Published: August 2021

RESUMO O bullying é um dos principais problemas enfrentados por crianças e adolescentes nas escolas. Este estudo teve por objetivo examinar evidências disponíveis na literatura sobre o efeito do desengajamento moral no envolvimento de estudantes em situações de bullying. Para tanto, foi realizada revisão sistemática com metanálise e consulta a oito bases de dados. As publicações elegíveis foram analisadas por meio da análise conceitual e do pacote estatístico Metafor. O estudo foi registrado na base PROSPERO. No total, 15 artigos foram incluídos na revisão. Os dados evidenciam que o desengajamento moral é um forte preditor para o comportamento de bullying (OR 0,27; IC95%: 0,18, 0,35) e estudantes propensos a se desengajarem moralmente podem praticar mais bullying quando comparados com estudantes com maior engajamento moral. Conclui-se que fatores cognitivos relacionados ao desengajamento moral devem ser incluídos na discussão do fenômeno, bem como ser considerados nas propostas de intervenção antibullying.

Authors: Silva Renata da , Souza Marilia Rodrigues Freitas de , Oliveira Acary Souza Bulle , Iório Maria Cecília Martinelli
Published: August 2021

Resumo A miopatia mitocondrial é causada pela ausência e/ou insuficiência de uma enzina quaternária, L-carnitina, responsável por transportar ácidos graxos livres para a parte interna da mitocôndria. A função da mitocôndria é produzir energia, contribuindo para o bom funcionamento das células. A Lipidose Muscular é uma doença que provoca anomalias em enzimas que metabolizam gordura e por consequência causa acúmulo de toxinas de subprodutos com gordura nos tecidos. O objetivo deste trabalho é apresentar o estudo de caso da paciente B.D., 37 anos, diagnosticada com Lipidose Muscular aos seis anos, com deficiência de L-Carnitina e relatar o acompanhamento fonoaudiológico realizado em um serviço de saúde auditiva. A abertura de prontuário da paciente foi realizada em 05/03/1989. Foi prescrito pelo neurologista o uso contínuo de 2g/dia de L-carnitina. A mãe relatou que B.D. apresentava dificuldades em ouvir, pois era muito desatenta, o que foi mais evidente quando começou a frequentar a escola. Em 1988, a paciente foi diagnosticada com perda auditiva neurossensorial de grau moderado bilateral e começou a fazer uso de aparelhos de amplificação sonora individual retroauriculares em 1989. O desempenho escolar e comunicação melhoraram. Em 1998, passou a utilizar aparelhos tipo micro canal, o que a favoreceu esteticamente, promoveu melhora da localização sonora e maior ganho em altas frequências. Os limiares de audibilidade apresentaram uma leve piora e a paciente atualmente é pós-graduada e trabalha em uma grande instituição financeira. Conclui-se que o diagnostico neurológico e a intervenção fonoaudiológica precoces possibilitaram o adequado desenvolvimento de linguagem da paciente.

Conclusão: A análise de tendência temporal evidenciou que as taxas de incidência de sífilis gestacional e sífilis congênita apresentaram tendências crescentes significativas, o que se pode relacionar ao tratamento inadequado ou à não realização de tratamento da sífilis durante o período gestacional.
Performance of tripod foundations for offshore wind turbines: a numerical study
Authors: Ochmański M. , Mašín D. , Duque J. , Yi H. , Lizhong W.
Published: August 2021

Around 80% of offshore wind turbines (OWTs) are founded on deep seabeds using large-diameter monopiles that reach a length up to 60 m. In a race to seek cost-effectiveness, tripod foundations made with suction caissons represent a promising solution. The deformation mechanism induced by cyclic lateral loading on the tripod bucket embedded in sand reveals recovery of dynamic stiffness with the number of cycles that influences the subsequent dynamic response of the structure–foundation complex. This ‘self-healing’ and the coupled increase of settlement rate are caused by uneven change in soil fabric and density among the buckets. However, the capability of the recently developed constitutive models to predict this effect is limited. To address this issue, a series of centrifuge tests are herein back-analysed with a three-dimensional finite-element model. The implicit approach has been implemented using an advanced rate-independent hypoplastic model coupled with the conventional intergranular strain theory. The model captures the magnitude of the peak and residual cumulative rotation. The results indicate that the push–pull mechanism turns into a horizontal translation, with active wedges formed behind the pulled bucket. After about 100 cycles, due to significant redistribution of mean stresses, wedges are formed around both pushed and pulled buckets.

