Homocysteine promotes scavenger receptor CD36 mediated oxLDL uptake eliciting PON2 antioxidant defense response in ARPE-19 and THP-1 macrophage cells
Authors: Babu Kannadasan Anand , Sen Parveen , Biswas Jyotirmay , Angayarkanni Narayanasamy
Published: May 2022

Oxidative stress is the major cause of dysfunctional phagocytic cells such as the macrophages causing atherosclerotic changes in cardiovascular disease (CVD) and the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) showing lipofuscin accumulation seen in age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Systemic homocysteine (Hcy) is associated with CVD and AMD pathology. The study evaluated the prooxidant Hcy on the metabolic activity of ARPE-19 cells and THP-1 macrophage cells in vitro, since localized macrophages are involved in AMD pathology. These cells were exposed to Hcy and homocysteine thiolactone (HCTL) showed increased oxLDL uptake assessed by fluorimetry along with increased protein expression of oxLDL receptor, CD36 in both the cells. Cellular Paraoxonase 2 (PON2), an antioxidant was significantly increased in both ARPE-19 and THP-1 macrophages possibly to counteract the intracellular oxidative stress. The increased PON2 and CD36 expression observed were mediated by the increased SP1 and PPARγ transcription factors, respectively. The lysosomal activity assessed in terms of cathepsin D expression was significantly increased indicating accumulation of the intracellular oxLDL. Further, immunohistochemistry revealed relatively higher expression of PON2 and CD36 in the RPE of AMD donor eye sections compared to control, supporting dysregulated oxLDL metabolism and antioxidant defense by PON2 enzyme observed in vitro. Thus, Hcy increases oxLDL uptake and promotes oxidative stress that potentially causes RPE dysfunction contributing to AMD pathology, while the cellular PON2 is promoted as an antioxidant response.

Published: May 2022

Contaminant source identification and hydraulic conductivity estimation are of great significance for contaminant transport model in the subsurface media, but their actual values are difficult to obtain and can usually be inversely identified and estimated by sparse observations. In order to reduce computational cost in the process of estimating groundwater model parameters, the surrogate model was often used. This study addresses this challenge by proposing a modified self-organizing map (SOM) based surrogate model, named ILUES-SOM, which combing a modified iterative ensemble smoother method (SGSIM-ILUES) and SOM algorithm, to simultaneously identify contaminant source parameters and hydraulic conductivity field. Considering the characteristics of the proposed method (ILUES-SOM), the comparison of parameter estimation accuracy and computational efficiency is performed with original SOM and SGSIM-ILUES inversion model. Moreover, the robustness of ILUES-SOM model for inversion was illustrated by proposing varying degrees of observation errors and missing early observation data. The results indicated that ILUES-SOM model can successfully retrieve unknown contaminant source simultaneously with heterogeneity hydraulic conductivity field in groundwater system.

DOCUMENTARY-PUBLICISTIC STAGE OF FLASH PROSE OF LITERARY EMIGRATION: TO THE PROBLEM OF TYPOLOGY
Authors: Zhylenko Iryna
Published: May 2022

The article outlines the genre typology of the flash prose of the interwar 20th century. We continue the study of periodization of small genres started by I. Denisiuk who distinguished between «folklore» and «phases of sociological narrative and socio-psychological study» and suggest to define the period between 1919 and 1939 as documentary-publicist. We propose the following typology for flash prose of literary emigration: mythological, national-historical, ethological and novelistic. The mythological type focuses on figurative genres explaining some natural and social phenomena while the national historical group covers genres reaching into the «new» reality, the one that started after the October Revolution and the liberation movement. The task of the ethological group is to expose «bad» social habits in certain environment in certain time while striving to underline the «good» ones. The novelistic group combines short stories and essays with documentary and free composition, psychological novellas and short stories, fragmentary prose, as well as memoirs containing both, publicist and factual, basis. The flash prose of literary emigration is represented in the research in the following genres: 1) novellas and short stories; 2) related literary-publicist genres (sketch, feuilleton, pamphlet, essay), utopia and anti-utopia are close to this genre, too; 3) «folklore» (fairy tale, myth, parable, legend, short story); 4) miniature-fragmentary genres (poetry in prose, sketch, water colour, icon, picture, grotesque, aphorism, crucifixion)

