“No kind of reading is so generally interesting as biography”: Establishing Narratives for Haydn and Mozart in the Second and Third Decades of the Nineteenth Century
Authors: Keefe Simon P.
Published: November 2020

Very little critical attention has been directed toward biographical writings on Haydn and Mozart in the second and third decades of the nineteenth century, following the first wave of work by Friedrich Schlichtegroll and Franz Niemetschek (for Mozart, 1793, 1798) and Georg August Griesinger and Albert Dies (for Haydn, 1809, 1810). Examining varied biographically oriented materials in books, short profiles, anecdotes, and fiction, this article establishes contrasting narratives for the two composers during this period: Mozart was regarded as thoroughly immersed in music from beginning to end, born into it as an infant prodigy and dying in the act of writing it for the Requiem, encapsulating a unified life and oeuvre; and Haydn embraced a rags-to-riches, triumph-over-adversity story—poor at birth and in his youth but eventually feted as one of Western music's greatest figures—with full-fledged life-work alignment at death potentially compromised by a perceived decline in compositional powers toward the end. The article also traces influences of one narrative on the other, especially Mozart's on Haydn, including through accounts of Haydn's Creation and death. By explaining the diverging and converging narratives associated with Haydn and Mozart, I identify the second and third decades of the nineteenth century not as a protracted biographical cold spot but rather as a springboard and inspiration for future scholarly endeavor, including the serious, extended studies of Georg von Nissen, Alexandre Oulibicheff, and Otto Jahn (1828, 1843, and 1856 respectively).

Published: November 2020

OBJECTIVES:

We sought to prioritize interventions for increasing human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination coverage based on cost-effectiveness from a US state perspective to inform decisions by policy makers.

METHODS:

We developed a dynamic simulation model of HPV transmission and progression scaled to a medium-sized US state (5 million individuals). We modeled outcomes over 50 years comparing no intervention to a one-year implementation of centralized reminder and recall for HPV vaccination, school-located HPV vaccination, or quality improvement (QI) visits to primary care clinics. We used probabilistic sensitivity analysis to assess a range of plausible outcomes associated with each intervention. Cost-effectiveness was evaluated relative to a conservative willingness-to-pay threshold; $50 000 per quality-adjusted life-year (QALY) .

RESULTS:

All interventions were cost-effective, relative to no intervention. QI visits had the lowest cost and cost per QALY gained ($1538 versus no intervention). Statewide implementation of centralized reminder and recall cost $28 289 per QALY gained versus QI visits. School-located vaccination had the highest cost but was cost-effective at $18 337 per QALY gained versus QI visits. Scaling to the US population, interventions could avert 3000 to 14 000 future HPV cancers. When varying intervention cost and impact over feasible ranges, interventions were typically preferred to no intervention, but cost-effectiveness varied between intervention strategies.

CONCLUSIONS:

Three interventions for increasing HPV vaccine coverage were cost-effective and offered substantial health benefits. Policy makers seeking to increase HPV vaccination should, at minimum, dedicate additional funding for QI visits, which are consistently effective at low cost and may additionally consider more resource-intensive interventions (reminder and recall or school-located vaccination).

Sexual experience among postmenopausal women in Yogyakarta: a qualitative study
Authors: Vidayanti Venny , Retnaningsih Listyana Natalia
Published: November 2020

Background: Women in the postmenopausal period will experience a hormonal shift that makes them facing difficulties ranging from symptoms to complication. Vaginal dryness, hot flashes, decreased thinned vaginal mucosa may cause painful intercourse. This problem may adversely affect sexual activity among postmenopausal women such as a decrease in libido or sexual desire, inability to reach orgasm, pain during sexual intercourse, and fatigue. This study aims to explore the sexual experience among postmenopausal women in a rural area in Yogyakarta.Methods: This was a descriptive qualitative study. Twelve participants aged 50-60 years old who met the criteria, were purposively enrolled in this study. Individual face to face, semi-structured and in-depth interviews were performed for data collection. All conversations were audio-recorded and transcribed. We employed a conventional content analysis to derive coding categories from raw data.Results: Three main themes emerged from data analysis: (1)â€œnegative changes in sexual functionâ€ (decreased in frequency of sex, low libido, vaginal dryness, anorgasmia, and fatigue), (2)â€ intimacy with the coupleâ€ (couple communication and romance, lack of physical intimacy),Â  (3)â€ coping with the symptoms in postmenopausal periodâ€ (acceptance of negative changes in sexual function, improve healthy diet and physical activity).Conclusion: Postmenopausal women experienced negative changes in sexual function. Most of them related to the lack of intimacy with the couple and having a positive coping strategy to improve their sexual relationship. Health education intervention strategy is one of the alternative approaches to enhance womenâ€™s attitude and coping in the postmenopausal period.

