A ressecção completa é um elemento crucial no tratamento cirúrgico do câncer de intestino, desempenhando um papel essencial na redução das taxas de recorrência e na melhoria da sobrevida dos pacientes. Esta revisão aborda a importância desse princípio em uma visão geral, destacando a relevância das margens cirúrgicas livres de envolvimento neoplásico. Nesta análise, foram utilizadas palavras-chave específicas, incluindo "Ressecção Completa", "Câncer de Intestino", "Margem Cirúrgica", "Oncologia", "Estudos Clínicos" e "Tratamento Cirúrgico", para realizar buscas em bases de dados médicas e científicas, como PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, MEDLINE e Embase. Os artigos selecionados foram avaliados por sua relevância e contribuição para a compreensão da importância da ressecção completa no tratamento do câncer de intestino. Os resultados obtidos a partir da revisão destacam a relevância crítica da ressecção completa em pacientes com câncer de intestino, pois a obtenção de margens cirúrgicas livres de envolvimento neoplásico está diretamente associada a melhores desfechos clínicos, incluindo a redução de recorrências locais e a melhoria da sobrevida. A análise abrange também outras áreas da oncologia cirúrgica, incluindo o tratamento do melanoma, adenocarcinoma de bulbo duodenal e síndrome de Zollinger-Ellison, demonstrando a universalidade desse princípio. Em síntese, a ressecção completa é um princípio fundamental na oncologia cirúrgica, essencial para garantir resultados clínicos positivos. A precisão na cirurgia, aliada a técnicas cirúrgicas avançadas, é crucial para prevenir recorrências, complicações pós-operatórias e para melhorar a qualidade de vida dos pacientes. Este princípio se estende a diversas áreas da cirurgia oncológica, fornecendo uma base sólida para o tratamento eficaz do câncer e um melhor atendimento às necessidades dos pacientes.
Eutanásia e a autonomia de vontade: o direito de escolha do paciente
Authors: Santos Starley Alexsander de Almeida , Fernandes Izabela Alves Drumond
Published: December 2023

A Eutanásia consiste na ação ou omissão de um terceiro que põe fim a vida de outrem compelido pela intenção de aliviar o sofrimento do doente. Atualmente, o Brasil permanece omisso considerando a Eutanásia como homicídio privilegiado frente ao Código Penal. O presente artigo objetiva analisar a (im)possibilidade da Eutanásia em face dos princípios da bioética, diferenciando a eutanásia, distanásia e ortotanásia bem como o direito de escolha do paciente em ter uma morte digna. Metodologicamente, o trabalho seguirá o método dedutivo, pesquisa bibliográfica e analise jurisprudência. A pesquisa versa sobre o direito a morte digna, fundamentada na dignidade humana e a possibilidade da Eutanásia face a autonomia de vontade de pacientes terminais, destacando a Resolução nº. 1995/2012 do CFM no qual estabelece que a vontade do paciente deverá prevalecer desde que não vá em desacordo com o Código de Ética, lado outro, observa-se que há um projeto de Lei ao Código Penal que permitiria a eutanásia de pacientes que assim desejassem, concedendo-lhes o direito a morrer, desde que haja situação extrema onde não há possibilidade de cura ou que o paciente fique com graves sequelas. Nesse sentido, a eutanásia seria o caminho mais viável a seguir, diferentemente dos outros recursos para manterem a pessoa viva, que, muitas vezes, não são o mais digno devido às formas de tratamento. Essa pratica não deveria ser considerada como a violação ao direito à vida, mas sim, como o direito à morte, uma vez que a eutanásia visa cessar o sofrimento, garantindo ao indivíduo o direito de morrer com dignidade.

