Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia (VAP) is a common infectionrelated-healthcare in hospital that has affected to treatment effectiveness. Research objectives: Describe the current situation of VAP and identify related factors to the VAP at Saint Pault Hospital. Method: cross-sectional study, performed on 711 patients at the Department of Intensive Care, Anti-Poisoning and Emergency Resuscitation at Saint Pault Hospital, from April 2018 to April 2020. Results: Incidence rate of VAP was counted at 9.28% that the male patients was counted 75.8%; the rate of new incidence was 7.61/1000 person-day Ventilator-associated; Mortality rate of VAP patients was 33.33%. Average time to appear VAP was 12.06 7.83 days. The VAP were caused by A. baumannii (44.59%), K. pneumoniae (27.03%), Escherichia coli (12.16%). Conclusion: VAP is more common in male, usually appears in the second week after the Ventilator-associated. The incidence rates, incidence rates and mortality rates were high. The microbiological pathogen were isolated that suggest to continuesanitation control in health-care practice for ventilatory-associated patients. Key words: Ventilator-AssociatedPneumonia, hospital infection, Saint Paul hospital

Authors: Rayannavar Nikhilesh , Deokar Vasant Vithal , Desai Jabbar , Reddy Shivamsh , Bhaleghare Sakshi
Published: April 2022

Organophosphorus (OP) is an easily accessible pesticide which has a high morbidity and mortality on human exposure. Serum cholinesterase (SChE) is usually used for assessing the severity of poisoning, in this study we assess the role of serum creatine phosphokinase (CPK) as an alternative prognostic marker. This was a single centred, hospital-based, prospective and observational study, conducted on 88 patients with a history of OP compound consumption who were admitted to the ICU of tertiary care hospital, from the time period October 2019 to March 2021.  The patients were clinically categorized into mild, moderate and severe categories according to Peradeniya Organophosphorus Poisoning (POP) scale and before initiation of treatment, the samples were sent for estimation of SChE and serum CPK.  Out of the 88 patients, OP poisoning was more common in the age group of 21-30 years and males had a higher incidence. Chlorpyriphos (62.5%) was the most common compound. A higher POP score, marked reduction in SChE levels, and increased serum CPK levels were observed to have increased the duration of hospital stay, increased the severity of poisoning, increased the need for ventilator support and also increased the mortality.

Authors: Modi Parth. J. , Nerlekar H. V.
Published: April 2022

An ideal hernia repair must be tension free, tissue based and have no complications. In Desarda operation a 1-2 cm strip of external oblique aponeurosis which is isolated and sutured to conjoint tendon and inguinal ligament resulting in strengthening of the posterior inguinal canal. Lichtenstein’s repair uses prolene mesh and is a tension free repair. Compare Desarda tissue repair with Lichtenstein mesh repair for treatment of primary inguinal hernia. OBJECTIVE: To compare post-operative pain, to compare post-operative complications, to compare hospital stay, to compare rate of recurrence This study enrolled 160 patients of inguinal hernia who are divided into two groups of 80. Group D included patients who underwent Desarda procedure for hernia repair and group L included patients who underwent Lichtenstein mesh repair. The results were compiled and analysed using SPSS version 20 statistical software. Severity of post-operative pain on POD1 and POD7 in group L was higher when compare to group D. Scrotal swelling was 1.25% in group D and 8.75% in group L. The occurrence of seroma was 2.5% in group D and 11.25% in group L. The occurrence of hematoma and wound infection were comparable in both the groups.

Authors: Yeleshwaram Vignesh , Patil Virendra. C. , Mehta Pranav , Damle Avanti , Kasireddy Shivamsh
Published: April 2022

