Authors: Wu Yingjie , Zhao Ang , Qin Yinghe
Published: March 2021

In order to establish a lighting regime suitable for rabbit farms in East China, the effects of lighting schedule, intensity and colour on the reproductive performance of rabbit does were evaluated by three experiments, respectively. In experiment 1, does were exposed to different lighting schedules: 16L:8D-continuous, 16L:8D-18d (6 d before artificial insemination (AI) to 12 d post-AI), 16L:8D-6d (6 d before AI to the day of AI) and 12L:12D-continuous. In experiment 2, does were exposed to different light intensities: 40 lx, 60 lx, 80 lx and 120 lx. In experiment 3, does were exposed to different light colours: white, yellow, blue and red. For all experiments, conception rate, kindling rate and pre-weaning mortality were calculated; litter size at birth, litter weight at birth, litter size at weaning, litter weight at weaning and individual kit weight at weaning were recorded. Results showed that none of the reproductive parameters of does were affected by the application of 16L:8D-18d lighting schedule compared with the continuous 16L:8D group(P>0.05). Moreover, rabbits does exposed to 80 lx light performed as well as those under 120 lx light in conception rate, kindling rate, litter size (total and alive) at birth and litter weight at birth (P>0.05). Furthermore, the exposures of 60 lx and 80 lx light were beneficial for litter weight at weaning. In addition, red light had a positive effect, as it led to a larger litter size and litter weight at weaning and lower pre-weaning mortality than white light (P<0.05). In summary, a 16L:8D photoperiod with 80 lx red light from 6 d before AI to 12 d post-AI is recommended for use in breeding of rabbit does according to our results.

Published: March 2021

The purpose of this chater is to the profit and risk causality of ASEAN commercial banks. Using data from 118 ASEAN commercial banks from 2002 to 2017, we measure returns by the ratio of net return to total assets (ROA) and net return to equity (ROE). Banking risk is measured by the Zscore index. We set up panel vector autoregression (PVAR) to estimate this relationship. Our result indicate that there is a causal relationship between ASEAN banks returns andd risks, supporting the “bad management”, “skimping”, and “moral hazard” hypothese of . The result of this study are the basis for providing governance implications for executive managers to improve the bank’s proofitability while ensuring safety.
It Takes Two to Tangle : A Look at Syntactic Changes and Rhetoric Value of The Absolute Infinitive Construction in English
Authors: Albert Viktória
Published: March 2021

This paper discusses certain internal changes and external influences which affect the language and the way the speakers respond to them by utilizing the economy principle as part of a rhetorical strategy. Furthermore, it also touches upon some diachronic changes which occurred within the structure of the absolute infinitive constructions (AIC) throughout its development focusing on the period from Middle English or “a period of experiment and transition” (Lenker 2010: 6), through the 17th century, commonly referred to as ‘the age of normalization and correctness’, up till the end of the 19th century, called Modern English or Late New English. This timeframe is of special interest since the language was going through tremendous structural and syntactical changes which involved losing most of the language’s grammatical inflections triggering the re-establishment of its basic word order.

Authors: Mahantheshappa Santhosha Sangapurada , Shivanna Harishkumar , Satyanarayan Nayak Devappa
Published: March 2021

The synthesis, antimicrobial, and antioxidant activities of new quinoline analogs were carried out with the aim to find possible hits/leads that can be taken up for future drug development. A series of 2-amino-N’-((2-chloroquinolin-3-yl)methylene)acetohydrazide derivatives (6a-h) have been synthesized by reacting 2-chloro-N’-((2-chloroquinolin-3-yl)methylene)acetohydrazide (5a) and N’-((6-bromo-2-chloroquinolin-3-yl)methylene)-2-chloroacetohydrazide (5b) with secondary amines (Morpholine, diethylamine, piperidine and 1-methylpiperazine). The characterization was achieved by FT-IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and mass spectral analysis. The in silico ADMET studies of the synthesized molecules were analyzed for their drug likeliness and toxic properties. The ADMET study indicates that the synthesized compounds were found to be possessing reliable ADME properties and are nontoxic. The antimicrobial properties were tested against bacterial and fungal species with amoxicillin and fluconazole as standard drugs. The compounds 6a, 6c, 6e, and 6g exhibited good antibacterial potency against P. aeruginosa, and the compounds 6a, 6f, and 6h have shown good activity against E. coli with 1000 µg/mL. The compounds 6b, 6c, and 6e have moderate activity against fungal species C. oxysporum and the compounds 6c, 6e, 6f, 6g, and 6h have good activity against P. chrysogenum. Synthesized compounds were also tested for the DPPH· free radical scavenging activity to check the antioxidant potential, and the results revealed that the compounds 6a, 6b, 6c, and 6e have exhibited antioxidant potency than the remaining synthesized derivatives. The possible hits generated from biological activity could be taken for the generation of lead molecules for the drug discovery of antimicrobial and antioxidant entities from quinoline.