Published: December 2023

Background and Purpose: Plasmodium falciparum and P. vivax are responsible for most malaria cases in humans in the African Region and the Americas; these parasites have developed resistance to classic antimalarial drugs. On the other hand, previous investigations of the alkyl-linked bis tetrahydro-(2H)-1,3,5-thiadiazine-2-thione (bis-THTT) derivatives compounds show satisfactory results against protozoan parasites such as Trypanosoma cruzi, Trypanosoma vaginalis, Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense and Leishmania donovani. Therefore, it is possible to see some effect of bis-THTT derivatives on other protozoan parasites, such as Plasmodium. Experimental Approach: This study aimed to perform an in vivo biological evaluation of bis-THTT (JH1 to JH6) derivatives compounds as possible anti-malaria drugs in BALB/c mice infected with Plasmodium berghei ANKA and Plasmodium yoelii 17XL strains. In this work, we evaluated the compounds as potential antimalarial drugs in BALB/c mice infected with Plasmodium strains. Key Results: For each compound, we assess the percentages of parasitemia by smears from tail blood and the humoral response by indirect ELISA test using each compound as an antigen. We also evaluated the B lymphocyte response and the cytotoxicity of the bis-THTT derivatives compounds with MTT cell proliferation assays. Conclusions: Our results show that the bis-THTT derivatives JH2 and JH4 presented effective parasitemia control in mice infected with P. berghei; JH5 and JH6 compounds have similar infection control results as chloroquine in mice infected P. yoelii strain. The evaluation of bis-THTT derivatives compounds in a model of BALB/c mice infected with P. berghei and P. yoelii allowed us to conclude that some of them have an antimalarial effect; however, none of the tested compounds exceeded the efficiency of chloroquine.

Authors: Tulus Pujo Nugroho
Published: December 2023

This aim is to investigate the impact of Intellectual Capital on Company Value by considering the Profitability factor as a moderator variable in Hospitality Sub-Sector Companies during the 2012-2016 period. The independent variables in this study were measured using VAICTM which was approximated by Value Added Capital Employed (VACA), Value Added Human Capital (VAHU), and Structural Capital Value Added (STVA). The dependent variable in this research is Company Value which is measured through PBV, while the moderating variable is Profitability which is measured by Return On Assets (ROA). Data analysis was carried out using Multiple Regression and Moderating Regression Analysis (MRA) techniques using the SPSS for Windows 16.0 program. The results of this research reveal that (1) Intellectual Capital (VAICTM) does not have a significant negative impact on Company Value (PBV). From the t test results, VACA has no partial and insignificant positive effect on PBV. VAHU does not have a partial and significant negative effect on PBV. STVA has no partial and insignificant positive effect on PBV. (2) Return on Assets (ROA) has a negative effect in moderating the relationship between Intellectual Capital and Company Value
Karâfî’nin, Ebû Hanîfe’ye Atfettiği Bazı Muhalif Görüşlerin Değerlendirmesi: Ez-Zahîre Adlı Eserin Tahâret Bölümü Örneği
Authors: Dalma İdris
Published: December 2023

Bu çalışmada tahâret bahsi özelinde Mâlikî fakihlerinden Karâfi’nin ez-Zahîre adlı eserinde Ebû Hanîfe adına muhalif diye atfettiği bazı görüşler tespit edilmiştir. Tespit edilen görüşlerin Hanefi kaynaklarında karşılaştırması yapılmış ve böylece nakledilen görüşlerin Ebû Hanîfe’ye nispeti teyit edilmiş ya da bu görüşün yanlış olduğu vurgulanmıştır. Burada ele alınan görüşler lafız ve mana açısından değerlendirmeye tabi tutulmuştur. Bu bağlamda güneşte ısınan suyun hükmi temizlikte kullanılması hususuyla ilgili tartışmalar kayda değerdir. Mevzubahis özellikleri taşıyan suyun kullanımını mekruh sayan Karâfi, Ebû Hanîfe’nin farklı görüşte olduğunu belirtmiş ve konuyla ilgili mezhep görüşünü İmam Malik’in, Hz. Aişe’den nakledilen hadislere dayandırdığını kaydetmiştir. Ancak söz konusu mesele hakkında Ebû Hanîfe’nin görüşünün tam olarak ne olduğu ifade edilmemiştir. Ayrıca bu kapsamda sadece muhalif diye aktarılan görüşün dayanakları belirtilmemiştir. Nitekim Hanefî kaynaklarında Ebû Hanîfe’nin güneşte ısınan suyla ilgili görüşünün atıfta belirtildiği gibi olmadığı anlaşılmaktadır. İşte bu makalede taharet bahsi esas alınarak Karâfi’nin, Ebû Hanîfe’ye nispet ettiği görüşler, Hanefi kaynaklar üzerinde tespit edildikten sonra her iki mezhebe ait görüşler mukayese edilecek ve böylece Karâfi’nin Ebû Hanife’ye yönelik tutumu ortaya konulacaktır.
The Effect of Particle Monodispersity in HPLC Column Performance
Authors: Butchart Ken , Woodruff Mark
Published: December 2023

