ANÁLISE MICROBIOLÓGICA DO SUSHI NIGIRI COMERCIALIZADO NOS SUPERMERCADOS DE FORTALEZA - CE
Authors: Charlene Gonçalves Ferreira et al.
Published: August 2022

O consumo de sushi, prato típico japonês, tornou-se muito popular e consumido em muitos países  No entanto, o consumo desse alimento, pode ocasionar surtos de doenças  gastrointestinais devido ao modo de preparo. Dentre os possíveis agentes etiológicos, destaca-se a bactéria Staphylococcus aureus a qual pode ocasionar infecções e intoxicações. Nesse contexto, o objetivo do trabalho foi analisar a presença de Staphylococcus spp.  em seis amostras de sushi nigiri coletadas em dois supermercados de Fortaleza-Ceará. Para isso, foi aplicada a técnica de espalhamento de superfície Spread Plate para detecção de Staphylococcus spp. Dos resultados encontrados, observamos que três (50%) amostras não estavam condizentes ao critério  microbiológico estabelecido pela legislação vigente. Além disso, observamos que os consumidores estão mais criteriosos em relação escolha do local e serviço prestado na produção do sushi, uma vez que eles estão mais exigentes no que carece sobre a limpeza e qualidade do produto. Dessa maneira, faz-se necessário aplicar as Boas Práticas de Fabricação (BPF) para que venham a garantir qualidade aos alimentos minimizando a contaminação, garantindo, assim, um alimento seguro para os clientes.
DIVERSIDADE ARBÓREA NAS VIAS PÚBLICAS DO MUNICÍPIO DE BENJAMIN CONSTANT – AM
Authors: Railma Pereira Moraes et al.
Published: August 2022

As árvores são componentes vitais dos ecossistemas urbanos, pois são importantes para a melhoria da qualidade ambiental e de vida das populações. Porém, é possível notar que a composição arbórea e a diversidade de espécies são diferentes nas vias urbanas de uma mesma cidade. Diante do exposto, o presente trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar fatores que contribuem para a composição arbórea das espécies e a arborização viária de seis ruas de Benjamin Constant – AM. A pesquisa iniciou-se com o inventário tipo Censo, sendo coletadas as informações fitossociológicas através de observação direta e registro fotográfico, para posterior identificação das espécies. Como fatores que poderiam influenciar a abundância foram levantados: tempo de construção e uso das vias. Procedeu-se a organização e a tabulação dos dados, cálculo de abundância, riqueza e frequência relativa. No inventário foram identificados 135 exemplares arbóreos distribuídos em 19 famílias e 35 espécies. Verificou-se que o tempo de construção não é marco diferencial para as vias, tendo em vista que as ruas Américo Maciel, sendo uma rua mais recente, e João C. de Lima, uma das ruas mais antigas, apresentaram as maiores diversidades. Contudo, as formas de usos principais empregados pelas pessoas, parecem influenciar a diversidade, pois locais classificados com área de lazer, e residenciais possuem maior presença de indivíduos arbóreos, dado que se contrapõe quando as vias passam a ser mais comerciais.
Asian answers to COVID-19-induced unemployment through the example of three countries
Authors: Tóth Arnold , Kálmán Botond
Published: August 2022

Asia is one of the most diverse regions on earth. Some countries are characterized by poverty and the daily struggle for livelihood, while others are among the strongest and most dynamically growing parts of world economy. COVID-19 caused a real global economic downturn, which led to a sudden rise in unemployment and income-induced insecurity. We have focused our research on three countries. One of them is Japan: it is one of the most stable economies in the region and has long been one of the model states for the modern economy. The other is South Korea: one of the fastest growing economies in Asia, with extensive international connections. The third country is Australia, which belongs to the Anglo-Saxon culture. Our research goal was to examine the evolution of unemployment in the decade before the pandemic, and the impact of short-term measures introduced because of the epidemic. For our study, we chose the ARIMA method, which is suitable for the analysis of long time series based on the OECD database and for estimating the future development of the data. Our results show that because of the epidemic, unemployment increased in all the three countries studied, but due to the typical response strategy of each country, the subsequent development of the data was no longer the same. In our study, we examine the labour market impact of each protection strategy and draw attention to the most effective ways of protection against a subsequent pandemic.

