The demand for monofloral, original, and special (functional) kinds of honey, or those with geographical indication, is forecast. At the same time, there is a need to improve the methods for determining the botanical and geographical origin of honey. The purpose of the research was to select and apply a variety of techniques for identifying the botanical origin of honey for its correspondence to acacia species. Samples of honey from the Kyiv, Odesa, and Dnipro regions extracted in the spring and summer period were used in the research. Organoleptic, physicochemical, NMR spectrometry, and advanced melissopalynology methods were applied. The tests were carried out at the laboratories of the Department of Certification and Standardization of Agricultural Products, NULES, Ukraine; the Ukrainian Laboratory of Quality and Safety of Agricultural Products; and the Bruker BioSpin GmbH company (Germany). According to the research results, the requirements for acacia honey were met by the organoleptic method for samples B1 and B2; by the physicochemical method for A0 and A2; by NMR spectroscopy for not a single sample, all being assessed as polyfloral; and by pollen analysis for B1 and B2. The conducted studies confirm the need for a comprehensive approach to the identification of the botanical origin of honey for its conformity to acacia species. There is a need to review the physicochemical indicators for the compliance of honey with the acacia species obtained in Ukraine. After all, even the modern NMR spectrometry technique indicated that the specially fabricated sample that did not contain acacia pollen grains was acacia honey. Identification of the botanical origin of monofloral honey, in particular acacia, should be carried out in the following sequence: pollen analysis (by dominant pollen grains), safety (presence of antibiotics, pesticides), physicochemical parameters according to international requirements, organoleptic parameters.

Published: July 2020

Tropical rainforests are among the most endangered biomes on the planet. They have become the new frontiers for capital expansion, both for the production of agricultural commodities and the exploitation of their natural resources. This article seeks to analyze how the command and control system is being practiced on one of such tropical rainforests, namely the Brazilian Amazon. To achieve the objectives set in the research, exploratory/descriptive methods of qualitative and quantitative approach were carried out through field research and literature review on the subject. In addition, we evaluated the publications that best described the “state of the art” of the theme, always aiming at the quality and comprehensiveness of research by bibliometric mining and field survey through questionnaires administered to military police corporations. While examining the environmental protection agencies and law enforcement agencies, both from Union and the states that make up the Legal Amazon, the conclusion was that all of them devote very little material resources to effective forest protection, and that human resources are infinitely smaller than those recommended by other international nature protection organizations. Moreover, the structure in charge of investigating environmental crimes in the states is either poor or non-existent, and distant from the main regions of deforestation and other environmental crimes, something which favors impunity. It is concluded that the lack of structure of command and control bodies in the Amazon threatens the sustainability of the ecosystem, the economy and the society on local, regional, and global levels.
Desafios para a História nas encruzilhadas da memória: entre traumas e tabus
Authors: Napolitano Marcos
Published: July 2020

Este artigo analisa os processos de memorização, e suas conexões com o conhecimento histórico, de períodos marcados por violências extremas (genocídios, violações sistemáticas e massivas de Direitos Humanos, ditaduras e guerras civis). Para tal, focamos a análise em duas categorias “trauma” e “tabu”. A primeira, muito utilizada pela literatura acadêmica, é cotejada com os desafios colocados pelo campo historiográfico. Em relação ao “tabu”, pensado aqui como lastro para uma “memória neurótica” do passado, incorporada sobretudo pelos perpetradores das violências e seus herdeiros, é utilizada para analisar as mutações na memória hegemônica da ditadura militar brasileira, tal como construída pelos grupos sociais e políticos que se identificam com o campo da “resistência” ao regime.

