Electrochemical Studies on Corrosion Resistance of Coatings Based on Polyaniline and Silica Gel
Authors: Soumya C.C. , George K.E. , Narayanankutty Sunil K.
Published: November 2021

Organic acid doped polyaniline (PANI), hybrid with silica gel (SiG) and composites with metal primer have been prepared by chemical oxidative polymerization of double-distilled aniline in an acidic medium at 0-5 °C in an ice bath using ammonium persulphate as oxidant and p-toluene sulphonic acid (p-TSA) as the dopant. The anticorrosive property of PANI coatings containing alkyd primer, zinc chromate and silica gel was investigated. The coatings were characterized by FTIR spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The corrosion studies were carried out in a 3.5 wt% NaCl solution. On introduction of SiG, PANI, and PANI-SiG hybrid, the corrosion current decreased from 0.03626 μA to 0.007856 μA, 0.02042 μA, and 0.011 μA, respectively. The penetration rates calculated in mm/yr. for the composites: SiG/Primer, PANI/Primer and PANI-SiG/Primer were 0.430× 10-4, 1.110× 10-4, and 0.599 × 10-4, respectively and that of neat primer was 1.977 × 10-4. The corrosion protection efficiency of the primer was improved up to 7% on introduction of the PANI-based fillers. The 5 wt% of 1:1 PANI-SiG/primer composite, which contains 2.5wt% of PANI, showed better results than that of 5wt% PANI in Primer and these results are very close to that of 5wt% SiG/Primer composites.
Characterization of Electrical Parameters of Copper Phthalocyanine Based Organic Electronic Device in Presence of Fullerene Nanoparticles
Authors: Sen Sudipta , Manik Nabin Baran
Published: November 2021

Characterization of electrical parameters of Copper Phthalocyanine dye has been done in the present work. In the context of electrical parameters, the Schottky barrier and ideality factor of the organic device has been measured and the effects of fullerene nanoparticles on these parameters have been studied. Analysis of electrical parameters has been done by the current-voltage characteristics of the device. The influence of fullerene nanoparticles lessens the Schottky barrier to 0.71 eV from 0.75 eV. The current flow is assumed to be injection limited as the Schottky barrier is greater than 0.3 eV - 0.4 eV. The Schottky barrier is also estimated by the Norde method. Norde's method shows lessening of barrier height from 0.70 eV to 0.65 eV under the influence of fullerene nanoparticles. The measured ideality factor value reduces from 3.787 to 1.495 in presence of fullerene nanoparticles. The charge injection mechanism at metal-organic contact gets influenced by the interfacial Schottky barrier height. Decrease in both Schottky barrier and ideality factor attribute to the increase in charge flow and it allows a reduction in the device’s transition voltage from 2.5 V to 1.0 V.
Mn4+ Activated Deep Red Emitting Perovskite Type Phosphors for Horticulture Lighting
Authors: Khurram Muhammad , Baur Florian , Juestel Thomas
Published: November 2021

Red emitting Mn4+ doped oxides are a promising class of materials to improve the colour rendering and luminous efficacy of phosphor-converted light-emitting diodes (pcLEDs). For pcLEDs, the optical properties are crucial w.r.t commercial acceptance. In this work, luminescence spectra and decay curves of Sr2YNbO6, Sr2YTaO6 and Sr2LaNbO6 have been recorded, other Mn4+ doped phosphors show that quenching occurs through thermally activated crossover between the 4T2 excited state and 4A2 ground state. The quenching temperature can be optimized by designing the host lattice in which Mn4+ has a high 4T2 state energy. The main target is to study the influence of the above-mentioned host materials on the emission spectra, PL quenching, and quantum yield of the deep red Mn4+ ion. The present study provides detailed insights into temperature and concentration quenching of Mn4+ emission and can be used to realize superior narrow-band red Mn4+ phosphors for horticultural lighting.

