Arbitrability of Corporate Disputes: National Realities and Foreign Experience
Authors: KUZNIETSOVA Nataliia S. , PRYTYKA Yurii D. , KHOMENKO Mykhailo M.
Published: July 2020

The tendency to promote alternative ways of resolving disputes and their effectiveness leads to the expansion of the scope of their application. The relevance of corporate dispute arbitration relates to the rising number of multinational corporations and the general tendencies of globalization and regionalization of the world economy. To identify the main tendencies in the development of national legislation, it is necessary to study the genesis of corporate dispute arbitrability. The purpose of the paper is to determine the scope of corporate disputes that may be submitted to the consideration of international commercial arbitration (arbitrable corporate disputes) under the current legislation of Ukraine (in particular, in light of the reform of procedural legislation in 2016) and the prospects for the dynamics of corporate arbitrability in the future. The tasks of the paper are to analyze the genesis of corporate dispute arbitrability; to analyze the legislation of foreign countries on arbitrability of corporate disputes; analysis of the efficiency of corporate litigation in international commercial arbitration; research into the expediency of expanding the range of arbitrable corporate disputes in the national legislation of Ukraine. There was a negative tendency in the Ukrainian legislation, formed by the current version of the COD of Ukraine, regarding the classification of at least a significant part of corporate disputes in the category of non-arbitrable, which not only does not correspond to the general global tendencies in this area, but also significantly reduces the level of investment attractiveness of Ukraine.

Published: July 2020

The article analyzes important meaning of determining the advantages and threats of choosing a dominant domestic (constitutional) or external (international treaties) vector of budgetary funds administration to ensure the certainty of the development direction of the financial, economic and legal system of the states that are still in the stage of formation. The resolution of this task is an integral part of the characteristics of the state’s basic functioning, with the determination of the primacy of the respective sources regulation.

The study uses general scientific and special scientific methods, the basis of which is the application of the results of theoretical studies, statistical and other generalized information on the functioning of the legal and financial system of Ukraine. Ukraine recognizes the primacy of international legal regulation, however, if it does not contradict the Constitution.

In the context of globalization and threats to identity, special measures shall be applied by the state to protect its financial stability and independence. It is stated in the article that special attention should be paid to normative principles, which shall be reflected in the legislation. Moreover, the article analyzes the acts of soft law in the framework of cooperation with international financial organizations, which differ from ‘ordinary’ treaties, but bear a politically binding component. It is concluded that the international obligations of the state, taken under international treaties in the financial and budgetary sphere, cannot create direct consequences for citizens, but must be realized in the legal system through national law-making.

Published: July 2020

Labor relations have always been defined as a source of not only increasing of well-being for all parties, but also as a source of the formation of social problematic situations. This was allowed in cases when workers did not receive the level of income they expected and considered fair. In this case, the search for ways to protect the rights of workers, which is considered in the field of labor law, is relevant. The standard sources for the implementation of forms of protection in labor law are strikes and other forms of termination of the work process. The novelty of the paper is determined by the fact that in modern society the forms of protection of labor rights are mainly judicial forms, which guarantee that the employer cannot influence the settlement process by unofficially affecting employees. The article reveals aspects of the design of labor relations that could eliminate the negative impact on the labor process. Aspects of the formation of the branch of labor law are considered, which can provide the maximum number of decisions in the pretrial order. The practical significance of the paper is determined by the possibility of applying methods of solving collective labor disputes as a factor in the formation of the labor law industry with the formation of the principles of sustainable functioning and public control over business.
The Role of Public Diplomacy in Dialogue with Foreign Public
Authors: URAZAYEVA Assemgul T.
Published: July 2020

At present, dialogue is the most effective form of interaction, which allows to form a positive public opinion and achieve the country's foreign policy interests abroad. The paper investigates the concept of public diplomacy, proposed by various authors as a special direction of the country's foreign policy. To determine the effectiveness of public diplomacy, practices of different countries are examined, namely Russia and China, which, through the use of public diplomacy, have created a dialogue with the foreign public, thereby promoting national interests and gaining loyalty of a foreign audience. This paper considers the international initiatives of Kazakhstan as elements of public diplomacy, allowing to position the country and increase its attractiveness in the international arena. Analyzing the experience of developing public diplomacy in other countries and considering the current tasks of Kazakhstan, the author offers recommendations on the effective implementation of public diplomacy as an additional opportunity to promote the foreign policy interests of Kazakhstan abroad. The implementation of the recommendations will allow Kazakhstan to effectively use public diplomacy for successful positioning of the country in the world community, as well as to establish dialogue with the foreign public, ensuring its loyalty to the country's current policy.

