Conclusión: La técnica de Kato – Katz SAF es efectiva para el diagnóstico directo de geohelmintiasis causadas por Ascaris lumbricoides, Trichuris trichiura y Uncinarias, frente al método de concentración de Ritchie – Frick modificado.
Relato de casos: terapia proativa com tacrolimo em dermatite atópica e revisão da literatura
Authors: Ferreira Paula Silva
Published: January 2023

A dermatite atópica (DA) é doença inflamatória, crônica e recidivante que se caracteriza por prurido de difícil controle e lesões eczematosas na pele. Afeta cerca de 20% das crianças. Já em adultos, a prevalência anual varia de 5% a 17%. Além do impacto na pele, a DA é responsável por impactar negativamente a qualidade de vida de pacientes e familiares. O tacrolimo, um imunomodulador tópico,  tem sido utilizado há mais de 20 anos no tratamento da DA. Apresenta como principal mecanismo de ação o bloqueio da ativação dependente de calcineurina das células T e de mastócitos, impedindo a transcrição de citocinas pró-inflamatórias. Foram relatados três casos (dois adultos e uma criança) de pacientes com dermatite atópica moderada tratados com terapia proativa com tacrolimo em consultório privado. A terapia proativa com tacrolimo na DA demonstrou prevenir, retardar e reduzir a ocorrência de exacerbações da doença e do prurido em adultos e crianças, quando comparada ao uso isolado de hidratantes. Apesar das evidências positivas da terapia proativa, 60% dos dermatologistas brasileiros não realizam essa prática clínica. A compreensâo das indicações precisas da terapia proativa, aliada aos benefícios e perfil de seguranca do tacrolimo corroboram com a adesão a esse regime para melhor controle dessa doença de tratamento desafiador.

Authors: Pacheco Andrea Verónica García , Pulla Samantha Estefanía García , Ortega Juan Carlos Bermeo , Bravo Diana Katherine Astudillo , Franco Víctor Jonathan Vera
Published: January 2023

O lúpus eritematoso sistêmico (LES) é uma doença auto-imune que afeta 20 a 150 pessoas por 100.000 habitantes, caracterizada pela produção de auto-anticorpos, sendo os principais anticorpos envolvidos na patofisiologia desta doença os anticorpos antinucleares conhecidos como fator antinúcleo (FAN). O FAN positivo é agora considerado o critério de entrada para a classificação dos pacientes com FAN negativo, o que representa um desafio diagnóstico para aqueles com FAN negativo, uma entidade clínica descrita desde 1976 com uma prevalência de 2-20%. Apesar dos avanços nas técnicas de identificação do FAN, há vários fatores do paciente como idade, atividade da doença, uso de glicocorticóides, proteinúria, infecção e/ou sepse, que levam à negatividade de anticorpos no diagnóstico; assim como diferentes fatores técnicos ao processar o FAN por imunofluorescência indireta (IFI). Esta revisão aborda critérios de classificação do LES, técnicas de identificação do FAN, causas de negatividade e outros métodos de diagnóstico para aqueles pacientes com anticorpos antinucleares negativo e LES clínico, com o objetivo de fornecer informações aos profissionais de saúde que permitam o diagnóstico e tratamento oportuno dos pacientes com esta patologia, melhorando assim seu prognóstico e qualidade de vida.

Published: January 2023

Existe uma grande preocupação com as denominadas commodities agrícolas, como a cultura da soja, uma oleaginosa de alto valor econômico e que no Brasil ocupa uma área de aproximadamente 27 milhões de hectares, correspondendo a um quarto da área mundial plantada. Dentre as ameaças às altas produtividades da cultura está à incidência de insetos-praga, que podem ocorrer desde a germinação até a colheita. O objetivo desse trabalho foi de caracterizar a distribuição espacial e temporal de Anticarsia gemmatalis e Chrysodeixis includens através da geoestatística. O experimento foi realizado em uma área experimental localizada no distrito de Palma, município de Santa Maria- RS, em uma área de 4,45 ha cultivada com soja. Quatro sub amostragens foram realizadas para quantificar a população das espécies de insetos-praga por ponto amostral, empregando-se o método de pano-de-batida. Os dados obtidos pelas amostragens foram submetidos à análise geoestatística, e depois submetido ao processo de krigagem ordinária, a fim de caracterizar a modelagem de mapas temáticos. O grau de dependência espacial para as espécies foi agregada e a grade da malha amostral mostrou-se eficiente para a metodologia empregada. Os resultados obtidos nos permitem inferir que a geoestatística pode ser utilizada no reconhecimento da distribuição espacial de A. gemmatalis e Chrysodeixis includens.

