BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES:

We recently reported the short-term results of this trial revealing that higher-calorie refeeding (HCR) restored medical stability earlier, with no increase in safety events and significant savings associated with shorter length of stay, in comparison with lower-calorie refeeding (LCR) in hospitalized adolescents with anorexia nervosa. Here, we report the 1-year outcomes, including rates of clinical remission and rehospitalizations.

METHODS:

In this multicenter, randomized controlled trial, eligible patients admitted for medical instability to 2 tertiary care eating disorder programs were randomly assigned to HCR (2000 kcals per day, increasing by 200 kcals per day) or LCR (1400 kcals per day, increasing by 200 kcals every other day) within 24 hours of admission and followed-up at 10 days and 1, 3, 6, and 12 months post discharge. Clinical remission at 12 months post discharge was defined as weight restoration (≥95% median BMI) plus psychological recovery. With generalized linear mixed effect models, we examined differences in clinical remission over time.

RESULTS:

Of 120 enrollees, 111 were included in modified intent-to-treat analyses, 60 received HCR, and 51 received LCR. Clinical remission rates changed over time in both groups, with no evidence of significant group differences (P = .42). Medical rehospitalization rates within 1-year post discharge (32.8% [19 of 58] vs 35.4% [17 of 48], P = .84), number of rehospitalizations (2.4 [SD: 2.2] vs 2.0 [SD: 1.6]; P = .52), and total number of days rehospitalized (6.0 [SD: 14.8] vs 5.1 [SD: 10.3] days; P = .81) did not differ by HCR versus LCR.

CONCLUSIONS:

The finding that clinical remission and medical rehospitalization did not differ over 1-year, in conjunction with the end-of-treatment outcomes, support the superior efficacy of HCR as compared with LCR.

Published: March 2021

Este artigo tem como principal objetivo a análise da atuação do poder público durante a Pandemia do Covid-19, na perspectiva do movimento indígena, no Amazonas. Explora os principais desdobramentos desta conjuntura na atuação do Estado em relação à questão indígena, atualmente. Discute os desafios dos povos originários no enfrentamento da pandemia, na luta pelos direitos à terra e à saúde pública. A partir da análise de entrevistas remotas (por smartphone) e análise do discurso (com uso da técnica de nuvem de palavras)3 foi realizada a interpretação das expressões utilizadas para descrever o tratamento indigno recebido pelos povos indígenas, por parte dos agentes do poder público, no período inicial da pandemia, desde o momento anterior ao pico – abril/maio 2020. Os agentes públicos baseiam sua atuação no projeto das classes dominantes e os povos indígenas são profundamente atingidos pela inércia do poder público. A regressão e negação dos seus direitos representa um convite para o acirramento de conflitos, até o ponto de ruptura, tanto nos territórios ancestrais, como nos espaços urbanos, de ocupação mais recente.

Published: March 2021

Introduction: Vasoactive intestinal peptide-secreting tumor (VIPoma) is a rare functional pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor (F-PNET) characterized by secretory diarrhea, hypokalemia, and hypochlorhydria. Its low incidence and high risk of malignancy pose a clinical challenge that requires a high degree of clinical suspicion.
Case presentation: A 61-year-old woman visited the emergency department of a tertiary care hospital in Medellín, Colombia, due to chronic diarrhea (7 months) that led to dehydration, renal failure, metabolic acidosis, and hypokalemia. As a result, a treatment based on loperamide, intravenous fluids and broad-spectrum antibiotics was started. In addition, chromogranin A levels of 477 ug/L (<100) were reported, while an abdominal MRI showed a 33x30mm mass in the head and uncinate process of the pancreas, so outpatient surgical management was decided. However, three days after discharge, and due to the persistence of clinical signs, the patient was admitted to another hospital (also a tertiary care hospital), where, given the high suspicion of VIPoma, and once the diarrhea was solved, the mass was removed (Whipple procedure) without any complication. Finally, the diagnosis was confirmed based on serum vasoactive intestinal peptide levels (930 pg/mL (RV<75)) and the pathology report (PNET tumor grade 2). Two years after the surgery, the patient was asymptomatic, and no residual lesions or metastases were evident in a control MRI.
Conclusion: Late diagnosis of VIPoma is associated with worsened quality of life, severe complications, and high prevalence of metastasis. Therefore, it should be suspected in patients with chronic secretory diarrhea that is not caused by an infection, since early diagnosis and timely treatment can contribute to achieving better survival rates in these patients.

