Published: June 2022

En las últimas décadas, las potencias emergentes no sólo han sido objeto de estudio de diversas disciplinas académicas, sino también de deseo de empresas que buscan incrementar sus ventas en nuevos mercados con gran poder adquisitivo. La venta de bebidas alcohólicas es un ejemplo. El consumo de alcohol ha crecido en países emergentes al mismo tiempo que mejora la calidad de vida de sus habitantes, tendencia que es distinta en los países desarrollados. El objetivo del artículo es explorar la relación entre el consumo del alcohol y el índice de desarrollo humano -IDH en los países del grupo BRICS (Brasil, Rusia, India, China y Sudáfrica), y comparar dicha tendencia con las economías desarrolladas. La metodología utilizada fue cuantitativa, basada en la construcción de una base de datos con información del 2000 al 2015, obtenidos del Banco Mundial, la Organización Mundial de la Salud y el Programa de las Naciones Unidas para el Desarrollo, así como en la realización de pruebas de correlación de Pearson y regresiones lineales. Los resultados obtenidos mostraron que existe una correlación entre estos indicadores en ambos grupos de países, y que, al compararlos, las tendencias son inversas, comprobando la influencia del desarrollo económico en el incremento de consumo de alcohol en países emergentes.

Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate the pharyngeal airway and hyoid measurements according to gender and pre-peak, peak and post-peak growth-development stages.Method: In our study were included 531 people. The classification of the patients according to the pubertal growth attack periods in the grouping according to the growth-development period was determined from the lateral cephalometric films taken at the beginning of the treatment. The pharyngeal airway and hyoid measurements were compared according to three different growth-development periods. SPSS program was used for data analysis. Results: A statistical relationship was observed between growth-development periods, gender and chronological age (p<0.05). A statistically significant difference was found in the majority (86%) of pharyngeal airway dimensions and hyoid measurements in all three groups (p<0.05).Conclusions: With age and as the growth-development periods progress, the dimensions of the pharyngeal airway increase and the hyoid bone moves downwards.
THE PRESENCE OF ANTIOXIDANTS IN THE HAIR INFUNDIBULUM IMPLICATIONS IN HAIR DISEASES SUCH AS ALOPECIA
Authors: Embi Abraham A.
Published: June 2022

Anatomically, as a rule the hairs in mammals consists of an unseen follicle or root anchored into the skin with a shaft or visible hair exiting exteriorly. As a note of interest, the hair follicle has been described as a miniorgan having its own cells division, metabolism and aging stages (1). As previously stated “metabolism entails electron transfers in both plants (photosynthesis) and animals (cellular respiration) involving movement of electrons from donor to acceptor along the electron transfer chain thus inducing a current within each cell and from cell to cell” (2,3). This continuity of energy transfer in living organisms is at the very essence of life; and is ubiquitously present in all living matter and the generator of Bioelectricity (a.k.a. electromagnetic radiation), the protein enzyme catalase having an essential pivotal role in energy production in the breakdown of toxic materials such as H2O2 into H2O and O2 molecules. During the breakdown of O2 molecules energy is generated. When catalase is depleted life ends and regional death occurs (4,5). We could then theorize that if cell respiration ceases throughout the entire organism (organs) death ensues (6). Only in living tissue is that elimination of toxic material such as H2O2 has any relevance.

Published: June 2022

Brand personality is highly significant for creating brand loyalty to withstand pressure in the highly competitive environment. Due to the cosmopolitanism and affordable traveling, people have become jaded and hard to surprise, thus, cities’ authorities must create smart destination brand personalities to attract more visitors. The aim of this paper is to gather the most popular city branding tools, trends and similarities through bibliometric study and present a broad view of the researches that have been conducted regarding destination brand personality. As a methodology, it uses a qualitative analysis which was made by exploring a scientific database. A common ground for all previous research on the topic tends to be the 5 Aaker’s Brand Personality Scale dimensions (1997) or extended to the 6 dimensions scale used in the most recent studies. The limitations of the research can indicate that there are still gaps in the literature connected to this topic, and the paper includes suggestions to fill them in. Most of the studies had focused on tourists’ perspective, and do not take residents’ views into consideration. As main results, we found that, research shows that young residents should be more involved into the destination’s branding process. Also, social media platforms as a marketing tool for promoting cities and gathering feedback from locals and tourists are understudied.

