Lei de informática, sistema produtivo e efeitos econômicos: uma análise das diretrizes requisitadas pela OMC no Brasil
Authors:   , Martins Marina Alves
Published: July 2021

O investimento em pesquisa e desenvolvimento (P&D) é um fator de promoção do crescimento econômico. Entretanto, de acordo com os aspectos de bem público do conhecimento e as falhas de mercado, verifica-se que os esforços privados na promoção de P&D ficam abaixo do nível socialmente ótimo. Portanto, é comum que os governos promovam políticas que incentivem os investimentos em P&D. Especialmente, políticas direcionadas aos setores mais intensivos em tecnologia, em que a produtividade é mais sensível a esse tipo de investimento. No Brasil, a Lei de Informática é considerada uma das principais políticas de apoio à P&D empresarial. Ela foi instituída em 1991 e, concedia descontos no imposto sobre produtos industrializados (IPI) para as firmas do setor de Tecnologias da Informação e Comunicação (TIC), que investissem determinado montante em P&D. Em 2019, após reclamações da União Europeia e do Japão, no âmbito da Organização Mundial do Comércio (OMC), a Lei de Informática teve que passar por reformulações. A partir de 2020, a nova Lei de Informática começou a vigorar, restabelecendo a cobrança integral de IPI sobre os produtos de TIC e concedendo um novo benefício para o setor na forma de crédito fiscal. Além disso, a fiscalização da contrapartida por parte das empresas beneficiadas, em investimentos em P&D, ficou mais rígida. Dessa forma, o objetivo desta dissertação é indicar os possíveis efeitos econômicos dessas mudanças na Lei de Informática. Tal simulação é realizada por meio de um modelo dinâmico de Equilíbrio Geral Computável (EGC), que reconhece a relação de fluxo de estoque entre investimento em P&D e capital de conhecimento. Os resultados sinalizaram que a retomada da cobrança de IPI desencadearia efeitos negativos sobre os principais indicadores macroeconômicos, como o PIB, os investimentos e as exportações. Porém, a concessão de crédito fiscal e o aumento dos investimentos em P&D seriam eficientes para reverter as perdas e gerar ganhos adicionais. Os setores mais beneficiados seriam aqueles diretamente afetados pelas políticas. Ademais, os efeitos positivos se propagam até os setores com menor intensidade tecnológica. Conclui-se, portanto, que as alterações na Lei de Informática incluíram as exigências realizadas pela OMC e incorporaram mecanismos capazes de compensar os agravos econômicos que elas poderiam gerar.
Sistemas lineares e pontos de ramificação em curvas nodais redutíveis
Authors:   , Santos Caio Rezende Marques dos
Published: July 2021

Limites de pontos de ramificação e de sistemas lineares foram estudados por D. Eisenbud e J. Harris na década de 1980, quando desenvolveram a teoria de limite de séries lineares para curvas de tipo compacto. Em um de seus artigos, Eisenbud e Harris (1987, p. 499) questionaram: "Quais são os limites de pontos de Weierstrass em famílias de curvas degenerando em curvas estáveis que não são de tipo compacto?". Neste trabalho, damos uma respota satisfatória a essa questão, baseado nos resultados obtidos no artigo (5) de E. Esteves.
Join-Me: um framework para integração entre provedores de serviços e operadores de redes móveis
Authors:   , Deus Alexandre Martins Gama de
Published: July 2021