Published: July 2020

The objective of this research is to evaluate the process and school applicability of teacher training program designed and applied on Visual Culture Theory in visual arts courses in line with opinions of project participant teachers. In this research, we used the “holistic multi-stage” sampling since we examined visual culture studies in visual arts courses in line with the opinions of classroom teachers and visual arts teachers. The study group in this research consisted of a total of 508 teachers who participated in the teacher training workshop organized under TÜBİTAK 4005 Science and Society Innovative Education Practices. We collected data using participant diaries and focus group interviews. The data were analyzed by content analysis and presented under five main themes formed by visual culture theory; “Learning Experiences”, “Inquiries”, “Concerns”, “Needs” and “New Ideas for Learning and Teaching”. Suggestions were presented on extending pre-service and in-service training programs to teach new approaches such as visual culture theory in art education and on increasing number of practices involving student-teacher and parent interaction taking such approaches in the scope of lifelong learning.
GŁÓWNE PROBLEMY NORMALIZACJI POLSZCZYZNY XVII WIEKU
Authors: PIHAN-KIJASOWA ALICJA , MOTYL AGNIESZKA
Published: July 2020

Research into the literary Polish language of the 17th century was undertaken relatively late. No significant relevant attempts had been made before the mid-20th century. The first detailed studies were made in the 1950s while the 1970s marked significantly advanced studies on the subject. The first monograph of the 17th century Polish language was published as late as in 2002. However, the monograph, presenting the entire grammar system together with the spelling rules and phonetics, does not conclude research into this period as it is rather general and fails to discuss many major issues related to the language’s evolution, for example the regional conditionings of the course of the normalization processes. This is a shortage plaguing many works on the 17th century Polish language. Therefore, it is very difficult to reconstruct the emergence and geographic distribution of linguistic innovations, over time transferring into a language norm. As for the 17th century, we can only refer to the text norm (or a practical norm/usus). In the century in question, a codified (theoretical) norm had not yet been developed although the grammar instructions from that time include some guidelines on linguistic correctness. As printing had already been well developed, we have enough sources to reconstruct text norms and to show its evolution. By referring to studies and text overviews one may conclude that the 17th century inherited from the 16th century a system largely normalized on various levels: the spelling, phonetics and morphology. On the other hand, it also either inherited or produced co-functional variants which only aspired to becoming a part of the norm. On the basis of selected issues from the realm of phonetics, declension and conjugation, the article shows examples of norms inherited from the previous century and, more importantly, processes of new linguistic norms emerging in the 17th century. These processes have been presented not only in reference to the averaged status in the general Polish language but also, whenever possible, their course is presented in the regional varieties of the language. By resorting to the methodology and terminology developed by Irena Bajerowa, the authors have touched upon the issue of the regionally diversified rate of the normalization processes. However, with reference to the 17th century, we are not able to present many linguistic facts in this specific way. What we need is detailed statistical research that shows the share of the specific variants in the regional variations of the Polish language, in several synchronic sectional views (vertical time segments). This research procedure will allow to show the source of new linguistic norms, the rate at which they disseminate and which regions are the most innovative ones.

