High Gain DC-DC Converter Integrating Dickson Charge Pump with Coupled Inductor Technique
Authors: P. Nithin and Dr. R. Rajeswari
Published: September 2021

In this paper, a novel high voltage gain DC-DC converter based on coupled inductor and voltage multiplier
technique is proposed. The benefits of the proposed converter are ultra-high voltage gain, low voltage stress across
the power switch and very low input current ripple by employing a low current ripple structure (LCR) at the input
side. A low on state resistance (RDS(on)) of the power switch can be employed since the voltage stress is a maximum of
25% of the output voltage and the conduction losses of the switch is also reduced. Design of a 1.9kW, 48V at the low
voltage side and 430V at the high voltage side is done and verified by simulation. Simulation results show an
efficiency of over 93% when operating in continuous conduction mode (CCM).

Authors: Taube Eliane Holzlechner
Published: September 2021

A presente pesquisa tem como objetivo descobrir e identificar a importância da mediação e da afetividade de um professor no processo de ensino de alunos com TDAH. Caracterizando que este processo pode auxiliar no processo de aprendizagem, na intervenção e atendimento aos alunos que apresentam o referido transtorno, já que o transtorno de déficit de atenção/hiperatividade – TDAH traz uma grande falta de compreensão e efeito na rotina da escola e na vida das pessoas. Trata-se de uma pesquisa que foca no processo de mediação e afetividade, fundamentada por pensadores que entendem o desenvolvimento humano em uma dimensão sócio histórica. Observando que apesar da experiência dos docentes com os alunos com TDAH, ainda se peca na falta de reflexão e saberes que oportunizam de fato o ensino e aprendizagem do referido aluno. Evidenciando assim a real importância do professor afetivo como mediador, superando limites e dificuldades que os alunos passam.

Published: September 2021

ABO blood group antigens have been identified as pathological agent in different disease conditions. For some time, the association of blood group with pregnancy associated conditions like pre-eclampsia is extensively under debate. Preeclampsia is a distressing condition of pregnancy which commonly causes maternal and fetal mortality around the globe. Multiple risk factors are found to be associated with preeclamptic occurrence. In this study our aim was to delineate a specific blood group which could be implicated as a risk factor for pre-eclampsia. Methods: This retrospective study was conducted in a tertiary care hospital of Karachi and retrieved obstetric data including blood group was from medical record files of 368 patients. Obtained data was analyzed by IBM SPSS version 21. Results: The prevalence of B group was recorded to be 41.3% as compared to O (26.1%), A (22.8%) and AB (9.8%). So, it can be concluded that women having blood group B are more prone to develop pre-eclampsia. Conclusion: Blood grouping of pregnant women in early weeks of pregnancy could assist in prediction or better management of pre-eclampsia.

Authors: Potteiger Kelly , Potteiger Adam , Pitney William , Wright Paul
Published: September 2021

There is legislation in the United States designed to protect children and adolescents from the risks associated with concussion. The scope and reach of these laws vary greatly. Purpose: It is important that health care professionals are aware of the limitations of each law. Since 2009, every state in the nation and the District of Columbia passed legislation designed to protect student-athletes who suffer from concussions resulting from participation in sport. Method: Therefore, select components of state policies were identified including: 1) Affected entities, 2) Stipulations for concussion awareness/education, 3) Requirements for removal/return to play, and 4) Requirements for return to the classroom. Results: There is significant variance between the laws and not all children/adolescents are protected equally. Conclusion: Concussion policies are a minimum standard and, when available, best practices should be followed.

Authors: Pager Susan , Kuipers Pim , Bell Karen , Hall Fiona
Published: September 2021

Purpose: An evaluation of a large scale implementation of a peer group model of professional supervision was conducted to inform service planning and guide policy and practice. A descriptive overview of the findings is presented. Method: Allied health staff trained in peer group supervision were surveyed about their experience of the model, its challenges and benefits. Interviews were also conducted with senior managers. Results: Analysis of 248 responses indicated that 72% of trained staff had participated in peer group supervision, and that these peer groups had continued for an average of 17.2 months. The majority of groups adhered to the guidelines presented at training, and found the model easy to implement and adaptable to a range of professions, settings and needs. Reported benefits included skill development as well as increased support and confidence. Improved relationships and team culture were also described. Management support and attendance at training were considered important to successful implementation. Conclusions: The evaluation demonstrated that a model of peer group supervision can be successfully implemented with a diverse and geographically dispersed allied health workforce. This model allowed professional supervision needs to be met in a group setting without the requirement for an expert supervisor. A number of benefits for individual clinicians and their teams were identified, and the need for further evaluation, in the context of widespread health reform is noted.

