Authors: Manzano Winckler Eleonor , Martins Silva Rocha Jakeline
Published: August 2023

O presente artigo trata dos casos em que é útil constituir uma holding familiar como planejamento sucessório, a qual usa da blindagem patrimonial como forma de proteção do patrimônio. É um instituto relativamente novo no direito brasileiro, que atualmente vem sendo muito vendido por advogados e contadores como uma solução tributária e burocrática para a sucessão.  O objetivo da pesquisa, portanto, é, por meio da pesquisa bibliográfica, e do método dedutivo, apurar se a constituição de uma holding familiar é efetiva para concretização do planejamento sucessório, ou seja, se acelera a transferência do patrimônio e reduz a carga tributária desse, bem como em quais casos é adequada a sua constituição.
A POSSIBILIDADE JURÍDICA DE APLICAÇÃO DO DIREITO AO ESQUECIMENTO AOS EGRESSOS DO SISTEMA PRISIONAL
Authors: AMORIM ZIMBRA ELDISLANE , MARTINS LOBO MARCELO , CORDEIRO OLIVEIRA PEDRO PAULO
Published: August 2023

Há mais de três décadas o sistema prisional brasileiro vem sendo alvo de intensas críticas, tendo em vista que desde a década de 1990, passa por uma grave crise caracterizada por elementos como a superlotação, condições insalubres e desumanas, violência, bem como a falta de efetiva reintegração social. É preciso salientar que a privação da liberdade não deve ser marcada pela exclusão daqueles que se encontram encarcerados, devendo o Estado zelar pela sua reintegração pacífica e harmoniosa à sociedade. Diante desse cenário, a discussão em torno dos direitos dos egressos do sistema penitenciário tem se tornando cada vez mais relevante. Entre as diversas questões envolvidas nesse contexto destaca-se o direito ao esquecimento, definido como a possibilidade de que indivíduos que tenham cumprido sua pena tenham a oportunidade de reconstruir suas vidas sem serem constantemente lembrados de seus erros do passado. Assim, esse artigo científico tem por objetivo analisar a viabilidade jurídica de emprego do direito ao esquecimento aos egressos do sistema prisional. Para tanto, é essencial realizar um panorama sobre a atual situação do sistema prisional brasileiro; descrever a execução penal e a assistência ao preso e ao egresso; e explanar acerca da prerrogativa do direito ao esquecimento. A escolha dessa temática pode ser justificada em razão da necessidade de se debater e buscar possíveis soluções pelos desafios enfrentados pelos ex-detentos com relação à superação de estigmas e preconceitos. No que se refere à metodologia, o presente estudo consiste em uma pesquisa qualitativa, baseada no método de abordagem dedutivo, tendo como técnica de pesquisa a revisão bibliográfica, bem como a análise jurisprudencial.

Building a Sustainable Social Feedback Loop: A Machine Intelligence Approach for Twitter Opinion Mining
Authors: Abdelhafeez Ahmed , Aziz Alber , Khalil Nariman
Published: August 2023

This paper presents a sustainable machine intelligence approach for Twitter opinion mining, focusing on building a socially responsible feedback loop. We propose a methodology that combines advanced machine learning algorithms with eco-conscious practices to extract sentiment-related insights from Twitter data while minimizing environmental impact. The preprocessing steps involve removing special characters, tokenization, stop word removal, handling user handles and URLs, and lemmatization or stemming. Sentiment classification is performed using the Extra Tree Classifier, an ensemble learning algorithm that incorporates random feature selection and bagging techniques. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach in accurately classifying tweets into positive, negative, and neutral sentiment categories. The visualizations of class distribution, number of tokens per tweet, and word clouds provide further insights into the sentiment landscape on Twitter. Our research contributes to the development of sustainable and inclusive approaches for Twitter opinion mining, ensuring minimal environmental impact while capturing valuable sentimental information.