The far-reaching effects of the Covid-19 pandemic extend a multitude of concerns globally, including its impact on higher education. Many institutions have now turned to technology to adapt to the continually changing environment and have moved their classes online. However, technology adaptation brings a new set of challenges for higher education. Thus, this on-going research contributes to the understanding of gamification as a practical approach for stimulating students’ online engagement and participation in higher education. It specifically explores students’ experiences in the context of China. Online questionnaire was distributed to 200 undergraduate students in 2019 to gather preliminary information regarding students’ perception of the gamification of learning system. It was found that undergraduate students have somewhat positive perception of the application of game elements to the teaching models of their universities. Thus, we suggest that it is time for higher education to engage in radical technological change to be adaptable in the changing environment.

The development of resilience in entrepreneurs is seen as a possible response to the highly competitive and unpredictable environments in which they work.
Entrepreneurs are frequently overwhelmed with unforeseen circumstances such as financial crises, technological innovations, or new competitors in the field which could potentially threaten their venture survival and success, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises. Thus, the problem of the failure of the small and medium-sized enterprise was also the front burner among entrepreneurs. Even so, researchers have several explanations on why the rate of failure of small and medium-sized businesses is high but have not been able to provide solutions to avoid it. Thus, the emergence of resilience in entrepreneurs is seen as a possible response to the highly competitive and unpredictable environments in which they work. By being resilient in the face of adversity and having the ability to start again is critical to venture continuation and success. Thus, this study tries to find out whether resilience can help to reduce this scourge to a large extent as this study is focused on the individual entrepreneur rather than the entrepreneurial process. However, entrepreneurial resilience research is still at an early stage even though academic interest in the concept of resilience has gradually increased in recent years but yet it still largely remains unclear, what entrepreneurial resilience means and which factors help to enhance this individual capacity. To help to fill this research gap, this study aims to examine the relationship between entrepreneurial self-efficacy, and basic psychological needs satisfaction on entrepreneurial resilience which capitalizes small and medium-sized enterprise entrepreneurs as the study setting. Social Cognitive theory and Self-determination theory as underpinning theory to support the established framework. The present study takes into consideration the entrepreneurial self-efficacy as an independent variable. The basic psychological needs satisfaction is considered the mediating variable whereas entrepreneurial resilience is the dependent variable.

Published: January 2023

Market demand for employees who are proficient in English language has increased nowadays, hence, many developing countries including Malaysia has put high emphasis on their local university graduates' capabilities to master the foreign language by implementing various methods of cultivating the use of English in the university settings. Hence, the main objective of this study is to investigate the impact of English language proficiency on a student’s academic performance in the university. Previous studies conducted in this area simply focuses on either testing the results of language tests or perceptions of students themselves, but none have yet to combine both techniques in investigating the impact, especially in Malaysia. This study utilizes 300 respondents among business students from four (4) public universities in Malaysia. The results of the study suggest that on average the respondents do perceive the importance of being proficient in English in manoeuvring the academic environment in the university. The results also indicate significant effect between students’ secondary results (i.e., SPM) and English entrance exam (i.e., MUET) with students’ academic performance in the university (i.e., CGPA).

