Pendidikan Berbasis Kesetaraan Gender Di Provinsi Jawa Tengah
Authors: Roziqin Ali
Published: February 2020

Pada tahun 2030 Indonesia diprediksi akan memperoleh bonus demografi. Disisi lain diskriminasi dan keadilan belum terselesaikan di Negara ini, terutama pendidikan perempuan. Pendidikan merupakan media yang sangat ampuh untuk memperjuangkan hak-hak perempuan yang selama ini masih termarginalisasi. Usaha untuk meningkatkan pendidikan perempuan selama ini masih terbentur oleh beberapa hal seperti kebijakan publik yang belum pro terhadap kesetaraan dan keadilan gender. Terbatasnya akses pendidikan menyebabkan perempuan terperangkap pada keterbelakangan. Selain itu juga persepsi masyarakat dan tingginya budaya patriarki yang masih memandang sebelah mata terhadap perempuan. Meningkatnya akses pendidikan terhadap perempuan akan memberikan konstribusi positif dalam kesetaraan gender guna mempersiapkan generasi mendatang yang unggul khususnya di Provinsi Jawa Tengah.

Background and objectives

In the United States, intravenous vitamin D analogs are the first-line therapy for management of secondary hyperparathyroidism in hemodialysis patients. Outside the United States, oral calcitriol (1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3) is routinely used. We examined standard laboratory parameters of patients on in-center hemodialysis receiving intravenous vitamin D who switched to oral calcitriol.

Design, setting, participants, & measurements

We conducted a retrospective cohort study of adult patients treated within Fresenius Kidney Care clinics. During a 6-month period (December 2013 to May 2014), we identified patients on an intravenous vitamin D analog (doxercalciferol or paricalcitol) who switched to oral calcitriol and matched them to patients receiving an intravenous vitamin D analog. Mean serum calcium, phosphate, and intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH) concentrations were examined for up to 12 months of follow-up. We used Poisson and Cox proportional hazards regression models to examine hospitalization and survival rates. The primary analysis was conducted as intention-to-treat; secondary analyses included an as-treated evaluation.

Results

A total of 2280 patients who switched to oral calcitriol were matched to 2280 patients receiving intravenous vitamin D. Compared with patients on intravenous vitamin D, mean calcium and phosphate levels in the oral calcitriol group were lower after the change to oral calcitriol. In contrast, iPTH levels were higher in the oral calcitriol group. At 12 months, the percentage of patients with composite laboratories in target range (calcium <10 mg/dl, phosphate 3.0–5.5 mg/dl, and iPTH 150–600 pg/ml) were comparable between groups (45% versus 45%; P=0.96). Hospital admissions, length of hospital stay, and survival were comparable between groups. An as-treated analysis and excluding those receiving cinacalcet did not reveal significant between-group differences.

Conclusions

Among patients receiving in-center hemodialysis who were switched to oral calcitriol versus those on an intravenous vitamin D analog, the aggregate of all mineral and bone laboratory parameters in range was largely similar between groups.

Critical Challenges of Cultural Competence Professional Development
Authors: Sinclair Karen
Published: February 2020

Driven by increasing inequities in health, education and social outcomes for Aboriginal people, cultural competence professional development has become more commonplace in many organizations. There are hundreds, possibly thousands, of cultural awareness, cultural sensitivity, or cultural competence professional development workshops held throughout Australia each year. However, there is an uncertainty about whether some professional development approaches improve one’s knowledge, skills and attitudes towards diverse cultures. This article presents one of the key findings of a doctoral study which explored early years educators’ understandings of cultural competence and presents several viewpoints towards professional development. This article calls for approaches to professional development that move beyond passive transmission modes of learning towards localized, participatory models that encourage engagement with local community to privilege a diversity of voices and that also inspires critical self-reflection.