Many developments in silica particles used in liquid chromatography have been well documented over the years. The move from irregular silica to spherical silica, the decrease in particle size from >5µm particle in HPLC to sub-2-µm particle size in UHPLC, the improved silica purity of type B silica over that of type A silica, and more recently the adoption of superficially porous particles versus traditional fully porous particles. One area of development that has been discussed less and is still open to debate is the particle size distribution (PSD) of these chromatographic materials. In this article, we discuss the move towards improved monodispersity of silica particles for use in high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and how the use of monodisperse particles can impact the resulting chromatographic parameters such as reduced plate height and column impedance. On a practical level we review how the reduction of PSD impacts efficiency, backpressure and sensitivity.
Effect of Ethanol Extract of Physalis angulata Roots on Some Liver Marker Enzymes in Male Wistar Albino Rats
Authors: Nwankwo Anita U. , Oluka Promise O.
Published: December 2023

While medicinal plants have garnered significant attention for their potential therapeutic applications in human diseases, the growing reliance on these plants in traditional medicine has raised concerns regarding their safety. This study seeks to evaluate the impact of the ethanol extract of Physalis angulata root on liver marker enzymes as a means of assessing its implications for liver health. Additionally, we present findings on the phytochemical composition and acute toxicity profile of the extract. Phytochemical screening confirmed the presence of alkaloids, glycosides, terpenoids, flavonoids, saponins, reducing sugars, and carbohydrates in the extract. The median lethal dose (LD50) was determined to be 316.23 mg/kg of body weight. Our data revealed statistically significant increases (p≤0.05) in the levels of aspartate amino transferase (AST) and total bilirubin in comparison to the untreated control group. Notably, a significant reduction (p≤0.05) in alanine amino transferase (ALT) levels was observed at a dose of 100 mg/kg body weight of the extract, while higher doses yielded an increase relative to the untreated control. There was also a significant increase (p≤0.05) in the level of total protein in groups treated with 100 mg/kg and 200 mg/kg of the extract, and no significant difference (p≤0.05) in the group treated with 200 mg/kg of the extract relative to the untreated control group. There was no significant difference (p≤0.05) observed in the levels of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and albumin. In summary, our results indicate that the ethanol extract of Physalis angulata root exhibits dose-dependent toxicity, underscoring the importance of regulating the use of this plant in traditional medicine practices.
Age at initial diagnosis of autism spectrum disorders: a retrospective comparison of screening techniques between the southern and northwestern regions of Switzerland
Authors: Sommer Michael , Glaser Bronwyn , Soldini Emiliano , Weber Peter , Ramelli Gian Paolo
Published: December 2023

AIMS: Early diagnosis of autism spectrum disorders (ASD) offers the possibility of early intervention and, in turn, gains in adaptive behaviour, language and cognition. The aim of the present study was to analyse whether age at diagnosis of autism spectrum disorders decreased in two regions of Switzerland from 2006 to 2016 following the implementation of different screening and referral techniques. In southern Switzerland, systematic paediatric screening using the Modified Checklist for Autism (M-CHAT) in toddlers was implemented in 2013, whereas in northwestern Switzerland, periodic trainings were used to increase paediatrician awareness of ASD. We investigated which method was associated with a younger average age at diagnosis.
METHODS: We conducted a retrospective, two-centre study searching clinical records of children and adolescents (aged 0–16 years) diagnosed with ASD in two neuropaediatric departments at Swiss hospitals between January 2006 and December 2016. All patients were diagnosed via a standardised evaluation based on two approved diagnostic tests: the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule–Second Edition (ADOS-2) and the Autism Diagnostic Interview–Revised (ADI-R).
RESULTS: In southern Switzerland, training and subsequent widespread use of the M-CHAT among paediatricians appeared to contribute to a significantly younger age at diagnosis. Age at diagnosis did not significantly decrease during the same period in northwestern Switzerland.
CONCLUSION: Our results point to the possibility of successfully reducing age at diagnosis in specific geographic areas through the implementation of screening questionnaires, such as the M-CHAT, at year 2 well-baby visits.
An Investigative Survey on Technological Risks in Software Projects
Authors: Dantas Emanuel , Sousa Ademar , Albuquerque Danyllo , Lima Luís Henrique
Published: December 2023