Authors: Cidón Camila , Schreiber Dusan , Figueiró Paola Schmitt
Published: July 2020

A inovação é um dos requisitos fundamentais para empresas que buscam crescimento, desenvolvimento econômico e aumento de competitividade. O atual modelo de negócios causou tanto desequilíbrio no planeta que é impossível continuar a atividade econômica como ela é. Este artigo tem como objetivo analisar até que ponto a inovação sustentável está presente em uma indústria química baseada nos elementos de inovação sustentável de Hansen, Grosse-Dunker e Reichwald (2009). Para isso, foi realizado um estudo de caso com dados primários e secundários. Os principais resultados mostram que a empresa está desenvolvendo ações para implementar fatores sustentáveis, porém não segue um modelo de inovação sustentável e também faltam ações mais poderosas, capazes de promover mudanças comportamentais entre os consumidores e as partes interessadas. Como contribuição acadêmica da pesquisa, é mencionada a apresentação da relação entre os elementos teóricos que caracterizam o cubo da inovação sustentável com evidências empíricas em uma indústria química. Por fim, são apresentadas oportunidades que abordam a inclusão de práticas sustentáveis nas indústrias químicas.

Published: July 2020

Mineral fertilization is an important practice that contributes to the production of seedlings with satisfactory quality. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of the application of potassium chloride (KCl) and monoammonium phosphate (MAP) on growth and nutrition of Eucalyptus urophylla x Eucalyptus grandis seedlings. The experiment was conducted in full sun, with direct sowing in tubes containing composite substrate (Pinus bark, coconut fiber, bovine manure and vermiculite). The experimental design was a randomized block design in a 5 x 2 factorial scheme, with five doses of KCl (0.0, 0.025, 0.050, 0.100, and 0.200 g seedling-1) and two doses of MAP (0 and 0.10g seedling-1), with four replicates. At 120 days, the effect of the interaction between the KCl and MAP doses was verified for the variables: diameter at root collar, dry mass of the aerial part (DMAP) and total (TDM), Dickson Quality Index, N content, P K in the aerial part, K content in the roots, absorption efficiency (AE) of N and P. For the variables: height (H); leaf area; root dry mass (RDM); H/DRC and DMPA/RDM ratios; and N and P content in the roots, only effect of the application of MAP is observed, whereas for AE_K the effect was only of KCl. Thus, there is variation in the effect of KCl doses as a function of morphological and nutritional variables evaluated. In general, the best seedling growth and nutrition occurs with the applied dose of 0.100 g KCl + 0.10 g MAP seedling -1.

Published: July 2020

The objective of this work was to evaluate the phenology of the babassu (Attalea speciosa Mart ex Spreng.), aiming to subsidize information for non - timber management of the species in pasture area. For 48 months, the phenological patterns of babassu were studied, relating them to meteorological variables such as monthly average temperature, monthly total precipitation, relative humidity of the medium air and photoperiod. A total of 130 adult palm trees from natural regeneration were monitored in a pasture in the municipality of Ji-Paraná, RO, from January 2012 to December 2015. The data were analyzed by means of the activity indexes, the relation of the phenophases and meteorological variables by means of Pearson correlation. The population synchrony index was also evaluated. During the study, the population of Attalea speciosa showed flowering asynchronously in the population. In the process of formation and maturation of the fruits of the babassu, it was possible to observe that the time of total development of the fruits was in average 254 days. In young infructescence, the most influential climatic factors were temperature and photoperiod. In the green infructescence, climatic factors such as precipitation, relative humidity and photoperiod influenced negatively. The presence of mature infructescence occurred throughout the year, with the highest intensities in the month of November, and its activity related to the increase in temperature and duration of days. Phenological monitoring of babassu allowed to identify the intensity and predictability of reproductive events, thus enabling information to be provided to the plans for the sustainable exploitation of the species in pasture in the municipality of Ji-Paraná.

