Published: April 2021

Abstract. A study of Baltic amber revealed a new fossil species of the genus Bacanius LeConte, 1853. Bacanius gorskii sp. nov. differs from the congener described previously from Eocene Rovno amber, B. kirejtshuki Sokolov and Perkovsky, in the shape of meso-metaventral suture, incomplete subhumeral stria, and the impunctate prosternal lobe (urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:EE9C6859-607A-4134-9037-8385601CF42F).
La Commedia Scientifica – Dante and the scientific virtues
Authors: Lacchia Anthea R. , Webster Stephen
Published: April 2021

Abstract. The ethical challenges facing contemporary science range from scientific misconduct to the rightful treatment of people, animals and the environment. In this work, we explore the role of virtue ethics, which concern the character of a person, in contemporary science. Through interviews with 13 scientists, eight of whom are geoscientists, we identify six virtues in science (honesty, humility, philia, innocence, generosity and reticence), paired with vices, and construct a narrative argument around them. Specifically, we employ the narrative structure of the late medieval poem The Divine Comedy, by Dante Alighieri, and draw on its moral universe to explore the scientific virtues. Using this narrative device, we make the case for virtue ethics being a reliable guide for all matters scientific. As
such, this work lays out a modern code of conduct for science.
Investigation of quartz ESR residual signals in the last glacial and early Holocene fluvial deposits from the Lower Rhine
Authors: Richter Marcus , Tsukamoto Sumiko
Published: April 2021

Abstract. In this study, we examined the residual doses of the quartz electron spin resonance (ESR) signals from eight young fluvial sediments with known luminescence ages from the lower Rhine terraces. The single aliquot regenerative (SAR) protocol was applied to obtain the residual doses for both the Aluminium (Al) and Titanium (Ti) impurity centres. We show that all of the fluvial samples carry a significant amount of residual dose with a mean value of 1350 ± 120 Gy for the Al centre, 610 ± 60 Gy for the lithium-compensated Ti centre (Ti-Li), 170 ± 20 Gy for the hydrogen-compensated Ti centre (Ti-H), and 470 ± 50 Gy for the signal originated from both the Ti-Li and Ti-H centres (termed Ti-mix). To test the accuracy of the ESR SAR protocol, a dose recovery test was conducted and this confirmed the validity of the Ti-Li and Ti-mix signal results. The Al centre shows a dose recovery ratio of 1.74 ± 0.16, probably due to a sensitivity change by the thermal treatment in the SAR procedure, whereas the Ti-H signal shows a ratio of 0.56 ± 0.17. The results of this study suggest that fluvial sediments carry a significant residual dose, and therefore the subtraction of residual dose using a modern analogue is highly recommended to obtain reliable ESR ages.
Modeling intensive ocean–cryosphere interactions in Lützow-Holm Bay, East Antarctica
Authors: Kusahara Kazuya , Hirano Daisuke , Fujii Masakazu , Fraser Alexander D. , Tamura Takeshi
Published: April 2021

Abstract. Basal melting of Antarctic ice shelves accounts for more
than half of the mass loss from the Antarctic ice sheet. Many studies have
focused on active basal melting at ice shelves in the
Amundsen–Bellingshausen seas and the Totten ice shelf, East Antarctica. In
these regions, the intrusion of Circumpolar Deep Water (CDW) onto the
continental shelf is a key component for the localized intensive basal
melting. Both regions have a common oceanographic feature: southward
deflection of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current brings CDW toward the
continental shelves. The physical setting of the Shirase Glacier tongue (SGT) in
Lützow-Holm Bay corresponds to a similar configuration on the
southeastern side of the Weddell Gyre in the Atlantic sector. Here, we
conduct a 2–3 km resolution simulation of an ocean–sea ice–ice shelf model
using a recently compiled bottom-topography dataset in the bay. The
model can reproduce the observed CDW intrusion along the deep trough. The
modeled SGT basal melting reaches a peak in summer and a minimum in autumn
and winter, consistent with the wind-driven seasonality of the CDW thickness
in the bay. The model results suggest the existence of an eastward-flowing
undercurrent on the upper continental slope in summer, and the undercurrent
contributes to the seasonal-to-interannual variability in the warm water
intrusion into the bay. Furthermore, numerical experiments with and without
fast-ice cover in the bay demonstrate that fast ice plays a role as an
effective thermal insulator and reduces local sea ice formation, resulting
in much warmer water intrusion into the SGT cavity.
On the performance of the snow model Crocus driven by in situ and reanalysis data at Villum Research Station in northeast Greenland
Authors: Krampe Daniela , Kauker Frank , Dumont Marie , Herber Andreas
Published: April 2021