Introduction. A search for effective educational strategies that can form and maintain Chinese national identity is a highly relevant task for the Chinese academic community. Secondary school textbooks’ content revision has become one of the ways to solve the problem. The purpose of the article is to analyze the complex of educational and methodological materials within the framework of school education, aimed at influencing the formation of national identity in China. Materials and Methods. To study the problem, we conducted a survey, in which schoolteachers and parents of schoolchildren from the city of Lanzhou (PRC) took part. In order to identify the views of these two communities regarding the impact of the updated textbook content on the emerging identity of schoolchildren, we analyzed the personal data, and to understand the learning outcomes, we examined in detail the content and structure of new textual narratives, comparing them with previous educational materials. This helped us to identify a mechanism for developing lessons using the corpus of cultural and historical heritage, which was the essence of the reform aimed at shaping national priorities in the identity of the younger generation. Owing to the chosen methods, we were able to better understand and comprehend the role that ideological education is designed to play in the conditions of modern China. Results. The analysis showed that the updated textbooks reflect the main discourses of Confucian philosophy, fostering cultural and political identity in students. The survey showed that the increased national discourse in the content-factual part of textbooks facilitated the fostering of national identity among schoolchildren. Discussion and Conclusion. The materials of this article can be used for further research of the educational process and its influence on the development of civil society cohesion. This can be useful for polyethnic states in terms of strategic planning and development of mechanisms of construction and maintenance of national identity when drawing up educational textbooks. The results of this study may also be of interest to researchers dealing with educational problems and considering education as one of the elements that play an important role in the formation of national identity, as well as for teachers and students.

Introduction. The adequate professional and psychological-methodology training of teachers is of major importance in teaching a foreign language to learners who have health impairment. In spite of the numeral works published in Russia and abroad which cover various aspects of this problem the given article is the first to do the detailed analysis of teachers’ survey in order to reveal the knowledge, competences and skills necessary for their effective work in inclusive classes. The aim of the article is to develop a teacher training/retraining programme, which is based on the state professional educator standard and able to make teachers ready to work with learners who have health impairment.
Materials and Methods. Methodology of the research represented is a combination of critical overview of works by Russian and foreign authors, other relative materials and detailed analysis of the results obtained through query of university and school teachers which was necessary for working out a relative teacher training programme that will make them ready to work in inclusive classes. 30 teachers took part in the survey.
Results. As a final product of the research done on the basis of accurate analysis of theoretical resources and results of the survey a conceptual framework of teacher’s knowledge and skills necessary for effective work in inclusive class was developed by the authors. They also produced a teacher training programme, criteria and forms for assessing teacher’s acquisition of the programme being included.
Discussion and Conclusion. The teacher training course developed by the authors is the relative contribution to the development of Psychology and Pedagogy of teaching foreign languages. It is essential that the programme is a model that can be adapted according to the interests of a potential target audience of educators. The course should help reshape the general competences as defined by the existing standard of teacher training so as to build up specific skills pertaining to teaching SEN learners inclusively. It should be an integral part of contemporary teacher pre-service preparation.
RAUMPOETISCHE ASPEKTE DES TRANSITORISCHEN IN PÉTER NÁDAS’ PARALLELGESCHICHTEN
Authors: KENDERESY ANNA
Published: March 2021

Der Aufsatz analysiert Péter Nádas’ RomanParallelgeschichtenmit Blick auf die Poetik des Raumes. Die Frage nach der Behandlung von Raum und Zeit im Text wird anhand des Motivs des Durchgangs gestellt, der in der Darstellung der Wohnungen eine zentrale Rolle spielt. Durch die detaillierte Schilderung von Zwischenräumen wie dem Entrée und dem Vorraum setzt sich nämlich der Erzähler mit jenen historischen Bezügen von privaten Räumen auseinander, die auf die Wahrnehmungen und Erinnerungsprozesse der Figuren einwirken. Hier erscheinen die funktionslos gewordenen transitorischen Räume als Reste der allmählich entschwindenden bürgerlichen Welt und fallen aus dem einheitlichen Schema der Wohnungseinrichtungen, wodurch der vertraute, Sicherheitsgefühl verströmende Charakter der letzteren angegriﬀen wird. Es wird gezeigt, dass die Durchgänge im Roman somit zu bedrohenden, verstörenden Räumlichkeiten werden, in denen sich die hier orientierungslos werdenden Figuren gezwungen sehen, sich mit fernen Erinnerungen aus der unverarbeiteten Vergangenheit zu konfrontieren.

