Authors: El-Hadidy Wessam F. , Khalifa Asmaa A.
Published: March 2021

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2(SARAS-COV-2) was reported firstly in China by the end of  2019 then disseminated vigorously worldwide  and in 2020 reported by WHO as pandemic disease. It is associated by many symptoms, however; high incidence of thrombotic events was strongly correlated with SARAS-COV-2. Exploring anticoagulants to be added as thromboprophylaxis for Covid 19 patients become a must. Many options for thromboprophylaxis are available including anticoagulants, antiplatelets and fibrinolytics which were illustrated in this mini review.

ETNOCONHECIMENTO DE PESCADORES ARTESANAIS SOBRE A ICTIOFAUNA DO RIO JIQUIRIÇÁ, BAHIA
Authors: Silva Tiago Abreu da , Oliveira Wanderley Diaciso Dos Santos , Sampaio Francisco Alexandre Costa
Published: March 2021

Uma das práticas culturais que se mantém ativa ao longo dos anos é a pesca desenvolvida e aperfeiçoada, de forma artesanal, por observações e/ou conhecimento hereditário. Conhecer as experiências destes pescadores configura-se em uma alternativa para entender a composição da ictiofauna de uma determinada localidade. O objetivo deste estudo foi identificar o conhecimento dos pescadores sobre as espécies de peixes do rio Jiquiriçá e sua interação com o ambiente, norteado pela hipótese de que seus conhecimentos são originários de sua relação com o meio. Foram realizadas entrevistas com 14 pescadores e 9 pescadoras do município de Ubaíra, BA, utilizando-se a técnica “Snowball”. As entrevistas foram gravadas em áudio e posteriormente transcritas na íntegra. Os resultados apontaram para o etnoconhecimento dos entrevistados em relação aos aspectos da biologia dos peixes, tais como hábitos alimentares e reprodução. Percepções sobre estratégias de pesca e espécies introduzidas no rio nos últimos 20 anos, também foram registradas. Devido às condições desfavoráveis ao exercício da pesca (assoreamento, poluição, contaminação por esquistossomose), a maioria dos entrevistados abandonou esta atividade no rio Jiquiriçá. Porém, através deles foi possível perceber a necessidade de recuperação do rio para que a atividade da pesca artesanal seja sócio e ambientalmente viável, principalmente devido à contaminação.
A IMPLEMENTAÇÃO DOS DIREITOS HUMANOS A PARTIR DO ACESSO AMPLIADO À JUSTIÇA: UMA ANÁLISE À LUZ DOS MÉTODOS AUTOCOMPOSITIVOS DO MINISTÉRIO PÚBLICO
Authors: Bolwerk Aloísio Alencar , Lira Vera Nilva Álvares Rocha
Published: March 2021

O presente artigo – fundamento na ideia de acesso ampliado à Justiça – buscou analisar a realização dos direitos humanos num plano prático-operacional por meio dos métodos autocompositivos aplicados pelo Ministério Público. A priori foram feitas digressões históricas e sublinhadas as contribuições basilares de autores como Bobbio e Cappelletti para robustecer o tecido dissertativo do texto. Apresentadas as propostas, estas foram casadas com a ideia interdisciplinar de ampliação do acesso à Justiça a partir de outras metodologias e técnicas de abordagens recomendadas pelo Conselho Nacional do Ministério Público. Propostas de natureza extrajudicial e que viabilizam a efetiva implementação dos direitos humanos na realidade fática brasileira. O método integrativo fora utilizado em razão da sua capacidade de conjugar dados que podem ser direcionados à definição de conceitos, identificação de lacunas e revisão de teorias, objetivando demonstrar a potencial eficácia do uso dos meios autocompositivos.

O levantar dos véus da colonialidade em nosso imaginário durante as aulas de arte
Authors: Rodrigues João Alberto
Published: March 2021

O presente relato origina-se de um recorte de um projeto desenvolvido nas aulas de arte com turmas do segundo ano do Ensino Médio da rede estadual do Rio Grande do Sul em Porto Alegre. Teve por objetivo abordar e propor reflexões sobre o nosso imaginário social colonizado, de viés racista, sexista e elitizado, gerador de silenciamentos e invisibilidades. Ao longo do projeto foram elaborados trabalhos poético-visuais por estudantes abordando África, racismo e outras formas de violência contra a população negra, colonização e representações positivas. Dentre as referências teóricas para o projeto estão Achille Mbembe, para pensar o racismo no imaginário, Lélia Gonzales e Beatriz Nascimento, para articular racismo e sexismo, Alberto Guerreiro Ramos e Frantz Fanon, que ajudam a refletir sobre o complexo de inferioridade em pessoas negras e os trabalhos de Rosana Paulino e Grada Kilomba sobre silenciamentos e mecanismos de opressão. Como resultado, apresento alguns dos trabalhos poéticos desenvolvidos no projeto, os quais não são discutidos em seus aspectos plástico-visuais, mas estabeleço de forma pontual, breves correlações entre algum assunto tratado em aula e algo que apareceu em algum trabalho.