Published: June 2022

A garantia dos serviços de saneamento para a população rural é assimétrica quando comparada aos serviços prestados à população urbana, é também antiga e persiste, ainda hoje, no Brasil. Diante desse cenário, a pesquisa analisou o componente de saneamento básico nas residências subsidiadas pelo Programa Minha Casa Minha Vida Rural (PMCMV) a partir de estudo de caso, com a realização da pesquisa em campo e análise de documentos do programa em Pontalina, Goiás. Os parâmetros de avaliação foram: financiamento disponibilizado; existência de assessoria técnica; tecnologias ofertadas; e atendimento de forma integrada aos quatro eixos do saneamento básico. Observou-se que o PMCMVR tem potencial de articulação da política setorial de habitação com a política setorial de saneamento, entretanto, o Programa ainda não atende aos quatro componentes do saneamento básico de forma integrada. Muitas ações e iniciativas dependem do empreendedorismo e do protagonismo dos beneficiários, das entidades organizadoras ou de outras organizações não governamentais que fazem a mediação entre a população rural e as políticas pública.

Problems with the Meaning of the Al-Quran in Conventional Interpretation MethodsThis article explores the deviations in meaning in the interpretation of the Qur'an resulting from the use of conventional methods of interpretation, and what causes these deviations. This study is a literature review using descriptive-analytical method. The findings indicate that the interpretation resulting from the use of conventional interpretation methods has causes that make the results of the interpretation of the Koran deviate. There are two categories of causes, namely; underlying causes and specific causes. The basic cause of the deviation occurs because the requirements and standards for interpretation are not fulfilled optimally and consistently. The causes specifically for these deviations are related to the factors of interpretation deviation in the al-ma'tsur, al-ra'yu and al-isyari approaches. Knowledge of the causes of deviations in the meaning of the Qur'an can be a separate part of conventional interpretation methods

Eggs are an almost perfect source of animal protein. Commercial chicken eggs are a perfect food that contains nutrients such as protein (12.8 %) and fat (11.8 %). In 100 grams of whole eggs also contain vitamin A of 327.0 IU and minerals of 256.0 mg. Eggs contain high-quality protein because they have a complete composition of essential amino acids and have a high biological value, which is 100 %. The high content of water, fat and protein in eggs make this food as a good medium for bacterial growth so that their shelf life is quite short. Drying eggs into powder offers many advantages, including ease of storage, distribution, protection against microbial growth (low water activity), reduced weight per volume of whole eggs, longer shelf life. The use of egg powder as an additive to other food products is easier than using fresh eggs. The purpose of this review is to study the nutritional characteristics, functional properties and benefits of egg flour. The nutritional value and functional properties of egg powder, egg white powder and egg yolk powder can still provide maximum results both for raw material products or as food additives. The use of egg powder will facilitate industry, especially medium and large scale industries in handling, packaging, storage and processing compared to use with fresh eggs.

This study aims to identify potential ethnic plants with medicinal properties in Bima Regency, Indonesia, as hand sanitizers. The type of research is experimental research, with a completely randomized design with two factorials: concentration of medicinal plant extracts and the ratio of alcohol and triclosan. The medicinal plants used are cherry, meniran (Phyllanthus Urinaria), the burden of straw, ketepeng (Senna alata), white turmeric, and guava, taken from the leaves. The results showed that the test plant extracts (cherry, meniran, pandanus, ketepeng, white turmeric, and guava) all had inhibitory power based on the test concentration. The ability of the inhibition of bacteria in the test plant extracts had different diameters of inhibition, where the average concentration of each concentration that had the lowest diameter of inhibition could be seen in the plant extract. In contrast, in the plant extract treatment, the inhibition zone began to appear at a concentration of 20%. In other treatments with other test plant extracts, a zone of the inhibition began to form at a concentration of 10%. Meanwhile, the plant extract which has the largest relative inhibition zone is the white turmeric plant extract. Tests on each test, namely cherry, meniran, ketepeng, white turmeric, and guava, used a concentration of 10%, and the burden of straw used an extract concentration of 20%. The overall hand sanitizer shows characteristics in the treatment concentration A1 = 4% and the concentration of alcohol and triclosan B2 = 1 ml: 1.5 g.pH of the hand sanitizer for various plants was obtained in a relatively similar pH range, namely in the range of 6.06 - 6.82.

