A Review of intellectual property rights: The weak link with the African Traditional knowledge
Authors: Wabwire Jonai
Published: December 2021

Protecting traditional knowledge (TK) has been acknowledged in various discussions under the umbrella of a number of inter-governmental organizations that deal with biodiversity, the environment, indigenous peoples’ rights, human rights, among others. It has, however, been difficult to arrive at a consensus on the proper modality that can serve the needs and desires of Indigenous and Local Communities (ILCs) in their economic and cultural participation. The paper examines the requirements for the protection of TK and explores the modalities of TK protection at the international level for regulating the control of, access to and utilization of biodiversity associated with it. It is argued that any modality of TK protection should incorporate defensive and positive protection that address gaps in protecting TK. Protection of TK should, therefore, involve identifying different modalities, including those based on Intellectual Property, to fit the nature and use of TK in particular contexts. The paper makes a case for a shift in strategy for protecting TK by adopting pluralistic modalities that address the protection needs of ILCs, depending on the purpose and the context in which the knowledge is practiced.
In vivo evaluation of BACtrack® Skyn™: a discrete wrist-worn transdermal alcohol monitoring device marketed to the public
Authors: Olson Aaron
Published: December 2021

A discrete wrist-worn transdermal alcohol monitoring device,
the BACtrack® Skyn™, was evaluated in a subject over three drinking
sessions. The relationship between transdermal alcohol concentration
(TAC) and breath alcohol concentration (BrAC) was evaluated. The
relationship amongst contemporaneous TAC/BrAC measurements revealed an
R of 0.65, while the relationship in the 45-minute
post-drinking phase revealed an R of 0.89. Results
obtained show promise for its use. Further research is needed with many
subjects in real-world drinking situations.
Target enrichment of long open reading frames and ultraconserved elements to link microevolution and macroevolution in non-model organisms

Published: December 2021

Despite the increasing accessibility of high-throughput sequencing,
obtaining high-quality genomic data on non-model organisms without
proximate well-assembled and annotated genomes remains challenging. Here
we describe a workflow that takes advantage of distant genomic resources
and ingroup transcriptomes to select and jointly enrich long open
reading frames (ORFs) and ultraconserved elements (UCEs) from genomic
samples for integrative studies of microevolutionary and
macroevolutionary dynamics. This workflow is applied to samples of the
African unionid bivalve tribe Coelaturini (Parreysiinae) at basin and
continent-wide scales. Our results indicate that ORFs are efficiently
captured without prior identification of intron-exon boundaries. The
enrichment of UCEs was less successful, but nevertheless produced a
substantial dataset. Exploratory continent-wide phylogenetic analyses
with ORF supercontigs (>515,000 parsimony informative
sites) resulted in a fully resolved phylogeny, the backbone of which was
also retrieved with UCEs (>11,000 informative sites),
although some branches lack support in the latter case. Variant calling
on the exome of Coelaturini from the Malawi Basin produced
~2,000 SNPs per population pair. Nucleotide diversity
and population differentiation was low compared to previous estimates in
mollusks, but comparable to those in recently diversifying Malawi
cichlids and other taxa at an early stage of speciation. Skimming
non-specific sequence data obtained for Coelaturini of the Malawi Basin,
we reconstructed the maternally-inherited mitogenome, which displays an
identical gene order to that of the most recent common ancestor of
Unionidae. Overall, our workflow and results provide exciting
perspectives for the development of integrative genomic studies on
micro- and macroevolutionary dynamics in non-model organisms.
Corporate financial management and managers’ (ir)rationality
Authors: Lekpek Ahmedin
Published: December 2021

The aim of this paper is to analyze how managers who are characterized by
optimism and excessive self-confidence, as forms of bias and irrationality,
manage corporate finances. The assumption of the perfect rationality of an
average man, from which the proponents of traditionalist economic views
proceeded, proved to be unfounded in practice and was rejected by modern
economics. Limited rationality and the absence of rationality in making
economic decisions by the average person are accepted as real phenomena. The
thesis that managers are more rational than average people is also called
into question. Irrationality can occur in various forms. This paper deals
with two forms of irrationality: optimism and excessive self-confidence, and
factors that affect their level. It is considered how the optimism and
excessive self-confidence of managers affect the profiling of investment,
financing and dividend payment policies. Furthermore, factors that control
actions of biased managers are presented. The results of the analysis of the
relevant literature demonstrate that biased managers mainly rely on internal
and short-term external sources of financing, invest significantly more and
with greater risks than average managers, and generally pursue a residual
dividend policy.