Published: February 2020

Tuberculosis is a global health problem, and there is even an increase in cases of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis in the world. Therefore, research is needed that can find new anti-tuberculosis drugs (OAT) that are more effective for tuberculosis treatment. In this study, the effect of (-)-epigallocatechin-gallate (EGCG) of tea leaves (Camellia sinensis) combined with the first-line OAT will be observed, in order to find out whether EGCG has anti-tuberculosis activity and can increase the potential of first-line OAT in-vitro. The anti-tuberculosis activity of EGCG was determined by broth dilution method using Middlebrook 7H9 media at concentration of 50, 100, 150, dan 200 ppm, then the potential of first-line OAT before and after combined with the EGCG was observed. The results showed that the activity of EGCG at concentration 50 ppm and 100 ppm could inhibit the Mycobacterium tuberculosis growth by 80%, at concentration 150 ppm by 90%, and at concentration 200 ppm by 100%. First-line OAT activity before combined with EGCG was ≥ 90% at 5 ppm rifampicin, 0.5 ppm isoniazid, 50 ppm pyrazinamide, and 5 ppm ethambutol. Whereas after combined with EGCG, the potential of each drug increased, marked by anti-tuberculosis activity achieved ≥ 90% at lower concentrations, i.e. rifampicin 0.5 ppm, isoniazid 0.25 ppm, pyrazinamide 20 ppm, and ethambutol 2 ppm. These results indicated that the potential of each first-line OAT increases after being combined with EGCG, and EGCG has potentiation effect when combined with those drugs. In conclusion, EGCG can increase the first-line OAT activity

Este trabalho teve como objetivo relatar, através de um relato de caso, os principais efeitos da utilização da hipnose na odontopediatria como prática complementar no controle do medo e ansiedade, em uma paciente com histórico negativo em atendimentos odontológicos. Paciente sexo feminino, 09 anos, leucoderma, compareceu à Clínica Integrada de Odontologia da FAMAM (CLIOF), queixando-se de dor de dente. Durante a anamnese, a responsável pela paciente relatou que a criança já havia tido no passado uma experiência com lesões cariosas, sendo necessária a realização de múltiplos procedimentos odontológicos invasivos, como exodontias e restaurações, resultando no desenvolvimento de trauma ao atendimento odontológico. No exame clínico e radiográfico foi observada lesão de cariosa no dente 64, sendo proposta a exodontia da unidade com uso de hipnose como ferramenta auxiliar no controle do medo e ansiedade. A paciente foi conduzida até uma sala na qual foi realizada a técnica hipnótica, para posterior realização do procedimento odontológico. Durante o procedimento, observou-se o comportamento positivo da paciente, que se manteve de olhos fechados, sem demonstrar sinais de inquietação. Diante dos resultados obtidos, pode-se afirmar que a utilização da hipnose foi, neste caso, uma técnica eficaz no controle do medo e da ansiedade.

A cada dia, mais precocemente, os adolescentes vêm iniciando suas atividades sexuais, o que pode levar a uma gravidez não planejada. Este estudo teve como objetivo analisar as estratégias desenvolvidas por enfermeiras da atençãobásicaquantoàprevençãodagravideznaadolescênciaemummunicípiodoRecôncavodaBahia. Trata- se de um estudo descritivo com abordagem qualitativa, realizado com 15 enfermeiras atuantes na atenção básica do município. A técnica de coleta de dados foi a entrevista individual semi-estruturada. Os dados foram analisados através da análise de conteúdo de Minayo. O resultado do estudo mostrou que as principais estratégias para prevenção da gravidez na adolescência é a dispensação de métodos contraceptivos, o que põe em evidência a falta de ações como sala de espera, palestras e atividades de sensibilização individuais no cotidiano da atenção básica. A captação de adolescentes para consultas ocorre na sua maior parte por busca ativa com os agentes comunitários de saúde. Como barreiras foram citadas pelas enfermeiras a vergonha das adolescentes de irem à unidade no dia de atendimento de Planejamento Familiar, a necessidade de autorização dos pais para frequentarem as consultas e a não participação masculina nesse processo. Foram mencionadas também estratégias como as ações intersetoriais, através do programa Saúde na Escola, porém estas não ocorrem de maneira contínua. Com este estudo, percebeu-se que as ações de prevenção da gravidez realizadas pelas enfermeiras da atenção básica encontra entraves para sua efetiva concretização, sendo centradas ainda na entrega de métodos contraceptivos e se afastando do princípio da integralidade da atenção.
Temporary deterioration of oral health–related quality of life (OHRQoL) in nonextraction and extraction modalities of comprehensive orthodontic treatment in adolescents
Authors: Jena Ashok Kumar , Mohapatra Mounabati , Sharan Jitendra , Patro Binod Kumar
Published: February 2020

Objective

To evaluate the effects of nonextraction and all first premolar extraction modalities of orthodontic treatment on oral health–related quality of life (OHRQoL) among adolescents.