Sprawczość w badaniach nad historią społeczną dziewcząt. Przykład międzywojennego Tarnowa
Authors: Wilk Marcin
Published: January 2023

Celem artykułu jest odpowiedź na pytanie, w jaki sposób dziewczęta międzywojennego Tarnowa mogły być sprawcze. Analizę dyskursów określających ramy funkcjonowania dziewcząt, poprzedziła próba określenia struktury społecznej i jej przemian w międzywojennym mieście. Bazę źródłową stanowiły wybrane numery czasopism wydawanych w międzywojennym Tarnowie i dotyczących spraw lokalnych, protokoły szkolne, a także dane statystyczne oraz egodokumenty. W badaniach przyjęto perspektywę mikrohistoryczną i skoncentrowano się na wybranych aspektach życia codziennego. Ramę metodologiczną stanowiły studia nad dziewczętami (girlhood studies). Jakkolwiek w międzywojennym Tarnowie olbrzymią rolę w kształtowaniu wyborów życiowych dziewcząt i młodych kobiet nadal odgrywał świat wartości tradycyjnych, wyraźnie widać, że dziewczęta z różnych środowisk i warstw w coraz większym zakresie poszerzały pole autonomii. Sprawczość ich przejawiała się głównie w mikrodziałaniach, a istotnym kontekstem były procesy demokratyzacji i indywidualizacji.
„Młody” Abramowski i kwestia kobieca. Część I: Historia kobiet. Rekonstrukcja
Authors: Sepczyńska Dorota
Published: January 2023

The subject of the series of articles is Edward Abramowski’s early thought as expressed in his collected works written up to 1896. It focuses on the following questions: Did Abramowski notice the asymmetry in the positions of men and women? Did he consider it necessary to maintain the gender status quo or to liberate women?The first article reconstructs, in the spirit of literal exegesis, what Abramowski wrote about the situation of women throughout history. The second article considers why Abramowski took this and not another position, and its interpretation is based on an analysis of the external determinants of Abramowski’s thought. The third article explains the meaning and function of Abramowski’s view in his time and distinguishes its supra-historical content.The following arguments support the legitimacy of separating reconstruction from interpretation. Reconstruction (Part I) provides a basis for verifying theses and reasons that appear in interpretations (Parts II and III). None of the interpretations ends (Parts II and III) with the same knowledge that initiates it (Part I). Besides, the results of the two interpretations (Parts II and III) do not coincide. It is also important that the issues discussed in the articles are controversial. Abramowski is a leading ﬁ gure in the history of the Polish socialist movement, Polish philosophy, sociology and psychology. He polarises the world of science but outside it, some circles also perceive him as a positive ﬁ gure, while others as a negative one. The same applies to attitudes to the exploitation and liberation of women. Additionally, ‘young’ Abramowski is surprising, while his story about inter-sex relations is not predictable or obvious.
Intensyﬁkacja autorytaryzmu wojskowego w Egipcie w okresie prezydentury gen. Abd al-Fattaha as-Sisiego
Authors: Czornik Katarzyna
Published: January 2023

The army was the most significant beneficiary of the Arab Spring in Egypt. Hosni Mubarak was replaced by a more powerful dictator, General Abd al-Fattah as-Sisi. Under the rule of General as-Sisi and his army, there is no place for dialogue between the ruling elite and society, or for democratisation and building a civil society. President General as-Sisi won the elections but has no legitimacy to rule. The short- and medium-term perspective of changes looks very unfavourable. The remilitarisation of Egypt and military electoral authoritarianism will continue. Adherents of General as-Sisi argue that his authoritarian rule is necessary to stabilise the situation in the country and prevent jihad attacks on the Sinai Peninsula. Opposition groups are encouraged to endorse the president through large-scale projects such as the New Administrative Capital, which sets out to testify that Egypt is rising to the rank of a regional power under the rule of President as-Sisi.

Published: January 2023

The electronic, lattice, and magnetic properties of CoSb3, Cr-doped CoSb3, and related compound thin films were calculated by using the total energy pseudopotential method. A vacuum region and slab as a thin film were periodically repeated in the supercell. We considered three slab structures. One is symmetric, another is asymmetric, and the third is unusual. They are free-standing in the supercell. The magnetic moment of doped Cr atom is large in all Cr-doped cases. Magnetic moments of several Co atoms are enhanced in the asymmetric and unusual cases. The calculation results in this study indicate that electronic states of most thin films are ferromagnetic and they are energetically more favorable than nonmagnetic cases.