Published: November 2021

This study was carried out to measure some physical and mechanical properties of the sunflower seeds variety “DW667”. The physical properties (length, width, thickness, equivalent diameter, sphericity, surface area of seed, one thousand seed mass, bulk and true density, porosity) and mechanical properties (compressive load and displacement deformation for vertical and horizontal orientations) were measured at 4%, 10%, 15%, 20% and 25% Dray basis (d.b.) moisture contents. Higher moisture content from 4%to25% increased length, width, thickness, equivalent diameter, sphericity, surface area of seed, one thousand seed mass, bulk and true density, porosity and deformation displacement at the vertical and horizontal orientations of seeds increased from 10.57 to , 4.50 to , 2.85 to , 5.13 to , 49 to 50 %, 82.95 to 94.53 mm2, 33.70 to , 286.80 to 314.98 kg/m3, 406.47 to 483.61 kg/m3, 29.22 to 34.54 %, 1.63 to 2.63 mm and 0.70 to 1.87 mm, respectively. While the required compressive force for rupture seeds decreased from 25.3 to 12.39 N and 11.5 to 5.63 N for vertical and horizontal orientations, respectively with moisture contents uprising from 4 to 25 %. The findings of this study will open new windows in farm mechanization for the designing and improvement of treatment machines for this type of seed.
La RU486 tra legge 194 e nuove linee di indirizzo sulla interruzione volontaria di gravidanza con Mifepristone e prostaglandine
Authors: Casini Marina
Published: November 2021

L’articolo prende spunto dalla recente relazione del Ministro della Salute “sulla attuazione della legge contenente norme per la tutela sociale della maternità e per l’interruzione volontaria di gravidanza (legge 194/78). Dati definitivi 2019 e dati preliminari 2020”, pubblicata il 16 settembre 2021. Alla luce di questo documento, l’Autrice riporta i termini del dibattito riguardante le “linee di indirizzo sulla interruzione volontaria di gravidanza con mifepristone e prostaglandine”, pubblicate dal Ministero della Salute il 12 agosto 2020, e con le quali sono cambiate le modalità di esecuzione dell’aborto farmacologico mediante RU486 in Italia. Esse sono conformi alla normativa sull’aborto o la violano? Una risposta adeguata richiede l’esame delle correnti ideologiche presenti nella legge 194: abortismo radicale, collettivizzante e umanitario. L’Autrice ritiene che se guardiamo la lettera della legge non vi è dubbio che le nuove linee di indirizzo contrastano con la legge 194 soprattutto per quanto riguarda il coinvolgimento dei consultori, ma nello stesso tempo non si può ignorare il fatto che nella legge 194 è già presente nascostamente la cultura radicale che si manifesta palesemente nelle linee di indirizzo ministeriali. In ogni caso il dibattito sollevato sulle modalità di somministrazione della RU486 introdotte nell’agosto del 2020 è un’occasione importante per ricordare che in gioco c’è il diritto alla vita dei bambini non nati e la tutela della salute, fisica e psichica, delle donne.

Enhancing Reasoning with the Extension Rule in CDCL SAT Solvers
Authors: Konan Tchinda Rodrigue , Tayou Djamegni Clémentin
Published: November 2021

The extension rule first introduced by G. Tseitin is a simple but powerful rule that, when added to resolution, leads to an exponentially stronger proof system known as extended resolution (ER). Despite the outstanding theoretical results obtained with ER, its exploitation in practice to improve SAT solvers' efficiency still poses some challenging issues. There have been several attempts in the literature aiming at integrating the extension rule within CDCL SAT solvers but the results are in general not as promising as in theory. An important remark that can be made on these attempts is that most of them focus on reducing the sizes of the proofs using the extended variables introduced in the solver. We adopt in this work a different view. We see extended variables as a means to enhance reasoning in solvers and therefore to give them the ability of reasoning on various semantic aspects of variables. Experiments carried out on the 2018 and 2020 SAT competitions' benchmarks show the use of the extension rule in CDCL SAT solvers to be practically beneficial for both satisfiable and unsatisfiable instances.

La règle d'extension introduite pour la première fois par G. Tseitin est une règle simple mais puissante qui, ajoutée à la résolution, conduit à un système de preuves plus puissant appelé résolution étendue (ER). Malgré les résultats théoriques remarquables obtenus avec ER, son exploitation pratique pour améliorer l'efficacité des solveurs SAT pose encore quelques problèmes. Plusieurs tentatives visant à intégrer la règle d'extension aux solveurs CDCL SAT existent dans la littérature, mais les résultats ne sont en général pas aussi prometteurs qu'en théorie. Une remarque importante à faire sur ces tentatives est qu'elles se concentrent pour la plupart sur la réduction de la taille des preuves à l'aide des variables étendues introduites dans le solveur. Nous adoptons dans ce travail un point de vue différent. Nous considérons les variables étendues comme un moyen d'améliorer le raisonnement dans les solveurs et donc de leur donner la capacité de raisonner sur différents aspects sémantiques des variables. Les expérimentations réalisées sur les instances tirées des compétition SAT 2018 et 2020 montrent que l'utilisation de la règle d'extension dans les solveurs CDCL est bénéfique aussi bien pour les instances satisfiables que celles insatisfiables.
Neoliberal governmentality, knowledge work, and thumos
Authors: Hofmeyr Benda
Published: November 2021