A project risk is an uncertain event or condition that, if achieved, affects at least one of the project’s objectives. Technological risks have different characteristics from ordinary risks. These risks are typically more uncertain and subjective. Unfortunately, the literature is scarce regarding the presentation of technological risks. To fill this gap, we conducted a Survey with specialists in the field to assess the main risks and their impacts on software projects. As a result, three risks were cited by more than 70% of experts:“Failed to perform asynchronous tasks”, “Integration with plugins failed”, and “Loss of connection in HTTP request”. Our study presents an emerging study, as future work a case study is planned to collect more information from the industry.

Building a Big Data Platform Using Software without Licence Costs
Authors: Vassilev Vassil , Sowinski-Mydlarz Viktor , Gasiorowski Pawel , Radu Sorin , Nakarmi Sabin , Hristev Martin , Baghaeishiva Reza , Bali Tarun
Published: December 2023

This chapter presents the experience in developing and utilizing Big Data platforms using software without license costs, acquired while working on several projects at two research institutions – the Cyber Security Research Centre of London Metropolitan University in the United Kingdom and the GATE Institute of Sofia University in Bulgaria. Unlike the universal computational infrastructures available from large cloud service providers such as Amazon, Google, Microsoft and others, which provide only a wide range of universal tools, we implemented a more specialized solution for Big Data processing on a private cloud, tailored to the needs of academic institutions, public organizations and smaller enterprises which cannot afford high running costs, or do significant in-house development. Since most of the currently available commercial platforms for Big Data are based on open-source software, such a solution is fully compatible with enterprise solutions from leading vendors like Cloudera, HP, IBM, Oracle and others. Although such an approach may be considered less reliable due to the limited support, it also has many advantages, making it attractive for small institutions with limited budgets, research institutions working on innovative solutions and software houses developing new platforms and applications. It can be implemented entirely on the premises, avoiding cloud service costs and can be tailored to meet the specific needs of the organizations. At the same time, it retains the opportunity for scaling up and migrating the developed solutions as the situations evolve.

Authors:   College of Engineering Guindy/Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering, Chennai-600 025, India, R. Priyadharshini , G. Geetha
Published: December 2023

The broadband access networks require suitable differential modulation techniques that can provide better performance in real-time fading channels. A heterogeneous optical access network adopting spectrally efficient DAPSK – Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple (OFDMA) - Passive Optical Network (PON) is proposed and simulated. The performance of the proposed heterogeneous network is analyzed in terms of received Bit Error Rate (BER) and spectral efficiency. The results show that 64 DAPSK – OFDMA over the proposed architecture achieves a better spectral efficiency of about 1.062 bps/Hz than 64 QAM – OFDMA with less degradation in error performance.
Understanding Ramsey-de Finetti Probabilities and the St. Petersburg Paradox
Authors: Lahiri Somdeb
Published: December 2023

We provide simple interpretations of probability with a view towards its potential for real world (i.e., practical) applications. Our discussion is along the lines initiated by David Ramsey and Bruno de Finetti, though we do not provide a theory of probability but merely use their axioms and results to interpret mathematical probability. Subsequently, we provide a critique as well as a resolution of the well-known St. Petersburg paradox that is consistent with expected utility theory.
Microfinancing and Microeconomics: Influence on Individual Lives
Authors: Samuel Bensson
Published: December 2023

