Papulopustular rosacea treated with ivermectin 1% cream: remission of the Demodex mite infestation over the time and evaluation of clinical relapses
Authors: Trave Ilaria , Micalizzi Claudia , Cozzani Emanuele , Gasparini Giulia , Parodi Aurora
Published: November 2022

Background: Topical ivermectin is an anti-inflammatory and anti-Demodex drug for papulopustular rosacea. Rosacea is a relapsing disease and the time between recurrences should be considered alongside efficacy

Objectives: The aims of this study were to assess the time of first relapse and relapse rates of Demodex mite infestation and papulopustular rosacea

Methods: We conducted a prospective study of subjects affected by different degrees of papulopustular rosacea. Patients that achieved a complete response after treatment were monitored every 4 weeks and up to 32 additional weeks. For each patient, we evaluated recording the time to first relapse and relapse rate of Demodex mite infestation and rosacea.

Results: The overall success rate on Demodex infestation was 87.5%. only 12.5% relapse. Ivermectin leads to complete response in 70% of patients. Median time to relapse was 140 days, the mean time was 152 days. The global success rate was 54.76%.

Conclusions: Topical ivermectin keeps a remission of Demodex infestation and clinical remission for long time. We proposed a twice-weekly ivermectin maintenance therapy to reduce recurrences.
Reflectance confocal microscopy follow-up of multifocal superficial basal cell carcinomas treated with imiquimod 5% cream
Authors: Zou Yun-Min , Zhu Xiaohong , Xia Rushan
Published: November 2022

Background： Patients with multifocal superficial basal cell carcinomas (sBCC) require a non-invasive treatment and follow-up with a non-invasive technique. Imiquimod 5% cream is a new non-invasive therapy for BCC. Reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM) is a non-invasive, real-time imaging technique.

Methods：The efficacy of imiquimod 5% cream for the treatment of multifocal sBCC was evaluated, as well as the potential of RCM for assessing therapeutic effects. We reported four patients with 34 sBCC lesions were treated with imiquimod 5% cream. RCM was performed in the baseline and at 12 weeks, 24 weeks and 52 weeks after starting treatment.

Results： Of 34 lesions treated with imiquimod 5%, 32 responded to the treatment and showed complete clinical clearing. Two subclinical BCC lesions were identified by RCM. The complete tumor clearance rate was 88.2%, and the efficiency rate was 97.1%. No lesion recurred at 24-month follow-up. RCM identified previously described confocal features of BCC and was more sensitive than clinical examination. Local skin reactions were relieved after expectant treatment.

Conclusions： Imiquimod 5% cream may be useful for the treatment of multifocal sBCC, and its side effects are easy to manage. RCM can be used for non-invasive monitoring of treatment response and improved the tumor clearance rate.
Agricultural cooperative system: management challenges and feasible solutions
Authors: Oliveira Junior Osmar de Paula , Wander Alcido Elenor
Published: November 2022

Purpose/objective: To describe the managerial challenges agricultural cooperatives face and list the leading solutions that can be adopted to overcome such bottlenecks.
Design/methodology/approach: A systematic literature review was done, with a research protocol based on “Methodi Ordinatio” (Pagani et al., 2015) to select relevant papers. The study covered aspects of management and administration of agro-industrial cooperatives, social management, risk management in agribusiness, strategic management in agribusiness, new generation cooperatives, cooperative management, cooperative governance and challenges to the cooperative system.
Findings: Efficient conciliation of cooperatives' social and economic agenda requires management professionalization. The cooperative must adopt a series of good management and governance practices and a strategic positioning that guarantees a competitive position, putting it on an equal footing with private firms. The central management tools identified are separation between control and ownership, strategic management, strategic alliances and partnerships, management branding, restricted membership, social management, self-financing and risk management, with numerous other management options available. The main obstacles are the conservative environment and the need to update cooperative doctrinal principles, impediments to modernizing Brazilian agricultural cooperatives' management.
Originality/value: The paper identifies aspects of a conservative environment and the need to update the cooperative principles that hinder the modernization of the management in Brazilian agricultural cooperatives.
Democracy, corruption and civil liberties: does national context influence corporate carbon disclosure?
Authors: Pinheiro Alan Bandeira , Sampaio Thicia Stela Lima , Rodrigues Rubens Carlos , Batistella Ana Julia
Published: November 2022