Authors: Hawkins Susan , Laird John , Goreczny Anthony
Published: September 2021

Purpose: Physician Assistant (PA) programs using problem-based learning (PBL) and other self-directed learning pedagogies must inform applicants of the nature of this type of curriculum. The purpose of this study is to determine if the author-composed PBL Readiness Questionnaire can detect changes in applicant expectations of self, others, and facilitators following a one-hour PBL experience. Method: Applicants to a Physician Assistant program took part in a one-hour PBL experience as part of their admissions interview process and 729 completed the PBL Readiness Questionnaire before and after the experience. Results: Analysis of variance showed a significant increase in pre versus post total score (p = .000). Multivariate analysis of variance of pre versus post subscale scores of expectations of self, others, and facilitators was also significant (p = 0.000). Conclusions: The PBL Readiness Questionnaire significantly changed applicant expectations of self, others, and facilitators in the direction consistent with PBL pedagogy. PA programs using problem-based learning and/or other self-directed learning pedagogies could use this scale to detect changes in applicant expectations following admissions processes. Future studies could determine effectiveness of scores in predicting student outcomes. Keywords: problem-based learning, admissions, small group learning, pedagogy, case based learning
Utilizing Standardized Patient Feedback to Facilitate Professional Behavior in Physical Therapist Students: A Pilot Study
Authors: Riopel Mary Anne , Litwin Bini , Silberman Nicki , Fernandez-Fernandez Alicia
Published: September 2021

Purpose: Physical therapist (PT) students receive feedback on professional behavior performance from academic and clinical faculty members. Literature is lacking on the impact that verbal feedback from standardized patients (SPs) may have on physical therapist student learning of professional behaviors. The purpose of this pilot study was to examine the use of standardized patients’ feedback as a strategy for professional behavior development. Methods: A sample of convenience identified 13 doctoral physical therapist students prior to initiation of their first full-time clinical experience. Subjects were excluded if they had prior experiences with standardized patients or had completed a full-time clinical experience. Using a randomized control design, the experimental group (n=7) received standardized patient verbal feedback and written rubric assessment, whereas the comparison group (n=6) received written rubric assessment alone after completing standardized patient case scenarios. Outcome measures included the Modified Standardized Patient Satisfaction Questionnaire (MSPSQ), Professional Behaviors Assessment (PBA), and Professionalism Physical Therapy Core Values Assessment (PPTCVA). Results: Data analysis included pre and post intervention comparisons of Modified Standardized Patient Satisfaction Questionnaire rubric assessment scores, Professional Behaviors Assessment scores, and Professionalism Physical Therapy Core Values Assessment scores. No statistically significant differences were found on these outcome measures, although trends for changes in performance were noted. Conclusions: Limited research exists on the impact of standardized patients’ verbal feedback with the use of a standardized rubric on physical therapist student professional behavior. This pilot study did not provide significant evidence on the value of this educational strategy in development of professional behaviors in doctoral physical therapist students. Future research may be beneficial to examine differences in perceptions of professional behavior between standardized patients, students, and faculty.
Assessment of Medical Screening and Clinical Reasoning Skills by Physical Therapy Students in a Simulated Patient Encounter
Authors: Johnston Therese
Published: September 2021

