Research Initiatives in Accounting Education: Research Relevance and Research Productivity
Authors: Moon Jared S. , Wood David A.
Published: June 2020

Research in accounting education has evolved to include, among other areas, research relevance, faculty research productivity, and the use of journal lists. These topics offer new areas for research, including investigating the benefits and risks of relevant/irrelevant research, how effectively faculty research is evaluated, the potential consequences of using journal lists, and much more. Although these areas have significant and wide-ranging effects on faculty, much more empirical data are needed to inform decision making. This paper highlights these issues and makes suggestions for additional research to help the academy make better decisions by using data-driven research findings.
Research Initiatives in Accounting Education: Developing and Utilizing Faculty
Authors: Boyle Douglas M. , Hermanson Dana R.
Published: June 2020

This essay addresses key needs for research in five areas related to developing and utilizing accounting faculty: faculty development (the backgrounds of who enters academia, how these individuals are trained in doctoral programs, and what advice is given to them), faculty management (the ongoing performance measurement and reward systems that are applied to individual faculty members), faculty portfolio (who provides administrative oversight, how workloads may vary across individuals, and how faculty are utilized), departmental culture (broader issues of culture), and academic freedom (the climate of academic freedom). Within each area, we pose research questions designed to provide faculty members and administrators with insights to enhance the development and utilization of accounting faculty.

Estrés por falta de control y daño en la relación con el enfermo en estudiantes en práctica clínica intrahospitalaria
Authors: Morales Herrera Edith , Amigo Rojas Claudia , Bustamante Ubilla Miguel
Published: June 2020

Este trabajo estudia la presencia de estresores en estudiantes de enfermería de tercer año durante la realización de sus prácticas clínicas intrahospitalarias. Se aplicó una metodología cuantitativa por medio del cuestionario bilingüe Kezkak, el cual considera nueve ámbitos de acción, sin embargo en esta investigación se analizarán sólo tres, entre los cuales tenemos: Falta de control en la relación con el enfermo, dañarse en la relación con el enfermo y búsqueda de una relación íntima por parte del enfermo, siendo estas las variables independientes. Se realizó un piloteo del instrumento con docentes para verificar entendimiento y comprensión del mismo. Los estudiantes fueron contactados vía on-line lográndose una cobertura de 89,6%. Se pudo concluir que los estudiantes de enfermería presentaron estrés durante las prácticas clínicas intrahospitalarias preferentemente al inicio. Los principales factores de estrés fueron, síntomas de impotencia e incertidumbre (analizados en otro estudio) y falta de control en la relación con el enfermo.
Réduction des décès et des hospitalisations dus à l’alcool grâce à des politiques fiscales et d’établissement des prix différentes? Modélisation des effets sur la consommation d’alcool, les revenus et les méfaits liés à l’alcool au Canada
Authors: Stockwell Tim , Churchill Samuel , Sherk Adam , Sorge Justin , Gruenewald Paul
Published: June 2020

Introduction

En 2017, le Canada a augmenté les taxes d’accise sur l’alcool pour la première fois depuis plus de 30 ans. Dans cet article, nous offrons un modèle permettant d’estimer les divers effets de politiques augmentant les taxes et les prix dans le but d’améliorer les résultats en matière de santé.

Méthodologie

Nous avons obtenu de Statistique Canada les données 2016­2017 sur les ventes de boissons alcoolisées et leur taxation dans l’ensemble des provinces et des territoires au Canada, ainsi que les données sur les ventes par produit en ColombieBritannique. Nous avons modélisé les effets de diverses politiques fiscales et d’établissement des prix ‒ taxes sans incidence sur les recettes gouvernementales, taxes corrigées en fonction de l’inflation et d’un prix unitaire minimum (PUM) ‒ sur la consommation, les revenus et les méfaits. Nous avons utilisé les élasticités de prix publiées pour estimer les effets sur la consommation et les revenus, et le modèle international en matière de méfaits et de politiques liés à l’alcool (InterMAHP) pour estimer les effets sur la mortalité et la morbidité attribuables à l’alcool.