Design/methodology/approach: This research analyzes the carbon disclosure of 1328 companies based in 19 countries. The level of democracy, corruption and civil liberties in the countries was measured using variables from the Varieties of Democracy database. The data were analyzed using three econometric models.
Purpose: This research paper answers the following question: How does the country level of democracy, corruption and civil liberties affect carbon disclosure?
Findings: The results show that the carbon disclosure of companies is affected by the institutional context of the country where the company operates. Therefore, in countries where the level of democracy and control of corruption is higher, companies are more involved in carbon disclosure.
Research limitations/implications: The findings confirm the Institutional Theory, by reinforcing that not only the organizational context, but also the social and political context of the country are relevant for the dissemination of carbon.
Practical implications: Managers of companies based in countries with a greater voice for citizens and a lower level of corruption should invest more resources for the dissemination of carbon. In these countries, companies are under greater pressure from stakeholders for information on carbon emissions.
Social implications: The findings show that policy makers can incorporate protection mechanisms for stakeholders and not just shareholders. Lawmakers can propose increased penalties and criminalized corrupt practices and illicit enrichment of public officials. Less power of voice for citizens and a higher level of corruption can reduce the effectiveness of national policies for sustainable development.
Originality/value: This research, in addition to advancing the studies on carbon disclosure in different national contexts, has for the first time used the credit rating control variable.
Gender Bias in Recruiting
Authors: Nentwich Julia , Baumgärtner Miriam K. , Chowdhury Nilima , Witzig Verena
Published: November 2022

Purpose: Unconscious bias training has become a popular intervention for eliminating discrimination in the workplace. Particularly recruitment processes are said to become fairer and more objective if gender biases are eliminated through training of personnel. However, the concept of gender bias, and particularly the idea that it can be trained away, has also been critiqued as too limited in its focus on individual mental processes, thereby neglecting effects of context, interaction and power. Taking this critique as our starting point, we argue that gender bias needs to be theorised in relation to a specific interaction and normative context. This article aims at expanding the concept of gender bias beyond individual cognition. Developing a social practice perspective on gender bias in recruiting allows to widen the scope of explanation as well as intervention.

Design/methodology/approach: This is a conceptual paper that contributes new insights into how to tackle (unconscious) gender bias by integrating relevant psychological literature and empirical findings. We build on cognitive social psychology, critical social psychology and on gender as a social practice to show that gender bias is not only an individual, but a fundamentally social activity that is embedded within organisational norms and power relations and reproduced in interaction.

Findings: In this paper we carve out the potential for understanding gender bias as more than individual cognition and show how theorising gender bias as a social practice can become a vital concept for exploring and combatting bias in recruiting.
Colonial Intimacies
Authors: Vögele Hannah
Published: November 2022

This paper contends that relations of property and propriety of “western modernity” engender and articulate different forms of violence, crucially including sexualised violence. Going beyond the limits of dominant frameworks and liberal feminism’s approaches to violence, this paper takes seriously the need to trace how modern ways of relating are intimately connected to colonial modes of dispossession and propertisation. Therefore, I draw on historical resources and present a constellation history with fragments from the context of relations of intimacy in German colonial rule. This shows how hegemonic family relations and marriage laws were used to control access to land and resources, as well as workers and their bodies. Logics of imperial intervention in sexuality and the use of sexualised violence extend beyond this specific spatio-temporal context into the present. This highlights how categories of race, gender and sexuality develop with, through and for, proprietary relations. The ambiguous role of white women vis-à-vis colonial relations of ownership reinforces a critique of limited approaches of liberal feminism and stresses the importance of anti-colonial organizing against violence.

Dramaturgi som krumtap
Authors: Krøgholt Ida
Published: November 2022

The article suggests how a particular dramaturgical approach to participatory research as accompanying research can be framed. In continuation of a case from Aarhus Theatre, I ask some methodological questions for the concept of participatory and accompanying research, discuss the negotiation of the participatory agenda and come up with a frame for dramaturgical participatory research. The article builds upon the exploration of accompanying research in an earlier article, and it draws on theory of evaluation, action research, participatory research and partnerships, as well as theory of the role of the dramaturge in new dramaturgy.

For More Than One Voice (2016–) is a collective reading that investigates how we might speak and listen in more than one voice by means of resonance, polyphony, dissonance, ambiguity, plurality, and embrace. The collective reading is centred around the politics and poetics of the multiplicity of voices in performance and text, where the complexities of voice as representation are investigated.
”With a little help from my friends”
Authors: Ørum Tania
Published: November 2022

1960’erne og 1970’erne var en periode, hvor det kollektive samarbejde var højt på dagsordenen både politisk og kunstnerisk. Jeg følger den kunstneriske udvikling fra de tidlige tresseres æstetiske eksperimenter til de politiske aktioner i starten af 1970erne gennem et par eksemplariske nedslag i hhv. Den eksperimenterende Kunstskoles første år og Kanonklubbens banebrydende kønspolitiske aktion Damebilleder. De to eksempler ses i relation til udviklingen i samtidens ungdomskultur og ungdomsoprør.
Ud over alle grænser
Authors: Jensen Katrine Bech
Published: November 2022

Artiklen er en introduktion til Madame Nielsens grænsenarrativer, hvoraf særligt fire grænsekrydsende figurer fremhæves: den dannelsesrejsende, turisten, flygtningen og vandringskvinden. Gennem en sådan optik synliggøres det, hvordan de kulturelle og individuelle grænser sjældent, eller måske aldrig, krydses. Nielsen derimod leger med grænsen og minder os om at krydse den.  