Cytokine storms are associated with severe pathological damage and death in some diseases. Excessive activation of M1 macrophages and the subsequent secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines are a major cause of cytokine storms. Therefore, promoting the polarization of M2 macrophages to restore immune balance is a promising therapeutic strategy for treating cytokine storm syndrome (CSS). This study was aimed at investigating the potential protective effects of leucine on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced CSS in mice and exploring the underlying mechanisms. CSS was induced by LPS administration in mice, which were concurrently administered leucine orally. In vitro, BMDMs were polarized to M1 and M2 phenotypes with LPS and IL-4, respectively, and treated with leucine. Leucine decreased mortality in mice treated with lethal doses of LPS. Specifically, leucine decreased M1 polarization and promoted M2 polarization, thus diminishing pro-inflammatory cytokine levels and ameliorating CSS in mice. Further studies revealed that leucine induced macrophage polarization through the mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1)/liver X receptor α (LXRα) pathway, which synergistically enhanced the expression of the IL-4-induced M2 marker Arg1 and subsequent M2 polarization. In summary, this study revealed that leucine ameliorates CSS in LPS mice by promoting M2 polarization through the mTORC1/LXRα/Arg1 signaling pathway. Our findings indicate that a fundamental link between metabolism and immunity contributes to the resolution of inflammation and the repair of damaged tissues.

Evaluating the Long-Term Effect of Integrated Nutrients of Pome, Cow Dung and NPK on Soil Chemical Properties under a Garden-Egg Field
Authors: I. K. Ipinmoye , O. G. Dayo-Olagbende
Published: August 2023

Soil amendments have been found to have a long-term effect on soil either positively or negatively, several soil management researches have been able to establish that sole application of inorganic fertilizer particularly nitrogen fertilizers can leave residual hydrogen ions in the soil which causes soil acidity over time. This study investigated the residual effects of different soil amendments of Palm Oil Mill Effluents (POME), cow dung, and NPK fertilizer, on soil chemical properties in two locations: Ekiti State University Teaching and Research Farm (EKSU) and Onu-Ijelu High School Agricultural Farm. The aim is to evaluate the long-term impact of these commonly used organic and inorganic nutrient sources on soil properties. The research utilizes a randomized complete block deign replicated three times to test the residual effect of the treatments. The research was divided into first and second trial, the result presented here is based on the outcome of the second trial. At the termination of the residual trial, it was found that organic matter contents of soils treated with cow-dung and POME increased while that of the NPK fertilizer reduced. There was a decrease in soil pH on soils treated with NPK fertilizer but found to increase on soils treated with POME and cow-dung. Other nutrient elements including exchangeable cations were also found to increase in soils with POME and Cow-dung. This phenomenon was attributed to mineralization process which made nutrients stored-up in these organic materials to be released slowly and at the same time reducing their loss from the soil. It was concluded that nutrients from organic sources have a longer residual advantage to soil and can be used in combination with inorganic fertilizer for better soil management. The findings from these result provides valuable insights into the long-term effect of these soil amendments and can help farmers and researchers make informed decisions about their appropriate and sustainable use in agriculture.

Published: August 2023

Construction of Balanced Incomplete Block Designs (BIBD) is a combination problem that involves the arrangement of \(\mathit{v}\) treatments into b blocks each of size \(\mathit{k}\) such that each treatment is replicated exactly \(\mathit{r}\) times in the design and a pair of treatments occur together in \(\lambda\) blocks. Several methods of constructing BIBDs exist. However, these methods still cannot be used to design all BIBDs. Therefore, several BIBDs are still unknown because a definite construction method for all BIBDs is still unknown. The study aimed to develop a new construction method that could aid in constructing more BIBDs. The study derived a new class of BIBD from un-reduced BIBD with parameters \(\mathit{v}\) and \(\mathit{k}\) such that \(\mathit{k} \ge\) 3 through selection of all blocks within the un-reduced BIBD that contains a particular treatment \(\mathit{i}\) then in the selected blocks treatment delete treatment \(\mathit{i}\) and retain all the other treatments. The resulting BIBD was Derived Reduced BIBD with parameters \(v^*=v-1, b^*=\left(\begin{array}{c}v-1 \\ k-1\end{array}\right), k^*=k-1, r^*=\left(\begin{array}{c}v-2 \\ k-2\end{array}\right), \lambda=\left(\begin{array}{c}v-3 \\ k-3\end{array}\right)\). In conclusion, the construction method was simple and could be used to construct several BIBDs, which could assist in solving the problem of BIBD, whose existence is still unknown.