Materials and Methods

Sixty-eight adolescents of aged 12–18 years were chosen. Subjects who required nonextraction orthodontic treatment were included in group I, and those who required all first premolar extractions for orthodontic treatment were included in group II. Baseline OHRQoL data (T0) were recorded before the start of treatment. To evaluate the impact of orthodontic treatment on OHRQoL, the Oral Health Impact Profile-14 (OHIP-14) questionnaire was presented to all subjects for retrospective evaluation at 1 month (T1), 3 months (T2), 6 months (T3) and 1 year (T4) after the start of orthodontic treatment and 1 week after completion of orthodontic treatment (T5).

Results

At T1 and T2, the physical pain and physical disability domains of OHIP-14 were impacted significantly by comprehensive orthodontic treatment in both groups (P < .001). The negative impact of orthodontic treatment on OHRQoL was maximum at T1 and then slowly recovered to the pretreatment level at T3 in both groups. Recovery of OHIP-14 scores was relatively faster in group I subjects compared to group II subjects. At T1 and T2, social disability and handicap domains were deteriorated significantly in group II subjects compared to group I subjects (P < .01).

Conclusions

The severity of OHRQoL deterioration was similar in both modalities of orthodontic treatment, but recovery from negative impacts was relatively slower in the first premolar extraction subjects.

Published: February 2020

Objective

To assess and compare the effects produced in the maxillary dental arch by means of Connecticut intrusion arch (CIA) with or without a cinch back on the distal end of the tube of the first molars.

Materials and Methods

This study included 44 patients with a mean age of 13.1 ± 1.8 years treated for deep bite with a CIA randomly divided into two groups: group 1 (G1), 22 patients with initial mean age of 12.72 ± 1.74 years treated with the CIA in the upper arch without a cinch back on the distal surface of the tube of the first molars, and group 2 (G2), 22 patients with an initial mean age of 13.67 ± 2.03 years treated with the CIA with a cinch back. Lateral cephalograms were available before treatment (T1) and after intrusion of maxillary incisors (T2). The mean treatment period was 5.5 ± 1.45 months. Intragroup and intergroup changes in the maxillary incisor and molar positions were analyzed by paired and independent t-tests associated with the Holm-Bonferroni correction method for multiple comparisons (P < .05).

Results

There were significant differences between groups in terms of maxillary incisor displacement. The maxillary incisors flared labially (2.17°) and proclined (1.68 mm) in group 1, whereas a palatal inclination (−1.99°) and retroclination (−1.13 mm) was observed in group 2. No significant differences were found for the molar positions between the groups.

Conclusions

The presence or absence of a distal bend in CIA affects incisor tipping and proclination during intrusion mechanics.

Development and validation of knowledge hiding motivation scale
Authors: Ko YounJin , Yoo TaeYong
Published: February 2020

The purpose of this study was to develop and validate knowledge hiding motivation scale. First, in preliminary study, using the open-ended survey research method, 89 cases were collected from 200 employees who were working in a variety of organizations in Korea. After eliminating overlapped and unintended cases of knowledge hiding, 42 cases in five categories(rationalization, ownership, competition, avoidance, and relation) were obtained. Based on the previous theory, we removed one category(rationalization) and constructed 34 items from cases. Then, we conducted an exploratory factor analysis to find out factor structure of knowledge hiding motivation using the responses of 193 employees from a variety of organizations in Korea. After eliminating low factor loading item and double loaded items, 17 items were obtained in the structure of four factors(personal ownership, fear of loss, concern for negative evaluation, and negative relation). Then, we conducted an confirmatory factor analysis using the responses of 300 employees from a variety of organizations in Korea, and found the four factor structure of 17 items was valid. Also, we examined convergent, discriminant, and criterion-related validity of knowledge hiding motivation scale. In order to examine the convergent validity, we identified the relationship between each subfactor of knowledge hiding motivation and psychological ownership, interpersonal competitiveness, fear of negative evaluation, and negative reciprocity. As a result, personal ownership has a significant correlation with psychological ownership, fear of loss has a significant correlation with interpersonal competitiveness, concern for negative evaluation has a significant correlation with fear of negative evaluation, and negative relation has a significant correlation with negative reciprocity. We examined whether knowledge hiding motivation can be distinguished from other similar constructs such as knowledge sharing intention, knowledge transfer, knowledge sharing, and knowledge hoarding. As a result, we found that knowledge hiding motivation can be well discriminated with knowledge sharing intention, knowledge transfer, knowledge sharing, and knowledge hoarding. In order to testify the criterion-related validity, we examined the relationship between knowledge hiding motivation and knowledge hiding. As a result, we confirmed that knowledge hiding motivation has a significant relationship with knowledge hiding. Finally, the implications and limitations of this study were discussed, and the future research directions were suggested.