Published: November 2020

Background: Delirium often occurs to the elderly, which is associated with inflammation, malnutrition and low activities of daily living (ADL). The reduced ADL is associated with poor outcomes and death. ADL is affected by malnutrition and inflammation. Albumin is a marker for malnutrition and inflammation, while the neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is a marker for inflammation. This study aims to determine the relationship between albumin serum levels and NLR to ADL in elderly delirium patients in Sanglah Hospital Denpasar.Methods: A cross-sectional correlative study among elderly delirium patients were conducted at Sanglah Hospital Denpasar from January to July 2018. The variables studied were albumin levels, NLR and ADL scores. Data analysis using SPSS version 23 with Pearson or Spearman correlation tests to determine the relationship between the variables examined.Results: Total of 73 patients were sampled. The average albumin levels were 3.35 gram/dL, the median NLR was 8.17 and the median ADL scores were 3. There was no significant relationship between albumin and ADL in elderly delirium patients (p=0.35, r=0.10), but a significant correlation was obtained between NLR and ADL scores (p=0.04, r=-0.24).Conclusion: Albumin did not significantly affect ADL. NLR was negatively correlated with ADL. The higher the NLR, the lower the ADL of elderly delirium patients.Â

Authors: Susanti Widia , Purwanto Bambang , Cilmiaty Risya , Prayitno Adi
Published: November 2020

Introduction: Periodontitis is an inflammation of periodontal tissue in which the attachment-forming ligament composed of collagen fibers is damaged. Inflammation is a scenario where oxidative stress is abundant which may worsen periodontitis. Antioxidant, such as astaxanthin, is needed to promote collagen fibers formation as a sign of healing.Objective: To explore whether astaxanthin has a desirable effect in the formation of collagen fibers in bacteria-triggered periodontitis in rats.Methods: An animal experimental study were conducted. There were 3 groups, each consisted of 8 rats: negative control, positive control, and treated group. The treated group received oral preparation of astaxanthin 0,54 mg/kg/day for 7 days. The rats were then sacrificed, and the periodontal tissue were made into paraffin-fixed 5 Âµm tick slides with hematoxylin eosin staining and trichromone masson to evaluate the collagen expression. The evaluation was carried out by a pathologist.Results: There is a significant difference of collagen expression level between the T and PC groups (p-value<0.05)Conclusion: There is a significant difference between the groups treated with astaxanthin and the group with periodontitis disease.

Background: Acute Rhinosinusitis is an inflammation of the paranasal sinuses and the nasal cavity lasting no longer than 6 weeks. One of the etiologies is the gram-negative bacteria, the lipopolysaccharide layer containing bacteria Escherichia coli. Lipopolysaccharide was the leading cause of inflammatory mechanisms, and subsequent Reactive Oxygen Species production was thought of as the agent that injure the cells thorough the oxidative stress. This study aimed to determine the effect of E-coli induction on the ratio of SOD and MDA levels in acute rhinosinusitis white rats model.Methods: This study used an experimental post-test only control group design with white rats strain that met the inclusion and exclusion criteria divided into two groups. The study includes 8 rats as control groups and 32 rats in the treatment group. Treatment includes induction of rhinosinusitis by E-coli. SOD and MDA levels measured from retro-orbital venous blood samples were measured as marker oxidative stress on 7th, 14th,21st, and 28th days. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 22 for Windows.Results: There were significant differences in SOD and MDA levels from day 7 to day 28 between the control and the intervention groups (p<0.001). The mean SOD levels on days 7, 14, 21, and 28, were lower than those of the control group. The MDA levels from day 7 to day 28 of the intervention group was significantly higher than that of the control group (p<0.001). Spearman Correlation test obtained a significant correlation between SOD and MDA levels (r = -0.604; p<0.001 on day 7 and r = -0.453; p< 0.003)Conclusion: There is a significant correlation between the effect of induced E coli on SOD and MDA levels in acute rhinosinusitis white rats models.