Authors: Rutikanga Justin Ushize , Diop Aliou
Published: August 2021

Estimation of the extreme-value index of a heavy-tailed distribution is investigated when some functional random covariate (i.e. valued in some infinite dimensional space) information is available and the scalar response variable is right-censored. A weighted kernel version of Hill’s estimator of the extreme-value index is proposed and its asymptotic normality is established under mild assumptions.A simulation study is conducted to assess the finite-sample behavior of the proposed estimator. An application to ambulatory blood pressure trajectories and clinical outcome in stroke patients is also provided.

In design systems for digital VLSI (very large integrated circuits), the BDD is used for VLSI verification, as well as for technologically independent optimization, performed as the first stage in the synthesis of logic circuits in various technological bases. BDD is an acyclic graph defining a Boolean function or a system of Boolean functions. Each vertex of this graph corresponds to the complete or reduced Shannon expansion formula. Having constructed BDD representation for systems of Boolean functions, it is possible to perform additional logical optimization based on the proposed method of searching for algebraic representations of cofactors (subfunctions) of the same BDD level in the form of a disjunction or conjunction of other cofactors of this BDD level. The method allows to reduce the number of literals by replacing the Shannon expansion formulas with simpler formulas that are disjunctions or conjunctions of cofactors, and to reduce the number of literals in specifying a system of Boolean functions. The number of literals in algebraic multilevel representations of systems of fully defined Boolean functions is the main optimization criterion in the synthesis of combinational circuits from library logic gates.

The paper considers multiple object tracking. Existing methods tend to be either resource-intensive or prone to high object densities errors failing to provide competitive performance at high frame rates without significant tracking disruptions and error accumulation. We formulate the multiple object tracking problem under the assumption of linearity and independence of the movement of objects. The factorization of the posterior distribution of objects' parameters provides proof of the equivalence of the initial problem and the tracking procedure containing two subtasks: track prediction and assignment of measurements and objects. A modification of the assignment cost is introduced to achieve the stability of assignments in challenging scenarios of tracking, such as multiple objects occlusions and missing detections. We consider adding a term that states to re-identification of the candidate by comparing its descriptor with descriptors from the track history. Given that track measurements are not equal in terms of usefulness for re-identification, we introduce the technique of track descriptor pre-filtering based on quality assessment in order to select the most relevant descriptors for re-identification and reduce method algorithmic complexity. Both known quality assessment methods and an alternative detector-based approach are taken into account. Computational experiments were conducted on MOT20-01, MOT20-02 datasets containing CCTVcameras data in order to compare the proposed method with other approaches. The results showed the computational efficiency of the proposed methods and the increased stability of tracking in complex scenarios.

The article is devoted to identifying ways to improve the implementation of corporate culture tools in the formation of student's professional
identity in higher education. Theoretical analysis of the categories "corporate culture of free economic zone", "professional identity of a student" is
carried out; a description of the relationship between the corporate culture of free economic education and the formation of professional identity of
students in the learning process is given. It is determined that corporate culture is not only an important tool for educating students at university, but
also a means of creating opportunities for personal development strategy in higher education. On the basis of the conducted experimental research
among 4th year undergraduate and 2nd year master's students of Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv (areas of training: social pedagogy,
psychology, political science, social rehabilitation, philosophy, software engineering, cybernetics) some problems in the process of corporate culture
formation were identified and possible ways to solve them were described. The results of the survey, in particular, show that student's professional
identity is formed under the influence of many factors and is not limited to obtaining a degree in higher education, respondents assess existing
problems of professional identity, pedagogical conditions of successful self-knowledge and self-seeking to ensure professionalism. prevention of
negative manifestations of their personality (disinterest in the learning process, low performance, etc.). In terms of corporate culture, a professional
identity is formed, which is based on the personal development strategy of the student and involves its development as a key competence in the
learning process through the use of modern information and communication technologies (including coaching and others).