Purpose: Physical therapists (PTs) screen their patients for medical issues that may present as musculoskeletal conditions. In physical therapy education, learning activities followed by assessment of skills and clinical reasoning is important. The purposes of this study are to 1) demonstrate the feasibility of the use of standardized patients (SPs) and standardized physicians (SPhs) during a practical examination focused on medical screening, and 2) report outcomes related to the students’ abilities to screen for medical issues and make clinical decisions about referral to a physician. Methods: Students evaluated a standardized patient in an outpatient setting model. After receiving a patient scenario, students chose and performed examination items to identify signs that did not fit with the presenting musculoskeletal complaint. Student performance was scored by the standardized patients based on minimum interview and examination items required. Students discussed the concerns with the standardized patient and stated why the physician needed to be contacted. Students then called the standardized physician to discuss concerns and provide a recommendation. Results: For the interview portion, 22.8 ± 18.9% of students chose all required interview questions and gathered needed information. Most students (75.5 ± 14%) missed 2 or fewer interview items. For the examination portion, 16.7 ± 16.3% chose all items and performed them correctly with 59.1 ± 16.3% missing 2 or fewer items. Students did well communicating with the standardized patient about calling the physician, with 87.0 ± 5.3% scoring 100%. Scores across the affective/communication components were strong (98.7 ± 1.7%). Students were clear when speaking with the physician and made appropriate recommendations based on data collected. Overall feedback from students was positive, but many wanted more time with the standardized patient. Conclusions: This practical examination allowed students to apply medical screening and differential diagnosis skills in a simulated outpatient encounter. Upon reviewing outcomes for history and examination items, the most challenging part appears to be clinical reasoning. Students had difficulty determining all questions to ask and which items to perform, which reflects that they are novice practitioners. This practical examination was designed to encourage reflection in action, as seen in experienced clinicians, in order to help students progress in their clinical reasoning abilities.

Authors: Noor Hina , Arif Manzoor
Published: September 2021

Purpose: The tool of speech or language assessment is required to be linguistically and culturally appropriate for the individual being tested. Testing in native language is essential if an audiologist or speech and language therapist wants to test the speech perception capacities of an individual and to use the data for further planning and monitoring of the therapeutic efforts. Numerous speech perception tests are available in different international and regional languages. But in Urdu language, no such tool is available to the clinicians to check the speech perception abilities of hearing impaired individuals. Therefore, this study was designed to: (1) estimating the frequency of occurrence of Urdu consonants; (2) developing a speech perception test in Urdu Language for children with hearing impairment; and (3) establishing the reliability and validity of the test. Methods: This study was carried out in three stages. In stage I, structural attributes of the test were planned. During stage II, firstly mean phonetic occurrence of each consonant in Urdu language was calculated. Secondly, a pool of most common image-able Urdu words was generated from which a 25 word-list for identification task was created. Finally, the speech perception test was finalized after establishing its content validity. In stage III, reliability and validity of the test was established through a pilot study conducted via randomly selected 100 normally hearing and 30 hearing impaired subjects. Results: The Urdu speech perception test is a non-verbal, norm referenced test. Content, predictive and construct validity was established. Split half reliability of the test was 0.798 and test-retest reliability was 0.881 which was found to be significant at α = 0.05 and α = 0.01 level of significance respectively. Inter-scorer reliability was 0.598 which was significant at α = 0.10 level. Conclusions: The Urdu speech perception test is a reliable, validated and linguistically appropriate non verbal tool to check the speech perception abilities of children with hearing impairment.

Authors: Walankar Prachita , Panhale Vrushali , Situt Sayli
Published: September 2021

Purpose: Educational environment has a significant impact on students' behavior, academic progress and quality of learning. The aim of this study was to evaluate the students’ perception of their learning environment in an Indian physiotherapy college and compare their perceptions in terms of demographic attributes and academic level. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 420 undergraduate physiotherapy students. The Dundee Ready Education Environment Measure (DREEM), a 50-item, self-administered inventory was employed to assess the student’s perception of learning environment. It comprises of five domains: students’ perceptions of learning; students’ perceptions of teachers; students’ academic self-perceptions; students’ perceptions of atmosphere and students’ social self-perceptions. Descriptive statistics, t-test and analysis of variance (ANOVA) were used to analyze data. P-value < 0.05 was considered as significant. Results: The mean DREEM score was 122.66 ± 17.39 reflecting a more of positive than negative educational environment in this institution. There was a significant difference in the overall DREEM score (p = 0.000) based on the year of study with highest mean score in first year (127.57 ± 13.81). Evaluating the sub-domains of perception, the students in all the years had a more positive perception of learning (29.22 ± 5.35), their perception of teachers moved in the right direction (26.52 ± 5.05), their academic self-perception was more on the positive side (21.23± 3.72), they had a more positive perception of atmosphere (28.56± 5.64) and their social self-perception could be graded as not too bad (17.13 ±3.08). No significant gender difference was noted for overall DREEM score and all domain scores. Conclusion: The present study revealed that all undergraduate physiotherapy students perceived their educational environment positively. However, some areas require remedial measures in order to enhance the educational experience. Advocating problem-based learning, student mentorship, counseling and workshops on teaching-learning for teachers might enable us to enrich our learning environment.