Com a popularização dos smartphones e do acesso móvel à Internet, Provedores de Serviços e Operadores de Redes Móveis têm empregado significativos esforços para elevar a qualidade de experiência (QoE) dos usuários. Observa-se, no entanto, que em tais esforços não há uma integração entre ambas as partes, que permitiria o uso avançado e sob demanda de recursos para impactar positivamente na QoE dos usuários. Para suprir esta lacuna, este trabalho apresenta Join-Me, um framework que possibilita que Provedores de Serviços transfiram módulos de seus serviços para a infraestrutura dos Operadores de Redes Móveis. Com a gestão de tais módulos feita internamente pela rede, os serviços podem ser entregues tão próximos do usuário quanto necessário, contando com uma gerência dinâmica de recursos e respeitando a privacidade do usuário. Join-Me define, além dos componentes funcionais necessários, uma interface que permite aos Provedores de Serviços especificarem, para cada um dos módulos de um serviço, a demanda por uso de recursos, pela qual serão tarifados adequadamente. Um serviço de telemedicina interativa com vídeo de ultra alta definição é utilizado como prova de conceito, sendo avaliada com o método de Video Multimethod Assessment Fusion, de forma a demonstrar concretamente o ganho de QoE como intencionado por Join-Me.
Do labor inspections make a difference? An analysis of establishments in Brazil
Authors:   , Lira Ísis Ferreira
Published: July 2021

Estabelecimentos em todo o mundo enfrentam um trade-off entre seguir a lei e incorrer em custos trabalhistas mais altos ou fugir dos regulamentos e correr o risco de punição. Neste contexto, a inspeção do trabalho é a principal política pública que visa reduzir o hiato entre as leis no papel e o seu cumprimento pela sociedade. Este trabalho estuda como as inspeções afetam os resultados das empresas no Brasil. Exploramos o fato de que estabelecimentos não são avisados sobre o ato de fiscalização, o que torna o momento da ação exógeno. Combinamos os dados das empresas inspecionadas entre 2007 e 2017 com os dados administrativos do empregador-empregado (RAIS). Usando uma amostra com empresas inspecionadas apenas uma vez no período ou nunca inspecionadas que tinham entre 10 e 500 funcionários inicialmente e adotando as abordagens de estudo de evento/diferença-em-diferença, descobrimos que receber a fiscalização afeta negativamente o estabelecimento. Observa-se um declínio nos oito trimestres seguintes a fiscalização no emprego, contratação, separação e salários. O efeito médio é de cerca de 16,47%, 17,39%, 11,31% e 4,26% respectivamente. Também é documentado uma pequena mudança na composição da mão de obra devido à fiscalização, contratos mais flexíveis e menos horas contratadas. Além disso, os estabelecimentos do setor de construção e serviços são os mais afetados, assim como as empresas com 50 a 100 empregados. Argumentamos que o principal canal pode ser via aumento dos custos trabalhistas.

Authors: Almustafa Ghadeer
Published: July 2021

The aim of this study is to derive the criteria for the final image of the Wexler scale, the Jordanian image of children's intelligence for pre-school and primary school for the age group 4 - 6.5 years. The study population consists of all children in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan for the age group 4 - 6.5 years. The sample of the study consisted of (1491) tests distributed by gender, age group, special education groups and the area of residence for the years 2016-2019, who were chosen in a stratified randomized manner, as the study tool was used, which is the Wexler scale of children's intelligence for pre-school, the Jordanian image. The indications of the validity of the scale were reached through the validity of the content and the correlative validity, as the correlation coefficient between the Wexler-Binet scale of intelligence reached the Jordanian image (0.71) and the illustrated IQ scale (0.72). Factor analysis found that there are two factors (verbal, performance) explain (50.98) of the total variance. As for the results of the discriminatory honesty, it showed statistically significant differences between ordinary children and special education groups in favor of ordinary children. The results also showed the existence of statistically significant differences according to the age group and in favor of older age. There were also indications of the stability of the scale by the half-segmentation method and the stability by the internal consistency method, where the reliability coefficients ranged between (0.86 - 0.89) for the sub-measures and (0.92) for the total degree. The criteria for the final image of the scale were also derived by converting the raw score to a weighted score for the sub-tests and then to a mean deviation intelligence ratio of 100 and its deviation 15. The study recommended the use of the Wexler scale in evaluating children for pre-school and primary school and taking appropriate decisions.