Abstract. Reliable and detailed snow data are limited in the Arctic. We aim at overcoming this issue by addressing two questions: (1) Can the reanalysis ERA5 replace limited in situ measurements in high latitudes to drive snow models? (2) Can the Alpine model Crocus simulate reliably Arctic snow depth and stratigraphy? We compare atmospheric in situ measurements and ERA5 reanalysis and evaluate simulated and measured snow depth, density and specific surface area (SSA) in northeast Greenland (October 2014–October 2018). To account for differences between Alpine and Arctic region, we introduce a new parametrisation for the density of new snow.Our results show a good agreement between in situ and ERA5 atmospheric variables except for precipitation, wind speed and direction. ERA5’s resolution is too coarse to resolve the topography in the study area adequately, leading presumably to the detected biases. Nevertheless, measured snow depth agrees better with ERA5 forced simulations than forced with in situ measurements.Crocus can simulate satisfactory the evolution of snow depth, but simulations of SSA and density profiles for both forcings are biased compared to field measurements. Adjusting the new snow density parametrisation leads to improvements in the simulated snow stratigraphy. In conclusion, ERA5 can be used instead of in situ measurements to force snow models but the use of Crocus in the Arctic is affected by limitations likely due to the missing vertical water vapour transport and snow redistribution during strong winds. These limitations strongly affect the accuracy of the vertical profiles of physical snow properties.

Published: April 2021

Oropharyngeal dysphagia (OPD) involves difficulty during one or more of the stages of swallowing, resulting in difficulty moving the bolus from the mouth to the stomach. A deficit in tongue mobility, such as that found with ankyloglossia, may affect the oropharyngeal transit time of the bolus and predispose a person to OPD. This study was conducted to examine the possible relationship between tongue tie and oropharyngeal dysphagia. Data were gathered on 8 participants (5 females, 3 males) between the ages of 12-43 years. The Lingual Frenulum Protocol (Marchesan, 2012) was used to determine tongue tie. An Iowa Oral Pressure Instrument (IOPI) measured tongue tip, tongue dorsum, and lip strength, and a combination of electromyography, and the five- finger palpation method measured laryngeal timing. Measurements were compared with normative data from Holzer (2011). Results revealed that participants with ankyloglossia had signs of oral stage dysphagia, including reduced articulator strength (tongue tip and dorsum, and lips) and reduced masseter activity. Oropharyngeal transit times were not significantly different from the norms.
Facial burn during orthognathic surgery: Case report

Published: April 2021

Despite the fact that the advances in surgical techniques have contributed to the reduction in the number of complications associated with orthognathic surgery, problems resulting from different phases of treatment, treatment planning, and postoperative period may occur. This paper presents a case of facial soft tissue lesion, burn in the lower lip region, in a patient with Class III malocclusion during orthognathic surgery. A 22-year, 3-month-old male patient with Class III malocclusion was burned in the paramedian region of the lower lip due to unnoticed overheating of the low-speed handpiece during sagittal osteotomy of the left mandibular ramus. The injury to the patient could have resulted in legal repercussions against the dental surgeon. However, that did not occur. The satisfaction with the aesthetic and functional results, from the standpoint of both dental and facial aspects, was more important for the patient than the aesthetics of the burn sequelae. Although orthognathic surgery is a safe and widely used procedure in association with orthodontic treatment, the risk of complications always exists. No matter how skilled and self-confident the surgeon is, careful attention to the variables that can be controlled should be taken into account in order to reduce the chance of complications that may result in irreversible damages.

Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is a subset of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma caused by excessive substance abuse like alcohol, tobacco etc.  Objectives: Aim of the present study was to evaluate the iron expression in different grades of OSCC and potential of iron staining as a prognostic marker and its importance as an essential nutrient in diet. Methods and Patients: It was a cross sectional study. A total of 40 oral biopsies were evaluated and the mean age of patients was 53.5 years with age range 23-80 years. 14 cases were well differentiated, 14 moderately differentiated and there were 12 poorly differentiated case. Iron staining was performed for all these cases. Results: Iron positivity was observed in 11 (27.5%) of OSCC patients with maximum iron positivity in well differentiated group (64.28%) of age range 20-40 years (70%). More patients had tongue as site of cancer. There was no genderwise difference in iron expression. Iron deficiency was associated with poor prognosis indicating iron as an important nutrient which can prevent OSCC if adequately present in our routine diet. Conclusions: Prevalence of iron positivity in young patients and initial stage of OSCC, indicates the protective effect of iron against oral squamous cell carcinoma

Uterine fibroids are the commonest benign tumor of the uterus and also the commonest benign solid tumor in the female. It can cause significant morbidity in women of a reproductive life span. The exact cause of uterine fibroid is unknown. Prevalence of uterine fibroid 5 -20 % of women in the reproductive age group. It can cause significant morbidity in women of a reproductive life span. Not all fibroids cause symptoms. 50% of women are asymptomatic. Fibroids mainly cause symptoms like menorrhagia, dysmenorrhea and cause pressure symptoms on adjacent viscera i. e. bladder, uterus, rectum which affects the everyday activities of women. In Ayurveda all gynecological disease explained under the term yonivyapad. It can be explained as the anatomical and functional abnormalities of the female reproductive system. In Ayurveda granthi can be correlated with the uterine fibroid. In modern science uterine fibroid treats medically, surgically. But it is challenging to establish a satisfactory conservatory medical treatment to date. so in Ayurveda the main purpose is the management of granthi by samprapti vighatan by use of medicine.

Nadi Pariksha is the ancient ayurvedic technique of diagnosis through the pulse. It can accurately diagnose physical, mental, and emotional imbalances as well as diseases. It is a non - invasive science that enables to reach the root cause of health issues and not just address the symptoms. Nadi Pariksha understands the vibratory frequency of the pulse at various levels on the Radial artery. Subtle vibrations are read at seven different levels vertically downward that help in ascertaining various functions in the body. The pulse, when examined, reveals both physical & mental characteristics of the patient. This is interpreted in the form of symptoms along with their prognosis, which helps in understanding the cause. Thus, Nadi Pariksha forms the basis for addressing any ailment in an individual. Additionally, it is also the scientific tool that enables an individual to secure their personalized wellness regimes that range from therapeutic massages, personalized diet, exercise programmes, rigorous detoxification and lifestyle transforming experiences.

Building a family, church, educational institution or business world cannot be separated from the concept of an education. Education is an important reference in seeing, directing and bringing about a very significant and maximum change. By using descriptive descriptive method, through the literature study approach, research can describe the journey of education in a person, family, educational institution, church or business world, which cannot be separated from the psychological element which is the basis for further understanding. This is because there are many people who have not taken Christian education seriously in the family, work environment, even in churches with a clear curriculum. In the context of this discussion, education is focused on Christian education. It is very necessary to build a strong psychological foundation in Christian education, so that it can be used as a reference in building an ideal and maximum Christian education. The principles in this presentation will formulate some of the psychological foundations which are the foundation of Christian education. Because Christian education is very important in building a wholeness of view that is in accordance with the truth of God's Word and the character of Christ.
Morphophonological gradience in Korean n-insertion
Authors: Jun Jongho
Published: April 2021

This study addresses the questions of what factors may have a gradient effect in application of a morphophonological process, how they interact, and which of the gradient effects speakers are aware of, by investigating the variation patterns of Korean n-insertion. An analysis is performed on the results of two surveys on speakers of two dialects of Korean, Seoul and Kyungsang, one using existing words and the other using novel Korean words. From the results of the survey on n-insertion in existing Korean words, I have found several gradient tendencies involving a variety of factors including phonological and morphological ones and their interactions. Such factors include morphological category, etymology and length of component morphemes, sonorancy and place of articulation of the consonant preceding the insertion site, height of the initial vowel of the morpheme following the insertion site and dialects of speakers. None of these factors are absolute conditions for the occurrence of n-insertion, contrary to the previous studies on Korean n-insertion, and they have gradient effect, contributing to the overall probability of n-insertion. Consequently, Korean n-insertion provides a clear case where previous categorical proposals do not match with gradient reality, lending support to quantitative theories of morphophonology.

Results: Platelet recoveries from BC pooling did not present significant differences between PP and SSP+ methods (p >0.05). pH, MPV, and pO2 results were not affected by the storage medium during the storage period. Leukocyte concentration (CD45) complied in both groups with European standards. Glucose consumption and apoptosis markers were of lower values with PP platelets, and activation markers (CD62P) were higher with LDPC in PP (p > 0.05).

