Orbital schwannoma, a rare entity. case report
Authors:   Guillermo Almenara Hospital, Peru, Vargas John , Contreras Camilo , Palacios Fernando , Romero Eduardo
Published: December 2021

Introduction: Orbital schwannoma is a rare pathology, which constitutes approximately 1 to 6.5% of orbital tumors, and can originate from the ophthalmic branch of the 5th cranial nerve or from perioptic sympathetic nerves. Its diagnosis is made by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with contrast. The first-line treatment is surgery, and total resection provides a good prognosis. The time of illness is used to evaluate the visual prognosis in these patients. Clinical Case: A 12-year-old woman, with a 9-year illness, characterized by a progressive decrease in right visual acuity until reaching amaurosis. Brain MRI with contrast shows an isointense tumor on T1, adhered to the medial aspect of the optic nerve sheath, which captures contrast, slightly hyperintense on T2. Total resection of the lesion is performed, and the diagnosis of schwannoma is confirmed by pathological anatomy. A month after surgery, the patient had slightly recovered her vision, without presenting other complications. Conclusion: Orbital schwannoma is a rare pathology that must be treated surgically as soon as possible to achieve a better visual prognosis for the patient.

Published: December 2021

Introduction: Pneumocephalus is mainly associated with traumatic injuries, being a rare complication but with high mortality rates; it behaves like a space-occupying lesion and increases intracranial pressure. The symptoms are not specific, but in the event of trauma it is necessary to suspect this entity to carry out a timely diagnosis and treatment, since being the product of the skull base fracture it can cause communication with the outside, and the appearance of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak. Clinical Case: a 38-year-old male patient who suffers trauma from a pyrotechnic explosion near his right ear, when handling a pyrotechnic object (whistle) during the New Year, presenting severe pain, slight bleeding in the right ear, feeling faint and holocranial headache that increased in a standing position; likewise, he presents high-flow aqueous secretion (CSF) from the right ear. Brain and skull base tomography (CT) showed air in the intracranial cavity, fracture of the skull base, and the ossicles of the right middle ear. Conservative management was performed using rest and lumbar drainage, presenting a satisfactory evolution. Conclusion: Pneumocephalus is a frequent and expected complication of trauma with a skull base fracture. Its early and timely diagnosis using skull base CT is essential to define therapeutic measures. Accidents due to the misuse of pyrotechnics continue to be a relevant problem in our country. Knowing and disseminating its consequences can help raise awareness in the population. Keywords: Pneumocephalus, Skull Base, Intracranial Pressure, Cerebrospinal Fluid Leak. (Source: MeSH NLM)

La supra-regulación contable y la financiarización económica
Authors: Álvarez Álvarez Hárold , Cortés Jimenez Jhon Henry
Published: December 2021

Un arrollador proceso regulatorio transnacional dispuesto por la Nueva Arquitectura Financiera Internacional ha intervenido en el mundo afectando los procesos informativos y de control contable, tanto en el sector privado como en el público, desde finales del siglo XX. Específicamente el modelo contable emitido por el IASB, privilegia la información para satisfacer las necesidades informativas del denominado capital financiarizado, que participa de forma creciente del valor agregado de los PIB nacionales. Esta dinámica de acumulación de riqueza del capital financiarizado es causante de la inequidad económica que es creciente en los entornos nacionales. La contabilidad como disciplina y como práctica regulada debe recuperar su rol de disciplina social y reorientar su actividad en pro de satisfacer las necesidades informativas de amplios sectores representativos de la sociedad.
Contabilidad Social, Desarrollo Equitativo Y Universidad Crítica: Interrelaciones Y Dependencias. (Social accounting, equitable development and critical university: Interrelations and dependencies).
Authors: Gil Jorge Manuel
Published: December 2021

