovanna Michele
Published: February 2022

La investigación científica y la ética de la investigación en Honduras han atravesado una constante transformación y restructuración a través de los años. En la actualidad, la legislación al respecto en el país es escasa, aun no se ha creado una entidad reconocida a nivel nacional que vele por la protección de la autonomía y los derechos de los participantes de estudios de investigación en seres humanos a nivel de país, o que regule el funcionamiento y la organización de todos los procesos que llevan a cabo los comités de ética de Investigación institucionales ya conformados. Este trabajo tiene como objetivo hacer una reflexión crítica sobre la creación de un comité nacional de ética de Investigación en Honduras, para esto, se enfatizó en la Red de Comités de Ética de investigación, los conflictos de interés en la conformación de los comités de ética de Investigación, la capacitación de sus miembros y la legislación nacional sobre ética de investigación en el país. Es una necesidad elemental conformar un ente regulador de los aspectos éticos en la investigación científica que se realiza en Honduras, que se encargue de velar por la protección de nuestra población, principalmente la que se encuentra en vulnerabilidad y que es sometida a estudios multicéntricos, ensayos clínicos de medicamentos y vacunas, entre otros estudios que involucráan la participación directa de seres humanos y otras especies vivas.

Authors: López Carcache Ali
Published: February 2022

Este ensayo presenta los resultados del análisis de la irrupción de las Tecnologías de Información y Comunicación en el proceso de educación en las Instituciones de Educación Superior. Se hace una reflexión de las nuevas estrategias que se utilizan en los salones de clase como el uso de móviles, aulas invertidas o tareas colaborativas retadoras que no sean lineales, sino resolución de casos donde se relacionan con la familia y la comunidad. Se comenta el movimiento STEM. La base ontológica de la investigación sobre Estrategias Educativas se encuentra sustentada en la Teoría Critica, el fundamento epistemológico general es la Teoría Socio-Constructivismo y matizada con elementos de la Educación Popular. La epistemología especifica del estudio se basó en Nicholas C. Burbules, Michael Fullan y Carina Lion. Asimismo, el enfoque metodológico se apoya en la Teoría de Redes Complejas, Teoría de Grafos, investigación bibliográfica, entre otros. Se finaliza con las perspectivas de las actitudes y aptitudes esperadas en los profesionales en el contexto globalizado y con una pandemia sin precedentes, además los aportes del estudio al ámbito de la educación y social.
Del caos a la autoorganización en arquitectura
Authors: Garache Zamora Marythel
Published: February 2022

La autoorganización en la arquitectura, diseñar un espacio en armonía entre orden y caos es necesario, para el crecimiento del nuevo paradigma, puesto que forma una nueva perspectiva para un mejor entendimiento del caos y de los procesos complejos. Una arquitectura en movimiento añade complejidad a las imágenes fractales generando estás a su vez formas complejas a partir de códigos simples. Si la complejidad en arquitectura no es bien ejecutada, y si se queda alienada en la distracción de las apariencias, puede confrontar otros fundamentos de carácter arquitectónico, perder calidad y ser prematuramente fugaz, si esta arquitectura simbólica compleja no está sustentada en un conjunto de propiedades que garanticen una calidad más global, entonces en el mensaje que quiere transmitir una vez asimilado, muchas veces es reemplazado u olvidado.
ECMI Minorities Blog. German minority as hostage and victim of populist politics in Poland
Authors: Mazurkiewicz Marek
Published: February 2022

On 4 February 2022, the Polish Journal of Laws published a new ordinance of the Minister of Education and Science, implementing cuts in the funding of education of German as a minority language. Consequently, the hourly length of such lessons will be significantly reduced. This regulation applies exclusively to the German minority, and the official motive for introducing discriminatory measures is to improve the situation of Polish diaspora in Germany. This is the first time after 1989 when the Polish state authorities introduce a law limiting the rights of Poland’s citizens belonging to a national minority (in this situation children), as a retaliation for the alleged situation of a kin-community elsewhere. Importantly, the adopted regulations are not only discriminatory towards one of the minorities; their implementation may in fact contribute to the dysfunctionality of the entire minority education system in Poland. This is also an obvious violation of the constitutional principle of equality before the law, the right of minorities to ‘maintain and develop their own language’, international standards of minority rights protection, as well as a threat to the very functioning of human rights protection mechanisms in the country.

New molecular mechanisms related to drug resistance in tuberculosis
Authors: Zenteno-Cuevas Roberto
Published: February 2022

Despite the global efforts tuberculosis (TB) remains as one of the most important infectious disease and with the greatest impact on global public health, this situation has been aggravated in recent decades by the growing problem of drug resistance (DR). Such is the impact of the drug resistant in tuberculosis that would threaten the Millennium Development Goals. In addition to polymorphisms in genes associated with drug resistance in tuberculosis, new mechanisms have being described in recent years. Considering the above, the aim of this mini-review is to give a brief description of the traditional mechanisms related with drug resistance and to describe two of the new mechanisms that will have an important impact in the next future; efflux pumps and DNA damage repair mechanisms.

A conceptual model of water transport through unsaturated soil zone
Authors: DATTA P. S. , GUPTA S. K. , SHARMA S. C.
Published: February 2022

A simple conceptual model of water transport in the unsaturated soil zone is presented. The transport of water is visualized in pulses of infiltrating sheet through a series of inter-connected expandable mixing cells. By applying mass balance equation, successively to each hypothetical mixing cell sub-dividing the soil profile, at discrete time intervals, the process of dispersion and mixing during transport of water through the unsaturated zone is mathematically approximated. Simulation of tritium tracing experiments in Indo-Gangetic plains of north India, using the above model, is shown to closely reproduce the field data. A close correlation is seen to exist between the rainfall and the estimated number of recharge pulses from the field data.