There is a growing concern over the need to ensure equity in the access to resources to promote economic development and well-being. However, scarcity of resources makes it difficult to produce or access products and services that satisfy individual needs. This paper identifies microfinancing and microeconomics as crucial drivers of effective resource allocation and distribution because they help individuals navigate economic challenges. In this regard, microfinancing ensures small businesses and poor entrepreneurs get credit and saving products by removing collateral restrictions. The loans match their business goals and visions. Microeconomics entails improving the production, distribution, and consumption of goods and services among the building blocks of the economy-wide phenomena – individuals or households and businesses. Through a review of various literature, this paper identifies four influences of microfinancing and microeconomics. First, they help individuals break from poverty by improving their access to basic needs. Second, microfinancing and microeconomics create the possibility of income streams by promoting financial inclusion. Third, the strategies encourage innovation by allowing individuals to establish businesses that solve their socio-economic challenges. Last, they cultivate entrepreneurship by providing simple, time-saving startup capital and other credit and saving products. The paper seeks to serve as a point exploring the role of microfinancing and microeconomics in the economic development of nations.
God and the Numbers
Authors: Studtmann Paul ,   Journal of Philosophy Inc.
Published: December 2023

According to Augustine, abstract objects are ideas in the mind of God. Because numbers are a type of abstract object, it would follow that numbers are ideas in the mind of God. Call such a view the “Augustinian View of Numbers” (AVN). In this paper, I present a formal theory for AVN. The theory stems from the symmetry conception of God as it appears in Studtmann (2021). I show that the theory in Studtmann’s paper can interpret the axioms of Peano Arithmetic minus the induction schema. This fact allows for the development of arithmetic in a natural way. The development eventuates in a theory that can interpret second-order arithmetic. The conception of God that emerges by the end of the discussion is a conception of an infinite, ineffable, self-cause that contains objects that not only serve as numbers but also encode information about each other.
Effect of Mycotoxins on Reproduction and Milk Quality of Dairy Cattle and its Amelioration by Natural Adaptogen “Betulin”
Authors: Gnezdilova Larisa , Fedotov Sergey , Muradyan Zhora , Rozinsky Serafim , Reddy Gade Regan
Published: December 2023

The purpose of this study was to ascertain the effect of mycotoxins on the reproduction and milk quality and its amelioration by “Betulin” in lactating Holsteinized Russian Black Pied cows divided into 2 complexes which were further split into 2 groups. On general clinical examination of the reproductive tract, it was observed that the high milk yielding cows have low rates (82.14 ± 1.59%) of productive offspring in the extensive method, while it was higher (85.12 ± 2.31%) in the intensive method of rearing. During the experiment, mycotoxin contamination was observed in the feed, especially for Zearalenone (ZEN), the concentration of which was 9.5% in corn silage and 8.9% in concentrate feed. In cows, the presence of ZEN or Fusarium toxin contributed significantly to infertility and decreased milk production (8523.9±112.5 vs 7153.8±99.7 kg). However, lactating cows showed tolerance to mycotoxins, as evidenced by insignificant changes in the indicators of milk quality in subject animals. Further, the use of the natural adaptogen “Betulin” added to an increase in milk yield and an improvement in the quality and sanitary parameters of milk.
Budget deficit and money holding when consumers live forever in an endogenous growth model
Authors: Tanaka Yasuhito
Published: December 2023

In this paper I will show that budget deficit (or fiscal deficit) is necessary to achieve full employment under constant prices or inflation, using a model of endogenous growth in which consumers hold money for the reason of liquidity and live forever. Budget deficit need not be offset by future budget surpluses. I consider the continuous time case by taking the limit of the discrete time case when the time interval approaches zero. A continuous time dynamic model seems to be more general than a discrete time model. When the actual budget deficit is greater (smaller) than the value which is necessary and sufficient for full employment under constant prices, an inflation (a recession) occurs. The main argument of this paper is that a growing economy requires the continuation of budget deficit, and that we should not think of paying off the resulting government debt with taxes.