Authors: Rahmawati Titasari , Kristianto Ariel
Published: July 2021

Teknologi informasi berupa internet telah memasuki kehidupan rumah tangga, sekolah, institusi publik, maupun dunia bisnis. Kebutuhan akan adanya teknologi dan informasi telah mengubah pola hidup dan kinerja suatu institusi atau lembaga khususnya lembaga penyedia informasi lowongan kerja atau biasa disebut dengan Bursa Kerja Khusus (BKK). BKK di Sekolah Menengah Kejuruan (SMK) XYZ di Kota Jombang masih menggunakan cara manual dalam memberikan informasi lowongan kerja ke calon lulusan atau ke alumni. Informasi lowongan kerja dibagikan dengan sebuah link yang didistribusikan melalui Media Sosial Whatsapp. Link tersebut mengarah ke google form yang mengharuskan calon kandidat untuk mengisi data-data lamaran. Calon kandidat mengalami proses yang redundant dalam pengisian data lamaran misalnya profil, riwayat pendidikan, dan pengalaman pelamar. Hal tersebut menjadi tidak efektif baik bagi pelamar dan admin BKK. Dengan demikian dirancang suatu sistem informasi lowongan kerja berbasis web yang dapat menjadi media informasi lowongan kerja untuk calon pelamar. Sebelum sistem diimplementasikan ke sekolah, dilakukan 2 (dua) kali tahap uji coba sistem dengan pengguna. Uji coba yang dilakukan mendapat masukan dari pengguna dan menjadi bahan perbaikan. Selain kegiatan uji coba juga dilakukan kegiatan pelatihan dimana dari kegiatan pelatihan tersebut dapat disimpulkan bahwa admin BKK, calon lulusan dan juga pihak perusahaan dapat menggunakan sistem tersebut dengan baik dan memberikan dampak yang positif untuk sekolah. Admin BKK dan mitra penyedia lowongan kerja dapat dengan mudah menambahkan informasi lowongan yang tersedia, sehingga calon lulusan/pelamar dapat memantau informasi lowongan kerja secara langsung melalui website dan dapat melamar sesuai dengan kualifikasi yang sudah ditetapkan oleh mitra penyedia lowongan.

Authors: Bhat Rajani B , Suresh V N
Published: July 2021

The corona virus outbreak, which originated in China, has infected nearly 8, 75,000 people. Its spread has left businesses around the world counting costs. The corona virus is going global, and it could bring the world economy to a standstill. COVID-19 that began in the depths of China’s Hubei province is spreading rapidly, persuading the World Health Organisation to declare it as a pandemic. There are now significant outbreaks from South Korea to Italy and Iran, from America to Britain. The ongoing spread of the new corona virus has become one of the biggest threats to the global economy and financial markets. Even though, time and again our Indian economists have assured the country that Indian economy stands relatively insulated from the global value chain, but being integrated into world economy, there has to be some impact. This was reflected in the Nifty when the stock market took a great plunge down in last week of February, 2020. The present study is an attempt to examine the impact of COVID-19 on Indian Stock market. The study takes into consideration a time period of four months, from December 1st, 2019 to March 31st, 2020. The study focuses on the Nifty and sectoral indices of Nifty along with India Volatility Index. Tools used for the study involves correlation, regression, ANOVA, variance analysis and moving averages. The study concludes with the statement that volatility is higher in medium run than in short run and also there is significant impact of COVID-19 on Indian stock market.
Influência do escore de trato reprodutivo e da circunferência escrotal dos touros sobre a antecipação da puberdade em novilhas Nelore
Authors: Hartmann Welington , Grosse Hedron Victor da Luz
Published: July 2021