Fully Affine Invariant Methods for Cross-Session Registration of Calcium Imaging Data
Authors: Li Chunyue , Yang Xiaofeng , Ke Ya , Yung Wing-Ho
Published: July 2020

In vivotwo-photon microscopy permits simultaneous recording of the activity of the same neuronal population across multiple sessions in days or weeks, which is crucial for addressing many fundamental questions of neuroscience. The field-of-view (FOV) alignment is a necessary step for identifying the same neurons across multiple imaging sessions. Accurate FOV alignment becomes challenging in the situations of image blurring, insufficient common neurons, or uneven background brightness. The existing methods largely fail to align FOV pairs in these situations. The fully affine invariant approach has been applied in computer vision to register real scene images with different backgrounds. However, its performance in calcium imaging data is unknown. We explored the feasibility of using the fully affine invariant approach to align calcium FOV images across multiple sessions by examining the performance of five methods. Further, we compared their performance with common feature-based methods as well as some classical methods with or without adaptive contrast enhancement. Using cellular resolution calcium imaging data recorded from two areas of the mouse motor cortex over weeks, we show that all fully affine invariant methods provide more accurate FOV alignment results than other methods in general and in the case of a few common neurons identified, uneven background brightness or image blurring. This study demonstrated the feasibility and reliability of the fully affine invariant methods in cross-session FOV alignment. These methods could be useful for neuroscience research, especially on questions that involve experience-dependent plasticity spanning over days or weeks.

Published: July 2020

People’s general tendencies to view others as cold-hearted and manipulative (rather than affectionate and trustworthy) may explain defection in social dilemma situations. To capture idiosyncratic tendencies in other-perceptions, we collected mutual judgments in groups of unacquainted individuals in two studies (N1 = 83, N2 = 413) and extracted perceiver effect scores using the Social Relations Model. In both studies, participants later played a public goods game. In Study 1, perceiver effects predicted cooperation beyond self-reported and group-related control variables. However, results were not replicated in a preregistered second study with higher power and a more diverse sample. We discuss implicit group norms as a likely explanation for the inconsistent findings and suggest future directions for addressing generalized expectations in social dilemmas.
From Measuring to Estimation: Definitions of Geometry and Architect-Engineer in Early Modern Ottoman Architecture
Authors: Kale Gül
Published: July 2020

In From Measuring to Estimation: Definitions of Geometry and Architect-Engineer in Early Modern Ottoman Architecture, Gül Kale examines various definitions and uses of geometry in the Ottoman world through a close reading of a unique book on architecture written around 1614 by the scholar Caʿfer Efendi, a friend and associate of the Ottoman chief architect Mehmed Agha. A contextual analysis of Caʿfer’s remarks on various definitions of geometry and the architect-engineer, and the connotations of these terms for early seventeenth-century readers, sheds light on the different degrees of geometrical knowledge then seen as required for sound architectural and artistic practice. Further, Kale argues that the links Caʿfer and his associates established among estimation, reason, and proportion offer insights into the role of cognitive faculties in Ottoman architectural and artistic processes.

Authors: Tugrul Tugba Orten , Karımlı Kanan
Published: July 2020

This study aims to explore sustainable development achievements and shortcomings of Azerbaijan since independence by examining sustainability impacts of policies according to the Four Capital Model. Secondary data was collected by reviewing many sources including scholarly articles, reports from international organizations, pieces of legislation, policy papers and government publications recording progress on development goals. In addition, primary data was collected by conducting in-depth interviews with two policymakers and two private sector representatives. Findings demonstrates that while Azerbaijan has fared relatively well in social aspects of sustainable development, economy and environment are areas where much progress remains to be achieved. Specifically, oil dependence of the economy needs to be diversified, domestic and foreign investment needs to be stimulated, and health care and social protection systems needs to be improved. Regarding sustainable energy, the study recommends Azerbaijan to utilize its available renewable energy sources and continue improving energy efficiency.

Published: July 2020

The understanding of the relationship between outdoor activities and outdoor urban spaces is a complex issue, comprising a mutual study between urban space configuration and human behaviors aspect. Jan Gehl and Birgitte Svarre 1987 confirmed that when the outdoor areas are of high quality, the outdoor activity take place with the same frequency, and they tend to take a longer time. From this point, this paper presents an investigation method of the quality of outdoor urban space basing on the investigation of user pattern. El-Houria plaza in Biskra city, Algeria was chosen as case study. Behavioral mapping and questionnaire surveys were applied, for data collection and analysis on March, where the mean daily maximum temperature in the city is 24°C. The findings from this study show that there is a segregation in the continuity of outdoor activities during the day, due to the poor quality of plaza, as well as this confirmed that the continuity of outdoor activities in space depends on the quality of outdoor urban space. This investigation method can be used it and applied to analysis user pattern and examine the quality of outdoor urban space to lead and prompt to a successful design.
Altered brain network topology related to working memory in internet addiction
Authors: Wang Hongxia , Sun Yan , Lan Fan , Liu Yan
Published: July 2020

