A Reassessment of the Fertility Rate-Poverty Rate Nexus: Evidence from Nigeria
Authors: Oghenekevwe Oru Patricia
Published: May 2024

This research aimed to uncover the connection between two variables specifically within Nigeria. Using data from 1980 to 2016 and a modified Solow model, researchers identified a clear positive relationship between high fertility rates and poverty levels in the country. The study indicates that the causality primarily stems from fertility rates leading to poverty, emphasizing the necessity for interventions to address these challenges. The absence of social safety nets and support programs in Nigeria contributes to larger family sizes, resulting in inadequate healthcare, limited educational opportunities, and restricted economic prospects. These results highlight the critical need to revisit and strengthen the National Population Policy to effectively tackle these issues, emphasizing the essential role of government leadership in driving these much-needed reforms. The correlation between the main variables was established using the SVAR and innovation accounting method. The findings reveal a significant and strong positive correlation between poverty and fertility rate, with this correlation surpassing that of other variables examined. The study suggests that this may be attributed to the lack of social safety nets and family support programs in Nigeria, leading to the consequences of larger family sizes, including inadequate healthcare, limited access to education, lack of economic opportunities, and restricted social mobility. Based on these empirical findings, an immediate reassessment and revitalization of the National Population Policy (NPP) are warranted, with strong leadership from the Federal Government required from both the Executive and the National Assembly.

PEC 32: A TRANSIÇÃO PARA UM ESTADO NEOLIBERAL ATRAVÉS DA REFORMA DO SERVIÇO PÚBLICO E A REDUÇÃO DO ESTADO DE BEM-ESTAR
Authors: Mello Bruno de Ugalde
Published: May 2024

O estudo apresenta uma análise da PEC 32/2020, conhecida como reforma administrativa no Brasil. Utilizando uma abordagem qualitativa que inclui a análise do próprio PEC, publicações do Ministério da Economia e opiniões de especialistas, o estudo aponta preocupações importantes. A reforma, embora intencional para corrigir distorções no serviço público, pode não ser eficaz e resultar em impactos negativos na eficiência e na qualidade dos serviços públicos. A tendência de reduzir a intervenção estatal na economia e a limitação da autonomia dos servidores, particularmente com critérios mais rígidos para a estabilidade, pode levar à perda de talentos e aumentar a vulnerabilidade dos servidores às políticas de pressão. Além disso, há a preocupação de que a reforma possa enfraquecer o Estado de Bem-Estar Social no Brasil, favorecendo uma transição para um modelo de Estado Neoliberal. O estudo conclui que a PEC 32/2020 necessita de uma revisão detalhada para garantir que ela fortaleça, em vez de enfraquecer, a eficiência e eficácia do serviço público, protegendo os direitos dos servidores e o interesse público. É crucial que a reforma seja cuidadosamente avaliada para evitar a diminuição da qualidade e disponibilidade dos serviços públicos, garantindo que as necessidades da população sejam atendidas de maneira eficaz.
Waste Deep: How Tyson Foods Pollutes US Waterways and Which States Bear the Brunt
Authors: Goswami Omanjana , Woods Stacy
Published: May 2024

Tyson Foods, the nation’s largest meat and poultry producer, released hundreds of millions of pounds of pollutants from its slaughterhouses and processing plants into local waterways across the United States between 2018 and 2022. Water pollutants from Tyson plants pose a risk to people and the environment and include large amounts of nitrogen and phosphorus. These nutrients feed algal blooms that clog water infrastructure, exacerbate asthma and other respiratory conditions, and contribute to dead zones that harm fish, shellfish, and people. Many of these facilities are also located close to federally defined critical habitats for endangered or threatened species. This analysis adds to a broader critique of Tyson Foods and the impact of this megacorporation on communities, consumers, farmers, and workers. Policymakers can reduce the damage Tyson causes by tightening wastewater pollution standards, better enforcing discharge limits, and cracking down on the corporate consolidation that enables Tyson’s excesses.
Resección quirúrgica de tumores cerebrales malignos con guía estereotáxica
Authors: Sacchettoni Sergio A.
Published: May 2024

Los autores reportan un estudio clínico de fase I sobre una técnica quirúrgica para resecar tumores gliales ubicados en o cerca de estructuras motoras cerebrales (área cortical motora o cápsula interna). La resección quirúrgica en estas regiones siempre conlleva un alto riesgo de lesión de la función motora. Para reducir este riesgo se ha preconizado el uso de abordajes guiados por estereotaxia computarizada (“neuronavegación”), ultrasonografía intraoperatoria, resonancia magnética (RM) intraoperatoria o registro cortical intraoperatorio. No obstante, estos artefactos tecnológicos son muy costosos o requieren de una especial experiencia para poder aplicarlas masivamente. En este trabajo se describe una manera más sencilla de resecar tumores gliales de bordes definidos por las neuroimágenes, colocando con guía estereotáxica marcas de algodón (Cotonoides®, de Codman®) embebidas en azul de tripano. Las marcas se colocan: una en el centro volumétrico y/o en el fondo del tumor y otras 3 ó 4 marcas en los bordes contiguos a la(s) estructura(s) motora(s) que se desea preservar. Luego se realiza la craneotomía y corticotomía de la manera convencional. En el abordaje se sigue el hilo de la marca central o del fondo. Una vez llegado al tumor, la resección prosigue de manera usual deteniéndola cada vez que se encuentre alguna marca de los bordes. En aquellos bordes donde no se colocó marca alguna la resección termina según el criterio del cirujano. Esta serie consta de 12 casos de gliomas de diversos grados ubicados cerca del área cortical motora o de la cápsula interna. La función motora y la calidad de vida fueron evaluadas clínicamente utilizando las escalas de fuerza muscular y de Karnofsky, respectivamente. La extensión de la resección se apreció comparando las imágenes por resonancia magnética (RM) pre y posoperatoria. Se logró la resección macroscópica completa del tumor en todos los casos. En 2 de los 12 pacientes la fuerza muscular empeoró de manera transitoria y en 4 pacientes (incluyendo los dos primeros) disminuyó el puntaje en la escala de Karnofsky. Se concluye que se justifica continuar este trabajo con un estudio clínico de fase II pues se pudo obtener la resección completa sin mayor morbilidad.

Published: May 2024

Se revisa los conceptos generales acerca de la cirugía de la epilepsia y se describe los objetivos básicos de la selección de pacientes: 1) Definir si una epilepsia es médicamente intratable, 2) identificar la zona epileptógena y 3) determinar su relación con las áreas funcionales del cerebro. Es relevante, además, tener claro el grado de impacto que una cirugía exitosa pueda tener en el desempeño vital del paciente. Se menciona las distintas modalidades actuales del manejo quirúrgico de la epilepsia, identificando sus fortalezas y debilidades y los logros que se espera por cada patología.

Published: May 2024

For a finite group G, we introduce the concept of commutativity degree of its cyclic chains. We denote the commutativity degree of cyclic chains of a group G by ccd(G), and compute this measure for some famous groups such as dihedral groups D2n, quaternion groups Q2n, quasi-dihedral groups QD2n, and modular groups Mpn.