ABSTRACT Background: Studies with biomarkers in TMA (tissue microarray) have been showing important results regarding its expression in colon cancer. Aim: Correlate the expression profile of the OPN and ABCB5 biomarkers with the epidemiological and clinicopathological characteristics of the patients, the impact on the progression of the disease and the death. Method: A total of 122 CRC patients who underwent surgical resection, immunomarking and their relationship with progression and death events were evaluated. Result: The average age was 61.9 (±13.4) years. The cases were distributed in 42 (35.9%) in the ascending/transverse colon, 31 (26.5%) in the sigmoid, 27 in the rectum (23.1%), 17 (14.5%) in the descending colon. Most patients had advanced disease (stages III and IV) in 74 cases (60.9%). There was a predominance of moderately differentiated tumors in 101 samples (82.8%); despite this, the poorly differentiated subtype proved to be an independent risk factor for death in 70%. Metastasis to the liver proved to be an independent risk factor for death in 75% (18/24), as well as patients with primary rectal tumors in 81.5% (22/27). Conclusion: The immunohistochemical expression of the OPN and ABCB5 markers was not associated with epidemiological and clinicopathological characteristics. Regarding the progression of disease and death, it was not possible to observe a correspondence relationship with the evaluated markers.

Published: March 2021

ABSTRACT Background: Intestinal diversions have revolutionized the treatment of morbid obesity due to its viability and sustained response. However, experimental studies suggest, after these derivations, a higher risk of colon cancer. Aim: To analyze the histological and immunohistological changes that the jejunojejunal shunt can produce in the jejunum, ileum and ascending colon. Method: Twenty-four male Wistar rats were randomly divided into two groups, control (n=12) and experiment (n=12) and subdivided into groups of four. Nine weeks after the jejunojejunal shunt, segmental resection of the excluded jejunum, terminal ileum and ascending colon was performed. Histological analysis focused on the thickness of the mucosa, height of the villi, depth of the crypts and immunohistochemistry in the expression of Ki-67 and p53. Results: Significant differences were found between the experiment and control groups in relation to the thickness of the mucosa in the jejunum (p=0.011), in the ileum (p<0.001) and in the colon (p=0.027). There was also a significant difference in relation to the height of the villus in the ileum (p<0.001) and the depth of the crypts in the jejunum (p0.001). The results indicated that there is a significant difference between the groups regarding the expression of Ki-67 in the colon (p<0.001). No significant differences were found between the groups regarding the expression of Ki-67 in the jejunum and ileum. In the P53 evaluation, negative nuclear staining was found in all cases. Conclusion: The jejunojejunal deviation performed in the Roux-in-Y gastrojejunal bypass, predispose epithelial proliferative effects, causing an increase in the thickness of the mucosa, height of the villi and depth of the crypts of the jejunum, ileum and ascending colon.

Published: March 2021

ABSTRACT Objective: The aim of this study was to compare three teaching methods’ time and personnel requirements, and their effects on plaque and gingival indices. Methods: This study was a single-blind randomized controlled trial on fixed orthodontic appliance candidates (n = 90), assigned into a control group (n = 30) and two different study groups (n = 30 each). The control group received standard printed educational material and was assisted with verbal information. The study groups either received video-assisted or hands-on training about fixed orthodontic appliance and oral hygiene. The time requirements for all three educational interventions was recorded during the initial visit. The adequacy of oral hygiene was documented through plaque and gingival indices during the initial visit and eighth week of the treatment. The continuous variables were analyzed using 1-way ANOVA. Tukey HSD and Student t-tests were used for post-hoc comparisons (α?#8197;= 0.05). Also, a chi-square test was used for the analysis of categorical variables. Results: Standard education failed to maintain the plaque and gingival indices at the eighth week of the treatment. Although both video-assisted and hands-on training took a considerable amount of time, they served well in preserving both of the indices at the eighth week. The longer the educational intervention was, the better the preservation of the plaque and gingival indices. Conclusion: Educational intervention, either with video-assisted or hands-on programs, provided better results in oral hygiene depending on the time and personnel constraints of the orthodontist.