Background and aims

The working memory (WM) ability of internet addicts and the topology underlying the WM processing in internet addiction (IA) are poorly understood. In this study, we employed a graph theoretical framework to characterize the topological properties of the IA brain network in the source cortical space during WM task.

Methods

A sample of 24 subjects with IA and 23 matched healthy controls (HCs) performed visual 2-back task. Exact Low Resolution Electromagnetic Tomography was adopted to project the pre-processed EEG signals into source space. Subsequently, Lagged phase synchronization was calculated between all pairs of Brodmann areas, the graph theoretical approaches were then employed to estimate the brain topological properties of all participants during the WM task.

Results

We found better WM behavioral performance in IA subjects compared with the HCs. Moreover, compared to the HC group, more integrated and hierarchical brain network was revealed in the IA subjects in alpha band. And altered regional centrality was mainly resided in frontal and limbic lobes. In addition, significant relationships between the IA severity and the significant altered graph indices were found.

Conclusions

In conclusion, these findings provide evidence to support the notion that altered topological configuration may underline changed WM function observed in IA.

Published: July 2020

Background and aims

Excessive use of electronic devices has become a major global problem. However, little is known about the development and current landscape of research concerning this field. This study aimed at exploring the overall publication trend and topics of research on the overuse of electronic devices and the Internet from 1971 to 2017.

Methods

We systematically searched the Web of Science (WoS) and Scopus databases for published articles on the excessive use of electronic devices and the Internet. Data regarding the publication volume, international collaborations, and geographical locations were analyzed by bibliometrics analysis. Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) was undertaken to categorize publications into different research topics.

Results

A total of 2,276 papers from the WOS and 600 papers from the Scopus were included. We found a dramatic increase in the number of scientific papers towards addiction to electronic devices and the Internet. The United State led in all publication parameters including the total number of papers and total citations. China, Korea and Taiwan were among the most prolific countries/regions. Smartphone addiction was the main concern, and the relationship between the overuse of electronic devices and the Internet and mental health issues have been highlighted. On the other hand, our study found a limited appearance of discussion on effective treatment and intervention.

Discussion and Conclusion

The findings of this study call for more national and international cooperation in evaluating and intervening addiction to electronic devices and the Internet to gather more knowledge about this phenomenon and evaluate the effectiveness of treatment.
Dental Implant Placement in Patients With a History of Medications Related to Osteonecrosis of the Jaws: A Systematic Review
Authors: Sher Judd , Kirkham-Ali Kate , Luo Jie Denny , Miller Catherine , Sharma Dileep
Published: July 2020

The present systematic review evaluates the safety of placing dental implants in patients with a history of antiresorptive or antiangiogenic drug therapy. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses (PRISMA) guidelines were followed. PubMed, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Scopus, Web of Science, and OpenGrey databases were used to search for clinical studies (English only) to July 16, 2019. Study quality was assessed regarding randomization, allocation sequence concealment, blinding, incomplete outcome data, selective outcome reporting, and other biases using a modified Newcastle-Ottawa scale and the Joanna Briggs Institute critical appraisal checklist for case series. A broad search strategy resulted in the identification of 7542 studies. There were 28 studies reporting on bisphosphonates (5 cohort, 6 case control, and 17 case series) and 1 study reporting on denosumab (case series) that met the inclusion criteria and were included in the qualitative synthesis. The quality assessment revealed an overall moderate quality of evidence among the studies. Results demonstrated that patients with a history of bisphosphonate treatment for osteoporosis are not at increased risk of implant failure in terms of osseointegration. However, all patients with a history of bisphosphonate treatment, whether taken orally for osteoporosis or intravenously for malignancy, appear to be at risk of “implant surgery-triggered” medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ). In contrast, the risk of MRONJ in patients treated with denosumab for osteoporosis was found to be negligible. In conclusion, general and specialist dentists should exercise caution when planning dental implant therapy in patients with a history of bisphosphonate and denosumab drug therapy. Importantly, all patients with a history of bisphosphonates are at risk of MRONJ, necessitating this to be included in the informed consent obtained before implant placement.
Do delírio paranoico de reivindicação: crimes de gozo e em nome do ideal
Authors: Hamon Romuald
Published: July 2020