English summary

The article serves as an introduction to Madame Nielsen’s border narratives, where mainly four border-crossing figures are highlighted: the Grand tourer, the tourist, the refugee and the female walker. Through this perspective it is demonstrated how border crossers rarely, or perhaps never, cross their cultural or individual borders. Nielsen, however, confronts the border and reminds us to cross and challenge it.
At kuratere en antropocæn sensibilitet
Authors: Aagaard Friis Joachim , Schyum Ida
Published: November 2022

I denne artikel undersøger vi, hvordan det antropocæne som koncept kan bruges som en rammesætning for kuratering af stedsspecifik kunst. Med udgangspunkt i kurateringsprocessen under udstillingen Human/Non-human på Roskilde Festival 2017 fremlægger vi, hvordan begrebet det antropocæne ændrer kuratorens æstetiske og epistemologiske praksis gennem et fokus på det ikke-menneskelige og en omdefinering af skillet mellem natur og kultur.

Using the lens of ‘interference’ the essay examines the author’s work as a dramaturg and understanding of his approaches to dramaturgical thinking. The essay focuses on five areas of dramaturgical practice, including case studies that foreground ideas of interference in the sense of disruption and amplification in the following areas: 1) working with playwrights / creators; 2) with performance researchers; 3) with institutions; 4) with interns / mentees; and finally, 5) within the author’s own creative practice.
Interferens eller hvordan lyder en appelsin?
Authors: Juhl Dalsgaard Louise
Published: November 2022

I essayet undersøger forfatter Louise Juhl Dalsgaard, hvordan kunstnerisk interferens kan styrke kunstens virke og sikre, at den kunst vi skaber konstant kan udfordre og samtidig forhindre, at hjernen bliver doven. Dette sker med udgangspunkt i de fire forestillinger Hemmeligheder (2020), som hun skrev for Teaterhuset Filuren. Herigennem understreges vigtigheden af tværkunstnerisk samarbejde, der åbner op for helt nye muligheder i det kunstneriske udtryk, og også den konstruktive interferens, som kan forstærke de kunstneriske discipliner.

Published: November 2022

The COVID-19 pandemic caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus has generated globally more than 110.7 million infections and 2.4 million deaths. The severity of this infection can range from asymptomatic, mild to severe.To know the possible associations between the presence of the virus and histopathological alterations found in tissues of fatal cases of COVID-19, the presence of the virus in the lung tissue of a patient with a clinical history of SARS-CoV-2 infection was evaluated.Lung tissue was histologically processed for immunohistochemical detection of SARSCoV-2. In the histopathological study, morphological changes associated with pneumonitis of viral origin were observed. Likewise, the location of the SARS-CoV-2 virus was observed mainly in the cytoplasm of the cells of the inflammatory infiltrate.
Abnormal handling mechanism and improvement measures of optical DC current transformer in smart grid environment
Authors: Zhou Shihao , Tang Hansong , Pan Benren , Zhang Wei
Published: November 2022

An optical DC current transformer anomaly handling mechanism is proposed to address the problem that the conventional DC current transformer anomaly handling mechanism cannot compensate for the defect of capacitor anomaly blocking. First, the implementation principle, modulation loop, demodulation method and its anomaly warning mechanism of the sine-wave modulated all-fibre-optic current transformer (FOCT) are investigated, and the effects of light source intensity and modulation voltage on current decoding are explained. The modulation loop is then simulated and modelled and a FOCT anomaly handling mechanism is proposed based on the Bessel function with real-time dynamic current compensation for small changes in modulation depth. Finally, an integrated dynamic test system for DC current transformers and DC protection is designed, and the actual system operation and fault model is established using the RTDS simulation system. The experiments demonstrate that the proposed FOCT anomaly handling and improvement measures can effectively improve the transient performance of FOCT, and at the same time provide a complete set of testing means for the engineering application and later upgrade and replacement of FOCT.
Rapid discrimination of the native medicinal plant Adenostemma lavenia from its adulterants using PCR-RFLP
Authors: Wu Kunchang , Liu Yunchen , Yang Bocheng , Kung Yenying , Chang Kaiwei , Lee Mengshiou
Published: November 2022

Background

In Taiwan, the aerial part of Adenostemma lavenia (Al) is used in the form of herbal tea or in a folk remedy primarily to mitigate inflammatory conditions in the lungs and liver. Due to the excellent health benefits of Al against inflammation, it has become increasingly crucial and in great demand during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, Al has been found to be adulterated with Wedelia biflora, Sigesbeckia orientalis, and/or Wedelia chinensis because of similarities in appearance and vernacular names.