A raça Nelore é considerada tardia sexualmente, pois enquanto fêmeas taurinas atingem a puberdade com cerca de 10 a 15 meses, nos zebuínos ocorre dos 16 a 40 meses. Há uma constante busca constante de técnicas efetivas que melhorem a eficiência reprodutiva. A puberdade é determinada por fatores genéticos, juntamente com a taxa de crescimento e peso corporal, que são bastante influenciados por fatores ambientais, destacando o manejo nutricional. O estudo foi realizado em uma propriedade localizada em Porto Esperidião-MT, com a utilização de 223 fêmeas Nelore PO com idades que variaram de 12 a 15 meses. Um grupo de novilhas foi formado por filhas de touros com circunferência escrotal (CE) de 40 cm, outro grupo por filhas de touros com CE de 41 cm e assim por diante, até 46 cm, totalizando 7 grupos. O tratamento estatístico R-Quadrado indicou que o modelo ajustado explica 88,1536% da variabilidade na CE. O coeficiente de correlação foi igual a 0,938902, indicando uma relação relativamente forte entre as variáveis CE e peso aos 13 meses. O tratamento estatístico permitiu obter um modelo linear para descrever a relação entre Peso (kg) e CE (cm), com a equação: Peso (kg) = - 20,6429 + 8,5 x CE (cm). Com essas informações é possível auferir a importância da medida de circunferência escrotal em touros da raça Nelore, por apresentar correlação alta e positiva com o peso corporal de novilhas e com escore de trato reprodutivo aos 13-14 meses de idade.

Published: July 2021

El mejoramiento genético del cacao (Theobroma cacao L.) puede apoyarse con técnicas moleculares de bajo costo y altamente informativas. En este estudio se utilizaron iniciadores para la detección de polimorfismos amplificados de secuencias relacionadas (SRAP) y polimorfismos amplificados relacionado a intrones (ITAP) para la caracterización molecular del género Theobroma. Los genotipos Carmelo, Lagarto, PMCT 58, CATIE R1 y CATIE R6 se evaluaron a través de ADN genómico mediante 43 combinaciones de pares de iniciadores tipo SRAP y 55 combinaciones de pares de iniciadores tipo ITAP mediante PCR. Una vez seleccionados los iniciadores SRAP e ITAP altamente polimórficos, se verificó su utilidad para distinguir entre genotipos de cacao Criollo, Trinitario, Forastero y especies relacionadas al género Theobroma. Para analizar el polimorfismo, las bandas SRAP e ITAP de igual tamaño y movilidad generadas por la misma combinación para los genotipos evaluados se consideraron como idénticas para ese locus. Se generó una matriz binaria con el registro de ausencia (0) o presencia (1) de bandas para cada locus. Con la matriz se calculó la similitud genética de Jaccard. Con los valores de similitud se generó un dendrograma mediante el procedimiento de promedios de grupos no ponderados (UPGMA). Se calculó el contenido de información polimórfica (PIC) y poder de resolución (RP) por combinación de iniciadores. Con la técnica SRAP se generaron 312 bandas, y se encontró un polimorfismo promedio de 44 %, un PIC de 0.17 y un RP de 1.92 en promedio. Con la técnica ITAP se generaron 931 bandas, así como un polimorfismo promedio de 69 %, un PIC de 0.27 y un RP de 7.5. El análisis individual generado por cada combinación de iniciadores permitió seleccionar 10 pares de iniciadores para SRAP y 11 para ITAP. Los datos generados por las combinaciones Me1/Em7, Me6/Em3 y Me6/Em7 de SRAP en interacción con las combinaciones Itpr3/Em10 e Itpr4/Em3 de ITAP mostraron mayor capacidad para distinguir entre tipos genéticos de cacao y especies relacionadas al género Theobroma.