Research has shown that the knowledge worker, the decisive driver of the knowledge economy, works increasingly longer hours. In fact, it would appear that instead of working to live, they live to work. There appears to be three reasons for this living-to-work development. First, the knowledge worker ‘has to’ on account of the pressure to become ever more efficient. Such pressure translates into internalized coercion in the case of the self-responsible knowledge worker. Secondly, working is constant, because the Internet and smart technologies and mobile devices have made it ‘possible’. It gives the worker the capacity and management omnipotent control. In the final instance, the neoliberal knowledge worker works all the time because s/he paradoxically ‘wants to’. It is a curious phenomenon, because this compulsive working is concomitant with a rise of a host of physical, emotional, and psychological disorders as well as the erosion of social bonds. The paradox is exacerbated by the fact that the knowledge worker does not derive any of the usual utilities or satisfactions associated with hard work. Elsewhere I have ascribed this apparent contradiction at the heart of the living-to-work phenomenon to the invisible thumotic satisfaction generated by knowledge work. In the present article, I argue that neoliberal governmentality has found a way to tether thumos directly to the profit incentive. I draw on Foucault’s 1978-1979 Collége de France lecture course in which he analysed neoliberal governmentality with specific emphasis on the work of the neoliberal theorist of human capital, Gary Becker.
Academic discipline of economics as hedonist philosophy
Authors: Cardão-Pito Tiago
Published: November 2021

Contemporary mainstream economics cannot be seen as disconnected from philosophical concerns. On the contrary, it should be understood as a defence for a specific philosophy, namely, crude quantitative hedonism where money would measure pleasure and pain. Disguised among a great mathematical apparatus involving utility functions, supply, and demand, lies a specific hedonist philosophy that every year is lectured to thousands of economic and business students around the world. This hedonist philosophy is much less sophisticated than that in ancient hedonist philosophers as Epicurus or Lucretius. Furthermore, it does not solve any of the systematic difficulties regularly faced by hedonist philosophy. However, the argument that economics is detached from philosophy works as a rhetorical artifice to protect its dominant underlying philosophy: Philosophical disputes would have to be addressed within the biased mathematical apparatus of quantitative hedonism. Economists and business students must learn to identify the underlying philosophy in mainstream economics and alternative philosophical systems.

3 BOYUTLU YAZICILARIN MODA AKSESUARLARI ÜRETİMİNDE KULLANILMASI
Authors: CAN Özgün , ARABACI Hülya
Published: November 2021

3 boyutlu (3B) yazıcıların kullanımı her geçen gün yaygınlaşmaktadır. Moda ve tekstil endüstrisinde de 3B yazıcılar kullanılabilmektedir. Giysileri daha kullanışlı, verimli ve çekici hale getirmek için giysiye ilave edilen veya bedene takılan parçalar moda aksesuarı olarak tanımlanmaktadır. Yapılan bu çalışmada moda aksesuarları üretiminde 3B yazıcıların kullanılabilirliği hakkında uygulama çalışmaları yapılmıştır. Bunun için moda aksesuarlarının tarihsel gelişimi ve kullanım alanları incelenmiş ve çanta, yelpaze, saat, gözlük, ayakkabı ve kemer tokası ile bilezik gibi takı ve aksesuar tasarımları yapılmıştır. Yapılan bu tasarımlar için AutoCAD ve CorelDRAW vektörel çizim programları ve lithoplane yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Yapılan tasarımlar 3B yazıcıda üretilmiştir. Üretim esnasında karşılaşılan problemler ve çözüm önerileri de sunulmuştur. Ayrıca bu çalışmada, yapılan tasarımların boyutlarına bağlı olarak 3B yazıcıda üretim için oldukça uzun sürelere ihtiyaç olduğu görülmüştür. Bununla birlikte tasarım, malzeme veya makineden kaynaklanan hatalı üretimler ve 3B yazıcının kalibrasyonu gibi atık süreler nedeniyle toplam üretim süresi daha da artmıştır. Yapılan bu çalışma ile birlikte 3B yazıcılar kullanılarak kişiye özgü moda aksesuarları üretiminin mümkün olduğu görülmüştür. Her ne kadar harcanan süre göz önüne alındığında bu üretim yönteminin pratik olmadığı düşünülse de gelişen teknoloji ile birlikte yakın gelecekte 3B yazıcılar kullanılarak daha kısa sürelerde ve yapılan tüm tasarımların üretimin kolayca yapılabileceği öngörülmektedir.