O perigo potencial dos paranoicos reivindicadores é um dado clínico que se impôs na psiquiatria. A lógica subjetiva inerente à passagem ao ato se distingue, entretanto, da de outros homicídios ou tentativas de assassinato cometidas por sujeitos psicóticos que tentam, ao fazê-lo, tratar o gozo do qual são objeto. Tal lógica explica-se a partir das especificidades do delírio paranoico de reivindicação que o ensino lacaniano permite compreender. Esse delírio edifica-se sobre a base de um prejuízo de gozo que persegue o sujeito. Os crimes que daí resultam são motivados por uma vontade de gozo e cometidos em nome de um ideal de justiça em torno do qual o sujeito organiza sua existência.

Authors: Viana Beatriz Alves , Furtado Luis Achilles Rodrigues , Vieira Camilla Araújo Lopes
Published: July 2020

O artigo aborda o valor do trabalho de invenção como forma de estabilização na clínica do autismo, a partir de um projeto de extensão universitária voltada a crianças em grave sofrimento psíquico, que tem a psicanálise como direção de trabalho e de tratamento. Durante esta vivência, podemos presenciar - a partir do acompanhamento do movimento dessas crianças - sujeitos que, por meio de suas manifestações particulares, buscavam produzir algo que estabilizasse sua desorganização psíquica. Assim, entende-se que o trabalho subjetivo implicado no ato da invenção - enquanto o ato que um sujeito realiza uma construção singular de elementos de sua história a partir de materiais já existentes - pode redundar numa estabilização e mediação com o campo do Outro por parte do sujeito, algo que foi possível observar nessa experiência clínica.

Published: July 2020

Abstract Introduction: The quality of life (QoL) of schoolchildren with cerebral palsy (CP) should be evaluated considering the functional variability of the child with CP with an extended view on functionality in the school context and the determinants of QoL. Objective: to evaluate the school participation and the QoL of schoolchildren with CP in Recife's municipal public network, as well as to analyze the influence of GMFCS levels and motor performance on these variables in the study population. Method: This is an exploratory observational study whose evaluation model was structured based on the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (CIF). Children with CP were classified in the Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) and evaluated according to Gross Motor Function Measure-88 (GMFM-88). The School Function Assessment (SFA) and the Quality of Life Questionnaire for Cerebral Palsy (CPQOL-Caregiver) were answered by teachers and mothers, respectively. Results: In the study population, the higher the GMFCS level, the lower the participation and the lower the independence in school activities, aspects that add to the QoL construct, mainly with less functionality, less emotional well-being and self-esteem, and lower family health. Conclusion: GMFCS levels and motor performance of schoolchildren with CP can affect school participation and QoL, and it is important to consider each child's individual and contextual factors. These results can help the development of functional, care, inclusion and pedagogical strategies for students with CP.

Published: July 2020

Abstract Introduction: Loneliness interferes with the eating habits and functionality of the elderly, compromising their quality of life. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the effects of eating and performing functional group-based exercises on depressive symptoms, loneliness and quality of life in patients with sarcopenia treated at a public health service. Method: This is a randomized clinical trial with a convenience sample of elderly women with sarcopenia according to the European Work Group of Sarcopenia on Older People (EWGSOP), divided into three groups of 20 subjects each: a control group (CG), functional exercise group (FEG), monitored using the Home-based Older People’s Exercise (HOPE) program, and functional exercise and nutritional intervention group (NIG), which in addition to HOPE, received pre-training fruit juice (fast-absorbing carbohydrates) and post-training banana smoothie reinforced with peanut (leucine). These groups met twice a week for 12 weeks, the control group (CG) received health guidance at weekly meetings for 12 weeks. The results of the interventions were analyzed using the geriatric depression scale and UCLA loneliness scale, and quality of life using the EQ-5D. Results: Significant post-intervention differences were observed in the NIG group in depressive (p=0.008) and loneliness symptoms (0.04) and quality of life (0.009), demonstrating the effects of group exercise and eating as a social activity. Conclusion: Nutritional intervention and functional group-based exercises were effective at minimizing depressive symptoms, social isolation, and improving the quality of life of elderly women with sarcopenia.