Objective: To describe the probability of appropriate hand hygiene behaviors among outpatients and visitors at a primary care unit before and after installation of additionally strategically placed hand rub dispensers and empirically-designed behavioral nudges.  Material and Methods: We conducted a quasi-experimental study at a suburban primary care unit in southern Thailand. The intervention consisted of included installation of hand rub dispensers and attachment of behavioral nudges. We designed the behavioral nudges using qualitative data from a focus-group discussion with local residents, who identified disgust and normative expectations from children as the main behavioral drivers for following appropriate hand hygiene behaviors. We then conducted surreptitious observations of hand hygiene behaviors among outpatients and visitors before intervention delivery during Wave 1 and Wave 2 of the pandemic (Phase 1 and Phase 2, respectively), after installation of the hand gel dispensers alone (Phase 3), and after attaching behavioral nudge signs to the dispensers (Phase 4).  Results: The probability of appropriate hand hygiene behavior increased from 0.6 percent in Phase 1 to 13.5 percent in Phase 4. However, the increase was statistically significant only from Phase 2 to Phase 3 in the zones where the dispensers were located (adjusted odds ratio 10.58; 95% confidence interval 1.95, 57.24). Conclusion: The probability of appropriate hand hygiene behavior after installation of the dispensers was significantly higher than at pre-intervention, but the difference in appropriate hand hygiene before and after attachment of the nudges to the dispensers was not statistically significant. The study findings could nonetheless contribute empirical evidence on observed changes in hand hygiene behaviors in a primary care setting.

Published: August 2022

Elementary school is the starting place for a child to start education and get various kinds of experiences. Elementary school is the highest level of education compared to Junior High School and Senior High School. The large number of elementary schools makes parents/guardians not know for sure where the elementary school is located. This makes parents/guardians not have many references to send their children to school in the future. Based on the existing problems, the author proposes a web-based geographic information system that uses the A-Star Algorithm (A*) to be used as a means of information and also to add references to parents/guardians. The A-Star Algorithm (A*) is a method to search for information about the distance to reach the destination by selecting the closest route. The reason for using this algorithm is because the calculations are easy to understand. The result of this research is a web-based geographic information system that can provide information about 6 samples of elementary schools along with the location and the closest route that can be passed in the Mustikajaya District area.

Published: August 2022

Kabupaten Bintan merupakan salah satu wilayah yang berada dalam bagian Pemerintahan yang ada di Kepulauan Riau,dimana jumlah pertumbuhan UMKM cukup cepat dari tahun ke tahun. Para pelaku UMKM yang ada di Kabupaten Bintan semakin hari semakin bertambah peminatnya, namun hal tersebut diirigi dengan tidak sedikit pula pelaku UMKM yang tidak mampu bertahan dalam menjalankan usahanya. Sedangkan pelaku UMKM yang masih bertahan juga sedikit lambat dalam berkembangnya usaha. . Hal ini disebabkan oleh beberapa faktor, diantaranya yang paling dominan adalah persoalan sumber daya manusia atau pelaku usaha UMKM tersebut, yang dinilai masih kurang. kebanyakan keahlian yang dimiliki secara otodidak dalam mengelola usaha, yang hanya sebatas dapat memproduksi dan memasarkan hasil produk dengan menetapkan harga jual yang ditentukan berdasarkan hitungan perkiraan saja, tanpa memperhitungkan secara rinci biaya-biaya yang telah terserap dalam memproduksi produk hasil rumahan tersebut. Perhitungan biaya-biaya yang dikeluarkan dalam memproduksi produk rumahan tersebut sangat penting dalam penetapan harga jual produk yang dihasilkan, agar nantinya harga jual produk tersebut tidak kurang dari harga pokok produksi yang telah dikeluarkan, dengan memperhitungkan laba yang lebih maksimal.
Crowned Buddha images of Lanna kingdom and "contamination by Mahayana" paradigm
Authors: Grunin I. V.
Published: August 2022