Destacar el carácter socio científico de la contabilidad, el contenido dialéctico del desarrollo, y la esencia crítica de la universidad, en nuestro presupuesto sobre el carácter científico de la contabilidad subyace la concepción que Mario Bunge efectúa sobre las tecnologías. La dialéctica del desarrollo la encontramos en los trabajos de la Comisión Económica para América Latina - CEPAL y la Escuela Latinoamericana de Prebisch hasta la actualidad; y la autenticidad de la universidad se basa en su propia raíz histórica e institucional. Si no aceptamos estos a priori porque entendemos que la contabilidad no es una ciencia, que el desarrollo no implica un desarrollo polémico, y que la razón de la universidad no es crítica, esta ponencia será estéril; como será estéril proponer que la investigación es la esencia de los conocimientos. No hay contabilidad sin investigación como no hay desarrollo ni universidad sin investigación; el hecho social de investigar para conocer está en el trasfondo de la condición humana; este trabajo es provisional en sus conclusiones e incluye unas palabras iniciales a partir de las propuestas de CLAICON.18, luego un enfoque de la contabilidad desde las ciencias sociales; y como juicio crítico contrapuesto a la idea de cuenta del sentido común; contabilidad deriva de cuentas, por lo que corresponde mencionar este concepto tan frecuentemente olvidado.

Indicadores medioambientales y Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible (ODS) a revelar por parte de empresas del sector químico
Authors: Herrera Restrepo Juan Manuel , Ortíz Pérez Alvarodiego , Pacheco Gutiérrez Jonatan , Correa García Jaime Andrés
Published: December 2021

El objetivo del presente artículo consiste en establecer cuáles son los indicadores medioambientales que podrían revelar las empresas del sector químico del Área Metropolitana del Valle de Aburrá. Esto, de modo que las compañías puedan tener insumos alternativos que permitan la creación de informes de sostenibilidad más precisos que satisfagan las necesidades de todos sus stakeholders, llegando así a obtener legitimidad organizacional. Es por eso que se ha hecho un estudio para establecer dichos indicadores, de acuerdo con el Global Reporting Initiative Standards 2016, por medio de técnicas tales como encuestas, entrevistas y la realización de un benchmarking de revelación de indicadores medioambientales con empresas latinoamericanas, identificando su nivel de reporte respecto a cada indicador. También, por medio de este último, se desarrolla un estudio respecto al nivel de adopción de las empresas ante los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible (ODS). En consecuencia, los resultados arrojan que los indicadores que podrían revelar las empresas son emisiones, energía, agua y afluentes y efluentes y residuos; y los ODS a priorizar son igualdad de género, empleo digno, crecimiento económico y acción por el clima. Finalmente, se presentan las conclusiones obtenidas a lo largo de la investigación.
Reflexiones sobre los retos y oportunidades del acuerdo de paz (AP) colombiano. Una mirada inicial desde la perspectiva de género sobre lo pactado y lo implementado
Authors: Correa Gómez Olga Lucía , Serrano Ávila Ana María
Published: December 2021

Este artículo propone hacer una reflexión entre lo pactado y lo implementado del acuerdo de paz (AP) firmado en noviembre de 2016; específicamente lo que respecta a las 130 medidas que transversalizan el enfoque de género en los seis puntos de los acuerdos. Para ello, se hizo una revisión bibliográfica de varios documentos publicados por organismos institucionales que plasman información de lo pactado e implementado. Por ejemplo, el CONPES 3932, el Plan Marco de Implementación (PMI),
el documento final del AP, los informes del Instituto Kroc sobre los balances de la implementación, el informe del grupo Género y Paz (GPAZ),
y las conclusiones del Encuentro Nacional de Mujeres en Proceso de Reincorporación, Farianas y Diversidad ocurrido en el 2019. Una reflexión importante de esta primera aproximación es la evidente falta de voluntad del partido del gobierno actual en la implementación del AP, desconociendo que la paz es un derecho constitucional y que lo pactado no es un asunto solo del gobierno, sino que debe ser una política de Estado.

La relación entre el aumento de la temperatura atmosférica, el derretimiento de los glaciares y el incremento del nivel del mar es muy íntima. La sociedad vive en un mundo interdependiente que se ve afectado por los fenómenos suscitados en otras latitudes, por ejemplo, en Colombia, con el derretimiento de los páramos. Habrá que revisar la legislación internacional para adecuarla a esta nueva realidad, puesto que, las fronteras y las líneas de base tomadas para el cálculo en la delimitación de las fronteras marítimas entre los estados contiguos o los enfrentados, pueden tener una medida diferente, creando un problema mayúsculo.

