Authors: De Sousa Rodrigues Jediael , Ferreira Marques de Melo Janaina
Published: May 2022

Esta pesquisa tem como finalidade analisar o disclosure dos gastos com o meio ambiente das empresas de alto impacto ambiental, cadastradas no Índice de Sustentabilidade Empresarial (ISE), mensurando seu nível de divulgação por meio da análise de conteúdo e identificando a relação das receitas líquidas com os gastos, por meio do Índice de Gastos Ambientais (IGA).  Os instrumentos de coleta de dados foram as Notas Explicativas e os Relatórios de Sustentabilidade referentes aos exercícios de 2014 a 2016. De acordo com os resultados obtidos, com base na análise de conteúdo, os resultados evidenciaram que, nos três anos, as empresas apresentaram 4.616 categorias ambientais, contudo, nem sempre a evidenciação era totalmente clara com detalhes sobre o que foi investido, gasto ou registro de uma obrigação. Das dezessete empresas do grupo todas investiram um valor da receita liquida, porém, três realizaram em média gastos ambientais que superam 1% da receita líquida nos períodos de 2014 a 2016. Conclui-se, que as principais informações a respeito dos gastos ambientais estão divulgadas de forma não padronizada em seus relatórios.
Políticas públicas de saúde e gestão
Authors: Nonato de Siqueira Neto Raimundo
Published: May 2022

O presente trabalho tem como objetivo descrever a política pública de saúde e gestão. O estudo traz a história da política pública de saúde no Brasil, iniciando com o conceito de saúde, para depois falar sobre política pública. Logo após, descreve sobre a política nacional de atenção básica e para terminar sobre o Sistema Único de Saúde. A intervenção do poder público na questão social brasileira sempre foi apoiada em vários processos de formulação e também de implementação de políticas. Tanto que o esforço para se tentar a entender o que foi a motivação do Estado para que atuasse, por meio de planejamento ou normalização e regulação das políticas sociais, leva ao questionamento o quanto é apropriada as políticas que são executadas quando os resultados são alcançados reforçando a ausência de harmonia entre a demanda e a captação. A implantação das políticas públicas passa a depender da definição de fontes seguras de financiamento, onde são desconsideradas as particularidades locais e dificulta a sua institucionalização. A metodologia utilizada na pesquisa é bibliográfica, prescritiva e qualitativa.

The feasibility of implementing the water market in the Brazilian legal ordinance
Authors: Mendes de Morais Luanda , Assis Oliveira Neto Francisco
Published: May 2022

Water is a public domain good, however this natural resource is limited, justifying the concern of environmentalists with the imminence of a water crisis. The objective of this work is to study the feasibility of applying the water market in the Brazilian legal system as an alternative for preserving and guaranteeing present and future life. At this juncture, there is a necessary problem for the development of the research: The application of the water market would be viable in Brazil for the preservation of environmental resources, or would generate more scarcity and concentration of water in a limited number of people, as a result of the commercialization of water ? As a method of approach, the deductive method will be used, the method of procedure will be qualitative, and the research technique will be exploratory, documentary and bibliographic. The theme gives rise to great divergences and discussions among environmentalists, jurists and scholars, both with the same aim, seeking a sustainable solution for the exploitation of natural resources and guaranteeing human life. Thus, noting it’s social relevance, it is necessary to recognize water as a fundamental guarantee and its preservation, in addition to society's participation and awareness in the discussions surrounding the topic.
Socio-economic and environmental analysis of farmers in the surrounding Jatobá II dan in Princesa Isabel-PB
Authors: Damiana Estevam da Silva Dalva , Lausanne Fontgalland Isabel
Published: May 2022