Published: December 2021

The heat generated during the welding of stainless steel results in the oxidation of the surface that, apart from aesthetics, adversely affects its corrosion property too. This communication reports the successful removal of heat tint generated by the gas tungsten arc welding process off a stainless steel surface in addition to an improvement in its pitting corrosion resistance by exposure to the emission of a nanosecond pulsed fiber laser. The laser cleaning experiments, conducted with six different laser pulses having different temporal shapes and duration that varied from 20 to 1020 ns, revealed that removal of the weld heat tint was possible in all conditions provided the effective laser fluence exceeded a definite threshold value. This threshold value, in turn, was found to increase with an increase in pulse duration. The laser cleaned specimens were subsequently analyzed for surface morphology, roughness, and pitting corrosion resistance. The pitting corrosion resistance of the laser-treated specimens was compared with the as-welded specimens and welded specimens with heat tint removed using conventional methods like wire brush cleaning and chemical pickling. The superior quality of tint removal, improved pitting corrosion resistance, and the ease of noncontact operation indicates the significant potential of the fiber laser-based weld tint removal method to substitute the conventional mechanical or chemical cleaning methods currently in use in the manufacturing industry.

Published: December 2021

Introduction: A patient with fear and anxiety is a common case to deal with for a dentist, therefore, dental hypnosis has been widely used to ease this situation. In a hypnotized state, the human brain may easily accept any suggestion. This is projected in the brain waves. Electroencephalograph (EEG) is a brain wave recording device, reflecting several states of consciousness. Beta for conscious, alpha and theta for subconscious, and delta for sleep. Dental hypnosis puts down beta waves to alpha or theta. Quantitative Electroencephalography (Q-EEG) or brain mapping is a comprehensive analysis of (Electroencephalography, EEG) in a colored topographic map, reflecting the brain's electrical activity. The objective of this article was reporting the parietal and frontal lobes activity during dental hypnosis based on the Q-EEG mapping. Methods: The research applied a quantitative research method using observatory study. The sample was taken with an accidental sampling method, with inclusion criteria, patients with dental anxiety and exclusion criteria was patients with special need and high level of dental anxiety. Data of the EEG records was taken in January-March 2018, and processed after in Pramita laboratorium Bandung. Results: Parietal lobe affected more during the inducement than temporal lobe. During dental hypnosis, the hypnotic markers (theta and alpha states) observed from the EEG were found to be more reactive. Conclusion: Dental hypnosis effects can be observed easily using Quantitative Electroencephalography method. Dental hypnosis affects brainwaves and brain mapping which indicate relaxations of brain waves especially on parietal lobes.
Contabilidad, universidad y desarrollo sostenible
Authors: Maza Maria Beatriz , Lascano Ivanna Dayan , Zafe Jorge Omar
Published: December 2021

La responsabilidad social es un tema que ha adquirido relevancia en el contexto académico. La universidad es ella misma una realidad social y su actividad tiene un inevitable impacto en su entorno. El propósito de este estudio es analizar cómo la disciplina contable puede informar sobre la forma de administrar el impacto social, económico y ambiental de las actividades universitarias: académicas, investigación, extensión y gestión. También, establecer e informar sobre el aporte a la consecución del desarrollo sostenible y a los objetivos de desarrollo sostenible (ODS).

Se contextualiza la base teórica desde el modelo de gestión de impactos de François Vallaeys. Esta investigación siguió un enfoque cuali-cuantitativo, con recopilación de datos a través de encuestas, observación y documentación de tipo no experimental con carácter descriptivo.