Published: November 2021

Lower-income and disadvantaged people, who suffer the most from climate change and pollution, can benefit most from protection and clean solutions but face the greatest barriers to access the gains of climate policies and are disproportionately affected by their cost. Like any other policy, climate actions are designed in the context of socioeconomic and power structures that produce inequality. A just transition and the promise to “leave no one behind” require moving beyond a mere focus on social co-benefits to empower and prioritize underserved groups proactively. Experience shows that the systemic changes needed for a carbon-neutral and resilient society can be used to provide fairer opportunities for all and reduce social injustice. Enhancing ambition and equity in climate plans are two imperatives of social justice that should go hand in hand. In the wake of the COVID-19 crisis, which disproportionately affects vulnerable groups, this joint approach is needed more than ever.

Authors: Setio Budi
Published: November 2021

Perkembangan ilmu pengetahuan memberikan perubahan begitu besar bagi manusia. Salah satunya dengan adanya teknologi digital. Keberadaan teknologi tersebut nampaknya dimanfaatkan banyak orang untuk media menafsirkan Alquran dengan cepat dan mudah tanpa ada syarat tertentu. Hal ini berbanding terbalik dengan zaman klasik yang sangat mensakralkan Alquran. Artinya bahwa kegiatan menafsirkan Alquran tidak boleh dilakukan kalau tidak mempunyai kapasitas dan kapabilitas yang mumpuni. Sedangkan untuk  menjadi seorang penafsir sangatlah sulit karena banyaknya syarat-syarat yang harus dipenuhi serta mempunyai keahlian khusus mengenai ilmu tafsir. Syarat tersebut digunakan karena akan berdampak pada hasil penafsiran. maka dari itu tulisan ini akan membahas lebih dalam mengenai implementasi syarat-syarat mufassir di era digital, apakah syarat-syarat tersebut bisa diterapkan di zaman sekarang atau bahkan bertolak belakang dengan kode etik yang telah ditetapkan oleh ulama-ulama terdahulu. Penelitian ini termasuk jenis penelitian kualitatif, anlisisnya menggunakan deskiptif analisis dengan data kepustakaan. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa; impelementasi syarat-syarat mufasir di era digital ini sama saja dengan kualifikasi syarat-syarat mufassir yang telah dirumuskan oleh ulama terdahulu. Kemudian ditambah kemampuan “melek teknologi”, termasuk melek teknologi digital. Namun, melek teknologi disini tidak termasuk dalam syarat-syarat mufassir, melek teknologi hanya sebagai wadah dan jalan, agar cakupan ilmu semakin luas. Selain itu untuk menerapakan teknologi digital maka perlu adanya kolaborasi dengan ahli IT.

Las habilidades blandas, clave del éxito en la formación de líderes digitales intermediarios de empresas comerciales multinivel
Authors: Armas Gómez Rosalinda , Nava Pozos Maribel , Cruz García María Guadalupe
Published: November 2021

Debido a la pandemia registrada en el 2020, la economía mexicana fue afectada de forma total: tanto los negocios establecidos como los informales se vieron en la necesidad de cerrar sus puertas. Sin embargo, el mercadeo a través de internet generó una opción viable, principalmente para mujeres que han logrado establecer contacto de manera virtual y vincular, por una parte, la nueva cultura laboral con puntos de venta regionales y, ¿por qué no?, internacionales. Las habilidades tecnológicas van tomando auge en cuanto al mercado multinivel, de tal manera que podrá considerarse como una de las aportaciones en el tema de creatividad en la venta directa. El principal hallazgo que se encuentra en esta investigación preliminar es la ausencia de formación digital para interactuar con sus colaboradoras y clientes potenciales, así como innovar en el proceso de venta directa.