Published: July 2020

This study analyzes microbiota population dynamics as a function of nutrient release rate during litter decomposition. For that, we observed two tree species native to the Atlantic Forest: brazilwood (Paubrasilia echinata) and inga (Inga laurina). To assess nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K) release rates from the litter, we performed six collections over 365 days. In these collections, we placed polyvinyl bags called ‘litter bags’ below the treetops of the chosen species to collect dry leaves. To identify the groups of litter microorganisms (fungi, bacteria, and actinomycetes), we used the plate culture method to count the number of colony-forming units (CFU), and the fatty acid profile method, through biomarkers, associating nutrient release rate and abiotic factors (temperature and rainfall). Nutrient release rate correlates with litter decomposition at 140 days, and most microorganisms correlate with litter decomposition at 30 days. Nitrogen and phosphorus release rates correlate with rainfall. Fungi correlate with P release rate in inga litter decomposition. The bacteria biomarker 17:1 was the only one that correlated with N and P release rates. In conclusion, rainfall affects nutrient solubilization in the studied species, and microbiota differs between the species. When comparing the two methods to identify these microorganisms, information from one method complements information from the other, since both provide different but interdependent data.

Published: July 2020

The objective of this work was to evaluate the quality of particleboard produced with 100% of wood of Cupressus torulosa and in different mixing proportions with Pinus taeda. The experimental panels were produced with wood particles of Cupressus torulosa/Pinus taeda, in proportions of 100/0%, 80/20%, 60/40%, 40/60%, 20/80% and 0/100%, totaling six treatments. The panels were produced with nominal density of 0.75g/cm³, 8% urea-formaldehyde resin and 1% paraffin emulsion. The quality of the panels was evaluated by water absorption and swelling thickness 2 and 24 hours, static bending (MOE and MOR), perpendicular tension (internal bonding) and screw withdrawal. The comparative evaluations of the results of this research, with the Pinus taeda, others species referenced in the literature, and normative requirements of EN 312-2003 for commercial panels, indicated great potential of the wood of Cupressus torulosa for the particleboard production.
COMPATIBILITY BETWEEN THE STEM VOLUME AND TAPER EQUATIONS VOLUME FOR BLACK WATTLE TREES
Authors: Behling Marcos , Koehler Henrique Soares , Behling Alexandre
Published: July 2020

A system of equations widely used in Forest Engineering by the international community of researchers consists of a combination of a volumetric function and a taper function, with the purpose of making volume estimates compatible. When using the volume function and the taper function in a system, the result of the volume estimated by the two functions should be compatible, meaning that the volume estimated by the volumetric function should not differ from the volume obtained by integrating the taper function. Thus, the purpose of this paper was to develop and present the procedures of a system of equations to make volume estimates from both volume and taper equations compatible, and then compare it to the traditional approach, which is used in forestry companies. The procedures proposed were applied to a data set on the Acacia mearnsii De Wild. (black wattle) at sites where the plantation of this species is concentrated in the state of Rio Grande do Sul. The data set included 343 trees ranging from 5 to 10.75 years of age. It was noted that the lack of volume compatibility, in absolute terms, grows exponentially with the size of the tree. The quality of the estimates using the system of compatible equations did not differ from those obtained from the traditional model, therefore, the former is preferable. Furthermore, it was noted that the residuals from the volume and taper equations are correlated, which suggests that the system of equations be fitted simultaneously.
“Trains of Misery”: Repatriate Voices and Responses in Northern Mexico during the Great Depression
Authors: Gutiérrez Laura D.
Published: July 2020

During the Great Depression, hundreds of thousands of Mexican migrants and Mexican Americans left the United States for Mexico. Some hoped they could escape the economic crisis in the United States, while others were forced to leave their homes. For many who traveled via train as part of repatriation campaigns, they had no home or community in Mexico to return to or found themselves stranded in towns and cities along railway routes. In these regions in northern Mexico, resentment against returning migrants intensified as repatriates were increasingly viewed as economic and social disturbances.

This article uses letters sent to Mexican presidents from repatriates and from local residents in northern Mexico, newspapers, and oral histories to argue for a deeper analysis of the various stages of forced removal. To better understand the devastating consequences of repatriation as forced removal, we must also look at the methods of transportation used to move migrants and how they shape the emotional, economic, and political ramifications of expulsion.
“The Freedom of Jail”: Women, Detention, and the Expansion of Immigration Governance along the US–Mexico Border, 1903–1917
Authors: Menchaca Celeste R.
Published: July 2020