Résultats

Toutes choses égales par ailleurs, les taxes volumétriques sur l’alcool (TVA) sans incidence sur les recettes gouvernementales auraient eu une influence minime sur la consommation globale d’alcool et les méfaits qui y sont liés. Les TVA corrigées en fonction de l’inflation auraient entraîné une baisse de 3,83 % de la consommation, ce qui se serait accompagné d’une réduction du nombre des décès de 329 et une diminution du nombre d’admissions à l’hôpital de 3762. En 2016, un prix unitaire minimum de 1,75 $ par verre standard (soit 17,05 ml d’éthanol) aurait permis de réduire la consommation de 8,68 %, ce qui aurait conduit à une diminution du nombre de décès de 732 et du nombre d’hospitalisations de 8 329. Indexer les taxes d’accise sur l’alcool entre 1991­ 1992 et 2016­2017 aurait fait gagner au gouvernement fédéral environ 10,97 milliards de dollars supplémentaires. Selon nos estimations, la situation aurait permis d’éviter entre 4000 et 5400 décès de plus et entre 43000 et 56000 hospitalisations supplémentaires.

Conclusion

L’amélioration des résultats en matière de santé publique aurait été possible grâce à (1) l’augmentation des taux de la taxe d’accise sur l’alcool pour toutes les boissons afin de compenser la non­indexation passée des taux et (2) la fixation d’un PUM d’au moins 1,75 $ par verre standard. La mise en œuvre de ces politiques permettrait aujourd’hui de réduire les méfaits dus à l’alcool tout en augmentant les recettes fédérales.
Drinking patterns, alcohol-related harm and views on policies: results from a pilot of the International Alcohol Control Study in Canada
Authors: van der Maas Mark , Giesbrecht Norman , Stoduto Gina , Orpana Heather , Geneau Robert , Mann Robert
Published: June 2020

Introduction

We conducted a pilot assessment of the feasibility of implementing the International Alcohol Control (IAC) Study in Ontario, Canada, to allow for future comparisons on the impacts of alcohol control policies with a number of countries.

Methods

The IAC Study questionnaire was adapted for use in the province of Ontario, and a split-sample approach was used to collect data. Data were collected by computer-assisted telephone interviewing of 500 participants, with half the sample each answering a subset of the adapted IAC Study survey.

Results

Just over half of the sample (53.6%) reported high frequency drinking (once a week or more frequently), while 6.5% reported heavy typical occasion drinking (8 drinks or more per session). Self-reported rates of alcohol-related harms from one's own and others' drinking were relatively low. Attitudes towards alcohol control varied. A substantial majority supported more police spot checks to detect drinking and driving, while restrictions on the number of alcohol outlets and increases in the price of alcohol were generally opposed.

Conclusion

This pilot study demonstrated that the IAC Study survey can be implemented in Canada with some modifications. Future research should assess how to improve participation rates and the feasibility of implementing the longitudinal aspect of the IAC Study. This survey provides additional insight into alcohol-related behaviours and attitudes towards alcohol control policies, which can be used to develop appropriate public health responses in the Canadian context.
Psychotic disorder and cannabis use: Canadian hospitalization trends, 2006–2015
Authors: Maloney-Hall Bridget , Wallingford Sarah C. , Konefal Sarah , Young Matthew M.
Published: June 2020

Introduction

Given the recent and impending changes to the legal status of nonmedical cannabis use in Canada, understanding the effects of cannabis use on the health care system is important for evaluating the impact of policy change. The aim of this study was to examine pre-legalization trends in hospitalizations for mental and behavioural disorders due to the use of cannabis, according to demographics factors and clinical conditions.

Methods

We assessed the total number of inpatient hospitalizations for psychiatric conditions with a primary diagnosis of a mental or behavioural disorder due to cannabis use (ICD-10-CA code F12) from the Hospital Mental Health Database for ten years spanning 2006 to 2015, inclusive. We included hospitalizations from all provinces and territories except Quebec. Rates (per 100 000 persons) and relative proportions of hospitalizations by clinical condition, age group, sex and year are reported.

Results

Between 2006 and 2015, the rate of cannabis-related hospitalizations in Canada doubled. Of special note, however, is that hospitalizations during this time period for those with the clinical condition code "mental and behavioural disorders due to use of cannabinoids, psychotic disorder" (F12.5) tripled, accounting for almost half (48%) of all cannabis-related hospitalizations in 2015.