AbstractDue to the pandemic registered in 2020, Mexican economies were completely affected: established as well as informal businesses were faced with the necessity to close their doors. Nevertheless, marketing through internet generated a viable option, mainly for women who have achieved to establish virtual contacts and link, on one hand, to a new work culture within regional point-of-sales and why not, within international sales. Technological skills are gathering momentum regarding multi-level marketing, so much so, that it could be considered as one of the contributions focused on the subject of creativity in direct sales. Our main finding within this preliminary research is the absence of digital development to interact with collaborators and potential customers as well as innovating direct sales processes.
Burnout Knowledge of Female Nurses during the COVID-19 Pandemic: Study at dr. Agoesdjam Hospital in Ketapang Regency, Indonesia
Authors: Arkanudin Arkanudin , Rupita Rupita
Published: November 2021

The COVID-19 pandemic has hit Indonesia where the worrying situation has affected almost every all-region in Indonesia, including West Kalimantan. One of the referral hospitals for the case of COVID-19 in West Kalimantan is RSUD dr. Agoesdjam is the only one referral hospital in the Ketapang Regency area. This makes a critical situation, considering that Ketapang Regency is very large and there is only one referral hospital. The problem that arises later is the number of patients from various regions who come to check themselves at RSUD dr. Agoesdjam Ketapang, where this hospital has a limited number of doctors and health workers. This causes job burnout for health workers, where they have to work extra in monitoring and handling patients regularly in their work environment. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach with an exploration of primary and secondary data. Primary data refers to the interview results while secondary data comes from journal searches and online media coverage. Based on the results and discussion in this study, it can be concluded that the COVID-19 situation in RSUD dr. Agoesdjam is quite worrying so that it increases the alertness of the hospital, in this case, the job burnout of health workers is increasing. The duties and responsibilities of nurses are a priority in handling COVID-19 patients and this case raises fear, worry, and energy burden and thoughts for health workers, especially nurses at RSUD dr. Agoesdjam Ketapang. Furthermore, the job burnout experienced by nurses in dealing with the COVID-19 situation is work overload, poor performance, fatigue, and reduced alertness because they are overshadowed by anxiety and worry.

Authors: Smit Elizabeth Ivy
Published: November 2021

Background

Child sexual abuse and incest are the worst crimes and offences against children and the vulnerable in the society.  These have continued to plague South African communities and a major social issue for social workers.  The study drew from previous findings on psycho-social effects of father-daughter incest which was conducted in fulfilment of a Masters studies.  As well as how it affected the offender and the family.

Objectives and Purpose of the study

The study attempted to understand how incest manifest within and across nations, how the family is affected and what role it plays in an incestuous relationship as well the sanctioning of such social abomination. Social Work intervention is also scrutinize particularly in support of the family.

Methods

The study emanates from a Masters research undertaken where qualitative approach was utilized to determine psycho social effects of incest.  This piece of work looked at the prevalence and nature of incest, theoretical framework in respect of incest as well as South African punitive measures on child sexual abuse and incest. These were discussed as themes with subthemes.
Street earnings as a mediator of the effect of intellectual capital disclosure, customer value, and research development activities on firm value
Authors: Pane Zulfikar Ikhsan , Sembel Roy , Agustine Yvonne
Published: November 2021

This study is driven by the phenomenon of earnings indicators that can mislead investors due to managers' personal interests. As a result, investors would seek alternative earnings through analysts serving as intermediaries, referred to as street earnings. Street earnings are considered more predictive, informative, and more likely to be used to assess firm value. Furthermore, non-financial information from the corporation can affect street earnings. As a result, this study attempts to determine whether street earnings affect firm value while also determining whether it can mediate the relationship between non-financial information on firms with firm value. This analysis makes use of 392 observations from manufacturing firms between 2015 and 2020. SPSS 25 and the Sobel test are used to conduct data analysis. One of the three hypothesis is proven, namely that research and development activities directly and indirectly affect street earnings and firm value. If street earnings can moderate the relationship between the two variables, this conclusion is also supported by the Sobel test.
Capital and sustainability on performance: The Mediating Effect of Governance
Authors: Laurens Sebastianus , Murwaningsari Etty
Published: November 2021