Background: Hepatorenal syndrome (HRS) is a potentially reversible, functional renal failure that occurs in patients with advanced liver disease. HRS is generally characterized by increased serum creatinine, azotemia, reduced diuresis, increased urine osmolarity, and reduced urine sodium values without signs of organic kidney damage1. AIM: The aim of the study is to investigate the efficacy, adverse effects, and outcomes of Terlipressin with Albumin vs. only Albumin in patients diagnosed with hepatorenal syndrome. Material and methods: A single centred hospital-based descriptive ,observational study was conducted in patients admitted with a diagnosis of hepatorenal syndrome for 18 months (October 2019 to March 2021). A total 80 cases were studied. Results: All the parameters including Total Bilirubin, SGPT ( Serum glutamate pyruvate transaminase ), INR ( Internationalised normalised ratio ) and Serum Albumin were found to be similar ion both the groups except except SGOT (p=0.002) which was found to be significantly lower in Terlipressin +Albumin treatment group (61.89±47.83) compared to only albumin .(96.80±109.30). Those who were treated with Terlipressin +Albumin showed significant decrease in serum creatinine. A significant decrease in serum creatinine was observed at Day 5 (1.73±1.49) from Day 1 (3.47±1.68) making a mean percentage decrease of 50.14%.

Authors: Thorat Sanjay , Damle Avanti , Bajaj Radhika , Rane Vaibhav , Pawar Pankaj , Patil Nikhil
Published: April 2022

Objectives: Several unique characteristics have been found in severe COVID19, such as lymphopenia, old age, high CRP level, elevated D dimer levels and underlying comorbid diseases. Serum albumin, being a negative acute phase reactant has been found to be associated with inflammatory response and poor outcomes in infectious diseases. The aim of the study was to analyse whether the serum albumin levels on admission might reflect the severity of systemic inflammation in COVID 19 infection and thus serve as an early predictive factor for COVID 19 outcomes. Materials and Method: This retrospective observational study included 185 COVID-19 positive patients. Laboratory data was recorded from blood samples collected at admission and analyzed by standard methods in the laboratory. Hypoalbuminemia was defined as serum albumin levels <3.5g/dl. p < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: In the 185 COVID 19 patients studied, average age was 51.29 (±15.68) years. The study population had a male predominance (68.11%). 85 (45.95%) individuals were found to have hypoalbuminemia on admission. 18 (9.73%) deaths were reported amongst the study population and  a significant association was found between low serum albumin levels on admission and mortality.(p < 0.001).
Assessment of the knowledge and awareness of private practitioners (BDS/MDS) engaged in general dentistry for emergency management of avulsed teeth in children

Published: April 2022

Dental trauma are accidental injuries, that may occur in any stage of life, be it infancy, childhood, adolescence or adulthood. Most TDIs occur at home, followed by at school and in the street or other public places. Such injuries may have better prognosis if the general public were informed about basic first-aid measures and seek medical care promptly. As dental healthcare providers, it is our responsibility to identify and either provide the necessary care for children with acute traumatic dental injuries or refer the case for optimal care depending on the complexity of the injury and the clinician’s knowledge, and expertise. Dental traumatology requires more attention and profound discussion in paediatric dentistry as dental and oro-facial trauma is being encountered commonly, in children.

Published: April 2022

With the sudden outbreak of corona virus pandemic in 2019, there is a paucity of data on the clinical and epidemiological profile of COVID positive paediatric patients. Objective of the study was a retrospective analysis of clinico-etiological profile of COVID-19 paediatric patients admitted to a tertiary care centre Karad. A retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted in the Paediatric Department of tertiary care hospital Krishna Institute of medical sciences deemed to be university, Karad, from 22 March 2020 till 30 November 2020. A total of 154 children were enrolled. Among neonates, all were born to COVID-19 positive mothers and were asymptomatic and SARI in children less than 1 year (excluding neonates) (33%) and in the 1-5 years age group (15.8%). In children more than 5 years, acute febrile illnesses were the main admitting diagnosis (27.5%). Asymptomatic children (33.7%) dominated the COVID19 positive group. The most common symptom included fever (35.7%) with no reported mortality. Atypical symptoms (64.3%) were more common than respiratory symptoms. The majority of children had mild COVID-19 symptoms (67%). The unusual presentation of COVID-19 was in the form of diarrhoea (9.7%) in the symptomatic group.