Conclusion

Further research is required to investigate the reasons for the increase in hospitalizations for cannabis-related psychotic disorder. The introduction of high-potency cannabinoid products and synthetic cannabinoids into the illicit market are considered as possible factors.
Surveillance from the high ground: sentinel surveillance of injuries and poisonings associated with cannabis
Authors: Champagne André S. , McFaull Steven R. , Thompson Wendy , Bang Felix
Published: June 2020

Introduction

In October 2018, Canada legalized the nonmedical use of cannabis for adults. The aim of our study was to present a more recent temporal pattern of cannabis-related injuries and poisonings found in the electronic Canadian Hospitals Injury Reporting and Prevention Program (eCHIRPP) database and provide a descriptive summary of the injury characteristics of cannabis-related cases captured in a nine-year period.

Methods

We conducted a search for cannabis-related cases in the eCHIRPP database reported between April 2011 and August 2019. The study population consisted of patients between the ages of 0 and 79 years presenting to the 19 selected emergency departments across Canada participating in the eCHIRPP program. We calculated descriptive estimates examining the intentionality, external cause, type and severity of cannabis-related cases to better understand the contextual factors of such cases. We also conducted time trend analyses using Joinpoint software establishing the directionality of cannabis-related cases over the years among both children and adults.

Results

Between 1 April 2011, and 9 August, 2019, there were 2823 cannabis-related cases reported in eCHIRPP, representing 252.3 cases/100 000 eCHIRPP cases. Of the 2823 cannabis-related cases, a majority involved cannabis use in combination with one or more substances (63.1%; 1780 cases). There were 885 (31.3%) cases that involved only cannabis, and 158 cases (5.6%) that related to cannabis edibles. The leading external cause of injury among children and adults was poisoning. A large proportion of cannabis-related cases were unintentional in nature, and time trend analyses revealed that cannabis-related cases have recently been increasing among both children and adults. Overall, 15.1% of cases involved serious injuries requiring admission to hospital.

Conclusion

Cannabis-related cases in the eCHIRPP database are relatively rate, a finding that may point to the fact that mental and behavioural disorders resulting from cannabis exposure are not generally captured in this surveillance system and the limited number of sites found across Canada. With Canada's recent amendments to cannabis regulations, ongoing surveillance of the health impacts of cannabis will be imperative to help advance evidence to protect the health of Canadians.
Autonomie, compétence et appartenance sociale et consommation de cannabis et d’alcool chez les jeunes au Canada : une analyse transversale
Authors: Enns Aganeta , Orpana Heather
Published: June 2020

Introduction

La prévention de la consommation problématique de substances chez les jeunes mobilise de plus en plus d’attention, en lien avec diverses préoccupations autour des taux de consommation et des changements de politiques au Canada. Les approches axées sur les forces qui mettent l’accent sur les facteurs de protection, notamment une santé mentale positive, sont au cœur des recommandations actuelles en matière de prévention. Toutefois, il existe très peu de travaux de recherche sur l’association entre une santé mentale positive et la consommation de substances chez les jeunes. Notre étude porte sur les associations entre consommation de cannabis et d’alcool chez les jeunes et santé mentale positive et utilise le cadre de la théorie de l’autodétermination.

Méthodologie

Nous avons réalisé des analyses secondaires de l’Enquête canadienne sur le tabac, l’alcool et les drogues chez les élèves (ECTADE) de 2014­2015. Les élèves de la 7e à la 12e année résidant au Canada qui participaient à l’étude ont rempli l’Échelle de satisfaction des besoins intrinsèques des enfants (Children’s Intrinsic Needs Satisfaction Scale ou questionnaire CINSS), qui mesure l’autonomie, la compétence et l’appartenance sociale et ils ont répondu à des questions portant sur leur consommation de cannabis et d’alcool et leur consommation excessive occasionnelle d’alcool au cours des 30 derniers jours et la fréquence de ces consommations. Nous avons examiné les associations, stratifiées selon le sexe, entre l’autonomie, la compétence et l’appartenance sociale d’une part et la consommation de substances d’autre part en utilisant une régression logistique.

Résultats

Les modèles entièrement ajustés ont révélé que l’appartenance sociale et la compétence étaient associées à une probabilité plus faible de consommation au cours des 30 derniers jours et de fréquence élevée de consommation pour le cannabis et l’alcool et pour la consommation excessive occasionnelle d’alcool. Une autonomie plus grande était associée à une probabilité plus élevée de ces comportements. Toutes les associations étaient significatives, sauf entre le sentiment de compétence et une fréquence de consommation plus élevée de cannabis chez les garçons, et entre l’autonomie et une fréquence de consommation élevée d’alcool chez les filles.

