INTRINSIC AND EXTRINSIC SOURCES OF TRANSLATOR SATISFACTION: AN EMPIRICAL STUDY
Authors: Rodríguez-Castro Mónica
Published: April 2021

Este artículo presenta los principales resultados de una encuesta en línea que se enfoca en la satisfacción laboral del traductor en la actual industria de la lengua. La conceptualización teórica de la satisfacción laboral se divide en dos categorías fundamentales: satisfacción por tareas y satisfacción en el trabajo. El marco teórico establece una distinción entre fuentes intrínsecas y extrínsecas de satisfacción laboral adoptando como base los principios de la Teoría Bifactorial de Herzberg y enumera cada uno de los componentes de la satisfacción del traductor. Análisis estadísticos descriptivos permitirán cuantificar estos constituyentes y sus correlaciones. Los resultados preliminares indican que el orgullo tras realizar la traducción, capacidad de ofrecer múltiples servicios y la culminación del proyecto con éxito son fuentes cruciales de satisfacción al realizar tareas. Con respecto a la satisfacción en el trabajo, las fuentes predominantes son las destrezas profesionales del equipo, relación continuada con el cliente y la familiaridad del cliente con el mundo de la traducción. Por el contrario, los sueldos bajos y los descuentos de tarifas son los principales inhibidores de satisfacción. Los datos del estudio se integrarán en iniciativas de retención laboral y recursos humanos.

Authors: Tortato Martina
Published: April 2021

En el gran abanico de dificultades que presenta la traducción, los enunciados fraseológicos desempeñan un papel muy relevante y siempre causan problemas de comprensión y traducción. Esto se amplifica en la traducción para el doblaje que está vinculada a una serie de restricciones y que tiene que respetar los tiempos, la imagen y los espacios del original. En este artículo, centramos nuestra atención en el estudio de caso de unos enunciados fraseológicos extraídos de la serie norteamericana de género policíaco NCIS. Mediante la comparación del texto original con las traducciones del doblaje italiano y español, sacamos unas conclusiones sobre las tendencias y las técnicas de traducción del doblaje de estos elementos en los dos países.
LA TRADUCCIÓN ESPAÑOL > ITALIANO DE TIPOLOGÍAS TEXTUALES SEMI-ESPECIALIZADAS: PLANTEAMIENTO DISCURSIVO, CONTRASTIVO Y DIDÁCTICO
Authors: Trovato Giuseppe
Published: April 2021

El presente estudio aborda la traducción de textos con carácter semi-especializado entre dos lenguas emparentadas, esto es, el español y el italiano: los escritos comerciales. Nuestro objetivo reside, en primer lugar, en determinar las características específicas de una tipología textual «híbrida», pues en ella convergen rasgos procedentes de distintos ámbitos (económico, administrativo, jurídico, por mencionar los más destacados). A continuación, emprenderemos una serie de reflexiones de tipo contrastivo y traductológico: en concreto, analizaremos cómo llevar a cabo el proceso de traducción en la dirección español > italiano, con miras a ofrecer una fundamentación teórica y metodológica que redunde en beneficio de la Didáctica de la Traducción entre lenguas afines.
«COMPREND-IL LEUR LANGAGE, COMPRENDROIENT-ELLES LE SIEN ?»: MARIA EDGEWORTH’S ENNUI (1809) INTO FRENCH
Authors: Fernández Rodríguez Carmen María
Published: April 2021

Este trabajo se centra en la primera traducción al francés de uno de los relatos irlandeses de Maria Edgeworth, Ennui, que se publicó en 1809 en la primera serie de Tales of Fashionable Life. Nuestro objetivo es ofrecer un análisis translémico del texto meta usando los Estudios Descriptivos de Traducción (EDT). Tras una contextualización de Edgeworth y su obra, describiremos el texto fuente y meta teniendo en cuenta los cambios operados en el texto francés y sus consecuencias para la recepción en Francia. Este estudio es de especial interés por dos razones: a principios del siglo diecinueve, Edgeworth era muy popular en Gran Bretaña por sus grandes ventas de novelas feminocéntricas y ensayos educativos escritos en colaboración con su padre. Además, a Edgeworth siempre le preocupó dar un retrato adecuado de Irlanda y del discurso angloirlandés, lo que no era tan fácil de trasladar al francés.