A field experiment entitled “Effect of inorganic fertilizers in combination with biofertilizers on nutrient content and uptake of kharif maize” was conducted at Agriculture College Farm, Bapatla, during both kharif 2020 and 2021. The experiment was laid out in randomized block design (RBD) with seven treatments and replicated thrice. The treatments consisted of T1- Control; T2- 100% RDF; T3- 125% RDF; T4 – 100% RDF + VAM; T5- 100% RDF +VAM + Azospirillum + PSB; T6- 75 % RDF + VAM; T7- 75 % RDF + VAM + Azospirillum + PSB. During kharif in two years of study significantly higher nitrogen content and uptake was recorded with 125 % RDF (T3) it was on par with 100% RDF + VAM + Azospirillum + PSB (T5) and 100% RDF + VAM (T4). The maximum nitrogen content and uptake was significantly influenced due to various level of inorganic fertilizers. Higher phosphorus, potassium and sulphur (non-significant) content and uptake were recorded in the treatment T5 that received 100% RDF +VAM + Azospirillum + PSB and it was on par with treatment which received 75 % RDF + VAM + Azospirillum + PSB (T7), 125 % RDF (T3) and 100% RDF + VAM (T4) at knee high, tasseling and harvest stage of maize. The results revealed that application of biofertilizers along with inorganic fertilizers significantly increased plant nutrient content and uptake of maize crop.

Aims: Pench Tiger Reserve (PTR) is known for its rich biodiversity comprising of tropical deciduous forests as their primary forest type. Tropical deciduous forests are enriched with economically important species. They serve as habitat areas for most of the wild animals for their food and shelter. So, a phytosociological investigation was carried out in PTR to know the information on plant cover dynamics related to human activity, climate change, and all other factors affecting plant development.

Place and Duration of Study: Pench Tiger Reserve (PTR), June 2021 to December 2022.

Methodology: The study was carried out by laying out 47 sample plots in the PTR by dividing Tiger Reserve into 7 ranges. The plot size was 0.1 ha with 31.62 m x 31.62 m quadrats. Varied diversity indices such as Simpson, Shannon–Weiner, species evenness, and IVI were calculated according to standard formulae. Carbon stock, vegetation analysis and IVI value of each species were calculated and analysed.

Results: A total of 102 species, comprising 90 genera and 44 families, were reported. The dominant family in the study area was Leguminosae, followed by Malvaceae and Poaceae. The Shannon–Weiner index was 2.92 and the Simpson index was 0.103, indicating moderate diversity with less dominance of trees, saplings, and herb layer in the area. Top five species holding highest IVI value are Tectona grandis (66.20), Lagerstroemia parviflora (20.44), Chloroxylon swietenia (19.91), Lannea coromandelica (18.35), and Terminalia tomentosa (16.62).

Conclusions: As a part of long–term monitoring programme for the tree communities in the Pench Tiger Reserve, the current study has generated baseline data that will be used to evaluate the current ecological effects of ongoing and future climate change.