La herencia inmaterial del narcotráfico. A propósito de Era más grande el muerto de Luis Miguel Rivas
Authors: Osorio Cossio Hermes
Published: December 2021

En este artículo se efectúa un recorrido por las marcas que ha dejado el narcotráfico en la sociedad a partir del análisis y comentario de Era más grande el muerto (2017) de Luis Miguel Rivas. El escenario de la narración está ubicado en Villalinda, una recreación de la Medellín de los años ochenta y noventa del siglo pasado. La novela refleja con crudeza y humor los ideales, principios y aspiraciones que marcaron el derrotero de la sociedad en las últimas décadas, no solo en Antioquia o Colombia, sino en muchos países de la región. La frontera entre lo legal y lo ilegal, entre lo correcto y lo que no, cada vez aparece más difusa, los narcos pasan de las listas de la Interpol a las series de Netflix sin apenas diferencia en la valoración social. Esta obra permite por lo menos interrogar y cuestionar el brillo que series televisivas y demás quieren endosarle a estos personajes

Obesity in Relationship with Different Forms of Myocardial Infarction (Data of Registry on Acute Myocardial Infarction)
Authors:   Republican Specialized Scientific and Practical Medical Center of Cardiology, Ministry of Health of the Republic of Uzbekistan, Tashkent, Uzbekistan, Anvarovna Nagaeva Gulnora
Published: December 2021

In today’s world, the growth of technical progress has increased the number of people with obesity, which is one of the main risk factors for the development of acute myocardial infarction (MI). Objective: To evaluate the effect of obesity on some clinical and anthropometric characteristics in patients with acute MI. Material and Methods: A special questionnaire – a “registry card” was developed for monitoring patients with acute MI and collecting the necessary and complete information from employees of the Cardiovascular Diseases (CVD) Prevention Department. The presented article describes the data of a preliminary analysis of patients with acute MI treated in the clinic. Of the 202 people, 191 (94.6%) had a body mass index (BMI) calculated. Depending on the level of BMI, three groups were selected: 1 g (BMI < 25 kg/m2) – 36 (18.8% of 191) patients with acute MI with normal weight (control group); 2 g (BMI = 25–30 kg/m2) – 84 (44.0% of 191) overweight people; 3 g (BMI > 30 kg/m2) – 71 (37.2% of 191) people with obesity. Differences were considered significant at p < 0.05. Results: Despite the fact that acute MI developed in women 2.6 times less frequently and 8.7 years later in age than in men, nevertheless, obesity in women was recorded more often, while in men overweight prevailed. In acute MI between the age of the respondents and the presence of increased weight, an inverse relationship was revealed (p > 0.05), i.e., as the weight category increased, the age of the patients decreased. In patients with MI, as the weight increased, there was an increase in comorbid pathology, especially associated with impaired carbohydrate metabolism (p < 0.0001). A more severe form of MI (STEMI) was more often recorded in persons with a BMI > 25 kg/m2, while the front wall was the most vulnerable to the development of acute MI, regardless of the weight category of patients. The back wall was involved in the pathological process both in individuals with overweight and in patients with obesity. The apical segment in the largest number of cases was only affected in people with obesity. Conclusion: Obesity is a kind of epidemic of modern society. Its effects on the quality of life, prognosis, and effectiveness of conservative or minimally invasive treatment methods in patients with acute cardiovascular catastrophes, such as acute MI, are still a very controversial issue that requires furthermore in-depth study and analysis.
HRV Analysis: Unpredictability of Approximate Entropy in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
Authors:   Cardiorespiratory Research Group, Department of Biological and Medical Sciences, Faculty of Health and Life Sciences, Oxford Brookes University, Headington Campus, Gipsy Lane, United Kingdom, Garner David M
Published: December 2021

