Published: April 2020

Introduction: Low back pain (LBP) is a very common musculoskeletal disorder. The big burden of disease necessitates investigating a more effective modality of treatments with more persistence and also fewer side effects. Low power laser has been proved as a pain reducing modality, but there is a lack of studies comparing it with other treatments and also among the Iranian race and society. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of low-level laser on patients with LBP. Methods: Our study was a single-blind, randomized controlled trial. Forty subjects, aged between 20 to 70 with LBP participated in the study. Their pain severity scale was 3-10 according to the visual analogue scale of pain (VAS). They were randomly assigned to two groups, a case group (true laser) and a control group (sham laser). Naproxen was prescribed with a free dose (250-1000 mg/ daily) to both groups. We evaluated patients’ subjective pain, functional status (using the Roland Morris disability questionnaire), spinal range of motion (ROM) and spinal tenderness at the basic time, one month and 3 months after treatment. The true laser group received 12 sessions of laser (160 mW) and the control group took 12 sessions of sham laser (the same laser instrument in off status). An infrared laser GaAlAs, wavelength 808 nm, power 160 mw and spot size 1 cm2 and power density 0.16 J/cm2 in continuous mode was used in treatment. We applied the laser to articular spaces of vertebral column, adjacent paravertebral points, pain radiating areas, tender points and also pain-controlling acupuncture points. Results: Of the 40 participants in the study, 6 persons were excluded and thus the data obtained from 34 participants were statistically analyzed. There was significant improvement in pain (P<0.001 for both groups), functional status (Case group: P<0.001; control group: P=0.004) and spinal ROM (Case group: P<0.001; control group: P=0.007) in both groups at the end of the first month, but these gains persisted for 3 months only in the case group (P<0.001). Regarding spinal tenderness, it was disappeared in 89.47% of the patients in the true laser group at the end of one month but remained unchanged in 73.33% of the subjects of the sham laser group. Conclusion: We concluded that laser therapy (in combination with NSAIDs) is an effective and long-lasting therapeutic strategy in bringing relief from LBP without any significant side effect.

Introduction: One of the unexpected side effects of the Haas type palatal expander is ulcers progressing to necrotic lesions in the palatal area due to poor hygiene. The use of antibiotic therapy is mandatory. However, long periods of healing/pain and the need for a systemic host response with the aid of metabolization, especially in children, are issues that should be taken into account in the management of this type of injury. Since phototherapy modalities (antimicrobial photodynamic therapy [aPDT] and photobiomodulation therapy [PBMT]) are able to enhance and accelerate the healing process and reduce the bacterial load, this case report aimed to describe the use of the above-mentioned therapies to treat palatal ulcers occurring during orthodontic expansion. Case Report: The patient, a 10-year-old boy, with a chief complaint of bleeding and continuous pain in the region of his expander was verified on a follow-up visit. After a dental examination, the expander was removed and two necrotic lesions which were in contact with the acrylic part of the tooth-tissue expander were found in the palatal region. The proposal was to use one aPDT session with methylene blue followed by 4 sessions of PBMT with a red laser diode. On the 5th day, reorganized tissue was verified, with the absence of bleeding, swelling, and pain. On the 20th day of follow-up, the area showed no signs of inflammation, healthy tissue without any pathological clinical symptoms, and complete wound healing. Conclusion: The concomitant use of PBMT and aPDT therapies may be considered feasible as an adjunct treatment to manage palatal ulcers resulting from the incorrect use of tooth-tissue types of expanders
Elliptic Blending with One-Equation Model

Published: April 2020

A wall-distance-free modification to Wray-Agarwal (WA) one-equation turbulence model is convoked using an elliptic relaxation approach to accurately accounting for non-local characteristics of near-wall turbulence. Model coefficients/functions are parameterized with the elliptic relaxation function to preserve the combined effects of near-wall turbulence and nonequilibrium. The characteristic length scale associated with the elliptic relaxation equation is formulated in terms of viscous and turbulent length scales in conjunction with the invariant of strain-rate tensor. Consequently, non-local effects are explicitly influenced by the mean flow and turbulent variables. A near-wall damping function is introduced to relax the viscous length-scale coefficient adhering to the elliptic relaxation model. Comparisons indicate that the new model improves the accuracy of flow simulations compared to the widely used Spalart-Allmar as model and remains competitive with the SST model.A good correlation is obtained between the current model and DNS/experimental data.