This article traces the contours of immigrant detention along the US-Mexico border between 1903 and 1917. Underfunded and undersized, privately owned but federally managed immigration stations and detention facilities forced government agencies to consider where to hold an increasing number of detained immigrant women. While debate arose over which detention location allowed the most “freedom,” some women suffered verbal, physical, and sexual abuse during their incarceration. This article draws upon US Bureau of Immigration annual and investigative reports, testimony, leasing agreements, and correspondence to argue that gender was a driving force in the construction of detention rooms and facilities along the border after 1903.
A polêmica do tempo de constituição da estrutura psicótica
Authors: Silva Luiza Drehmer de Mello e , Lustoza Rosane Zétola
Published: July 2020

O artigo pretende sistematizar a divergência teórica relativa ao momento de constituição da estrutura psicótica. Há autores que afirmam que essa estrutura se decide na adolescência, pois consideram que a estruturação está atrelada ao desenvolvimento do organismo. Outros defendem que a psicogenética não é o objeto de estudo da psicanálise, portanto a estrutura não se modificaria de acordo com a idade cronológica. Os primeiros propõem que a direção do tratamento vise à inscrição do Nome-do-pai, e os segundos, que possibilite a construção de uma suplência. Além disso, essa divergência teórica implica diferentes posições com relação à lei 13.438, que obriga pediatras, em todo o Brasil, a aplicar um protocolo de identificação de risco psíquico. Conclui-se que cada tese implica intervenções nos âmbitos clínico e político, de maneira que a forma com que a teoria é articulada seja necessariamente associada a uma posição ética.

“As professoras falam que eu sou lenta”: o autoconceito na interface educação e saúde
Authors: Garbarino Mariana Inés
Published: July 2020

Durante a infância a escola constitui o principal espaço social onde as habilidades e limitações individuais ficam publicamente expostas. O estigma do “déficit escolar” leva a sentimentos de fracasso, incapacidade, e a um autoconceito empobrecido. Considerando a importância dos colegas e dos educadores nesse processo de co-construção, o estudo visou indagar o papel dessas relações interpessoais em crianças com queixa escolar no contexto de um atendimento clínico. Foram analisados, qualitativamente, registros de rodas de conversa e questionários de anamnese. Os resultados evidenciaram que para as crianças resultam significativas as provocações e zoações dos pares referentes a características físicas ou da personalidade. O olhar dos educadores expressou-se em atributos e elogios sobre o desempenho acadêmico. Ambos os olhares apresentaram tonalizações de gênero. Verificou-se, ademais, a fecundidade das rodas de conversa como um dispositivo metodológico e de intervenção favorável à tomada de consciência do autoconceito e dos sentimentos atrelados à autopercepção.

Authors: RahmtAllah Enas Abdelwahab Eltom
Published: July 2020

Writing is considered an essential learning tool for all content areas. However, to master and have excellent writing skills for EFL students of undergraduate programs is challenging. Cohesion and coherence are both crucial textual elements to master writing. The present study examined coherence in English essays written by 46 female Saudi EFL third year at Unaizah College of Sciences and Arts, Qassim University. Examination of essays by the subject group designed to answer the research question. 1.) To what extent are EFL students competent in achieving coherence in writing skills? Each student was asked to write two essays (a writing test that included two essay questions). The data were analyzed through SPSS. The study results demonstrated that learners are not competent in achieving coherence in their writing tasks. In light of these results, recommendations are presented. The results also recommend further studies to investigate coherence and action research to improve this crucial skill among undergraduate Saudi EFL learners.
A Contrastive Study of Heteroglossia in the Reasoning of Criminal Judgments of Chinese Mainland and Hong Kong
Authors: Song Wenxiu
Published: July 2020

Within the framework of the Engagement System of Appraisal Theory, this thesis investigates the heteroglossia of the reasoning of criminal judgments of Chinese mainland and Hong Kong and examines their similarities and differences in the employment of heteroglossic engagement resources and underlying causes. The reasoning of 20 criminal judgments of Chinese mainland and Hong Kong produced upon second instance for the same cause of action are collected and built as two separate corpora to carry out the study. It is found that judges of both Chinese mainland and Hong Kong employ various heteroglossic engagement resources to locate position and negotiate with other voices while proceeding with reasoning. Furthermore, they share some similarities in the selection of subtypes of engagement resources, which is attributed to the fact that they hold similar communicative purposes in the reasoning of judicial judgments; while the differences can be interpreted from the distinct legal doctrines in the mainland and Hong Kong and the textual structure of the reasoning of criminal judgments.