Family farming is the most common activity in the Northeast region. This term began to be diffused from the 90's, replacing other commonly used expressions. In this sense, the objective of this work is to analyze the socioeconomic and environmental aspects of farmers living around the Jatobá II reservoir in Princesa Isabel-PB. The methodology used was based on research in scientific articles published in journals, books and conferences for theoretical and empirical basis. In addition, 10 questionnaires were applied in September 2021, containing objective and subjective questions in order to collect information about farmers living in the vicinity of the dam. The results show that the level of education is low, income is composed of pensions, crop insurance and family allowance. Furthermore, few farmers use irrigation systems due to the high cost of implementation and maintenance. Despite producing in the vicinity of the reservoir, some farmers use pesticides, harming the environment.
Labor Prosecution Office and social articulation: Analysis of PRT-13’s performance opposite to COVID-19
Authors: Candeia Porto Anderson , Macena de Araújo Jailton
Published: May 2022

The study aimed to demonstrate how the work of the Labor Prosecution Office, as a social articulator, allowed the incitement and conduct of public policies to cope with the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as to prevent and minimize its effects on the labor world, specifically analyzing the performance carried out through the Regional Prosecutor’s Office of Labor from the 13th Region (PRT-13). Through the use of a methodology consisting of exploratory research and indirect  ocumentar technique, with  ocumentar and bibliographic research modes, it was possible to verify that, by expanding its actions of a resolutive nature, the Labor Prosecution Office represented a significant support for the working class in face of the pandemic. It was concluded, nevertheless, that this type of action still needs to be stimulated, considering that the Prosecution’s Office performance continues to be notably demanding, therefore the expansion and structuring of a resolutive Prosecution Office is needed.

Published: May 2022

This research aimed to conduct a survey of the disposal and collection of expired drugs in pharmacies and drugstores in the city of Pombal - PB, and verify the perception of residents on this subject.  The methodology used consisted in the application of two questionnaires, one for the establishments, and the other for the residents, and later, the data were processed. Of the pharmacies that answered the questionnaire, 50% said they received the drugs and intended for a private company specialized for incineration, and the other 50% said they did not perform such action. About the habit of keeping medicines at home, 95% of the interviewees stated that they store medications in the residence, and of these, 91% reported taking all care to leave it out of reach of children. Regarding the disposal of expired drugs, the majority discards in the common waste (68%) or in the sink/toilet (23%).  In the matter, the majority (91%) stated that they had not received any instruction on the disposal and storage of expired medicines. Even if not receiving information on the subject, it is clear that most are aware of the risks of irregular disposal. It is concluded that most of the interviewees are aware of the negative impacts, but still perform the inadequate disposal, probably because there is no greater orientation of government agencies. It is necessary and urgent compliance with the laws by the establishments, and greater dissemination to the population.

The antipsychotic-induced metabolic disorders (AIMD) are common side effects during the treatment of schizophrenia. Single nucleotide polymorphisms in the genes associated with AIMD, in particular in the leptin and neuropeptide Y genes were explored. The aim of this study was to develop a real-time PCR technique for SNP allele discrimination and allele frequency estimation in the Russian population. A total of 9 real-time PCR tests for rs7799039, rs1137101, rs8179183, rs16147, rs6837793, rs11100494, rs1414334, rs3813929 and rs518147 SNPs were developed and examined using 106 DNA samples. The revealed allele frequencies did not show any statistically significant differences with ones for the Caucasian population from Ensembl data base. Thus, our results are in accordance with the allele frequencies for the studied populations and allow using published data on the risk alleles for the development of new diagnostics PCR kits for the complex diagnostics of AIMD.

Background: Suicidal behaviour is the leading cause of mortality from external causes at all ages worldwide. More than a million people commit completed suicide each year. According to the World Health Organisation, 25-50% of suicide victims suffered from alcohol and other substance use disorders, 22% of all suicide deaths were attributable to alcohol use (WHO, 2014). Several papers have suggested potential associations of insomnia and increased suicide risk in patients with alcoholism. We hypothesise that mutations in melatonin receptor genes may be associated with suicide risk in patients with alcoholism.