Published: April 2022

Root canal decontamination is a crucial step in achieving endodontic success. For this, absolute eradication of microbes from root canal is of paramount importance. This in vivo study aimed at comparing the Conventional, EndoActivator and EndoVac irrigation system in reducing intracanal bacterial load. 70 necrotic, single rooted teeth having chronic periapical lesions were selected for endodontic therapy and randomly assigned into three groups. Group 1 – 20 teeth treated using Conventional needle irrigation. Group 2 – 20 teeth treated using EndoActivator system. Group 3– 20 teeth treated using EndoVac system. After the surface disinfection, access opening was done. Groupwise irrigation with NaOCl (VISHAL DENTOCARE PVT.LTD.) and EDTA (AMMDENT CANALARGE) was done with each canal in between instrumentation. Data were obtained by culturing bacterial samples of root canal before and after chemomechanical preparation under both aerobic and anaerobic conditions and CFU was counted. Statistical analysis - Paired‘t’ test was used for intragroup comparisons while ANOVA test followed by the “post hoc Games Howell test” for intergroup comparisons. Significant post-operative reduction in bacterial colony counts was seen with all the groups. EndoVac group had significantly higher mean log reduction in CFU counts than Conventional group.
Comparison of benchmarking algorithms in Prosthesis
Authors: Salwan Deepali , Kant Shri
Published: April 2022

Due to the remarkable performance of deep reinforcement algorithms in numerous benchmark tests and current environmental setups, Deep Reinforcement Learning has gained a lot of attention in recent years. In such methods, the combination of Deep Learning, which is already well established and strong, and Reinforcement Learning, which is unique, provides amazing results. To enable valuable technical and practical insights into these methods and their results, it is deemed necessary that this paper provides a comprehensive look at these methods and their results, which is concise, accurate, and comparable. Passive prostheses don't fully restore lost functions like robot prostheses do for amputees with transfemoral amputations. There are, however, several issues that must be resolved before an automatic control system could be developed for prosthetic devices. It is a natural tool to use that is based on reinforcement learning (RL). The controlled prosthesis should be able to adapt to different task environments as quickly and easily as possible when it is controlling the prosthesis with the user in the loop. When an environment changes during a runtime, most real-time agents have to re-learn all the rules.
Isusovo seberazumijevanje i sebeostvarenje kao trpećeg sluge.
Authors: Singbo Odilon-Gbènoukpo
Published: April 2022

Autor u radu nastoji istraživati biblijske temelje govora o trpećem sluzi, polazeći najprije od proroka Izaije, zatim od svijesti koju Isus ima o sebi kao sluzi koji treba mnogo pretrpjeti. Premda ima moć, tu moć najbolje očituje i ostvaruje kroz služenje, a ne kroz dominaciju nad drugima. Takva Isusova svijest i način djelovanja postaje temeljno načelo po kojem su se pozvani ravnati njegovi učenici, osobito u vremenu pandemije i drugih prirodno-društvenih kriza. Rad je podijeljen u tri dijela. U prvom dijelu pod naslovom »Biblijski temelji govora o Isusu kao sluzi« obrađuje se Isusovo razumijevanje vlastitog poslanja kao onoga koji, premda ima moć, poslužuje. Posebnost te moći očituje se upravo kroz diakoniju. Drugi dio pod naslovom »Isus kao trpeći sluga« sintetički analizira starozavjetni govor o trpećem sluzi Jahvinom, čiji se način djelovanja u mnogočemu podudara s događajem Isusa Krista, Pomazanika u kojem svako trpljenje osobito pandemijsko, premda i dalje zagonetno, dobiva novu perspektivu. Treći dio pod naslovom »Su-patnja i su-osjećanje: neki teološko-etički naglasci« bavi se aktualizacijom kršćanskog pogleda na otajstvo zla te likom Isusa supatnika, koji svojom utješnom prisutnošću i solidarnošću su-pati s čovjekom. Promišljanje o toj Isusovoj logici iznjedrilo je potrebu za teologijom suosjećanja u kontekstu aktualne pandemije. Težište je ovdje stavljeno na shvaćanje ljudske patnje u svjetlu vazmenog događaja čija se logika protivi svakom obliku dolorizma te pomaže shvatiti vrijednost života onkraj zemaljsko-vremenitih granica.
Govor o mudrosti u kontekstu Knjige Otkrivenja
Authors: Benaković Ivan
Published: April 2022