Besser als die Kulturflatrate wäre eine Infrastruktur-Pauschalabgabe
Authors: Braun Ilja
Published: December 2023

Wovon sollen Kreative leben? Statt nach einem verschärften Urheberrecht sollte man nach der Einkommensverteilung auf kulturellen Märkten fragen. Doch eine Kulturflatrate setzt am falschen Ende an. Wer das geltende Steuerrecht für ungerecht und reformbedürftig hält, wird selten gefragt, ob er denn Steuern insgesamt abschaffen wolle und wie das Gemeinwesen sich dann finanzieren solle.

Authors: Đuričin Aleksandar , Jokšić-Mazinjanin Radojka , Medved Tatjana , Odavić Milica , Marić Nikolina
Published: December 2023

INTRODUCTION: The most common cardiovascular complications during COVID-19 disease are pulmonary thromboembolism. AIM: The importance of early recognition of pulmonary embolism and initiation of adequate therapeutic procedures in prehospital conditions in a patient with confirmed coronavirus infection has been shown. Methodology: Case report based on medical records. CASE REPORT: The ambulance team intervened in a coronavirus-positive patient due to sudden problems in the form of dyspnea and cyanosis in the neck area. During the examination, the patient is conscious, oriented, has difficulty pronouncing words, has pale and sweaty facial skin, cyanosis of the chest, neck and fingers without peripheral oedema, he is dyspnoic with shallow breaths, SpO2 51%, tachycardia (pulse 135/min.), and is normotensive (TA: 120/60 mm Hg). According to clinical condition of the patient, it is suspected that it is a pulmonary embolism. The patient was placed on non-invasive mechanical ventilation in CPAP mode (PEEP 5, FiO2, 100% O2), accompanied by the opening of a venous line and the administration of a Heparin 5000 i.j. intravenous bolus. The oxygen flow was 15 L/min during the ambulance transport. The patient was continuously monitored for ECG, blood pressure, pulse, and SpO2. He was urgently transferred to the Covid Hospital in Mišeluk to the Intensive Care Unit, where a pulmonary embolism was confirmed and therapy was continued. On the fifth day of hospitalisation, a fatal outcome occurs. CONCLUSION: The anamnestic data on COVID-19 disease and the typical clinical picture facilitated the diagnosis of pulmonary embolism in prehospital conditions.
Analysis of the liquidity dynamics of the banking sector in Serbia based on the TOPSIS method
Authors: Lukić Radojko
Published: December 2023

The problem of analyzing the liquidity of the banking sector is very challenging, significant, continuously updated and complex. Based on that, this paper analyzes the liquidity of the banking sector based on the TOPSIS method. The results of the TOPSIS method show that the top five years in terms of liquidity of the banking sector in Serbia in the observed time period 2008 - 2022 are in the following order: 2013, 2020, 2014, 2019 and 2015. The worst liquidity was recorded in 2010. It can be safely said that recently the liquidity of the banking sector in Serbia has slightly increased. This was positively influenced by numerous macro and micro factors (economic climate, interest rate, inflation, exchange rate, economic activity, asset and liability management, net working capital management, risk management and others).
International trade as a factor of improving agricultural production: A comparative overview of the former Yugoslavia
Authors: Dokić Dragan
Published: December 2023

The modern conditions under which business entities operate are becoming more and more complex and therefore differ to a large extent from the previous period. What is common to the past and recent times is that agricultural producers market the produced goods. The aim of the work is to point out the importance of trade aspects and show how they contribute to the social community. Given that trade enables the exchange of goods and thus contributes to goods being widely available, the example of the produced amount of agricultural products of vegetable and animal origin for the countries of the former Yugoslavia will show to what extent trade exchange affects economic indicators of success. International trade flows have a special importance for the national economy and the global level. No country can base its economic growth on its own resources, and therefore, through international trade exchange, it continuously strives to reflect the growing trend of macroeconomic variables. Through the analytical model, the total value of agricultural production in the period from 2018 to 2020 will be reviewed, and through imports and exports, the value of commodity exchange between the countries of the former Yugoslavia will be shown. Through these data, using the gravity model, it will be shown how the overall geographical environment and the distance between countries affect the process of commodity exchange.