Published: November 2020

Background: In laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) cystic duct and cystic artery (CD-CA) are usually secured by using Titanium clips. Because of some complications may occur in application of clips; like dislodgement and migration of the clips, so other different techniques have been used, like intra or extracorporeal ligation, using of absorbable clips, harmonic scalpel or LigaSure. Intra-corporeal ligation takes more time than applying a clip, and it needs well training. In the other hand clipping have a challenge in cases with wide cystic duct. The objective of the study is to compare the efficacy and safety of suture ligation versus clipping, in securing CD-CA in LC, and also time difference of operations in both methods.Methods: A Prospective study included 94 females, and 32 males underwent LC; in 51Â patients CD-CA were secured by intra-corporeal ligation separately, and in 75Â patients CD-CA were secured by Titanium clips. Postoperatively the patients followed up in the outpatient clinic at the end of the first and second postoperative weeks for any complication.Results: There were no significant differences in the operation times between the two groups (p-value: 0.08), and also no significant difference found between the operation times and the different presentations, history of upper abdominal surgery, present of umbilical hernias, and different BMI. There was no per-operative bile duct injury and no postoperative bile leak, intraperitoneal collection, or jaundice, in both groups.Conclusion: Suture ligation for CD-CA is safe and effective. Learning intra-corporeal knotting is important and plays an important role even in addition to the use of the clipping, and should be the recommended training in basic laparoscopic surgery.

Introduction: The main objective of the surgical procedure is to achieve maximum resections with minimal functional neurological deficits for the patient with intrinsic tumors near the eloquent cortical area. The awake craniotomy procedure is currently the key option for achieving optimum safe resection. We report our two years of experience in establishing an awake craniotomy in the Kariadi General Hospital, evaluating the adoption of the technique and the outcome of the surgery.Methods: This is a retrospective study analyzed data from all patient's medical records, who have performed an awake craniotomy from January 2018 to January 2020 at Dr Kariadi General Hospital, Semarang, Indonesia. The specific anesthesia technique designated for this procedure was adopted.Â  Sonography was introduced to determine the border of the tumor before and after surgery. Phase reversal using the cortical grid was used to recognize the central sulcus, motor and sensory cortex. Cortical stimulation using a monopolar stimulator was used to recognize the eloquent region surrounding the tumor. Enbloc resection was done with a fully conscious patient as well as with careful neurological testing during surgery.Result: The pre-operative Karnofsky Performance Status (KPS) mean 63, with remarkable improvement to 70. The length of surgery was varying from 120 to 420 minutes with mean was 270 min. Our procedure was done for tumors situated in the Broca area in 3 cases, motor gyrus in 7 cases and premotor gyrus in 3 cases. None of the patients needed intensive post-operative care. Pathological findings show glioma in 9 patients, metastases in 3 patients and tuberculoma in 1 patient.Conclusion: Based on our experience, Awake craniotomy is a technique designed to preserve the eloquent cortex and improving our knowledge of the functional structure of brainÂ centers. Together with the neurosurgeon, neurophysiologist, neuro anesthesia, and operating room (OR) nurse team, these advanced neurosurgery procedures can be performed without hesitation in developing countries.