Conclusion: In vitro analysis of the seven-day storage of LDPC in SSP+ revealed stability in pH with a lower expression of CD62p, among other biochemical markers. Therefore, LDPC in SSP+ is a sustainable product for transfusion with the equivalent quality compared with five-day storage platelets in PP.

La Universidad Centroamericana implementa desde el año 2012 el Programa “Campus Saludable”, incorporando el concepto de promoción de la salud y estilo de vida saludable para facilitar el desarrollo humano y mejorar la condición de vida de la población universitaria. En esta investigación se analizó el impacto de este programa en la adopción de comportamientos alimentarios saludables y la etapa de cambio en la dieta según el modelo transteórico, a fin de contribuir a la mejora del programa. El estudio es descriptivo y transversal y participaron 119 personas; 60 estudiantes y 59 trabajadores. Los datos se analizaron en el programa SPSS 20 mediante frecuencia, porcentajes, pruebas chi cuadrado y t de Student. Se clasificaron cinco etapas de cambio de la dieta: precontemplación, contemplación, preparación, acción y mantenimiento. Mediante una encuesta electrónica se indagó la adopción de comportamientos alimentarios como: aumento en consumo de frutas y vegetales, disminución de grasas y azúcares, realización del desayuno y utilización del tamaño de las porciones. De los resultados se destaca que el aumento de consumo de frutas y vegetales fue adoptado por 91 personas agrupadas en las etapas de precontemplación 12, preparación 48, mantenimiento 12 y 19 en las otras etapas. En la disminución de grasas y alimentos ricos en azúcar se ubican 98 personas, en las etapas de acción 47, mantenimiento 43, seis en preparación y dos en precontemplación. El cálculo del tamaño de las porciones fue asumido por 56 personas ubicadas 29 en acción y 27 en mantenimiento.  La realización del desayuno fue adoptado por 98 personas ubicadas en dos etapas, la mayor parte en mantenimiento 76 y acción 22. Se encontró diferencia significativa entre estudiantes y trabajadores en la realización del desayuno (p<0.05), en cuanto al sexo, el aumento de frutas y vegetales no mostró diferencia significativa (p>0.05).

A ideologia da contrarreforma do direito coletivo do trabalho e a contribuição do princípio da boa-fé para as negociações coletivas
Authors: Maximiliano Ana Maria , Iantas Isabel Ceccon
Published: April 2021

O presente artigo objetiva identificar a possível contribuição do princípio da boa-fé na construção das cláusulas que compõem o Acordo Coletivo do Trabalho (ACT) e a Convenção Coletiva do Trabalho (CCT). Para tanto, aponta a influência da ideologia, no contexto do neoliberalismo, na construção do direito do trabalho para, após, demonstrar o reflexo dessa ideologia na contrarreforma trabalhista, trazida pela lei nº 13.467/2017, que desregulamentou e flexibilizou os direitos trabalhistas. No contexto da contrarreforma, observa-se o enfraquecimento do direito coletivo do trabalho, acompanhado da desarticulação do movimento sindical, que abre a possibilidade de livre negociação com os sindicatos em uma posição de fragilidade negocial. Por fim, passa a expor o princípio da boa-fé em relação com o direito coletivo. Para o desenvolvimento, parte-se de pesquisa exploratória e abordagem qualitativa, com levantamento bibliográfico e pesquisa documental. Conclui-se que o princípio da boa-fé pode ser aplicado na formulação de acordos e convenções coletivas de trabalho, com o objetivo de proteger a classe trabalhadora.
Uma análise da multidimensionalidade das percepções de justiça em um tipo ideal de economia solidária e nos empreendimentos econômicos solidários do Paraná
Authors: Solon Chovghi Iazdi Oz
Published: April 2021

O artigo parte de uma crítica à concepção unidimensional de justiça utilizada pela economia neoclássica para propor a necessidade de se adotar uma abordagem multidimensional desse conceito, incluindo noções distributivas, procedimentais e interacionais. Mostra-se que, em teoria, um tipo ideal de Economia Solidária provê maiores incentivos do que um tipo ideal de Economia Capitalista para a amplificação do senso de igualdade, democracia e solidariedade percebido pelos trabalhadores. Contudo, através da observação de relatos em empreendimentos econômicos solidários do Paraná, evidencia-se que há, ainda, um compartilhamento de valores institucionais que se distanciam do que se espera de uma Economia Solidária ideal.
Os determinantes da inflação na República democrática do Congo: um estudo econométrico (2005-2015)
Authors: Kobunda Christian Ndege , Monte Edson Zambon , Moreira Ricardo Ramalhete
Published: April 2021

