The article presents the most feasible in the author's opinion the reasons for the existing structure of public R&D procurement market.
Commited an Antimonopolу Administrative Offence: Criterias for Determination
Authors: Kadymov F. F. , Trubinova E. I.
Published: September 2021

The achieving goals of competition protection and creation of conditions for effective market dynamics, as postulated by antimonopoly legislation, can only be achieved if the liability is determined in proportion to the commited offence. One of the most effective measures to prevent new offences is to held a law-breaker liable to a turnover-based fine. However, when applying this measure, one of the basic problems is the problem of calculating an administrative fine, namely, the question of determination the market, where was commited an administrative offence. The article presents the criteria for such a goods market, and also resolves the question of a balance between terms of antimonopoly legislation and administrative offences legislation.
Meaning of ‘controlled group’ in cartel cases: approaches of the authority and courts
Authors: Shcherba T. E.
Published: September 2021

Recent judicial practice regarding the interpretation of the ‘controlled group’ in order to apply exceptions from prohibition on cartel agreements is controversial. Taking advantage of the uncertainty that has arisen, many participants in cartel cases make attempts (and sometimes successfully) to prove that in fact the conspiracy took place within a controlled group, and, therefore, was permissible. In this article we will consider the most common arguments used by business entities in cases of cartels and evaluate the possibility of their application in modern conditions.

The Phenomenon of Corruption As a Type of Anti-Competitive Conduct Model
Authors: Fedotov D. Yu.
Published: September 2021

The article examines the origin of corruption as a social and economic phenomenon that is persistent in society. The purpose of the study is to identify the causes of corruption and the economic factors that influence it. It is revealed that corruption existed in all epochs of human society and in all countries of the world, regardless of their level of economic development and political structure. It is concluded that corruption, as a common phenomenon, comes from the usual human desire to obtain privileges in society, but with the use of illegal methods. It is revealed that in addition to cases of corruption, the desire to obtain a privileged position is also observed in cases where economic entities use an anti-competitive model of conduct in relations with other market participants. This led to a conclusion about the mutually overwhelming influence of competition and corruption on each other — the more competition is developed in a country, the lower the level of corruption in it. In this paper, using econometric methods, a correlation analysis of the relationship between competition and corruption in 140 countries of the world is carried out. The results obtained suggest that increasing the level of competition in the economy will reduce the scale of corruption in the country.

Authors: Shahen Md. Abu
Published: September 2021

Child vulnerability refers to the conditions where children have not the ability to protect themselves from harassment, maltreatment, and malnutrition which could weaken. This study has tried to reveal the prevalence and the nature of child vulnerability in Bangladesh, and the root causes of child vulnerability have also been explored and debated and discussed throughout the article. However, the study is narrative and qualitative in the manner and secondary data have been used to develop and support the arguments for the study. As findings, the study has also found that children are at great risks due to some notable reasons, such as excessive academic pressure, the worst form of child labor in the working place, disability, child trafficking, and natural disasters which led them to be victimized with maltreatment and malnutrition which is more prevalent in the rural and urban slum areas. Moreover, climate change and disasters have been playing an adverse role to increase the prevalence of children's vulnerability in Bangladesh. In conclusion, the study suggests that decision-makers and policymakers need to be more conscious and responsible to revise the existing legal frameworks and their effective implementation for the protection of children against vulnerability.

Transgressive Rupture or Subversive Culture: A Semiotic Deconstruction of Staetopygia in West African Cinema
Authors: COKER Wincharles
Published: September 2021

Based on a critical visual analysis of the scopophilia, body fetishism, and commodity culture, I attempt to deconstruct representations of the huge derrières of two actresses in Ghallywood and Nollywood. The analysis pays attention to how cinematographic elements of composition, color, and lighting in selected films the two actresses have starred reinforce the myth of the butt as a signifier of economic and socio/cultural capital. The article raises concerns over whether the hyper-sexualization of West African films points to a transgressive rupture of the industry or a subversive culture of the African ethos of decency.
Change and Continuity in Konkomba Medical Culture: A Historical Perspective of an Indigenous People in Northern Ghana
Authors: TASIN Oliver Kofi
Published: September 2021