Tributação dos Depósitos Judiciais Realizados por Pessoas Jurídicas
Authors: Kraljevic Maria Carolina Maldonado Mendonça
Published: September 2021

Os depósitos judiciais geram diversos efeitos tributários cuja inobservância pode expor o depositante a contingências fiscais. Isso ocorre, por exemplo, quando a quantia depositada representa um acréscimo patrimonial para o beneficiário, hipótese em que, em regra, haverá a obrigatoriedade de o depositante reter e recolher o imposto de renda no momento em que o rendimento se torna disponível para o beneficiário. Além disso, os valores depositados são ativos do depositante, cujos juros correlatos devem por ele ser tributados. O momento de reconhecimento da receita de juros, entretanto, depende do regime de tributação do depositante. Por fim, os valores depositados em juízo, em geral, são classificados como passivos contingentes ou provisões, somente tornando-se despesa dedutível na apuração do IRPJ e da CSLL quando o respectivo montante é liberado definitivamente para a outra parte. A inexatidão quanto ao período de apuração do reconhecimento da receita de juros ou da dedutibilidade da despesa depositada, quando ensejar a postergação no pagamento do imposto ou a redução indevida do lucro real, impõe ao depositante a responsabilidade pela diferença de imposto com os consectários legais.
Tridimensionalidade do Fato Gerador e a Evolução dos Tipos Constitucionais de Competência Tributária frente aos Fenômenos da Economia Digital
Authors: Malpighi Caio Cezar Soares
Published: September 2021

Com uma visão tridimensional do Direito, este estudo pretende confirmar se a CF/1988 adotou uma estrutura tipológica ao normatizar a distribuição de competências tributárias entre os entes que compõem a federação, para permitir que cada ente tribute exclusivamente uma realidade econômica (renda, consumo, patrimônio etc.). Diante da evolução inerente à própria natureza da realidade suplantada na norma constitucional, verificar-se-á se a estrutura tipológica permite com que o aplicador do Direito atualize o sentido possível dos termos utilizados por determinada norma jurídica, conferindo-lhe certa elasticidade semântica, compassando a sua progressão em relação à evolução dos fatos, em função de determinados valores. A confirmação desta indagação será buscada tendo por objeto a estrutura das normas de competências que delimitam a tributação sobre o consumo, diante da nova realidade decorrente da economia digital. Neste cenário, após a fixação das premissas teóricas, serão analisados precedentes do STF, buscando confirmar se, neles, os sentidos possíveis de termos utilizados pelo legislador constitucional foram atualizados de acordo com a nova realidade econômica, visando dar efetividade aos valores jurídicos constitucionalmente protegidos na seara tributária.

Authors: Talpey Scott , Smyth Andrew , O'Grady Mathew , Morrison Matthew , Young Warren
Published: September 2021

Jumps occur frequently in basketball and can be executed from a single-leg take-off following a run-up or bilaterally from a standing start. Understanding the type of jumps performed in competition and how different muscular qualities influence their performance, informs training prescription. Firstly, to quantify the occurrence of different jump types performed in competition an analysis of 15 semi-professional basketball games was undertaken. Secondly, to understand the influence of muscular qualities on performance of different jump types, Semi-professional male basketball players (N=17) performed jump tests; standing vertical jump, running vertical jumps with a double leg take-off (RVJ2) and a single leg take-off (RVJ1) and tests of lower-body speed-strength; reactive strength index (RSI) from a drop jump, counter movement jump (CMJ) and squat jump.  A stationary approach was employed for 69%, a running approach for 26% and a one-step approach for 5%. RVJ1 displayed non-significant (P=0.07) moderate correlation with jump height attained from the CMJ (r=0.439) and a very large (r =.806) significant (P<0.01) correlation with RSI. Most jumps were executed from a stationary start with a bilateral take-off while a run-up occurred prior to a substantial proportion of jumps. Jumps with a single-leg take-off from a run-up strongly correlate with RSI.