El Balance Social para la Facultad de Ciencias Económicas y Administración de la Universidad Nacional de Catamarca que se presenta en este trabajo se realizó siguiendo un modelo elaborado por el mismo grupo de investigación y ya presentado en anteriores presentaciones. El modelo se elaboró adaptando a la organización universitaria las previsiones de la Resolución Técnica N°36 y sus modificaciones de la Federación Argentina de Consejos Profesionales en Ciencias Económicas.

Asimismo, se incluyó una relación de las actividades universitarias con los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible incluidos en la Agenda 2030.

Los resultados muestran evidencia de la posibilidad de realizar Balances Sociales para las Universidades Nacionales empleando el modelo propuesto como manera de mantener informados de modo más transparente a los diferentes grupos de interés –que se definan en cada organización universitaria– de los impactos de las acciones docentes, de investigación, extensión y gestión realizados en un lapso predeterminado.  Asimismo, el Balance Social confeccionado resulta ser una excelente herramienta de gestión por cuanto los indicadores planteados para las diferentes actividades están relacionados con los estándares para la acreditación de las carreras de Contador Público argentinas.

La Responsabilidad Social Universitaria (RSU) no se trata solo de decirse responsables, se trata de serlo, lo cual implica algo más que sólo hablar de ello o hacer uno o dos cambios en el intento; se deben llevar adelante acciones consecutivas, medibles, que buscan informar a los grupos de interés, corregir y/o mejorar la gestión.
La investigación en lo social. El rol de la contabilidad
Authors: Arreghini Hugo Ricardo
Published: December 2021

El escrito intenta demostrar que es falsa la visión con la que se pretende agregar como función de la Contabilidad – destinada a informar sobre el resultado económico periódico obtenido por las entidades de las que da noticia – la comunicación de otros datos dedicados a explicar cómo ha cumplido su compromiso de responsabilidad social o demostrativa del modo con que colaboró en una acción solidaria hacia la comunidad de la que forma parte.

Para ello se hace una reseña que busca probar las dificultades que experimentarían los estudios sobre investigaciones que se realicen en ese campo social, debido a la diversidad que se observa naturalmente en la percepción de conductas grupales para la demostración de leyes que puedan garantizar relaciones de causalidad de carácter universal.

La discrepancia a que pueden conducir los resultados de tales investigaciones, confirmarían inconvenientes serios para encauzar las búsquedas, debido a las implicancias diversas que en ello demuestra tener  su particularidad y la innumerable cantidad de variables que podrían ordenar, en cualquier caso, un diseño de la tarea que completara lo necesario para garantizar seriedad científica a cualquier intento demostrativo de teorías generalizadas  en el ámbito social.

El trabajo afirma la naturaleza social de las entidades que preparan estados contables y  la idoneidad que se reconoce a la Contabilidad en la explicación de consecuencias de la actividad humana, pero también que ello no alcanza para su integración en un nivel más amplio con fines distintos de lo económico. Señala, igualmente, las características técnicas que la identifican con un sistema, las perspectivas de sus mecanismos transaccionales objetivos para valorar por los protagonistas – no tan claros en otros acontecimientos que ocurren en la sociedad – y su pertenencia a unidades separadas de las que provienen los datos que explican hechos que relacionan a esas entidades económicas con su entorno social de una manera especial, que los vincula con efectos cuantificados con una medida común.

La tarea efectuada recuerda la singular incumbencia que se asigna instrumentalmente a la Contabilidad en la demostración de los resultados económicos obtenidos por las entidades y en la importancia que esto tiene para la eventual consideración por las personas jurídicas de que dependen, y no tanto, con la mayoría de otras determinaciones relacionadas con una adecuada visión del futuro y de su efecto social, para lo cual su capacidad se reconoce insuficiente.