ABSTRACT Objective: Assess the influence of mono- and bicortical anchorage and diameter of mini-implants (MIs) on the primary stability of these devices. Methods: 60 self-drilling MIs were distributed in six groups according to diameter (1.5mm, 1.8mm or 2.0mm) and type of anchorage (monocortical and bicortical) in bovine rib. The primary stability was evaluated by insertion torque, micromobility and pull-out strength tests. ANOVA and/or Tukey analysis were used to conduct intergroup comparisons (p< 0.05). Non-parametric statistics (Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney) were performed when normality was not found (p< 0.05). Results: MIs with larger diameters and bicortical anchorage showed greater primary stability regarding insertion torque (p< 0.05) and micromobility (p< 0.05). Only MI diameter had an effect on the pull-out strength test. Larger diameter MIs presented better retention in pull-out strength tests (p< 0.001), regardless of mono- or bicortical anchorage. Conclusions: MI primary stability is dependent on its diameter and type of anchorage. Bicortical anchorage showed greater stability when compared with monocortical anchorage, independently of other variables.
Vivendo na terra do meio: o mito apurinã revelando a realidade histórica
Authors: Link Rogério Sávio
Published: March 2021

RESUMO Este artigo tem como objetivo evidenciar a materialidade histórica vivida pelo povo Apurinã a partir de sua cosmologia; ou seja, se a cosmologia presente em suas narrativas míticas registra aspectos da historicidade apurinã. A hipótese do artigo é que a cosmovisão apurinã que os situa como um “povo do meio” tem sua origem na imanência histórica e, como tal, sofreu mudanças na longa duração. Transformando-se em transcendência teológica, a narrativa preservou traços da historicidade que podem ajudar a interpretar a história do povo Apurinã e a história regional. O artigo está construído a partir de uma discussão bibliográfica específica, mas também utiliza fontes históricas dos primeiros contatos e se baseia em observações de campo.

Published: March 2021

The aim of this study to determine the usability of CTAB-RGO composites in the removal of MB from aqueous solutions and to investigate the stability of composites in the aqueous dispersions. And also, we compared the effects of three different CTAB concentrations on the decolorization of MB. The CTAB-RGO composites performed increasing decolorization activity, decreasing average particle size and resulting individual graphene layers with the increasing CTAB concentration. CTAB-RG0 with 40 and 80 mg/L composites were unstable, RGO and CTAB-RGO with 120 mg/L had good stability in the aqueous solutions. Effective repulsive forces of CTAB-RGO-120 composite prevented to forming graphene aggregates. The highest decolorization rate of CTAB-RGO-120 composite at neutral pH can result from both the electrostatic interaction and π-π interaction.
UMA PERSPECTIVA HISTÓRICA SOBRE O ÍON DE PLATÃO
Authors: De Andrade Hector Garcia
Published: March 2021

Este artigo apresenta um ponto de vista histórico sobre o diálogo platônico Íon, sendo considerada a diferença do papel exercido pelos poetas na sociedade grega arcaica em relação à recepção deles por Platão no período clássico, representados pela figura do rapsodo. A crítica direcionada pelo diálogo à tradição poética assinala um processo de laicização da poesia, dado o conflito entre os conceitos de entusiasmo e de téchne presentes no diálogo e coexistentes na pólis clássica. À luz das transformações sociais por que passou a tradição poética, compreende-se a representação do rapsodo como uma deliberada contradição.

ПРОБЛЕМА СМЫСЛА ЖИЗНИ В РАБОТАХ РУССКИХ РЕЛИГИОЗНЫХ ФИЛОСОФОВ
Authors: Пономарев Петр Андреевич , Панычик Александр Владимирович
Published: March 2021

Целью исследования является анализ творчества русских религиозных философов конца ХIХ – начала ХХ века, посвященного проблеме смысла жизни.