Introduction: Approximate entropy (ApEn) is a widely imposed metric to evaluate a chaotic response and irregularities of RR-intervals from an electrocardiogram. Yet, the technique is problematic due to the accurate choice of the tolerance (r) and embedding dimension (M). We prescribed the metric to evaluate these responses in subjects exhibiting symptoms of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and we strived to overcome this disadvantage by applying different groupings to detect the optimal. Methods: We examined 38 subjects split equally: COPD and control. To evaluate autonomic modulation the heart rate was measured beat-by-beat for 30 min in a supine position without any physical, sensory, or pharmacological stimuli. In the time-series obtained the ApEn was then applied with set values for tolerance, r and embedding dimension, M. Then, the differences between the two groups and their effect size by two measures (Cohen’s ds and Hedges’s gs) were computed. Results: The highest value of statistical significance accomplished for any effect size statistical combinations undertaken was -1.13 for Cohen’s ds, and -1.10 for Hedges’s gs with embedding dimension, M = 2 and tolerance, r = 0.1. Conclusion: ApEn was capable of optimally identifying the decrease in chaotic response in COPD. The optimal combination of r and M for this were 0.1 and 2, respectively. Despite this, ApEn is a relatively unpredictable mathematical marker and the use of other techniques to evaluate a healthy or pathological condition is encouraged.

Published: December 2021

Critical reading skills constitute an important part of an independent critical reader and are often formed in advanced-level students. It is argued that low-level learners of English also need to get acquainted with the basics of critical reading in the first years of their tertiary education. The aim of this study is to define a range of critical reading elements the low intermediate EFL students can demonstrate within a three-month period of critical reading instruction. The experiment on establishing the students’ attitude to critical reading and defining their critical reading abilities while commenting on texts was conducted. The findings of the questionnaire showed the participants’ attitude to critical reading as the way to question and disagree with the author’s opinion rather than to analyze information. The participants considered themselves quite competent in critical reading but did not see the practical use of applying these skills. A three-month critical reading intervention was introduced and followed by writing final commentaries upon the given text. The survey after the intervention found that the students of the experimental group showed the ability to justify their judgments by supporting claims while commenting upon the given texts. They could also express disagreement with the opinion in the text more often than before the intervention. In the control group, the prevailing agreements with the author’s viewpoint in the commentaries rarely followed by justifications showed the students’ unwillingness to create new ideas and proved their passive roles in dealing with information. Thus, according to the experiment results, the range of critical reading strategies the low intermediate class demonstrated included expressing judgments and supporting claims, finding different points of view on the problem in the text, and expressing disagreement with the given opinion. The amount of irrelevant information the participants mentioned in their commentaries proved the necessity for further interventions in order to engender their critical literacy.

Published: December 2021

As the most important food crop across the world, with continuous increase in world population and steady declining farmlands, wheat has been attracting academic attention for improving its yield or potential in the future particularly under global warming. Therefore, analyzing the yield or potential of wheat at global level relevant to greenhouse gas effect is of great significance to direct future production of wheat in the world. However up to now, there are relatively few reports on potential yield of world wheat projected using ‘time series’ approach like ARIMA (Auto-regressive Integrated Moving Average) model. Thus in this paper, the crop potential yield of world wheat during 2019 to 2028 is projected using ARIMA model based on the yields from 1961 to 2018. Our results show that during 2019 to 2028, the average yields of world wheat are projected to increase from 3569 to 4257 kg ha-1 while top yields of world wheat from 9852 to 11246 kg ha-1. Annual global mean temperatures are projected to increase from 15.05 to 15.31°C. Global warming exerts positive effect on average yield of world wheat while negative effect on the top yield in 1961 to 2018 and 2028. Our study concluded that for world wheat production in 2019 to 2028, the opportunities for improving production should be mainly dependent on the advantage of highyield countries as the yield is still in low place before the turn-point of S-shaped curve in long-term trend affected partly by greenhouse gas effect.

