Authors: Sutoyo Ahmad , Anwar Umar
Published: April 2021

This research focuses on implementation, benefits, and to find out the problems faced in the treatment of prisoners with a transgender character. In this study raised the issue of how the officers and other prisoners treat transgender inmates in Penitentiary and how they affect the health, safety, and psychological well-being of transgender inmates in the Sumbawa Besar Class IIA Penitentiary. This study uses interview and observation research methods, which describe the treatment of prisoners with a transgender character, then analyzed and concluded using a qualitative approach. Based on the analysis, it was found that the treatment of transgender inmates was considered very necessary to be carried out. Prisoners with transgender characteristics are prisoners who are unique and different from prisoners in general. Generally, prisoners with the transgender character who are spread across prisons throughout Indonesia are men whose gender is women or better known as transvestites. Prisoners with a transgender character are very vulnerable to adverse treatment by other prisoners, and can also have a negative influence on other prisoners. Special treatment of prisoners with transgender character is deemed very necessary, starting from the placement in individual blocks to specific guidance for transgender inmates. There are obstacles encountered in its implementation, including the procurement of individual blocks of prisoners with transgender character and the understanding of Correctional Officers of the problems and irregularities that will be caused by the presence of transgender inmates in prison.

Published: April 2021

Probation Officer has a very strategic role in the Indonesian correctional system. As the spearhead of implementing the correctional function, they have a very large responsibility. Meanwhile, the ratio of the probation officer number to prisoners is still unequal. Moreover, the huge scope of the probation officer’s role implements of their works in the field often met obstacles so that it cannot run optimally. Develop of the module for designing the guidance program to a client is structured as an innovation and strategy to be able to help the probation officer carry out their duties, especially in the matter of client intervention. This module includes a practical guide for probation officer to be able to design a client’s intervention program that is based on client needs by considering aspect of probation officer and client's own capacity (possibility principle) also maximizing the involvement of related parties, namely guarantors/bailsman, families and communities to participate in helping the intervention process that has been designed. These aim to improve the continuous process of the mentoring program (sustainability principle)
Demonstratives as bundlers of conceptual structure
Authors: Wittenberg Eva , Momma Shota , Kaiser Elsi
Published: April 2021

Pronoun resolution has long been central to psycholinguistics, but research has mostly focused on personal pronouns (“he”/“she”). However, much of linguistic reference is to events and objects, in English often using demonstrative pronouns, like “that”, and the non-personal pronoun “it”, respectively. Very little is known about potential form-specific preferences of non-personal and demonstrative pronouns and the cognitive mechanisms involved in reference using demonstratives. We present a novel analysis arguing that the bare demonstrative “that” serves a different function by bundling, and making linguistically accessible, complex conceptual structures, while the non-personal pronoun “it” has a form-specific preference to refer to noun phrases mentioned in the previous discourse. In two English self-paced reading studies, each replicated once with slight variations, we show that readers are reading the demonstrative slower throughout, independently of frequency or complexity of the referent, as a reflection of differences in processing demonstratives vs. pronouns. These findings contribute to two distinct but connected research areas: First, they are compatible with an emergent experimental literature showing that pronominal reference to events is preferably done with demonstratives. Second, our model of demonstratives as conceptual bundlers provides a unified framework for future research on demonstratives as operators on the interface between language and broader cognition.