Methods. The Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) was used as a tool to assess the presence and severity of insomnia. The Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS) was used as a method to examine suicidal behavior. Genotyping of MTNR1A (rs34532313), MTNR1B (rs10830963) genes was performed using real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). A comparative genetic study of two groups of patients was carried out: the first group, patients with alcohol dependence syndrome (F10.2); the second group, patients with alcohol dependence syndrome (F10.2) and insomnia, which persisted 7-14 days after starting alcohol withdrawal therapy.

Results. Suicidal thoughts and a history of auto-aggressive behaviour were more common in subjects with insomnia in the post-withdrawal period. Carriers of the TT genotype of the MTNR1A gene (rs34532313) were more likely to have suicidal thoughts and a history of suicide attempts in a genetic study of patients with insomnia.

Conclusions. Our study found that the TT genotype of the MTNR1A gene (rs34532313) is a genetic marker of suicidal behaviour risk in patients with insomnia in the post-withdrawal period. However, the same pattern was not observed in patients without insomnia.

Xestospongia sp. is one of marine sponge that can be found in Southeast Sulawesi. It belongs to Demospongiae classes which have shown many pharmacological activities such as antioxidant. Thus, this study aimed to identify isolates from Xestospongia sp. and its activity as antioxidant and anti-inflammatory. Isolation were carried out by chromatography technique including Thin Layer Chromatrography (TLC), vacuum liquid chromatography (VLC) and radial chromatography (RC) with silica gel as an adsorbent. Structure of isolated compounds were determined by spectroscopy methods i.e. FTIR, 1H and 13C NMR and also by comparison with those reported values. Biological activity of Xestospongia sp was also evaluated using DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) radicals and Human Red Blood Cell (HRBC) methods. Four compounds isolated and identified from methanol extract of Xestospongia sp. were steroids that are (1) purchrasterol, (2) xestosterol, (3) saringosterol, and (4) 5α,8α-epidioxy-24α-ethylcholest-6-en-3β-ol. The extract and the compounds showed antioxidant activity against DPPH radicals in which the extract was stronger than the isolated compounds. Furthermore, the Xestospongia sp. extract exhibited a dose-dependant anti-inflammatory activity by stabilizing red blood cell membranes at concentrations ranging from 50 to 3200 ppm. In conclusion, Xestospongia sp. extract which contain sterol compounds, such as purchrasterol, xestosterol, saringosterol and 5α,8α-epidioxy-24α-ethylcholest-6-en-3β-ol provides antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity.
Venous leg ulcers: A practical guide to management
Authors:   Essentia Health, Duluth MN, USA.
Published: May 2022

Venous leg ulcers are common. They are usually chronic, costly, and recurrent. They adversely impact patients psychologically and physically. Despite the availability of simple, cost-effective measures to heal them and prevent their recurrence, their incidence has not been decreasing. For a variety of reasons like socioeconomic issues, increasing prevalence of obesity and sedentary lifestyle, treatment continues to be challenging. Management of venous leg ulcers start with taking detailed history, doing thorough examination, and sometimes ordering labs and imaging studies. This will enable the providers to make an accurate diagnosis, uncover the underlying pathology and assess any associated conditions like ischemia. The underlying pathology could be abnormal valvular reflux, venous obstruction, or combination of the two. Gravity and intraabdominal pressure are the main forces causing and aggravating venous leg ulcers. It is critical to define the underlying pathology and any associated condition that could interfere with the healing process like obesity, sedentary lifestyle, sleeping in chairs and ischemia. In addition to appropriate wound care, elevation of feet above heart level, wearing knee high compression stockings, doing regular exercises and weight loss in patients who are obese are usually adequate to heal most patients with venous leg ulcers. There is no specific frequency and duration is required for elevating the feet however the more frequent and the longer time the patients elevate their feet, the quicker their ulcers heal. Using effective compression over the wound dressing is important and requires frequent monitoring. Lower extremity exercises are critical even in patients who are not ambulatory. These measures are important even in patients who may need venous procedures to help heal their ulcers and prevent their recurrence. Keywords: venous ulcer; gravity; obesity; leg elevation; exercise; compression stockings.
Experimental observation of the geostrophic turbulence regime of rapidly rotating convection
Authors: Gallet Basile
Published: May 2022