Published: June 2022

Objective: To measure glomerular filtration rate, free thyroxin, and thyrotrophin in chronic kidney disease patients and to find out the correlation between glomerular filtration rates, free thyroxin and thyrotrophin in these patients. Study Design: Cross Sectional Analytical study. Setting: Bacha Khan Medical Complex Swabi. Period: November 2018 to November 2019. Material & Methods: Sixty five patients were included in the study.  Serum Creatinine, TSH and Free T4 were measured; Thyroid function tests TSH, FT4 were measured in these chronic kidney disease patients through enzyme linked immunosorbant assay method. GFR was calculated through Cock-croft-Gualt formula and the relevant data was entered in a predesigned Proforma. Results: In the study total 65 chronic kidney disease patients were taken. Out of which thirty six (55.4%) were male and twenty nine (44.6%) were female. Thirty five (53.8%) CKD patients whose TSH level was above the normal limit while in the remaining patients the TSH values were in the normal range. Eight patients (12.3%) out of sixty five patients in whom FT4 values were below the normal limit while in the remaining fifty seven patients (87.6%)  FT4 values were within the reference range. Those eight patients whose FT4 was below the normal value, their TSH values were above the normal value too. Thirty five patients, whose TSH levels were above the normal limit, their mean age was 50.60± 11.95, mean serum creatinine was 4.73± 2.94 mg/dl, mean GFR was 22.17± 12.48 ml/min/1.73m2, mean TSH was 6.68± 0.87 mIU/L and mean FT4 was 0.97± 0.35 ng/dl. The p-value of TSH was < 0.001 and FT4 was < 0.05 in comparing with control group. Glomerular filtrations rate with TSH and FT4 the co-efficient of correlation (r) value for 35 patients was – 0.713 and 0.47 for TSH and FT4 respectively. Their p- values were 0.000 and 0.004 respectively, and p < 0.001 collectively. This was found to be statistically significant. Linear regression line was obtained between GFR and FT4 in CKD patients. Conclusion: chronic kidney disease is associated with biochemical thyroid dysfunctions causing most commonly subclinical hypothyroidism.

Objectives: To assess the association of maternal and neonatal complications from COVID-19 severity. Study Design: Case-series. Setting: Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Combined Military Hospital (CMH), Peshawar Pakistan. Period: June 2020 to Dec 2020. Material & Methods: 50 pregnant patients with COVID-19 were included. Clinical information on COVID-19 exposures and information on maternal and neonatal complications were noted through a pre-designed proforma. The Kendall’s tau (τ) test was applied between maternal complications and neonatal complications, COVID-19 severity (in mothers) & maternal/neonatal complications. Results: More women (52%) were asymptomatic in COVID-19 exposure. Mild symptoms with no shortness of breath were reported in 44% of women, whereas only 4% required ventilator support. 80% of women were in postpartum when they turned COVID-19 negative. In the majority (72%) of women, no maternal complications were noted. In 14% of them, oligohydramnios was reported. Preterm labor and PROM/PPROM were reported in 6% of mothers. Preterm birth was reported 10%, fetal, the APGAR score was 7-9 out of 10. In the majority of neonates (94%), no early death was reported. 42% of distress/meconium was 8%, intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) was 6%, and stillbirth was 5%. In 82% of neonates were COVID-19 negative on PCR. A strong correlation existed between maternal complications and neonatal complications. However, a weak correlation was observed between COVID-19 severity (in mothers) and maternal & neonatal complications. Conclusion: Although maternal and neonatal complications were strongly linked to each other, these complications had a weak association with the presence of COVID-19.

O tema do Catolicismo Popular levanta uma série de problemas. Um deles é elaborar critérios para conhecer a autenticidade do catolicismo e assim podermos assumir uma posição crítica diante do catolicismo seja popular como oficial. Há alguns temas no Congresso que de certa maneira tocam a nossa problemática, como a questão do significado do «catolicismo» no catolicismo popular (L. Boff) e o confronto entre o duplo catolicismo, popular e oficial (Pedro R. de Oliveira). Como os trabalhos foram elaborados independentemente uns dos outros, talvez eles impliquem em um sobrepor-se de questões. Mas é de esperar que os caminhos assumam direções diferentes...