Authors: Fagundes Caroline , Santos Geraldine Alves dos
Published: April 2021

Introdução: O idoso com comprometimento da cognição pode apresentar déficits de mobilidade, lentificação de movimentos, alterações comportamentais e menor tempo de reação frente aos desequilíbrios, predispondo-o a quedas. Além disso, com o envelhecimento ocorre a redução da flexibilidade das articulações, resultando em desvios posturais e limitação da mobilidade do idoso, dificultando a manutenção do equilíbrio estático e da marcha segura. Objetivo: Analisar a relação do risco de quedas com o desempenho cognitivo e postura estática no envelhecimento. Método: Participaram dessa pesquisa 107 sujeitos, com idade entre 60 e 89 anos, distribuídos em 2 grupos: o primeiro formado por 54 indivíduos praticantes de hidroginástica e o segundo composto por 53 idosos participantes de um programa de informática. Para a coleta de dados os seguintes instrumentos foram utilizados: Mini Exame do Estado Mental, Escala de Eficácia de Quedas, Escala de Equilíbrio de Berg e Postural Assessment Software (SAPO). Resultados: Constatou-se bom desempenho cognitivo, baixo risco de queda e alterações posturais dentro da normalidade. Além disso, observou-se que o risco de quedas está diretamente relacionado com o ângulo da cifose torácica e ângulo do tornozelo. Também foi identificada relação indireta do risco de quedas com a auto eficácia de quedas e alinhamento vertical da cabeça (R2: 0,367). Conclusão: Observou-se relação significativa entre o risco de quedas, cognição, e postura estática em pessoas idosas. Baseado nos achados do presente estudo é possível elaborar medidas de prevenção a quedas em idosos.

The aim of this work was to compare three methods of estimating the optimal plot size for evaluating fresh matter in the IPR91-Baili and IPR92-Altar cultivars of buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum Moench). Sixteen uniformity trials (blank experiments) were conducted, eight with the IPR91-Baili cultivar and eight with the IPR92-Altar cultivar. The trials were carried out at eight different sowing times. The fresh matter was evaluated in 576 basic experimental units (BEU), each 1 m × 1 m in size (36 BEU per trial). The optimal plot size was determined using the method of modified maximum curvature, the linear response plateau model and the quadratic response plateau model. The optimal plot size differs between methods, and decreases in the following order: quadratic response plateau model, linear response plateau model and modified maximum curvature. The optimal plot size for evaluating fresh matter in the IPR91-Baili and IPR92-Altar cultivars of buckwheat is 7.60 m2. This size can be used as a reference for future experiments with buckwheat.

The development of new micromineral-biofortified Andean bean cultivars with a grain pattern that meets consumers’ requirements is unprecedented. This study proposes to obtain estimates of genetic parameters for technological-quality traits and micromineral concentration and to select superior Andean bean lines. The cross between cultivars Hooter and Cal 96 generated the recombinant inbred line population that was evaluated in the F5:6 and F5:7 generations. Technological quality was analyzed based on grain color determined in a colorimeter: L* (dark to light), a* (green to red) and b* (blue to yellow) values; and mass of 100 grains. Micromineral concentration (iron and zinc) was obtained by acid digestion. A significant genotype effect was found for all evaluated traits, except for zinc concentration in the F5:7 generation. L*, a* and b* showed high heritability (h2 ≥ 90.85%) and qualitative inheritance. High heritability (h2 ≥ 75.57%) was also observed for mass of 100 grains and iron and zinc concentrations, which exhibited quantitative inheritance. Grains of the cranberry bean lines DFA 39-18 and DFA 01-18 are very light (L* ≥ 52.18), with light red (a* ≤ 9.49) and light yellow (b* ≤ 16.00) shades; large (mass of 100 grains > 40 g); and have high iron concentrations (Fe ≥ 95.00 mg kg-1 dry matter). Grains of the red mottled bean lines DFA 03-18, DFA 27-18 and DFA 44-18 exhibited high technological quality, i.e., they are dark (33.11 < L* < 37.28), light red (16.24 < a*< 18.72) and very light yellow (b* ≤ 9.45) in shade, and large (mass of 100 grains > 40 g). These lines will be selected by the breeding program.

Vinasse, a waste from ethanol production, has been widely used as a means of fertigation in sugarcane. However, high dose limits application at and its effects on nutrient absorption and accumulation by the crop are not known. The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare, during the initial development of sugarcane, the effect of mineral fertilization and high doses of vinasse on the macronutrient and sodium contents of the top visible dewlap (TVD) leaf and their respective accumulations in the aerial part of the crop. The experiment was carried out in 100-dm3 pots filled with Argisol. The treatments consisted of five doses of vinasse (0, 150, 300, 600 and 1200 m3 ha-1) and an additional treatment with no vinasse and mineral fertilizer (500 kg ha-1 of the NPK 14-24-18 formulation). The levels of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium and sodium were evaluated in the TVD leaf at 120 days after planting and their accumulation in the aerial part of the plant at 210 days. Data were subjected to analysis of variance and compared using regression analysis and orthogonal contrasts. The vinasse doses applied did not adequately nourish the crop in macronutrients. Mineral fertilization provided higher N and P levels. The highest doses of vinasse provided higher levels of K, Ca and Mg and larger accumulations of N, P, K and Na, but were detrimental to the accumulation of Ca. The descending order of accumulation of macronutrients and sodium with mineral fertilization was P> Ca> N> K> Mg> Na. For the application of vinasse, the descending order was K> P> Ca> N> Na> Mg. In the absence of mineral fertilization and vinasse, the descending order was P> Ca> K> N> Mg> Na.