The competition between turbulent convection and global rotation in planetary and stellar interiors governs the transport of heat and tracers, as well as magnetic-field generation. These objects operate in dynamical regimes ranging from weakly rotating convection to the 'geostrophic turbulence' regime of rapidly rotating convection. However, the latter regime has remained elusive in the laboratory, despite a worldwide effort to design ever-taller rotating convection cells over the last decade.
Building on a recent experimental approach where convection is driven radiatively, I will report heat transport measurements in quantitative agreement with this scaling regime, the experimental scaling-law being validated against direct numerical simulations (DNS) of the idealized setup. The scaling exponent from both experiments and DNS agrees well with the geostrophic turbulence prediction. The prefactor of the scaling-law is greater than the one diagnosed in previous idealized numerical studies, pointing to an unexpected sensitivity of the heat transport efficiency to the precise distribution of heat sources and sinks, which greatly varies from planets to stars.
Decoding Caste and Power-Structure in Tendulkar’s Kanyadaan
Authors: Rajeev Yadav  , Dr. V. P. Singh
Published: May 2022

Social structure is a power-structure where every social category reflects the power relations with other in hierarchy. Caste is one of the decisive derivatives in India to measure human relations. It is something which has defined the social hierarchy based on the birth of an individual. Caste has become the most striking method of discrimination of people in India with its maligned and fabricated interpretations. Indeed, it has been originated for distribution of people on the basis of their work for proper functioning of society. Vijay Tendulkar, a Marathi playwright and one of the founding pillars of Modern Indian Drama along with Mohan Rakesh, Badal Sircar and Girish Karnad, has discussed the problems of caste discrimination and general perspectives about inter-caste marriages in India in his play Kanyadaan. Through this play Vijay Tendulkar also tries to reflect his thoughts on contradictory relationship between imaginary idealism and harsh realism; and also on texture of modernity and social change in India through the marriage of two people of different castes and backgrounds. The present paper is an effort to analyse Tendulkar’s Kanyadaan, originally written in Marathi and later on translated into English, as social documentary on relationship between caste and social structure based on power-relations, caste-based discrimination, inter-caste marriage and pseudo-idealism prevalent in the course of social and cultural progress. The present paper also deals with decoding of the phenomenon of ‘violence’ employed in caste-based power relations in the society.
The Impact of Digital World on Our Identity
Authors: Rohi Rani
Published: May 2022

Identity means the overall discernment about oneself. It consists of our devotion, conviction, philosophy, attributes, feelings and other likely things. Identity is not somewhat which is innate rather it is wrought up in the hurly-burly of our life. Earlier it had an effect from only countable factors i.e personal and social identity but however with the emersion of social networking sites in the 21st century a new-fangled element has been added to the impression of identity formation i.e, digital identity. Here a significant inquiry is “are you the unchanged person in online or offline mode”? This digital identity had actually become our jiffy self which we modified from time to time in order to take delivery of indulgence that with the upshot we have vanished our genuine self while determining the phony one. We are racing gratuitously while closing the eyes to the veracity that “everything is not everybody’s goblet.” Earlier we had to first put up with something that is palpable for recognition but in the contemporary society individuals are having a prospect to depict themselves speciously for their naming, say it their profession, bonding status, age, likes, dislikes and like supplementary things. As a result, identity is susceptible to identity crises for the reason that people are having added than an identity to present and supervise.  People are paying more consideration to the stance of others allied to themselves and in order to present themselves upto the keenness of others so that positive reception will come from all corners. People are all set to cross any limits particularly in case of the teens. The central part of the paper is to bring light the sequel of social media in the formation of identity.  This paper will also underline how this identity is subject to deformation with the erroneous impact and badly chosen ways to contract with social media.
Ecoconsciousness in the Works of Select American Writers
Authors: Dr. E. Esther Rosalind
Published: May 2022