Authors: Souza Bruno Henrique Silva de , Holanda Hesli de Sousa , Holanda Norrara Scarlytt de Oliveira , Torres Vanessa Braga , Pereira Silvana Alves
Published: July 2020

Abstract Introduction: The immaturity of the integumentary system in premature newborns (PTNB), associated with ventilatory support, contributes to the higher occurrence of nasal trauma. Objective: This article reports on the case of a newborn submitted to Kinesio® Taping as an innovative prophylactic therapy for nasal trauma. Method: We report on Kinesio® Taping, a material frequently used to treat pain in athletes, as an innovative therapeutic tool to prevent nasal septal lesions in a PTNB undergoing noninvasive mechanical ventilation (NIMV), who, after 13 days on NIMV, presented with nasal septal lesions. Results: The Kinesio® Taping, was positioned to protect the nasal septum from friction caused by direct contact of the nasal prong, maintained NIMV pressure, adapted well to the shape of the nose and improved nasal trauma after 3 days of use. Conclusion: Given that breathing in this period of life occurs predominantly through the nose and maintaining the integrity of this mucosa reduces not only respiratory discomfort, but also deformities and the risk of infections. The present study presents KT as an innovative protective tool against nasal injury in premature newborns submitted to positive pressure ventilation using nasal prongs. Despite describing a single case, the results obtained were promising. However, studies with a larger sample and different groups are needed, primarily to compare with existing methods.
Training physiotherapists in primary care: reflections on teaching-service integration
Authors: Bim Cíntia Raquel , González Alberto Durán
Published: July 2020

Abstract Introduction: Teaching-service integration contributes to the quality training of healthcare professionals. Objective: This study aimed to analyze the relationship between practicing physiotherapists, teachers and students in physiotherapy training in primary care, from the perspective of the professionals. Method: This is a qualitative study that used a semi-structured interview for data collection and discourse analysis as a methodological framework to analyze the interviews. Interviewees were nineteen physiotherapists who work at basic health units (BHUs) in a large municipality in Paraná state, Brazil. Results: Only six of the nineteen physiotherapists receive or have received students in the workplace. Higher education institutions that offer degrees in physical therapy have yet to harness the full potential of practical physiotherapy training in primary care in the municipality studied. The professionals who received or have received students in the workplace highlighted shortcomings in teaching-service integration, such as the lack of collaboration with teachers in terms of planning and student assessment. Conclusion: There is a need for closer ties between managers, health care professionals, teachers and students in order to improve teaching-service integration and provide physiotherapy training that complies with curriculum guidelines and the principles and policies of the National Health System (SUS).

Published: July 2020

Abstract Introduction: Excessive pronation has been linked to increased risk of developing lower limb injuries. In this respect, assessing the effectiveness of therapeutic resources, such as hyperelastic taping, becomes relevant. Objective: evaluate the influence of adhesive hyperelastic taping on excessive pronation of the ankle-foot complex in young women. Method: Self-controlled clinical trial of ten women with excessive pronation (Foot Posture Index ≥ 6). Three-dimensional gait was assessed according to the Vicon Oxford Foot Model before and after taping. Hyperelastic tape was applied on the side with greater pronation (experimental side) and the opposite side was used as control (control side). The segments evaluated were the hindfoot, midfoot and forefoot. The Shapiro-Wilk normality, paired t and Wilcoxon tests were applied and Significance was set at p <0.05. Results: No change (p> 0.05) was observed in the hindfoot on the experimental or control side; the midfoot showed a decrease in arch height (p <0.05) only on the experimental side; forefoot eversion (p <0.05) declined only on the experimental side. Conclusion: The use of hyperelastic tape reduced forefoot eversion; however, this decrease is not clinically desirable, since excessive pronation in a closed chain increased in the sample of young women studied.