The present research was conducted to investigate and assess the effectiveness of fungicides and herbicides in controlling the foot rot disease caused by the fungus Sclerotium rolfsii in wheat crops. Foot rot of wheat caused by Sclerotium rolfsii Sacc. has a major constraint and potential  threat to successful wheat cultivation. Therefore affords were made to screen the different systemic, contact and combination of fungicides and herbicides in vitro condition against Sclerotium rolfsii.  Different fungicides against S. rolfsii were tested in vitro. The efficacy of two systemic fungicides (Tricyclazole 75%W.P. & Carbendazim 50% WP); two non-systemic fungicides (Mancozeb 75%WP & Copper oxychloride 50% WP); one contact fungicides Propineb 70%WP and one combo fungicides (Metalaxyl 8%+Mancozeb 64%) were evaluated at different concentrations (50,150 and 250 ppm) on the development of S. rolfsii on Potato dextrose agar (PDA) medium using poisoned food technique. Among the six fungicides, Mancozeb was found best at all the concentrations followed by Tricyclazole at higher concentrations which inhibit the growth of S. rolfsii. Another method used for management strategy was herbicide for inhibiting the mycelial growth of S. Rolfsii. In vitro efficacy of selective herbicides viz. (Metribuzin 70% WP & Oxadiargyl 80% WP), systemic herbicide viz. (Pyrazosulfuron Ethyl 10% WP & Metsulfuron Methyl 20% WP) and one combo herbicides viz. (Bensulfuron Methyl 0.6% + Pretilachlor 6% GR) were tested at their recommended concentrations. Among them metribuzin showed  80.00 % growth inhibition, succeeded by   Pyrazosulfuron ethyl (51.85%) and Bensulfuron methyl + Pretilachlor (45.92%).

Published: August 2023

Background and Purpose: Nearly one third of stroke survivors experiencing swallowing dysfunction called Dysphagia, in addition to the motor and sensory impairments. Post stroke dysphagia is associated with increased mortality and morbidity due to aspiration pneumonia, and malnutrition. Feedback can be advocated for enhancing outcomes in dysphagia rehabilitation. However, biofeedback in swallowing therapy is not routinely used. Hence, we tested the functional outcome of cumulative effect of surface Electromyograpy (sEMG) biofeedback adjunct to swallowing exercises summated with visual, auditory and tactile feedback which engross and stimulates active participation of the patients during the therapy of dysphagia rehabilitation.

Methods: This study included 12 stroke patients with swallowing difficulty allocated into control and interventional group with 6 subjects in each. Swallowing function was evaluated using Functional Oral Intake Scale (FOIS), Baseline Surface Electromyography (sEMG) of Suprahyoid muscle and Presence of Nasogastric tube.  Interventional group received Feedback based therapy along with conventional therapy for 30 to 40 minutes a day for10 days and control group received conventional therapy for 10 days. The post interventional outcome of FOIS, Average of surface Electromyography (sEMG) of suprahyoid muscle was evaluated.

Results: The Nasogastric tube was removed in all patients of experimental group after intervention and established initiation of oral feeding. The result showed improvement in functional oral intake scale after intervention. The muscle activity noted in experimental group was greater than the control group (p<0.05).

Conclusion: We conclude that Feedback based therapy protocol shows good improvement in post stroke patients with dysphagia. Inclusion of this protocol in therapy may influence standards of care and best practices for post stroke dysphagia patients.

The Registration Number: This trial was registered in Clinical Trials Registry – India and the trial registration number is CTRI/2020/05/025356.

Importance

Evidence on cardiovascular benefits and safety of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors is mainly from placebo-controlled trials. Therefore, the comparative effectiveness and safety of individual SGLT-2 inhibitors remain unknown.

Objective

To compare the use of canagliflozin or dapagliflozin with empagliflozin for a composite outcome (myocardial infarction [MI] or stroke), heart failure hospitalization, MI, stroke, all-cause death, and safety outcomes, including diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), lower-limb amputation, bone fracture, severe urinary tract infection (UTI), and genital infection and whether effects differed by dosage or cardiovascular disease (CVD) history.

Design, Setting, and Participants

This comparative effectiveness study using target trial emulation included adults with type 2 diabetes (T2D) using 3 US claims databases using data from August 2014 through June 2020. The study was conducted from August 2023 to July 2024, with a follow-up period of up to 8 years, and the analysis was completed in July 2024.

Exposures

First dispensing of canagliflozin, dapagliflozin, or empagliflozin without any use of SGLT-2 inhibitors during the prior 365 days.