OPERAÇÃO CAST LEAD
Authors: Vieira José Rodolfo
Published: July 2021

O objetivo desse artigo consiste em observar o trabalho do jornalista e quadrinista estadunidense Joe Sacco, intitulado Notas sobre Gaza. Nesse trabalho, o autor, por meio de várias entrevistas tenta rememorar os acontecimentos nas aldeias de Khan Younis e Rafah, ambas na Faixa de Gaza, acerca do massacre de novembro de 1956, diante dos litígios que darão início à Guerra de Suez de 1956. No entanto, além de representar a memória dos palestinos que vivenciaram os acontecimentos de 1956, o trabalho de Sacco entrecruza com os acontecimentos que condizem com o período de produção de seu trabalho (2002-2009). Nesse artigo, nossa atenção estará voltada para a Operação Cast Lead, que aconteceu entre o final de 2008 e início de 2009. Para isso, utilizaremos como base teórica o conceito de representações do historiador francês Roger Chartier a fim de analisarmos os sistemas de representações que estavam sendo produzidos concomitante ao período de produção de Notas sobre Gaza.
IDENTIFICANDO E CLASSIFICANDO MENORES NO RIO DE JANEIRO DA DÉCADA DE 1930
Authors: Da Silva Renato , Oliveira Rosane Cristina
Published: July 2021

Este trabalho analisa a história do Instituto Sete de Setembro (ISS) e seu Laboratório de Biologia Infantil (LBI) na década de 1930. Localizado no Rio de Janeiro, capital da República, o ISS privilegiou a utilização de exames médico-legais para identificar os traços biológicos da criminalidade infantil. Teve sua origem a partir de uma instituição que funcionava como abrigo de crianças abandonadas. O ISS atuou inicialmente como estabelecimento temporário para abrigar as crianças encaminhadas a outras casas de recuperação e tinha como incumbência realizar a triagem de menores encaminhados pela polícia. O LBI era encarregado de fazer exames, que incluíam componentes médico-legal e antropológico, e preparar pareceres para avaliação por parte do Juizado de Menores. Argumenta-se que, através de uma análise histórica dessas instituições, é possível melhor compreender a emergência de políticas públicas voltadas para a infância na década de 1930 no Brasil.
DIVERSIDADE CULTURAL E IDENTIDADE
Authors: De Oliveira Barbosa Sonia , Vieira de Oliveira Luiz Claudio
Published: July 2021

O presente estudo, consiste em analisar a obra literária infantil contemporânea: “Pão e Circo” dos autores mineiros: Leo Cunha e André Salles-Coelho, observando os aspectos da diversidade cultural e da identidade presentes na obra. Parte-se do pressuposto de que a obra problematiza a diversidade cultural, a diferença social e pessoal, bem como a questão da identidade e da exclusão social. Com isso, os autores constroem um discurso sobre a diversidade social, permitindo que as crianças reflitam sobre si mesmas e sobre o outro a partir do convívio social, propiciando o processo de construção de identidade, tornando-se capazes de refletir sobre os valores culturais presentes na sociedade em que vivem. Este trabalho destaca-se como metodologia a leitura intensiva da obra “Pão e Circo”, com vista em identificar na narrativa como é apresenta a diversidade cultural e a identidade. Subsidiariamente, aplicaram-se conceitos extraídos da Análise do Discurso: Mainguenau (1989, 1996, 2001) e Charaudeau (2010a , 2010b, 2016). Com base nos dados do estudo, percebemos elementos culturais introduzindo nas narrativas que contribui na discussão da diversidade cultural e identidade, possibilitando as crianças uma reflexão que existem grupos que são diferentes entre si, mas os direitos entre si são correlatos.

