Édouard Glissant e João Guimarães Rosa: encontro de escritas, linhas de fuga
Authors: Groke Henrique de Toledo
Published: May 2021

Trata-se aqui de uma aproximação entre noções desenvolvidas pelo filósofo martinicano Édouard Glissant (1928-2011) em alguns de seus ensaios e o romance Grande sertão: veredas (1956) de João Guimarães Rosa (1908-1967), escritor brasileiro. Pretendi identificar algumas ressonâncias entre a escrita de ambos considerando as extrapolações de seus gêneros ‘originais”, ficção e ensaio, e como imbricam ética e estética.

A visada do contemporâneo sobre a tradição: uma troca de olhares
Authors: Paiva Roberta Kelly
Published: May 2021

Pensar as tendências dos estudos contemporâneos sobre literatura implica, entre outras coisas, pensar o próprio conceito de contemporaneidade. Isto é, implica refletir sobre sua constituição histórica, características, preceitos teóricos e sua configuração na literatura. Em uma palavra, e por mais paradoxal que possa parecer, implica também pensar a tradição. É a essa reflexão teórica que convidamos o leitor.
Língua, literatura e teoria em Georges Perec
Authors: Fux Jacques , Lee Henrique
Published: May 2021

O presente artigo aborda algumas relações possíveis entre espaço e literatura na obra do escritor francês Georges Perec, da qual se toma como ponto de referência primordial o livro Espèces d’espaces, publicado em 1974. A partir desta obra – e de uma observação em sua contracapa, na versão em inglês, na qual afirma que esta se trata de uma obra não ficcional – procura-se refletir a respeito dos deslocamentos que a estrutura narrativa do texto propicia sobre o estatuto do ficcional.

Emergency Cardiac Surgery in Patients on Oral Anticoagulants and Antiplatelet Medications
Authors: Akhrass Rami , Gillinov A. Marc , Bakaeen Faisal , Akras Deena , Cameron Scott , Bishop Jay , Kapadia Samir , Svensson Lars
Published: May 2021

Emergency surgery, blood transfusion, and reoperation for bleeding have
been associated with increased operative morbidity and mortality. The
recent increased use of direct oral anticoagulants and antiplatelet
medications have made the above more challenging. In addition,
cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) with its associated hemodilution,
fibrinolysis and platelet consumption may exacerbate the pre-existing
coagulopathy and increase the risk of bleeding. Management decisions are
typically made on a case-by-case basis. Surgery is delayed when possible
and less invasive percutaneous options should be considered if feasible.
Attention is paid to exercising meticulous techniques, avoiding
excessive hypothermia and treating coexisting issues such as sepsis.
Ensuring a dry operative field upon entry by correcting the coagulopathy
with reversal agents is offset by the concern of potentially hindering
efforts to anticoagulate the patient (heparin resistance) in preparation
for CPB, in addition to possibly increasing the risk of thromboembolism.
Proper knowledge of the anticoagulants, their reversal agents, and the
usefulness of laboratory testing are all essential. Platelet transfusion
remains mainstay for antiplatelet medications. Four-factor prothrombin
complex concentrate is considered in patients on oral anticoagulants if
CPB needs to be instituted quickly. Specific reversal agents such as
idarucizumab and andexanet alfa can be considered if significant tissue
dissection is anticipated such as redo sternotomy, but are costly and
may lead to heparin resistance and anticoagulant rebound.
A Single Amino Acid at Position 158 in Hemagglutinin Affects the Antigenic Property of Eurasian Avian-like H1N1 Swine Influenza Viruses
Authors: Wang Zeng , Chen Yan , Chen Huayuan , Meng Fei , Tao Shiyu , Ma Shujie , Qiao Chuanling , Chen Hualan , yang huanliang
Published: May 2021