Em muitos países emergentes e subdesenvolvidos, os choques de oferta provaram ser os maiores causadores da inflação a partir dos anos 2000 (DE GREGORIO, 2012). As mudanças de preços das commodities e da taxa de câmbio nominal mostraram-se relevantes para o entendimento da dinâmica inflacionária destes países. Assim, este trabalho teve por objetivo analisar os determinantes da inflação na República Democrática do Congo, entre janeiro de 2005 e dezembro de 2015, utilizando o modelo dos vetores autorregressivo (VAR), por meio das funções de resposta ao impulso (FRis) e da decomposição da variância do erro de previsão (DV). Os resultados mostraram que o pass-through do câmbio foi a variável com maiores impactos, positivos e significativos, sobre a inflação, e que a taxa de juros revelou-se um instrumento insignificante estatisticamente para combater a inflação no país.
Brasil: impactos do Covid-19 e recuperação
Authors: Bresser-Pereira Luiz Carlos
Published: April 2021

Este artigo examina os impactos do Covido-19 sobre a população e a economia brasileira, a elevada mortalidade por 100 mil habitantes e a lenta estabilização. E faz uma breve comparação com o que vem ocorrendo em um país semelhante da América Latina, onde os resultados em termos de mortes por 100 mil habitantes foram melhores, e na França, onde a recuperação foi mais forte. O trabalho avalia também a eficiência nos gastos; a comparação não foi também favorável ao Brasil. Finalmente, discute o problema do financiamento, argumentando que apenas a Argentina valeu-se da política adotada pela maioria dos países ricos que têm moeda e banco central próprios (não é o caso da França) de compra pelo banco central do país de títulos emitidos pelo tesouro.

The aim of this study was to examine the behavioral, productive, reproductive and thermoregulatory performance of 3/4 and 7/8 Holstein/Gir (HG) dairy cows to identify which genetic composition suffers the least heat stress. A completely randomized design was adopted involving 20 multiparous, lactating crossbred cows from a dairy farm located in the municipality of Turvânia - GO, Brazil. During the experimental period, data on behavioral, productive, reproductive and thermoregulatory traits were collected every 15 days. Bioestat (5.0) statistical software was used for statistical analysis. The mean temperature-humidity index, ambient temperature and relative humidity obtained throughout the experimental period were 74.45, 30.51 ºC and 63.64%, respectively. In terms of reproductive performance, there was a significant difference (p < 0.05) between the genetic compositions for the time from calving to first service, with a longer period shown by the animals with greater Holstein breed genetic composition. Service period and calving interval differed significantly (p < 0.05) during the experimental period between the genetic compositions. A significant difference (p < 0.05) was also detected between the compositions for respiratory rate, with higher values observed in the animals with higher European genetic composition. Benezra thermal comfort index also differed significantly (p < 0.05), with the 7/8 HG animals showing a higher value. Lactating cows with a 7/8 HG genetic composition achieved better results in milk production, whereas those with 3/4 HG genetic composition showed superiority in milk fat composition and reproductive and thermoregulatory performance, indicating greater adaptation to the climatic conditions of the region.

We aim to evaluate inoculants with different strains of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) in corn silage on ingestive behavior, apparent digestibility of diet, performance and carcass traits of heifers. The treatments were: corn silage without inoculant (control); with 11CFT inoculant (strains of Lactobacillus buchneri and Lactobacillus casei) and with 11C33 inoculant (Lactobacillus buchneri, Lactobacillus plantarum and Enterococcus faecium) with six repetitions each. Ingestive behavior, weight gain and daily dry matter intake was not affected by the use of inoculants in corn silage. The apparent digestibility of diet was higher to silage with 11C33 inoculant, not differing from the diet with silage with 11CFT (73.30% and 71.99%, respectively). The animals fed silage inoculated with 11CFT obtained greater values of carcass gain and average daily carcass gain (86.33 kg and 0.833 kg day-1, respectively). The use of these inoculants in corn silage shows promising results regarding the gain of animals in feedlot.