Medicine (n-nyork) has been one of meaning laden words faced by scholars. This subject has attracted much attention from scholars, but the social aspect of health tied to people’s medical culture has been neglected. The paper examines the reasons and the context within which the medical culture of the Konkomba ensured social equilibrium and well-being. It further examines key medicines and healers that constituted the corpus of the Konkomba health system. Information was sourced from oral interviews, archival and secondary sources. The work focuses on the historiography of indigenous medicine in Ghana, in particular, and Africa in general. In conclusion, it analyses the impact of the Western understanding of medicine indicating that n-nyork (medicine) and ngbanpuan (health) were more holistic within the Konkomba conceptualisation. In that sense, the adoption and non-adaptation of the western view of health has led to more undesirable health situation in the twentieth century. That notwithstanding, the medical culture of the Konkomba still constitute an integral aspect of their medication.
Do Demographic Traits Matter? Backpackers’ Information Technology and Destination-Related Risk Concerns Towards Smartphone Usage
Authors: Dayour Frederick
Published: September 2021

A number of risks are associated with the use of mobile phones. However, there is still a paucity of evidence on the extent to which demographics influence risk perceptions of smartphone usage. This paper examines backpackers’ perceived risk of smartphone usage and the extent to which demographic attributes influence risk perceptions. A survey involving 567 backpackers was conducted in Ghana. The CFA, ANOVA and independent samples t-test were used to analyse the data. The study showed the relevance of coalescing information technology and destination risks factors in measuring perceived risks towards smartphone usage before assessing the effects of demographics on perceived risk. Importantly, backpackers’ risk perceptions are a function of their demographic traits, such as sex, age, education, income, occupation, continent of origin and travel experience. The theoretical and managerial implications of the study are discussed.
Effect of corporate culture on organisational performance of star-rated hotels in Ghana
Authors: Owusu Dominic
Published: September 2021

Although studies on the relationship between corporate culture and organisational performance abound in other jurisdictions, the focus has been on the composite effect of corporate culture on performance, with little attention given to the predictive value of the corporate culture types on organisational performance. Using the four major corporate culture types (clan, hierarchy, market, and adhocracy) on both financial and non-financial performance of star-rated hotels in Ghana, the study hypothesized that each corporate culture type will exert a positive effect on both financial and non-financial performance. Out of a population of 640 star-rated hotels, 248 hotels were involved in the study, using the multi-stage sampling technique. Questionnaires were administered to managers of the selected hotels. In all, a total of 178 responses were retrieved and analyzed using descriptive statistics (such as mean and standard deviation) and partial least squares in structural equation modeling. Findings of the study indicate that market culture was the most prominent predictor of profitability, return on investment, growth in profit, and sales volume, although it recorded a weak effect size. Adhocracy and hierarchy cultures were also the most prominent in predicting trust, improving supplier relations, improving service quality delivery, and customer retention. The study recommends, for the promotion of market, hierarchy and adhocracy corporate cultures in order to improve both financial and non-financial organisational performance of star-rated hotels in Ghana.

Authors: Appietu Melody Enyonam , Amuquandoh Eric Francis
Published: September 2021

Food safety studies have received much empirical investigation; however, limited studies regarding food safety and the microbiological quality of meals in boarding senior high schools exist. This study examined the food safety knowledge, the microbiological quality of school meals, as well as the barriers to food safety practices among food handlers in boarding senior high schools (SHS) in the Volta Region of Ghana. A cross-sectional research design was adopted for the study, using questionnaires to collect data from 97 food handlers in five boarding senior high schools in Volta Region, Ghana. A total of sixty samples of four cooked foods were collected and subjected to laboratory analysis. Descriptive statistics and Chi-square test were used to analyze the data. Results of the study revealed that respondents had good food safety knowledge. The laboratory results revealed the presence of rod and cocci shaped bacteria, where some of these isolates were identified as Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas spp., and Bacillus cereus which are possible pathogens. The barriers to food safety practices revealed inadequate provision of equipment and irregular water supply. Findings of this study have implication for stakeholders involved in the management of SHS. Administrators of SHSs must design and implement food hygiene training and sanitation programmes for food handlers in schools. Also, more stringent supervision during food preparation processes is recommended.
A safety and security audit of the Kakum National Park
Authors: Poku Getrude , Boakye Kwaku A. A.
Published: September 2021