Authors: Moreira Leonardo Pedriça , Zagonel Luís Roberto de Oliveira
Published: April 2020

O presente trabalho visa analisar a interceptação telefônica como meio de obtenção de prova no processo penal. Como a captura de conversações restringe os direitos fundamentais à intimidade e à inviolabilidade das comunicações, constitucionalmente assegurados, tal procedimento só pode ser realizado se observados os requisitos contidos na Lei nº 9.296/96. Destarte, cumpre aos operadores do Direito Penal exercer o controle de legalidade das interceptações telefônicas, a fim de combater eventuais excessos cometidos no curso da persecução criminal. Objetiva-se analisar a relação existente entre a interceptação telefônica e os aludidos direitos fundamentais, bem como explicitar quais são os requisitos legais que devem ser atendidos para que se tenha uma captura válida. No tocante à metodologia, realizou-se pesquisa bibliográfica sobre tema, notadamente em livros das searas de Direito Constitucional e Direito Processual Penal, bem como procedeu-se a exame documental da Constituição da República Federativa do Brasil de 1988, da Lei Federal nº 9.296/96 e de acórdãos do Superior Tribunal de Justiça e do Supremo Tribunal Federal. Da análise desse material, concluiu-se que a Lei nº 9.296/96 apresenta, de forma dispersa em seus dispositivos, um total de nove requisitos que devem ser observados para a realização de uma interceptação telefônica. Ademais, a citada lei é, afinal, de grande valia para a produção probatória no processo penal, ante a garantia ao devido processo legal que assegura, bem como por representar ponto de equilíbrio entre a proteção da intimidade e do sigilo das comunicações, de um lado, e, de outro, a persecução penal estatal.

Published: April 2020

El raleo de frutos es una práctica común en los huertos de manzana (Malus x domestica Borkh.) para obtener frutos de mayor tamaño y promover el retorno de la floración. Esta práctica genera manzanas inmaduras y de diámetro pequeño (10 a 40 mm) que son utilizadas ocasionalmente como alimento para ganado. La utilización de la manzana de raleo como fuente alternativa de pectina podría incrementar la rentabilidad de los huertos y el desarrollo de nuevos procesos de transformación. La pectina es un polisacárido localizado en la pared celular de los tejidos vegetales, que se ha extraído de distintas fuentes y utilizado exitosamente en la industria alimentaria. Este trabajo de investigación tuvo como objetivo extraer la pectina de manzanas de raleo de las variedades Golden Delicious (GD) y RedChief Delicious (RChD), y determinar las propiedades gelificantes del polisacárido. La pectina fue extraída mediante hidrólisis ácida controlada, con un rendimiento de 12 y 11 % (p/p) para GD y RChD, respectivamente. Las pectinas obtenidas fueron desesterificadas por vía alcalina y presentaron grados de esterificación de 35 % (GD) y 42 % (RChD). Ambas pectinas formaron geles iónicos inducidos por calcio, con una elasticidad de 147 y 90 Pa para GD y RChD, respectivamente, a una concentración de polisacárido de 2 % (p/v). La pectina desesterificada de manzanas inmaduras de raleo presenta propiedades físico-químicas y gelificantes que podrían ser de interés para las industrias alimentaria, farmacéutica y cosmética.
IRREGULARIDADES MEIÓTICAS EN HÍBRIDOS INTERGENÉRICOS Helianthus annuus L. x Tithonia rotundifolia (Mill.) S.F. Blake