Business model in non-financial information reporting.
Research results of selected Polish listed companies
Authors: Kawacki Marek
Published: July 2020

The purpose of the article is to determine the scope and form of information currently disclosed by enti-ties under the concept of a "business model" based on the disclosure of non-financial information in the annual reports of fourteen WIG20 index companies. The study involved analysing disclosures about the business model, analysing the content of annual reports of companies, and checking the scope and con-tent of the disclosed information in the section of the report regarding the business model. In total, 28 annual reports for 2017 and 2018 were analysed. The survey included 22 types of non-financial infor-mation systematically disclosed under the definition of “business model”. The study used descriptive analysis, comparative analysis, and deduction methods. As a result of the research, it was found that information on the business model disclosed in annual reports can be comparable between entities and can be and often already are comparable over time – when the same entity reports the information over two different years. In addition, it was found that in the set of reported information about the business model, there was clearly a common part in all the surveyed companies, which was information on the value creation chain. The article is the result of an original empirical study and closes the gap in scientific research on the mandatory disclosure of information about the business model in annual reports. The survey is one of the first attempts to analyse non-financial information compulsorily disclosed by Polish companies after 2018.
Perception of the competences of management accounting specialists in the context of changes in the business environment of enterprises
Authors: Kawczyńska Marta
Published: July 2020

The purpose of the paper is to determine the scope of personal qualities and professional skills of man-agement accounting specialists in enterprises in Poland. By comparing the results obtained with the results of an analogous survey from 2015, this paper also aims to present the direction of changes in terms of competences required from controllers in organizations in Poland. To achieve the research ob-jective, a study was conducted using a questionnaire. 143 correctly completed questionnaires were used for the analysis. The results of the study indicate that the most important personal qualities that a man-agement accounting specialist should have include commitment, integrity and objectivity, and analytical skills. Among the requirements for professional preparation, the most important was the knowledge of IT tools, knowledge of management accounting and the broad understanding of business. Comparison of the results of the current survey with the conclusions of the 2015 survey allows to state that changes in the scope of competences of controllers employed in enterprises in Poland largely follow the global trend resulting from the evolution of the organization's business environment.
In and Around Salem – The Cultural and Legal Aspects of Witch and Wizard Hunting and Their Trials
Authors: Brenet Tomasz
Published: July 2020

The history of development of various societies and communities contains elements which are both colorful and disquieting, being the result of shared concerns, uncertainty or an attempt at providing an explanation for phenomena which could not be clarified by means of the then level of knowledge or science.
One of the phenomena concerned the (alleged) magic and other co-related practices which appeared in folk beliefs as well as in the mainstream of popular culture (this shall concern especially the events occurring in the 16th and 17th centuries in Europe and North America).
The objective of this article is to scrutinize the problem of magic in its cultural and legal aspect. By a social analysis of cultural circumstances characterizing the American population of that period, it becomes possible to describe and understand the foundations of behaviors and acts leading in a given community to alienation and death of those suspected of collusions with unclean spirits and sentenced in the name of preserving public security and order or adjusting to the existing social system and binding religious and legal principles.
Taking into consideration the fact that in many countries the apparatus of hunting and judging witches and wizards had an institutionalized form, it becomes justifiable to refer to various texts of culture produced on the territory of the United States of America reporting on the cases examined by courts and describing the mechanisms of fighting with individuals devoting to illegal and unacceptable practices.
Eugenia Żmijewska’s trilogy as an example of a psychological novel
Authors: Banot Aleksandra
Published: July 2020