Published: December 2021

Weather components have significant impact on the phenology of fruit plants. In order to study the effect of heat, photothermal and heliothermal units on phenology of grapes, an experiment was conducted during 2016 and 2017 on eleven grape varieties. The weather based indices were used for characterizing the thermal response to various phenophases of different grape varieties. Based on the thermal response the eleven varieties were classified into early, mid and late maturing categories. The fruit ripening was differed by 7-9 days for early, 4-8 days for mid and 1-3 days for late ripening groups. For early, mid and late maturing varieties the accumulated range of growing degree days was 1303-1530, 1617-1712 and 1912-1959 °C day, photothermal unit was 15971-19032, 20201-21484 and 24255-24923°C day. Likewise, minimum heliothermal unit was required by early ripening varieties i.e., Himrod(9973 °C days) and Madeliene Anguvine (11235 °C days) but, maximum for long duration varieties like Black Muscat (15000 days) and Angur Early (14579 °C days). Maximum and minimum heat use efficiency was recorded by variety Perlette (1.57) and Black Muscat (0.96), respectively.
Specifics of the Special Surveillance Means in Bulgarian Criminal Procedure
Authors: Marinova Gergana
Published: December 2021

The article discusses the special surveillance means as established in the Bulgarian Code of Criminal Procedure (CCP). Their specifics are analysed and compared with the classical, traditional means of investigation under the CCP. In many aspects the differences are considered significant. Besides, the use of special surveillance means comes at a significant ‘price’. All this justifies the conclusion that their procedural use should be ultima ratio.

Involving a Defendant by Drawing Up the Record of the First Action of Investigation Against Him/Her
Authors:   St. Kliment Ohridski University of Sofia, Bulgaria, Mitov Georgi
Published: December 2021

The power to involve a defendant by drawing up the record of the first action of investigation against him/her, provided by Article 219, Paragraph 2 of the Bulgarian Code of Criminal Procedure, is vaguely regulated by law and contradicts basic principles and institutes of the criminal procedure. It creates theoretical and practical problems that call into question its usefulness for procedural economy during the investigation. Therefore, it should be revoked de lege ferenda.
Constitutional Jurisdictions Between the Supremacy of the Constitution and the Primacy of European Union Law
Authors:   St. Cyril and St. Methodius University of Veliko Tarnovo, Bulgaria, Mingova Viktoriya
Published: December 2021

The interaction between the national constitutional jurisdictions of the Member States and the Court of Justice of the European Union raises questions that often cannot be answered unequivocally. The focus of this debate is, of course, on the fundamental question of whether European Union law takes primacy over national constitutions. This study presents the jurisprudence of the Court of Justice on the establishment of the principle of autonomy of EU law in relation to the internal law of the Member States in its development, since it is precisely the positions it adopts that allow the Court of Justice to derive the principle of primacy over ‘any provision of internal law’ as a logical and natural consequence of the unique nature of EU law. On the other hand, since this integration activity of the Court of Justice is not the result of a conscious activity of the Member States, legitimated by their constitutions, the inevitable question arises of whether the results of the activity in question do not clash with the main task of the constitutional courts ‒ to ensure a coherent and uniform application of the law within the national legal order and above all in accordance with the constitution. The case law of the constitutional courts of the Member States presented in this study leads to the conclusion that they regard autonomy as a relative characteristic, which is why they reject the principle of absolute primacy of European Union law over constitutional rules. It seems that no constitutional court could abdicate its role as a court of ‘last word’ in this respect.

Kadar sel darah putih saat masuk rumah sakit adalah 53.550/uL dan saat dipulangkan 29.000/uL . Pada saat awal di rawat, kadar albumin pasien adalah 2,9 g/dL. Kemudian turun menjadi 2.5 g/dL. Pada saat albumin turun menjadi 2.5 g/dL, pasien di anjurkan untuk mengkonsumsi makanan yang tinggi protein, memberikan formula tinggi protein dan pemberian ekstra putih telur dan setelahnya kadar albumin pasien naik menjadi 3.2 g/dL sebelum dipulangkan untuk rawat jalan.