On Quaternion-Gaussian Fibonacci Numbers and Their Properties
Authors: Halici Serpil , Cerda-Morales Gamaliel
Published: April 2021

We study properties of Gaussian Fibonacci numbers. We start with some basic identities. Thereafter, we focus on properties of the quaternions that accept gaussian Fibonacci numbers as coefficients. Using the Binet form we prove fundamental relations between these numbers. Moreover, we investigate whether the quaternions newly defined provide existing some important identities such as Cassini’s identity for quaternions.
A Mean Ergodic Theorem for Affine Nonexpansive Mappings in Nonpositive Curvature Metric Spaces
Authors: Khatibzadeh Hadi , Pouladi Hadi
Published: April 2021

In this paper, we consider the orbits of an affine nonexpansive mapping in Hadamard (nonpositive curvature metric) spaces and prove an ergodic theorem for the inductive mean, which extends the von Neumann linear ergodic theorem. The main result shows that the sequence given by the inductive means of iterations of an affine nonexpansive mapping with a nonempty fixed point set converges strongly to a fixed point of the mapping. A Tauberian theorem is also proved in order to ensure convergence of the iterations.
Dynamic failure mechanism of copper foil in laser dynamic flexible forming
Authors: Shen Zongbao , Zhang Lei , Li Pin , Liu Kai , Lin Youyu , Zhou Guoyang , Wang Yang , Zhang Jindian , Liu Huixia , Wang Xiao
Published: April 2021

Laser dynamic flexible forming (LDFF) is a novel high velocity forming (HVF) technology, in which the foil metal is loaded by laser shock wave. Strain localization is readily to occur around the bulge edge, which will result in the ultimate dynamic failure. In this work, the microstructures before and after dynamic fracture are characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) to investigate the dynamic failure mechanism. The plastic deformation regions of copper foil are composed of shock compression, strain localization and bulge. Microstructure refinement was observed in three different plastic deformation regions, particularly, dynamic recrystallization (DRX) occurs in the strain localization and bulge regions. In bulge region, extremely thin secondary twins in the twin/matrix (T/M) lamellae are formed. The microstructure features in the strain localization region show that superplastic flow of material exists until fracture, which may be due to DRX and subsequent grain boundary sliding (GBS) of the recrystallized grains. The grain coarsening in strain localization region may degrade the material flowing ability which results in the dynamic fracture.
More on the Music of Giuseppe Torti (before 1752–after 1780)
Authors: Bieńkowska Irena
Published: April 2021

Very little is known about Giuseppe Torti's life. Associated with Milan, he was active in 1752–1780. He made several long journeys, including to the Lithuanian court of H. F. Radziwiłł. I have recently discovered three new works by this composer, which means that his known and surviving output now consists of 12 compositions: 9 instrumental pieces, cantatas, and an aria, to which one should add one opera libretto and information about two operas. In Poland, Torti composed at least two (now lost) operas, staged at H. F. Radziwiłł's court theatre. His earlier works, such as Concerto in G Major (GroF826), Trio in G Major dedicated to Charles Davers, and the aria Attenda il core dal caro bene may also have belonged to the ducal court's repertoire. The cantata Armata sum in campo was most likely composed in Lithuania.

A notable aspect of Torti's preserved output are the numerous arrangements of his works, which suggests that his music was constantly in circulation, adapted and rewritten for the needs of a given place, in accordance with the audience's tastes. This indirectly confirms that his oeuvre earned the audience's acclaim. The geographic distribution of his compositions in European music centres is impressive indeed, from Edinburgh to Slutsk and from Stockholm to Palermo. This wide distribution testifies to Torti's love of travelling, but also to the popularity of his music.
Paul Hindemith's Symphonic Metamorphosis of Themes by Carl Maria von Weber for Orchestra: A Historical and Analytical Perspective
Authors: Jones Daniel A.
Published: April 2021

