Low Grade Appendiceal Mucinous Neoplasms- A Short Case Series with Review of Literature
Authors: Salapathi S , Rajeshwari B , Niamath Sadiya , Ghosh Mitra
Published: July 2021

Low-grade appendiceal mucinous neoplasm (LAMN) is a rare malignancy and is found in less than 0.3% of appendectomy specimens. Patients with LAMN can present with abdominal pain and mimic clinically as appendicitis, intussusception or obstruction, hence high clinical suspicion is needed for correct diagnosis and management. The exact nature and nomenclature of these tumors when they disseminate into the peritoneum is controversial. The prognosis of LAMN is highly dependent on the presence or absence of neoplastic epithelium outside the appendix. Tumors with extra appendiceal acellular mucin in the right lower quadrant only rarely recur but tumors with extra appendiceal mucin and neoplastic epithelium recur more often. LAMNs with diffuse peritoneal seeding of neoplastic epithelium and mucin have a progressive clinical course that frequently results in death of the patient.  Hence whenever a case of mucinous neoplasm of the appendix is encountered, it is essential that the entire appendix be submitted for histopathologic examination and should be thoroughly evaluated for presence of extra appendiceal mucin and neoplastic epithelium, and also for the type of invasion in order to obtain the correct diagnosis and to predict the risk of recurrence. We present here three cases of low grade appendiceal tumors with their varied clinical presentation and histopathological findings, for their rarity and clinical importance.
Pyogenic Granuloma like Kaposi Sarcoma: A Diagnosis Easily Missed
Authors: George Smiley Annie , Francis Issam Michel
Published: July 2021

Pyogenic granuloma-like Kaposi sarcoma (PG-like KS) is a clinicopathologic variant of Kaposi sarcoma (KS), a vascular tumor caused by human herpesvirus-8 (HHV-8). PG-like KS is a challenging entity to diagnose because its clinical and histological features encompass features of both pyogenic granuloma (PG) and KS Distinction between the two entities is clinically important as the management is different. KS patients requires evaluation of their immunodeficiency status and follow-up. Throwing a HHV-8 LNA-1 immunohistochemistry helps in clinching the diagnosis. Recognition of the precise histological features and clinical correlation can facilitate the correct diagnosis.
Do State Ownership and Business Environment Explain Corporate Cash Holdings? Empirical Evidence from an Emerging Country
Authors: Nguyen Tran Thai Ha , Wong Wing-Keung
Published: July 2021

This study evaluates the relationship between state ownership and corporate cash holdings by taking into account the role of the business environment in the context of an emerging economy. Both linear and non-linear models are employed for listed enterprises’ financial data during the period from 2011 to 2019 in Vietnam. The empirical results show that state ownership reduces the corporate cash holdings in the linear model, and there is a U-shaped relation between corporate cash holdings and state ownership in a non-linear manner. By using the extended models, this study obtains consistent evidence to show that corporates reduce their cash holdings when the business environment becomes better and vice versa. Specifically, we find that the speed of cash adjustment in Vietnam is smaller than that in the developed countries, implying that corporates can shelter their liquid assets in order to avoid the negative effects stemming from agency problems between managers and state-shareholders. However, they are willing to hold more cash because of the mitigated agency problems in the case of the dominant state ownership. Ultimately, the business environment’s quality will have more power in determining the behaviour of corporates’ cash holding to meet market risks than state ownership. This study contributes to financial literature by determining the business environment’s critical role in the relationship between state ownership and corporate cash holdings.
Family Ownership and Accrual-Based Earnings Management: Evidence from Tunisia
Authors: Gamra Atika Ben , Ellouze Dorra
Published: July 2021

The aim of this paper is to investigate the effect of family shareholding and chief executive officer (CEO) characteristics on earnings management. We use panel data for a sample of 37 Tunisian non-financial listed firms over the period 2007–2017. We contribute to the literature on corporate governance in family firms by testing the effect of the presence of a family or a founder CEO on earnings management in Tunisia. Our results show that the family ownership and the presence of a family CEO (either founder or not) are positively and significantly associated with earnings management practices. These findings suggest that families’ dominance with a significant equity stake and a CEO position under control leads to an entrenchment effect resulting in poor earnings reporting quality.
Corporate Pension Systems and Pension Funding Status in ASEAN Countries
Authors: Kasaoka Eriko
Published: July 2021

National pension systems will vary among countries because of several factors. The role of the corporate pension in sustaining and supporting a country’s retirees is also different among nations. There are two main pension plans defined in International Accounting Standard No. 19: Employee Benefits, namely, defined benefit plans and defined contribution plans. The defined benefit plan requires a company to recognise its pension funding status on the balance sheet. In contrast, in a defined contribution plan, only the contribution amount to the plan is recognised as an expense on the firm’s income statement. The aim of this paper is to investigate in ASEAN countries the relationship between the presence of corporate pension plans and specific financial factors in companies. The result of the empirical research shows companies with higher profitability and efficiency tend to provide corporate pension plans to their employees.