Published: March 2021

Schiff bases are versatile ligands, synthesized via condensation of primary amines with carbonyl compounds. In this study, equimolar amounts of 4-imidazolecarboxaldehyde and thiosemicarbazide were combined and the Schiff base 4-imidazolecarboxaldehyde thiosemicarbazone was prepared as a new bidentate complexing agent. The synthesized ligand was reacted with palladium (II) and platinum (II) ions yielding air-stable complexes. For characterization purpose, infrared spectra, mass spectra, electronic spectra, thermal analysis, proton nuclear magnetic resonance and 13-carbon nuclear magnetic resonance spectra studies were carried out on the obtained complexes and ligand. The characterization data showed that the ligand acts as a bidentate coordinate to the metal ions through azomethine nitrogen and sulfur atoms. An in vitro antimicrobial investigation was also carried out for the free ligand and its metal complexes against four bacteria; Bacillus cereus, Staphylococcus aureus (Gram-positive), Escherichia coli and Salmonella typhimurium (Gram-negative) and one Fungi; Candida albicans, to assess their antimicrobial properties by disc diffusion technique. Antimicrobial activity of the prepared complexes showed higher activity than the free ligand.

A rare cause of acute urinary retention in a young man: A median raphe penile cyst
Authors: Kamarulzaman Mohd. Nazli , Chik Azhani , Ghazali Hamid
Published: March 2021

Background: A penile median raphe cyst is an uncommon congenital lesion that is formed due to failure of the median raphe to close completely during embryo development. The majority of the cysts are asymptomatic and often go unnoticed. Here, we report acute urinary retention as a very rare complication of a penile median raphe cyst.
Case presentation: A 21-year-old single man presented with a sudden onset of acute urinary retention of one days’ duration. Urethral catheterization was done at the Emergency Department and this drained 800 ml of urine. On further questioning, he claimed that he had had a painless nodule at the glans penis since childhood. The swelling increased in size in the past week causing discomfort. He denied any history of genitalia trauma or recent sexual intercourse. On examination, there was a bluish lesion over the ventral aspect of the glans penis measuring about 3 x 2 cm. The lesion was later excised and histopathology revealed a median raphe cyst of the penis.
Conclusion: A penile median raphe cyst is a rare lesion. Acute urinary retention caused by this lesion is very rare.
A life-threatening condition – ruptured ectopic pregnancy with negative urine pregnancy test: A case report
Authors: Mohamad Fadzilah , Yahya Ahmad Shuib , Abdul Rashid Aneesa , Devaraj Navin Kumar , Abdul Manap Abdul Hadi
Published: March 2021

Ectopic pregnancy is an extra-uterine pregnancy and is a potentially life-threatening condition that can lead to death from intra-peritoneal hemorrhage. This case reports a rare occurrence of ruptured tubal pregnancy in which the patient presented early with abdominal pain and a negative urine pregnancy test but subsequently presented again with evidence of intra-peritoneal hemorrhage. A negative urine pregnancy test is often used to rule out pregnancy, but it is not 100% sensitive. Complete assessment is critical in this important diagnosis in order to plan for the appropriate emergency management.
Interactions between the calcium scaling inhibitor NC47.1 B, geothermal fluids, and microorganisms – results of in situ monitoring in the Bavarian Molasse Basin (Germany) and accompanying laboratory experiments
Authors: Otten Christoph , Dassler Beate , Teitz Sebastian , Iannotta Joy , Eichinger Florian , Seibt Andrea , Kuhn Dietmar , Würdemann Hilke
Published: March 2021