The study is a continuation of a series of articles that provide a critical analysis of the dominant paradigm in Buddhist Studies, which links the emergence of the crowned Buddha image with the relatively late ideas of the Mahayana. The existence of the image in the Theravada world is explained from this point of view by the "contamination” from the Great Vehicle. The article shows the difficulties faced by this concept, which is forced to explain the transition from the "early” image in the guise of a monk by referring to the custom of decorating existing statues with real jewelry. In this regard, the author explores the features of the demonstration of monastic robe in combination with royal regalia in Buddhist iconography, from Indian samples of the Pala to the Khmer type of image. It is shown that, contrary to the widespread point of view, the traditional arrangement of jewelry is not on top of the monastic vestments, but under it, which cannot be explained in principle on the basis of said custom. Since the monk's clothing is thought of as an obstacle that prevents one from seeing the features of the supernatural anatomy of the Buddha and the signs that distinguish him as a Great Man, it is depicted as an almost invisible transparent cover, which ultimately "disappears" in images with a "naked" torso, where only barely noticeable lines on the body indicate the invisible presence of monastic robe. The practice of making crowned Buddha images in the Lanna kingdom, following this tradition, turns a reception with decorations partially hidden by a monk’s clothes into a kind of "manifestation” that the symbolism of the image is much deeper than the simple transformation of a temporary addition into a permanent attribute. An analysis of the adornments allows us to conclude that they have no obvious Indian prototypes and a conscious choice of a special type of regalia of the highest royal power, referring to the narrative about the relationship between the Buddha and the Cakkavatti. In connection with this narrative, the crowned image appears, on the one hand, as a symbol of the subordination of secular power to the goals proclaimed by the Buddhist teaching, on the other hand, as an monographic embodiment of the model of power, which allows reconciling the imperial ambitions of the rulers with the ideals of Buddhism. The article also formulates a hypothesis about the "re-Indianized” style of the Lanna crowned Buddha images, that is, the formation of this style as a result of reconstruction based on texts devoted to Indian iconography, as well as available samples, presumably originating from Srivijaya, which reveal traces of influence from both north-east and south of India. Based on the analysis of one of the provincial types of the crowned Buddha, it is shown how the image acquires local ethnic features, absorbing traditional cults and becoming a symbol of national self-identification, protection of the path of ancestors.
Talking to the enemy...: the military phrasebooks by the litterateur Osip Senkovskii (1828) and Lieut.-General Nikolai Biasi (1941). Part 2
Authors: Serikoff N. I.
Published: August 2022

The article 1 offers a comparison between two military phrasebooks the "Pocket-book for the Russian soldiers on the Turkish frontline” (Karman-naia kniga dlia russkikh voinov v turestkikh pokhodakh) [St. Petersburg, 1828] by Osip Ivanovich Senkovskii (1800-1858) and the "The The Concise Russian-German military phrasebook for a private soldier and subaltern” (Kratkii russko-nemetskii razgovornik dlia boitsa i mladshego komandira) [Moscow, 1941] by Lieut.-Gen. Nikolai Nikolaevich Biiazi (1893-1973). The author argues that these types of scholarly and literary production cannot be considered as ‘phrasebooks’ par excellence, since such reference books could be hardly used on the battlefield. The research makes it evident that these "phrasebooks” were designed as "teach yourself" manuals of colloquial Turkish and German and adapted to the needs of a non-specialist audience. In the second part special attention is paid to the analysis of the "built-in’’ mechanisms as designed by Senkovskii and Biiazi, which enabled prompt language learning by the military audience.

The use of innovative technologies dooms project participants to a constant collision with the unknown and access to underdeveloped spaces, which ultimately leads to the intensive production of new knowledge about this region of the world. The device, structure and internal logic of the project are analyzed in the article through the categories of "interest" and "interesting".
O papel da formação profissional contínua no processo de humanização do ambiente hospitalar
Authors: Proença Rosa , Vaz Henrique , Pais Sofia
Published: August 2022

Este artigo traz para a discussão o papel que a formação profissional contínua pode ter na humanização do ambiente hospitalar. Numa época em que (também) as instituições de saúde se norteiam por indicadores de produtividade e padrões de qualidade, com as novas tecnologias a ganhar espaço e domínio, a necessidade de se humanizar os serviços de saúde tem sido amplamente discutida e mesmo reclamada, com a própria tutela a reconhecer que há um importante trabalho a desenvolver nesse sentido. Neste paradigma, e tendo em conta os princípios basilares da formação profissional contínua, é legítimo questionar o papel que ela pode ter enquanto processo de humanização num contexto diferenciado como é o hospital.