Published: April 2020

El girasol cultivado, Helianthus annuus, y la especie silvestre Tithonia rotundifolia, son miembros de dos géneros pertenecientes a la familia de las asteráceas y comparten un número cromosómico común (2n = 2x = 34). En esta investigación se analizaron los apareamientos cromosómicos meióticos de híbridos intergenéricos H. annuus x T. rotundifolia, obtenidos en una investigación previa, en la cual todas las plantas resultaron estériles. La técnica de preparación de células meióticas consistió en aplastamiento y tinción con colorante carmín. Los meiocitos en diacinesis, metafase I y anafase I, se analizaron en un microscopio compuesto. La meiosis en los híbridos F1 presentó apareamientos altamente irregulares, con la presencia de univalentes y multivalentes en diacinesis-metafase I, cromosomas adelantados, cromosomas rezagados y puentes cromosómicos en anafase I, así como díadas desbalanceadas al final de la anafase I. El apareamiento anormal indica que hay una segregación cromosómica irregular que está originando la esterilidad tanto masculina como femenina previamente reportada de los híbridos intergenéricos. Se infiere que los genomas parentales (Línea HA 89 de H. annuus y T. rotundifolia Ac. 26) son incompatibles en la meiosis, lo cual ocasiona una segregación irregular que impide la formación de gametos viables, y deshabilita la capacidad reproductiva sexual de las plantas híbridas.

Biosynthesis of volatile compounds (VC), as well as activity of related enzymes (lipoxygenase LOX, alcohol acyltransferase AAT, and alcohol dehydrogenase ADH), and fatty acids (palmitic, stearic, oleic, linoleic and linolenic acids) were assessed in Golden Delicious fruit apples (Malus domestica Borkh.) during 1 ºC storage at different atmosphere conditions. Three atmosphere conditions were used: 21 % O2 and > 1 % CO2 (Regular Atmosphere, RA), 3 % CO2 and 2 % O2 (Controlled Atmosphere, CA), and CA, with 7 d under RA conditions (CA + RA), to evaluate the effect of shorts periods under air storage. CA conditions inhibited the production of butyl acetate and hexyl acetate esters, and increased hexanol concentration. Production of the branched ester 2-methyl butyl acetate did not decrease under CA conditions. As a result of 7 d under RA, butyl acetate and hexyl acetate in CA + RA increased, mainly after one month of storage. Storage under CA conditions inhibited LOX and AAT activity at some stages whereas ADH activity increased during CA storage. LOX activity showed high correlation with production of aldehydes (r2 = 0.85) and cis-2-hexenal (r2 = 0.94), during storage of apples under CA conditions. Good correlation was found between AAT activity and total esters and butyl acetate content under CA storage of apples (r2 = 0.92 and r2 = 0.93, respectively). While most fatty acids increased in concentration during RA and CA storage, linolenic acid content decreased. No correlation between volatile compounds content and fatty acid production was found.

Pinus patula Schiede ex Schltdl. et Cham. es un pino endémico de México, ampliamente utilizado en plantaciones comerciales en varios países. La propagación masiva de materiales mejorados de esta especie mediante el enraizado de estacas, proporciona la oportunidad para aumentar y uniformar su productividad. Se comparó el sustrato (perlita vs. mezcla de turba con vermiculita), edad de planta madre (12, 18 y 24 meses) y dosis de ácido indolbutírico (AIB) (0, 5000 y 10 000 ppm) (i.e., mg L-1) en el enraizado de estacas de P. patula, mediante un arreglo factorial en diseño experimental de bloques completos al azar. La supervivencia, enraizado, número y longitud de raíces, presencia de raíces secundarias y desarrollo de callo se evaluaron después de 14 semanas. En el sustrato con perlita se presentó el mayor porcentaje de enraizado de las estacas (21.4 vs. 14.7 %) y fue evidente el efecto de la dosis de AIB y edad de planta madre en la respuesta de las estacas. La capacidad de enraizado se redujo casi a la mitad (de 29.2 a 15.8 % en el sustrato de perlita) al aumentar de 12 a 24 meses la edad de las plantas madre. El AIB inhibió la formación de raíces en las estacas de menor edad, pero no en las de 24 meses. El control de los factores evaluados permitió obtener más de 50 % de enraizado en uno de los tratamientos, valor aceptable en un programa operativo de clonación.