American authors have shown a special interest in ecology right from the times of Transcendentalism. The transcendentalists especially are of the opinion that Divinity is revealed through Nature and when people communicate with Nature it’s a means of connecting with God. This idea was advocated by Ralph Waldo Emerson, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Robert Frost, Kate Chopin and Sarah Orne Jewett. These authors are sensitive to their environment and demonstrate ecoconsciousness through their works, which paved way for a distinct class of writing.
Delineation of Male Characters and Sensibilities in the Novels of Manju Kapur: A Critical Analysis
Authors: Dr. Gajendra Dutt Sharma
Published: May 2022

The research article aims to analyse the delineation of male characters in the novels of Manju Kapur. It tries to highlight the image of male characters from the perspective of a woman writer, who happens to be a feminist. In contemporary Indian English fiction dominated by women writers the primary focus is on the representation of women characters and addressing their sensibilities, their plight and place in patriarchal setting. As such, the male characters have been presented either with less vigour or as typical chauvinistic individual, responsible for the ordeals of women in society. In very few novels by women novelists in modern scenario do we find the sympathetic treatment given to the male characters. Considering this aspect of modern Indo-Anglian fiction, the article endeavours to examine the portrayal of male characters in women centric novels, by a woman writer. The qualitative method has been used to deduce how much and how sympathetic treatment has been given to the male characters by the novelist. In order to analyse the representation of men, Manju Kapoor's Difficult Daughters (1998), A Married Woman (2003), Home (2006), and The Immigrant (2008) have been brought under study. A comparison between the representation of men in the novels by men writers and that in the novels by women writers has been taken into consideration in order to draw an objective and unbiased conclusion.
Travel distance estimation of relation-based storage assignment policies in picker-to-part warehouses
Authors: Hsu-Tung Lee Hsu-Tung Lee
Published: May 2022

Relation-Based Storage Assignment (RBSA), also called the “family grouping method,” has garnered significant interest among researchers and practitioners looking for an intuitive means by which to arrange related Stock Keeping Units (SKUs) in nearby regions for simultaneous picking. However, there is no analytic model for picking distance estimation for RBSA. Most of the related studies have targeted specific cases and applied simulation or mathematical programming to validate the family grouping method’s superiority over traditional storage assignment methods including the random assignment policy. To explore the effects of RBSA, this current study develops a preliminary analytical model of travel distance estimation for low- level, picker-to-part, and pick-by-order warehouses. We use Frequency-Based Storage Assignment (FBSA) as a baseline for comparison. We consider both single-aisle warehouse layouts and two-block, multi-aisle warehouse layouts, with return and traversal picking policies. The skewed ABC distribution curve of SKUs, the number of picks (N) per picking tour, the number of SKUs (n1) in a family, and the number of families (n2) are also taken into account. Our results show that, in comparison with the FBSA method, the RBSA method decreases the picking distance by as much as 32%.

 
Satisfaction trap: The nonlinearity for binding effect of switching cost
Authors: Chih-Liang Luo Chih-Liang Luo , Chih-Liang Luo 張惠真
Published: May 2022

In the context of property management, the services provided by providers include technological products (e.g., identification and monitoring systems for entrances and exits and electronic toll collection identification systems), administrative services (e.g., financial preparation production and public equipment maintenance), and activities related to the establishment of personal relationships (e.g., tourism events and networking dinners). In the property management industry, the switching cost is a common actions adopted to bind customers by providing services, products, and technology and thus obtain a competitive advantage in the market. For example, an independent financial statement generation system that is incompatible with the systems of competing providers can be used to establish a strong relationship with customers and consolidate a service provider’s status.