Comparative Study of Coronary Artery Proximal to Myocardial Bridge Segment
Authors:   Department of Anatomy, University of Medical Sciences, Saifai, Etawah, Uttar Pradesh, India, Srivastava Monika
Published: December 2021

Introduction: The muscular segments which overlie the epicardial arteries are termed as myocardial bridges and the artery which travels through them are termed as tunnel arteries. These tunnel arteries get compressed during the systolic compression of the heart, thus partially or completely blocking the blood supply to the corresponding areas. Aim & Objectives: To assess the impact of these myocardial bridges on the proximal segment of the myocardial arteries. Methodology: The present study was cadaveric-based cross-sectional study. A total of 22 hearts which showed the presence of myocardial bridges were collected from two sources namely: cadaver dissections, autopsy. The hearts were clean and numbered. This was followed by fixation, dehydration, clearing, embedding, block formation, section cutting and staining. Result: The present study showed that there is a significant thickening in the tunica intima of the proximal to bridge segment of the coronary artery. The present study also noted that there is a marked thinning of the tunica media of the same segment. Conclusion: The present study concludes that there is a marked hyperplasia in the proximal segment of the myocardial bridges under tunica intima.
Tension Band Wiring for Fracture Patella Outcome with 3 K Wire versus 2 K Wire
Authors:   Senior Resident, Department of Orthopaedics, Andaman & Nicobar Islands Institute of Medical Sciences, Port Blair, Andaman & Nicobar, Deb Sudip
Published: December 2021

Introduction: Fractures of the patella constitute almost 1% of all skeletal injuries, resulting from either direct or indirect trauma. Many forms of internal fixation for patellar fractures have been described in the literature but perfect anatomical reduction during surgery has an excellent outcome irrespective of the method of fixation used. The conventional method of patellar tension band wiring is always done with the help of two parallel Kirschner wires. Here, in our study, we intended to see whether the use of 3 parallel Kirschner wires in comparison to conventional one results in a superior functional outcome. Methods: A prospective observational study was carried out in ANIIMS and GB Pant hospital Port Blair from November 2016 to November 2019 on 44 patients of patellar fracture operated by tension band wiring with 22 patients in 2 parallel Kirschner wires and 3 parallel Kirschner wires groups respectively. Results: 44 patients were followed up postoperatively for 1 year and assessed by Lysholm knee score for pain status and working status and other variables. The mean age of the participants was 40.27 years (41.86 in two Kirschner wire group and 38.68 in three Kirschner wire group) in our study. Lysholm knee score, pain status, or working status was not significant throughout the mean follow-up periods for both groups. Conclusions: We found no significant difference between patellar TBW in 3 Kirschner wire and 2 Kirschner wire groups. However small sample size limits our study.

The material selection of the heating plates used in the
vulcanization process obtained using different MCDM
methods
Authors: Mihajlović Jelena , Petrović Goran , Ćirić Dušan , Madić Miloš
Published: December 2021

The material selection problem is one of the most important steps in the development process of a part of any subassembly assembly, machine, product, etc. The material selection process needs a systematic and time-consuming approach to choose the optimal material to satisfy the product’s requirements. That is to say, many confronting criteria and possible material types (alternatives) available, makes this problem Multi-Criteria Decision-Making problem (MCDM). This paper shows the applicability of the MCDM methodology in the material selection problem for steam heating plates for the vulcanization process used in the inner tube manufacturing process. Specifically, the criteria weights are obtained by CRITIC (Criteria Importance Through Intercriteria Correlation), ENTROPY and PIPRECIA (Pivot Pairwise Relative Criteria Importance Assessment) methods, while TOPSIS (Technique for the Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution) method has been implemented in this process for evaluation and ranking of the possible alternatives (material types).
The influence of continuous casting technology on the
cleanliness of carbon steel
Authors: Imamović Aida , Sunulahpašić Raza , Oruč Mirsada , Kablar Omer , Mujagić Derviš
Published: December 2021

The influence of the production method, i.e. casting technology on the cleanliness and thus the quality of carbon steels is best determined through the presence and type of non-metallic inclusions. A large number of inclusions, especially oxide and complex ones, can significantly affect the mechanical properties of carbon steels and limit their application for the production of finished products. This paper presents the influence of the presence, type and amount of non - metallic inclusions in B500B
carbon steel according to ASTM / AISI produced by continuous casting technology without and with the application of stream protection.
Influence of the polymer matrix type on cavitation
resistance of composites
Authors: Dojčinović Marina , Pavlović Marko , Jezdimirović Slađana , Purić Branka , Cvetković Aleksandar
Published: December 2021