The article in question deals with the linguistic features of Netspeak. The development of modern technologies has made it possible to create a unique digital communication environment, which is realized textually, characterized by laconicism, violation of spelling and punctuation norms of language. Modern linguistics faces the important issue of studying the Netspeak phenomenon, which affects all spheres of human life. The purpose of the study is to define the concept of Netspeak, its communicative and linguistic features, to characterize its lexical and graphic features. The English Web 2020 corpus (enTenTen20) on the SketchEngine platform was analyzed to describe the frequency of abbreviations and acronyms usage, sources: texts of English-language Internet discourse for 2019-2021. As a result of the quantitative analysis, it was determined that the acronym LOL occurs most frequently – 875554 times, while acronym ILY occurs less frequently – 2216 times. The semantic analysis of the COCA corpus revealed abbreviations most found in blogs and web pages, abbreviations common in fiction, magazines and newspapers, scientific texts with a different denotative meaning. Having analyzed the English Web 2020 corpus and the Corpus of Contemporary American English (COCA), we can conclude about the high frequency of using abbreviations in websites and blogs. The tendencies in the development of the digital communication environment, the constant growth of the number of abbreviations in the English network environment have prospects for further research

Published: May 2022

The present paper deals with the study of tactics of implementing the strategy of language influence in English-language movie posters. It is considered that advertising movie posters are oriented on pragmatically focused impact on the potential viewers, stimulate their interest, persuade them, influence their emotions, feelings or rationality and create the algorithm of their behavior. Motivational strategies of proposing, reminding or encouraging actions in movie posters are implemented through the specifics of discursive techniques and tactics by selecting language tools at the structural, phonetic, lexical, grammatical and stylistic levels, their combinatorics and application of visual techniques. The research finds out, that the mechanism of verbal influence in movie posters includes the repertoire of following techniques and tactics: the presence of an effective advertising slogan, alliteration, assonance, word play, repetitions, omissions, graphic modifications of the text, symbolization, the use of imperatives and interrogative sentences, contrast, gradation. It is emphasized that movie posters, which are one of the most effective means of advertising film products, are of polycode nature, as they are created by combining verbal and nonverbal elements that interact and complement each other. An important role in the pragmatic orientation of movie posters belongs to the visual series, which activates the attention of the recipient and facilitates the procedure of perception and decoding of advertising. It is underlined that the main features of the language of advertising text of movie posters are general accessibility, social orientation and expressiveness. The language and style of presentation of each advertising message in movie posters are subject to the main idea and have a communicative and motivating nature

Authors: Vasudevan Hemaloshinee , Aslan Imran
Published: May 2022

Supervisory behaviour has influenced a better working climate, which has led to the employees' desire to achieve a favourable outcome for the business involved. If the leaders do not contribute constructive behaviour, the staff may desire a poor outcome. Banks were chosen because they participate in a high-quality endeavour to build leader-member exchange relationships among workers. By examining employees' citizenship behaviour, the findings of this study could be used to improve the quality of leader-member exchange and the work environment. An effective organizational climate must incorporate the leader-member exchange strategy to improve employees' working environments, leaders-followers relationships, and employees' citizenship behaviour. The importance of this study is to determine that organizational climate is a visible value that has been in existent within the employee's behaviour and action. This study aims to assess the mediating role of the organizational climate on the relationship between leader-member exchanges on organizational citizenship behaviour. Reviewing underpinning theories based on underlying concepts, theoretical background, current definitions, and various types of collaborative writing gathered from the educational setting resulted in a theoretical framework. The quantitative and purposive sampling methods have been used to achieve the research questions and hypothesis. Samples were taken that amounted to 384 respondents in the commercial banks, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Descriptive statistics analysed the variables, correlation and Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) using IBM Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) and SMART PLS 3. Findings of this study reveal that organizational climate has a positive relationship with significant levels on the leader-member exchange and organizational citizenship behaviour. This study suggests that it be pursued further in the Asian and Western contexts due to the development of organizational citizenship behaviour. Because it is fundamental for many organizations to develop their company profile to achieve good changes so that human resource management is strategized in the hiring and retaining system for highly committed employees to organizations.
Competitiveness, innovation and productivity of the country
Authors: Hakhverdyan Davit , Shahinyan Mher
Published: May 2022