Authors: Razali Nur Hanisah , Jaafar Nizam , Ahmad Ismail
Published: July 2021

Islamic Banking works in an economy and achieving the ideal position of Shariah financial institution requires continuous improvement and indicators. The right values and environment of a bank that is operating based on Shariah are important to ensure that the delivery services could be executed in the best manner possible. Islamic Bank therefore should embed with social and the charity work network for the purpose of its corporate social responsibility to the community. The fundamental issue which is due to the lack of focus on prioritising the social objective of Islamic organisations based on Shariah leads to the inadequacy of conventional CSR theories to underpin CSR practices of Islamic organisations. The existing concept of CSR is grounded on western perspectives, and it will be a great implication to delve into CSR within the Islamic perspectives. Therefore, the objective of this study to examine the extent of CSR based on Maqasid Al Shariah in terms of four dimensions of the Islamic Banks sector between Malaysia and the MENA region for the period of 2013 to 2018. This study employed a content analysis method to collect quantitative data on CSR based on Maqasid Al-Shariah in the Bank Islam annual report and stand-alone sustainability report. The content analysis was carried out to achieve this objective. The investigation on the content is based on CSR reporting in their annual report and stand-alone sustainability report according to what has been provided by the banks. The results of the analyses provide significant insight into the amount and nature of CSR among Islamic Banks across sectors. Generally, the CSR activities cover all organization activities related to the organization and its various stakeholder. Finally, through mean score ranking for CSRD items shows that there was a mixed ranking for CSR based on Maqasid Al-Shariah dimension and element in Malaysia and MENA region.
THE IMPACT OF COVID-19 ON THE FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE OF PN17 AND GN3 STATUS FIRMS: DOES IT ADD SALT INTO THE WOUND?
Authors: Mior Ahmed Shahimi Wan Rozima , Hanafi Ahmad Harith Ashrofie , Mohamad Yusof Nurul Afidah
Published: July 2021

The Covid-19 pandemic has brought about major changes to the Malaysian economic landscape in terms of productivity level, investment, and household spending. Nonetheless, the unprecedented presence of Covid-19 has caused an unexpected level of disruption to firms from a liquidity and leverage perspective that impacts financial performance. This study focused on financially distressed firms classified under PN17 and GN3 by Bursa Malaysia. Hence, the aim of this study is to examine the impact of liquidity, leverage, and the Covid-19 pandemic period on the financial performance of financially distressed firms in Malaysia which are classified as PN17 and GN3 firms. By using liquidity ratios, financial leverage ratios, and a dummy variable of Covid-19, the result showed that the current ratio, net working capital, and debt ratio were found significant to affect the financial performance. Meanwhile, there is no significant evidence to support that the Covid-19 pandemic has an impact on the performance of financially distressed firms. The finding indicates that the financially distressed firm’s financial performance was purely due to bad management practices, and not contributed by the Covid-19 pandemic.

THE POSITION AND THE ROLES OF THE ADVISOR OF THE COURT FOR CHILDREN IN THE JUVENILE JUSTICE SYSTEM IN MALAYSIA: ISSUES AND CHALLENGES
Authors: Abdul Wahab Norazla , Md Abdul Salam Nur Zulfah , Dahalan Hammad Mohamad
Published: July 2021

The establishment of the Court for Children in the juvenile justice system is to provide legal protection for children. This court consists of a Magistrate and two advisors which one of them is a woman as provided in section 11 (2) of the Child Act 2001. Basically, the role of the advisor of the Court for Children is to advise the Magistrate relating to the orders (punishment) to be imposed on children who are in conflict with the law and to advise the parents or guardians whenever necessary. However, Section 11 of the Child Act 2001 is the only provision as regards the advisor of the Court for Children in Malaysia. There are no other guidelines or regulations on the mechanism of execution of duties of the advisor, its appointments, and training requirements. Thus, this study aims to identify the issues and challenges relating to the position and roles of the advisor. An analysis is made of legal documents and academic journals. Semi-structured interviews were also conducted with the Social Welfare Department (JKM), Ministry of Women, Family and Community Development (KPWKM), Legal Affairs Division (BHEUU), Prime Minister Department (JPM), and five Children Court advisors (who are representing the urban and rural areas). The study found that the Children Court advisor was recognized in 1947 via the Juvenile Court Act 1947. However, there are several issues and challenges to be addressed including the jurisdiction, governance structure, a mechanism of execution of duties, appointment criteria, the appointment process, modules, and training for Children Court advisors. The absence of guidelines, specific regulations, or manuals has limited the functions and roles of the Children Court advisor. This study suggests a better legal framework for the Children Court advisors to increase their credibility and professionalism.