Published: February 2020

The study was conducted in pure Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) forests and mixed forests of Scots pine and silver birch (Betula pendula Roth.) within the Chernihiv Polissya physiographic region of Ukraine. The aim of the study was a comparative analysis of forest mensuration characteristics and health condition of pine and mixed pine-birch stands planted on formerly arable lands and cutover areas after pine stands infected by annosum root rot. It was found that in pine stands planted on formerly arable land, the average diameter of living trees in the root rot disease focus was 1–6% larger and the average diameter of dead trees was 11–23% larger than those outside the disease focus. Due to the pathological loss inside the disease foci, the pine stand density was much lower – by 14–38% and the growing stock volume was 16–35% less as compared to the outside areas. Mixed pine-birch stands (with a predominance of pine trees), established on the cutover areas after pine stands affected by root rot, had a 20% greater stock volume and the birch-pine stands (with birch predominance) in the clear-cuts had 18% greater stock volume than pure pine stands inside the root rot disease area. The pine trees were assessed as “weakened” in the mixed stands and as “severely weakened” in the pure pine stand inside the disease focus. The birch trees in mixed stands were characterized as “healthy”.
Seasonal variability of meiobenthic assemblages inhabiting the Nottinghambukta tidal flat, SW Spitsbergen

Published: February 2020

The aim of the work was to describe the variability of a group of meiobenthos inhabiting a tidal flat in Nottinghambukta which is influenced by the diverse conditions of a seasonal as well as multi-annual cyclicity. Samples were collected in five series, i.e. during the Arctic spring (2001), summer (2000 and 2001) and autumn (2001). The material for qualitative analysis was collected from sites with different hydrological characteristics. The following major meiobenthic taxa were found: Metazoa, i.e. Nematoda and Crustacea (Ostracoda and Copepoda-Harpacticoida), and Foraminifera. Unstable conditions in the bay result in a seasonal variability in the species composition as well as an uneven colonisation of the Nottinghambukta area by meiobenthos. The lowest taxonomic diversity occurs in summer, but it increases in autumn when the land runoff ceases. Based on the conducted analysis, it can be concluded that the inflow of seawater in autumn brings on the occurrence of new taxa, which probably inhabit the bay temporarily until the summer season during which the highly variable conditions cause a change in the species composition. For the series of samples collected in July 2000 and 2001, the species composition for Harpacticoida was determined. The taxonomic diversity of the harpacticoid assemblage inhabiting the bay was observed in the two subsequent years. Moreover, during the study duration a considerable decrease was observed in the abundance of Ostracoda in Nottinghambukta.

Published: February 2020

Approaching to the maturity the adolescent population are living in continuous process of changes. They are faced with intermediated contact of the surroundings. As a consequence, the support of the social environment is necessary for the healthy development of the personality.

The aim of this research is to investigate the relationship between the psychological support system and psychosomatic tendencies among adolescents named as “generation Z” in our country. The sample is composed of 106 (Nm=81, Nf=25) participants that accepted and filled in the on-line questionnaires. The students, especially those studying art and social and humanistic sciences, were more interested in participating in the research.

Two psychological instruments (BOL-110 and HI test form the KON-6 battery) via Google form were applied.

Based on the results gained from the complex interplay of the basic supports (Proactivity, Body, Thinking, Belonging) with psychosomatics, among generation Z, we have figured out three profiles of personality: a) healthy, b) with high tendencies to psychosomatics and c) with high tendencies to develop severe mental health disorders. The suggestions how to sustain health are final recommendations of this work.

Authors: Demjaha Genc , Kapushevska Biljana , Zymber Ajla Çesko , Shahpaska Budima Pejkovska
Published: February 2020

Introduction: Cephalea from orofacial origin is a diffuse, mild to moderate pain that appears as a bandage around the head. There are many different etiological causes of dental origin that contribute to the appearance of cephalea.

Purpose: The purpose of our research is dental treatment of patients with traumatic occlusion, bruxism and loss of occlusal support, which have a pathological condition - cephalea from orofacial origin.