Influenza viruses have been posing a great threat to public health and
animal industry. The developed vaccines have been widely used to reduce
the risk of potential pandemic; however, the ongoing antigenic drift
makes influenza virus escape from host immune response and hampers
vaccine efficacy. Until now, the genetic basis of antigenic variation
remains largely unknown. In this study, we used A/swine/Guangxi/18/2011
(GX/18) and A/swine/Guangdong/104/2013 (GD/104) as models to explore the
molecular determinant for antigenic variation of Eurasian avian-like
H1N1 (EA H1N1) swine influenza viruses (SIVs), and found that the GD/104
virus exhibited 32~64-fold lower antigenic
cross-reactivity with antibodies against GX/18 virus. Therefore, we
generated polyclonal antibodies against GX/18 or GD/104 virus and a
monoclonal antibody (mAb), named mAb102-95, targeted to the
hemagglutinin (HA) protein of GX/18 virus, and found that a single amino
acid substitution at position 158 in HA protein substantially altered
the antigenicity of virus. The reactivity of GX/18 virus containing
G158E mutation with the mAb102-95 decreased 8-fold than that of the
parental strain. Contrarily, the reactivity of GD/104 virus bearing
E158G mutation with the mAb102-95 increased by 32 times as compared with
that of the parental virus. Structural analysis showed that the amino
acid mutation from G to E was accompanied with the R group changing from
-H to -(CH ) -COOH. The induced steric
effect and increased hydrophilicity of HA protein surface jointly
contributed to the antigenic drift of EA H1N1 SIVs. Our study provides
experimental evidence that G158E mutation in HA protein affects the
antigenic property of EA H1N1 SIVs, and widens our horizon on the
antigenic drift of influenza virus.

Authors: Sun Rong , Zheng Yarong , Xiao Xing
Published: May 2021

This article used three diversion power stations with different
operating years along Dicun stream of the source of Jiulong River to
study the riparian plant community and discussed the impact of power
station development on riparian plants. The results showed that:(1)There
were significant differences in the plant diversity of herbs, shrubs and
trees among all sample plots in the study area (P < 0.05).(2)
The species number of the second and third diversion power stations with
longer operation time was larger than that of the fourth diversion power
station with short operation time.(3) The water-borne plants were
concentrated in the herb layer in the influence area of the diversion
power station, and the Richness, Shannon- Wiener, Simpson and Pielou
indexes of water-borne plants in the study area were significantly
different (P < 0.05). (4) The appearance of diversion power
station leaded to the change of environmental factors, and the river
depth and flow rate had significant positive correlation with the
diversity index of riparian plants and water water-borne plants (P
< 0.05). In general, with the increase of the operation time
of the power station, the surrounding riparian plant will form a new

Authors: Rahaman Arafatur
Published: May 2021

Although COVID-19 prevention is effective through social management, long-term implementation of lockdown has resulted in unemployment, an economic downturn, disrupting casual social activities, and creating anarchy. It is difficult to answer the question “Health or Economy” directly, especially for developing countries like Bangladesh. The researcher’ tried to excavate how people responded with the misinformation and harmful aspects of improvident information on this pandemic accompanied by the economic crisis. The impending recession could be avoided by setting economic priority and effective policy response for the poor and vulnerable segment of the population. In this paper, the researcher used nethnography, shadow observation, and focus group discussion by video conferencing along with content analysis of print and electronic media to gain insights into the study. This paper will help governments and their partners to understand how the communities acted upon their communications and to prioritize contingency measures in crisis and post-crisis recession.

Method of integral equations in the polytropic theory of stars with axial rotation. I. Polytropes n=0 and n=1
Authors:   Ivan Franko National University of Lviv, Vavrukh M. V. , Dzikovskyi D. V. ,   Ivan Franko National University of Lviv
Published: May 2021

Calculations of characteristics of stars with axial rotation in the frame of polytropic model are based on the solution of mechanical equilibrium equation – differential equation of second order in partial derivatives. Different variants of approximate determinations of integration constants are based on traditional in the theory of stellar surface approximation, namely continuity of gravitational potential in the surface vicinity. We proposed a new approach, in which we used simultaneously differential and integral forms of equilibrium equations. This is a closed system and allows us to define in self-consistent way integration constants, the polytrope surface shape and distribution of matter over volume of a star. With the examples of polytropes n=0 and n=1, we established the existence of two rotation modes (with small and large eccentricities). It is proved that the polytrope surface is the surface of homogeneous rotational ellipsoid for the case n=0. The polytrope characteristics with n=1 in different approximations were calculated as the functions of angular velocity. For the first time it has been calculated the deviation of polytrope surface at fixed value of angular velocity from the surface of associated rotational ellipsoid.