Methods

This study aimed to develop a PCR-RFLP DNA molecular method for the authentication of Al. The restriction enzyme BsrI was used according to the sequencing and alignment results of PCR products in the ITS2 regions of Al and its adulterants. Gel electrophoresis resulted in the clear separation of Al and its adulterants into two distinct categories.

Results

In conclusion, the PCR-RFLP authentication method developed herein provides an easy, rapid, and accurate method to distinguish Al from its adulterants to assure user health and safety.

Therefore, we propose an autonomy model in preschool and general education and some solutions to effectively implement this issue, contributing to renovation and improving the quality of education and training.
A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis on the Relationships between Extreme Ambient Temperature and All-Cause Mortality Risk: A Time Series Approach
Authors: Chigozie Nwondah , Enembe Okokon Oku , Samuel Ogaji Daprim , Isaac Essi
Published: November 2022

Background: Exposure to extreme low or high ambient temperatures is associated with cardiovascular, respiratory and endocrine diseases and other complications, thereby causing death. This article is a synthesis of the relationships between ambient temperature and mortality from time series studies.

Methods: This systematic review and meta-analysis used the PICO search strategy and Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. On 14th February to 21st of May 2020, PubMed, Springer and Science direct databases were systematically searched to obtain original studies published during the period of (2010 to 2019). The systematic review incorporated 23 studies, with sixteen (16) of these articles used for the meta-analysis and the remaining seven (7) articles were included in the narrative synthesis. Twelve of 16 studies used for meta-analysis were conducted in countries in Asia particularly in China, while three (3) of the remaining in Europe (Sweden, Spain and Portugal) and only one (1) study in Africa (South Africa). The meta-analysis was sub-grouped into (cold and warm) temperatures.

Results: The result of the meta-analysis indicated a pooled relative risk (RR) for cold temperature of 1.632, while pooled RR for the warm temperature of 1.287 and the RR for the whole data (cold and warm) temperature of 1.430. The Meta-analysis indicated a statistical significance (p < 0.01) of the pooled estimate which signified that exposure to cold or extreme low temperature 1.632 (95% CI 1.262–2.110) have greater mortality risk than exposure to extreme high temperature 1.287 (95% CI 1.030–1.606).

Conclusion: The RRs for extreme low and high temperatures associated with temperature attributable deaths differs in populations and locality. Government, Decision Makers, Social Actors and Health Administrators should make adequate planning and set up public health interventions to prevent and control the health impact of exposure to extreme ambient temperatures in vulnerable subpopulation particularly Africa.

He briefly describes the contemporary terrain and describes the submerged tree trunks and roots that are found on the riverbed. The unusual size of these trees is also noted. An attempt at estimating when these trees were aboveground is made by examining artefacts found at the same depth as the trees on the riverbed, including oak canoes, various stone tools and what may be a Roman battle-axe.

Some Remarks on the Scottish Language, particularly as employed by the earlier Scottish Poets
Authors: Neaves Lord
Published: November 2022

The author begins by speculating on the languages that may have influenced the development of Old Scots. He argues that it is more useful to analyse the development of the language by focusing on the grammatical features of the language rather than individual words. The article compares the grammar in Barbour's Bruce and the Wyntoun Chronicle to the grammar used in Chaucer and other English texts. In his concluding marks, the author emphasises that this is only preliminary research that he hopes will encourage others to study Old Scots.

On the Chambered Cairns of Caithness, with Results of Recent Explorations
Authors: Anderson Joseph
Published: November 2022

The author explains the two different types of chambered cairn found in Caithness: round and long cairns. He goes on to describe two long cairns at Thrumster that were recently excavated including their size and shape, their internal layout, and the finds that were discovered in each cairn. These cairns are then compared to the cairns at Ormiegill and Camster, also in Caithness. He concludes that it is too early in the study of these sites to confidently assess when they were built or their significance.

On the Inscriptions upon the Stone at Newton Insch, Aberdeenshire, and on the Inscriptions on a sculptured Stone at St Vigean's, Forfarshire
Authors: Carr Ralph
Published: November 2022

The author argues that Anglo-Saxon runes were used in inscriptions that otherwise used Latin characters or the Norman-French language, based on the preference of the carver. Using this argument he attempts a translation of the Newton Stone suggesting that some Gaelic or Anglo-Saxon characters may have been used alongside the primary Latin inscription. He then goes on to translate the inscription on the stone at St Vigeans using the same methodology.

Authors: Struthers John