Screening for patients with Gaucher’s disease using routine pathology results: PATHFINDER (ferritin, alkaline phosphatase, platelets) study
Authors: Reynolds Tim , Wierzbicki Anthony , Skrahina Volha , Beetz Christian
Published: March 2021

Aims: Lysosomal β-glucocerebrosidase (GBA) deficiency causes Gaucher
disease (GD), a recessive disorder caused by bi-allelic mutations in
GBA. The prevalence of GD is associated with ethnicity, but largely
unknown and potentially underestimated in many countries. GD may
manifest with organomegaly, bone involvement and neurological symptoms
as well as abnormal laboratory biomarkers. This study attempted to
screen for GD in patients using abnormal platelet, alkaline phosphatase
(ALP) and ferritin results from laboratory databases. Methods:
Electronic laboratory databases were interrogated using a 2-4 year time
interval to identify from clinical biochemistry records patients with a
phenotype of reduced platelets (<150x109/L) and either
elevated ALP (>130iu/L) or ferritin (>150
(female) or >250µg/L(male)). The mean value over the
screening window was used to reduce variability in results. A dried
blood spot sample was collected for the determination of GBA activity in
patients meeting these criteria. If low GBA activity was found then the
concentration of the GD-specific biomarker glucosyl-sphingosine
(lyso-GB1) was assayed, and the GBA gene sequenced. Results: Samples
were obtained from 1058 patients; 232 patients had low GBA activity
triggering further analysis. No new cases of GD with homozygosity for
pathogenic variants were identified but 12 patients (1%) were
identified to be carriers of a pathogenic variant in GBA. Conclusions:
Pathology databases hold routine information that can be used to screen
for patients with inherited errors of metabolism. However, biochemical
screening using mean platelets, ALP and ferritin has a low yield for
unidentified cases of Gaucher Disease.

Is there a relationship between renal scarring and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio in patients with vesicoureteral reflux?
Authors: Demir Mehmet , yağmur ismail , Kati Bulent , Pelit Eyyup Sabri , Ördek Eser , Ciftci Halil
Published: March 2021

Aim: Vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) exacerbates the risk of renal scarring
by establishing a ground for pyelonephritis. It is known that the
inflammatory process is more influential than the direct damage caused
by bacterial infection in the development of renal scars after
pyelonephritis. Therefore, the present study aims to investigate the
relationship between renal scarring and systemic inflammatory markers in
patients with VUR. Methods: Hundred and ninety-two patients (116 girls,
76 boys) diagnosed with VUR were divided into two groups based on the
presence or absence of renal scarring and into three groups according to
the grade of VUR (low, moderate and high). Neutrophil count, lymphocyte
count, mean platelet volume (MPV) and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio
(NLR) were compared among the groups. Results: Of the 192 patients, 102
had renal scarring. The age and gender distribution did not differ
significantly between the groups with and without renal scarring (p
> 0.05). However, the grade of reflux and lymphocyte count
were significantly higher in the group with renal scarring (p
< 0.05), and the NLR was significantly lower in the group with
renal scarring (p < 0.05). The lymphocyte count was
significantly higher (p <0.05) and NLR was significantly lower
in the high-grade VUR group (p < 0.05). However, MPV values
did not differ significantly (p > 0.05) between the groups.
Conclusion: NLR can be used to predict renal scarring in patients with
VUR and may even serve as a candidate marker for treatment selection.
However, larger series and prospective studies are needed. Keywords:
vesicoureteral reflux, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, pyelonephritis,

The impact of nonlinear perturbation to the dynamics of HIV model
Authors: Shi Zhenfeng , Jiang Daqing , Shi Ningzhong , Hayat Tasawar , Alsaedi Ahmed
Published: March 2021

In this paper, we developed and studied a stochastic HIV model with
nonlinear perturbation. Through a rigorous analysis, we firstly showed
that the solution of the stochastic model is positive and global. Then,
by employing suitable stochastic Lyapunov functions, we prove that the
stochastic model admit a unique ergodic stationary distribution. In
addition, sufficient conditions for the extinction of HIV infection are
derived. Finally, numerical simulations are employed to confirm our
theoretical results.