Conclusion

Ces résultats fournissent de nouvelles données probantes sur les associations entre santé mentale positive et consommation de substances chez les jeunes, en particulier sur la façon dont l’autonomie, la compétence et l’appartenance sociale sont associées à la consommation de cannabis et d’alcool et à la consommation excessive occasionnelle d’alcool. Ces données probantes sont utilisables pour les programmes de promotion de la santé et de prévention de la consommation de substances.
Effects of Different Salinity Levels on Water Quality, Growth Performance and Body Composition of Pacific White Shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei Boone, 1931) Cultured in a Zero Water Exchange Heterotrophic System
Authors: Khanjani Mohammad Hossein , Sharifinia Moslem , Hajirezaee Saeed
Published: June 2020

The present study was aimed to evaluate the effects of different levels of salinity on water quality, growth performance, survival rate and body composition of Pacific white shrimp in a heterotrophic/ biofloc technology (BFT). Shrimp post-larvae with an average weight of 74.46 mg were cultured in 300 L fiberglass tanks containing 130 L water at a density of 1 post-larva/L. Three treatments including different levels of salinity of 8, 21 and 32 ppt with three replicates were considered. The highest levels of body weight, growth rate, specific growth rate, increase in body length and survival rate were observed at high salinity level (32 ppt). The highest feed conversion ratio (FCR) and the lowest level of feed efficiency were obtained in shrimps cultured at lowest salinity level (P<0.05). Biochemical analysis of shrimp body composition showed an increase in protein, lipid and ash content as the salinity was elevated (P<0.05). The zero-water exchange system used in this study had no significant effects on water quality parameters. The results of the present study concluded that high salinity level (32 ppt) improves the growth and survival of the biofloc supplemented Pacific white shrimp in a BFT system.

Authors: Nabrdalik Marcin , Sobociński Michał
Published: June 2020

The aim of the study was to present numerical strength analysis of the virtual knee and hip joints for the most popular tribological pairs used in prosthetic arthroplasty based on the Finite Elements Method. FEM makes it possible to calculate the stress in particular elements of the tested models. The research was dedicated to elucidate abrasive wear mechanisms during surface grinding of a polyethylene UHMW and a metal elements of endoprostheses. Strong adhesion was found between the abrasives and workpieces, which might be attributed to the chemical bonding between the abrasives and workpieces in synovial liquid. Therefore, the wear of UHMWPE is both chemical and physical. Abrasive wear effect, as a result of the abrasive wear process, is associated with material loss of the element surface layer due to the separation of particles by fissuring, stretching, or micro-cutting.

