The Legal Effect of Appointment and Possession of a Receiver Over the Property of a Company
Authors: Otu Michael Takim , Nabiebu Miebaka
Published: April 2023

A receiver in an action is an impartial person appointed by the court to collect and receive, pending the proceedings, the rents, issues, and profits of land or personal estate that it does not seem reasonable to the court that either party should collect or receive, or to enable the same to be distributed among the persons entitled. The appointment of a receiver does not in any way affect the right to the property over which he is appointed. The court takes possession of its receiver, and his possession is that of all parties to the action according to their titles. The receiver does not collect the rents and profits by virtue of any estate vested in him but by virtue of his position as an officer of the court appointed to collect property upon the title of the parties to the action. In the case of a fixed or floating charge, receivers and managers are appointed either by the court or by the debenture holders. In this article, we shall examine the legal effects of the appointment of a receiver by the court and out-of-court systems over the property of a company. This research is carried out using textual and contextual analysis.

Authors: Ihwighwu Jonathan Ovie , Ottuh Peter. O. O.
Published: April 2023

The study focuses on the ethico-religious assessment of the pastors who worked for the Nigerian Baptist Convention (NBC) and having retirement dilemma. All Baptist associations in the Ethiope-Delta Baptist Conference are included in the sampled study population. The Ethiope-Delta Baptist Conference serves Okpe, Sapele, Ughelli North, Warri North, Ethiope-East, and Ethiope-West local government areas in Delta State. In these six local government units, which are dispersed over numerous towns and cities in the aforementioned territories, there are over 226 Baptist churches and 11 Baptist Associations. The study included both qualitative and quantitative methods of inquiry. Expository, evaluative, phenomenological, and critical-analytical techniques are also used in this study. The above methods used in this study make it possible to fully evaluate the relevance, significance, and application of ethico-religious arguments about Baptist pastors’ pre-retirement and their situations in the study area. To substantiate these claims, both primary and secondary sources are also employed. The data for the study were gathered using the phenomenological approach, participant observation, and questionnaires. The research as well as the discussion in this research fall under two main topics: Baptist pastors’ pre-retirement challenges and ethical-religious responses to retired pastors’ dilemmas. According to the study, pastors’ pre-retirement issues are most prevalent in rural Baptist churches. The study also found that, despite the NBC’s goal of ensuring quick payment of pastors’ retirement benefit premiums, churches do not fully cooperate in terms of making their corresponding percentage contributions.

Enhancer of zeste homolog 2 (EZH2) is the lysine methyltransferase of polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2) that catalyzes H3K27 tri-methylation. Aberrant expression and loss-of-function mutations of EZH2 have been demonstrated to be tightly associated with the pathogenesis of various myeloid malignancies characterized by ineffective erythropoiesis, such as myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). However, the function and mechanism of EZH2 in human erythropoiesis still remains largely unknown. Here, we demonstrated that EZH2 regulates human erythropoiesis in a stage-specific, dual-function manner by catalyzing histone and non-histone methylation. During the early erythropoiesis, EZH2 deficiency caused cell cycle arrest in the G1 phase, which impaired cell growth and differentiation. ChIP-seq and RNA-seq discovered that EZH2 knockdown caused a reduction of H3K27me3 and upregulation of cell cycle protein-dependent kinase inhibitors. In contrast, EZH2 deficiency led to the generation of abnormal nuclear cells and impaired enucleation during the terminal erythropoiesis. Interestingly, EZH2 deficiency downregulated the methylation of HSP70 by directly interacting with HSP70. RNA-seq analysis revealed that the expression of AURKB was significantly downregulated in response to EZH2 deficiency. Furthermore, treatment with an AURKB inhibitor and shRNA-mediated AURKB knockdown also led to nuclear malformation and decreased enucleation efficiency. These findings strongly suggest that EZH2 regulates terminal erythropoiesis through a HSP70 methylation-AURKB axis. Our findings have implications for improved understanding of ineffective erythropoiesis with EZH2 dysfunction.
Circular Economy for Sustainable Communities and Lifestyles: The Wisdom of the Jomon People across 10,000 Years of Time and Space
Authors: Yamaoka Yasuyuki
Published: April 2023

In this paper, the value of Japan's ancient 10,000-year-long Jomon culture is re-explored. They lived a cooperative lifestyle rather than depriving the other side of resources in inter-tribal conflicts. They also did not oppress nature, but received the minimum resources necessary for the people of the village to survive from nature, which changed from season to season. Previous studies have dismissed the lack of organised agriculture as pre-civilisational, and it has been assumed that they made their living by hunting animals and gathering nuts. However, the use of storage warehouses showed that they had established a balance between planned food gathering and consumption. The lack of organised agriculture was rather an excellent system that did not create classes in the social structure. It is astonishing that the Jomon people were already implementing the ideas that form the basis of the modern SDGs. Across time and space, modern people should humbly learn from the Jomon people.