This study discusses and investigates the key determinants of country competitiveness. An analysis of the available literature relating to the key determinants of the country’s competitiveness makes it possible to mention that their determinants are not yet completely explored. The issue is that the current literature examines the impact of GDP per capita and human capital while omitting important factors affecting a country’s competitiveness. Knowledge capital is one of the main factors of economic growth and competitiveness. Indigenous innovation contributes to the production of knowledge capital, while FDI and import trade are two major pathways for technological diffusion. As a result, when studying the causes of a country's competitiveness, the effects of these elements are not negligible. The following logical processes are used to investigate the topic of main factors of a country's competitiveness: first, a theoretical model outlining the primary factors of a country's competitiveness is studied; second, acceptable measurements for a country's competitiveness are selected; third, a balanced panel data set is created, and unknown parameter estimation is carried out. The GMM two-step panel data estimation technique is the major methodological instrument used in the article. Annual data from 2001 to 2020 on eight macroeconomic variables are included in the database (total 1040 observations per macroeconomic variable (52 countries, 20 years)). The study proved both practically and theoretically that: 1) the lagged value of the dependent variable has a positive and considerable impact on the competitiveness of the country; 2) the labor productivity of a country is an essential factor of competitiveness; the higher a country's labor productivity, the more probable it is to produce and export; 3) human capital and research and development are major sources of knowledge creation that directly contribute to a country's competitiveness; 4) the influence of FDI and imports on competitiveness has been proven to be significant; 5) weak institutions in emerging and developing economies have a negative impact on export sophistication and, as a result, a country's competitiveness. The research findings should be relevant to economic policymakers and model developers interested in estimating and evaluating structural systems of equations

Published: May 2022

Currently, the Ukrainian economy is beginning to implement the concept of «green» finance at the legislative level. But the minimum legal framework is already present to protect the environment of Ukrainians. The management of eco-innovation is essential, as most countries that negatively contribute to the sustainable environment are primarily countries with significant financial shortfalls. The article aims to determine the basic theoretical and practical principles of financial engineering of green finance as an element of environmental innovation management. European countries were selected to study the possibilities of financial engineering of green finance as an element of environmental innovation management. The study period is 2000-2020. The article analyzes and studies the main indicators of energy production and usage, adjusted savings, rent for using natural energy sources, Environmental Performance Index 2020, environmental health indicator, and other indicators for the studied countries. Regarding the possibilities of green financing in Ukraine, the existing normative legal acts are considered. For developing areas for improving the management of environmental innovations, this study was conducted in the following logical sequence: built a multifactor linear regression model net inflows of foreign direct investment; the influence of factors on the performance indicator is determined; the most influential factors for determining the directions of future improvement have been identified. The authors confirmed thAT the financial engineering of green finance is a tool that combines the world of finance, innovation, and business with environmental behavior. It is an activity area for many participants, including individual and business consumers, manufacturers, investors, and financial lenders. Unlike traditional financial activities, green finance focuses on environmental friendliness and pays more attention to the environment. Thus, investing in climate change and clean energy knowledge could better assess risk and return. Two important strategies in global sustainable development are energy efficiency and the development of renewable energy sources. As for the development of renewable energy industries, the main factor hindering the development of industrialization is the lack of capital and an effective financing mechanism.