Published: June 2020

Pendaftaran jaminan fidusia seharusnya diakhiri dengan penghapusan jaminan fidusia. Hal ini berguna untuk mengembalikan hak pemberi jaminan fidusia atas obyek jaminan fidusia yang sebelumnya diserahkan secara kepercayaan kepada penerima jaminan fidusia. Kurang tegasnya pengaturan mengenai penghapusan jaminan fidusia berakibat penerima fidusia akan lebih memilih tidak melakukan penghapusan jaminan fidusia. Dengan demikian, pihak yang dirugikan adalah debitor sebagai pemberi fidusia. Perusahaan pembiayaan konsumen sebagai kreditor disarankan memahami betul tentang pentingnya penghapusan jaminan fidusia sehingga pihak debitor tidak merasa dirugikan oleh pihak kreditor dengan tidak dihapuskannya jaminan fidusia tersebut.  Kepada Kanwil Hukum dan Hak Asasi Manusia disarankan agar untuk segera melakukan penyempurnaan terhadap produk hukum yang berkaitan dengan jaminan fidusia. Dalam produk hukum selanjutnya diharapkan benar-benar dapat memberikan perlindungan dan kepastian hukum bagi semua pihak yang terkait dengan jaminan fidusia. Perbaikan tersebut harus memuat aturan yang tegas dengan mencantumkan sanksi bagi penerima fidusia yang tidak melakukan penghapusan jamina fidusia.The registration of fiduciary warrants that should be terminated by the abolition of fiduciary. It is useful to return the right of fiduciary warrant providers over the object of fiduciary warrants that is handed over be based on trust to the fiduciary recipients. Lacking of law enforcement in regard with abolishing the fiduciary warrant has caused the recipient of fiduciary prefers to abolish it. Therefore, parties having lost are debtors as the fiduciary providers. It is recommended that the customers as the creditors should fully understand the importance of fiduciary warrant abolition hence the debtors are not feeling to get loss by the creditors by not being abolishing the fiduciary warrant abolition. The Regional Office of Law and Human Rights should be soon revised towards the legal productsin relation to fiduciary warrant. In relation to legal products it should be then seriously protecting and providing legal certainty for all parties in relation to fiduciary warrant. The revision should be revised by inserting law that is explicitly stating sanction for the fiduciary recipients who are not abolishing the fiduciary.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui penerapan prinsip kehati-hatian pada pelaksanaan perjanjian kredit ringan di PT. Bank Tabungan Negara (Persero) Tbk mengetahui faktor penyebab terjadinya kredit macet pada kredit ringan di PT. Bank Tabungan Negara (Persero) Tbk serta untuk mengetahui penyelesaian yang ditempuh oleh PT. Bank Tabungan Negara (Persero)Tbk atas kredit ringan yang macet. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode penelitian yuridis empiris. Dimana hukum dilihat sebagai norma dan juga sebagai kenyataan sosial. Hal ini diperlukan dengan adanya pertimbangan untuk suatu aturan hukum yang berlaku dalam praktek dengan mewawancarai beberapa informan dan responden. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kredit ringan tidak hanya dapat diambil oleh nasabah debitor yang mempunyai payroll di Bank BTN, namun juga berlaku nonpayroll. Kredit ringan tidak mengharuskan nasabahnya menyerahkan suatu objek untuk dijadikan jaminan. Oleh karena itu penyelesaian tunggakan kredit ini bisa saja membutuhkan waktu yang lama dalam penyelesaiannya karena memerlukan beberapa pertimbangan dan tindakan hukum agar nasabah debitor kembali membayar angsuran tepat waktu bahkan melunasinya. This study aimed to determine the application of prudential principles in the implementation of the Kredit Ringan agreement in PT. Bank Tabungan Negara (Persero) Tbk, the cause of bad credit and settlement pursued by PT. State Savings Bank (Persero) Tbk on Kredit Ringan that stalled. This study used empirical juridical research methods, where law is seen as a norm and as a social reality. This was necessary with consideration of the rule of law applicable in practice by interviewing some informants and respondents. The result of the research showed that not only the debtor customers who have payroll in BTN Bank are allowed to take Kredit Ringan, but this also applies to non-payroll customers.Kredit Ringan does not require its customers submit an object to be collateralized. Therefore, the settlement of credit arrears may take a long time because it requires some consideration and legal action for the borrower's customers to pay back the installment on time and even pay it off.

Pengawasan Dan Penegakan Hukum Terhadap Bisnis Digital (E-Commerce) Oleh Komisi Pengawas Persaingan Usaha (KPPU) Dalam Praktek Persaingan Usaha Tidak Sehat
Authors: Effendi Basri
Published: June 2020

Bisnis dengan platform digital/e-commerce diatur dalam Undang-Undang Nomor 11 Tahun 2008 tentang Informasi dan Transaksi Elektronik. Seiring dengan meningkatnya perkembangan industry digital itu membuka peluang terjadinya persaingan usaha yang tidak sehat.  Hal ini bisa terjadi antara pelaku usaha bisnis platform digital dengan pelaku usaha konvensional. Sehingga hal itu memerlukan pengawasan dan penegakan hukum oleh KPPU (Komisi Pengawas Persaingan usaha). Berdasarkan uraian tersebut, permasalahan yang menjadi fokus kajian yaitu Bagaimanakah peran KPPU untuk melakukan pengawasan dan penegakan hukum terhadap bisnis platfom digital/e-commerce berdasarkan UU No 5 tahun 1999. Dalam melakukan pengawasan terhadap bisnis platform digital, KPPU memiliki Deputi Pencegahan.KPPU juga berperan dalam melindungi seluruh pelaku ekonomi agar tetap berada dalam jalur persaingan usaha yang sehat dan adil. KPPU dapat berperan dengan mencegah praktek monopoli persaingan usaha tidak sehat seperti diskriminasi, eksploitasi dari platform ke supplier atau antar platform, perjanjian eksklusif, predatory pricing, penyalahgunaan posisi dominan, dan berbagai bentuk persaingan usaha tidak sehat lainnya. Dalam aspek penegakan hukum, terdapat berbagai kasus yang terindikasi sebagai persaingan usaha tidak sehat sedang dalam proses investigasi dan proses peradilan oleh KPPU.Salah satunya adalah kasus Grab yang diduga membuat sistem kerjasama yang menguntungkan salah satu mitranya.