Silviano Santiago e o discurso transgressor latino-americano: balbucios a partir da Fronteira-Sul
Authors: ANGELO FERRAZ DÊNIS , Nolasco Edgar
Published: March 2021

Com esta reflexão que se erige como balbucio teórico (ACHUGAR, 2006), objetiva-se evidenciar uma leitura crítico-biográfica fronteiriça, a partir do discurso transgressor que é evocado pelo escritor mineiro, Silviano Santiago, sobretudo em sua conceituação do entre-lugar do discurso latino-americano, que aponta para uma abertura ao debate pós-colonial podendo se relacionar com a desobediência epistêmica de Walter Mignolo, esse discurso se erige a partir da cultura marginal e dos corpos que acabam por se tornarem inconvenientes (SANTIAGO, 2019) frente às normas instituídas socialmente. A partir de tais indícios é possível vislumbrar toda relevância de se erigir tal reflexão, engendrando nesse debate conceitual um pensamento outro, numa abordagem que se pauta a partir de estudos descoloniais, que leve em conta o bios e o lócus de onde se emerge esses discursos, incorporando assim o pensamento que emerge na e a partir da fronteira e meu próprio bios, minha condição de pesquisador e homem negro. Depreendendo-se à uma reflexão que se paute na desobediência epistêmica (MIGNOLO), por meio de uma discussão à luz das conceituações de Edgar Cézar Nolasco, Boaventura Santos e de Walter Mignolo. Com esse intento evidencia-se a importância de erigir leituras com base no pensamento fronteiriço, pois é nítido que a partir das inconveniências de corpos transgressores emergem vozes dissonantes como resistências políticas (SANTIAGO, 2019) em busca de (re)existirem, de modo que reforçam a urgência de se aprender a desaprender para assim reaprender de um modo outro.

Published: March 2021

Este trabalho tem como objetivo uma reflexão acerca de saberes dos sujeitos pertencentes a um lócus específico, a América Latina, mais especificamente a Bolívia. As narrativas contadas a partir da/na fronteira buscam resgatar o que foi reprimido pelo discurso do colonizador. Se fomos lançados às margens, cuja história local é singular, resgatar esses saberes, ou seja, as epistemologias fronteiriças, tornam-se um ato de desobediência epistêmica necessário para desvincular-nos dos padrões impostos pelo poder hegemônico. Costura-se dentre as linhas deste trabalho experiências/memórias/resistências locais como por exemplo o testemunho/vida de Domitila Barrios de Chungara uma mulher boliviana, mineira e líder feminina. Para fomentar essa discussão proposta valemo-nos de estudos de teóricos como Walter Mignolo (2014), Edward W. Said (2003, 2005), Zulma Palermo (2008, 2010,2015), entre outros.

Studying the rate of polyphenol oxidase activity in apples using a colorimeter
Authors: Chandrasekhar Shreya
Published: March 2021

Salt is one of the oldest methods used to preserve food and help it stay fresh by preventing rotting due to its antibacterial properties. This study was therefore conducted to understand how the increase in salt concentration affects the rate of change of polyphenol oxidase activity in apples using a colorimeter. A colorimeter is a device used to measure absorbance of particular wavelengths of light by specific solutions, in this case, Granny Smith Apple juice. The results correlated with the hypothesis which is predicted that as the salt concentration of the dilutions increase, there will be a decrease in the rate of change of absorbance because the chlorine ions from the salt will inhibit the polyphenol oxidase activity and prevent further oxidation of phenols to quinones, limiting the polymerization and formation of melanin. The results confirm that salt is a non-competitive inhibitor of polyphenol oxidase because it slows down the catabolic processes in apples- mainly the breakdown of glucose. However, salt is a non-competitive inhibitor of PPO but as for lower concentrations, such as 0.25M and 0.50M, the higher concentration of substrates still mitigates the effect of salt as an inhibitor to a significant extent.
Overview of Service Interface Design Approaches for Interoperability of Traditional System Integration Patterns
Authors: Yahya Norziana , Md Taib Mohd Azahani
Published: March 2021