Abstract. Application of the environmentally friendly scaling
inhibitor NC47.1 B in geothermal systems was studied in laboratory and
field-scale experiments. Biodegradation was investigated under anaerobic,
in situ-like conditions and a mass balance confirmed the almost complete conversion
of the polycarboxylate to e.g. acetate, formate, methane and CO2. Much
higher concentrations of inhibitor were chosen than applied in situ and rapid
degradation was observed in biofilm-inoculated setups: A concentration of
100 mg/L of the inhibitor was degraded below detection limit within 8 d
of incubation. Furthermore, the inhibitor was applied at the geothermal
plant in Unterhaching, Germany. Monitoring of the microbial community in situ
showed an increase in the abundance of Bacteria. Particularly, relatives of the
fermenting Caldicellulosiruptor dominated the biocenosis after about six months of continuous
inhibitor dosage (5–10 mg/L). However, in long-term laboratory
experiments representatives of Caldicellulosiruptor were only detected in traces and the
microbial community comprised a broader spectrum of fermentative bacteria.
The different composition of the biocenosis in situ and in laboratory experiments is
probably caused by the different inhibitor concentrations, temperatures as
well as nutrient availability in situ compared to the closed system of the batch
experiments.
A climate network perspective on the intertropical convergence zone
Authors: Wolf Frederik , Voigt Aiko , Donner Reik V.
Published: March 2021

Abstract. The intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ) is an important component of the tropical rain belt. Climate models continue to struggle to adequately represent the ITCZ and differ substantially in its simulated response to climate change. Here we employ complex network approaches, which extract spatiotemporal variability patterns from climate data, to better understand differences in the dynamics of the ITCZ in state-of-the-art global circulation models (GCMs). For this purpose, we study simulations with 14 GCMs in an idealized slab-ocean aquaplanet setup from TRACMIP – the Tropical Rain belts with an Annual cycle and a Continent Model Intercomparison Project. We construct network representations based on the spatial correlation patterns of monthly surface temperature anomalies and study the zonal-mean patterns of different topological and spatial network characteristics. Specifically, we cluster the GCMs by means of the distributions of their zonal network measures utilizing hierarchical clustering. We find that in the control simulation, the distributions of the zonal network measures are able to pick up model differences in the tropical sea surface temperature (SST) contrast, the ITCZ position, and the strength of the Southern Hemisphere Hadley cell. Although we do not find evidence for consistent modifications in the network structure tracing the response of the ITCZ to global warming in the considered model ensemble, our analysis demonstrates that coherent variations of the global SST field are linked to ITCZ dynamics. This suggests that climate networks can provide a new perspective on ITCZ dynamics and model differences therein.
Generating seamless global daily AMSR2 soil moisture (SGD-SM) long-term products for the years 2013–2019
Authors: Zhang Qiang , Yuan Qiangqiang , Li Jie , Wang Yuan , Sun Fujun , Zhang Liangpei
Published: March 2021

Abstract. High-quality and long-term soil moisture products are significant for hydrologic monitoring and agricultural management. However, the acquired daily Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer 2 (AMSR2) soil moisture products are incomplete in global land (just about 30 %–80 % coverage ratio), due to the satellite orbit coverage and the limitations of soil moisture retrieval algorithms. To solve this inevitable problem, we develop a novel spatio-temporal partial convolutional neural network (CNN) for AMSR2 soil moisture product gap-filling. Through the proposed framework, we generate the seamless daily global (SGD) AMSR2 long-term soil moisture products from 2013 to 2019. To further validate the effectiveness of these products, three verification methods are used as follows: (1) in situ validation, (2) time-series validation, and (3) simulated missing-region validation. Results show that the seamless global daily soil moisture products have reliable cooperativity with the selected in situ values. The evaluation indexes of the reconstructed (original) dataset are a correlation coefficient (R) of 0.685 (0.689), root-mean-squared error (RMSE) of 0.097 (0.093), and mean absolute error (MAE) of 0.079 (0.077). The temporal consistency of the reconstructed daily soil moisture products is ensured with the original time-series distribution of valid values. The spatial continuity of the reconstructed regions is in accordance with the spatial information (R: 0.963–0.974, RMSE: 0.065–0.073, and MAE: 0.044–0.052).