Bullying is a public health concern which generates a range of harmful physical, mental, and social health consequences for both its victims and perpetrators. Role of students in finding solutions for bullying has to be improved as they are affected from this issue. The aim of this study was to identify possible determinants of bullying and to decide measures, through engaging a group of adolescents in a rural school in Sri Lanka. Community-based health promotion approach was used for the study. The process was carried out for 3 months with grade nine students (n = 68) in a rural school in Anuradhapura district, Sri Lanka. Both quantitative and qualitative data were collected through, a self-administered questionnaire and ten interactive group discussions which were conducted with the selected group of students. Quantitative and qualitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and thematic analysis respectively. Students were able to identify 16 possible determinants of bullying and they prioritized five determinants based on the importance and feasibility of changing. The prioritized determinants included lack of understanding of students on the range of harms of bullying, poor responses of students against bullying, poor relationships among students, students being in unhappy or angry mood throughout the day, and acceptance of bullying as a heroic act among students. Furthermore, seven measures to address the selected determinants were decided together with the students. Students are capable in identifying possible determinants of bullying and deciding on measures to address the selected determinants with comparatively small guidance.

Published: May 2022

Autoimmune diseases are complex chronic multisystem disorders that are potentially life threatening. The etiology of autoimmune diseases is not known but genetic, hormonal, and environmental factors are found to be involved in their pathogenesis. The clinical course is usually very long and patients have circulating autoantibodies in their serum before the appearance of clinical signs and symptoms. Seventy-five percent of the autoimmune diseases occur in women and it is one of the top ten causes of death in women below the age of 65 years. Many women may possess irregular non-specific symptoms such fatigue, muscle pain, and joint pain because of the genes and may or may not progress to one or the other symptomatic autoimmune diseases leading to severe complications including organ failure and death. Increased death rates in women because of autoimmune diseases have been recently reported in the US and UK. Researchers have also reported a steep rise in economic burden due to autoimmune diseases. Early diagnosis of the autoimmune diseases may play an important role in modifying the course of disease progression. Following up of patients with autoimmune diseases on a regular basis with available prognostic tests will greatly reduce morbidity and possibly mortality in these patients. In this comprehensive review article, we have summarized available prognostic strategies and recommendations for common autoimmune disorders.

Safe motherhood initiative advocates on “Equity for women” as its foundation strategy. Household level decision-making is an indicator of household level equity. The perinatal period is considered as a crucial stage for the pregnant woman and her newborn and decisions made in this period can determine the well-being of the woman and newborn. The aim of the study was to describe the involvement of women in household level decision-making in the perinatal period in a rural community in Sri Lanka. A cross-sectional study design was used among 403 women recruited by a multistage sampling method from field antenatal clinic services in Polonnaruwa District. Data were collected by a household survey, using a pre-tested interviewer administered questionnaire. Percentages and 95% confidence intervals were used to present the findings. More than 80% of women were involved in making the selected decisions related to pregnancy. However, involvement in making other household level decisions was comparatively lower. In pregnancy-related decisions, all three decisions that determine the health-seeking behavior were taken by the woman and the partner collectively in the majority of households (when to seek medical care: n = 152, 49.4%; where to seek medical care: n = 190, 61.7%; and place to deliver: n = 130, 42.2%). In other household level decisions, the most common scenario was to take the decision collectively with the partner, except for spending on food. It was commonly decided by the partner alone (42.2%, n = 130). The women’s involvement in making household decisions in the perinatal period was high. Sri Lankan rural communities probably display a higher level of gender equity in taking decisions in the perinatal period compared to its neighbor countries.