Govoriti o mudrosti u kontekstu Knjige Otkrivenja uistinu je kompleksno. Prije svega, poteškoća zasigurno jest uspostava stabilne veze između govora o mudrosti i apokaliptici. Ipak, pravilno shvaćen grčki pojam mudrosti – σοφία – u sebi krije nešto od smisla apokaliptike. Naravno, ukoliko je mudrost ne tek pasivno znanje koje posjeduje individua, nego ipak aktivno zalaganje, odnosno traganje za istinskim životom u okvirima stvorenog svijeta. Grčku riječ σοφία u Knjizi Otkrivenja nalazimo svega četiri puta: Otk 5,12; 7,12; 13,18; 17,9. Na prvom mjestu ta je riječ Kristov atribut, a na drugom kao Božji atribut. S druge strane, ta se riječ rabi na još dvama mjestima gdje je čovjek pozvan biti mudrom osobom. Dok je, dakle, Bog onaj koji ima karakter mudrosti, čovjek je onaj koji treba povjerovati u mogućnost svojeg mudrog djelovanja. U ovom se radu, stoga, prvo pokušava dati odgovor na značenja i smisao riječi σοφία u kontekstu antičkog svijeta i biblijskih spisa te potom prikazati vezu između mudrosne i apokaliptičke književnosti. To će biti učinjeno analizom onih mjesta unutar Knjige Otkrivenja gdje nalazimo riječ σοφία ne bi li se postigla zaokružena slika o smislu i značenju govora o mudrosti u Knjizi Otkrivenja.

Introduction:

Medicaid expansion has allowed more patients to undergo total hip arthroplasty (THA). Given the continued focus on the opioid epidemic, we sought to determine whether patients with Medicaid insurance differed in their postoperative pain and narcotic requirements compared with privately or Medicare-insured patients.

Methods:

A single-institution database was used to identify adult patients who underwent elective THA between 2016 and 2019. Patients in the Medicaid group received Medicaid insurance, while the non-Medicaid group was insured commercially or through Medicare. Subgroup analysis was done, separating the private pay from Medicare patients.

Results:

A total of 5,845 cases were identified: 326 Medicaid (5.6%) and 5,519 non-Medicaid (94.4%). Two thousand six hundred thirty-five of the non-Medicaid group were insured by private payors. Medicaid patients were younger (56.1 versus 63.28 versus 57.4 years; P < 0.001, P < 0.05), less likely to be White (39.1% versus 78.2% versus 76.2%; P < 0.001), and more likely to be active smokers (21.6% versus 8.8% versus 10.5%; P < 0.001). Surgical time (113 versus 96 versus 98 mins; P < 0.001) and length of stay (2.7 versus 1.7 versus 1.4 days; P < 0.001) were longer for Medicaid patients, with lower home discharge (86.5% versus 91.8% versus 97.2%; P < 0.001). Total opioid consumption (178 morphine milligram equivalents [MMEs] versus 89 MME versus 82 MME; P < 0.001) and average MME/day in the first 24 hours and 24 to 48 hours (52.3 versus 44.7 versus 44.45; P < 0.001 and 73.8 versus 28.4 versus 29.8; P < 0.001) were higher for Medicaid patients. This paralleled higher pain scores (2.71 versus 2.31 versus 2.38; P < 0.001) and lower Activity Measure for Post-Acute Care scores (18.77 versus 20.98 versus 21.61; P < 0.001).