Climatic controls on mountain glacier basal thermal regimes dictate spatial patterns of glacial erosion
Authors: Lai Jingtao , Anders Alison M.
Published: March 2021

Abstract. Climate has been viewed as a primary control on the rates and patterns of glacial erosion, yet our understanding of the mechanisms by which climate influences glacial erosion is limited. We hypothesize that climate controls the rates and patterns of glacial erosion by altering the basal thermal regime of glaciers. The basal thermal regime is a first-order control on the spatial patterns of glacial erosion. Polythermal glaciers contain both cold-based portions that protect bedrock from erosion and warm-based portions that actively erode bedrock. In this study, we model the impact of various climatic conditions on glacier basal thermal regimes and patterns of glacial erosion in mountainous regions. We couple a sliding-dependent glacial erosion model with the Parallel Ice Sheet Model (PISM) to simulate the evolution of the glacier basal thermal regime and glacial erosion in a synthetic landscape. We find that both basal thermal regimes and glacial erosion patterns are sensitive to climatic conditions and glacial erosion patterns follow the patterns of the basal thermal regime. Cold temperature leads to limited glacial erosion at high elevations due to cold-based conditions. Increasing precipitation can overcome the impact of cold temperature on the basal thermal regime by accumulating thick ice and lowering the melting point of ice at the base of glaciers. High precipitation rates, therefore, tend to cause warm-based conditions at high elevations, resulting in intensive erosion near the peak of the mountain range. Previous studies often assess the impact of climate on the spatial patterns of glacial erosion by integrating climatic conditions into the equilibrium line altitudes (ELAs) of glaciers, and glacial erosion is suggested to be maximal around the ELA. However, our results show that different climatic conditions produce glaciers with similar ELAs but different patterns of basal thermal regime and glacial erosion, suggesting that there might not be any direct correlation between ELAs and glacial erosion patterns.
Studies on porosity in poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) hydrogels for fast-responsive piezoresistive microsensors
Authors: Franke Daniela , Gerlach Gerald
Published: March 2021

Abstract. Porous poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAAm) hydrogels with pore diameters in the nanometer and the micrometer range were synthesized using two variations of the surfactant-based template method. We showed that smaller pore diameters lead to faster swelling and deswelling. A graphic representation of a model describing the swelling kinetics explains the assumption that the release and the uptake of water is faster for a larger specific surface area, that is smaller pore diameters. Additionally, the open-porous channel structure benefits the water transport compared to a nonporous PNIPAAm hydrogel. Sensor measurements result in response times between 36 s and 4 min also showing the importance of mechanical stability of porous hydrogels.
Application of multiplet structure deconvolution to extract scalar coupling constants from 1D NMR spectra
Authors: Jeannerat Damien , Cobas Carlos
Published: March 2021

Abstract. Multiplet structure deconvolution provides a robust method to determine the values of the coupling constants in first-order 1D NMR spectra. Functions simplifying the coupling structure for any spins and for doublet with unequal amplitudes were introduced. The chemical shifts of the coupling partners causing mild second-order effects can, in favourable cases, be calculated from the slopes measured in doublet structures. Illustrations demonstrate that deconvolution can straightforwardly analyse multiplet posing difficulties to humans and, in some cases, extract coupling constants from unresolved multiplets.
Simple forms of agricultural cooperation as covert methods of collectivisation
Authors: Gross Radosław
Published: March 2021