This article is to analyze the impact of intellectual capital and triple bottom line toward the dependent variable, using governance as moderating variable in order to strengthen the impact or otherwise. Current research regarding to this topic has grown broadly. Nevertheless, just a few researchers imply the whole component of the Good Corporate Governance as their moderating variable. This research utilizes the entire component (TARIF) in conjunction with the intellectual capital index, three bottom line indexes with ROA and number of awards, all these disclosures are essentials for this research. Gathering all the companies who publishes their sustainability report on their company website showed that there are limited resources to analyze. The results of this research demonstrated that triple bottom line does not impact both dependent variables; meanwhile intellectual capital has an impact to the non-financial performance. Governance showed that this variable has no role as a moderating variable to the effect of both dependent variables. The implication of this research is the companies should focus on intellectual capital to promote company’s performance and longevity.
Dr. Bhim Rao Ambedkar’s Views on Social Justice: An Appraisal
Authors: Bragta Sanjeev Kumar
Published: November 2021

Baba Sahib Bhim Rao Ambedkar views on social justice are the very basis of the Indian Constitution. The social justice means providing equal social opportunities to everyone to develop their personalities, associated with equality and social rights. In every state it becomes important to secure a social order based on justice and creating an equal opportunity available to everyone. Mostly, the people are being treated with discrimination in size, color, caste, religion, race in the society because of they are mostly uneducated and from marginalized sections of the society that creates a social disorder and inequality among them. Hence, the need of the social justice is an inevitable and is the only weapon to prosper the people towards their active participation in the development and mainstream of the society. However, it becomes important to establish an egalitarian social, economic and political order in diverse society like India. It’s in this backdrop the article tries to explore the concept of social justice and Ambedkar view on it. How far Ambedkar’s reflection is visible in Indian Constitution and its relevance in the present times.
Alone-Together Mediation in Correlation between Social Media Usage and Face-to-Face Communication of Millennials
Authors: Setiadi Esseline , Alqadri Andi Ilman , Devitoyani Seruni Rami
Published: November 2021

The existence of social media has currently become a communication phenomenon, specifically occurring to millennials which is argued to allow Alone-Together to develop. Alone-Together is a phenomenon where a social media user loses focus of his or her surroundings thus concurrently distracting his or her face-to-face communication. This quantitative research was conducted in Indonesia through observation to millennials who were social media users of Facebook, Twitter and Instagram with age distribution ranging from 23 – 38 years old. S-O-R method was employed to reveal the correlation between social media and face-to-face communication mediated by Alone-Together. The result revealed that there was a correlation between social media usage with Alone-Together behavior and the influence of Alone-Together attitude toward face-to-face communication. However, no correlation was found between social media and face-to-face communication therefore it is concluded that this research is fully mediated. In addition to that, this research is expected to provide more contribution to further studies related to supporting variables in the current existence of social media, promoting the benefits of using social media, identifying limits which need further control in using social media and mitigating the impacts inflicted to their users.

Purpose: To determine socio-demographic characteristics associated with health-related quality of life among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus at Tenwek hospital.

Methodology: This was an analytic cross -sectional study that was done among patients with diabetes mellitus type 2 attending outpatient clinics at Tenwek Hospital. Quantitative approach was used in data collection. Systematic sampling was used to determine 227 participants who participated in the study. Quantitative data was analyzed using descriptive statistics (mean) and Inferential statistics were done using One-Way ANOVA and Factorial ANOVA. Using One-Way ANOVA, p value was used to show whether the difference between the mean is statistically significant. Factorial ANOVA was used to give a summary of the results by bring all the variables and testing their association with the overall health related quality of life (HRQoL) 

Findings: Age group, education level and religion were associated with overall health related quality of life with (F = 19.9, p < 0.0001; F = 3.94, p = 0.05; F = 9.46, p = 0.002, respectively). Gender, marital status and occupation were not associated with overall health related quality of life.

Unique contribution to theory, practice and policy:  This study has identified socio-demographic characteristics associated with health-related quality of life among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. The findings will provide insight to the hospital administration to come up with interventions for creating awareness in the community and identifying cases of type 2 diabetes early so as to save victims at an early stage of disease progression and to prevent development of complications and comorbidities. Also, multi-disciplinary team assessment of HRQoL among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus early in disease course or as soon as they are diagnosed will help to identify modifiable factors that may help the patient lead an active and healthy life. The study will also establish baseline information for future studies on health- related quality of life and associated factors among patients with diabetes mellitus type 2 at the study site. This study recommends reassessment and expansion of Wilson–Cleary model of health-related quality of life.