Multifunctional microorganisms (MMs) can have beneficial effects on plants through direct and indirect mechanisms. This study aimed to determine the effect of MMs on shoot and root biomass production; gas exchange; content of macronutrients in the shoots, roots and grains; yield components; and grain yield of common bean plants. A completely randomized design with twenty-six treatments and three replications was used under controlled conditions. Treatments consisted of the application of MMs and their combinations in pairs, with the nine rhizobacteria isolates BRM 32109, BRM 32110 and 1301 (Bacillus sp.), BRM 32111 and BRM 32112 (Pseudomonas sp.), BRM 32113 (Burkholderia sp.), BRM 32114 (Serratia sp.), 1381 (Azospirillum sp.) and Ab-V5 (Azospirillum brasilense); an edaphic fungal isolate T-26 (Trichoderma koningiopsis); and a control (without MMs). These MMs were applied at three time points: microbiolization of the seeds, watering the soil seven days after sowing (DAS) and spraying the plants with 21 DAS. In comparison to the control plants, the isolates 1301 and T-26, in addition to the combinations Ab-V5 + T-26, BRM 32114 + BRM 32110 and 1381 + T-26, provided better results, with an increase of 36.5% in the grain yield, a higher accumulation of biomass (78.0%) and a higher content of N, P and K (42.6, 67.8 and 25.7%, respectively) in the shoots of common bean plants. Therefore, the results allow us to infer that the use of MMs is a good strategy for increasing common bean grain yields.

Cheese is a popular product that integrates the diet of the majority of the population, almost on a daily basis. It is rich in nutrients and, therefore, also an excellent substrate for the multiplication of microorganisms, including pathogens. The microbiological contamination of these products is highly relevant to the industry, resulting in an economic loss, and to public health, due to the risk of causing foodborne diseases. The aim of this study was to evaluate the hygienic-sanitary quality and the presence of bacterial pathogens in the clandestine Minas Frescal cheeses sold in the street open markets of Araguaína, TO, Brazil. Twenty-one samples were collected to evaluate the presence of total (TC) and thermotolerant (TTC) coliforms, Escherichia coli, and the pathotypes enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC), and shiga toxin-producing E. coli (STEC) and enterohemorrhagic E. coli (EHEC), coagulase-positive staphylococci (CPS), Salmonella spp., and Listeria monocytogenes. The results showed that 100% of the cheese samples were in disagreement with the maximum standards of TC and TTC defined in the Brazilian legislation that regulates food quality control. In addition, 85.71% of the samples had values above the standard Brazilian maximum limit. In the study of diarrheagenic E. coli, 52.38%, 66.6%, and 4.76% of the samples were positive for EPEC, STEC, and EHEC, respectively, indicating fecal origin contamination of the samples and a potential consumer risk. No Salmonella spp. or Listeria monocytogenes were detected in these cheese samples. The high count of total and thermotolerant coliforms found in the samples demonstrates unsatisfactory sanitary conditions in the production, storage, and/or commercialization of this food product. The presence of EPEC, STEC, EHEC, and coagulase-positive staphylococci at high concentrations shows the health risk of the imminent consumption of Minas Frescal cheese.