Authors: Nishiguchi Kei , Nagaura Shun , Yamamoto Ken
Published: January 2023

Ultrasonic sterilization is gaining progressively more attention for microbial sterilization without the drawbacks of heat, UV radiation, and chemical treatments. It is crucial to understand ultrasonic cavitation in heterogeneous media in order to disable microorganisms efficiently by ultrasound. In this study, the effect of initial bacterial concentration on the inactivation of Escherichia coli by ultrasonic cavitation was investigated over a wide range of frequencies. We found that the inactivation of microorganisms by ultrasound was frequency dependent, and the frequency dependence of the inactivation rate varied with the concentration. The results indicated that the strength of ultrasonic cavitation can vary with frequency and suggested that the mechanism of inactivation by ultrasound may vary with concentration.

Published: January 2023

The beveled mesa structure of β-Ga2O3 has attracted wide attention because it can significantly weaken the peak electric field and increase the breakdown voltage. In this study, β-Ga2O3 beveled mesa has been modulated via inductively coupled plasma (ICP) etching with the etching precursors of BCl3 and Ar. And the morphology of the sidewall has been investigated by properly adjusting the etching parameters, realizing different beveled angles owing to the different ratios of chemical etching and physical etching. The effect of ICP etching on the sidewall morphology of the β-Ga2O3 beveled mesa was also studied. This study provides important guidance for the realization of higher-power devices based on β-Ga2O3.

Authors:   North Ossetian State University after K. L. Khetagurov, Vladikavkaz, Russia, Tsutsieva Oksana Taimurazovna
Published: January 2023

Mega-regional trade agreements have become a new development trend in international trade, the first of which (the agreement on the Trans-Pacific Partnership) was signed back in 2016. Despite the ambiguity of MRTS, it is assumed that in the near future, they will have a significant impact on the system of regulation of international trade on a par with the World Trade Organization (WTO). Since international trade is undergoing significant changes in the 21st century, the system of its regulation (GATT / WTO) formed several decades ago requires significant changes. The most modern instrument for regulating international trade relations is the MRTS, whose rules are more effective than the existing WTO rules, or there are no such rules in the WTO so far.

The authors monitored the organization of the production systems of the Russian chemical complex after half of the implementation period of the chemical industry development program until 2030. The results of 2021 were analyzed as indicators of the midpoint of the implementation of this program, which indicated the stability of the trends in the development of the complex. The article uses the results of the study «Expert and analytical support for assessing the state of the chemical complex of Russia and the performance targets for the implementation of the strategy for the development of the chemical and petrochemical complex for the period up to 2030» and the forecasts made by the authors at the initial stage of the program. It is shown that, despite the average utilization of the production capacities of the chemical complex by more than 80%, it is necessary to consider this indicator differentially by industry. The highest level of utilization was noted in the production of household chemicals and synthetic detergents, ammonia and methanol, and the lowest – in the production of chemical plant protection products and rubber products. It is concluded that the dynamics of the chemical complex of the Russian Federation demonstrates insufficient development of the direction associated with high processing of raw materials, therefore, it is advisable to increase the level of processing of raw materials in every possible way in the chemical industry, and to avoid strong dependence on fluctuations in world prices to focus on the domestic market, including innovative sectors of the economy and dual-use technologies.

The purpose of this study is to provide a theoretical justification for the institutional dynamics and inconsistency of the functioning of the Russian institution of bankruptcy. This will clarify and define its specific features, identify trends, determinants and strategic directions for optimizing the infrastructure environment of the institution in question in the domestic system of the economy. Based on the results of the study, the authors identified institutional features that predetermine the “pro-creditor” nature of the work of the bankruptcy institution in Russia and a number of structural features of the work of the main components of its infrastructure. We are talking, in particular, about factoring companies, the institution of collectors and the creation of a “combined” model of the institution of mediation, which is represented by both judicial and private mediators. This gave grounds for establishing the multidirectional, contradictory and unstable nature of the formation of the infrastructural environment of the institution of bankruptcy in Russia. The activity of collection companies - an infrastructural component of debt enforcement - contributes to the formation of the basis for the institution of client insolvency. This determines a large number of functions that these companies perform. Such functions are implemented primarily in the economies of the Western countries with a debtor and pro-creditor orientation of the institutional infrastructure. These functions are aimed at ensuring the reproduction and constancy of the functioning of debt institutions of clients.