Along with the change in the agricultural policy in 1948 that was inspired by the Kremlin and imposed during the 2nd Cominform in Bucharest, the collectivisation of the rural area became a doctrinal issue in the agricultural policy of Communist states. Apart from the direct methods of collectivisation that concerned strong administrative and economic pressures towards the peasants, the authorities also undertook actions that were to introduce the production cooperatives in a more clouded manner. These included, among others, establishing self–help villages, joint agreements between the villagers and State Machinery Centres (Pol. Państwowe Ośrodki Maszynowe, POM) for machinery services for their fields, developing simple forms of agricultural cooperation in the arbitrarily created units for cultivation, grassland, farming, etc. These activities, aided by a system of con-cessions and preferences, brought certain results, especially towards the end of the discussed period. They prove the wide array of measures and methods used by the Communist authorities in their attempts at collectivisation.
Heroes from Reszel and its vicinity. The memorial tablet of fallen soldiers’ from
the parish of Reszel who died in 1813–1815
Authors: Duchnowski Tomasz
Published: March 2021

Until recently, honorary plaques were rarely the subject of studies by Polish historians. Only in recent years
have studies been published discussing their nature and purpose. Unfortunately, due to their previous neglect,
including by local authorities, many of these valuable objects were removed from their original place of exhibition, and some were even destroyed. One such plaque, requiring restoration, is from Reszel, commemorating soldiers
from the local Roman Catholic parish who fell in the battles with Napoleon in the years 1813–1815. Before the
Second World War this plaque was located outside the Church of Saints Peter and Paul, which could be dated to
the refurnishing of its interior in 1822–1843. The table’s inscriptional field contains permanent and temporary
elements. The former includes inscriptions with the names of fallen soldiers and their place of their origin. The
second includes military ranks, names, places and dates of death, dates of birth, decorations received and others.
The correct reading of these inscriptions – often written in the form of abbreviations – as well as their verification
led to numerous findings, including those relating to units under whose banners fought soldiers from Reszel par�ish in individual battles with Napoleon.

subject, present the daily battles for cities led by armoured units and their assigned support. The border territories
they occupied, marching routes and combat operations are noted, alongside the problem raised by commanders
of insufficient support for tanks with infantry forces. The article describes the occupation or capture of: Mława,
Działdowo, Nidzica, Stębark, Ostróda, Iława, Morąg, Zalewo, Małdyty, Pasłęk, Młynary and Tolkmicko as well as
the initial battles for Elbląg.
Epitaph of Johann Jungshulz in the church of St. Mary of the former Dominican monastery in Elbląg (Elbing)
Authors: Вальков Дмитрий
Published: March 2021

The funeral epigraphic material of Elbląg and the surrounding area, relating to the period preceding the
XVIth century, remains, first of all thanks to the researches of Polish epigraphists, relatively more explored and
introduced into the scientific circulation array. At the same time the Renaissance-Baroque gravestone monument
of the XVIth–XVIIth centuries, which is extremely important for the comprehensive study of the reformed Circum-Baltic, often continues to need a detailed research commentary. To the epitaph of the burgomaster of Elbing
(Elbląg) Johann Jungschultz (1583–1630), as well as to the Latin text of the funeral Eulogy, associated with this epitaph, composed by the Bohemian humanist Venceslav Klemens, is expected to address in this article. The epitaph
of Johann Jungschultz was established in 1630–1640. From the compositional point of view closest to the epitaph
of Johann Jungschultz, and almost prototypical for it, is the epitaph of Edward Blemke (1591), in the St. Mary’s
church of Gdansk. It allows to speak about the author of the epitaph of Johann Jungschultz as oriented to samples
of the Dutch monumental tombstones of the end of the XVIth century, or even as belonging to the circle of Willem van den Blocke (circa 1550–1628), which was the principal mediator of the influence of the Dutch art in the
South-Eastern Baltic in the end of XVIth – the first quarter of the XVIIth century. The compositional and decorative
solution of the epitaph also has close matches in the works of Johann Pfister (1573 – circa 1642/1645 or 1648).