The End of the Ottoman Empire and the creation of the Iraqi state beyond Sykes-Picot: Between Imperialism and Revolution
Authors: Nasser Reginaldo Mattar , Amaral Rodrigo Augusto Duarte
Published: April 2021

Há um consenso literatura acadêmica sobre a criação dos Estados modernos no Oriente Médio cujo ponto de partida para compreensão desse processo se dá no momento da desintegração do Império Otomano e sua substituição pelas potências europeias. No caso do Iraque, a campanha militar e os períodos de ocupação (1914-1920) e de mandato britânico (1920-1932) na Mesopotâmia prepararam o caminho para a criação do estado do Iraque, influenciando de forma significativa seu desenvolvimento político-histórico posterior.  No entanto, para além das ações diplomáticas estabelecidas por acordos e tratados internacionais sob a partir das diretrizes estabelecidas pela Liga das Nações, esse processo não ocorreu num espaço vazio como, frequentemente, é mencionado nessa mesma literatura. Os embates por acessos ao petróleo da região, exemplificado pela disputa da região de Mosul, demonstram o caráter político-econômico da construção das novas fronteiras.  Além disso, esse resultado não foi unicamente consequência de uma ação política planejada pelo Império Britânico, mas derivou também das revoltas anti-imperialistas em toda a região. Desta forma, o resultado político no Estado Iraque, e seu desenvolvimento subsequente, refletiu não apenas a presença das estruturas de poder imperiais, mas também devido a participação das comunidades e grupos locais, em conexão com movimentos internacionais.
Taxonomy of the Cixiidae (Hemiptera, Fulgoromorpha) from the Madeira archipelago
Authors: Freitas Énio , Aguín-Pombo Dora
Published: April 2021

Ninety percent of the Cixiidae of the Macaronesian archipelagos are endemic. Each archipelago has its own endemics reaching a total of 31 taxa. The Madeira archipelago comprises five species: Cixius madeirensis China, 1938, C. verticalis Noualhier, 1897, C. chaoensis China, 1938, Hyalesthes madeires Remane & Hoch, 1986 and H. portonoves Remane & Hoch, 1986. Good knowledge concerning taxonomy, habitat information and distribution are essential for the conservation of the biodiversity of this rich archipelago. However, due to intraspecific variation and incomplete descriptions, misidentifications of Madeira cixiids have been common. In this work, the taxonomy of this family is reviewed and ecological data based on material collected over more than forty years are presented. A new species, Cixius wollastoni sp. nov., is described. A new combination, Tachycixius chaoensis (China, 1938) comb. nov., is proposed, and a new record, Pentastiridius leporinus (Linnaeus, 1761), is reported. Lectotypes are designated for Tachycixius chaoensis and C. verticalis. The genital structures of the latter species are depicted for the first time. All species are diagnosed, described, photographed and illustrated, and an identification key for the family is provided. Thanks to this new information, Madeira together with Tenerife are the two Macaronesian islands with the highest number of endemic species of cixids.
Topics related to education in Baština journal between 1991 and 2020
Authors: Milenović Živorad , Minić Vesna
Published: April 2021

Education has always been socially conditioned. On the one hand, everything that happens in society necessarily reflects on the education process, and on the other hand, all changes in education cause changes in society. Baština journal, which used to be published by the Institute for the Study of Culture of Serbs, Montenegrins, Croats and Muslims in Priština from 1991 to 1997, and by the Institute for Serbian Culture in Priština since 1998, which has now been based in Leposavić since 1999, publishes papers in the field of social and humanistic sciences. These papers most often discuss topics in the field of Literature, History, History of Culture, Ethnology, Political Science and Sociology, and occasionally in the field of Ethnomusicology, Demography, Archeology, Art, Art History, Language, Literature and Aesthetics, while one journal issue published a special topic - Vladeta Vuković's Works. The journal has so far also included Discussions and Review, Chronicles and Composition. In this paper, the coauthors investigate the representation of education-related topics, as well as the character, scope and intensity of these topics in the Baština Journal from the first edition in 1991 to the latest edition in 2020. A retrospective study of scientific and professional papers showed that a total of 63 papers were published that directly and indirectly study education, primarily in the field of the history of pedagogy, general pedagogical topics and other education-related issues. These topics were mostly published within the History of Culture pillar. As a separate topic, Education was present only in two issues in 2007 and in one issue in 2009 and in the last two issues in 2020 within the Pedagogy course.
Cognitive niche
Authors: Petronić Đorđe , Vujović Igor
Published: April 2021