The trilogy of Eugenia Żmijewska (Little Flame, Fate, Sweetheart), published in the years 1907–1911, is a part of the popular novel at the beginning of the twentieth century about women growing to maturity. According to Grażyna Borkowska, the writer also emphasizes the topics of psychosexual maturation. The visibility of this aspect of maturation determines the originality of Żmijewska and her sense of modernist conventions, although the writer does not use such terms as intimate, corporal, or sexual. It is these problems that I look at in my article. I am interested in a much broader context of psychological (e.g. emotional, social) development during adolescence and early adulthood. I want to pay attention not only to the normative aspect of the process, but also to difficulties and disorders. Perhaps Żmijewska was an average writer, but she had good knowledge of the psychology of maturing girls and young women, especially at a time when psychology was a fairly new discipline of science.
Old future, new past, or how Neil Gaiman tinkers with temporality in Marvel 1602
Authors: Bemben Alicja
Published: July 2020

The purpose of this article is to substantiate the thesis that, in the Marvel 1602 series, there is a common denominator of the narrative mechanisms with which its author embeds fiction in history and reworks selected characters from the so-called mainstream Marvel continuity. As such denominator, I see the idea of repeatability of situational and behavioural patterns. With this end in view, I open this work by outlining how selected events of the so-called “age of heroes” are transplanted into the Elizabethan age. Second, I show how chosen Marvel characters are reworked to match the sixteenth- and seventeenth-century context. Third, I expand on the reiterative quality of the mechanisms the author uses for these purposes to support the view that the repeatability of situational and behavioural patterns is the main idea informing the narrative structure of Marvel 1602. In the conclusion section, I capitalise on the presented findings and suggest their potential implications.
The future-war fiction and the problem of two camps in “The Battle of Dorking” and P.G. Wodehouse’s The Swoop!
Authors: Jajszczok Justyna
Published: July 2020

The aim of the article is to compare and contrast two examples of the short-lived conservative literary genre of future-war fiction (also known as invasion literature) popular in Britain between the Franco-Prussian War of 1870-71 and the outbreak of the First World War in 1914. The analysed texts, “The Battle of Dorking” of 1871 and The Swoop! of 1909, are examined as manifestations of two camps with which commentators of projected future seem to identify: the camp comprising of people expressing genuine fears and future anxieties, and the camp of people mocking and dismissing these apprehensions. The article explores their social and political impacts and their potential legacy.

The aim of this article is to demonstrate that memoirs, which are usually examined in terms of their connection to the past, are often oriented towards the future. Using immigrant memoirs from the early twentieth century United States, this essay shows that immigrant authors wrote their memoirs with a specific audience in mind, an audience they believed they can instruct. One the one hand, immigrants addressed American citizens, and wanting to gain their sympathy, they described the difficulties of the immigrant life. On the other hand, they wrote for their fellow immigrants to show them that determination pays off and one can have a comfortable, or even successful, life in a new country. Their aim was to envision and promote a better future for the American society, a future based on tolerance and equality.
From Bauhaus to Our House: Tom Wolfe contra modernist architecture
Authors: Karczewska Anna Maria
Published: July 2020

In his 1981 book-length essay From Bauhaus To Our House, Tom Wolfe not only presents a compact history of modernist architecture, devoting the pages to masters such as Le Corbusier, Walter Gropius or Ludwig Mies van der Rohe but also frontally attacks modern architecture and complains that a small group of architects took over control of people’s aesthetic choices. According to Wolfe, modern buildings wrought destruction on American cities, sweeping away their vitality and diversity in favour of the pure, abstract order of towers in a row. Modernist architects, on the other hand, saw the austere buildings of concrete, glass and steel as signposts of a new age, as the physical shelter for a new, utopian society.
This article attempts to analyse Tom Wolfe’s selected criticisms of the modernist architecture presented in From Bauhaus to Our House. In order to understand Wolfe’s discontent with modernist architecture’s basic tenets of economic, social, and political conditions that prompted architects to pursue a modernist approach to design will be discussed.
Socialism or Death: The Quarantine Edition
Authors: Konkol Sławomir
Published: July 2020