Conclusions:

Medicaid patients presenting for THA demonstrated worse postoperative pain and required more opioids than their non-Medicaid counterparts. This highlights the need for preoperative counseling and optimization in this at-risk population. These patients may benefit from multidisciplinary intervention to ensure that pain is controlled while mitigating the risk of continuation to long-term opioid use.
Environmental Sustainability in Orthopaedic Surgery
Authors: Engler Ian D. , Curley Andrew J. , Fu Freddie H. , Bilec Melissa M.
Published: April 2022

Climate change has been increasingly recognized in the healthcare sector over recent years, with global implications in infrastructure, economics, and public health. As a result, a growing field of study examines the role of healthcare in contributing to environmental sustainability. These analyses commonly focus on the environmental impact of the operating room, due to extensive energy and resource utilization in surgery. While much of this literature has arisen from other surgical specialties, several environmental sustainability studies have begun appearing in the field of orthopaedic surgery, consisting mostly of waste audits and, less frequently, more comprehensive environmental life cycle assessments. The present study aims to review this limited evidence. The results suggest that methods to reduce the environmental impact of the operating room include proper selection of anesthetic techniques that have a smaller carbon footprint, minimization of single use instruments, use of minimalist custom-design surgical packs, proper separation of waste, and continuation or implementation of recycling protocols. Future directions of research include higher-level studies, such as comprehensive life cycle assessments, to identify more opportunities to decrease the environmental impact of orthopaedic surgery.

Published: April 2022

Introduction: We aimed to identify the molecular diagnostic techniques available for urinary tract infection (UTI) diagnosis and their accuracy compared to traditional urinary culture.
Methods: A systematic search was performed in MEDLINE (OVID), EMBASE, LILACS, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL). The populations were adult and pediatric patients with confirmed UTI by reference standard urine culture. The index test for the diagnosis of UTI was any molecular diagnostic technique. The primary outcome was the diagnosis of UTI with measures of sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values (PPV and NPV, respectively), positive likelihood ratio (LR+), negative likelihood ratio (LR–), diagnostic odds ratio (DOR), and area under the curve. The operative characteristics were determined, and a meta-analysis was performed. The evaluation of each included study was performed with the Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies-2 (QUADAS-2) tool.
Results: We identified 1230 studies with the search strategies. Ultimately, 13 studies met the inclusion criteria for qualitative analysis, and seven were included for the meta-analysis. Four molecular techniques were identified; however, it was only possible to synthesize the information from two of them. In multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) meta-analysis, overall sensitivity was 0.80 (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.73–0.86) and specificity was 0.83 (95% CI 0.52–0.95). For the DOR, the overall result was 21 (95% CI 4.8–95). For reverse transcription (RT)-PCR, sensitivity was 0.94 (95% CI 0.73–0.99) and specificity was 0.59 (95% CI 0.063–0.96). For the DOR, the overall result was 23 (95% CI 1.1–467).
Conclusions: Multiplex PCR and RT-PCR are molecular techniques that might be comparable to standard urine culture for UTI diagnosis. Refinement of these new diagnostic tools will avoid unnecessary antimicrobial therapy and the consequent development of drug-resistant resistant pathogens, as well as improve the ability to identify patients at risk and prevent or minimize sequelae derived from the infection.

Published: April 2022

Introduction: Ureteroscopies (URSs) are commonly performed under general anesthesia (GA) to maximize patient tolerability and minimize surgical complications. However, given the improvements in endoscopic technology and risks associated with GA, alternate forms of anesthesia have been postulated. We aimed to evaluate the outcomes of URS under conscious sedation.
Methods: We completed a retrospective cohort study from November 2019 to June 2020 at a tertiary-level hospital. All URSs that were performed under urologist-directed conscious sedation were included. Our primary outcome was the ability to complete URSs, defined as success rate. Secondary outcomes included: stone-free rate, intraoperative complication rate, hospital admission rate, and sedation requirement. Univariate- and multivariate-adjusted logistic regression analyses were employed.
Results: Ninety-nine URSs were included. Most (73/99, 73.7%) were performed for urolithiasis. The overall success rate was 83.8% (83/99), with 81.0% (34/42) intra-renal and 70.0% (16/23) proximal ureter success rates. The stone-free rate was 80.8% (59/73). No intraoperative complications nor hospital admissions were reported. The mean amount of sedation required was three (interquartile range [IQR] 2–4] mg of midazolam and 100 (100–150) μg of fentanyl. On multivariate analysis, midazolam was significantly associated with increased success (odds ratio 2.496, 95% confidence interval 1.057–5.892, p=0.037).
Conclusions: We have shown that proximal and intra-renal URS under conscious sedation is safe and effective. We were limited by our lack of followup, small sample size, selection bias to chose healthy patients, and lack of patient tolerability data. Patients and healthcare systems may benefit from implementing this innovation more broadly.