Authors: Lopes Andrade Camila , Piffer Carla
Published: April 2023

Os estudos acerca do Liberalismo de Adam Smith arraigaram o conceito de Estado mínimo e livre comércio. Simultaneamente ao processo de abertura de mercados, exsurge a necessidade de aperfeiçoamento do ordenamento normativo do comércio internacional, sobretudo após o término das Guerras Mundiais. Partindo desse cenário de conflitos internacionais do comércio, em 1948, criou-se a General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade como documento complementar da Carta de Havanna, que por meio das Rodadas de negociação regulamentou a prática do Dumping, ao qual foi inserida doutrinariamente a modalidade do Dumping social. O objetivo deste trabalho é a análise da utilização da mão de obra migrante, mediante o esvaziamento dos direitos do trabalhador, como forma de alcance de melhor competitividade no mercado internacional e eventual configuração da prática de Dumping social. Quanto a metodologia utilizou-se na fase investigativa o método indutivo, na fase de tratamento de dados o método cartesiano, e no relatório dos resultados foi utilizada a base lógica indutiva.

Abstract
Studies on Adam Smith's liberalism rooted in the concept of a minimal state and free trade. Simultaneously with the market opening process, there is a need to improve the normative order of international trade, especially after the end of the World Wars. Based on the scenario of international trade conflicts, in 1948, the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade was created as a complementary document to the Havana Charter, which, through negotiation rounds, regulated the practice of Dumping, to which it was routinely inserted as a form of social dumping. The objective of this work is to analyze the use of immigrant labor, through the deviation of worker's rights, as a way of achieving better competitiveness in the international market and eventual configuration of the practice of social dumping. As for the methodology used in the investigative phase or inductive method, in the data processing phase or Cartesian method, and not reporting two results, the inductive logic base and the inductive logic base were used in the report of the results.

Published: April 2023

We estimated the prevalence of screening for prostate cancer in indigenous people in Brazil. We also studied how ethnicity, age, social conditions, lifestyle, and history of sexually transmitted infections are associated with altered prostate-specific antigen (PSA) values. This is a cross-sectional study with indigenous people, ≥ 40 years old, from Dourados reserve, Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil. The patients underwent total PSA and rapid tests for syphilis, HIV, and hepatitis B and C. PSA values were compared with sociodemographic conditions, presence of urological symptoms, clinical data on sexually transmitted infections, lifestyle, and family history of cancer. Out of the 498 men invited to participate in the study, 31.53% (157/498) were ≥ 40 years old and were included. The mean (±SD) age was 54.75 (±11.23) years, and 78.3% (123/157; 95% CI: 0.71–0.84) of the population never underwent any preventive examination for prostate cancer. The mean PSA value was 0.081 ng/mL for the 157 participants, and 4.4% (7/157) had > 2.5 ng/mL and 1.9% (3/157) had values ≥ 4 ng/mL. Rapid tests for STIs showed that 5.73% (9/157) of the participants had syphilis and 0.64% (1/157) had HIV, and Hepatitis B and C virus infection. The results showed that most indigenous people ≥ 40 years never underwent any preventive examination for prostate cancer, and 4.4% had an altered PSA exam result. Future studies should assess the factors that hinder adherence to prostate cancer screening, as well as the existence of a pathophysiological correlation between the occurrence of prostate cancer and STIs.