Slavoj Žižek, PAN(DEM)IC! – COVID-19 SHAKES THE WORLD (New York and London: O/R Books) is a publicity stunt and a logistic achievement at least as much as a proper book. One must admire the speed with which it was produced and the foresight of its author, who began following the topic closely before most commentators in the West. It is all the more disappointing that the book’s central argument is not better organised and supported. This review considers both the moments of brilliance and the flaws of Slavoj Žižek’s most recent publication.
Modern orders
Authors: Matyja Rafał
Published: July 2020

The text attempts to reconstruct the major factors that shaped the modern economic, political and intellectual orders. Based on the assumption that the philosophical and ideological sources of the modern state were derived from social, economic and technological changes, the article explains how these changes were prepared in the modern age and how they influence development in the following 200 years. It also presents the ideas of dependencies between the rise of the modern state and capitalist economy. The conclusion presents the challenges connected with new means of communication, new trends in economy and new social expectations, as well as the role that may be played by academic circles in responding to these.
Welcome to Postnormal Times
Authors: Sardar Ziauddin
Published: July 2020

All that was ‘normal’ has now evaporated; we have entered postnormal times, the in-between period where old orthodoxies are dying, new ones have not yet emerged, and nothing really makes sense. To have any notion of a viable future, we must grasp the significance of this period of transition which is characterised by three c's: complexity, chaos and contradictions. These forces propel and sustain postnormal times leading to uncertainty and different types of ignorance that make decision-making problematic and increase risks to individuals, society and the planet. Postnormal times demands, this paper argues, that we abandon the ideas of ‘control and management’, and rethink the cherished notions of progress, modernisation and efficiency. The way forward must be based on virtues of humility, modesty and accountability, the indispensible requirement of living with uncertainty, complexity and ignorance. We will have to imagine ourselves out of postnormal times and into a new age of normalcy—with an ethical compass and a broad spectrum of imaginations from the rich diversity of human cultures.
Pope Mark VII
Authors: Elhage-Mensching Lina
Published: July 2020

This book is the first to publish and annotate three letters written in Arabic by the Coptic Pope, Mark VII (†️1769). They are part of a series of correspondence between Mark VII and the Moravian Church, which was active in Egypt between 1752 and 1783. The author presents the background to this correspondence, including the Moravian Church’s eventual failed mission in Ethiopia, in introductory chapters. The letters reflect the initial contact between the Moravian and Coptic Churches and provide insights into Mark VII’s relationship to the Moravians and other Christian denominations. The latter aspect can also be identified in Mark VII’s homily on true faith, which is published in an edited form in the book’s appendix.
Mastication Muscle Suppression by the Mandibular Branch of Trigeminal Nerve Catheter-Based, Ultrasound-Guided Block: A Case Report
Authors: Yousefshahi Fardin , Asenjo Juan Francisco , Majedi Hossein
Published: July 2020

Introduction: Ultrasound-guided nerve blocks have enhanced our abilities to selectively and effectively suppress certain nerves to accomplish specific goals, including blockade a localized seizure muscle movement without affecting the seizure threshold or level of the consciousness. Case Presentation: This is a case report of the blockade of the movement of a chewing muscle by the continuous (catheter-based) mandibular nerve block in a 27 years old man with high-frequency partial seizures in facial muscles who was a candidate for seizure focus ablation. An out-of-plane approach was used to insert a catheter near the mandibular nerve to provide intermittent or continuous peripheral nerve block. This report demonstrated that a continuous block of the mandibular nerve could effectively facilitate the seizure focus mapping and ablation. Conclusions: We can selectively suppress the contractures of a certain muscle in partial seizures by a continuous block of the responsible nerve. This blockade can facilitate seizure focus mapping and ablation.
Mortality Related to Intubation in Adult General ICUs: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Authors: Hussain Khan Zahid , Sasaa Mohammed AbdulZahra , Mohammadi Mostafa , Alipour Abbas , Hajipour Asghar
Published: July 2020