Analisa Kinerja Keuangan 34 Provinsi Indonesia di Tahun 2018
Authors: Yoewono Harsono
Published: April 2020

Power sharing and delegation is politics in nature. The economic side appears on the regional budget planning and realisation. It is the mechanics and the setting of general policy, priority, and plafond of temporary budget. The latent fiscal gap occurs when revenues collected are lesser than expenditures spent, vice versa. Higher portion of expenditures posted as basic allocation has not been coped well with steady regional income. Supports in terms of better capability and capacity to collect regional revenues appear to be non-existent and meaningless, but the resource-rich regions. Even so, the central government appears to have big and deep impacts on the definition of taxable objects and types, and local retributions. This study is to seek which financial performance indicators that can be well-predicted by a numerous variables and indicators forming the regional budgets (APBD) of 34 provinces in Indonesia in 2018. The data was collected from DJPK website in early May 2019. The research method is quantitative descriptive in nature, and using both the OLS regression and determinant regression analysis. Based on the research of recent studies, a numerous financial performance indicators were derived as dependent variables, along with the variables forming the regional budgets of 34 provinces in Indonesia as independent variables. Sixteen dependent variables were set, whilst the 48 independent variables comprised of 4 groups, that is 4 variables of regional specific (r_#), 23 variables of revenues (y_#), 9 variables of expenditures (c_#), and 12 variables of finance/fiscal (f_#). Upon the results of OLS linear regression, 3 variables of financial performance appeared to be the most significant and appealing than the rest. They were independence (k_08), the ratio of DAU in TKDD to the DAU Formula (k_16), dan decentralisation (k_10). On the contrary, 3 variables of financial performance appeared to have no determining variables. They were PAD growth (k_14), fiscal soundness and regional financial management (k_03), dan effectiveness (k_11). These 3 variables were a part of 4 variables having the least adjusted R2, with infrastructure (k_04) as the remaining one. The heteroscedastic nature that appears in the k_14 estimation equation has suggested that k_14 fails to be used as the benchmark and reference of financial performance of regional budgeting, at least in its definition and operationalisation in this study and research. Likewise the usage of f_07 variable, the fiscal gap 1, the difference of DAU Formula with basic allocation (in basic data source).
Quality assessment in medical rehabilitation

Published: April 2020

The advances of modern medicine, prolonging the average life-span, and especially the recognition of medical rehabilitation as a vital part of the medical process, have created rapid development in the field among most of the countries worldwide. The dynamic process of the development in the fields of medical rehabilitation in Russian healthcare, has brought up questions about different outlooks, principles and processes of quality assessment in medical rehabilitation. Taking into consideration the differences in the organizational structures and professional tendencies applying the indicators of quality into rehabilitation practice can prove to be challenging. In the last years the Israeli health system has gained much experience working with different rehabilitation structures. The Obligatory State Insurance of the Israeli health system forced Health Funds to developed optimal indicators for the evaluation of the professional quality in rehabilitation. The accumulated knowledge can help in creating a system for the quality assessment in Russian Federation. Rehabilitation is characterized by a long list of professional performance aspects which are exposed to quality control. That is why it is common to define indicators separately for the structures, processes, and results. In different countries dissimilar aspect of quality are defined as indicators, but all of them are built on similar principles which focus on the simplicity and objectiveness of information gathering, minimal dependency on the character of the auditor, combining different forms of internal and external examination, and including systems of quality control by gathering questionnaires from the patients and their family members. The chosen quality indicators of the rehabilitation process need to reflect on the different sides of the professional treatment, stimulating a constant increase in quality on account of organizational activities in the industry in general and in separate departments in particular. The International Classification of Functioning (ICF) is widespread over many countries and constitutes the accepted paradigm in the field of medical rehabilitation, and with time may become the optimal platform for developing a system of quality control worldwide.