A now standard component of orchestral and wind band repertoire, Symphonic Metamorphosis of Themes by Carl Maria von Weber was originally intended to be ballet music. This study examines the history and background surrounding Paul Hindemith's orchestral piece and demonstrates how Hindemith crafted each movement based off Weber's original piano duets and incidental orchestral music. The study was undertaken as limited information exists about the piece in its entirety, and much of what has been written primarily concerns itself with grammatical and contextual aspects of Hindemith's title. Existing analyses either only focus on a singular movement, or are limited; presumably, due to a prevailing notion that Hindemith simply orchestrated the piano pieces. Potentially exacerbating the issue may be the fact that it was not known for nearly twenty years after Symphonic Metamorphosis was premiered which Weber duets Hindemith reworked. This analysis, coupled with the background information provided, shows that Hindemith's settings transcend mere orchestrations and, in some cases, exhibit qualities of original composition. The analysis thoroughly delineates Weber's Turandot overture and three piano duets, part by part and hand by hand, to show exactly where and how Hindemith altered the original writings. The differences in overall form, measure numbers, tempi, meter, and harmony are listed. In addition, it is revealed which thematic additions, alterations, and omissions Hindemith includes.
The relationship of vitamin D deficiency with severity and outcome of acute stroke
Authors: Rad Reza Ebrahimi , Zarbakhsh Mohammadreza , Sarabi Samira
Published: April 2021

Background. There are currently conflicting results regarding the link between vitamin D deficiency and the increased risk for stroke and its poor prognosis. The present study aimed to assess the relationship between vitamin D deficiency and prognosis of acute stroke.

Methods. This bi-center cross-sectional study was performed on 140 consecutive patients who referred to two general hospitals in Iran with the diagnosis of acute stroke. The levels of 25-hydroxy vitamin D were evaluated by Electrochemiluminescence (ECL) technique. Clinical severity of stroke on admission as well as on discharge time were evaluated using the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) or Modified Rankin (mRS) tools.

Results. Mean serum level of vitamin D was 25.51 ± 18.87 ng/mL, ranging from 3.0 to 98.6 ng/ml. There was a significant difference between the two groups (with and without vitamin D deficiency) in terms of stroke severity and disability, as reflected by mRS (P=0.003) and NIHSS evaluation (14.24 ± 9.23 versus 9.73 ± 7.36, P=0.003). Also, regarding patients’ clinical condition, the mean NIHSS score in those with deficient and normal levels of vitamin D was 14.24 ± 9.23 and 9.73 ± 7.36, respectively with NIHSS score > 5 in 76.1% and 61.5%, respectively (P = 0.003).

Conclusion. According to the results of study, vitamin D status can be related to the severity of stroke. However, considering the cross-sectional design of our study, it could not point out the causality between vitamin D deficiency and acute stroke and further studies are warranted. It is not possible to draw any conclusions in terms of causality. Further studies are required in order to assess the relationship between the serum vitamin D levels and stroke severity.
The practical specifics of compliance procedures as part of internal control of organizations' exports
Authors: YAKIMOVA Vilena A.
Published: April 2021

Subject. The article discusses compliance procedures for improving the internal control system and accommodating to the specifics of exporting enterprises' financial and business operations.
Objectives. The study is intended to formulate a methodological framework of compliance control to check whether exporting enterprises are compliant with financial laws.
Methods. The study is based on the methods of comparison, checkerboard analysis, planning, classification, grouping, summary and systematization.
Results. I formulated a compliance control program, which would account for the specifics of the exporting enterprise's financial and business operations, business processes of the exporting activity and compliance risk (associated with taxes, customs, currency, contractual obligations). The article enlists working papers needed to summarize results of tax, currency and accounting compliance procedures. I set forth a methodological approach based on the checkerboard analysis of reconciliation and comparison of export documents.
Conclusions and Relevance. Exporting enterprises need the compliance control procedures to mitigate the probability of compliance risks and eliminate financial implications, such as fines, penalties for legislative and contractual breaches. Based on the proposed compliance procedure, the compliance control system will allow the exporting enterprise to gain a positive business reputation in the Russian and foreign distribution markets, and create an image of a bona fide and law-abiding taxpayer. The findings can be used to perform internal controls at exporting enterprises.
21. Making the World a Colourful Place: Exploration of the Key Condensation Enzymes in the Biosynthesis of Prodiginines and Tambjamines
Authors: Picott Katherine
Published: April 2021