Kesimpulan

Malnutrisi pada penderita kanker secara negatif berpengaruh terhadap respon terapi, komplikasi, kualitas hidup dan survival penderita. Intervensi nutrisi yang optimal, monitoring serta edukasi gizi menunjukkan perbaikan status gizi serta perbaikan status metabolik.
A CONSTITUIÇÃO E A VALORAÇÃO DA PROVA JUDICIAL ENTRE A INDIFERENÇA E UM MANDAMENTO DE REDUÇÃO DO RISCO DE ERRO
Authors: Damasceno Fernando Braga
Published: December 2021

Este artigo se inicia fazendo uma projeção no âmbito da valoração da prova judicial, das normas constitucionais que conformam o devidoprocesso legal, com o propósito de estabelecer primeiro se há lugar para um sistema de valoração marcadamente subjetivista ou persuasivo,segundo o qual a finalidade da prova seria a formação do convencimento do julgador e o “provado” equivaleria ao “o-juiz-se-convenceu-de”.Superada essa possibilidade, defende-se que, mais que exigir uma valoração racional da prova, a Constituição traz um mandamento deotimização do sistema de justiça, impondo aos poderes constituídos uma atuação voltada à prevenção de erros. Conclui-se apresentandodois caminhos que conformariam um accountability direcionado à prevenção de erros.
A FORMAÇÃO EM QUESTÕES DE GÊNERO NO PODER JUDICIÁRIO: UM RELATO DE EXPERIÊNCIA
Authors: Mello Adriana Ramos De
Published: December 2021

O artigo proposto tem como objetivo demonstrar a relevância de se capacitar e complementar a formação de magistrados por meio de estudos específicos de questões de gênero. Debate relevante e de conteúdo necessário que, na realidade, deveria ser abordado desde a formação inicial, na graduação em direito, tendo em vista que o Brasil é repleto de desigualdades sociais, políticas, econômicas, de gênero e raça. Utiliza-se como foco da discussão nossa experiência pessoal ao lecionar a disciplina Questões de Gênero para os juízes que iniciam a carreira na Escola Nacional de Formação e Aperfeiçoamento de Magistrados – Enfam. Trata-se de tema complexo a ser tratado no âmbito da Justiça, que traz em sua essência estruturas enraizadas do patriarcado, do racismo e do sexismo, mas que precisam ser debatidas e ressignificadas.

Salah satu upaya yang dilakukan pendidik dalam peningkatan kualitas pembelajaran yaitu dalam penyusunan berbagai macam skenario kegiatan pembelajaran maupun metode pembelajaran di kelas. Penerapan metode pembelajaran tipe STAD dilakukan untuk mengetahui tingkat kognitif peserta didik dalam memahami konsep suatu mata ajar. Penelitian ini dilakukan pada mahasiswa kebidanan tingkat satu tahun ajaran 2018/2019 sebanyak 40 mahasiswa. Menggunakan one grup pre post tes design dengan uji statistik Wilcoxon untuk mengetahui perubahan tingkat kognitif mahasiswa setelah dilakukan aplikasi metode pembelajaran STAD.

Dari implementasi metode tersebut di peroleh hasil bahwa hasil pre dan post test yang berikan kepada peserta didik di dapatkan peningkatan nilai sebanyak 36 mahasiswa, mengalami penurunan 1 mahasiswa dan tetap 3 mahasiswa. Dengan menggunakan uji statistik didapatkan hasil yaitu terdapat perbedaan yang bermakna antara nilai pre dengan post test setelah dilakukan metode pembelajaran STAD.

Dari penerapan model pembelajaran kooperatif tipe STAD dapat meningkatkan pengetahuan peserta didik terhadap materi yang disampaikan oleh pendidik sehingga terjadi interaksi di antara peserta didik untuk saling memotivasi dan saling membantu dalam menguasai materi pelajaran guna mencapai prestasi maksimal.