Теоретико-методологические основы исследования обусловлены приверженностью авторов к религиозно-идеалистическому пониманию бытия человека. В статье использован системный подход, позволивший рассмотреть концепции смысла жизни в русской религиозной философии как взаимосвязи элементов в системе отношений «человек – мир – Бог». Использование аналитического метода способствовало определению подходов религиозных философов к трактовке проблемы с учетом эволюции их мировоззрений. Диалектический метод обеспечил всестороннее рассмотрение причинно-следственных связей явлений и процессов в динамике их развития. Принцип историзма обеспечил реконструкцию развития концепции смысла жизни в работах русских религиозных философов, что позволило рассмотреть в единстве историческое и логическое.

Результаты исследования. В условиях кризиса общественной морали, навязываемой средствами массовой коммуникации идеологии быстрого обогащения и потребления, христианский смысл жизни, концептуально обоснованный русскими религиозными философами, должен стать духовной базой консолидации и солидарности людей на основе признаваемых ими конечных смыслов универсума.

Перспективу исследования составляет дальнейший анализ творчества русских религиозных философов.

The comparative analysis of the main approaches to the reasons for the home bias is explored. The main factors of home bias are identified. The reasons for the existence of home bias are determined on the basis of systematization of the existing discourse. The main stages of the evolution of approaches to determining the reasons for home bias are identified. It was found that the most promising approach is the behaviourist approach, as well as the institutional approach and the transaction costs approach. The historical and current dynamics of the home bias in the investment portfolios of different countries is studied. A comparative analysis of the home bias for different groups of countries according to their level of economic development is carried out. It was found that developed countries have the lowest share of local market assets in the portfolio. The evolution of approaches to the home bias has been studied. The main scientific publications on the issue of home bias in the historical perspective are analysed and systematized. The main quantitative dimensions of the expression of home bias are highlighted. The main forms of quantitative expression of home bias, which received relative expression in the form of indices, are studied. The qualitative and quantitative composition of modern investment portfolios of the countries with the largest shares in the world market capitalization is studied and analysed. It has been found that there are countries with traditionally low and high levels of international diversification, such as China and Luxembourg, respectively.
THE BELT AND ROAD INITIATIVE: THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE CHINESE RAILWAY EXPRESS TRAINS
Authors: Chan Man Hung Thomas
Published: March 2021

Introduction. Belt and Road Initiative of China is not something novel. It is the present-day continuation of the millennium-old Eurasian Silk Road that had been disrupted by the colonial expansion of the European powers. After the Cold War even the US and EU have attempted to restore the old Silk Road but with limited success. It was only in 2013 when the Chinese Government announced the Initiative that the world, not just the great powers, has begun once again to speak and think of the revival of the old Silk Road with enthusiasm.

DEVELOPMENT AND ANALYSIS OF INVERTED-V MPPT TECHNIQUE FOR PHOTOVOLTAIC SYSTEM
Authors: Megha Chambyal Sheilza Jaina,
Published: March 2021

Three main factors which affect the efficiency of any Photovoltaic system are, the efficiency of the Photovoltaic pane used, efficiency of the inverter used and efficiency of the maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithm used. MPPT techniques are widely used in the Photovoltaic (PV) system to extract the maximum power from the Photovoltaic system. MPPT aims that in any environmental conditions i.e for any irradiation or temperature, maximum possible energy is extracted from PV systems.

Published: March 2021

Image Processing is a significantly desirable in commercial, industrial, and medical applications. Processor based architectures are inappropriate for real time applications as Image processing algorithms are quite intensive in terms of computations. To reduce latency and limitation in performance due to limited amount of memory and fixed clock frequency for synthesis in processor-based architecture, FPGA can be used in smart devices for implementing real time image processing applications. To increase speed of real time image processing custom overlays (Hardware Library of programmable logic circuit) can be designed to run on FPGA fabric. The IP core generated by the HLS (High Level Synthesis) can be implemented on a reconfigurable platform which allows effective utilization of channel bandwidth and storage. In this paper we have presented FPGA overlay design for color transformation function using Xilinx’s python productivity board PYNQ-Z2 to get benefit in performance over a traditional processor. Performance comparison of custom overlay on FPGA and Processor based platform shows FPGA execution yields minimum computation time.