The present study was focused on the conformity of the triploidy induction in golden mahseer. Erythrocyte measurement which is an indirect method for the conformity of triploidy induction in fish was followed for this purpose. Triploidy induction was carried out by pressure shock and thermal shock after 12 min of post-fertilization. The recorded results reflected 24.63% larger average size of erythrocytes cell in triploids (13.51 ± 1.13 μm) over the diploids (10.84 ± 1.01 μm). Similarly, the average measurement size of nucleus was recorded 21.27% lager in triploids (6.1 ± 0.61 μm) than the diploid counterpart (5.03 ± 0.42 μm). The size of erythrocyte cell was measured in the range between 8.4 and 13.28 μm for diploid and 10.4–15.39 μm for triploid while size of nucleus was recorded as for 4.24–6.12 μm for diploid and 4.73–7.37 μm for triploids, respectively. There was significant variation (P < 0.05) in major axis of erythrocytes cell and nucleus both in diploid and triploids individuals. Hence, the study showed the applicability measurement of erythrocyte cell as an indirect method for triploidy conformity in fish.

The ongoing pandemic COVID-19 had been one of the most gruesome medical disasters the world had experienced in the millennia. The sudden case hikes and death numbers multiplying each day even in the most advanced Western countries, the world was literally brought to a standstill. The health-care system buckled under the burden of increasing cases, global travel, and trade ceased overnight, economies crashed. In the face of such an unprecedented adversity, the negative impacts of the pandemic have been studied widely. This article is an attempt to understand and compile the positive changes as well as cope- up strategies that have been adopted in India and across the world to combat this pandemic. The positive outcomes experienced during the lockdown period have been analyzed, citing evidences from research articles published in peer-reviewed journals in the field of health, education, environment, and psychiatry. The results revealed that there are positive changes too in all of these realms, which are never brought to light. Situations like the present times are inevitable and no way to be glorified, but the analysis of its brighter side is in fact the celebration of our strength on the face of the pandemic. Such analyses are essential as they may prove as references in the future.

Aim: The present study was undertaken to observe the correlation between the development of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) and anger score and its implication in outcome of surgical cases. Methods: Study design: This was a observational study. Study population: A total of 40 male and female patients in the age group of 30–60 years and those admitted to the cardiac center were enrolled in the study. Novaco anger inventory short form was used in the study. Results and Discussion: Socio-demographic data of participants are presented in Tables 1-3. Table 4 presents the frequency distribution of the degree of LVH among patients. Table 5 presents frequency distributions of levels of anger among patients. Table 6 presents the correlation between Anger and LVH among patients. The value of R = 0.9524. This is a strong positive correlation, which means that high anger variable scores go with high LVH (and vice versa). The value of R2, the coefficient of determination, is 0.9071. Conclusion: There is a strong positive correlation, which means that high anger variable scores go with high LVH. Further detailed studies recommended understanding the relationship between these two variables so that it can be recommended to manage anger also in patients with cardiac disorders along with regular treatment. These principles are to be used as guiding principles in pre-operative screening of patients with comorbidities posted for surgery in the planning processes.

Published: May 2022

The paper presents data on geology and composition of rocks from the Ustoyarvi region (the North-Western Arctic zone of Russian Federation). Their compositional analysis (including mathematical evaluation of the similarity/difference measure) provided much reliable conclusion that the rocks from this area, which are presumably attributed to the Ustoyarvi structure (Ustoyarvinsky Greenstone Belt) were similar to those from the Ura-Guba area in the Kolmozero-Voronya Belt and continued it. In addition, it has been shown that from west to east lithotectonic units in the adjacent (Suormussky) Block become gradually impregnated with tectonic wedges of rocks of the Ustoyarvi Greenstone Belt. It indicates increasing collisional interaction between rock associations with a varied genesis. P-T formation parameters have been specified for komatiites from greenstone belts, i. e. the Kolmozero-Voronya, Ura-Guba, Ustoyarvi and Western Litsa area. It has been defined that komatiites of the Ustoyarvi Greenstone Belt were formed under pressure of about 5 hPa, komatiites of the Ura-Guba area - about 4.5 hPa, komatiites of the Kolmozero-Voronya - about 2 hPa. Thus, komatiites of the Ustoyarvi Greenstone Belt are more high-pressure formations.