Os dados encontrados neste estudo realizado num hospital apontam, precisamente, para a necessidade de a formação contínua dos hospitais atender mais ao seu lado interativo e reflexivo, condições que a aproxima dos princípios da humanização.
Initial Chest X-ray scoring in the prediction of COVID-19 patients’ outcome in the United Arab Emirates
Authors: Ibrahim Saabh , Albadra Mustafa , Tadros Fady
Published: August 2022

Background: The radiological scoring of severity and progression of lung abnormalities is of great value for clinicians to define the clinical management of COVID-19 patients.
Objectives: The purpose of this study is to implement the Brixia scoring tool to assess the pattern of lung involvement in patients with COVID-19 to help predict the severity of their clinical outcome, where the clinical outcome correlates to outpatient, inpatient and/or ICU admission.
Patients and Methods: We conducted a case series study at the Sheikh Khalifa Medical City Ajman (SKMCA), United Arab Emirates from 14 March to 30 October 2020. Patients’ medical records were reviewed and followed up from the time of diagnosis until discharge and/or death. The patients were included based on the following criteria: Confirmed COVID-19 infection via RT-PCR assay, symptoms of COVID-19 within one week prior to presenting at the hospital and an initial Chest X-ray at hospital presentation. Two independent and experienced radiologists implemented the Brixia scoring tool for the assessment of pulmonary involvement detected on CXR of patients with COVID-19.
Results: We reported cut-off values of the CXR score to be 7 for ICU admission (sensitivity=84.1%) and a cut-off score of 9 to predict the outcome of death (sensitivity=70.4%); where both values were statistically significant with p-value <0.001. Age and co-morbid conditions potentiate the CXR score.
Conclusion: Patients with a Brixia score higher than the cut-off value would require ICU admission. In addition to the Brixia scoring tool, age and pre-existing co-morbid diseases are important predictors of the clinical outcome. CXR can serve as a valuable factor for risk stratification for clinical outcome in patients with COVID-19 pneumonia

Published: August 2022

Background: Nicotine addiction is the inevitable result for many smokers. Regardless of control and intervention strategies for smoking cessation, it is important to determine the nicotine dependence score for each smoker. 
Objectives: To assess the nicotine dependence by FAGERSTRŐM Test for nicotine dependence (FTND score) and to find out the association of nicotine dependence with some smoking-related comorbidities and with the level of education.
Patients and Methods: This is a cross-sectional study on a total of 200 adult smokers who were attending different departments in Al-Imamain Al-Kadhimain Medical City during the period from April 2019 to October 2019. Demographic data including age, sex and educational level, number of cigarettes/day, number of attempts to quit smoking, as well as comorbidities including hypertension, ischemic heart disease, and malignancies were obtained. Nicotine dependency was assessed by FTND which consists of six items and has a total maximum score of 10. 
Results: The overall average of FTND among smokers was 5.8 ± 2.81. A low score was found in 12.5% of the participants, moderate score in 33% and high score in 54.5%. FTND score showed a significant positive correlation with the number of cigarette/day (r= 0.758, p< 0.001), age of the smoker (r= 0.457, p<0.005), and duration of smoking (r= 0.536, p< 0.001), while a negative correlation was found with the educational level (r=-0.547, p<0.001). The presence Smoking-related comorbidities, particularly, ischemic heart disease (IHD) and malignancy, was associated with higher FTND scores compared with the absence of these comorbidities (P<0.001). 
Conclusions: More than one half of smokers studied had a high nicotine dependence score. Nicotine dependence score correlates positively with the number of smoked cigarettes per day, age of the smoker and duration of smoking, and negatively correlated with the educational level.

The Correlation was used to investigate the relationship between P100- latencies and EDSS. P value ≤0.05 was considered significant.
Results: The average age of MS cases was 33.5±8.01 years, and the mean EDSS was 2.8±2.86. A significant difference in the latency period was reported. The study showed a significant positive correlation between EDSS and P100 latency period.
Conclusions: Using non-invasive procedures like VEPs can help to monitor and detect deterioration and improvement in MS patients.
The Relevance of “Soft Power” and Hallyu’s Success in Romania
Authors: Marinescu Valentina
Published: August 2022

The cultural and educational export of Hallyu in Romania offered an example in the success of teaching and learning Korean Studies in Romania. The on-line Korean Studies courses (2012-2017) which had been delivered to the Romanian students had enabled them to learn about different societies, acquiring the understandings about universal values and enhancing their knowledges about South Korea. As regards the dissemination of South Korea’s popular culture, the researches made between 2011 and-2017 showed that Romanian fans and general audiences of South Korea’s cultural products perceived and decoded Halluy as a cultural “mix” between the “local” (that is, South Korean) elements and the appeal at a set of “global” (universal) values. More precisely, in the case of Romanian audiences for Hallyu products (TV series and/or K-Pop music) there was a validation of theories regarding the cultural hybrid motivations involved in media consumption and theories emphasizing globalism and of these cultural products, making them desirable and wanted world-wide. The main conclusion of the article is that the audience of Hallyu in Romania is not a homogenous one but diverse and polyvalent. The success of Hallyu in this country is the result of the creative use of “Soft power” as a part of South Korea’s public diplomacy in Europe.

Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to analyze the dynamic factors of the daily FX implied volatility based on the fractional integration methods focusing on long memory feature and structural changes. Design/methodology/approach - This paper uses the daily FX implied volatility data of the EUR-USD and the JPY-USD exchange rates. For the fractional integration analysis, this paper first applies the basic ARFIMA-FIGARCH model and the Local Whittle method to explore the long memory feature in the implied volatility series. Then, this paper employs the Adaptive-ARFIMA-Adaptive-FIGARCH model with a flexible Fourier form to allow for the structural changes with the long memory feature in the implied volatility series. Findings - This paper finds statistical evidence of the long memory feature in the first two moments of the implied volatility series. And, this paper shows that the structural changes appear to be an important factor and that neglecting the structural changes may lead to an upward bias in the long memory feature of the implied volatility series. Research implications or Originality - The implied volatility has widely been believed to be the market’s best forecast regarding the future volatility in FX markets, and modeling the evolution of the implied volatility is quite important as it has clear implications for the behavior of the exchange rates in FX markets. The Adaptive-ARFIMA-Adaptive-FIGARCH model could be an excellent description for the FX implied volatility series

La sarcoidosis es una afectación granulomatosa sistémica de etiología incierta. Se diagnostica ante el hallazgo de granulomas no necrotizantes en ausencia de otros procesos autoinmunes, infecciosos o agentes externos. La incidencia de la afectación gastrointestinal se estima en un 0,1-1,6% mientras que la afectación hepática ocurre en el 50-65% de los casos, pudiendo ser subclínica o descubierta en el estudio de una alteración de las enzimas hepáticas.
Presentamos el caso de un varón de 51 años con un cuadro de saciedad posprandial, dolor epigástrico y ascitis refractaria en contexto de una sarcoidosis con afectación gastrointestinal y hepática. Se inició tratamiento con prednisona y azatioprina con estabilización clínica posterior.

La pustulosis exantemática generalizada aguda (PEGA) es un tipo de lesión cutánea poco común caracterizada por la aparición rápida e insidiosa de numerosas pústulas estériles sobre un fondo eritematoso. Esta reacción normalmente es desencadenada por fármacos, principalmente antibióticos y más raramente por otros tipos de desencadenantes como infecciones o vacunas.
Se presenta el caso de una paciente que desarrolló PEGA tras la administración de la vacuna de Pfizer-BioNTech frente al SARS-CoV-2. Según nuestro conocimiento solo hay seis casos descritos por la vacuna frente al SARS-CoV-2 y ninguno de ellos por la vacuna de Pfizer-BioNTech.

La malaria es una enfermedad parasitaria potencialmente mortal producida por el mosquito Anopheles infectado por Plasmodium. Las infecciones por Plasmodium ovale representan una minoría y pueden aparecer de forma tardía por la quiescencia del parásito en el huésped. Habitualmente dichas infecciones se asocian a sintomatología leve; sin embargo, pueden manifestarse de forma grave con presencia de infartos esplénicos o afectación pulmonar.
Describimos un caso de malaria por P. ovale con afectación pulmonar e infartos esplénicos a los 6 meses de regresar de viaje a Ghana. En el diagnóstico diferencial de un paciente viajero con síndromes febriles, es muy importante tener en cuenta las enfermedades tropicales, como la malaria, a pesar del tiempo transcurrido desde su exposición.

Entre Eros y Philía en el Lysis de Platón. Una aproximación hermenéutica
Authors:   Instituto de Humanidades / Universidad Panamericana, Rojas Tapia José Roberto , Ramírez Daza y García Rómulo ,   Instituto de Humanidades / Universidad Panamericana
Published: August 2022

Lysis –diálogo de la juventud de Platón como escritor– representa el primer acercamiento del filósofo ateniense al tema del amor, y justo en este texto aparece una tensión conceptual entre eros y philía, que no parece tener justamente una solución definitiva en el curso de su argumentación. El texto queda abierto a un replanteamiento aporético y doctrinal que tendrá una cierta continuidad en el Symposio y en el Fedro, pero que tomado como una pieza en sí misma parece tener otras implicaciones fuera del foco temático principal. En esta investigación se presentará su fenomenología argumentativa como su problematización esencial.