Material and methods:For the purposes of this paper, 15 patients with cephalea from orofacial origin were analysed, diagnosed and treated. The control group consisted of 15 patients without etiological factors. A butterfly deprogrammer and a stabilization splint were made depending on the indication.

Results and discussion: According to our patient study results, it appears to be a link between inadequately made prosthetic devices, bruxism and loss of occlusal support with cephalea. The therapy should help the patient urgently and continue to relieve the cephalea symptoms from orofacial origin. The results show an improvement in 86.7% of the examinees.

Conclusion: The butterfly deprogrammer and stabilization splint are new methods that can contribute along with other therapeutic modalities in improving the quality of life in a patient with cephalea from orofacial origin.
New Developments in Publishing Related to Authorship
Authors: Donev Doncho
Published: February 2020

Aim: To present the inappropriate types of authorship and practice, and the most recent developments related to basic principles and criteria to a fair system for allocating authorship in scientific publications.

Methods: An analysis of relevant materials and documents, sources from the internet and published literature and personal experience and observations of the author.

Results: Working in multidisciplinary teams is a common feature of modern research processes. The most sensitive question is how to decide on who to acknowledge as author of a multi-authored publication. The pertinence of this question is growing with the increasing importance of individual scientists’ publication records for professional status and career. However, discussions about authorship allocation might lead to serious conflicts and disputes among coworkers which could even endanger cooperation and successful completion of a research project. It seems that discussion and education about ethical standards and practical guidelines for fairly allocating authorship are insufficient and the question of ethical practices related to authorship in multi-authored publications remains generally unresolved.

Conclusion: It is necessary to work for raising awareness about the importance and need for education about principles of scientific communication and fair allocation of authorship, ethics of research and publication of results. The use of various forms of education in the scientific community, especially young researchers and students, in order to create an ethical environment, is one of the most effective ways to prevent the emergence of scientific and publication dishonesty and fraud, including pathology of authorship.
Performance Analysis of Resource Sharing During Downlink Multi-User Transmissions in CSMA/ECA Full Duplex WLANs
Authors: Politis Anastasios C. , Anastassiu Hristos T.
Published: February 2020

Full Duplex (FD) wireless communications is considered to be the next big step for future Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs). Old (IEEE 802.11ac) and new (IEEE 802.11ax) WLAN features are expected to co-exist with FD operation. Some of these features include Downlink Multi-User (DL MU) transmissions at the physical layer while at the Medium Access Control (MAC) layer techniques such as the Transmission Opportunity (TXOP) sharing mechanism facilitates these multiuser transmissions. The traditional Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Avoidance (CSMA/CA) protocol is inadequate to support full duplex communications efficiently. A very promising adaptation of CSMA/CA and a powerful candidate as the basic channel access method for future WLANs is the Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Enhanced Collision Avoidance (CSMA/ECA). In this paper, we provide an analytical model to assess the performance of resource sharing techniques in full duplex WLANs operating with the CSMA/ECA protocol. Our analysis is based on Markov chains to obtain an estimate of the achievable throughput of the Quality of Service Access Point (QAP) during DL MU transmissions.
THE FORMAL AND SUBSTANTIVE CORE OF HUMAN RIGHTS
Authors: Kirste Stephan
Published: February 2020

Human dignity is the basis of human rights. From the four dimensions of dignity - the status subjectionis, the status negativus, the status positivus and the status activus - both form and content of human rights can be justified. The form as subjective rights is necessary so that man is treated as a subject and not as a mere object (status subjectionis). In terms of content, human rights protect not only freedom from the state (status negativus), freedom through the state (status positivus), but also the freedom of the individual to participate in the establishment of public authorities (status activus). In addition: human dignity itself is a human right.
ELENA FERRANTE AND PATRIARCHY. LESSONS FROM L'AMICA GENIALE (MY BRILLIANT FRIEND)
Authors: Calheiros Maria Clara
Published: February 2020

The relationship between feminist theories and the law and literature movement is not new and has provided very fruitful analysis over many decades, ever since the 1970s. Twenty-first century literature, which includes L' Amica Geniale (My brilliant friend), even when describing stories and action that are placed in other historical times (in this case, in the historical context of the twentieth century), allows establishing an ever renewed dialogue with feminist theories, in its current expression. The author reviews the recent "rediscovery" of feminism and how some concepts evolved in the context of feminist theories. A concept to which she devotes attention is patriarchy, as it is paramount for understanding the connections that can be perceived to exist between feminist theories and FERRANTE's work. In the author’s opinion, the Neapolitan novels are eloquent in the portrait presented – complex, multifaceted, ambiguous even – of what it ultimately means to be a woman living in a patriarchal society.