Although Safety and Security (SnS) is a popular theme in the existing literature, the narrative has mostly focused on the broader destination and relatively, little is known of the SnS situation at the level of the individual components. This paper sought to appraise the safety and security situation at Ghana’s most visited attraction- the Kakum National Park, using a heuristic adaptation of the World Tourism Organization’s safety and security checklist. Through observations and interviews with management, an assessment of the safety and security situation at KNP was undertaken. It was found that even though safety and security measures at the park are generally inadequate, management does not consider the park to be under any real threat. The study also found that the Park management had a deliberative assessment of the security situation which reflected in three mindsets of collective security, passiveness and cautious security. The study recommends a change in philosophical outlook from passiveness to proactivity as an important first step towards making the KNP safer. Along with this philosophy, change would be the specific interventions in the areas of documentation, equipment and training.

Vitamin D and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in children
Authors: Kráľová Terezia , Pršo Marek , Čierny Daniel , Michnová Zuzana , Havlíčeková Zuzana , Kostková Martina
Published: September 2021

Background: Insulin resistance (IR) plays a key role in the pathogenesis of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Hypovitaminosis D is associated with several diseases, including hepatic steatosis and obesity. Vitamin D (VD) affects insulin secretion and improves tissue sensitivity to insulin, suggesting that hypovitaminosis D is also associated with IR. The leptin-to-adiponectin ratio (LAR) was investigated as a new marker of IR. Aim: The aim of our study was to determine the association between the VD status, NAFLD and IR in paediatric overweight or obese patients. Methods: The study ran from January 2018 to August 2020 and included 100 subjects. We measured their anthropometric parameters, determined their basic laboratory parameters and the level of leptin and adiponectin, calculated BMI, WHR, WHtR, LAR and HOMA-IR. We measured the degree of hepatic steatosis by obtaining the hepatorenal index (HRI) using ultrasonography, and used real-time elastography to determine the elasticity of the liver parenchyma (LFI). Subsequently, we compared the groups of patients with and without hepatic steatosis and looked for correlations in relation to the level of VD and IR. Results: 4.4% of patients had a severe VD deficiency, 55% of the children had hypovitaminosis D, 28.6% had VD insufficiency and 12% of patients had sufficient VD levels. Patients with significant hepatic steatosis (HRI 1.5 and more) had the lowest level of VD (16.61 ±5.62 μg/l, P = 0.015). The level of VD in patients with hepatic steatosis was inversely correlated with waist circumference, hip circumference, height, weight, triacylglycerols, GMT, C-peptide, insulin, HOMA-IR, HRI and LFI. Leptin levels were highest in patients with hepatic pre-steatosis. LAR was highest in the group with hepatic steatosis, but we did not observe significant correlations in relation to other parameters. Conclusion: VD levels are inversely associated with the degree of hepatic steatosis in overweight or obese paediatric patients. HOMA-IR inversely correlates with VD levels and positively with LFI. The LAR value was highest in the group of patients with steatosis, although we did not find out any significant correlations in relation to VD status and HRI. Key words: vitamin D – non-alcoholic fatty liver disease – insulin resistance – leptin – adiponectin – obesity – childhood

Authors: Piola Natalia Xavier
Published: September 2021

Ozônio é um gás constituído por três átomos de oxigênio, instável, incolor e que apresenta um cheiro característico quando submetido a descargas elétricas. Está contido em sua grande maioria na camada atmosfera, especificamente na estratosfera. Apresenta grande importância para o equilíbrio biológico da Terra pois, absorve os raios ultravioletas advindos do sol. Foi utilizado na época da Primeira Guerra Mundial no tratamento de gangrena gasosa que após o sucesso terapêutico foi instituído gradativamente o uso do tratamento de doenças com o ozônio medicinal. O trabalho em questão foi realizado com o intuito de identificar os mecanismos de ação e sua aplicação dentro da Medicina Veterinária com enfoque na área de pequenos animais apresentando estudos de casos e revisões bibliográficas dentro desta temática. Como resultados tivemos afirmado mediante a esses de que a utilização da ozonioterapia é útil no tratamento de diversas comorbidades, além de apresentar a vantagem de ser uma terapia coadjuvante de baixo custo e de fácil aplicação. A obtenção deste para fins medicinais é por meio de geradores elétricos usufruindo de oxigênio e ozônio puros. Trata-se de uma terapia complementar em ascensão levando em consideração o potencial desta em exercer atividades antimicrobiana, antiálgica, anti-inflamatória, imunorreguladoras, defesas antioxidantes e alterações epigenéticas. Devido alguns mecanismos de ação do ozônio ainda não serem devidamente esclarecidos, seja em forma local ou sistêmica, maiores estudos e aprofundamento dentro da área ainda se faz necessário. Na literatura iremos encontrar vários protocolos sobre o uso medicinal do ozônio. Entretanto, a concentração irá variar amplamente de acordo com cada autor.