Context: Mortality related to intubation occurs as a result of multiple factors such as patient's condition, operator's skills, equipment use, intubation time, duration of laryngoscopy and intubation, and drugs and dosage used for endotracheal intubation (ETI). Objectives: This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to determine mortality related to intubation and the overall intensive care unit (ICU) mortality rate in adult general ICUs. Methods: We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis on randomized clinical trials and cohort and cross-sectional research from three electronic databases with hand searching. The studies reported mortality related to intubation and the overall ICU mortality rate in adult general ICUs. Our search resulted in 28 published articles without any restriction on date and language. The systematic review and meta-analysis was performed to examine mortality related to intubation and the overall ICU mortality rate. Results: We found 7,866 articles in the literature review from the three databases based on our keywords, of which 28 studies were eligible to include in the study. We observed that mortality related to intubation and the overall ICU mortality rate in intubated patients were 1% and 30%, respectively. Conclusions: This was the first comprehensive systematic review on mortality related to intubation and the overall ICU mortality rate in adult general ICUs, which showed the current care of ETI. However, it was associated with increased complications, which may increase mortality.
A Review of Bispectral Index Utility in Neurocritical Care Patients
Authors: Yousefi-Banaem Hossein , Goharani Reza , Hajiesmaeili Mohammadreza , Tafrishinejad Arash , Zangi Masoud , Amirdosara Mahdi , Nashibi Masoud
Published: July 2020

Context: Bispectral Index (BIS) was introduced in 1960 to monitor the depth of anesthesia in the operating rooms. It has been recently used to monitor the sedation in the critically ill patients hospitalized in intensive care and neurocritical care units (NCCU). Evidence Acquisition: Patients in the NCCU, particularly those with prolonged mechanical ventilation require appropriate adjustments in the administration of sedative drugs. Similarly, those who require neuro protection with barbiturates need to be closely monitored in the depth of their coma. Results: BIS may be a useful tool in this situation, and it can also help shorten the duration of mechanical ventilation by determining the appropriate time to eliminate patients from mechanical ventilation. We conducted a literature search to evaluate the utility of BIS monitoring in the NCCU patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage, intracranial hemorrhage, coma, cerebral hypoxia, status epilepticus and traumatic brain injury. Conclusions: BIS monitoring may be a useful adjunct to take care of the patients. However, further studies with a larger population and better design are required to substantiate the role of BIS monitoring in the care of NCCU patients.
Is It Necessary to Recommend Iodine Supplement to Pregnant Women Living in Areas with Adequate Iodine Intake?
Authors: Sovid Mahmood , Bahmani Maryam , Aamsami Alamtaj
Published: July 2020

Background: Iodine need is increased during pregnancy and its deficiency can lead to complications in mother and fetus. The latest international guidelines have recommended a higher intake of iodine. Iran has implemented a national salt iodization program since 25 years ago, and the general population is iodine-sufficient. However, recent studies have shown that a significant proportion of pregnant women have urinary iodine concentration (UIC) below the recommended range of 150 - 250 µg/L. Based on the results of these studies, iodine supplement during pregnancy is widely used, but this practice is controversial. Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the necessity for iodine supplementation in pregnant women living in Shiraz, an iodine-replete area. Methods: In this cross-sectional case-control study, UIC and thyroid-stimulating hormone of 174 pregnant women taking 150 µg/day iodine (group 1) were compared with 124 pregnant women not taking the supplement (group 2). The proportion of women with UIC below the recommended level in each group was also determined. UIC of the women in different trimesters in each group was also investigated and compared. Results: Mean UIC in groups 1 and 2 was 175.71 ± 56.43 µg/L and 122.5 ± 44.37 µg/L and this difference was significant (P = 0.006). Also, 56% of women in group 2 and 24 % in group 1 had UIC below the recommended value (P < 0.01). Mean UIC in both groups decreased with advancing gestational age. In group 1, mean UIC remained in the recommended range, whereas in group 2, it decreased to less than 100 µg/L. Conclusions: In areas covered by the national salt iodine implementation program, it is necessary to recommend iodine supplement to pregnant women to prevent iodine insufficiency.