SHOULD QUALITY OF LIFE BE A CONSIDERATION TO OPERATE LARGE VENTRAL HERNIAS: A PROSPECTIVE STUDY
Authors: Diamond Aslam Baba , Singhal Vikas , Singh Amanjeet , Perwaiz Azhar , Chaudhary Adarsh
Published: July 2021

Context: Advances in Abdominal Wall Reconstruction including abdominal component separation techniques have
enabled repair of complex ventral hernias whereas patients may have been denied surgery earlier. Traditionally the
reason to operate ventral hernias has been the risk of strangulation. Something that is under studied is the effect of
complex ventral hernias on Quality of Life (QoL) and how does it change after surgery.Whether techniques that require
division of abdominal wall components impair abdominal wall function and consequently affect QoL is not determined.
Aim:To assess the change in QOL at three months after surgery and compare it to the QOL immediately before surgery.
Apart from the primary outcome of change in QOL, short term complications were also studied.A subgroup analysis of
change in QOL after component separation technique was also done
Settings and Design:A prospective analysis was carried out on consecutive patients undergoing open complex ventral
hernia surgery over two-year period at our institution,a tertiary care hospital.
Methods and Material:Patients with complex ventral hernias including those with hernia defect diameter more than 6
cm, recurrent hernia, multiple Swiss cheese defects, or patients requiring abdominal component separation were
studied. Patients requiring emergency surgery and laparoscopic surgeries were excluded from study. The “HerniaRelated Quality-of-Life Survey”(HerQLes) which is a validated instrument was used.
Statistical analysis used: After sample size estimation by a statistician forty-five consecutive patients meeting the
study criteria between April 2017 and March 2019 were included in the study.Statistical analyses were done using SPSS
version 24 software.
Results:Of the 45 patients enrolled in the study,19 (42.2%) required abdominal component separation.The mean size of
2
the defect was 130 cm in component separation (CS) group and 39.0 cm2 in non-component separation (NCS) group.
The mean preoperative QoL score in CS group was 53.9±11.2, while in the NCS group it was 45.7±13.6. QoL score
postoperatively in CS group was 16.4±4, while in NCS group it was 13.8±1.5. There was a statistically significant
improvement in QoL three months after surgery in both the groups (p-0.0001).
Conclusion: In our study we found complex ventral hernias to be associated with a poor Quality of Life.The Quality of
Life was seen to improve significantly within three months after surgery.Use of a component separation technique does
not seem to impair the Quality of life.
UHI SPATIO-TEMPORAL ANALYSIS WITH GEOSPATIAL TECHNIQUES: A CASE OF AHMEDABAD CITY.
Authors: Rawal Darshana , Gupta Vishal
Published: July 2021

Spatio-temporal changes in land use land cover (LULC) have been relevant factors in causing the changes in Urban Heat
Island (UHI) pattern across rural and urban areas all over the world. Studies conducted have shown that the relation
between LULC on scale of the UHI can be an important factor assessing the condition not only for a country but for
environment of a city also. Over the years it is reflected in health of vegetation and urbanization pattern of cities. As the
thermal remote sensing has been evolved, the measurement of the temperature through satellite products has
become possible. Thermal data derived through remote sensing gives us birds-eye-view to see how the thermal data
varies in the entire city.
In this study such relations are shown over Ahmedabad city of India for the period of 2007 to 2020 using Landsat series
satellite data. Land Surface Temperature (LST) is calculated using Google Earth Engine Platform Surface Brightness
Temperature for Landsat data and using Radiative Transfer Equation for Landsat data. LST is correlated with land use
land cover mainly Built-up, Vegetation, Barren land, Water & Other and corresponding Land Use and Land Cover
respectively, and it is found that LST is positively related with all indices except for Normalize Difference Vegetation
Index (NDVI) with strong negative correlation and R 2 of 0.51.
THE ONSET OF ATRIAL FIBRILLATION AFTER IMPLANTATION OF MITRACLIP FOR MITRAL REGURGITATION: A CASE REPORT
Authors: Agarwal Mehak , Arjundas Deepak
Published: July 2021

