Authors: Lapa Hannah , Alencar Carolina , Lapa Filho Carlos , Menezes Paulo , Santana Alex , Sotero André , Porto Roseane
Published: March 2021

OBJECTIVES: To describe the case of a newborn with COVID-19 who developed acute pericarditis evidenced by echocardiogram. METHODS: The information contained in this description was obtained by reviewing medical records and interviewing a medical team. DISCUSSION: In neonates, SARS-CoV-2 infection is usually asymptomatic or presents with mild symptoms. Acute pericarditis is a benign and self-limiting condition if not associated with pericardial effusion and constriction. Its main etiology in the pediatric group is viral and because it is not very symptomatic, one of the possibilities is that the finding in COVID-19 is underdiagnosed. CONCLUSION: Isolated acute pericarditis associated with infection by the novel coronavirus is a rare disorder not reported in the pediatric population. Studies are needed to better assess the prevalence and cardiological outcomes in this group.

Published: March 2021

Environmentally friendly and renewable energy sources are currently relevant and in demand. One of such energy sources is solar radiation, which can transmit up to 1,5 kW of thermal energy per square meter of the earth’s surface. This energy can be converted into electrical energy using solar panels, which have several disadvantages. The main one are low efficiency and short service life. Another way to harness solar energy is by using solar collectors, which convert the sun radiation into thermal energy
Grieb M., Brümmer A. Investigation into the effects of surface condensation in steam-driven twin screw expanders / trans. from Engl. M. A. Fedorova
Authors:   Omsk State Technical University
Published: March 2021

During the operation of twin screw expanders with slightly superheated vapours or even two-phase fluids, surface condensation on machine parts occurs during the filling period and the expansion phase when the working fluid is in contact with cooler inner surfaces. This heat exchange from the working fluid to adjacent machine parts effects the working cycle and the efficiency of these machines. Short time scales and the periodicity of the process indicate the condensation process is best described by models for dropwise condensation. In this paper the effects of surface condensation on the operation of twin screw expanders are initially discussed in a simulation-based investigation. Chamber model simulation coupled with a thermal analysis is used for the thermodynamic simulation, whereby heat transfer coefficients are systematically varied. It is found that during the inlet phase condensate emerges on the inner surfaces of the machine being substantially cooler than the working fluid. This results in a higher mass being trapped within the working chamber and, thus, an increasing mass flow rate of the machine. An increase in power output is, however, not observed. The results obtained from chamber model simulations are finally compared against experimental data of a screw expander prototype

Shabby and Shambling: Decadent Housing in Greys Avenue
Authors: Gatley Julia
Published: March 2021

In the early part of the twentieth century, Auckland's Grey Street, as Greys Avenue was known until 1927, was home to a Chinese community, and was associated with opium smoking and prostitution, and regarded by some as a "slum." In 1941, with financial support from Auckland City, the Labour government embarked upon a scheme of "slum clearance" in the area. Initially, the government hoped to acquire and clear both sides of Greys Avenue. Housing Division architects prepared a vast scheme for the site, comprising 468 state rental flats. The first portion of this scheme, the Lower Greys Avenue Flats, was built from 1945 to 1947. This paper explores the slum rhetoric that preceded the realisation of the Lower Greys Avenue Flats; the standard of the houses that were deemed to be slums; and the occupations and ethnicities of the occupants who were considered to be slum dwellers. The paper shows that slum language exaggerated the "shabby" and "shambling" standards of the houses. It also shows that much of the land now occupied by the Lower Greys Avenue Flats was in fact cleared prior to 1935, and thus not specifically for this state housing block at all, and that in the latter 1930s and early 1940s, the focus of slum concern was further up the street, with houses that would not be cleared and replaced until the 1950s, '60s and '70s.

Data from an empirical study aimed at identifying the difficulties faced by students in their transition to higher education, the overcoming of which is important for personal development, are presented in the article. The study participants (n=179) were asked to describe the difficulties of transition from school to University in the 1st year based on analysis of their autobiographical memory. The content analysis of texts allowed identifying the main themes and compiling a list of challenges, and then the frequency of occurrence of each of them was determined. According to the results, the most actual difficulties are the different aspects of integrating into the new social community due to sharp changes in the social environment during the transition from school to University. A big challenge is the need for self-organization in educational and everyday matters, planning and organizing your time. The third most frequently mentioned is learning difficulties, especially those related to mastering the material in the new educational environment. Problematic areas of adaptation to higher education that have not been previously reflected in the sources are the establishment of a common life in the dormitory, pressure from parents, the manifestation of their individuality, the increase in the length of classes and the pace of learning, romantic relationships and language barriers. The difficulties of the first examination session are much less frequently mentioned, and are more frequently mentioned when examining the current adaptation process. The results of the study can be used for the development and subsequent implementation of a system of practical measures aimed at helping students to adapt to the new environment and conditions. Such assistance to students in building a new way of life at a university, especially at an early stage of study, is necessary not only to improve the effectiveness of the educational process, but also to facilitate the processes of personal growth and development of students

The research aims to determine consumer perception on the quality of pearl jewelry products in Mataram. The population is consumers of pearl jewelry products, and the respondent determination technique is purposive sampling. The number of sample taken is 100 people. To answer the problem posed, the Ideal-Point Model is used. The model measures the gap (difference) between what is perceived and what consumers need. The result shows that the interest of consumers in purchasing pearl jewelry is mainly due to pearl quality, followed by other quality attributes. The quality value gap is quite large in the attributes of conformity to specifications, frame material, aesthetic value, price, and pearl jewelry design. Even though there is a value gap in some quality attributes, overall quality of Sekarbela pearl jewelry products is very good according to consumer perception.Keywords:Perception, Consumer, Quality, Crafts, Pearls