Published: August 2021

Background. Representatives of complex coordination sports are most susceptible to psychoemotional stress, since they demonstrate high sports results already at a young age. The tightening of anti-doping control has significantly reduced the possibility of using pharmacological and biologically active drugs to speed up the recovery of athletes. Against this background, in sports medicine, more attention is paid to the use of non-drug methods to improve performance and recovery in athletes. Aim to study the efficiency of the introduction of whole-body cryotherapy in the training process of female athletes of complex coordination sports (for example, group gymnastics) to increase stress resistance and reduce violations of adaptation processes as a result of neuropsychiatric overstrain. Materials and methods. During the academic-training year, 22 gymnasts received six ten-day courses of whole-body cryotherapy in the ICEQUEEN cryosauna. 19 athletes were included in the control group. The studies were conducted 3 times: before the start of the procedures, after the first course of procedures, at the end of the training year. The diagnosis of nocturnal bruxism and the definition of the psychological component of health were carried out. Total and effective albumin concentrations were determined in the blood serum with the calculation of the albumin binding reserve, helper T-lymphocytes and killer T-lymphocytes with the calculation of the immunoregulatory index. Results. After one course, there was an increase in the functional activity of serum albumins, a decrease in the number of episodes of involuntary contractions of the masticatory muscles at night, and an increase in the psychological component of health according to SF-36. After six courses of cryotherapy, the functional activity of serum albumins and the initial values of the immunoregulatory index were preserved by the end of the season, and the psychological component of health according to SF-36 was increased, while these indicators decreased in the control group. There was also a decrease in the number of episodes of involuntary contractions of the masticatory muscles at night with an increase in their number in the control group of female athletes. Conclusions. Considering the obtained results, it is possible to recommend the use of whole-body cryotherapy in gymnasts during the preparatory and recovery periods of the annual training cycle in order to increase stress tolerance and prevent psychoemotional overstrain.
Differences in radiotherapy application according to regional disease characteristics of hepatocellular carcinoma
Authors: Rim Chai Hong
Published: August 2021

There are differences in opinion regarding the application of external beam radiotherapy in the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma. Some major guidelines state that external beam radiotherapy is yet to attain a sufficient level of evidence. However, caution should be exercised when attempting to understand the clinical need for external beam radiotherapy solely based on the level of evidence. Previously, external beam radiotherapy had low applicability in the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma before computed tomography-based planning was popularized. Modern external beam radiotherapy can selectively target tumor cells while sparing normal liver tissues. Recent technologies such as stereotactic body radiotherapy have enabled more precise treatment. The characteristics of hepatocellular carcinoma differ significantly according to the regional etiology. The main cause of hepatocellular carcinoma is the hepatitis B virus. It is commonly diagnosed as a locally advanced tumor but with relatively preserved hepatic function. The majority of these hepatocellular carcinoma cases are found in the East Asian population. Hepatocellular carcinoma caused by hepatitis C virus or other benign hepatitis tends to be diagnosed as a less locally aggressive tumor but with deteriorated liver function. The Western world and Japan tend to have patients with such causes. External beam radiotherapy has been more commonly performed for the former, although the use of external beam radiotherapy in the latter might have more concerns with regard to hepatic toxicity. This review discusses the above subjects along with perspectives regarding external beam radiotherapy in recent guidelines.

Introduction Periarticular injuries in children include types I and II fractures according to the Salter-Harris classification and metaphyseal fractures. In most cases, conservative treatment is an effective method, but in some cases, surgical treatment, including external fixation, is the method of choice. Purpose Discussion of the principles of using the Ilizarov apparatus in the treatment of children with periarticular fractures of various locations, its advantages and disadvantages. Materials and methods We present the principles and features of the Ilizarov surgical techniques for treatment of children with periarticular fractures of the distal humerus, femur, radius and tibia. Discussion The methods of osteosynthesis for pediatric periarticular fractures imply transphyseal introduction of fixators that have a potential threat of iatrogenic damage to the growth plate in contrast to external fixation which performance implies that transosseous elements do not injure the growth zone, providing stable fixation of bone fragments in combination with early functional recovery of the damaged segment which is a key advantage over other methods. Conclusion The use of the Ilizarov apparatus enables to achieve the desired result in the treatment of pediatric periarticular fractures and has a number of advantages over other methods of surgical treatment.