a magnateria sięgać po starostwa i urzędy. W związku z tym szlachta koronna przede wszystkim zaczęła zabiegać
o nadanie pruskiego obywatelstwa czyli indygenatu. Szukała zatem poparcia na sejmikach powiatowych, woje�wódzkich a przede wszystkim na sejmikach generalnych. Wierzono, iż prośby listowne a czasami osobisty przyjazd
na sejmik generalny okażą się skuteczne. Korespondencji sejmikowej mimo, że spaliło się toruńskie archiwum
stanowe zachowało się dużo. Tylko w gdańskim archiwum naliczono 364 listów i suplik skierowanych na sejmiki
generalne. Udało się ustalić 364 suplik i listów nadesłanych na adres stanów Prus Królewskich czyli do zgromadzo�nych na sejmiku generalnym. Najwięcej zachowało się suplik szlacheckich, 45% całej sejmikowej korespondencji
oficjalnej, 166 listów szlachty i magnaterii zarówno koronnej jak i Wielkiego Księstwa Litewskiego. Dużo suplik
przysyłali duchowni – biskupi, przełożeni zakonów, księżą świeccy, 21% korespondencji to listy duchownych (75
listów). Sporo pism na sejmik generalny kierowały małe miasta Prus Królewskich zwłaszcza, gdy zostały odsunięte
od obrad sejmikowych. Małe miasta przysłały 39 listów i suplik – 11% całej oficjalnej sejmikowej korespondencji.
O wsparcie sejmiku generalnego zwracali sie też chłopi głównie z Żuław Malborskich, zachowały się 24 supliki

Authors: Albiniak Elżbieta s. Monika
Published: March 2021

The Academic Committee for the Defence of Plebiscite Lands of Warmia, Masuria and Upper Silesia was
active and successful at the University of Lublin. It was one of the developmental stages of the Academic Com�mittee for the Defense of Plebiscite Areas, established at the University of Lublin on 30 May 1920. The Academic
Committee conducted a variety of actions, all the while aiming at providing material assistance to the uprisings,
spreading a sense of connection of the Lublin inhabitants with the Upper Silesian people and maintaining the state
of eagerness to cooperate with them in the fight for their rights. At the Bytom Commissariat in Silesia, the Univer�sity of Lublin was represented before the plebiscite by Sandomierz clerics and simultaneously students of canon
law at the University of Lublin: Stefan Grelewski and Józef Sznuro. They worked in Upper Silesia first as teachers
and then in the Press Department of the Polish Plebiscite Commissariat in Bytom. The most intense period for the
Academic Committee was the time between 10 May and June 1921. They intensified their efforts by engaging in
various types of activities. A great fundraiser was held at the time, readings and rallies were organised as signs of
support for Silesian insurgents. The Academic Committee dissolved in July 1921.

Study design: A systematic search related to SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19), pregnancy, neonatal complications, viral and vertical transmission. The duration was from December 2019 to May 2020.
Results: A total of 84 studies with 862 COVID positive women were included. Two studies had ongoing pregnancies while 82 studies included 705 babies, 1 miscarriage and 1 medical termination of pregnancy (MTOP). Most publications (50/84, 59.5%), reported small numbers (<5) of positive babies. From 75 studies, 18 babies were COVID-19 positive. The first reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) diagnostic test was done in 449 babies and 2 losses, 2nd RT-PCR was done in 82 babies, IgM tests were done in 28 babies, and IgG tests were done in 28 babies. On the first RT-PCR, 47 studies reported time of testing while 28 studies did not. Positive results in the first RT-PCR were seen in 14 babies. Earliest tested at birth and the average time of the result was 22 hours. Three babies with negative first RT-PCR became positive on the second RT-PCR at day 6, day 7 and at 24 hours which continued to be positive at 1 week.
Four studies with a total of 4 placental swabs were positive demonstrating SARS-CoV-2 localised in the placenta. In 2 studies, 10 tests for amniotic fluid were positive for SARS-CoV-2. These 2 babies were found to be positive on RT-PCR on serial testing.
Conclusion: Diagnostic testing combined with incubation period and placental pathology indicate a strong likelihood that intrapartum vertical transmission of SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) from mother to baby is possible.
The impact of COVID-19 on obstetrics and gynaecology trainees;
how do we move on?