Published: September 2021

Introdução: As fraturas da coluna vertebral são causas potenciais de injúrias da medula espinhal em pequenos animais. Frequentemente, o paciente com trauma toracolombar têm lesões associadas em outros órgãos. Objetivos: Objetivou-se relatar um caso de ruptura da bexiga urinária e fratura completa oblíqua na 5° vértebra lombar e descrever as técnicas cirúrgicas utilizadas. Materiais e métodos: Uma cadela, Shih Tzu, com 5 anos de idade, 5 kg, foi atendido com histórico de trauma há 4 horas pela queda de um botijão de gás cheio na região toracolombar. Paraparesia, disúria, hematúria e dor abdominal eram os sinais clínicos. Ao exame neurológico, a paciente demonstrou dor acentuada na região lombar e propriocepção ausente. O paciente foi submetido ao exame radiográfico da coluna vertebral o qual indicou fratura completa oblíqua na 5° vértebra lombar. Na ultrassonografia abdominal, constatou-se líquido livre na cavidade abdominal. Realizou-se uretrocistografia retrógrada de contraste positivo, confirmando-se a ruptura da vesícula urinária. Optou-se primariamente pela cistorrafia com fio absorvível monofilamentado, padrão contínuo, invaginante Cushing e em 2 planos. Instituiu-se o tratamento clínico para fratura vertebral que incluiu confinamento estrito, imobilização externa e controle da dor (dipirona 25mg/kg SID e tramadol 2 mg/kg SID). Após dois dias, realizou-se laminectomia e estabilização lombar. A fratura em L5 foi reduzida com auxílio de pinça ponta-ponta. Dois parafusos foram colocados tanto na vértebra cranial (L4) quanto caudal (L6) à fratura, com ângulo de 45° de inserção. O cimento ósseo Cimento Ortopédico Veterinário – C-VET foi colocado em torno dos implantes. Efetuou-se o desgaste do processo espinhoso das vértebras L4, L5 e L6. Resultados: No pós-operatório imediato, a paciente foi encaminhada para internação. Foi orientado repouso absoluto por 15 dias. No sétimo dia, o animal deambulava sem dor e urinava normalmente. Após 30 dias, a paciente não apresentava alterações clínicas neurológicas, recebendo alta. Uma intervenção terapêutica rápida limita a extensão da lesão neuronal, favorecendo a recuperação do paciente. Em cães com preservação da percepção de dor profunda, o prognóstico é favorável. Conclusão: Conclui-se que em casos com histórico conhecido de traumatismo vertebral deve-se avaliar o paciente quanto a lesões concorrentes para um resultado pós-cirúrgico satisfatório.