 However, satisfactory instrumental performance alone does not satisfy customers, because the most crucial considerations for customers involve psychological performance (Swan & Combs, 1976). According to the satisfaction model of self-determination theory, high satisfaction only occurs when an individual perceives that his or her intrinsic needs for competence, autonomy, and relatedness needs are satisfied (Baard et al., 2004). Service providers often use a switching cost as a tool that binds customers when their satisfaction has decreased. External absorptive capacity generally refers to the ability of companies to acquire general knowledge generated outside the environment and from external partners such as customers, suppliers, competitors, research institutions, and consultants (Mariano & Al-Arrayed, 2018; Peeters et al., 2014; Song et al., 2018; Yang & Tsai, 2019). Therefore, high absorptive capacity enables service providers to evaluate and adjust external knowledge to generate new ideas (Nag & Gioia, 2012; Fabrizio, 2009; Yang & Tsai, 2019) and use the knowledge as a mechanism for using the switching-cost binding effect to delay the effect of reduced satisfaction on intention to stay.

Successful treatment of type ii diabetes mellitus with infected diabetic foot ulcer caused by ESBL producing Klebsiella pneumonia with cefepime plus sulbactam (Supime): A case report
Authors: Vijay Shankar Upadhyay  , Ayush Upadhayay
Published: May 2022

Diabetic patients are at significant risk of developing neuropathy, leading to a diabetic foot injury. Complications of diabetic foot injury may lead to gangrene and non-traumatic lower extremity amputations. Diabetic patients with diabetic foot ulcers are more prone to bacterial infections and are associated with high chances of amputation. The diabetic patient flora provides an ideal environment for Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacterial growth, leading to increased morbidity and mortality. The antimicrobial-resistant Gram-negative bacterial infections in diabetic patients have a higher probability of amputation. Here we discuss a case of a 70-year male diabetic patient successfully treated with Supime (cefepime plus sulbactam) who had undergone an amputation of the right great toe and infected left foot ulcer due to ESBL producing K. Pneumonia.
Epistemologia da prática na Educação Infantil: reflexões sobre interculturalidade e BNCC
Authors: Morais Ana Paula dos Santos de , França-Carvalho Antonia Dalva , Amaral Antonio Cardoso do
Published: May 2022

Este trabalho tem como objetivo apresentar uma pesquisa sobre a epistemologia da prática na Educação Infantil, tomando como base a BNCC na perspectiva da interculturalidade. O estudo tem natureza qualitativa e se baseia em referenciais teóricos que abordam a interculturalidade na educação.  Para analisar, descrever como a BNCC apresentamos categorias como cultura, identidade e interculturalidade (MELO; RIBEIRO, 2019; CANDAU, 2016), dentre outros. Os resultados sinalizam que a BNCC preconiza o respeito às culturas e diferenças entre as pessoas, por meio do direito de conviver. Contudo, este direito necessita ser garantido pela escola, por meio de um planejamento rigoroso de atividades pedagógicas que favoreçam o desenvolvimento da competência intercultural, capaz de ampliar o diálogo sobre a riqueza de cada cultura. Esta opção evidencia uma epistemologia da prática na Educação Infantil que, indubitavelmente, fomenta a internalização da inclusão e respeito às diferenças, a constituição da identidade e a formação integral da criança.

Published: May 2022

Strengthening character education of students must follow all subjects held in the national education system. As for the technical in taking the main subjects, while the subjects that are not the main can be studied alone, but there are still difficulties in the centralized Education system, because the number of lessons is very much, not in accordance with talents and interests, it must improve strengthening character education in accelerating subjects contained in the national curriculum. Students are burdened with heavy lessons because they have to learn all subjects in a short and solid time. The learning success factors of students are influenced by internal factors of ability, willingness, sincerity, external factors namely family, school environment, community environment.  So from that education program carried out by the government in the form of regular programs or acceleration in shaping strengthening character education of students, namely providing services especially for students who are talented and have intelligence above the average needs to be considered in their emotional development of students can be balanced. Declining learning outcomes of students because it is influenced by emotional factors, situations and conditions, tension.