In a joint publication with Alfred Russell Wallace, Charles Darwin presented the theory which stated that all life forms were developed by natural selection in which the fight for survival had the effect similar to artificial intelligence applied to selective breeding. Despite a coincidence of views concerning the origin of life, these two scientists had their disagreements. Wallace argued that intelligence could have never arisen through the process of natural adaptation, but rather as a consequence of intelligent design. On the other hand, Darwin insisted that human intelligence could only be explained by the theory of evolution. This difference in point of views on the matter is a manifestation of the difference in the efforts to answer the question: "Why are people so intelligent?" In this context, the main aim of the study is to present a literature review concerning evolutionary psychology and to provide an explanation of the evolution of human intelligence. In other words, the study seeks to explain why people are able to accomplish such intellectual exploits as the ones found in mathematics, science, philosophy, law, etc., bearing in mind that such abilities or talents cannot be found in the original human habitat. The results have showed that evolutionary psychologists consider humans to be so intelligent due to the fact that they have evolved to fill the "cognitive niche". The cognitive niche is a survival mode characterized by managing the environment through mediating cognition and social cooperation.
Cardio-oncology: New challenge in clinical practice
Authors: Popović Srđan
Published: April 2021

There is a daily increase in the number of patients with malignant diseases, but with the advances in modern oncology research, the number of survivors treated with malignant diseases is becoming larger and larger. The survival rate after completing oncology therapy is increasing on a daily basis, so that malignant diseases belonging to the category of terminal diseases are now referred to as 'chronic illnesses'. In this specific group of patients, the risk from cardiovascular diseases is increasing nowadays. A new challenge for the future cardiologists will certainly pose the treatment of this group of patients. A cardiological approach in oncological patient treatment is an important issue. The cardiologist focuses on risk stratification and prevention of cardiovascular complications in the oncological patient in relation to his or her pre-existing condition, and in relation to the type of specific oncology therapy applied, and on further follow-up during therapy and after its completion. This implies that it is necessary to create cardio-oncology teams in our institutions treating the oncological patients. There is a considerable need for education in a new field, which presents the intersection between two clinical disciplines, i.e. cardiology and oncology, and for special education of cardiologists concerning all types of chemotherapy and their potential cardiotoxic effects. The oncologist, on the other hand, must be trained to recognize any possible early signs and symptoms of cardiac complications concerning the therapy applied and to seek further cardiac care for the patients. The aim of this review article is to assist the doctors treating this group of patients in their daily practice and to highlight the need for a multidisciplinary approach, as well as the creation of a cardio-oncology team for a comprehensive and integrative approach to a cardio-oncological patient.

Published: April 2021

The paper seeks to show the importance alternative pedagogical methods had when trying to reopen schools on-site and online. Resilient schools were not created in this pandemic. In previous natural disasters, educational institutions needed to used online resources to maintain schools open. A literature review is presented, aiming for answers on inclusion in flexible school settings, solutions for the digital divide and different responses to the crisis produced by the COVID-19 pandemic. Thus, Australia and New Zealand cases are presented, as well as introducing the flexischooling phenomenon and the digital divide. Both Australia and New Zealand recognise the rights for families to homeschool or to take children to alternative educational institutions, therefore, is legal. In the pair, it is observed how this legal status of alternative educational options both online and flexible, has strengthened the governmental response on closing the digital gap. Therefore, their reaction when lockdowns were ruled was significantly fast, especially in New Zealand. In conclusion, the article offers an interesting debate on the need for on-site education or flexibility when creating inclusive schools and critical thinkers, presenting both sides of the conversation. Lastly, it is highlighted the need to upgrade the school system to enhance a resilient response in future crisis.

Published: April 2021

Skin friction in marine vessels constitutes one of the major issues that have negative environmental and financial impact due to the increased energy consumption. In this paper, the combination of two skin friction reduction techniques of superhydrophobic coating and microbubble lubrication are investigated experimentally. Microbubbles of up to 20 [μm] are introduced in the boundary layer through microbubble generators attached on the stem of a 2.52 [m] long ship treated with a superhydrophobic nano-ceramic coating. Resistance measurements are conducted at various towing speeds and trim angles and a skin friction coefficient reduction of up to 2.15% is noted.