Published: March 2021

Background: Obstetrics and Gynaecology (O&G) is an evolving specialty that encompasses women’s health at its core. The COVID-19 pandemic has caused significant patient care challenges, however simultaneously it has resulted in the interruption of clinical training and cessation of all elective work. Our primary aim was to assess the impact of the pandemic on the experiences of O&G trainees.
Methods: An email invite was sent to all 127 O&G trainees in Kent, Surrey and Sussex (KSS), inviting them to participate in an anonymous 33-question survey. The survey data was collected and analysed over a 4-week period.
Results: Of the 127 trainees sent the survey, 87 responded (69%). 39% and 75% of trainees agreed that the pandemic had a negative impact on their overall physical and mental wellbeing respectively. 43% agreed that the COVID-19 pandemic had adversely affected their obstetric training experience whilst almost all trainees stated a significant negative impact on benign gynaecology surgical training. Reassuringly, over 80% were positive they would recover from the negative impacts of COVID-19.
Conclusions: It is evident that COVID-19 has impacted O&G trainees in several ways. Whilst we face uncertain times, we must firstly ensure the physical and mental well-being of all trainees. It is encouraging that non-emergency consultations and benign surgery are being restarted nationwide and whilst this will inevitably help with re-booting surgical training, we must also think “outside” the box and utilise other modes of teaching and training to safeguard learning whilst mitigating against the negative impacts of subsequent waves.
Changes in route of hysterectomy in Norway since introduction of robotic approach.
Authors: Johanson M.L. , Lieng M.
Published: March 2021

Introduction: From 2008, several Norwegian Health Trusts have acquired surgical robotic systems, and robotic hysterectomy accounted for 15 % of all hysterectomies performed in Norway in 2018. Robotic assisted hysterectomy is costly, and there is no evidence that the clinical outcome of robotic assisted hysterectomy is superior compared to the outcomes following other minimal invasive hysterectomies such as vaginal and laparoscopic hysterectomies. The objectives of this study were to describe the implementation of robotic hysterectomy and changes in other hysterectomy approaches, such as open abdominal, laparoscopic and vaginal hysterectomy in hospitals with and without robotic systems for hysterectomy.
Methods: Quantitative study based on hysterectomy data between 2010 to 2018 from the Norwegian Patient Registry.
Results: 9 out of 19 health trusts performed robotic assisted hysterectomy during the study period. The rate of abdominal hysterectomies declined during the study period, both in the health trusts with and without available surgical robotic systems. The rate of other minimally invasive hysterectomies also declined in some health trusts after the implementation of robotic assisted hysterectomy.
Discussion: Robotic hysterectomy has been implemented and is increasing in Norway without a thorough evaluation of the effect on patient safety and possible economic consequences. According to our findings, it appears that the implementation of robotic hysterectomy has not had a significant impact on the use of open abdominal hysterectomy. Although associated with increased costs and a lack of evidence of improved clinical outcomes for women, robotic hysterectomy has furthermore to some extent replaced other minimal invasive hysterectomies.
Ser Mais: coerência entre a vida e o conceito de Paulo Freire
Authors: Leite Vania Finholdt Angelo
Published: March 2021

Neste texto, discute-se a coerência entre a construção teórica do conceito de Ser Mais com ações e decisões ao longo da vida de Freire, o que pode justificar a repercussão de sua obra. O estudo partiu da análise de 12 entrevistas realizadas com Paulo Freire de 1992 a 1997, disponíveis no Acervo Paulo Freire. Após as análises, foram identificadas nove características do Ser Mais, são elas: consciência de si; consciência do mundo; esperança, lidar com a diferença – aprender quem eu sou; estar sendo e humildade; identidade cultural; ser político – não neutralidade; e sonho. Nota-se que há uma coerência entre a teorização do conceito Ser Mais e o ser histórico, inacabado, limitado, que nunca traiu seus sonhos. Freire sempre denunciou a sociedade exploradora e injusta e propôs a educação libertadora que anuncia uma sociedade mais democrática e inclusiva. Uma educação em que Ser Mais é o objetivo de todos os educandos e educadores.
Educação, Utopia e Paulo Freire
Authors: Alves Izadora Maleski Serrano , Oliveira Sandra Regina Ferreira de
Published: March 2021