Main outcomes and measures

Database-specific models were weighted using propensity score matching-weights to adjust for 129 confounders. Hazard ratios and 95% CIs for outcomes were estimated using weighted Cox proportional hazards models. HRs were pooled across databases using a fixed-effect meta-analysis.

Results

: Across the databases, 232 890 patients receiving canagliflozin, 129 881 patients receiving dapagliflozin, and 295 043 patients receiving empagliflozin were identified. Compared with empagliflozin initiators, those receiving canagliflozin or dapagliflozin were less likely to have diabetes-related conditions or a history of CVD at baseline. For MI/stroke risk, both canagliflozin (HR, 0.98; 95% CI, 0.91-1.05) and dapagliflozin (HR, 0.95; 95% CI, 0.89-1.03) were comparable to empagliflozin. For heart failure hospitalization, dapagliflozin initiators had a higher risk (HR, 1.19; 95% CI, 1.02-1.39), particularly at the low dose of 5 mg (HR, 1.30; 95% CI, 1.12-1.50). These findings were consistent across subgroups of CVD history. For safety events, compared with empagliflozin, canagliflozin initiators had a lower risk of genital infections (HR, 0.94; 95% CI, 0.91-0.97) but a higher risk of severe UTIs (HR, 1.13; 95% CI, 1.03-1.24), and dapagliflozin initiators had lower risks of genital infections (HR, 0.92; 95% CI, 0.89-0.95) and DKA (HR, 0.78; 95% CI, 0.68-0.90).

Conclusions and Relevance

This study found that individual SGLT-2 inhibitors demonstrated comparable cardiovascular effectiveness at clinically effective doses, though low-dose dapagliflozin showed a reduced benefit for heart failure hospitalization compared with empagliflozin.

Authors: Desgagnés Noémie , King James A. , Kline Gregory A. , Seiden-Long Isolde , Leung Alexander A.
Published: January 2025

Importance

Using albumin-adjusted calcium is commonly recommended for for measuring calcium, but with little empirical evidence to support the practice.

Objective

To assess the correlation between total calcium measurements (with or without adjustment) vs the ionized calcium level as a reference standard.

Design, Setting, and Participants

This was a population-based cross-sectional study in the province of Alberta, Canada, including adults tested for serum total calcium and ionized calcium simultaneously between January 1, 2013, and October 31, 2019. Statistical analysis was performed from March 2023 to October 2024.

Main Measures and Outcomes

The correlation between unadjusted and adjusted total calcium measurements (using 10 formulas) and the ionized calcium level was evaluated, along with the potential association with the classification of calcium status.

Results

Among 22 658 patients included, 11 889 (52.5%) were female and 10 769 (47.5%) were male; the median (IQR) age was 60 (47-72) years. The unadjusted total calcium (R2 = 71.7%; 95% CI, 71.1%-72.2%) had a stronger correlation with ionized calcium than the commonly used simplified Payne formula (ie, total calcium [mmol/L] + 0.02 [40 − albumin (g/L)]) (R2 = 68.9%; 95% CI, 68.0%-69.6%) and correlated similarly to other formulas (Payne: lowest R2 = 60.3%; 95% CI, 59.3%-61.3%; and James: highest R2 = 76.7%; 95% CI, 76.1%-77.3%). When classifying patients into categories of hypocalcemia, normocalcemia, or hypercalcemia, unadjusted total calcium had the best overall agreement (74.5%) with ionized calcium compared with albumin-adjusted calcium using the original Payne and simplified Payne formulas (agreement 63.0% and 58.7%, respectively). Misclassification using the adjustment formulas was worse in the presence of hypoalbuminemia (albumin level <30 g/L).

Conclusions and Relevance

In this cross-sectional study drawn from a contemporaneous population, there appeared to be heavy reliance on adjustment formulas for calcium in clinical practice with little gain but considerable risk of misclassification of true calcium status, especially in the presence of hypoalbuminemia. These results suggest that unadjusted total calcium was the best and most practical alternative to ionized calcium.