BACKGROUND: Mitraclip procedure is an effective and minimally invasive approach for mitral regurgitation in
patients of advanced age and high risk to surgical intervention. Even though it is approved by USFDA for the treatment of
high-risk patients with primary mitral regurgitation (MR), complications like atrial fibrillation have been observed. The
primary objective of this case report is to bring to notice the incidence of atrial fibrillation after mitraclip implantation.
CASE REPORT: A 78-year-old patient with multiple co-morbidities like systemic hypertension, peripheral neuropathy,
etc. presented with severe chest pain and found to have severe MR, severe pulmonary arterial hypertension, normal left
ventricular function, an ejection fraction of 68% and was planned for mitraclip implantation procedure. A week after the
mitraclip procedure, the patient was presented with atrial fibrillation.
DISCUSSION: Thus there is a possibility of side effects such as atrial arrhythmias, and this can also alter the mortality rates.
The occurrence of atrial fibrillation should be kept in mind and necessary precautions should be taken to prevent it.
“ENHANCING TELMESARTAN BY USING SOLID DISPERSION TECHNIQUES”
Authors: Shakya Praveen Kumar , Kumar Sanjesh , Singh Mansi , Savita Savita
Published: July 2021

Telmisartan (TLM) is an angiotensin II receptor antagonist used in the treatment of hypertension. Telmesartan (TLM) is an
orally active direct-acting Angiotensin1receptor antagonist and possess therapeutic potential in the pharmacotherapy of
hypertension. Telmisartan is classified as a class II medicine by the BCS (biopharmaceutical categorization system), and it is
nearly insoluble in water, with a low solubility profile and poor absorption. Drugs with poor aqueous solubility are still an
ongoing challenge in the successful formulation of therapeutic products due to their low oral bioavailability. Solid
dispersions are a dispersion mixture of one or more active ingredients in an inert carrier at the solid state prepared by
melting, solvent, solvent-melting or other methods. Cyclodextrins(CDs) with their cylinder-shaped cavities are capable to
form inclusion complexes with a wide range of commonly used drugs. Complexation of molecules to CDs occurs through a
non-covalent interaction between the molecule and the CD cavity. This is a dynamic process whereby the guest molecule
continuously associates and dissociates from the host CD. The present study is to improve the solubility of Telmisartan by
solid dispersion techniques using various methods and proved to be effective for further pharmaceutical usage.

Published: July 2021

The relationship between psoriasis and increased cancer risk is debated.The aim of this study was to evaluate if there is
an increase in the background risk of cancer in psoriasis patients compared with the general population.There was a
large heterogeneity in studies assessing cancer risk in psoriasis preventing from including all studies in meta-analysis.
This systematic literature review shows a small increased risk of some solid cancers in psoriasis,especially those linked
to alcohol drinking and cigarette smoking. A higher risk of non-melanoma skin cancers, especially squamous cell
carcinoma, is shown, mainly due to previous exposure to 8-methoxypsoralen-ultraviolet-A (PUVA), ciclosporin and
possibly methotrexate

Authors: Parate Smita , Nimje Shalvin
Published: July 2021

The growing population of COVID-19 survivors in second wave represents a clear challenge to clinicians and
researchers to look beyond the search for a cure and to address the multifaceted needs of those living with and beyond
diagnosis. Common complications that disrupt the psychosocial, physical aspects of life and multi systemic
complication for adult. COVID-19 survivors after primary treatment include: fatigue, neurological, cardiovascular,
hepatic impairment,ocular,dermatological manifestation,Oral manifestation,acute pancreatitis,musculoskeletal,renal
and reproductory system complications.
Psychosocial interventions,particularly group-based interventions,physical activity programs, continuous monitoring
and prompt treatment have shown great promise in improving these outcomes.Future research will identify even bettertargeted, more efficacious, and more cost effective medication and vaccination policy to counter COVID-19 outcomes.
Healthcare providers must realize that they serve as vital gatekeepers to services that will help optimize outcomes.
Addressing these issues in the post-treatment period represents the new challenge to supportive care.