Authors: Yfantis Elias A. , Pariotis Efthymios G. , Zannis Theodoros C. , Asimakopoulou Konstantina
Published: April 2021

The energy and the exergy performance of a dual-loop Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC), which harvests exhaust heat from a two-stroke slow-speed main marine diesel engine of a bulk carrier is examined herein. An energy analysis is adopted to calculate the energy flows to the components of the high-temperature (HT) and the low-temperature (LT) loops of the bottoming ORC and through them, to calculate the energy efficiency of the ORC and the generated power from both expanders. Also, an exergy analysis is implemented to predict the irreversibility rates of the components of both HT and LT loops of the ORC system. Various organic fluids are examined for the HT and the LT ORC loops and the optimum combination is selected based on the results of a parametric analysis. The effect of ambient conditions on the energetic and exergetic performance of the dual-loop ORC is examined. The energy analysis of the bottoming dual-loop ORC is projected to a specific mission operational profile of a bulk carrier for predicting the benefits in fuel cost saving and CO2 and SO2 emission reduction compared to conventional vessel operation.
Pyoderma gangrenosum: An ulcerative variant developing at a paraincisional LSCS scar site
Authors: Pandeyy Kritika , Shishak Mansak , Yadav Neeraj
Published: April 2021

Pyoderma gangrenosum (PG) is an uncommon entity based on a diagnosis of exclusion. It can manifest itself mimicking various ulcerative cutaneous conditions and nonhealing wounds. With its less known etiology and presentation, there is a danger of mistreatment. Herein, we present an interesting case of pyoderma gangrenosum in a young woman, developing around the area of a lower segment Cesarean scar, but not involving the scar tissue. The PG was not associated with any underlying systemic ailments and responded well to a tapering dose of oral corticosteroids. Prompt diagnosis and initiation of therapy lead to a good response and favorable prognosis. Recognizing the atypical clinical presentations of PG is pertinent. Treatment with immunosuppressive agents and a multidisciplinary approach are recommended.

Sweet’s syndrome is an inflammatory disease that occurs mainly in young adults. Its clinical and histological aspects are usually characteristic. Its diagnostic criteria were proposed by von den Driesch. Two major and at least two minor criteria are required to establish the diagnosis. Sweet’s syndrome is classically associated with neutrophilic infiltrate. A few cases of Sweet’s syndrome with dense eosinophil infiltrate have been described. Here, we report a new case of eosinophil-rich Sweet’s syndrome in a young woman without underlying pathology.
Angiokeratoma corporis diffusum universale: A rare case report from Nepal
Authors: Paudel Vikash , Chudal Deepa
Published: April 2021

Angiokeratoma corporis diffusum universale, a clinical variant of angiokeratoma, is a generalized vascular ectasia that is associated with overlying epidermal changes rather than a true vascular neoplasm. It is the cutaneous hallmark of several rare inherited lysosomal diseases associated with specific enzyme deficiencies in the metabolism of glycoproteins. Herein, we present possibly the first case report from Nepal of angiokeratoma corporis diffusum universale in a 14-year-old female from consanguineous parents who presented herself with characteristic clinical and laboratory features of angiokeratoma corporis diffusum with progressive mental and motor developmental delay along with seizures, dystonia, and recurrent chest infections. Resource constraints limited confirmation with an enzyme assay and electron microscopy. We report this unusual case with the intention of re-emphasizing the importance of clinical evaluation in reaching a diagnosis in a resource-deficient setting.
An axillary granular cell tumor: A rare neoplasm at an unusual site
Authors: Msakni Issam , Khemir Aya , Gargouri Faten
Published: April 2021

A granular cell tumor (GCT) is a rare neoplasm occurring usually in submucosal and subcutaneous tissues anywhere in the body, affecting mainly the head and neck. GCTs at unusual anatomic sites, such as the breast or the axillary extension, could be taken for invasive carcinoma. We report the case of a 30-year-old male who presented himself with an axillary nodule. A physical examination revealed a firm and painless subcutaneous tumor on ulcerated skin. Lymphoma and lymph node metastasis were suspected. An imaging survey was negative outside the axillary nodule. The tumor was surgically removed. A microscopic examination showed the typical features of a benign GCT. Surgical margins were negative. No recurrence has been observed within a 6-month follow-up period. A GCT can mimic a malignancy since it presents itself as an axillary nodule, and requires complete surgical resection with clear margins.
Primary essential cutis verticis gyrata – A case report
Authors: Mainali Priyanka , Joshi Smita
Published: April 2021