Published: May 2022

There is still no consensus on the restoration of endodontically treated posterior teeth in the most appropriate way. With the development of adhesive materials with improved properties and a shift in approach towards minimally invasive dentistry, there is a paradigm change in the restorative modalities of root-filled teeth. Conventionally endodontically treated teeth were restored with post and core followed by a crown, but conservative restorative options have gained popularity with the advancements in adhesive techniques. Many studies have been done, but there is a need to re-explore the scholarly literature with the changing trend. This review article provides a brief overview of the literature on the survival of endodontically treated posterior teeth in relation to the type of post endodontic restoration. A literature search of papers related to the survival of endodontically treated teeth and type of post endodontic restorations published till July 2021 was undertaken in PubMed, MEDLINE, SCOPUS, Web of Science and Science direct.

Myomectomy is a surgical procedure focus on removing the leiomyomas from the uterine cavity, these fibroids is growth that noncancerous nature manifest in uterus. Post-operative nursing care includes a set of activities and interventions that the nurse performed towards the patient after leaving the operating room, the aim of this study is to evaluate postoperative nursing care practices towards patients undergoing to myomectomy. Observational study carried out in five hospitals at Babylon governorate in order to evaluate post-operative nursing care in surgical maternal wards by observe the practices of nursing staff in this wards, 103 nurse were chosen as a sample for this study from the morning and night duties in the hospitals of Babylon province. The results of this study indicated the majority of nurse with age group less than 30 years’ old, more of them with secondary nursing school, work in morning shift and no attendance to any training session regarding the nursing care in postoperative phase through the period of working in hospitals. As well as, the results showed the majority of nurses with poor practice regarding the aspect of postoperative nursing care for patient underwent to surgery for removing uterine fibroids.

This case clearly demonstrate the need for increased awareness of the potential for B. cereus to cause serious systemic infections, even in patients who appear to be otherwise healthy. Unless there is good liaison between the pathologist and clinicians, their role in genuine infection can be easily overlooked.  Knowing that Bacillus species can cause life-threatening infections in such apparently normal hosts should prevent clinicians from regarding these organisms as mere contaminants when they are recovered from seriously ill patients. Initial empirical treatment with β- lactam antibiotics in patients showing aerobic gram positive rods may be avoided which may preclude the treatment of B.cereus.

In large Japanese companies, in general, the ratio between the number of people in one level of cement and the level below is roughly one in three. Namely a president with 2 or three people recruited by the manager who is responsible to him, and in charge of approximately 10 heads of departments. Each section is divided into approximately 3 sections and this section is divided into 4 sub-sections. Although the terminology used for these units varies from factory to factory, the general structure is the same. The one-to-three ratio usually applies at several levels of foremen, with at least two groups of first-line supervisors. The terminology used here varies widely, as are the boundaries of position, authority and responsibility. A common pattern is a work group of perhaps 10 workers led by a team leader whose job is roughly equivalent to the role of a team leader in some American-style jobs, although these positions usually carry no official responsibilities, but in some factories, have official titles and official ranks.

Aim: Purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of 3 different types of retainers (Hawley removable, Essix removable and Fixed) of the mandibular and maxillary anterior sextant and to assess patient perception of crowding. Methodology: A retrospective study of 80 patients was carried out for a time period of 1-2 years into retention. E models (digital models) were assessed pre- and post-orthodontically using Little’s Irregularity Index. The amount of Irregularity was compared for 3 retention groups (Hawley, Essix and Fixed). Relapse was also subjectively measured. Results: Increase in the Irregularity Index of the mandibular incisors was observed after wearing Hawley retainers, including crowding which was significantly more than patients with Fixed retainers. Conclusion: Hawley retainers allow for more mandibular incisor movement rather than the Fixed retainers.