Published: September 2021

Introdução: A paralisia de laringe é caracterizada como uma condição na qual os músculos responsáveis pelo movimento de abdução e adução das cartilagens aritenóides se apresentam enfraquecidos. A paralisia de laringe pode ocorrer em qualquer raça ou idade, porem a maioria dos cães que desenvolvem a patologia geralmente são geriátricos de raças grandes ou braquicefálicos. Objetivo: Prover uma referência para médicos veterinários sobre a temática da paralisia de laringe. Materiais e métodos: Formar um compilado de informações obtidas através da análise de artigos e literaturas. Resultados: A paralisia de laringe pode ter origem idiopática, traumática, neoplásica, por doenças degenerativas dos nervos e músculos da laringe e de forma congênita, normalmente associada a cães das raças Husky Siberiano, Bull Terrier, Bouvier de Flandres, Dálmatas, Great Pirennes, Rottweillers Golden e Labrador Retriever. Os sinais clínicos são muitas vezes inespecíficos evidenciados por dificuldade respiratória, ruído estridor, disfonia, tosse, desmaio, cianose, dor, edema e inquietação, e geralmente ocorre durante a realização de esforços físicos em dias quentes e úmidos. Devido a obstrução da via respiratória o animal deve ser encaminhado o mais rápido possível para o atendimento de emergência. O principal exame diagnostico é realizado através de laringoscopia direta, entretanto caso necessário o medico veterinário pode solicitar exames laboratoriais, radiografia, ultrassonografia e fluoroscopia. O tratamento primário consiste em fornecimento de oxigênio, controle de temperatura, podendo ser necessário a realização de traqueostomia no paciente, enquanto que o tratamento definitivo consiste procedimentos cirúrgicos para reposicionamento e fixação das aritenóides. A prevenção consiste em evitar traumas e lesões na região da laringe decorrentes do uso de coleira/enforcador, brigas e quedas. O prognostico pode variar de favorável a reservado, dependendo da etiologia. Conclusão: A paralisia de laringe é uma doença que provoca obstrução da via aérea podendo levar a óbito. Sendo assim, um conhecimento adequado se torna fundamental para possibilitar o tratamento e melhora do animal.

Introdução: O linfoma é uma neoplasia originária da proliferação clonal de linfócitos malignos frequentemente diagnosticada em felinos, correspondendo a 90% das neoplasias hematopoiéticas nesses animais. São classificadas de acordo com formas anatômicas: multicêntrico, mediastinal, alimentar, cutâneo e de tecidos extranodais (nasal, renal e sistema nervoso). Sendo o linfoma alimentar a forma mais diagnosticada em gatos e que possui crescente incidência nos últimos anos, tornando essencial que o clínico veterinário tenha conhecimento sobre os aspectos diagnósticos em gatos acometidos por essa neoplasia. Objetivo: Descrever as alterações clínicas e laboratoriais encontrados em gatos acometidos por linfoma alimentar. Material e Métodos: A revisão de literatura foi desenvolvida a partir de pesquisas no Google Acadêmico no qual buscou-se diversos artigos atuais referentes ao tema abordado. Resultados: O linfoma alimentar felino não apresenta predileção sexual, raça ou idade, embora a maioria dos gatos acometidos sejam idosos, machos e portadores de doenças imunossupressoras. Essa patologia acomete principalmente o trato gastrointestinal, linfonodos regionais, fígado e baço e se manifesta de duas formas: linfocítico (células pequenas e bem diferenciadas) e linfoblástico (células grandes e pouco diferenciadas), sendo o linfoma linfoblástico a forma mais agressiva. O diagnóstico consiste nos achados clínicos e na realização de exames citológicos e histopatológicos, ultrassonográficos e laboratoriais como o hemograma, a bioquímica e os testes sorológicos para a imunodeficiência felina e a leucemia felina. As principais alterações clínicas consistem na perda de peso, anorexia, êmese, diarreia e desconforto abdominal. As alterações laboratoriais incluem: anemia normocítica normocrômica não regenerativa, leucocitose com aumento de neutrófilos bastonetes, hipercalcemia, hipoalbuminemia e hipoproteinemia e são decorrentes do comprometimento da médula óssea pela neoplasia ou pela destruição celular ou pelo sequestro esplênico. Sendo o prognóstico dependente da resposta inicial à quimioterapia e da ocorrência de remissão. Conclusão: O linfoma alimentar é uma doença frequentemente diagnosticada na medicina felina e que pode levar a uma diminuição na sobrevida desses animais, o que ressalta a importância da determinação do diagnóstico precoce através da identificação dos sinais clínicos iniciais da doença bem como a realização de exames laboratoriais para se fechar um diagnóstico correto, e também para a avaliação do prognóstico.
COMPLEXO GRANULOMA EOSINOFÍLICO FELINO: RELATO DE CASO
Authors: Cardoso Bárbara Ellen , Souza Samir Ribeiro De
Published: September 2021