Este artigo teve como objetivo realizar uma análise dos impactos da pandemia de Covid-19 na vida dos agricultores e produtores familiares brasileiros. O método utilizado foi uma revisão bibliográfica. Para a busca dos trabalhos, foram usados descritores de maneira a abranger aspectos relacionados às dimensões produção, renda familiar, crédito e auxílio emergencial. Os resultados desse estudo mostram que a pandemia impactou negativamente os pequenos produtores rurais de forma multidimensional: produção, renda e crédito. De maneira geral, pode-se constatar que o setor da produção familiar e da comercialização agropecuária foram muito afetados, havendo perdas econômicas expressivas, muito mais intensas nas famílias mais vulneráveis. Como alternativa para superar a dificuldade de comercialização imposta pela pandemia, os agricultores buscaram novos mercados para continuar a atender aos consumidores e escoar a produção que se encontra parada. Em relação aos impactos no crédito, as divididas dos produtores e agricultores familiares foram prorrogadas, contudo o maior impacto foi nos juros cobrados no Pronaf e o montante disponível para crédito muito inferior ao destinado aos grandes produtores. Infelizmente, sabe-se que, independentemente da pandemia, os agricultores familiares não têm alto reconhecimento no Brasil frente às políticas públicas, como se observa em diversas análises, sejam elas sociais, estatísticas, jurídicas e até mesmo econômicas. Somado a isso, existem recentes movimentações de cunho político que visam aprofundar ainda mais os seus obstáculos.

O acompanhamento do crescimento e desenvolvimento infantil são baseados na avaliação antropométrica na puericultura e comparação com os gráficos desenvolvidos pela Organização Mundial da Saúde, as Curvas de Crescimento. Dessa forma, é possível avaliar várias questões, incluindo a presença de doenças que podem afetar as crianças, como subnutrição e obesidade. Esta pesquisa busca comparar a Curva de Crescimento obtida pelos dados do Município de Cascavel em crianças de 0 a 2 anos com os parâmetros determinados pela Organização Mundial da Saúde. De forma geral, pode-se aferir que este Município Brasileiro apresenta taxas de crescimento próximas às ideais quando comparadas com as Curvas de Crescimento da OMS, e que o padrão de peso e comprimento se reflete entre as meninas e os meninos. No entanto, nota-se também que o sexo masculino tem uma porcentagem ligeiramente menor de achados que ultrapassam o limite superior (Percentil 97) e o limite inferior (Percentil 3) em todos os gráficos. Portanto, conclui-se que as crianças da região analisada e dentro da faixa etária proposta possuem crescimento de peso e comprimento adequados, principalmente entre as do sexo feminino.

Published: April 2023

A trombose venosa profunda é uma importante causa de morbimortalidade no mundo, principalmente no âmbito intra-hospitalar, justificando seu tratamento e também profilaxia quando necessário. Os métodos de indução de trombose venosa profunda em animais são fundamentais para o estudo da fisiopatologia da doença, assim como para testes de drogas antitrombóticas. Os objetivos do trabalho foram avaliar e comparar dois métodos de indução de trombose venosa profunda em ratos: o modelo por estase venosa, amplamente descrito na literatura, e o modelo por lesão endotelial, com poucos estudos, principalmente em ratos. Foram usados ratos machos Wistar para indução da trombose venosa profunda. Para estase foi dissecada e ligada a veia cava inferior por 3 horas e após retirado o segmento com a veia contendo o trombo. Para o modelo de lesão endotelial, foi aplicado por 1 minuto um pedaço de papel filtro embebido em FeCl3 e avaliado o segmento após 1 hora. Em ambos os modelos foram avaliados o peso úmido e a área de oclusão. Para o peso úmido obteve-se comparando os métodos de lesão endotelial e estase respectivamente: 17,7mg (±3,0mg) vs. 2.34mg (±1,8mg) com P<0,001. Para a área de oclusão obteve-se comparando os métodos de lesão endotelial e estase respectivamente: 85,11% (±9,67%) vs. 40,83% (±33,14%), com P<0,05. Em todas as variáveis o método de lesão endotelial possuiu resultados superiores ao método de estase venosa, mostrando ser mais reprodutível.

This in vitro study aimed to evaluate the effect of toothbrushing simulated test on wear and roughness of different low-viscosity resin composite, as well as the polymerization shrinkage stress. Thirty rectangular specimens (5 × 10 × 3 mm) were prepared and assigned into three different low-viscosity resin composites (n=10): Filtek flow Z350 (Z350); NanovaPro fill (Nanova), and SureFil SDR Flow (SDR). The specimens were brushed for 100.000 cycles using a toothbrushing testing machine with soft bristle tips (Colgate Classic, Colgate-Palmolive Co., Osasco, Sao Paulo, Brazil) and dentifrice suspension (Colgate MFP, Colgate-Palmolive Co.) in deionized water under a 300 g load. The surface roughness (Ra) (n=10) (before and after brushing) and wear (mm) (n=10) were measured by roughness tester. Also, the microhardness (KHN) (n=5) and shrinkage stress (MPa) (n=5) were evaluated. Data were analyzed by one-way for wear, microhardness and shrinkage stress data and two-way for roughness ANOVA and Tukey test (α = 0.05). The Nanova group presented higher final roughness (1.79±0.36) (p < 0.031), wear (13.87±3.26) (p <0.001) and microhardness (52.56±1.7) than the other groups (p < 0.006). For tensile test, all materials showed no difference in relation to shrinkage stress (p= 0.468). The Nanova group showed higher wear and roughness than the other groups. SDR and Z350 were statistically more resistant to wear.