Published: July 2020

Abstract Introduction: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is defined as loss of kidney function, but its progression leads to systemic changes that compromise the quality of life of patients on dialysis. As such, the decline in lung capacity in this population may be one of the factors related to reduced peripheral muscle strength. Objective: Assess the relationship between handgrip strength (HGS), pulmonary function and respiratory muscle strength in patients with CKD on hemodialysis. Method: Thirty patients with CKD were assessed in terms of anthropometric data, pulmonary function, respiratory muscle strength and HGS. Results: A moderate association was observed between HGS and the variables forced vital capacity (r=0.54; p=0.002), maximum voluntary ventilation (r=0.51; p=0.004) and maximum expiratory pressure (r=0.59; p=0.001), and a weak association with forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) (r=0.46; p=0.009) and maximum inspiratory pressure (r=0.38; p=0.03). Additionally, about 67% of the sample (n=20) exhibited some degree of restrictive ventilatory defect in the pulmonary function test. With respect to muscle strength, 40% of the sample (n=12) displayed below-normal handgrip strength, as well as low mean MIP and MEP. Conclusion: Decreased lung capacity may be related to a decline in HGS in patients with chronic kidney disease on hemodialysis. Thus, therapeutic strategies aimed at lung expansion and respiratory muscle training may contribute to facilitating and favoring rehabilitation in this population.

Abstract Introduction: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a global public health problem with systemic repercussions, compromising muscle function and making patients less exercise tolerant. Objective: To verify the contribution of peripheral muscle strength in the exercise capacity of patients in hemodialysis (HD), as well as to compare peripheral muscle strength and exercise capacity between renal patients and healthy individuals. Method: 50 patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) who performed HD and 13 healthy subjects underwent anthropometric evaluation, evaluation of peripheral muscle strength, pulmonary function test and exercise capacity assessment. Results: Simple linear regression indicated that the peripheral muscle strength contributed 41.4% to the distance walked in the six-minute walk test (R2 0.414; p < 0.001), showing that for every 1 Kgf reduced in the right lower limb the patient it stops walking 0.5m while for every 1 Kgf reduced in the lower left limb the patient stops walking 0.8m. In addition, it was observed that patients with CKD had a reduction in right lower limb muscle strength (129.44 ± 48.05 vs. 169.36 ± 44.30, p = 0.002), left (136.12 ± 52, 08 vs 168.40 ± 43.35, p = 0.01) and exercise capacity (421.20 ± 98.07 vs. 611.28 ± 80.91, p < 0.001) when compared to healthy pairs. Conclusion: Peripheral muscle weakness is an important limiting factor for exercise in CKD and patients on HD experience a decline in peripheral muscle strength and exercise capacity when compared to healthy individuals.

RESUMO Objetivo: um dos fatores relacionados às capacidades dinâmicas é a capacidade de absorção e, até agora, trabalhos empíricos sobre capacidades foram conduzidos majoritariamente com empresas de grande porte e pouco se sabe sobre como ocorrem em startups. Nesse contexto, o objetivo deste trabalho é fornecer uma compreensão de como a capacidade de absorção ocorre em startups que mantêm relacionamentos interorganizacionais com grandes empresas. Método: a pesquisa utilizou um desenho qualitativo de estudo de casos múltiplos e a investigação de sete startups constituiu o corpus de estudo. Os dados foram analisados com uso de análise estatística, análise de conteúdo e análise de processos de negócio. Resultados: a inter-relação de startups com grandes empresas em programas de aceleração potencializa o desenvolvimento de capacidades para as startups, pois facilita o acesso e a assimilação de conhecimento. Já a transformação e exploração de conhecimento auxiliam a modificação da estrutura, de processos e de recursos das startups para atender à grande empresa, e o desenvolvimento de novos produtos e serviços para o mercado ocorre de forma modesta e incremental. Conclusões: o estudo evidencia como as ações formais dos programas de aceleração corporativa de grandes empresas contribuem para o desenvolvimento de capacidade de absorção em startups.
Vale S.A.: Cobalt Streaming