Stefan Wyszyński’s Personalistic Vision of Upbringing
Authors: Gruca-Miąsik Urszula , Parzyszek Magdalena
Published: November 2020

The personalistic concept of man, especially the one based on the philosophy of St. Thomas Aquinas, underscores the full autonomy of the human person, his freedom, the gradual discovery of the truth and good, and choices in accord with this cognition. The key issue in Stefan Wyszyński’s personalism is the integral vision of the human person. This personalism is a system of upbringing that respects the nature and value of man who ‘humanizes’ the world and expresses himself while constantly evolving. He gives a personal, social and dynamic character to the community in which he functions. He has a right to be brought up in keeping with his nature and ultimate destiny.
Deficit in Propriety? Cooperative Learning and Group Self-evaluation in Higher Education
Authors: Nedzinskaitė-Mačiūnienė Rasa , Minelgaite Inga , Gudjonsson Sigurdur
Published: November 2020

The aim of the article is to unveil how the application of the collaborative learning strategy in higher education (HE) setting combines self-assessment of group activities with peer-to-group and teacher evaluation. The results reveal that the groups’ self-evaluation is considerably more positively than evaluation by the teacher or peers. The antecedents of these results are likely embedded in 1) the cultural context with dominant individual values; 2) impact of business study as discipline, and: 3) challenges in implementing a collaborative learning strategy in the HE sector.

Published: November 2020

High medical adherence is a prerequisite for achieving goals in the treatment of hypertension (HTN). The majority of patients with HTN showed low adherence to treatment, which requires finding ways to solve this problem. This review describes the factors influencing adherence, ways of its assessment, and analyzes methods of increasing medical adherence in hypertensive patients. Noteworthy is the lack of publications describing the effectiveness of methods for increasing long-term (>2 years) adherence in hypertensive patients. The review also describes a not fully clear individualized approach, which consists in choosing a therapy regimen based on levels of medical adherence, medical follow-up and lifestyle modification.

Published: November 2020

Supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) is one of the most common arrhythmias. The prevalence of SVT varies widely in different countries and is 2,25 per 1,000 people in the general population. SVT reduce the quality of life of patients, and in some cases can worsen the prognosis. In patients with cardiovascular disease, the risk of SVT increases. Therapy of SVT is selected depending on the stability of hemodynamic and the QRS width. Until now, the treatment of SVT remains an urgent issue of modern cardiology, since despite the high effectiveness of catheter ablation, antiarrhythmic therapy plays an important role.

Published: November 2020

Resumo O SARS-CoV-2 é o responsável pela pandemia da COVID-19. O sistema imunológico é fator determinante no combate à infecção viral e, quando atua equilibrada e eficientemente, a doença é autolimitada e benigna. Uma parcela significativa da população, porém, apresenta resposta imune exacerbada. Os indivíduos diabéticos, hipertensos, obesos e com doenças cardiovasculares, infectados pelo vírus, apresentam maior chance de progredir para formas graves. Essas doenças estão relacionadas a processos inflamatórios crônicos e disfunção endotelial. Os receptores do tipo Toll estão presentes nas células de defesa e participam da imunopatologia de doenças cardiovasculares e metabólicas, levando à produção de citocinas pró-inflamatórias quando ativados. Devido à ação viral e à hiperativação do sistema imune, estados de hiperinflamação, hiperativação plaquetária, disfunção endotelial e hipercoagulabilidade são desenvolvidos, predispondo a tromboses venosas e arteriais. Discutiremos sobre a interação entre a COVID-19, a imunidade, o endotélio e a coagulação, como também sobre as possíveis causas de doenças cardiometabólicas impactarem negativamente na evolução da COVID-19.

Published: November 2020

ABSTRACT Purpose: For the stability of the organizational environment, corporate governance has become an indispensable condition. By adopting corporate governance codes, companies seek to compete differently in the market, valuing transparency as a guiding principle of relationships established in the various business segments. This article aims to compare the characteristics of corporate governance codes adopted by Latin American countries, including Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, Colombia, Chile, and Peru, through the set of practices recommended by the UN. Originality/value: The article studies the adoption of corporate governance codes adopted by Latin American countries, including Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, Colombia, Chile, and Peru. Design/methodology/approach: This is a qualitative and quantitative descriptive study. The data were analyzed in-depth using content analysis techniques and complemented by hierarchical cluster analysis, with the Ward method, using the Jaccard and the Russell and Rao methods. Findings: It was found that the corporate governance codes issued by Brazil, Colombia and Argentina converge with the UN guide. While the corporate governance code issued by Peru partially converges. The observed convergence suggests a concern with the demands of international investors. Finally, it was found that the corporate governance codes issued by Chile and Mexico have low convergence with the UN guide. This represents the lowest level of convergence between the countries investigated, indicating a greater concern with the local context than with international standards.

ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to understand how students graduating from accounting master’s courses perceived the feelings experienced in the different dissertation guidance phases. This investigation enables us to identify which stages generate negative feelings and to thus propose actions to improve the affective relationship between the advisor and student, considering that the feelings substantially affect the potential of the scientific works originating from that relationship. The advisor-student relationship and the feelings involved in it are among the main factors that positively or negatively affect the conclusion of the academic work, and understanding it is important in order to improve this interaction process. One of the implications of the research relates to the importance of stricto sensu programs monitoring the guidance process and somehow searching for mechanisms that promote harmony in the guidance process, as the experiences during the dissertation guidance process can affect the student’s likelihood of continuing on their academic journey. For the data collection, a survey was conducted in which the participants used emojis to represent the feelings experienced in their relationship with the advisor during the construction of their master’s dissertation. In addition, semi-structured interviews were carried out, which enabled the elaboration of a collective subject discourse regarding the feelings experienced during the dissertation guidance process. The 88 responses and eight interviews enabled the identification of feelings such as anxiety, fear, and insecurity in the first phases of the dissertation building. Abandonment, confusion, and frustration were felt in the last phases of the relationship with the advisor. Regarding the positive feelings, there are indications of joy, satisfaction, and calm, presenting greater frequency in the last stages of the dissertation. The collective subject discourses also indicated that the relationship with the advisor affected the quality of the scientific research and the student’s academic trajectory.
Fair design and use of the budgetary process and managerial performance

ABSTRACT This study analyzes the impacts of the fair design and use of the budgetary process, from the perspectives of formal and informal justice, on fairness judgments, on budgetary participation, and on managerial performance. Complementarily, it also analyzes the mediating effect. Research on the impacts of budgetary participation on managerial performance presents conflicting and inconclusive evidence. The studies on organizational justice, in turn, mainly focus on individual perceptions of justice, from a descriptive and perceptual perspective, not considering the normative approach, and treating justice rules and fairness judgments as synonymous. That segregation is relevant as it reinforces the importance of the fair design and use of the budgetary process, going beyond considering individual fairness judgments. The research revealed that the fair design and use of the budgetary process influence managerial performance; however, the individual perception of justice (fairness judgments) did not exert a direct influence. These findings are relevant because they highlight the impacts of justice in terms of the effects that a system generates, not only considering individual perceptions. A survey was conducted with a random sample of 110 managers chosen using the LinkedIn social network. For the data analysis, the structural equations modeling technique was applied. The study contributes to the literature that examines behavioral aspects of the relationship between budgetary participation and managerial performance, by seeking to understand in which conditions budgetary participation results in better performance. In this research, these relationships are analyzed in light of the foundations of justice, from the perspective of justice rules and fairness judgments. The evidence suggests that budgetary participation affects managerial performance when it results from the fair design and use of the budgetary process.

RESUMO O objetivo do presente estudo foi determinar a susceptibilidade dos folículos ovarianos, espermatozoides e embriões caprinos ao Vírus da Artrite Encefalite Caprina (CAEV). Para isto, foram analisados espermatozoides e folículos ovarianos pelas técnicas de imunohistoquímica e microscopia eletrônica de transmissão, antes e após protocolos de infecção in vitro com o CAEV. Foram submetidos à análise ultraestrutural, embriões caprinos produzidos in vivo, oriundos de cabras negativas e positivas para o CAEV. Nas amostras seminais, provenientes de animais tanto com infecção natural quanto dos artificialmente infectados, foi observada imunomarcação positiva dos espermatozoides, assim como alterações degenerativas na sua análise ultraestrutural. Já nas amostras de tecido ovariano, a imunomarcação foi mais discreta e identificada na região do estroma. No tocante à análise ultraestrutural, folículos e embriões se apresentaram íntegros. De acordo com esses resultados, pode-se concluir que os espermatozoides caprinos apresentaramse infectados, assinalando a susceptibilidade dessas células ao vírus, bem como a potencialidade do CAEV ser carreado ao cerne do oócito, originando embriões infectados.