In the coming years, common units of measuring data viz. kilobytes, megabytes, gigabytes, or even terabytes will begin to appear quainter as the entire digital universe is expected to produce approximately 463 Exabyte’s of data every 24 hours worldwide. This omnipresent data is potentially knowledge-rich. Unprocessed data can be excavated for hidden information. Essentially, the quality of the output depends on the quality of input data. Alternately, a good analysis of faulty/bad data cannot result in meaningful outputs. The global challenge that arises during data analysis is the quality of data. Data quality is not intentionally reduced by unscrupulous systemic elements as inconsistencies have an uncanny way of creeping in due to various factors. The importance of data allows organizations to measure past performance quantitatively as well as to quantitatively ascertain present capabilities and thereby plan for future performance targets, leading to the study of data inconsistencies. This paper presents a conceptual outline of various categories and types of data inconsistencies, extending it further to briefly explain the data processing life cycle and the sources of data inconsistencies.

Fruit disease causes more economic losses in agricultural industry. In prediction of disease image pre-processing plays an important role. Fruits may appear healthy and fresh to human eye but its quality is known by customer after eating the fruits. Images are used to forecast quality of the fruits and vegetables, but accuracy of grading will be affected by distortion. Various noise affect the quality of the image and it can be denoised by various filters. The preservative edges, background information and contrast of images are the challenging issues in exiting filtering methods. This research proposed Spiral Seed Filter (SSF) to increase the quality of the tomato fruit image by extracting the luma variance and by applying the row wise and column wise 3x3 cross correlation. The result shows that the proposed filter increases the PSNR (Peak Signal to Noise ratio) and reduces MSE (Mean Square Error) metric values and yield good results. It gives highest PSNR value such as 94.68. It gives 0.0001 as MSE value for proposed method.

Published: March 2021

Governance is defined as the exercise of economic, political and administrative authority to manage a country’s affairs at all levels. It comprises mechanisms, processes and institutions, through which citizens and groups articulate their interests, exercise their legal rights meet their obligations and mediate their differences.  Thus, governance can be summed up as a process through which authority in a country is exercised (UNDP, 1997; UNESCO, 2012). Development linked governance has been an issue much debated about in the contemporary world. Since the second half of the 1980’s, growth and development studies have started to shed light on the importance of improving institutions of governance on economic growth. Good institutions, good governance and good leadership are considered by many authors as necessary conditions to support the development effort of a country or region. Good governance is believed to be the single most important factor in eradicating poverty and promoting development, hence, the countries that have a higher rank in the world governance index are often found to be in a higher rank in the other aspects of development.

There are several pathways through which governance and its various dimensions can impact a country’s economic growth, therefore, in this paper all the key issues related to governance has been discussed which are indispensable for the development of a nation.
Efficient Approach of Automatic Speech Emotion Recognition (ASR) Using Mutual Information
Authors: Rajiv Ranjan Tewari Shivangi Srivastav,
Published: March 2021

Speech is a significant quality for distinguishing a person in daily human to human interaction/ communication. Like other biometric measures, such as face, iris and fingerprints, voice can therefore be used as a biometric measure for perceiving or identifying the person. Speaker recognition is almost the same as a kind of voice recognition in which the speaker is identified from the expression instead of the message. Automatic Speaker Recognition (ASR) is the way to identify people who rely on highlights that are omitted from speech expressions. Speech signals are awesome correspondence media that constantly pass on rich and useful knowledge, such as a speaker's feeling, sexual orientation, complement, and other interesting attributes. In any speaker identification, the essential task is to delete helpful highlights and allow for significant examples of speaker models.

Hypothetical description, organization of the full state of feeling and the modalities of articulation of feeling are added. A SER framework is developed to conduct this investigation, in view of different classifiers and different techniques for extracting highlights. In this work various machine learning algorithms are investigated to identify decision boundary in feature space of audio signals. Moreover novelty of this art lies in improving the performance of classical machine learning algorithms using information theory based feature selection methods. The higher accuracy retrieved is 96 percent using Random forest algorithm incorporated with Joint Mutual information feature selection method.