Adenomyosis is a challenging clinical condition for women of reproductive age with both proven and speculated, major gynaecologic and obstetric consequences. We present the case of a woman who had adenomyosis of the uterus, a successful in-vitro fertilized (IVF) conceived twin pregnancy, and severe primary postpartum haemorrhage (PPH) during caesarean section. The 38-year-old, gravida 2, para 0+1, with a 6-year history of prior infertility, had severe primary postpartum haemorrhage at caesarean delivery of a live set of twins at estimated gestational age of 35weeks. Conservative treatment included uterine compression and massage, blood transfusion, administration of intravenous carbetocin and application of multiple figure of eight haemostatic sutures at the placenta bed. Intra-operative finding on gross inspection of the uterus was in keeping with focal adenomyosis in the region of the placenta bed. Biopsy of the involved myometrial wall was avoided due to risk of provoking further severe haemorrhage. Her prior medical record revealed pelvic endometriosis at diagnostic laparoscopy prior to conception while being evaluated for infertility. Women with prior infertility and/or endometriosis, due to very probable co-existing adenomyosis, are at high risk of life-threatening, severe post-partum haemorrhage at delivery.

Indonesia is a country with the largest Muslim population in the world with a Muslim population reaching 87% of the total population. This is an opportunity for Islamic Banks to be able to grow and develop as a bank with the concept of a profit-sharing bank. It is appropriate for all operational activities, including pricing stipulations for Islamic banking products, to be free from the element of interest (interest rate free). However, in practice, there are still pricing stipulations in Islamic banking products that benchmark interest rates. This study aims to review the pricing determination of Islamic banking products in Indonesia. The method used in this research proposal is a literature review. The literature review produced several alternative purposed for the Islamic Pricing Benchmarking method as a benchmark that can be used by Islamic banking in determining the pricing of its products.

Published: May 2021

The purpose of this study is to analyze (a) the effect of deferred tax assets on accrual earnings management; (b) the effect of deferred tax expenses on accrual earnings management; (c) the role of transfer pricing as a moderator variable to strengthen the effect of deferred tax assets on accrual earnings management; and (d) the role of transfer pricing as a moderator variable to strengthen the effect of deferred tax expenses on accrual earnings management. The samples consist of 160 manufacturing companies listed in Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX). The study utilizes the financial statements from 2012 to 2018. This study presents that (a) deferred tax assets influence accrual earnings management; b) deferred tax expenses affect accrual earnings management; c) transfer pricing does not strengthen the effect of deferred tax assets on accrual earnings management; and d) transfer pricing does not strengthen the effect of deferred tax expenses on accrual earnings management. This study contributes to accounting studies, tax authorities and regulators, and accounting policy makers. Firstly, this research contributes to the development of accounting studies on the role of transfer pricing as a moderator of the effect of deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities on earnings management. Secondly, the results of this study can make a consideration for tax authorities and regulators in addressing company management actions to minimize the amount of tax paid by utilizing policies according to PSAK. It is worth considering how to sanction companies that deliberately reduce the amount of tax that should be paid. It is necessary to conduct tax investigation by the Directorate General of taxes on companies that are indicated to have practiced accrual earnings management with the aim of reducing the tax burden. Thirdly, accounting policy makers need to consider how management reduces the tax that should be paid through accounting policies that are allowed under PSAK and transfer pricing mechanism.
Clinical Practice of Hepatorenal Syndrome: A Brief Review on Diagnosis and Management
Authors: Rendy . , Febyan . , Wetarini Krisnhaliani
Published: May 2021

The hepatorenal syndrome is one of various potential causes of acute kidney injury in patients with decompensated liver disease. Hepatorenal syndrome is diagnosed based on reducing kidney function without any evidence of intrinsic kidney disease, including proteinuria, hematuria, or abnormal kidney ultrasonography. Clinically, hepatorenal syndrome is divided into two types named type 1 and type 2. The most favorable therapy for HRS cases is liver transplantation; however, only a few undergo this procedure due to the high mortality. Other modalities for hepatorenal syndrome therapy are pharmacology and non-pharmacology approaches. The purpose of management HRS is to optimize and stabilize the patient until an organ transplant available. This review aims to discuss the underlying pathophysiology and demonstrate the diagnostic approach of hepatorenal syndrome to determine the most appropriate therapeutic measures in clinical practice. The clinicians must be aware of management principles of hepatorenal syndrome to improve the quality of care for patients and optimize the clinical conditions.
Immune Responses to SARS CoV-2: A Scoping Review
Authors: Walekhwa Michael , Kagia Richard , Muturi Margaret
Published: May 2021