Bacteria produce many natural products that have useful bioactivities such as antibiotic, anticancer and antifungal effects. In bacteria, these molecules are made in a step-by-step process using proteins called enzymes that assist in building the molecule at each step of the process. This research is focusing on the biosynthesis of two classes of natural products called prodiginines and tambjamines. The molecules in each class have different structures but follow similar construction steps. Both processes first form the same common intermediate, then in the final step this intermediate is combined with another unique intermediate to make the final product. In this study, the enzyme that is involved in the final step of the process will be characterized for both prodiginine and tambjamine-type molecules. By purifying the enzymes for both types of molecule properties such as their catalytic mechanism, substrate flexibility, and structure can be determined and compared.
24. Perspectives of Small-Scale Landlords on Providing Healthy Housing to Populations Living on Low Income: Results of an Ontario-Wide RentSafe Survey.
Authors: Wnag Shaoyuan , Hayton Rachel
Published: April 2021

Introduction: People living on low income often experience indoor environmental health risks. As team members of the provincially funded RentSafe initiative, our research explores the perspectives of small-scale landlords in Ontario on providing healthy housing to populations living on low income. Our objectives were to: 1) determine the perceived barriers to landlords providing healthy housing, 2) ascertain whether such barriers arise from socioeconomic precariousness among landlords, and 3) mobilize findings within RentSafe to ensure policy and practice responses can better accommodate landlord constraints and priorities.

Methods: During February 2017, a survey will be conducted on small-scale landlords living in Ontario. It will be distributed through the email list of the Landlord Self-Help Centre, a legal clinic that serves Ontario landlords. The survey design has been informed by landlord focus groups and a review of literature. 

Results: Once data collection is complete, we will characterize the demographics of small-scale landlords who seek legal aid and analyze data on their attitudes, knowledge, and behaviour in relation to healthy housing. Furthermore, we will determine if socioeconomic precariousness exists among survey respondents and whether or not this impacts their ability to provide healthy housing.

Discussion: This work expands the breadth of RentSafe, and thus heightens its ability to pursue evidence-based strategies to promote healthy housing by bringing in landlord perspectives. Introducing landlord voices into the provincial conversation will shed light on opportunities for public health, government ministries, and other relevant stakeholders to better support small-scale landlords in providing healthy housing to low-income populations.
Why is that Plant Bald? A Study of pAG51 mutant Arabidopsis thaliania
Authors: Popiel Evelyn
Published: April 2021

Trichomes, the unicellular hair-like projections found on the leaves of plants, present an ideal system for the study of cell fate and morphogenesis for biologists. They are easily accessible on the epidermis of plant leaves, they are good candidates for genetic manipulation, and they display easily identifiable mutant phenotypes. In addition to their utility as a model study system, trichomes have a variety of important functions in plants, including defence against insects and pathogens, reduction of water loss, and increased resistance to stress. This study will attempt to further characterize the trichome development pathway through the study of a mutant line of Arabidopsis thaliana that does not develop trichomes on its leaves. I hypothesize that one of the genes near the mutation site in pAG51 has decreased expression, and that this is the cause of the mutant’s trichome-less appearance. To test my hypothesis, I will first assess the transcript levels of the genes near the mutation site using a technique called Quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction (QPCR). Once a gene has been identified, its function will be tested in vivo. The candidate gene will be knocked out in wild type A. thaliana, and if the progeny of this plant grow without trichomes, this will confirm the function of the candidate gene in trichome formation. Finally mutant pAG51 will be bred with another line of mutant A. thaliana, and the progeny phenotypes will be observed to understand how the candidate gene interacts with other genes in the trichome initiation pathway.
For Girls: The Sexual Politics of Girls’ Comics in Post-War Britain
Authors: Hughes Tegwyn
Published: April 2021

This paper will investigate girls’ comics in late 20th century Britain to illuminate the experiences of the adolescent post-war generation. My research focuses on girls’ comics, specifically Bunty, Mandy, and Judy, which were read widely throughout the country. The illustrated stories in these publications typically portrayed teenage girls as the protagonists in a variety of situations and adventures. By using the primary source documents of the comics as the main basis for my research, I explore the following questions: to what extent did the comics reflect the changing assumptions about gender and gender expectations in British society from the 1950s to 1970s? Did girls feel empowered by the stories they read, or did they feel like they had to conform to a certain ideal of womanhood produced by gender norms? How were these ideals configured by race, especially by Caribbean migration in post-war Britain? By examining this small portion of British popular culture and its reception, I will gain a wider understanding of fluid and dynamic ideas about gender in these crucial decades of the late 20th century.
The Implementation of Well-Known Trademarks Doctrine in Indonesian Commercial and Supreme Court
Authors: Donandi S. Sujana , Cakranegara Pandu Adi
Published: April 2021