Introdução: O Complexo Granuloma Eosinofílico Felino (CGEF) é definido como um conjunto de lesões que afetam a pele e cavidade oral de felinos domésticos, podendo apresentar três diferentes manifestações, classificadas como Placa Eosinofílica (PE), Granuloma Eosinofílico Linear (GEL) e Úlcera Eosinofílica (UE). Os animais podem expor as três aparições de maneira simultânea, sendo sua ocorrência mais comum em animais jovens. Sua etiologia ainda não se encontra totalmente esclarecida, o que acarreta erros ao diagnóstico, e, consequentemente, demora na resolução do caso. Essa afecção dermatológica pode ser decorrente de diversas causas, como hipersensibilidade alimentar, predisposição genética, atopia e dermatites secundárias decorrentes de picada de pulgas e mosquitos, o que tornam os exames complementares imprescindíveis para uma adoção apropriada do tratamento, sendo os glicocorticóides os fármacos mais utilizados. Objetivos: Esse presente relato tem como objetivo apresentar um caso de um granuloma eosinofílico felino. Material e Métodos: um animal da raça persa, fêmea, com 5 anos de idade, que adentrou o consultório com uma lesão em região de pescoço, apresentando alopecia e muito prurido, ao qual teve seu diagnóstico concluído à base de exames laboratoriais, cultura, antibiograma e biópsia. Resultados: Mediante os resultados, optou-se por estipular um tratamento paliativo, com base na literatura, voltado para a escolha de um imunossupressor. Dessa forma, a conduta adotada foi o uso da prednisona, na dose 2 mg/kg, por via oral, e, em conjunto, o tratamento tópico com dipropionato de betametasona com sulfato de gentamicina, tendo como resultado uma resposta significativa, com a eliminação do prurido e o retorno crescente dos pelos da região. Conclusão: Até o momento não houve recidiva.

Introdução: A urolitíase é uma das principais causas de formações de cálculos no trato urinário dos animais domésticos e refere-se ao fato de haver cálculos ou urólitos nos rins, ureter, bexiga ou uretra. Objetivo: Este trabalho tem como objetivo relatar o caso de uma cadela com urólitos na vesícula urinária, que foi submetida à uma cistotomia com evolução para ruptura de bexiga. Materiais e métodos: Uma cadela da raça Poodle micro, 11 anos, 9 kg foi atendida em um hospital veterinário em Teresina- PI. A tutora relatou que o animal apresentava dificuldade de urinar e em gotejamento. O animal foi submetido a uma ultrassonografia na qual apresentou cistite e presença de litíase na vesícula urinária. Diante dos achados, foi solicitado a realização de hemograma, bioquímico, ecocardiograma e eletrocardiograma pré-cirúrgicos. Resultados: No hemograma observou-se presença de policitemia, linfopenia e monocitopenia absoluta; Bioquímico, eletrocardiograma e ecocardiograma sem alterações significativas. Diante disso, foi indicado uma cistotomia, mas o proprietário só retornou com o animal após 10 dias. Durante o transoperatório foram encontrados 2 cálculos: cerca de 2,26cm e 2,01cm cada, com superfície lisa e aspecto geométrico sugestivo de urólito de estruvita. Após 4 dias do procedimento cirúrgico, a cadela voltou ao hospital com aumento de volume na região abdominal por presença de líquido livre observado em ultrassonografia. Foi então realizado a punção para análise de líquido abdominal e creatinina, além do bioquímico sérico para diagnóstico. Na análise de líquido obteve-se como resultado: infiltrado inflamatório intenso, com predominância de neutrófilos íntegros e degenerados, macrófagos e hemácias, creatinina do fluido 16,8mg/dL; e no bioquímico observou-se creatinina 5,5 mg/dL. Diante desses resultados, foi perceptível que a concentração de creatinina do fluido era maior que a sérica, dessa maneira sendo sugestivo de uroperitônio. Com isso, o animal foi submetido a uma cistorrafia e lavagem da cavidade abdominal com boa recuperação. Conclusão: A urolitíase pode evoluir para uma ruptura de bexiga, devido a inflamação da parede ocasionada pelo cálculo, deixando-a com o aspecto friável. Assim, é necessário a retirada dos cálculos de diâmetro consideráveis com urgência, evitando sua evolução para ruptura vesical.