Introduction: To understand the role of the urinary microbiome in disease states and interpret non-culture-based diagnostic urine testing of midstream urine specimens, we must have a better understanding of the urinary microbiome in asymptomatic healthy individuals. We examined the impact of gender, age, and menopausal status on the healthy human urinary microbiome in asymptomatic control subjects enrolled in the multi-institution National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) Multidisciplinary Approach to the Study of Chronic Pelvic Pain Network (MAPP) study.
Methods: Asymptomatic healthy controls, recruited to be age- and sex-matched to patients in the Trans-MAPP Epidemiology and Phenotyping Study, provided midstream urine collection for polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-electrospray ionization mass spectrometry identification of urinary microbiota. The microbiomes of male and female participants were described and analyzed for differences in composition and diversity at the species and genus level by sex, age, and, in females, by menopausal status.
Results: Sixty-six total species were detected with a mean of 1.2 species (standard deviation [SD] 1.1) per male (n=97; mean age=43) and 2.3 (SD 1.3) per female (n=110, mean age=38) in asymptomatic healthy controls. Species and genera diversity analyses showed significantly greater richness and diversity in females. With regard to species, Bifidobacterium subtile, Lactobacillus crispatus, and Lactobacillus johnsonii were more predominant in females. The genera Bifidobacterium, Staphylococcus, Lactobacillus, and Corynebacterium were more predominant in females, while for males the most prevalent organisms included Staphylococcus and Propionibacterium; only Propionibacterium approached a significant difference between genders. No significant difference in the presence and/or diversity of micro-organisms with menopausal status could be observed. Sex-specific age trends, particularly diversity, were larger for females than males.
Conclusions: These results suggest the urinary microbiome of healthy asymptomatic subjects differed between genders and age in females, but not menopausal status. Gender differences may be attributable to the detection of urethral/vaginal organisms in females and prostate organisms in males. These findings will better allow us to interpret the results of microbiome reports in the midstream urine specimens of patients with urinary symptoms.

Published: April 2022

Introduction: Retained ureteral stents may constitute a technical challenge. The purpose of this study was to analyze the patient population with retained ureteral stents with regards to stent sizes to better understand if these factors could play a pivotal role in their encrustation.
Methods: After institutional review board approval, we retrospectively analyzed the data of patients who underwent multimodal surgical procedures for the removal of retained ureteral stents from 2010–2018. The primary outcomes analyzed were ureteral stent length and diameter, location of stent placement, and patients’ demographics as potential etiologies for encrustation.
Results: We included 30 patients with 32 encrusted ureteral stents and 37 patients with 46 forgotten non-retained ureteral stents. Indications for stenting included urolithiasis, malignancy, pregnancy, ureteral stricture, and ureteropelvic junction obstruction. Stent diameters ranged from 6 Fr. to 8.5 Fr. Stent lengths ranged from 22 to 30 cm, and multilength stents were used too. Smaller diameter stents were less likely to be retained when compared to larger diameter stents (>6 Fr.) (p=0.002). Overall stent length was not found to be significant (p=0.251); however, the difference in stent surface area differed by over 1cm (p<0.001). Patients who were uninsured were more likely to have retained stents (p=0.003). Patients who reside with longer commuting distance to the main academic medical center were more likely to have retained stents (p=0.010).
Conclusions: Retained ureteral stents could be avoided. Taking into consideration ureteral anatomical variation among patients, smaller diameter stents and smaller surface area may prevent encrustation. Uninsured patients, with farther distance to seek medical care, and females are the most at risk.
MICHEL FOUCAULT E AS (IN)CERTEZAS DA HISTÓRIA
Authors: Luz Ceres , Carvalho Alexandre
Published: April 2022

No final dos anos 1960, a historiografia moderna passa por transformações advindas das mudanças sociais que colocaram em xeque os parâmetros da história social. No bojo desse processo, Michel Foucault, filósofo francês, questiona os cânones epistemológicos da história social científica, em particular, as questões relacionadas com a verdade, rupturas e relações de poder, introduzindo os regimes discursivos no seio da análise historiográfica por meio de uma história do pensamento. A trajetória da “arqueologia” foucaultiana será investigada neste artigo em uma perspectiva dialógica com a historiografia, em especial, a francesa, com o fito de perceber as influências do pensamento foucaultiano na renovação conceitual e empírica da prática e do pensamento historiográficos.