The implementation of well-known trademark in indonesia is still unsatisfying especially for foreign trademarks since many foreign trademarks that claimed themselves as well-known trademarks were not admitted for the trademarks were not yet registered or based on judges assessment, not fulfilling the criteria. This research aim is to analyse the implementation of well-known trademarks doctrine in Indonesian commercial and supreme court. The method used is normative-juridical with  statute and case study approach. The result shows that the commercial and supreme court have used the criteria of well-known trademarks as stipulated in Law no. 20 Year 2016 and Permenkumham no. 67 Year 2016 as well as WIPO Joint Recommendation in identifying a well-known trademark. However, the implementation is inconsistent. it is inconsistent because in one case (STARCO case), court prior to the first to file principle while in other case (Alexander Mcqueen case), court admit the trademark as a well-known trademark though it is not registered yet. The second case is coherence with the well-known trademark doctrine which the idea to protect a high reputed trademark even it is not registered. Secondly, the emptiness of the detailed criteria has made the judgement on well-known trademarks becomes widely opened for interpretation. Thus, the next convention and regulation must set aside the first to file principle and prior to the criteria only in identifying a well-known trademark. Moreover, the criteria of minimum number of registration or application should be revised by requiring the trademark to be registered or applied in at least 6 out of 10 countries with the biggest population in the world so that it is proven that the trademark is exist among the most world population. In addition, the standard level of legal enforcement must entail minimum two verdicts so that the enforcement has obtained a re-confirmation.

Meaning and Follow Up of Positive Fictional Decisions According to the Government Administration Law
Authors: Syamsu Syamsir , Fauzi Muhammad Alifian Geraldi
Published: April 2021

After enacting the Government Administration Law, there have been positive fictitious decisions, which are contrary to the negative fictitious decisions stipulated in the Administrative Court Law. It has led to an inaccurate understanding in some of the general public that a positive decision is the final form of a request from the public to a government agency or official being granted a decision and/or implementation of government action. This research uses normative legal research methods using a statutory approach and literature study. This study explains that the existence of positive fictional decisions does not necessarily eliminate the existence of negative fictional decisions.
Response of giant foxtail and wild proso millet to artificial light quality alteration
Authors: Bisikwa Jenipher , Becker Roger L. , Fritz Vince A. , Natukunda Kevin , Natukunda Martha I.
Published: April 2021

Light is an essential requirement for proper plant growth and development. Growth chamber experiments were conducted to determine whether artificial alteration of light quality (reducing the red to far-red ratio-R:FR) differentially affected the growth and development of giant foxtail and wild proso millet, two troublesome annual grass weeds in the United States. Growth phenotypes of both weeds were examined under two R:FR regimes (0.28-reduced R:FR and 1.12-unaltered R:FR) in the absence of competition (control conditions) and under intraspecific and interspecific competition. The reduced R:FR simulated shaded (below-canopy) R:FR conditions in the field while the unaltered R:FR treatment simulated direct sunlight (above-canopy) conditions. Averaged across weed species, reducing the R:FR increased plant height, but reduced tiller production and above-ground biomass under no plant competition (P<0.05). In the presence of competition, reducing the R:FR increased plant height and internode length but reduced the number of tillers and leaf area across weed species. No phenotypic differences were observed for weeds tested under intraspecific or interspecific competition. Our study has shown that the response of both weeds to artificial R:FR alteration is similar to that observed under shaded field conditions. Therefore, by replacing bordering plants with a crop, controlled experiments can be used to test the effect of crop canopies on weed suppression when selecting cultivars to be planted in areas where certain weed species are prevalent, minimizing weed-related yield losses.

Authors: Murthy Anirudh , Kornel Ezriel , Neubardt Seth
Published: April 2021

Background:

When diagnosing and treating spinal disorders, spine surgeons commonly utilize computed tomography (CT) scans preoperatively, intraoperatively, and postoperatively.