Posição, posicionamento e estereótipo: um diálogo entre as perspectivas sociolinguística e discursiva
Authors: Castro Lopes Shara Lylian de
Published: September 2021

O conceito de identidade é um ponto de interesse comum nos estudos linguísticos tanto para o campo da Sociolinguística (principalmente pesquisas da terceira onda) quanto para a Análise do Discurso. A proposta principal do artigo é averiguar pontos de conexão entre as noções dos campos citados que dialoguem com o conceito de identidade. Para isso, apresento o resultado de uma pesquisa bibliográfica sobre estudos que tematizam a “identidade nordestina” a partir das duas perspectivas citadas. A base teórica dessa pesquisa considera sobretudo trabalhos de Sociolinguística Variacionista e de Análise do Discurso francesa. Os resultados apontam principalmente para uma confluência, embora não estável, dos termos das duas áreas, “posição” (stance) e “posicionamento”, bem como para usos comuns do termo “estereótipo”.

Authors: Silva Fernando Moreno da , Maia Jorge Sobral da Silva
Published: September 2021

Diante da pandemia provocada pelo novo coronavírus (Sars-CoV-2), causador da doença denominada Covid-19, o mundo assiste a um cenário assustador. Nesse contexto, a sociedade é bombardeada de novas expressões e termos. O objetivo deste trabalho é analisar a renovação lexical relacionada à pandemia por meio dos neologismos divulgados na mídia. O trabalho, de caráter documental-bibliográfico, foi realizado em duas etapas. Primeiro, consultando matérias jornalísticas das mídias tradicional e alternativa, divulgadas entre os meses de janeiro e abril de 2020, que trataram do novo coronavírus. Em seguida, após o levantamento, confirmando ou não, pelo critério lexicográfico, o caráter neológico das unidades mono e poliléxicas selecionadas. Para corpus de exclusão, foram adotados os seguintes dicionários: Michaelis (2015), Houaiss (2009), Aulete (2020), Aurélio (FERREIRA, 2010), VOLP (ABL, 2009). Ao final, foram listados 70 neologismos relacionados ao novo coronavírus, tendo como principais processos a formação sintagmática (31), o empréstimo lexical (11) e a analogia (10).
CConvergencia y divergencia de los repertorios antroponímicos brasileño y español
Authors: Fernández Juncal Carmen , Sipavicius Seide Márcia
Published: September 2021

Este trabajo indaga en los aspectos convergentes y divergentes de los repertorios antroponímicos español y brasileño. A partir de los datos generados por organismos estatales (INE e IBGE) y considerando los nombres más populares, se señala la evolución de ambos catálogos a lo largo de las uúltimas nueve décadas, desde una gran convergencia a una divergencia notable, en línea con las tendencias globales detectadas en otras sintopías. No obstante, las similitudes en general son muy destacadas, como corresponde a repertorios de lenguas muy próximas, cuyas trayectorias históricas y culturales se han desarrollado paralelamente.

Análise multissemiótica e ensino de língua portuguesa na educação básica: das teorias à proposição didática
Authors: Santos Fernanda Maria Almeida dos
Published: September 2021

Na sociedade contemporânea, a ampliação dos processos comunicativos, propiciada, sobretudo, pelo desenvolvimento das tecnologias digitais, requer professores preparados para trabalhar com o texto não apenas numa perspectiva linguística, mas também semiótica. No entanto, ainda é um desafio, para muitos docentes, promover a didatização dos conteúdos teóricos e desenvolver o ensino de Semiótica a partir de uma análise integrada das semioses em textos multimodais. Nesse sentido, o presente artigo – embasado na Teoria Semiótica de Peirce, bem como na Linguística Sistêmico-Funcional de Halliday e na Semiótica Social – objetiva apresentar um modelo didático para o trabalho com análise multissemiótica na educação básica. Argumenta-se, a partir de uma proposta elaborada com base nos fundamentos metodológicos da Pedagogia dos Multiletramentos (NLG, 1996; COPE; KALANTZIS, 2009) e nos postulados da Gramática do Design Visual (KRESS; VAN LEUWEEN, 2006 [1996]), que estratégias de aprendizagem desenvolvidas por meio da experimentação, conceitualização, análise e aplicação de conhecimentos relativos aos sistemas representacionais, interativos e composicionais podem contribuir para a compreensão global dos textos multimodais
que há de mais profundo no homem é a pele:
Authors: Braga Amanda
Published: September 2021