Resumo: Esse artigo buscou investigar as características dos pacientes atendidos com dor abdominal aguda (DAA) em um serviço de Tomografia Computadorizada (CT) e sua relação com os diagnósticos mais frequentes. Sabe-se que o Brasil não possui um sistema de informação sobre as características clínicas e epidemiológicas dos pacientes com DAA atendidos nos serviços de urgência. A sensibilidade da história clínica, exame físico e dos dados laboratoriais são altos para a diferenciação entre causas urgentes ou não, mas insuficiente para o diagnóstico específico. As características clínicas, laboratoriais e de imagem variaram conforme o sexo e a idade dos pacientes interferindo nos diagnósticos iniciais e finais após a realização da TC. Com isso, a TC influencia a tomada de decisão na urgência e emergência levando a mudanças no diagnóstico principal, sendo um método de imagem útil na caracterização etiológica. Porém, há necessidade de aliar com a anamnese e exame físico na suspeita diagnóstica, considerando a idade e sexo dos pacientes.

Objetivo: Relatar o desenvolvimento de uma atividade educativa com uso de uma tecnologia no cuidado sobre diagnóstico e tratamento no exame Papanicolau em uma Estratégia Saúde da Família (ESF). Relato de Experiência: O primeiro momento foi o levantamento bibliográfico para maior aprofundamento e conhecimentos científicos sobre o tema. Posteriormente foi elaborada uma tecnologia em forma de disco com informações sobre diagnóstico e tratamento do câncer de colo de útero. Por fim, foi desenvolvida uma ação educativa em uma ESF no município de Belém-PA sobre a prevenção do câncer de colo de útero e apresentação da tecnologia com informações das lesões mais leve à mais grave e as condutas que o enfermeiro deve realizar diante da lesão. Participaram nove profissionais de saúde, os quais relatam os desafios e dificuldades que os profissionais enfrentam no atendimento das mulheres e suas experiências e desafios encontrados no rastreamento, identificação e condutas em casos alterados de exame de Papanicolau. Considerações finais: Ressalta-se que a atividade educativa proporcionou importantes construções de conhecimentos, favorecendo o fortalecimento do processo ensino-aprendizagem, além de estreitar as relações entre ensino e comunidade, além de que a disponibilidade da tecnologia para o serviço possibilita ampliação do cuidado à população assistida.
Partial Anomalous Left Pulmonary Artery Sling in an Adult
Authors: Maldjian Pierre D. , Adams Kevin R.
Published: February 2020

We report a case of a partial anomalous left pulmonary artery sling in an adult patient as an incidental finding on computed tomography. There is a normal bifurcation of the pulmonary trunk into right and left pulmonary arteries with anomalous origin of the left upper lobe pulmonary artery from the right pulmonary artery. The anomalous vessel passes between the trachea and esophagus forming a partial left pulmonary artery sling without airway compression.

Background:

Ossifying fibroma (OF) is benign bone lesions, most frequent in young children, more common in the maxillary sinus and mandible (75–89%), the pathogenesis of the tumor is not clear, there are many subtypes of OF. This paper aims to report an OF a case and literature review.

Case Description:

Male, 19 years old, with a progressive history proptosis since 2012, diagnosed as a right supraorbital lesion at an external service and assigned to conservative management. Then, he evolved with double vision, which worsened in February of 2018, associated with a moderate headache. On admission: proptosis and downward deviation of the right orbit was noticed on the physical exam and with exception of limited right upgaze, external ocular movements were maintained. Head computed tomography showed a multiloculate expansive osteolytic lesion at the right orbital roof. On magnetic resonance imaging, the lesion had an inner content with septations, T1-weighted imaging heterogeneous signal, T2-weighted imaging high signal intensity, and peripheral contrast enhancement. The patient underwent a right frontal craniotomy with a gross total resection and the postoperative follow-up was uneventful. Menzel reported the first case in 1782. The clinical findings depend on localization. There are five subtypes. In general, the lesions have a radiological appearance with hyperdense boundary and cause deformity and destruction in bones with high recurrence risk. Radical resection is curative.

Conclusion:

As a result, the correlation of clinical, radiologic, and pathologic data is significant while going for a specific diagnosis in cases of craniofacial fibrous lesions. Total excision is the best treatment, but it can recur.