Methods:

This article reviews the literature regarding the potentially harmful effects of X-rays, specifically from CT scans.

Results:

The risk for damaging DNA and developing cancer increases with increasing scan length (e.g., increasing amount of radiation received).

Conclusion:

When assessing postoperative status, CT scans should be directed only through the area of specific interest to limit the total dose of radiation received by the patient.
Temporal muscle thickness and area are an independent prognostic factors in patients aged 75 or younger with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage treated by clipping
Authors: Katsuki Masahito , Kakizawa Yukinari , Nishikawa Akihiro , Yamamoto Yasunaga , Uchiyama Toshiya
Published: April 2021

Background:

Skeletal muscle mass is an important factor for various diseases’ outcomes. As for its indicators, temporal muscle thickness (TMT) and temporal muscle area (TMA) on the head computed tomography are useful, and TMT and TMA were reported as potential prognostic factors for aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). We examined the clinical characteristics, including TMT and TMA, of SAH patients aged 75 or younger.

Methods:

We retrospectively investigated 127 SAH patients with all World Federation of Neurosurgical Societies (WFNS) grades and treated by clipping between 2009 and 2019. Clinical outcome was measured with the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) at 6 months, with favorable outcome defined as mRS 0–2. The associations between the clinical variables and the outcomes were analyzed.

Results:

The mean age was 60.6 (32–74) years, and 65% were women. The mean ± standard deviation of WFNS grade was 2.8 ± 1.4. TMT and TMA were larger in the favorable outcome group than the poor one. Multivariate analysis revealed that age, smoking, WFNS grade, and TMT or TMA were associated with favorable outcome. Receiver operating characteristic analysis found that the threshold of TMT was 4.9 mm in female and 6.7 mm in male, and that of TMA was 193 mm2 in female and 333 mm2 in male.

Conclusion:

The odds ratios for TMT and TMA related to clinical outcome were lower than for smoking and WFNS grade; however, on multivariate analysis they remained independent prognostic factors in SAH patients aged 75 or younger treated by clipping. Further studies are needed to confirm these findings.

Background:

Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH)-secreting pituitary adenoma (TSHoma) is the rarest functioning pituitary adenoma.

Methods:

A retrospective analysis of eight patients of TSHomas to highlight the presentations, diagnostic challenges, and treatment outcomes.

Results:

Median age at diagnosis was 42 years, median latency to diagnosis was 2.5 years, and thyrotoxic and compressive symptoms were the most common presenting symptoms. At presentation, three cases were plurihormonal, six cases were on medical treatment including thyroxine, and two cases were incidentally discovered. Imaging revealed macroadenoma in all cases. Seven cases underwent pituitary surgery, after which three achieved remission. Another case entered remission after adjunctive radiotherapy. Thyrotropin (TSH) immunostaining was demonstrated in six out of seven adenomas.

Conclusion:

TSHoma is a rare functioning pituitary tumor with both silent and symptomatic presentations. Diagnosis can be established with biochemical and imaging features, even without dynamic tests.
Feedback on the benefits of remote patient control in Automated Peritoneal Dialysis in a French peritoneal dialysis center.
Authors: Jager Rachel , ROBLES Agnes , LAN YUE WAH Philippe
Published: April 2021

The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the growing role of telemedicine in home dialysis treatments. Since the appearance of a connected automated peritoneal dialysis (APD) machine (Claria Sharesource Baxter® machine), we have systematically offered this solution to our patients treated with APD. Over the past two years, we have treated 35 patients with connected APD, of which 20 are still under the technique (aged 50 to 87) and represent 54% of the patients on peritoneal dialysis. A questionnaire on five subjects (perception of switching to the connected machine, stress, safety, everyday life, and vacations) was also given to them and showed that 80% of the patients had no stress related to the telemonitoring, while 18 out of 20 patients (90%) felt safe. In 2020, we received 74 phone calls during on-call phone duty, including 42 calls for the 20 patients on connected APD, one all for a patient on normal APD, and 32 calls for 16 patients on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD). Handling errors concerned 42.85% of the calls, system errors concerned 4.76%, program validation concerned 7.14%, and connection problems concerned 9.52%. We were thus able to correct several problems remotely, such as drainage problems, weight gain, blood pressure imbalance, poor compliance, and connection problems. Thanks to the platform, we are notified daily of a possible problem. This saves the nurses time and allows them to deal with other issues. The way we educate patients and assist private nurses has not changed. Indeed, only the connection to the network as well as the entry of the weight and arterial pressure were added, and the disposables remained the same.