Whole-genome sequencing differentiates relapse from re-infection in TB

BACKGROUND: Distinguishing TB relapse from re-infection is important from a clinical perspective to document transmission patterns. We investigated isolates from patients classified as relapse to understand if these were true relapses or re-infections. We also investigated shifts
in drug susceptibility patterns to distinguish acquired drug resistance from re-infection with resistant strains.METHODS: Isolates from pulmonary TB patients from 2009 to 2017 were analysed using whole-genome sequencing (WGS).RESULTS: Of 11 patients reported as relapses,
WGS results indicated that 4 were true relapses (single nucleotide polymorphism difference ≤5), 3 were re-infections with new strains, 3 were both relapse and re-infection and 1 was a suspected relapse who was later categorised as treatment failure based on sequencing. Of the 9 patients
who went from a fully susceptible to a resistant profile, WGS showed that none had acquired drug resistance; 6 were re-infected with new resistant strains, 1 was probably infected by at least two different genotype strains and 2 were phenotypically misclassified.CONCLUSIONS: WGS
was shown to distinguish between relapse and re-infection in an unbiased way. The use of WGS minimises the risk of false classification of treatment failure instead of re-infection. Furthermore, our study showed that strains without major genetic differences can cause re-infection.
Concept MSBS GROT Rifle Upper Receiver Shield to Protect Against Foreign Objects
Authors: KOERSKI Wojciech
Published: December 2021

This paper presents a concept for shielding the MSBS (Modular Firearms System) Grot rifle upper receiver against foreign objects. The concept guidelines involve feedback from Grot operators concerning the regular operation of the rifle plus an extensive analysis of desktop patent research into foreign debris shields (or dust shields) for protection of the upper receiver interior in firearms. The completed patent desktop research included solutions used with automatic, semi-automatic and non-automatic firearms. The research work drove the formulation of the requirements for an upper receiver dust shield for the 5.56 mm calibre MSBS Grot rifle as part of the ongoing improvement process. This paper presents three concepts of the carrier charging handle assembly dust shield (for the protection of the upper receiver against foreign objects) for the MSBS-5.56 rifle system. The concepts described vary in terms of the level of structural complexity of the dust shield, and the extent of the modifications required to the upper receiver of the rifle.
With test units of the upper receiver dust shield manufactured and comparative tests completed on the three concepts, the version selected should be the one which improves the protection of the rifle internals from foreign objects found in the local environment, including sand, clay, silt, and mud, the latter being an aqueous suspension of these particles.

O presente caso para ensino tem como objetivo favorecer a aplicação da obra de Pai Rico, Pai Pobre à realidade brasileira e propiciar uma reflexão acerca da importância da educação financeira no Brasil, do planejamento financeiro e dos investimentos para as Pessoas Físicas, com foco nos jovens que estão iniciando a vida profissional. Portanto a abordagem favorece o processo de planejamento para a aposentadoria por meio de uma gestão própria de investimentos, diante da abordagem sobre finanças pessoais, de um debate sobre finanças pessoais através da metodologia do Livro Pai Rico, Pai Pobre, modelo mundialmente conhecido e de grande relevância. Para o desenvolvimento do caso, considerou-se que o estudante brasileiro possui 25 anos e não tem conhecimento em educação financeira, não tendo se organizado financeiramente, tampouco realizado controle de gastos ou ter acesso a administração de investimentos. Com tal proposta espera-se que os leitores se coloquem no papel de João e realizem uma análise acerca das situações apresentadas, procedendo uma interação com o instrumento de apoio a decisão exposto pela planilha, a fim de atingir sua meta de aposentadoria. Ao favorecer o espaço de debate sobre a importância a respeito das finanças pessoais com vistas a um planejamento de longo prazo espera-se desenvolver a competência dos alunos quanto a educação financeira no Brasil. A utilização da metodologia do Pai Rico, Pai Pobre para os jovens brasileiros é mostrar a necessidade de iniciar o quanto antes a construção da própria riqueza e dessa forma garantir um futuro estável num país onde a seguridade social demonstra grande desequilíbrio financeiro. O caso foi elaborado para adoção em qualquer curso ou treinamento na área gerencial considerando a competência: compreender o contexto em que se insere como pessoa e cidadão, suas responsabilidades sociais e éticas na construção do futuro da sociedade.