Os dentes permanentes imaturos com quadro de necrose pulpar ainda hoje são um grande desafio para a endodontia. Tradicionalmente estes casos eram tratados através de apicificação com uso de hidróxido de cálcio, no entanto este tratamento era longo e provocava a fragilização das raízes dentais. Nos últimos anos, através de muitas pesquisas, surgiu a opção de revascularização pulpar. Este trabalho objetiva elaborar um aglomerado informacional acerca da técnica de revascularização pulpar, o qual poderá servir como base tanto para acadêmicos quanto para profissionais da área odontológica. Para o desenvolvimento deste trabalho foi realizada uma revisão narrativa da literatura utilizando como base bibliográfica artigos científicos acerca do tema proposto, publicados no período de 2000 a 2022, disponíveis nos bancos de dados online BVSalud, PUBMed, Lilacs, Scielo e Google Acadêmicos, estes encontram-se apresentados nas línguas portuguesa e inglesa. Ao final deste trabalho, foi possível concluir que atualmente a técnica de revascularização pulpar é eficiente no tratamento de dentes permanentes imaturos com quadro de necrose pulpar. Ainda hoje não existe um protocolo único considerado ideal, são encontrados diversos protocolos na literatura demonstrando resultados positivos.
Response to drift kelp is modified by both substratum and season: green sea urchin foraging behaviour in subsidized habitats
Authors: MacGregor KA , Johnson LE
Published: April 2023

The ability of organisms to detect, locate and navigate to resource patches is modified by the surrounding landscape. Green sea urchinsStrongylocentrotus droebachiensisin barren grounds exist in a food-limited state and are subject to intense competition. Rapid detection and consumption of resource patches, particularly pieces of macroalgae from adjacent algal beds, are key in determining individual growth, survival and reproductive success. Detection and movement to resource patches requires moving through a heterogeneous benthic seascape composed of rocky and sandy patches, presenting different degrees of resistance to movement. We used time-lapse photography to describe the foraging behaviour of urchins in relation to the presence of a key resource subsidy (drift kelp) and different benthic seascapes. We demonstrated that urchins could detect the presence of drift kelp in barren-ground habitats and alter their movement behaviour in response, but did not exhibit the ability to directionally navigate towards kelp in field conditions. Seascapes with increased proportions of rocky substrata facilitated increased movement in response to the presence of drift. Moreover, urchin foraging behaviour was temporally variable, with no response to the presence of drift in early spring (May). This indicates not only that interpretations of observations of urchin behaviour must take intrinsic and extrinsic seasonal dynamics into account, but that extrapolating results to explain larger-scale patterns and processes must include both spatially explicit subtidal seascapes and temporal dynamics. In many temperate and boreal regions, this indicates the need for increased subtidal benthic research in the fall and winter.
e-Exercise Low Back Pain
Authors:   , Koppenaal Tjarco
Published: April 2023

Nonspecific low back pain (LBP) is a leading contributor to disability-adjusted life years worldwide, and its socioeconomic burden is enormous. Self-management support tailored to the needs and abilities of individual patients is an important recommendation in clinical guidelines for physiotherapy treatment of patients with LBP and may support cost-effective management of LBP. However, providing adequate individually tailored self-management support is difficult. The integration of online applications in face-to-face care, i.e., blended care, seems to be promising to optimize tailored treatment and enhance patients’ self-management and consequently may reduce LBP-related costs.
The general aim of this thesis was to evaluate the results of the use of e-Exercise low back pain, a stratified blended physiotherapy intervention, in daily physiotherapy practice and to describe its effect on clinical and economic outcome measures.
The results showed that e-Exercise low back pain was not more effective, nor more cost-effective, compared to face-to-face physiotherapy in patients with nonspecific LBP. The results of our e-Exercise low back pain trial show that integrating an app within face-to-face physiotherapy can help to support patients’ adherence to prescribed management in the home setting where good management of nonspecific LBP is essential. From that perspective, the integration of an app within face-to-face physiotherapy can be useful to reveal patients’ behaviour regarding the management of their nonspecific LBP and can subsequently help a physiotherapist guide further management. However, further refinement is needed before the implementation of e-Exercise low back pain in clinical physiotherapy practice as a complement to face-to-face physiotherapy can be considered.
K-means cluster analysis of hourly measured power demand in the district heating system in Kaposvár : Putting theoretical figures into practical use
Authors: Radtke Uwe
Published: April 2023