One of the major issues in system integration is to deal with interoperability of legacy systems which use traditional System Integration Patterns (SIP). Information are unable to exchange effectively when the systems involved comes from developer that tended to not interoperate and this leads to the interoperability problem in heterogeneous system integration. To address the interoperability issues, interfacing processes need to be made more easily by defining components, processes, and interfaces that affect the system integration architecture at the initial design stage. This paper includes a basic concept on types of traditional SIP covering File-Based, Common Database, Remote Procedure Call (RPC), Distributed Objects, and Messaging. An overview of three Service Interface Design (SID) approaches for systems interoperability is discussed. The discussions on these approaches serve as a basis for the solution of interoperability of heterogeneous systems which use traditional SIP.
Fuzzy Time Series for Projecting School Enrolment in Malaysia
Authors: Shafii Nor Hayati , Alias Rohana , Shamsuddin Siti Rohani , Mohd Nasir Diana Sirmayunie
Published: March 2021

There are a variety of approaches to the problem of predicting educational enrolment.  However, none of them can be used when the historical data are linguistic values.  Fuzzy time series is an efficient and effective tool to deal with such problems. In this paper, the forecast of the enrolment of pre-primary, primary, secondary, and tertiary schools in Malaysia is carried out using fuzzy time series approaches. A fuzzy time series model is developed using historical dataset collected from the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) from the year 1981 to 2018.  A complete procedure is proposed which includes: fuzzifying the historical dataset, developing a fuzzy time series model, and calculating and interpreting the outputs. The accuracy of the model are also examined to evaluate how good the developed forecasting model is. It is tested based on the value of the mean squared error (MSE), Mean Absolute Percent Error (MAPE) and Mean Absolute Deviation (MAD).  The lower the value of error measure, the higher the accuracy of the model.  The result shows that fuzzy time series model developed for primary school enrollments is the most accurate with the lowest error measure, with the MSE value being 0.38, MAPE 0.43 and MAD 0.43 respectively.

Authors: Sermed Zuhdiy Zahraa , Laftah Abbas Ali
Published: March 2021

The aim of this research is to study the effect of using corrugated steel plate strengthening on the structural behaviour of reinforced concrete box girder by using corrugated steel plates with vertical and horizontal corrugation and studying the effect of the shape of cells by using rectangular and circular shape with the same web width and strengthening the circular cell with smooth plate. Five simply supported reinforced concrete box girders are casted by using Self-compacting concrete and experimentally tested under four-point load. The box girder specimens are divided into two groups according to the steel strengthening and the shape of cells. The experimental results showed that in the first group, the using of the vertical and horizontal corrugated steel plates strengthening increased the ultimate load by (7.14% and 11.03%) respectively compared with the control box girder, and decreased the crack width, the results also showed that in the second group, the using of circular cell and circular strengthened cell increased the ultimate load by (17.85% and 29.22%) respectively compared with the control box girder with rectangular cell and decreased the crack width. All the box girders in the first and second group failed with diagonal shear.

Authors: Chan Jacky Kit , Mostafa Shaimaa , Kumar Narendra
Published: March 2021

His-bundle pacing (HBP) appears to be a viable stand-alone or adjunctive physiological pacing therapy in pacemaker dependent patients. It could also serve as an effective adjunct or alternative pacing therapy for heart failure patients who require cardiac resynchronization therapy or pacemaker upgrade. His-bundle pacing has demonstrated improvement of His-Purkinje conduction, left ventricular electrical / mechanical synchronization, and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) compared with right ventricle pacing. Patients who have high pacing dependence and/or LVEF impairment would benefit most from HBP in terms of heart failure hospitalization and LVEF improvement. Mortality benefit has not been consistently demonstrated in latest meta-analysis. The long-term clinical benefit and safety profile of HBP remains to be explored in future studies. 

Key words: His bundle pacing, physiologic pacing, upgrade pacing

Authors: Yunita Roza , Nurhidayah Siti
Published: March 2021

Increasing the genetic diversity of plants can be done through physical mutations with gamma-ray irradiation. This study aims to determine gamma-ray irradiation on the growth of six M1 generation black rice accessions. This research was conducted in May-October 2019 at the Experimental Rice Fields of the Tasikmalaya Perjuangan University, West Java. The materials used in this study were six accessions from Tasikmalaya (PH, PH2, PH3, PH5, PH7, and PH8) without 0 Gy irradiation and with 200 Gy gamma-ray irradiation of M1 generation. The results showed that gamma-ray irradiation reduced germination characteristics, seedling height, and flowering age. Some of the accessions showed different effects; there were a decrease and an increase in the characters of root length, plant height, number of productive tillers, number of unproductive tillers, and the total number of tillers.
Afinidades violentas: la evolución de la red de narcotraficantes del norte del Valle