RESUMO Ainda não há estudos precisos que quantifiquem os prejuízos decorrentes de infecção por oídio e/ou outras doenças foliares, para a maioria das culturas de importância econômica no Brasil. O objetivo foi quantificar as perdas causadas por oídio (Microsphaera diffusa) infectando a cultura da soja em diferentes estádios fenológicos e relacioná-las ao desenvolvimento e produtividade da cultura. O experimento foi desenvolvido em ambiente protegido, e os tratamentos foram testemunha controlada, testemunha sem controle, infecção iniciada em R1 – R2, infecção iniciada em R – R, infecção iniciada em R – R e infecção iniciada em R – R. A avaliação foi feita 345.15.25.35.4 semanalmente, considerando a porcentagem da área foliar infectada. Os resultados mostraram que, no tratamento em que houve infecções iniciadas em R1-R2 e R3-R4, a porcentagem de área foliar afetada foi maior (41% e 38%, respectivamente), com consequente menor produtividade (1.186,6 e 1.309,5 kg.ha-1 respectivamente). No tratamento em que a infecção ocorreu em R – R, houve 5.35.4 a menor média de área foliar afetada pela doença (24%) e a produtividade teve queda de 26%. Os resultados mostraram que as perdas de produtividade pelo oídio na cultivar Embrapa 48 variaram ao redor de 26 a 50%, e que a recomendação oficial para o início de controle do oídio da soja, quando esta se apresentar entre 40 e 50% de severidade, deve ser questionada e outros trabalhos neste âmbito devem ser desenvolvidos para determinação das perdas ocasionadas por esta doença na cultura.

Resumo: Introdução: A mentoria de pares tem sido reconhecida como uma das intervenções de suporte para o enfrentamento de um dos mais estressantes momentos para os estudantes - a transição para o ensino superior. Este estudo traz a experiência do primeiro ano de atividade de um programa de mentoria de pares realizado numa escola médica brasileira. Este estudo teve como objetivos descrever o processo do “fazer mentoria de pares” com calouros do curso médico e apresentar as satisfações e os desafios encontrados no caminho, assim como as sugestões para o aprimoramento da atividade. Método: Analisaram-se qualitativamente os feedbacks enviados ao longo do ano por veteranos que assumiram o papel de mentores. Os depoimentos foram sintetizados tendo por referencial o método do discurso do sujeito coletivo. Resultados: Os mentores realizaram ações de suporte acadêmico e pessoal, e também foram anfitriões do ambiente acadêmico. Os encontros presenciais foram de difícil realização, sendo complementados por encontros virtuais. Encontrar um horário comum e manter a periodicidade dos encontros foram os principais desafios. Desinteresse de alguns calouros e esvaziamento de demandas na segunda metade do ano geraram frustração. No entanto, os mentores observaram o crescimento dos calouros e o seu próprio desenvolvimento pessoal, expressando sentimentos de gratidão e satisfação com os vínculos afetivos criados. Para as próximas experiências, os mentores sugeriram um início mais precoce do programa, menor número de calouros por grupo e maior acompanhamento das atividades pela coordenação. Pedidos expressos para que a mentoria continue no futuro foram feitos. Conclusões: Fazer mentoria de pares é um fazer amplo nos campos acadêmico, pessoal e social. Os calouros recebem ajuda para lidar com as incertezas do início do curso em um espaço seguro em que ansiedades podem ser compartilhadas. A relação de mentoria é mutuamente benéfica e o veterano também se desenvolve ao longo do processo. Dificuldades na realização dos encontros mostraram-se presentes e aprimoramentos precisam ser realizados para maior engajamento com a atividade e ampliação de seus benefícios.