COVID-19 is noxious and constitutes a raft of adverse multiplier effects. As such, there is urgent need to understand the disease well and take action to mitigate its punitive pathologic & economic outcomes. Comprehending the conduct of the immune system during and after infection may provide fundamental leads to unraveling effective interventions. Some vaccines and drugs have since been validated and made available for emergency use among priority populations. However, these vaccines were developed at an accelerated pace and mainly on the basis of rudimentary immunological & molecular events. Therefore, there is need for continuous revelation of precise and more elaborate hallmarks in order to improve on, or develop more efficacious and safe interventions. Three scientific databases (PubMed, Cochrane and EMBASE) were searched between 1st December, 2020 and 15th January, 2021 for information about immune responses to SARS COV-2. Studies that utilized experimental designs, exhibited little to no likelihood of bias, published in highly refereed and peer reviewed journals were selected. A total of 10 papers were shortlisted for the final synthesis. A set of cytokines including: IL-2, IL-6, IL-7, IL-10, TNF, and GM-CSF are recovered in most cases. However, IL-6 is featured in most severe and fatal events. There wasn’t congruency by different studies on the precise conduct of T-cells during infection. Some studies reported elevated levels of both CD+4 & CD+8 T-cells among severe cases while others reported exhausted elevated levels of the same immunological parameters during mild disease. Higher levels of Natural Killer-cells (NK-cells) as well as Neutralizing Antibodies (Nabs) correlate with better disease outcomes. However, considering the role played by Abs in the production of cytokines (pro and anti-inflammatory), it may be crucial to profile the risk/benefit ratio of Abs during infection. Interventions that seek to: reverse high production of pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-6), potentiate release and function of NK-cells, as well as Nabs and moderate exhaustion of CD+4 & CD+8 T-cells, may constitute promising outcomes.

Authors: Adeoti Adekunle O. , Raimi Taiwo H. , Fadare Joseph O. , Ibidapo Raphael
Published: May 2021

Background: Diabetes mellitus is a non-communicable disease of global health importance. It is a metabolic disorder caused by increased levels of blood glucose over a prolonged period of time. Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is usually associated with obesity and insulin resistance. Several studies have also revealed that diabetes mellitus hampers pulmonary functions. This study was aimed at estimating the spirometric indices in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients.

Methods: A cross-sectional study of T2DM patients and apparently healthy control attending the medical outpatient clinic in a tertiary institution in south western Nigeria.

Results: A total of 146 participants with 73 patients with T2DM and 73 control groups. There were no significant differences in the age, body mass index, and gender distribution of the diabetics and control. However, patients with diabetes had higher SBP (133.2±20.17 mmHg vs 111.6±6.5 mmHg p<0.0001), and DBP (78.4±11.8mmHg vs 73.7±6.3 mmHg, p=0.003) when compared to the control. The mean FEV (1.98±0.5 vs 2.09±1.2, p=0.033), FVC (2.35±0.6 vs 2.53±1.3, p=0.045) and FEV/FVC ratio (83.61±7.2 vs 81.14±10.7, p=0.029) were significantly lower in diabetic patients when compared to matched controls. There was no significant difference in the PEF and FEF of both groups.

Conclusion: Type 2 diabetes mellitus patients had significant decrease in their spirometric indices, hence pulmonary function should be included in the periodic comprehensive diabetic check for holistic management.