Water is an absolutely required resource for life nourishment especially for the purpose of drinking, domestic and farming. People in various part of the world are under prodigious threat due to unenviable changes in the physical-chemical and biological properties of an ecosystem. Due to anthropogenic causes like industrialization, the use of fertilizers and urbanization leads to highly polluted water bodies that include fresh and brackish water. These changes influence the harmful growth of cyanobacteria that is blue green algae. cyanoHABs (Cyanobacterial Harmful Algal Blooms)  became a worldwide threat to drinking and recreational purpose due to its adopting nature according to the temperature fluctuations. In this study, a basic introduction to cyanotoxins as well as the entanglement of public health that includes route of exposure health effects and the pervasive impact of cyanotoxins and alleviation efforts in the waterbodies along with that the toxicosis. Cyanobacterial toxins such as hepatotoxicosis, neurotoxicosis, gastrointestinal disturbances respiratory and allergic reactions were reviewed. Their detection process and the treatment techniques with various physicochemical methods and bioassay methods were also reviewed.
La cooperación al desarrollo como parte de la estructura económica del capitalismo global
Authors: Maestro Yarza Irene , Martínez Peinado Javier
Published: June 2020

In this article the relationship between Cooperation for Development and capitalist development is examined, focusing specially on changes in both processes during the last decades. It is argued that Development Cooperation is a part of the world economic structure, designed by capitalism along its different phases (in an international dimension, first; and global afterwards), so its functionality is embodied in the capitalist logical scheme itself. This paper outlines the narrow relationship between the cooperation models and the logics of reproduction of World System, both in its structure and superstructure dimensions. A Pro System cooperation practice is distinguished from an Anti System one, and some preliminary conclusions are derived about the need of improvements in Development Cooperation in order to promote truly structural changes.

Authors: Jia Jemianne Bautista , Mastrolonardo Eric , Soleman Mateen , Lekht Ilya
Published: June 2020

Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) is a cost-effective, quick, and non-invasive imaging modality that has yet to be incorporated in uterine artery embolization (UAE). We present two cases that demonstrate the utility of CEUS in UAE for the identification of uterine-ovarian collaterals which otherwise can result in ineffective fibroid treatment and non-target embolization.
Perbandingan Penggunaan Natrium Perkarbonat, Hidrogen Peroksida, Hipoklorit, dan Xilanase terhadap Sifat Optik Deinked Pulp
Authors: Ridho Muhammad , Sijabat Edwin K
Published: June 2020

Penggunaan bahan baku dari jenis kertas SWL (sorted white ledger) yang berasal dari proses mekanikal dan jenis kertas bekas yang mengandung banyak tinta memiliki dampak negatif karena menyebabkan sifat optik dari deinked pulp yang dihasilkan tidak optimal. Penyebab dari masalah tersebut adalah tingginya kandungan logam dan lignin pada SWL dan kertas bekas. Untuk mengatasi masalah tersebut, pada penlitian ini dilakukan penambahkan DTPA (Diethylene Triamine Pentaacetic Acid) sebagai penghilang kandungan logam dan bahan pemutih untuk menghilangkan lignin. Bahan pemutih yang digunakan adalah natrium perkarbonat, hidrogen peroksida, hipoklorit, dan xilanase. Dilakukan variasi dosis (1%; 1,5%; dan 2%) dan suhu pemutih (50°C, 70°C, dan 90°C) untuk menentukan titik optimal. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa bahan pemutih yang digunakan mampu meningkatkan derajat cerah dan derajat putih dari deinked pulp. Nilai sifat optik yang paling optimal didapat pada proses pemutihan menggunakan 2% natrium perkarbonat pada suhu 70°C, dengan nilai derajat cerah sebesar 85,30% ISO dan derajat putih sebesar 112,27% ISO. The Comparison of Sodium Percarbonate, Hydrogen Peroxide, Hypochlorite, and Xylanaseon Optical Properties of Deinked PulpAbstract The use of raw materials from SWL (sorted white ledger) paper originating from mechanical processes as well as used paper types that contain a lot of ink has a negative impact because it causes no optimal value for the optical properties of deinked pulp. The cause of these problems is the high content of metals and lignin. To overcome this problem, it is necessary to add DTPA (Diethylene Triamine Pentaacetic Acid) as a remover for metals and bleaching agents to remove lignin. The bleaching agents used in this study were sodium percarbonate, hydrogen peroxide, hypochlorite, and xylanase. Variation of bleach dose (1%, 1,5%, and 2%) and temperature (50°C, 70°C, and 90°C) is performed to determine the optimal point. The results showed that the whitening material used was able to increase the bright and white degrees of deinked pulp. The most optimal optical properties values obtained in the whitening process using 2% sodium percarbonate at 70°C, with a bright degree value of 85.30% ISO and a degree of white of 112.27% ISO. Keywords: SWL, waste paper, sodium percarbonate, hydrogen peroxide, hypochlorite, xylanase.
1- and 2-Photon Phototherapeutic Effects of Ru(II) Polypyridine Complexes in the Hypoxic Centre of Large Multicellular Tumour Spheroids and Tumour-Bearing Mice
Authors: Karges Johannes , Kuang Shi , Ong Yih Ching , Chao Hui , Gasser Gilles
Published: June 2020