Background:

In several epilepsy etiologies, the macroscopic appearance of the epileptogenic tissue is identical to the normal, which makes it hard to balance between how much cytoreduction or disconnection and brain tissue preservation must be done. A strategy to tackle this situation is by evaluating brain metabolism during surgery using infrared thermography mapping (IrTM).

Methods:

In 12 epilepsy surgery cases that involved the temporal lobe, we correlated the IrTM, electrocorticography, and neuropathology results.

Results:

Irritative zones (IZ) had a lower temperature in comparison to the surrounding cortex with normal electric activity (difference in temperature (ΔT) from 1.2 to 7.1, mean 3.40°C standard deviation ± 1.61). The coldest zones correlated exactly with IZ in 9/10 cortical dysplasia (CD) cases. In case 3, the coldest area was at 1 cm away from the IZ. In 10/10 dysplasia cases (cases 1–4, 6–11), there was a radial heating pattern originating from the coldest cortical point. In 2/2 neoplasia cases, the temporal lobe cortical temperature was more homogeneous than in the CD cases, with no radial heating pattern, and there were no IZ detected. In case 8, we found the coldest IrTM recording in the hippocampus, which correlated to the maximal irritative activity recorded by strip electrodes. The ΔT is inversely proportional to epilepsy chronicity.

Conclusion:

IrTM could be useful in detecting hypothermic IZ in CD cases. As the ΔT is inversely proportional to epilepsy chronicity, this variable could affect the metabolic thermic patterns of the human brain.
Gas-Phase Oxidation of Reactive Organometallic Ions

Analysis of highly reactive compounds at very low concentration in solution using electrospray ionization mass spectrometry requires the use of exhaustively purified solvents. It has generally been assumed that desolvation gas purity needs to be similarly high, and so most chemists working in this space have relied upon high purity gas. However, the increasingly competitiveness of nitrogen generators, which provide gas purity levels that vary inversely with flow rate, prompted an investigation of the effect of gas-phase oxygen on the speciation of ions. For moderately oxygen sensitive species such as phosphines, no gas-phase oxidation was observed. Even the most reactive species studied, the reduced titanium complex [Cp2Ti(NCMe)2]+[ZnCl3]– and the olefin polymerization precatalyst [Cp2Zr(µ-Me)2AlMe2]+ [B(C6F5)4]–, only exhibited detectable oxidation when they were rendered coordinatively unsaturated through in-source fragmentation. Computational chemistry allowed us to find the most plausible pathways for the observed chemistry in the absence of observed intermediates. The results provide insight into the gas-phase oxidation of reactive species and should assure experimentalists that evidence of significant oxidation is likely a solution rather than a gas-phase process, even when relatively low-purity nitrogen is used for desolvation.

EM BUSCA DA DIGNIDADE CIENTÍFICA DO DIREITO COMERCIAL BRASILEIRO
Authors: Chaves Vinicius Figueiredo
Published: February 2020

Realiza-se pesquisa qualitativa e com perfil exploratório. Busca-se demonstrar que o aumento da simplificação da produção bibliográfica em matéria de Direito Comercial constitui problema que demanda análises e reflexões, porque obstaculiza o seu desenvolvimento e a consolidação da sua dignidade científica. Argumenta-se que a concepção de estruturalismo jurídico desenvolvida por Calixto Salomão Filho tem a contribuir para a dignidade científica do Direito Comercial brasileiro, como uma possível base para raciocínios críticos, reflexivos e propositivos.
A PROTEÇÃO DA IMAGEM, DA PRIVACIDADE E DA INTIMIDADE EM FACE DA POSSIBILIDADE DE SUA VIOLAÇÃO E EXPOSIÇÃO PELOS MEIOS DE COMUNICAÇÃO E NAS REDES SOCIAIS

Uma das maiores preocupações na atualidade reside na possibilidade de exposição de dados e conversas privadas. A proteção prevista no art. 5º, incisos V e X da Constituição Federal de 1988 poderá assumir contornos de desprestigio caso esses direitos não venham a ser efetivamente protegidos. A prática hodierna demonstra que a facilidade com que os meios de comunicação obtém informações íntimas e privadas de pessoas. Assim, aquilo que deveria estar salvaguardado sob o manto da privacidade, da individualidade, ou mesmo de interesse dos seus titulares podem se tornar públicos, quebrando a regra de ouro da inviolabilidade de intimidade e da vida privada