Cutis verticis gyrata (CVG) is a rare condition of the scalp characterized by convoluted folds and furrows produced by the excessive growth of the skin of the scalp and resembling the cerebral gyri. CVG can be identified as primary—essential or nonessential—or secondary. Herein, we report the case of a 20-year-old female with primary essential CVG, who presented herself with thickened and convoluted skin folds over the vertex and parietal region of the scalp persistent for one year prior without other symptoms. CVG is a rare congenital or acquired disease distinguished by redundancy of the scalp skin that resembles the cerebral gyri. The management of primary essential CVG can be symptomatic or surgical depending on the patient’s aesthetic expectations.

Herein, we report the case of a 58-year-old male who presented himself with a single, slowly progressive, asymptomatic lesion on the right forearm persistent for the last three years. Clinical evaluation revealed a single firm reddish nodule. Histopathological findings from a complete excision revealed a lipidized dermatofibroma, which was characterized by the accumulation of numerous foamy cells dissected by distinctive hyalinized wiry collagen fibers and the presence of foamy macrophages. Lipidized dermatofibroma—a rare variant of dermatofibroma—must be considered in the differential diagnosis of fibrohistiocytic lesions.
The missing study: a characterization of peer education practice

Peer education interventions have grown significantly in recent decades, but sociological studies on the subject are limited. To respond to this need, we carried out an exhaustive inventory and characterization of 67 peer education projects developed in Portugal. The information given by the project managers was processed using a content analysis technique. This practice is growing, benefiting from public and private promotion. Although it has demonstrated some efficacy, further improvements can be made. The characterization undertaken allowed us to build a typology that summarizes this practice and that can be useful for researchers and practitioners in a context of globalization of risks and increased social intervention and reflexivity.
Fear of crime perceptions of university students
Authors: Köseoğlu Mualla
Published: April 2021

In this research, university students’ perceptions of fear of crime are examined in terms of sex, nationality, living area, marital status, victimisation and disorder. The aim of the research is to observe fear of crime literature’s key parameters on university students. Data was obtained from 330 university students studying in one of the state universities through a survey. Bivariate and multivariate results show that female students experience a greater fear of crime compared to male students. Fear of crime is greater amongst Turkish students as opposed to Turkish Cypriot students. Also, it is found that a high perception of disorder factors has an impact on fear of crime among women. Lastly, this study found that neither direct nor indirect victimisation has an impact on fear of crime.
El mercado global de apuestas deportivas online: terreno fértil para fraudes y crímenes
Authors: Moriconi Bezerra Marcelo , Almeida João Paulo
Published: April 2021

Las nuevas tecnologías han modificado radicalmente la industria de las apuestas deportivas. En la actualidad, millones de personas apuestan en línea y en tiempo real, en una amplia gama de eventos que se desarrollan por todo el mundo. Este mercado global ha generado diversas oportunidades para el crimen y el fraude. En el panorama actual, el amaño de partidos ha evolucionado de ser un fenómeno histórico dentro del mundo de los deportes a un problema criminal global que involucra a organizaciones criminales transnacionales, a jugadores profesionales, a empresarios, árbitros, deportistas e intermediarios. A pesar de que la manipulación de competiciones se ha posicionado en la agenda pública como la mayor amenaza contra la sustentabilidad del deporte, la complejidad y extensión del nuevo mercado de apuestas generan áreas de riesgo para el delito que van más allá del simple amaño de partidos. El artículo tiene el objetivo pedagógico y práctico de explicar los cambios en el mercado y tipos de apuestas deportivas y describir las nuevas estructuras de oportunidad para el delito y el fraude que surgen del nuevo marco comercial. Todas estas cuestiones, poco estudiadas, abren una ventana de oportunidad para nuevas líneas de investigación multidisciplinar sobre deporte, criminalidad, economía y políticas públicas.
Syntactic- and morphology-based text augmentation framework for Arabic sentiment analysis
Authors: Duwairi Rehab , Abushaqra Ftoon
Published: April 2021