Contesting Disclaimer-of-Reliance Clauses by Efficiency, Free Will, and Conscience

Mark Twain’s famous remark, “The report of my death was an exaggeration,” has become most apt in recent years as it pertains to the purported demise of the rule of caveat emptor in real estate transactions. An ancient maxim of law, caveat emptor puts a buyer on his guard to discover defects in things purchased, with no general duty by a seller to disclose defects of which he has knowledge. Despite the apparent abrogation of the concept by legislative and judicially-imposed- disclosure obligations, a new phenomenon has emerged that allows a seller of real property, or related real property services, to easily maneuver around the requirement of disclosure through strategic, rent-seeking conduct.
Caught Between a Rock, Negligence, Racism, and a Hard Place

In many instances, employers have an obligation to conduct criminal background checks on their applicants to ensure that the public that comes into contact with these employees shall not be harmed. In other instances, these criminal background checks are unnecessary as they prove to be of little relevance, yet they have the effect of causing a disparate impact within certain Title VII-protected classes, including Black Americans and Hispanics.

To resolve this disparate impact, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (“EEOC”) has set forth non-biding guidance, proposing an assessment of “Green Factors” that employers should consider before denying an ex-convict employment. In following this guidance, the EEOC aims to create equal employment opportunities for all job applicants including those with criminal histories. While this guidance and these Green factors play a large role in furthering societal benefits, many employers have raised objections to the recent EEOC guidance. Employers argue that the guidance creates a “catch-22,” forcing the employer to choose between being liable for negligent hiring and being liable for violating Title VII.

Because the EEOC guidance furthers fundamental societal interests, it should remain in effect. Nevertheless, the guidance must be amended in order to clarify its ambiguous language concerning “business necessity,” which will then resolve the catch-22 conflict that employers currently experience.
Posthuman “Meta(l)morphoses” in Jeanette Winterson’s The Stone Gods // "Meta(l)morfosis" posthumanas en The Stone Gods de Jeanette Winterson
Authors: Yazgünoğlu Kerim Can
Published: April 2020

Jeanette Winterson’s The Stone Gods (2007) pictures a futuristic world in which every body is technologically, discursively, and materially constructed. First of all, The Stone Gods foregrounds the futuristic conceptualization of embodiment and posthuman gendered bodies in relation to biotechnology, biogenetics, and robotics, interrogating contemporary dimensions of the interface between the human and the machine, nature and culture. Secondly, the novel focuses on environmental concerns relevant to our present age. More specifically, however, drawing our attention to posthuman toxic bodies in terms of “trans-corporeality,” as suggested by Stacy Alaimo, The Stone Gods is an invaluable literary means to speculate on our “posthuman predicament,” in Rosi Braidotti’s words, and global ecological imperilment. In The Stone Gods, Winterson provides not only a warning against the dehumanization of the human in the process of posthumanization, but also a salient picture of posthuman trans-corporeal subjects through a discussion of the beneficial and deleterious effects of biotechnology and machines on human-nonhuman “naturecultures.” On this view, looking at both human and nonhuman bodies through a trans-corporeal lens would contribute to an understanding of how material-discursive structures can profoundly transform human-nonhuman life on Earth. Resumen       The Stone Gods (2007) de Jeanette Winterson describe un mundo futurístico en el que todo el mundo está construido tecnológica, discursiva y materialmente. En primer lugar, The Stone Gods pone en primer plano la conceptualización futurista de la materialización y de los cuerpos  posthumanos provistos de género en relación con la biotecnología, la biogenética y la robótica, cuestionando las dimensiones contemporáneas del interfaz entre el humano y la máquina, naturaleza y cultura. En segundo lugar, la novela se centra en preocupaciones medioambientales relevantes en nuestra época. Más específicamente, sin embargo, haciendo notarlos cuerpos tóxicos post-humanos en términos de “trans-corporalidad,” tal y como sugiere Stacy Aliamo, The Stone Gods es un medio literario que no tiene precio a la hora de especular sobre nuestro “dilema posthumano,” en palabras de Rosa Braidotti, y sobre la peligrosidad ecológica global. En The Stone Gods Winterson no solo ofrece una advertencia sobre la deshumanización del humano en el proceso de posthumanización, sino también una imagen destacada de los sujetos posthumanos trans-corporales por medio de un debate de los efectos beneficiosos y dañinos de la biotecnología y de las máquinas sobre las “naturaculturas” humanas-no-humanas. En este sentido, observando los cuerpos humanos y no-humanos a través de una lente trans-corporal contribuiría a comprender cómo las estructuras materiales-discursivas pueden transformar profundamente la vida humana-no-humana de la Tierra.
Moniya amena: El origen del río Amazonas // Moniya amena: The Origin of the Amazon River
Authors: Galeano Juan Carlos
Published: April 2020