Introduction Spinal deformity is one of major orthopaedic manifestations of cerebral palsy (CP). Despite the prevalence of the nosologic condition there is a deficiency in the availability of criteria for screening and management of the spinal pathology in CP patients, difficulties in interdisciplinary logistics, lack of registry and restraints in the continuity of the rehabilitation system. The purpose of the work was to focus the attention of mainstream audience of dedicated experts on the aspects of the course and correction techniques of spinal deformities in CP patients. Evidence level 5 (UK Oxford, version 2011). Results The type of spinal deformity depends on the functional level classified with the GMFCS. Vertebral evaluation included identification of the leading component of the deformity, apex location, mobility, trunk balance, chest deformity, type of pelvic obliquity, the way contractures and dislocation of the femoral heads affected the lumbar spine mobility. The goal of spinal deformity correction in CP patients is to maintain or improve the functionality of the patients, improve the quality of life for the patient and the family. The use of transpedicular multi-support fixation systems and bone allografts can be recommended for bone fusion in the patients. Spinal fixation can be extended from the upper thoracic vertebrae down to the pelvis. Dynamic fixation systems, multilevel or multi-rod fixation can be an option depending on the age, extent of the maturity of the axial skeleton and size of the curve. Conclusion The severity of manifestations of spinal deformity increases in CP patients with greater level of global motor functions and does not depend on the skeletal maturity. Conservative treatment is ineffective at a long term. Correction and instrumentation transpedicular fixation allows for threedimensional correction without the need for anterior fusion. Surgical treatment significantly improves body balance, functional level and quality of life.

Published: August 2021

Background: Schizophrenia is a psychiatric disorder encompassing multiple etiological variables. Association of dermatoglyphic traits with schizophrenia has been observed and reported. This study was undertaken to evaluate epidermal ridge patterns in patients of schizophrenia as compared to healthy controls attending a superspeciality hospital in West Bengal. Establishing dermatoglyphic parameters as biomarkers for early diagnosis will ensure prompt intervention and a greater scope of recovery in schizophrenia and thus promote a better quality of life for the individual as well as lower the burden of disease for the society.Methods: Quantitative dermatoglyphic parameters namely, total finger ridge count (TFRC), total A-B ridge count (TABRC) and ATD angle of 50 schizophrenia patients were compared to 50 age and gender matched healthy controls.Results: TFRC and TABRC were found to be decreased in schizophrenia, while ATD angle was increased in schizophrenia as compared to the control group.Conclusions: This study found a significant association between dermatoglyphic pattern anomalies and the development of schizophrenia. This may offer a scope of primordial prevention of schizophrenia in future, utilising dermatoglyphics as an investigative tool.
Testicular lymphoma in inguinal hernia

Published: August 2021

Primary testicular lymphoma is a rare disease that has a higher incidence in patients over 60 years of age, presenting as an increase in volume in the inguinal region, which is usually painless and slow-growing. In the case that we present, it is a patient who was initially diagnosed with an indirect inguinal hernia due to the findings on examination and ultrasound, without presenting relevant findings in the laboratory studies, during the trans-operative we found testicular tumor compatible with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, this being the most common variant of testicular lymphoma. This case emphasizes on importance of pre-operative suspicion in older age patients with increased volume in the groin region and without a clear diagnosis.

Published: August 2021

Background: Male breast cancer (MBC) is an uncommon malignancy accounting for <1% of all cancers in men and <1 % of overall breast cancer cases. Although there are many similarities between MBC and female breast cancer (FBC), they are not identical in clinical behaviour. There is need to understand the exact biological behavior of MBC.Methods: A retrospective observational study was done at State Cancer Institute, IGIMS, Patna which included all MBC patients registered during a 5-year study period (January 2016 to April 2021). 16 consecutive cases of MBC were identified and their detailed clinicopathological profile was analyzed.Results: MBC accounted for 1.10% of the total breast cancer cases. The median age of presentation was 58 years. Most common presentation was lump. Invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC) was most common histology. Majority of the patient presented to us in advanced stage. Estrogen receptor (ER)/progesterone receptor (PR) status was found to be positive in 12 patients. HER-2/neu receptor was positive in 4 patients. 2 patients had triple negative disease (TNBC) status. Surgery in the form of modified radical mastectomy (MRM) was done in 10 patients. All patients received adjuvant therapy as per NCCN guidelines.Conclusions: MBC is rare disease presenting at a relatively early age in Indian male patients. Most of them have positive ER/PR status. As outcomes have not improved comparatively, there is a need to evolve separate guidelines for MBC.