During the last decades, photodynamic therapy (PDT), an approved medical technique, has received increasing attention to treat certain types of cancer. Despite recent improvements, the treatment of large tumors remains a major clinical challenge due to the low ability of the photosensitizer (PS) to penetrate a 3D cellular architecture and the low oxygen concentrations present in the tumour centre. To mimic the conditions found in clinical tumors, exceptionally large 3D multicellular tumour spheroids (MCTSs) with a diameter of 800 µm were used in this work to test a series of new Ru(II) polypyridine complexes as 1-Photon and 2-Photon PSs. These metal complexes were found to fully penetrate the 3D cellular architecture and to generate singlet oxygen in the hypoxic centre upon light irradiation. While having no observed dark toxicity, the lead compound of this study showed an impressive phototoxicity upon clinically relevant 1-Photon (595 nm) or 2-Photon (800 nm) excitation with a full eradication of the hypoxic centre of the MCTSs. Importantly, this efficacy was also demonstrated on mice bearing an adenocarcinomic human alveolar basal epithelial tumour.

Objetivo. Descrever o perfil toxicológico de todas as vítimas de suicídio no Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil, de 2017 a 2019.

Métodos. Neste estudo descritivo e transversal, foram consultados todos os laudos periciais e as ocorrências policiais relacionados aos óbitos por suicídio no estado. Foram realizadas análises de correspondência múltipla e construídos modelos independentes de regressão logística, tendo como variáveis dependentes o etanol, os ansiolíticos, os antidepressivos, as substâncias ilícitas e os agentes tóxicos não medicamentosos.

Resultados. Foram realizados 2 978 exames de alcoolemia, com resultado positivo em 28,5%. A chance de resultados positivos para alcoolemia foi 0,5 (IC95%: 1,1 a 2,2) vez maior para suicídio durante a noite, 1,0 (IC95%: 1,4 a 2,9) vez maior para suicídio aos finais de semana e 0,9 (IC95%: 1,3 a 2,7) vez maior na presença de antecedentes criminais. A pesquisa de psicotrópicos (2 900 amostras) detectou algum medicamento em 30,4%. Os ansiolíticos foram a classe mais frequente, com chance 1,5 (IC95%: 1,6 a 4,1) vez maior em mulheres e 0,8 (IC95%: 1,2 a 2,7) vez maior para suicídios ocorridos no outono-inverno. As substâncias ilícitas (n = 338) tiveram chance 4,1 (IC95%: 1,9 a 14,4) vezes maior de detecção na macrorregião de Pelotas em relação à de Passo Fundo e 1,2 (IC95%: 1,3 a 3,6) vez maior em pessoas com resultados positivos para etanol. Não houve diferença significativa entre adolescentes e adultos.

Conclusões. Embora sem evidência de causalidade, os resultados mostram um vínculo entre o suicídio e diversos psicoativos. Os médicos legistas devem ser orientados quanto à necessidade de realização de exames toxicológicos em todos os casos de suicídio.