A abordagem Educação, Utopia e Paulo Freire deriva de uma pesquisa de Mestrado intitulada Educação, utopia e sonho: contrapontos da Pedagogia Empreendedora. Nela, além das abordagens conceitual e política, realizou-se uma investigação no material didático da Pedagogia Empreendedora de Fernando Dolabela, que foi implementado na Rede Municipal de Ensino de Londrina, Paraná, no ano de 2011. A partir da discussão acerca do empreendedorismo na Educação é que Paulo Freire passou a compor o escopo da discussão e a promover reflexões de tais conceitos. A intenção deste artigo, portanto, é relacionar o período de fala do autor com a atualidade e aproximá-los do debate da educação escolar para, posteriormente, assumir, por meio do trabalho do professor, o compromisso de libertação dos indivíduos alienados. Essa é a Utopia defendida pelo autor, que se constrói pelo compromisso da escola e da sociedade.

This paper aims to analyze the environmental management and conservation dilemma in the SNUC categories, especially the Environmental Protection Area (APA), with emphasis on the Atlantic Forest and the Cerrado. Much of the area designated for Conservation Units (UCs) in the country has been decreed as APA, a category widely criticized by the literature for involving highly urbanized areas whose use for tourism, farming, and mining hinder the management and conservation. It is essential, in this context, to establish partnerships with owners, reevaluate the proliferation of APAs, promote forest connectivity and prioritize critical Environmental Education in participatory management to resolve conflicts and stimulate conservation of natural resources.

Afforestation promotes environmental benefits, but a lack of planning can promote urban conflicts. This research evaluated afforestation and diagnosed the possible conflicts between trees and urban infrastructure in eight neighborhoods of Almenara, MG. Conflicts with the power grid, building, and the traffic of people and vehicles were identified. There were 2,038 trees belonging to 61 species, 61% exotic. The most uncomfortable situations for urban mobility were trees positioned on the street bed (56%), sidewalks with a width of less than 1.90 m (74%), and an average height of the first fork below 1.80 m, among others. It was observed that the population needs guidance regarding their participation in the management of the city's trees. Thus, this diagnosis may help support the review of the city's Master Plan and the creation of a future urban afforestation management plan in the municipality.

The study aimed to analyze the spatial and temporal variation of the ‘Cerrado’ vegetation cover of the Carimã Agricultural Settlement in Rondonópolis (State of Mato Grosso) employing the NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index). In 22 years, about 18.2% of the vegetation was removed. In 1995, before the settlement, the vegetation represented 34.4%; in 2017 it remained 18% of the total area. This process has led to major transformations in the region and even in local populations, especially concerning the different land uses and occupations. The suppression of vegetation was linked to uses for agriculture and tourism, with exploration practices that may have contributed to the loss of the Cerrado ecosystem functions

The region of water level fluctuation in reservoirs represents a disturbance zone that experiences exposure to cyclical flooding, due to its operations, inducing marginal mass movements that mix with the constant transport of sediments from adjacent hydrographic basins. The objective of this study is to determine the best source of multispectral images of medium spatial resolution to diagnose hydrodynamic processes, proposing a classification key based on the composition of satellite image bands. Besides, understand what the main types of mass movements occur and how natural and anthropic factors influence these events. For this, we qualitatively compare images from the Landsat-5 TM, Landsat 8 OLI, and Sentinel-2 MSI satellites, in combinations of simple bands and based on equation with detailed images obtained by remotely piloted aircraft. We found that the association between the simple composition true color 432 together with the composition VRE-VIS, adapted in this study, provides enhancements for transporting active sediments on exposed soil at the reservoir margins and the combination VNIR-VRE2, also adapted, presents better clarity concerning to the depth of the water depth.
Espaço, Localização e Lugar na teoria de Milton Santos
Authors: Gomes Cilene
Published: March 2021

This essay focuses on the study of the conceptual articulation between space, location, and place, based on the space theory of the renowned Brazilian geographer Milton Santos, and highlights the role attributed to Geography in its disciplinary condition of human science and practical action in contributing to planning. This role is exercised through the construction of a comprehensive view of the present, of the states of social crisis, and delineations of political action and future projects. The prevalence of social interest would be due to epistemological disalienation, state change, and the emerging strength of citizens, contributing to the proposition of a more equitable spatial redistribution of social resources.