Resumen      Narrativas orales sobre un árbol gigantesco de la abundancia son comunes en las cosmovisiones indígenas por casi toda la cuenca amazónica. La historia revela que las transformaciones vida, muerte y el renacer garantizan la circulación de la energía vital capaz de adoptar todas las formas del paisaje. En la versión anterior, además de asociar al árbol con el origen del río, la preocupación ecológica de los pobladores parece coincidir con el llamado urgente en nuestra época a la creación una nueva imaginación ambiental que borre las dicotomías entre lo humano y no humano.Abstract      Oral narratives about a gigantic tree of abundance are common in the many indigenous cosmovisions throughout almost the entire Amazonian basin. The story reveals that transformations of life, death, and re-birth guarantee the circulation of vital energy capable of adopting all forms of the landscape. In this tale, in addition to associating the tree with the origin of the river, the ecological concern of the inhabitants seems to coincide with the urgent outcry of our era toward the creation of a new environmental imagination that erases the dichotomies between human and non-human life.

Overcoming the Burdensome Nazi Legacy in Germany’s Cultural Sphere (on the Example of the German Art Institutions
Authors: Soloshenko Viktoriia
Published: April 2020

The article examines the problem of overcoming the burdensome historical legacy of Nazism in the Federal Republic of Germany. Particular attention is attached to the mitigation of the impact of National Socialism on the cultural sphere. An important aspect of studying Nazi history is the analysis of the Weinmüller case, previously unknown archival documents that shed light on the dark pages of German history. The article discusses the place and role of the ‘Adolf Weinmüller’ art institution in Nazi art trade. It has been revealed that this famous art auction house laid the foundations for the development of modern art in Munich and paved the way for the “Neumeister” auction house. The author emphasizes that the provision of access to the private archives of the “Neumeister” auction house, which is the successor of ‘Adolf Weinmüller,’ was a breakthrough in solving national socialists’ crimes and an important step in overcoming the consequences of totalitarianism in Germany. By opening access to the archives of the auction house, Katrin Stoll, the owner of “Neumeister”, encouraged scholars tо conduct a detailed study. It is important to note that no other auction house in Germany has ever dared to take such bold steps. In such a way, the scientific basis was laid for a number of projects aimed at finding and declassifying archival documents. The author emphasizes that Germany’s experience in dealing with such an important problem as overcoming the burdensome historical legacy of Nazism through identification and restitution of property and cultural values looted by the Nazis, is invaluable. In recent decades, the process of addressing this range of problems has been put on a solid governmental footing. Keywords: Germany, auction houses “Adolf Weinmüller”, “Neumeister”, cultural values, collections, trafficking, alienation, National Socialism.