Arabic language is a challenging language for automatic processing. This is due to several intrinsic reasons such as Arabic multi-dialects, ambiguous syntax, syntactical flexibility and diacritics. Machine learning and deep learning frameworks require big datasets for training to ensure accurate predictions. This leads to another challenge faced by researches using Arabic text; as Arabic textual datasets of high quality are still scarce. In this paper, an intelligent framework for expanding or augmenting Arabic sentences is presented. The sentences were initially labelled by human annotators for sentiment analysis. The novel approach presented in this work relies on the rich morphology of Arabic, synonymy lists, syntactical or grammatical rules, and negation rules to generate new sentences from the seed sentences with their proper labels. Most augmentation techniques target image or video data. This study is the first work to target text augmentation for Arabic language. Using this framework, we were able to increase the size of the initial seed datasets by 10 folds. Experiments that assess the impact of this augmentation on sentiment analysis showed a 42% average increase in accuracy, due to the reliability and the high quality of the rules used to build this framework.
Effectiveness of Planned Teaching on Knowledge regarding First Aid for Burns and its Prevention among Parents of Children Under Five Years
Authors: Taksande Archana Lohave
Published: April 2021

Introduction: Naturally, the kids are curious. They begin exploring their environment and engaging with new objects as soon as they are mobile. But at the same time, while playing with fire or touching hot objects, they are likely to cause serious harm to themselves. Burn is characterised as damage to the skin or other organic tissue caused by thermal trauma, occurring when any or more of the skin cells or other tissue are killed by hot liquids, hot solids (contact burns), or flames (flame burns). Owing to radiation, radioactivity, strength, friction or chemical contact, burns are also considered to be skin or other organic tissue wounds. Aim: To determine the current awareness of parents of children under five years with respect to first aid for burns and prevention. Evaluating the efficacy of planned awareness teaching among parents and to associate the knowledge with the selected demographic variables. Materials and Methods: The present study was conducted in rural areas of Wardha, Maharashtra and 60 participants were recruited on the basis of inclusion criteria, using the purposeful technique of sampling. Structured questionnaires were the resources and the expected teaching was provided after the pre-test. Results: According to the findings of the analysis in the score of pre-test information, 30% of parents of under five years kids had poor awareness score level, 70% of the parents of under five kids had average awareness score level, mean knowledge score was 5.20±1.97, post-test 10% of the parents of under five years kids had average, 80% good and 10% with an outstanding degree of knowledge score, the mean knowledge score was 10.30±1.87. Mean percentage score, pre-test was 32.50±12.32 and post-test, it improved to 64.37±11.73, thus indicating improved understanding of first aid for burns and its prevention for most parents. Conclusion: It was statistically interpreted that the planned teaching program of the parents of children under five years on knowledge regarding emergency management and prevention of burns was very effective and has improved the knowledge significantly.

Published: April 2021

Introduction: There is increasing anecdotal evidence that olfactory and gustatory dysfunction may be associated with Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2). Aim: The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to find the association of olfactory and gustatory symptoms with Coronavirus Disease-19 (COVID-19) and estimate their pooled prevalence. Materials and Methods: PubMed, Embase, EBSCO and Cochrane databases were searched for cross-sectional, cohort and case-control studies evaluating olfactory and gustatory symptoms in patients with COVID-19. The search terms included COVID-19, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2, coronavirus, olfaction disorders, anosmia, hyposmia, dysgeusia and ageusia. Random effects model was used to calculate a pooled Odds Ratio (OR) and pooled prevalence. Results: Total 14 studies were included in qualitative synthesis and 13 studies were incorporated in quantitative synthesis, involving 3,125 patients. The pooled OR was 15.59 reflecting that smell and taste disorders were strongly associated with COVID-19. The pooled prevalence of olfactory and gustatory dysfunction was 56% and 44%, respectively. Conclusion: It can be concluded that there is a significant association between olfactory and gustatory symptoms and COVID-19. Majority of the studies support the use of these symptoms as screening tools for COVID-19.