Analytics of Big data research has been entering the latest processes of "fast-data", in which every second many Giga Bytes of data arriving towards a massive structure of data. Based on the number, speed, importance, variation, uncertainty and veracity of the collected data, current Big data applications gather dynamic data sources and thus create massive unstructured Big Data. Data sources that are decreased and significant are deemed more valuable than raw, repetitive, unreliable, and noisy data set. A further prospect for reducing the big data whereas the thousands of attributes in large data sets are the cause of the dimensionality which takes infinite computing resources to expose working patterns of information. Not each feature in the generated datasets is essential for the training of computer algorithms. Any characteristics do not influence the effects of the forecast and some may be negligible. The ignorance of this trivial or less important characteristics lowers the pressure on the algorithms of Machine Learning (ML). The MapReduce technology in existing has also been used to decrease dimensionality, but without decreasing irrelevant features it takes all data for a direct reduction, which contributes to lower classification precision.

The design of residential spaces between Form transformation and dynamic movement for interior kinetic furniture
Authors: Suzan Hassan abdel Hamid ElGazar
Published: May 2022

Morphological and kinetic transformations are the main sources that give the shape an impetus for the development of new design techniques. Harmony of the interior spaces with their surroundings can be achieved by adopting innovative methods based on modern technologies and new construction materials. The shift from harmony to interaction can be defined through the use of smart materials that make the building interact with the surrounding environment. This is crucial to know the relationship between movement and architectural design, which results in several auxiliary studies such as the following examples: Studying the evolution of the programmed movement concepts in interior architecture. Studying and monitoring the various types of movement in the architectural forms and their impact on the formal transformation in the internal architectural composition. Studying and monitoring the methods of achieving movement and dynamism in the formulation and composition of the internal architectural work. The problem of the study lies in the lack of knowledge of scientific foundations to achieve integration between the vocabulary of techniques, digital technology, artificial intelligence, programming, and the traditional architectural space. Accordingly, the study lays out the basics that must be available in the kinetic design ideas, and presents analytical models of design concepts and treatments, as a result of what information technology has provided capabilities that did not exist before.

Levels of some trace elements in the sera of patients (male and female) with kidney diseases were determined. The patients were twelve (12) in number, aged between 45-65 years and were having occupation traceable to heavy metal exposure. The trace elements determined were iron, manganese, copper and zinc. The investigation was conducted at the in-and-out patient unit of the University College Hospital, Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria and the results obtained were compared with the corresponding values obtained in control subjects. The results of this study revealed a significant (P<0.05) increase in serum iron and manganese levels where mean serum iron levels of [(92.9±16.5), (45.0±150.9)] mg/100 ml were obtained in patients (both sexes) compared to [(82.5±5.14), (50.8±100.3)] mg/10 0 ml obtained in control subjects respectively. Mean serum manganese levels of [(2.39±1.30), (0.05±6.90)] mg/100 ml were also obtained in patients (both sexes) compared to [(1.20±0.22), (0.70±1.90)] mg/100 ml in control subjects respectively. However, there was significant (P<0.05) decrease in serum copper and zinc levels in the patients compared to the control subjects. Mean serum copper levels of [(49.3±12.4), (20.5±92.2)] mg/100 ml were obtained from patients compared to [(82.5±47.3), (50.8±89.2)] mg/100 ml obtained in control subjects while mean serum zinc levels of [(54.3±15.9), (16.5±100.0)] mg/100 ml were obtained from patients compared to [(66.1±5.17), (40.8±84.0)] mg/10 0 ml in control subjects. The results suggest heavy metal interference with the essential trace elements in physiological system of the patients due to occupational exposure.