Introdução: A tireoide é uma glândula localizada na parte anterior do pescoço tendo como comum o surgimento de nodulações, sendo geralmente recomendada a sua ressecção quase sempre que completa, com a alcunha de tireoidectomia total. Este procedimento cirúrgico pode ser sucedido de alguns efeitos colaterais temporários ou definitivos que influenciam na qualidade de vida dos pacientes. Objetivo: Este trabalho teve como objetivo realizar uma revisão bibliométrica e sistemática da literatura com o intuito de expor os impactos da tireoidectomia total na qualidade de vida de pacientes que foram submetidos à cirurgia. Métodos: Tratou-se de uma revisão sistemática da literatura com abordagem bibliométrica que teve como objetivo mapear a produção cientifica de 1992 a 2019 acerca do tema proposto, sendo identificados 53 artigos sobre Tireoidectomia e seus efeitos colaterais. Resultados: Dos 53 totais, após uma revisão sistemática e criteriosa, foram excluídos 38 artigos e incluídos 15. Discussão: Observou-se que a remoção da tireoide e suas terapias complementares de fato podem ser sucedidas de efeitos colaterais que impactam tanto no pós-cirúrgico, como na qualidade de vida do paciente, tendo como mais comuns, o hipotireoidismo, hipoparatireoidismo, hipocalcemia e a lesão do nervo laríngeo recorrente. Conclusão: Associada à tireoidectomia total, quase sempre temos a terapia com radioiodo, esta por sua vez, também é dotada dos seus efeitos colaterais, tendo como principal algumas alterações nas glândulas salivares, com enfoque na xerostomia, concluindo-se finalmente que a produção cientifica acerca desse assunto ainda escassa e de suma importância para agregar conhecimento à pesquisadores e profissionais da saúde.

Hội chứng không nhạy cảm Androgen (Androgen insensitivity syndrome: AIS) là nguyên nhân phổ biến nhất của rối loạn phát triển giới tính 46,XY. Cơ chế tác động của Androgen phức tạp nhưng cho đến nay chỉ có gen AR (Androgen receptor) là có liên quan đến hội chứng không nhạy cảm Androgen.

Mục tiêu: Mô tả đặc điểm kiểu hình của các bệnh nhân mắc hội chứng không nhạy cảm Androgen và phát hiện đột biến của gen AR ở các bệnh nhân này. Phương pháp: Nghiên cứu một loạt ca bệnh bao gồm 14 bệnh nhân của 10 gia đình riêng biệt mắc hội chứng không nhạy cảm Androgen.

Kết quả: Tuổi chẩn đoán từ 3 tháng đến 83 tuổi. 11/14 ca có kiểu hình của hội chứng không nhạy cảm hoàn toàn với Androgen (bộ phận sinh dục ngoài của nữ) và 3/14 ca mắc thể không nhạy cảm Androgen một phần nhưng nặng (thiên hướng nữ). Ba ca có hai tinh hoàn nằm ở vị trí hai môi lớn, 6 ca có hai tinh hoàn nằm ở ống bẹn hai bên và 1 ca có tinh hoàn nằm trong ổ bụng. Tám đột biến khác nhau của gen AR được phát hiện ở 10 bệnh nhân thuộc 8 gia đình khác nhau.

Kết luận: Các đột biến trên gen AR gây hội chứng không nhạy cảm Androgen giúp chẩn đoán xác định và góp phần hiểu rõ thêm về cơ chế phân tử của hội chứng không nhạy cảm hoàn toàn với Androgen. Kiểu hình thể không nhạy cảm hoàn toàn có tỷ lệ cao. Nghiên cứu với số lượng bệnh nhân lớn hơn là cần thiết và có giá trị trong chẩn đoán cũng như điều trị.