Published: March 2021

This study aims at applying naïve diversification-based modeling in formation of optimal portfolios and to test the superiority of these portfolios against its sectoral indexes. The population of this study are all companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange which are grouped into 10 sectors, namely: Agriculture; Basic Industry; Consumer; Finance; Infrastructure; Manufacture; Mining; Miscelanous Industry; Property; and Trade. The sample of this company is Top 10 Constituents in each company sector listed in the fact sheet per sector, published by the Indonesia Stock Exchange. The analytical tools used were paired sample statistics, paired sample correlations and significance tests. The results shows that portfolio formed with naïve diversification modeling shows its superiority compared to its sectoral portfolio. The correlation test shows moderate significance relationship between returns and standard deviation of sectoral portfolios with naïve diversification-based portfolios, while beta shows no meaningful relationship between sectoral portfolios and portfolios with naïve diversification modeling. Discrimination tests show the significance of returns and standard deviations between sectoral and naïve diversification modeling-based portfolios. While in line with the correlation test, there is no significant difference between the beta of the two portfolios, so it appears that the volatility of the two portfolios cannot be separated from overall market movement. For bearish market conditions, the level of portfolio loss using naïve diversification modeling is lower than sector-based portfolios in the Indonesia Stock Exchange.Keywords:investment, sector indexes, simplified, portfolio modelling
Influence of Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease on Locally Advanced Breast Cancer: A Retrospective Cohort Study
Authors: Taji Tomoe , Kataoka Yuki , Suwa Hirofumi , Yamaguchi Ai , Kawabata Kazuna , Shimizu Marina , Umeda Makoto
Published: March 2021

ABSTRACT

Background:

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is associated with poor prognosis after radical breast cancer surgery. Locally advanced breast cancer (LABC) has a higher recurrence rate than early breast cancer does and requires multidisciplinary treatment including cardiotoxic and liver-metabolized anthracycline. The aim of the current study was to investigate the association between NAFLD and the prognosis and morbidity of patients with LABC.

Patients and Methods:

This single-center, retrospective, cohort study included patients with stage III breast cancer who underwent surgery between July 2015 and December 2018. Hepatic steatosis was defined as a ratio of liver-to-spleen attenuation (L/S) of <1.12 on pre-treatment unenhanced computed tomography. The primary outcome was recurrence-free survival (RFS). We used the log-rank test to compare survival curves and the Cox proportional hazards model to adjust for covariates.

Results:

We analyzed 44 patients, including 6 with NAFLD. The median follow-up time was 852.5 days. On univariate and multivariate analyses, NAFLD was not significantly associated with RFS (hazard ratio [HR], 1.474; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.324–6.706, and HR, 1.297; 95% CI, 0.263–6.399, respectively). Neither cardiovascular events nor secondary cancers were associated with NAFLD. Known prognostic factors of breast cancer—such as older age, high histological grade, and estrogen receptor negativity—were significantly associated with a shorter RFS.

Conclusion:

When treating patients with LABC, physicians and patients should not worry much about the prognostic impact of mild NAFLD.

Nostalgia, Nacionalismo, y Colonialismo Cultural

Published: March 2021

I believe that viewers should approach these programs with a critical eye. Many of them, especially in the first season, are focused on the production and consumption of tacos in the capital of Mexico and emphasize their "chilanga" nature. In this sense, there is a Chilanga Mexicanity that is confused with a nationalist Mexicanity represented as a tendency to reduce the regional, local, ethnic culinary complexity in what is only a vehicle for food: the taco. Discourses about its authenticity, its antiquity, its popular character (it is the food "of the people") sustain a nostalgic, romantic look at the past, which in turn presents a single national and nationalist identity that blurs the perception of difference.

This momentum is considered good for the acceleration of digital transformation, which since the issuance of Presidential Decree Number 95 of 2018 has begun to be initiated. Digital transformation marks a radical rethinking of how an organization uses technology, people and processes to fundamentally change business performance. Digital transformation occurs in the economic, social and public sphere with the aim of creating innovation, encouraging inclusiveness and increasing efficiency and productivity. Although it is absolutely related to digital technology, digital transformation is not just technology but also takes into account other elements such as infrastructure, policies, leadership, digital literacy, mindset, data, research and cybersecurity. Cybersecurity is a crucial prerequisite because interconnection in the digital world demands data privacy and information security. In fact, the demands of cybersecurity in digital transformation are not matched by human resources who are experts in the cyber field. APTIKOM states that each year in Indonesia it only manages to produce 40 thousand - 50 thousand bachelors of information technology competence, while the need is predicted to reach 600 thousand people per year. At the higher education level, the curriculum in cybersecurity study programs tends to focus on technical areas only. Even though. Cybersecurity is a complex matter that requires a  multidisciplinary  approach  such  as experts  in  regulation  and  policy,  governance  and information security risk management, and so on. This research is a qualitative descriptive study. The author uses a comparative method to compare the cybersecurity curriculum in Indonesia with the Netherlands, which has a multi- disciplinary cybersecurity curriculum. So that we get multidisciplinary curriculum recommendations that can be applied in the cybersecurity curriculum in Indonesia.