Published: March 2021

Este artículo reconstruye y explica el ascenso y decadencia de la red de narcotraficantes del norte del Valle durante el período 1994-2011. Argumenta que la convergencia de las fuerzas centrífugas, propias del carácter volátil de las agrupaciones de narcotraficantes, la afinidad violenta que unía a sus jefes, la guerra contra las drogas, y los choques informativos generados por la nueva estrategia de negociación con la justicia estadounidense condujeron a su destrucción por mano propia y a la fragmentación de su estructura. Este artículo sugiere que el carácter óptimo de las estrategias de remoción del jugador clave funcionan para una red específica, pero no es efectiva en lo absoluto para las redes mutantes que surgen de los restos de las destruidas.
Formation of stages of the mechanism of corruption crimes: obstruction of investigation
Authors: Verenich Igor Vasilievich
Published: March 2021

The subject of this research is consideration of the questions of formation of the mechanism of corruption crimes and obstruction of investigation thereof. The author examines the elements of the stage-by-stage formation of corruption crimes: initial stage, main stage, and final stage (result of committing an offense).  The subject of crime is defined as a special subject with administrative or other powers in accordance with the law. The author reviews various methods of corruption crimes and the attributes of misfeasance; as well as determines the key distinguishing feature of corruption crimes – use of powers or position by an official, etc. The main conclusion consists in the statement that the problems of obstruction of investigation are common to investigation of corruption crimes, which is explained by the fact that the detection of this type of offenses ant subsequent investigation pertains to special subjects. This poses a separate, independent task of overcoming obstruction of investigation and application of different methods of overcoming. Analysis of the practice demonstrates that penal sanctions for such crimes are imposed at the lowest possible sanction of the criminal article, and in some cases –  a suspended sentence; there is evidence of not only investigative and judicial errors, but also instances of investigative and judicial arbitrariness. This results in non-application of penalties to the offender, and the worst part – prosecuting the innocent. The examined materials on corruption crimes confirm the fact of obstruction of investigation in virtually every case, which presses the need for the development of forensic doctrine on overcoming obstruction of investigation.

Published: March 2021

Rendering legal assistance to the population is one of the crucial vectors in the activity of legislative and executive branches, as well as local self-governance in different countries. The subject of this research is the formulation of recommendations aimed at elimination of gaps in the current legislation in the area of rendering free legal assistance to the population of the Russian Federation. The article presents an analytical overview of the peculiarities of rendering free legal assistance to the citizens in Russia and abroad. Emphasis is placed on analysis of the current legislation that regulates the indicated area of legal relations, effectiveness of its application, and further improvement. The novelty of the acquired results consists in the use of comprehensive approach towards examination of theoretical and empirical materials, as well as in proposing ways to improve the mechanism of rendering free legal assistance to the Russian population. As there is currently a complex mechanism for the lawyers to provide reports in order to be paid for their assistance, it is offered to develop requirements on the federal level to receive compensation for their work. It is also essential to establish on the federal level the minimum compensation for each type of legal aid. For increasing information awareness of the citizens on the possibilities of receiving free legal aid, it is necessary to give closer attention to legal education (availability of mass media and Internet resources, creation of thematic sections and banners, publication of information of websites and at the premises of multifunctional centers, etc.). The made proposals and recommendations can be used as the theoretical framework for solution of practical problems associated with rendering free legal assistance to the population.

The goal of this research consists in determination and analysis of the current trends of juvenile crime in Russia. The subject of this article is the basic patterns of juvenile crime identified by keeping track of its dynamics, modification and activity in Russia from 1991 to 2019, and classified by the authors into separate periods – “waves” in accordance with the “bursts” of such type of crime. It is underlined that the timely identification of factors and conditions that lead to the spate of criminal activity among juveniles in a specific time period allows preventing similar situations in future, as well as contributes to the development of an effective toolset for preventing deviant behavior of teenagers. The empirical basis of this research is comprised of the statistical reports on the state of juvenile crime in Russia that are posted annually on the official websites of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia and the Prosecutor General's Office of the Russian Federation. The authors also lean on the fundamental Russian and foreign research dedicated to the problematic questions of preventing juvenile crime. In the course of studying statistical data that reflect qualitative and quantitative indicators of juvenile crime in Russia from 1991 to 2019, the authors determined five so-called “waves” of juvenile crime: I wave 1991-1997, II wave 1998-2002, III wave 2003-2012, IV wave 2012-2014, and V wave 2014-2019. Examination of media source, publicistic and scientific literature allowed revealing the most probable causes of the sharp increase in criminogenic situation in the juvenile environment. The article also reveals certain negative trends, such as the increase in the rate of grave and especially grave crimes committed by minors.