Authors: Yanti Yanti
Published: May 2022

This study aimed to evaluate the revenue cycle implemented in the Exhibition Company to identify the weaknesses and limitations of internal controls related to revenue cycles by referring to the COSO's Internal Control Framework. The study uses a qualitative descriptive approach by assessing the current revenue cycle implemented at the Exhibition Company and the internal control. The process of collecting data is through interviews and observation. Based on the evaluation, there are weaknesses in internal control in the revenue cycle applied by the company. This study indicates that the internal control is still not effective following the COSO framework, leading to the possibility of a fraudulent act in the company. Therefore, as its business continues growing, it is essential to focus more on its revenue cycle system and internal control to implement an effective and efficient procedure to support its operating performance. Furthermore, it suggests improvement as needed based on COSO's internal control framework to overcome the discovered potential weaknesses.

El 23,6 % eran incidentes, con una mediana en tiempo de tratamiento de 114 días (RIC:98-127) y 73,9 % eran prevalentes, con una mediana de tiempo de tratamiento de 228 días (RIC:160-371). El tipo de terapia utilizada fue principalmente sistémica no biológica y el 90,9 % de los pacientes eran adherentes al tratamiento. Las variables clínicas fueron similares en los incidentes y los prevalentes y el fenotipo más común fue psoriasis vulgar (57,1 %). La calidad de vida en ambos grupos fue mayor a 60 puntos y las dimensiones más afectadas en la calidad de vida fueron la salud física y la psicológica. El 27,3 % presentaban comorbilidades asociadas a riesgo cardiovascular y 44,7 % presentaban sobrepeso. Conclusión: conocer las características sociodemográficas, clínicas, farmacológicas y calidad de vida de los pacientes con psoriasis moderada-severa permite la identificación de factores de riesgo y un manejo integral de la enfermedad.

El ejercicio de la escritura no es sencillo. La necesidad de plasmar en unas líneas lo que se piensa, entiende, comprende y se quiere compartir, requiere de esfuerzo y paciencia. Esfuerzo, pues el ordenamiento de las ideas de una manera que sea fácilmente comprensible por el lector implica utilizar herramientas lingüísticas básicas (sintáctica, semántica, gramática) que permita una lectura agradable y clara.
Paciencia, pues no todos los individuos tenemos la disciplina para escribir, lo que conllevará a que se nos corrija reiterativamente lo escrito con miras a que se establezca un lenguaje claro que mantenga el mensaje.
Behavior characteristics of phosphorus and capping effect of microbubble flotation to control phosphorus release in the benthic sediment

Published: May 2022

Microbubbles were applied to remove phosphorus (P) and improve environmental water conditions on the surface of the benthic sediment in a eutrophic lake. Microbubble flotation (MF) was used to remove P in a laboratory-scale experiment device from the benthic sediment and overlying water field samples. The results of P tracing observation for MF treatment, which were identified based on the mass balance, showed P accumulated at a higher concentration in the floated scum than in the deposited sludge. Furthermore, while the amount of soluble P separated was insignificant, the removal efficiency of soluble P in the floated scum was higher than total P. As an additional effect, P release was suppressed by the injection of microbubbles, which reduced anaerobicization and improved environmental conditions in the overlying water of the lake. We also confirmed that the sludge that settled after flotation separation caused capping, which restrained P release by forming a layer on the surface of the sediment. The direct P flotation separation, provision of oxygen by injected microbubbles, and capping effect of re-deposited sludge are advantages associated with MF, and our results show that field application studies are warranted.
Mathematical model and experiment analysis of pressure fluctuation inside dual-stack drainage system in residential buildings