Published: July 2020

ABSTRACT The case “Vale S.A. — Cobalt Streaming” describes a transaction that has taken place at Vale, a Brazilian mining company, and one of the most important in its segment. The transaction was developed to de-risk an important project for an expansion of a mine in the province of Newfoundland & Labrador in Canada. By streaming the cobalt production, Vale was able to get a competitive internal rate of return for the project compared to the lower level of risk the project would then offer. The case detailed the negotiation since the beginning until the company faced the challenge of choosing from the final proposals. The case allows the discussion of important aspects regarding project valuation: risk mitigation through the streaming negotiation, several different types of risk influencing the main issue of the case, decisions about the assumptions used, discussion about debt/equity characteristics on the overall project from Vale’s perspectives, and the evaluation of a project with non-conventional cash flow, given a substantial upfront revenue due to the streaming contract. So, the case is recommended for the disciplines of Financial Management, Project Valuation, or Risk Analysis in post-graduate courses of Business Administration and Finance.
Briefing: Embedding transdisciplinarity in engineering approaches to infrastructure and cities
Authors: Leach Joanne M , Rogers Chris D F
Published: July 2020

Many of the specialisms on which infrastructure and cities rely for their effective design, construction, operation, governance, management and maintenance are underpinned by the principles of certainty, accuracy, precision and prediction. Not least of these is civil engineering. Yet infrastructures and cities are characterised by complexity and emergence. In recent decades, understandings of infrastructures and cities have begun to reflect these properties, and in particular, transdisciplinarity is promoted as critical to advancing these new understandings. However, this presents conceptual and operational challenges for civil engineering, as there is a fundamental mismatch between the certainty, accuracy and precision required by engineers and the complexity and emergence of transdisciplinary research approaches. The forms of value arising from these research approaches are themselves contentious, leaving engineers exposed to competing claims and making them ill prepared to exploit new insights to full advantage. This briefing explores these mismatches and contentions and proposes a set of four principles that underpin successful transdisciplinary research, laying the foundation for transforming research in infrastructure and cities by leveraging emergent, transdisciplinary approaches.
Using Microsoft© Power BI© to visualise Rustenburg Local Municipality’s Air Quality Data
Authors: Wright Caradee Yael , Wernecke Bianca
Published: July 2020

Microsoft© Power BI© is a business analytics tool that visualises data in an accessible manner. It creates visual data reports quickly in a series of panels to give an overview of data while still offering access to more sophisticated visualisation methods too. Here, we explored the use of Power BI Desktop© to visualise and interpret air quality data for the Rustenburg Local Municipality. Rustenburg is located in the Waterberg-Bojanala Priority Area – the third air pollution priority area for air quality management. Ambient PM10 data for three cities, namely, Thlabane, Marikana and Boiketlong, were obtained for six years (2013-2018). Data underwent quality control before being imported into Power BI©. A four-panel dashboard was generated to show (in) compliance with the daily and annual average South African National Ambient Air Quality Standard for PM10, annual and average concentrations, frequency of exceedances and a summary of data availability by site. Generally, PM10 data quantity and quality were poor and where data were available, concentrations were high. This type of data visualisation tool can be applied with relative ease by Air Quality Officers and Environmental Health Practitioners for a snapshot overview of the air quality in their area of jurisdiction. The interactive dashboard is also useful for making graphics for policy documents and reports.
The Translation of Sex-related Content in Lady Chatterley’s Lover in China
Authors: Zhu Kun
Published: July 2020

This article discusses how sex-related content is rendered in two Chinese translations of D. H. Lawrence’s Lady Chatterley’s Lover: Rao Shuyi (1936) and Zhao Susu (2004). It is found that Rao’s translation features explicitness, flexibility and Europeanization, while Zhao’s translation features conservativeness and domestication. And the observed features in the two translations regarding sex-related content are explained from perspectives of social and historical background, translation purpose and intended readership, and patronage.