Within this paper the actual cluster analysis is performed in order to identify the clusters within the Kaposvár district heating. The data was measured not directly at the households but at the heat transfer stations. The smart meters were installed at the heat transfer stations for several reasons, not to measure and control the needed supply temperature but also to identify leakages quicker and easier. The method used is k-means which at the end did determine four different clusters: high demand at low operating hours, high demand at long operating hours as well as low demand at high operating hours and low demand for low operating hours. The details and the determined values can be used for further research and already first further steps towards identifying new heat sources.

As one of the oldest forms of tourism, domestic tourism remains vital for any destination especially in this post Covid-19 era when tourists are extremely sensitive to cross-border travel. Therefore, an understanding of how marketing communication channels affect the motivation, consumption behavior and satisfaction of domestic tourists is crucial in promoting this form of tourism. This study aims to investigate the influence of marketing communication channels on the motivations, consumption behavior and satisfaction of domestic tourists visiting Machakos People’s Park, in Kenya. To achieve this, a survey was conducted on a sample of 258 domestic tourists visiting Machakos People’s Park. Quantitative data was collected through a structured questionnaire and analyzed by descriptive and inferential statistics using SPSS software. Explorative factor analysis was performed to distinguish the push and pull motivation factors, and descriptive measures were determined. Thereafter, cross-tabulation and chi-square determination were performed to test the associations between marketing communication channels and the other variables in the study. An alpha level of .05 was used for these statistical tests. The findings revealed that marketing communication channels had a significant influence only on the consumption behavior of domestic tourists but not on their motivations and satisfaction. These findings are instrumental for the marketing communication and management of Machakos People’s Park, and similar domestic tourist destinations.

Published: April 2023

Premature ejaculation is a very common male sexual medical illness worldwide. Amongst several biological risk factors, the disturbance of central serotonin neurotransmission is one important cause. Various research has allowed a better understanding of the development of this disorder, as well as allowing for improved treatment options in order to decrease the significant morbidity associated with this condition; among the more recent treatments, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors are believed to be one of the best. During this review, the action and role of serotonin reuptake inhibitors at different levels will be discussed, along with their relevance and effectiveness in the treatment of premature ejaculation.
Nocturia: What Do We Need to Know in 2017? Identifying the Cause and Tailoring the Treatment
Authors: Fricker Janet
Published: April 2023

The theme of the symposium was the London tube, which is famous for the expression ‘Mind the gap’; the symposium theme was tweaked to ‘Mind the debate’ with three debates that focussed on gaps in understanding of nocturia. Nocturia is a multifactorial medical condition with several components including nocturnal polyuria, reduced bladder capacity, and sleep disorders. Nocturia can be caused by comorbidities such as heart failure, diabetes mellitus, and sleep apnoea. The debate discussed that nocturia is a highly prevalent medical condition that increases with age and affects both men and women. Nocturia disturbs sleep and can seriously affect a patient’s quality of life. The condition also increases mortality by making patients more prone to falls and to fracture the head of the femur. Nocturia results in poor concentration at work and can lead to a loss of productivity. Assessments for nocturia were considered including frequency volume charts (FVC), urine albumin to creatinine ratios, peripheral oedema examinations, bladder diaries, and ultrasound testing. One treatment for nocturia has been desmopressin, but the risks of hyponatraemia have led to a reluctance to prescribe, especially in populations aged >65 years, who are at particular risk if treated with too high a dose. Recently NOCDURNA®, a gender-specific low-dose oral lyophylisate formulation of desmopressin, has been developed (50 µg/day in men and 25 µg/day in women). At these low doses desmopressin was shown to be effective and well-tolerated in two Phase III trials and to provide rapid and sustained improvements in nocturia and quality of life. The formulation is suitable for individuals >65 years old, but the advice is that they require sodium monitoring before initiating the treatment, in the first week of treatment (4-8 days) and again at one month after treatment initiation.