Habitar e mover-se pelo deserto que se torna cidade
Authors: Vidal e Souza Candice
Published: November 2021

O capítulo registra e analisa aspectos da experiência de viver e mover-se em dois bairros da Região Metropolitana de Belo Horizonte (RMBH), Água Limpa e Jardim Canadá. As mulheres são as personagens centrais de biografias que envolvem deslocamentos em busca de um lugar para morar e movimentos rotineiros para cumprir as demandas diárias do cuidado de si e de sua família. Entende-se que as formas de habitar as fronteiras urbanas devem ser compreendidas em conexão com as práticas de movimento que se realizam entre o lugar de partida da antiga residência e a nova morada em construção, mas também com a incessante agitação dos longos e pequenos trajetos diários. A ideia de habitar, portanto, é acionada no sentido de Tim Ingold, o que significa incluir o movimento. As narrativas sobre a transformação desses bairros localizados nas margens de uma rodovia federal de trânsito intenso apontam para modulações do movimento nas fronteiras urbanas.
Etnografando estradas e caminhos da "conquista": sobre a presença colonial e a gramática bolsonarista na Amazônia
Authors: Bemerguy Telma
Published: November 2021

Em uma perspectiva sensível a dimensão durável do colonialismo no mundo contemporâneo, no capítulo, buscarei explorar como as “promessas” de uma estrada, e as expectativas que estas movimentam, povoam o espaço-tempo dos trânsitos entre localidades cortadas pelas rodovias Cuiabá-Santarém e Transamazônica nos Estados do Pará e Mato Grosso. Abordando histórias registradas ao longo de minha pesquisa de doutorado ao longo/sobre d/essas estradas, apontarei como cálculos acerca da duração relativa de um deslocamento eram atravessados por “memórias coloniais enterradas”, onde a lembrança de um cotidiano marcado pela demora, a sensação do tempo perdido e a experiência do convívio com a deterioração têm adensado sentimentos de “frustração” e dado vazão a teorias racializadas de culpabilização, definindo um enredo que, recentemente, passou a se cruzar de diversas formas com a gramática bolsonarista dirigida à Amazônia e suas populações.
Determining if Lateral Imbalance Exists in First-order Branches Leading to a Potential Development of Torsional Stress
Authors: Dahle Gregory , Grabosky Jason
Published: November 2021

The management of urban trees requires an ability to appraise the stability of trees to select where and when a maintenance task is required to increase the functionally useful period of the tree. Torsion is often ignored during static bending trials and the goal of this study was to determine if first-order branches on open grown trees are laterally balanced. It is not known if lateral branch development leads to a parent branch that is evenly balanced. Second-order branch mass and center of gravity were measured and used to estimate the load acting on first-order branches. It appears that development can lead to imbalance in branches, because more than 60% of the firstorder branches were imbalanced. Furthermore, 80% of the first-order branches in this specific study had more loading to the left side of the branch. Researchers should consider whether it is appropriate to ignore torsion when predicting how branches will behave during loading exercises. Additionally, the data suggests that it is possible to develop a strong predictive equation between branch length and the center of gravity (r2 = 95%) which, tied with predicted branch mass, could be useful when modeling self-loading and later balance in branches.
Characterization of Physical, Gaseous, and Hydrologic Properties of Compacted Subsoil and its Effects on Growth and Transpiration of Two Maples Grown Under Greenhouse Conditions
Authors: Fair Barbara , Metzger James , Vent James
Published: November 2021

City foresters and horticulturists often seek trees suited for urban conditions. Two maples often used were selected to assess response to compacted soil: ‘Armstrong’ Freeman maple and ‘Brandywine’ red maple. Soil physical parameters were assessed to determine effects of high density on movement of gas and water. Rigid-walled lysimeters constructed from polyvinyl chloride pipe were filled with clay subsoil compacted to 1.64 g·cm-3 (MODERATE-density) and 1.78 g·cm-3 (HIGH-density). Compaction decreased total porosity and saturated hydraulic conductivity. In addition, CO2 concentrations in compacted soil were 5–18 times higher than atmospheric concentrations, while O2 concentrations were similar to atmospheric levels despite density. O2 concentration played no real role in plant growth response to compaction. Trees growing in MODERATE-density soils had higher transpiration rates than trees growing in HIGH-density soils, although differences decreased over time. A high soil density did not affect caliper growth, but did reduce annual height growth, leaf area and dry weight, and stem dry weight, but responses varied over time and between species. Root dry weight and volume were unaffected by compaction, but root:shoot ratio was higher for trees growing in HIGH-density soils, which is expected as aboveground biomass is typically reduced by soil compaction.