Night or day, or in times of a health crisis, we can provide a rapid and targeted response to the patients’ questions, thanks to the platform.
Peritoneal Dialysis Initiation to treat end stage kidney desease during pregnancy. A report of 2 cases.

Published: April 2021

Despite strong evidence suggesting that peritoneal dialysis (PD) is a comparable technique to long-hour hemodialysis (HD) for pregnant patients (11,12), few cases are described in the current literature. Moreover, initiating PD in a pregnant woman needing extrarenal epuration is rarely described if at all.

In this article, we present two cases of patients who initiated PD while being already multiple month pregnant: the first one 14 years ago and the other today.

Our two patients are in their thirties, are respectively 16 and 10 weeks pregnant and have a history of anti-phospholipids syndrome. It was decided to start a PD program with both of them. Our first patient gave birth to a healthy 2.5 kg and 45 cm daughter despite an episode of peritonitis and the freeing of the peritoneal catheter from adherences. Our second patient is currently on dialysis without complications and is now 28 weeks pregnant with a healthy monitored child.

Initiating PD in a pregnant patient is a subject that has not yet been published in the current scientific literature. With higher pregnancy rates than ever in the end stage renal disease population (31), we suggest to assess the objective benefits of PD extrarenal epuration method by performing a prospective comparative study between PD and HD.

The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has been associated with a drop in diagnoses of several diseases in 2020, including cancers. In this letter addressed to the editor, the Groupement des Néphrologues Francophones de Belgique (GNFB), assessed whether there was a similar effect concerning end-stage renal disease (ESRD).

Data of patients with ESRD form 25 of the 26 centers constituting the GNFB register were collected. In conclusion, the year 2020 was marked by an 8% drop in the incidence of overall treatments for ESRD. A particularly marked decline in outpatient dialysis initiation programs (PD and HDD). In addition, the interruption of transplant programs in academic centers as well as the closure of ambulatory patient clinics in a majority of hospitals was associated with a delay in nephrological management.

Authors:   Universiti Teknologi Malaysia
Published: April 2021

Organizational cynicism has been an area of concern for the management of higher education. The purpose of this study is to examine whether the academic perception of person-organization fit has a significant impact on organizational cynicism. Data for the research was collected through a self-administered survey and was analyzed using partial least square structural equation modelling. The findings of the study revealed that the person-organization fit has a significant and negative influence on the cynicism. These findings showed that management reduces negative attitudes among academics by adopting strategies that not only fulfil employees’ needs and preferences but also conform to their values and goals. The limitations and directions for future research are also discussed.

Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM) is an inflammatory demyelinating disease of the central nervous system (CNS). Its diagnosis can be challenging due to having varied clinical presentations, including a range of motor, speech, cognitive, and behavioral changes that can vary in frequency and intensity, and there being no strictly defined diagnostic criteria for it in adults. Here we present a 58-year-old White male who developed ADEM following an uncommon cause (i.e., rabies vaccination), which was difficult to diagnose due to atypical manifestations.
Evolución transformacional urbana, de la ciudad a la metrópoli. Redefiniendo el concepto de fuerzas centrífugas de expansión territorial
Authors: Sousa-González Dr. Eduardo
Published: April 2021

Lo que se abordará enseguida está relacionado no solo con la forma en que una ciudad procesalmente en el tiempo-espacio-diferencial (Lefebvre, H.: 1980: 44), se transforma espacialmente de una ciudad monocéntrica en una conurbación metropolitana (Precedo: 2004), la cual tiene como eje medular un centro metropolitano.Dicho centro está integrado por las diferentes áreas conurbadas y forma un policentrismo diversificado y caracterizado espacialmente por una localización de los diferentes usos del suelo, multidireccional y de orientación periférica alrededor de éste. Lo cual tiende a promover en su evolución transformacional territorial a un doble movimiento urbano contradictorio:i. El de  dispersión y; ii. El de condensación (Lefebvre, H.:2017:94).