O artigo tem por objetivo promover um diálogo entre a estilística da (des)obediência de Frédéric Gros (2018) e a microfísica do poder de Michel Foucault (1979), compreendendo os modelos gerais de obediência e desobediência como manifestações em torno das quais se organizam poderes e resistências. A fim de demonstrar a produtividade dessa interseção, problematiza-se a emergência do acontecimento George Floyd e desenvolve-se uma análise discursiva de três enunciados produzidos em seu interior, no intuito de analisar as relações de poder que estão lá materializadas e mais particularmente os modelos de obediência e desobediência que nelas se inscrevem. Com isto, trabalha-se na desnaturalização das práticas de uma obediência cega e no fomento às práticas de resistência que se pautam no exercício crítico e ético dos sujeitos.
Startups: a systematic review of literature and future research directions
Authors: Silva Luciana Santos Costa Vieira da , Kaczam Fabíola , Dantas Anderson de Barros , Janguia Josenilde Mario
Published: September 2021

The objective of the research is to map the literature based on a Systematic Literature Review on the theme of startups and to highlight some theoretical gaps based on publications of high-reputation scientific journals. The period from 1990 to 2019 was defined for the elaboration of this study. We use the excel spreadsheet, in addition to the HistCite ™, VOSviewer, IRATUMEQ, and R Studio packages. The results show that the typology of the startups evaluated, after reading 68% of the articles, organizations are characterized as a group of new companies, that is, relatively young and inexperienced when compared to the most stable and mature in organizational development. They refer to those that are in the initial stage and are susceptible to the influence of various factors, such as investors, supplier customers, partners, etc., and should think strategically about how to act and, this concerns a group of dynamic startups that work with innovations.
Michael Chekhov’s Acting Technique
Authors: Rushe Sinéad
Published: September 2021

Intended for actors, directors, teachers and researchers, this book offers an exceptionally clear and thorough introduction to the renowned acting technique developed by Michael Chekhov. Sinéad Rushe’s book provides a complete overview of the whole method, and includes illuminating explanations of its principles, as well as a wide range of practical exercises that illustrate, step by step, how they can be applied to dramatic texts.

Part One provides an outline of the ideas that underpin the work, which help to prepare practitioners to become responsive and receptive, and to awaken their imagination. Part Two charts a journey through the foundational psychophysical exercises that can both orient an actor's training routine and be applied directly to the development of a role. Part Three focuses on more specific and elaborate methods of scene work, characterisation and the art of transformation.

Drawing on the full range of Chekhov's writing in English and French, this book also examines unpublished material from the Dartington Hall archives and features interviews with actors who have worked with the technique, including Simon Callow and Joanna Merlin. It illustrates Chekhov’s approach by referring to Rushe's own productions of Nikolai Gogol's short story Diary of a Madman and Shakespeare's Othello, as well as characters and scenes in Sarah Kane's Blasted and the contemporary American television series Breaking Bad.

Michael Chekhov’s Acting Technique is an accessible, comprehensive and contemporary point of reference for those already trained in the method, as well as an initiation and toolkit for practitioners who are just beginning to discover it.

Increase in carbon dioxide level is considered as a threat to all living organisms and in particular aquatic organisms are vulnerable. Although a number of studies were carried out to predict the effect of increased CO2 with marine organisms, fresh water fish were the least concerned ones. Therefore, the aim of this study was to study the effect of antioxidant enzymes in zebrafish exposed to acute concentration of CO2 (based on prediction for 2300). Three ranges of pH were selected below the range where no fatality was observed, 6.0 – 6.5, 5.5 – 6.0 and 5.0 – 5.5. Antioxidant enzyme analysis of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), lipid peroxidation (LP), glutathione reductase (GR) and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) was performed for the tissues, liver, gills and muscles. Although a significant decrease in SOD activity was observed in all three tissues, only a slight variation in CAT activity was found in all the tissues. MDA content which is an indicator of lipid peroxidation showed an increasing pattern in all the tissues. A slight increase in GR activity was found in all the tissues; however, a significant decrease in GPx activity was noted. Further, the histology of gills exposed to CO2 showed marked damage and injury including lamellar fusion and necrosis. Our study concludes that exposure to CO2 has led to oxidative stress which has resulted in cellular injury and damage