Novel bHLH and WD40 transcription factors from turmeric (Curcuma longa L.) as putative regulators of curcumin biosynthesis
Authors: Mol P. Prashina , Aparna R.S. , Sheeja T.E. , Deepa K.
Published: May 2021

Turmeric, the golden spice belonging to the family Zingiberaceae, is enriched with biologically active curcuminoids composed of curcumin, demethoxycurcumin and bisdemethoxycurcumin. Curcuminoids are phenylpropanoid derivatives, and the biosynthetic pathway is controlled by several transcription factors (TFs). bHLH, WD40 and MYB TFs are the most important TFs regulating phenylpropanoid biosynthesis in plants. Through comparative transcriptome analysis of high and low curcumin germplasm accessions, 20 TFs belonging to the classes bHLH, WD 40, NAC, WRKY and bZIP, which showed differential expression with respect to curcumin, were identified. Among these, two bHLH and one WD40 TFs showed maximum comparative fold change and negative correlation vis-a-vis curcumin content in quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) analysis. The results of comparative transcriptome and qRT-PCR analyses were in congruence, indicating their putative role as negative regulators.
The interdependence of coffee futures and spot markets - An econometric analysis
Authors: Babu B.N. Pradeepa , Muniyappa Arun
Published: May 2021

Coffee is an export-oriented commodity for producing countries, and it is actively traded at international commodity exchange platforms viz., Intercontinental Exchange (ICE), New York and ICE, Europe. This study examines the interdependence of futures and spot markets for coffee in the price discovery mechanism, particularly in the Indian context. The study has considered both the International Coffee Organization (ICO) indicator prices and producers’ prices in India’s spot prices. The study confirms the existence of a stable long-run relationship between ICE coffee futures and ICO spot prices, implying that both prices react to the same set of market information. While there is an indication of equilibrium or long-run relationship between ICE Coffee futures (New York) and Arabica producer prices (at farm gate level) in India, the same was not true for Robusta coffee. The absence of co-integration between ICE futures prices (London) and Robusta producer prices in India suggested only a short-run relationship between them. The findings of the study conclude with strong evidence that the farm gate prices in India have been caused by the ICE futures markets, declining the contrary.
D. Chalmers’ argument from logical supervenience in explanation of the phenomenal consciousness
Authors: Binhi Vladimir
Published: May 2021

The subject of this research is D. Chalmers’ argument in explanation of the phenomenal consciousness –sentience or qualia – explanation on the basis of dualism of the low-level physical and high-level mental propertoes of the brain. The dualism of properties in the philosophy of consciousness means that consciousness is a high-level property, supervenient on the physical properties of the brain. Chalmers introduces the concept of logical supervenience and explains the phenomenal consciousness by the fact that psychical properties are supervenient on physical properties naturally, rather than logically. This comprises the essence of Chalmers' concept of naturalistic dualism. The article reviews the concept of supervenience in most commonly used form, and the definition of logical and natural supervenience. Supervenience becomes logical and/or natural due to the fact that its definition includes the modal term “possibility”, which concedes different interpretations: possibility by virtue of the laws of nature – nomic possibility, and logical possibility. The author demonstrates that the definition of logical supervenience, which leans on the concept of identity, makes sense only in the context of transtemporal, rather than transworld identity. Such circumstance substantially changes the meaning of the definition of logical supervenience. The novelty of this work consists in showing that unlike the logical and natural possibilities, logical and natural supervenience are different names for the same type of relationship. The conclusion is formulated that naturalistic dualism, which claims their fundamental difference, cannot explain the phenomenal consciousness using this distinction.

Objetivo: Descrever e discutir as manifestações da doença hipertensiva específica da gravidez (DHEG) e a possível relação dessa complicação gestacional com o cenário atual da pandemia do COVID-19. Revisão bibliográfica: As principais causas de morte materna e perinatal são as síndromes hipertensivas gestacionais e grande parte desses casos podem ser evitados com o diagnóstico e o tratamento estabelecidos precocemente. Apesar da etiologia da DHEG não ser bem estabelecida, sabe-se que há relação com distúrbios placentários, lesão endotelial e inflamação generalizada. Esses fatores podem ser agravados perante infecção por COVID-19, visto que há interação desse vírus com a expressão de enzimas envolvidas na regulação da pressão arterial, além da relação com o aumento de distúrbios tromboembólicos. Considerações finais: O presente trabalho mostrou a importância da detecção e tratamento precoce da DHEG, bem como do cuidado quanto à infecção das gestantes pelo COVID-19 no atual momento de pandemia. Além disso, reforça-se a necessidade que as equipes de saúde planejem a melhor forma de assistência pré-natal neste período, considerando a telemedicina sempre que sua presença física puder ser evitada no consultório médico.