Authors: Klever Lucas
Published: April 2022

Este artigo pretende discutir a representação da elite de Copacabana, Ipanema, Leme (CIL) durante o período de participação do Brasil na Segunda Guerra Mundial, nas páginas do jornal Beira-Mar. A justificativa se dá pelas poucas pesquisas no âmbito da antiga capital federal durante a guerra, além disso, com foco na elite e utilizando esta fonte. Para isso, foi necessária uma breve introdução aos bairros da zona sul, à ditadura estado-novista (1937-45), imprensa daquele período para situar o jornal Beira-Mar. Para tanto será feito tanto uma revisão bibliográfica, análise dos anúncios de elite do periódico, quanto será dada atenção para outros documentos da época.
Nexus between Firm Ownership, Board Composition and Initial Public Offering Stocks Performance at the Nairobi Securities Exchange in Kenya

Published: April 2022

Extant literature has globally demonstrated two anomalies of initial public offering stocks performance: positive initial returns and long run underperformance. Kenya’s IPO market is experiencing a downward trend. The last issue was in 2015. Bond market has gained traction compared to equity market. Studies have associated firm specific factors to IPO stocks performance and ignored the moderating variable of automation. The study analysed the relationship between firm ownership, board composition and IPO stocks performance at NSE. The percentage of shares owned by the Kenyan government was used to measure firm ownership and board composition was measured by percentage of executive board members to total board members. The performance of IPO stocks was measured using both Cumulative Abnormal Returns and Buy and Hold Abnormal Returns. Automation was measured by IPO stocks performance between pre and post automation period. The sample size was 15 firms which floated shares between 1994 and 2019 with 2,586 observations. Secondary source was used to collect data. Longitudinal and descriptive study designs were used together with multiple linear regression to analyse the data. To determine between fixed and random effects, the study used Hausman test. It was established that both firm ownership and board compositions correlated negatively with IPO stocks performance. Automation on the other hand was positively correlated with board composition but did not correlate with firm ownership. This study will assist the Kenyan government in developing financial stability measures and investors in making informed decisions.

Published: April 2022

Based on the analysing phenotypic and genotypic properties, the taxonomic position of isolates  # 46 and  # 47 was established and assigned to the species Comamonas testosteronі UCM B-400 and UCM B-401. Isolates were selected from the soil with organochlorine wastes landfill of chemical enterprises in Kalush, Ivano-Frankivsk region, Ukraine. The strains are resistant to high hexachlorobenzene concentrations. According to morphological, cultural and biochemical properties, the studied strains are related to typical members of the Comamonadaceae family, they are motile gram-negative rods, aerobic, chemoorganotrophic. Saturated and unsaturated fatty acids with a carbon chain length from C10 to C18 were found in composition of cellular lipids. The qualitative and quantitative composition of marker hydroxy acids, namely: 2 hydroxyhexadecane (C16: 0 2OH) and 3 hydroxydecane (C10: 0 3OH) in the lipids of the strains ranged from 2-5%, which corresponded to their content in the representatives of the Comamonas genus. Phylogenetic analysing the nucleotide sequences of the 16S rRNA gene revealed the affinity of isolates # 46 (97.77%) and # 47 (98.05%) with a similar nucleotide sequence of a typical strain of Comamonas testosteroni LMG 1800. The 16S rRNA nucleotide sequences of Comamonas testosteroni UCM B-400 and UCM B-401 were placed in GenBank under the numbers SUB9376895 Comamonas_testosteroni_46    MW861636 and SUB9376895 Comamonas_testosteroni_47    MW861637.