The final velocity was put forward to study the water flow characteristics inside the building drainage system; however, it is more suitable for low-rise and multi-storey buildings, not for high-rise buildings. This study revealed the drainage transient characteristics of a double stack drainage system in high-rise residential buildings. Based on the final velocity, the air-water interaction mechanism and two-phase flow conditions in high-rise residential drainage stacks were discussed. An influence model of drainage system flow rate on pressure fluctuation under the change of state parameters such as ventilation rate, pipe wall roughness and building height was established. The pressure limit and flow rate data were obtained through full-scale experiments. The pressure limit and flow rate model were simplified to . After the data were verified, the fitting coefficients A, B and C were linear to the floor height.
Urbanización e industrialización de la ciudad de Querétaro en el siglo XX
Authors: García Estrada Mariana Lorena
Published: May 2022

En este artículo se analiza la urbanización de la ciudad de Querétaro durante el siglo XX. Esta urbe se localiza en el centro de México, aproximadamente a 200 kilómetros al noroeste de la Ciudad de México, y forma parte de la región de El Bajío. Se realizó un análisis histórico a partir de una revisión hemerográfica y bibliográfica acerca de la ciudad de Querétaro, así como de una consulta de datos en fuentes oficiales, que se complementó con la información de campo y un estudio cartográfico que contribuyó a la explicación del tema. La aportación de la investigación radica en que evidencia la manera en que el contexto histórico nacional y el regional se relacionan con los procesos económicos y políticos internacionales, lo cual, a su vez, tiene consecuencias en lo local, lo que es ejemplificado con el caso de la ciudad de Querétaro, una ciudad media latinoamericana que comparte historia y proceso de urbanización con muchas otras del continente y en la que el espacio ha sido puesto a disposición del capital.
A voz que escapa e a fala que captura: ecos do acontecimento black bloc em junho de 2013 no enfoque da imaterialidade do patrimônio
Authors: José Isaías Venera
Published: May 2022

O objetivo deste artigo foi refletir sobre a imaterialidade do patrimônio com base na noção de voz por meio do acontecimento black bloc, em junho de 2013, tendo como referencial teórico Gilles Deleuze, Félix Guattari e Jacques Lacan. A noção de voz diferencia-se da de fala, da de linguagem e da dos dispositivos de captura do sujeito. A voz desestrutura a fala que integra os discursos, entre eles o da mídia corporativa, que criminaliza a ação de manifestantes que elegem patrimônios materiais como alvo. As práticas que colocam em xeque a ordem estabelecida são aberturas para novos sentidos sobre o espaço urbano e os processos de subjetivação. Matérias e vídeos sobre protestos de junho de 2013 foram fontes para a reflexão. Considerou-se que os protestos com ações em edificações evidenciam a importância do enfoque na imaterialidade do patrimônio.

Oral cancer is a worrying disease which claims for actions aiming its early diagnosis and prevention. Objective: To describe lesions diagnosed during oral cancer prevention campaign performed in the city of Fernandópolis, Brazil, in 2014. Material and methods: Patients who attended for the basic health units of the city of Fernandópolis on the day of the campaign were examined by a previously trained dentist who searched for oral lesions suggestive for oral squamous cell carcinoma or potentially malignant lesions. Patients with suspicious lesions were scheduled for re-evaluation by an expert in oral diseases for obtaining the right diagnosis of the lesions. Results: 1,003 patients were examined during the campaign. Among them, 94 presented oral lesions, although, only 54 attended for re-evaluation and adequate diagnosis conduct by the dentist expert in oral diseases. Of the re-evaluated patients, 42 (77.77%) were diagnosed with oral benign lesions, whereas 13 (24.07%) were diagnosed with normal oral variation and only 1 (0.09%) was diagnosed with oral squamous cell carcinoma. Conclusion: Low oral malignant lesions diagnosis rates found on this campaign might be due to lack of methodology, which needs to be improved aiming to reach patients in real risk groups for oral cancer development. Furthermore, based on the rated of benign lesions and normal oral variations, dentists need more continued education regarding oral cancer for clinically detect oral malignant lesions and instruct patients regarding this malignancy.