Cavitation resistance of polymer matrix / basalt powder composites was determined in this work. Two types of composites were tested: epoxy resin / basalt powder composite and polyester resin / basalt powder composite. In both cases, a basalt powder was used as reinforcement in the resin (grain size 20μm, in the amount of 15 wt%). An ultrasonic vibration method
with a stationary sample was used to test the cavitation resistance of composites in laboratory conditions. The change in sample mass with test time was monitored to define cavitation rate. Scanning electron microscopy was used to monitor the morphology of composites surface damage.
Cutaneous Nevi in Down Syndrome Patients: Prospective study
Authors:   Benghazi University, Elsherif Nadia Abdalhafid
Published: December 2021

Background: Down Syndrome (DS) has been described in association with various dermatoses,however, there is scanty information in the literature regarding the frequency of cutaneous nevi among Down syndrome patients. The objective of the study: To define the frequency of different cutaneousnevi in DS patients, andto precise their different phenotypes. Patients and methods: we prospectively examined 180 Down syndrome patients. All patients underwent full body skin examination noting the type, number, size, and distribution of different nevi. Results: Different types of nevi were noted among Down syndrome patients; café au lait macules, melanocytic nevocellular nevi, and Mongolian spot were the most frequent ones. Juvenile elastoma, Becker’s nevus, nevus spilus, labial melanocytic macule, and capillary vascular malformation were also seen. Conclusion: Various types of cutaneous nevi not previously described in Down syndrome, was observed in our patients such as Becker’s nevus, nevus spilus and Juvenile elastoma.

Occurrence of malaria and Intestinal helminths among students from three senior secondary schools in Port Harcourt, rivers state, Nigeria was conducted from March to July 2017. Blood and stool samples were each collected from two hundred and forty three (243) students. Questionnaires and oral communication were used to obtain information and observable epidemiological factors. Standard parasitological procedusres were employed in sample collection and examination. Blood samples were examined for the presence of malaria parasite using microscopy and Rapid Diagnostic Test (RDT) kits, and the stool samples were examined for intestinal helminths using formol-ether concentration technique. Data obtained were analysed using SPSS. Results
Reducing Climate Change Vulnerability in Sub-Saharan Africa Cities: Policy Prospects for Social Innovation and Microfinance
Authors:   Brandenburg University Of Technology Cottbus- Senftenberg, Chirambo Dumisani
Published: December 2021

Africa might not achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) because climate change will exacerbate poverty and inequality in the region. Moreover, many African cities are characterised by poor urban planning, gaps in public services and infrastructure and settlement in hazard-prone areas leading to increased climate change vulnerability as city governments/local governments fail to mainstream climate change mitigation and adaptation into local planning. However, social innovations are practices that bring about changes in attitudes, behaviour, or perceptions, resulting in new social practices, new institutions and new social systems,

De súbditos del rey a ejidatarios posrevolucionarios. Los subalternos en la historia de México: territorio, gobierno y resistencia
Authors: García Ruiz Luis J.
Published: December 2021

El conjunto de trabajos que se reúnen en este libro muestra diferentes facetas de la historia de los pueblos de indios y de los grupos subalternos en México entre los siglos XVIII y XX. Mediante dos ejes transversales que destacan la territorialidad y el pluralismo de derechos posesorios sobre la tierra, así como la conflictividad y los mecanismos de negociación y de resistencia, se demuestra la importancia que tuvieron las clases populares en la edificación de los pilares sobre los que se erigió el Estado. En las colaboraciones de este libro se ponen de relieve las múltiples formas de condicionamiento, adaptación y participación de los llamados “grupos subalternos” en las políticas modernizadoras que desde finales de la Colonia y hasta los tiempos contemporáneos han sacudido a un ritmo pendular a la población indígena y a los grupos populares de México.