Published: August 2021

Background: Doctors are particularly vulnerable to financial problems because of their unsatisfactory levels of financial knowledge and the lack of awareness in terms of investments. This study aimed to evaluate financial knowledge, attitude and investment practices among Indian doctors.Methods: An online questionnaire based cross-sectional study was conducted across 286 registered Indian medical practitioners (N=286). The data was collected by a pre-validated online questionnaire. The financial knowledge score was calculated using 4 questions to determine financial knowledge. The attitude was assessed using responses to 4 questions on investment using Likert scale. Financial practices were determined using responses to their preferred investment options. Data was analyzed using non-parametric tests (Kruskal Wallis test, median value), Chi-square test and Pearson’s coefficient.Results: It was found that male doctors had higher financial knowledge as compared to female doctors (p=0.011). Financial knowledge was significantly associated with the age (p≤0.0001) of the study population. The influence of the nature of employment over the financial attitude of Indian doctors was statistically significant (p=0.009). A statistically significant association was seen between financial knowledge and financial practices (p=0.012).Conclusions: There is a need to create an optimal level of financial awareness among Indian doctors. Increasing the financial knowledge of doctors through financial awareness programs initially may have a positive implication on their financial practices later on.

El lago Guamués (LG) es considerado humedal Ramsar desde el 2000. Debido a su importancia, los ecosistemas lénticos como el LG requieren de programas de monitoreo que sobrepasen su cobertura espacial y temporal. En este estudio se demuestra que usar productos de reflectancia de superficie, generados por el sensor Modis, puede ser útil para verificar la dinámica espaciotemporal de la profundidad medida con el disco de Secchi (PDS), en el periodo 2001-2020. Para calibrar el modelo, se utilizó una imagen coincidente con los trabajos de campo realizados; se correlacionaron los datos de transparencia de la columna de agua medida con el disco de Secchi con los píxeles de la imagen captados en la banda centrada en los 858,5 nm. Para validar el modelo, se utilizó el método Leave out One Cross Validation (LOOCV). Así, se determinó que el modelo cuadrático presenta mejores resultados con un ajuste en su R2 = 0,74 y un error asociado a las observaciones inferior a los 0,013 m. El análisis espacial reveló que el LG presenta zonas localizadas en sus márgenes donde la PDS puede ser inferior a los 0,5 m. De la misma forma el promedio en su PDS para la imagen del 24 de abril es de 3,87 m. El análisis temporal del lago indica que en 2006-2008 y 2017-2020, se ha presentado mayor variabilidad para los puntos observados, con valores de 3,3 y 2,8 m, respectivamente.

Published: August 2021

Вклад лабораторной диагностики в оптимальное ведение пациентов, страдающих сердечно-сосудистыми заболеваниями бесспорен. Методы лабораторной диагностики постоянно развиваются и открываются новые биомаркеры, которые улучшают диагностику сердечно-сосудистых заболеваний. Среди биомаркеров сердечно-сосудистых заболеваний ключевую роль играют сердечные тропонины, которые отличаются высокой чувствительностью и специфичностью. В статье рассмотрены возможности использования и диагностическая ценность сердечных тропонинов, определяемых современными высокочувствительными иммунологическими анализами. Также подробно обсуждается возможность использования сердечных тропонинов в качестве биомаркеров для оценки сердечнососудистого риска в здоровой популяции.

Published: August 2021

На основе адаптивного байесова подхода синтезирована общая структура алгоритма обнаружения на оптическом изображении (ОИ) звѐздного неба треков удалѐнных движущихся объектов (ДО) с одновременной оценкой их координатных параметров в экранной системе координат. ОИ формируются в наземных телескопах при наличии сложного неоднородного фона, вероятностное описание которого неизвестно. Структура алгоритма адаптируется к реальным условиям регистрации ОИ. Синтезируется робастный алгоритм разбиения исходного ОИ на совокупность ОИ с однородным нормальным распределением интенсивности фона с одновременной оценкой параметров распределения. В каждой выделенной области синтезируются алгоритм выделения ОИ ярких звезд с оценкой структуры однородной функции рассеяния точки (ФРТ) в системе источник-атмосфера-приѐмник, а также робастный алгоритм выделения треков ДО с одновременной оценкой их параметров при использованиии преобразования Радона. Исходное ОИ представляется совокупностью пороговых булевых матриц. В основу выделения возможных треков положен процесс факторизации значимых элементов булевых матриц и рекуррентная робастная процедура оценки параметров треков. Окончательное решение о выделении трека в локальной области ОИ принимается с использованием критерия минимального значения допустимой вероятности ложного обнаружения трека. Приводится пример обработки ОИ, полученного в реальных условиях.