Objective. To evaluate the features of the course of the early neonatal period of newborns born from young women under conditions of epidural analgesia.Material and methods. The authors conducted a prospective, comparative, randomized, longitudinal, monocenter study. Patients of Group 1 (n=25) were anesthetized with a narcotic analgesic (2% Тrimeperedine 1,0 ml intramuscularly). Patients of Group 2 (n=30) received long-term epidural analgesia (EA) with 0,2% Ropivacaine (10,0 ml/hour). All patients delivered full-term infants. The course of labor, clinical and laboratory characteristics of newborns in the early neonatal period were evaluated.Results. There were no significant differences in the duration of labor, volume of blood loss, and other characteristics between the groups. There were no clinical differences between the groups of newborns. We did not find a negative effect of epidural analgesia on the Apgar score at the 1st (p=0,166) and 5th (p=0,217) minutes of life and the neuropsychiatric status of the newborn (p=0,322). At the same time, in the group of long-term epidural analgesia, there was a tendency to a higher incidence of moderate and mild asphyxia (19,2% versus 9,5%; p=0,436). When comparing the acid-base state of umbilical cord arterial blood, significant differences were found in the following indicators: lower pH (p=0,042) and pO2 level (p=0,007) and higher pCO2 level (p=0,031) in arterial cord blood.Conclusion. Epidural analgesia during labor in young women is accompanied by a lower level of pH and pO2 and a higher level of pCO2 in the arterial cord blood as compared to a Group of Тrimeperedine, which indicates a more pronounced shift in the acid-base state of the fetal blood. When analyzing neurological outcomes in newborns, there were no statistically significant differences. However, further follow-up is required for children born from young mothers who have received long-term epidural analgesia in labor.

Objective.To assess the condition of newborns from women of the late reproductive period (LRP), depending on the parity of births.Material and methods.The authors examined 130 pregnant women and their 130 newborns. Group I consisted of 60 primiparouswomen of late reproductive period and their 60 newborns, Group II included 40 multiparous women of the late reproductive periodand their 40 newborns, Group III (control group) consisted of 30 healthy pregnant women aged from 18 to 25 years and their 30newborns. The authors performed a retrospective analysis of the gestation course and perinatal outcomes. Ultrasound and neurosonography were used among the instrumental research methods.Results.Women of the late reproductive period gave birth to children in a state of asphyxia twice more often, who develop neurologicaldisorders 1,5 times more often and complex postnatal adaptation and disorders of the perinatal period are twice more likely. Amongwomen of the late reproductive period, primiparous women gave birth to children with the most severe disorders.Conclusion.The high incidence of neurological diseases in children born from women of the late reproductive period is associatedwith age-related changes in their germ cells, the implementation of assisted reproductive technologies, and the intake of hormonaldrugs in early pregnancy. The data obtained should be taken into account by obstetricians in the course of pregnancy in women of latereproductive age; they should be included in the group of high risk of developing neurological disorders in children.

Objective. To determine the clinical and metabolic changes in children born from mothers with gestational diabetes mellitus and to predict perinatal injury of the central nervous system (CNS), taking into account the level of maternal hyperglycemia.Material and methods. The period of early postnatal adaptation was analyzed in 258 full-term infants, who were divided into two groups, depending on the glucose level in the mother’s venous blood during pregnancy: Group 1: 5,1–5,6 mmol/L, Group 2: 5,7–7,0 mmol/L.Results. Based on clinical, functional and laboratory markers (electrolyte balance and carbohydrate metabolism in the blood of a newborn) there was established a correlation between the severity of maternal hyperglycemia and the severity of neonatal disorders. In Group II infants born from mothers with more severe hyperglycemia are more likely to have a respiratory distress syndrome and ischemic-hypoxic injury of the central nervous system in combination with excess birth weight which significantly complicates postnatal adaptation.Conclusion. The concentration of neuron-specific enolase of 4,9 ng/ml in the fetal amniotic fluid is an antenatal marker of perinatal damage to the central nervous system in a newborn.

Authors: Yusti Malinda , Triyadi Triyadi , Ramadhan Dona
Published: July 2021

Fraud risk management strategies can be carried out in three stages: prevention, detection, and response, but the most efficient stage is prevention. Fraud is part of operational risk which is defined as the risk of loss caused by the failure or inadequacy of internal processes, people, systems or technology, and external events. The perpetrators of fraud can also be analyzed using the fraud motivation model. This study aims to use the results of detection and response as input for the prevention stage using root cause analysis. This study uses the Risk Causal and Fraud Diamond (RCFD) Matrix as an analytical tool to determine the dominant root cause. This study uses 300 data samples and categorizes the root causes of fraud in the RCFD Matrix. The results show that there are three dominant root causes: 3.O System & Technology - Opportunity, 2.O Internal Process - Opportunity, and 1.P People - Pressure. These results provide recommendations for fraud prevention strategies to effectively reduce or eliminate the dominant root cause.
Impacts of Land-use Transformation on Agriculture land in Afghanistan, Kabul city as case study
Authors: Amin Hamidullah , Helmi Mansour Rifaat
Published: July 2021

The change in land-use over a certain period of time is inevitable. This paper investigates the issue of land use change on agricultural land that has become a phenomenon affecting the economy and environment in Kabul, the capital city of Afghanistan. Agriculture is the main economic source of Afghan cities, however, due to rapid population growth, population densification, and inability to apply Kabul city’s master plan and regulations, a large portion of land cover transformed from agricultural areas to unplanned developments and have shifted the function of communities from productive societies into consumer and dependent societies. The study sheds light on Yakatoot as a study farmland area in Kabul city to present an alive example of what is happening in the reality of agricultural land in Kabul. Therefore, approaches for sustainable conversion of agricultural land in Kabul city is a vital quest that needs to be followed seriously. The study illustrates Afghanistan's land laws. It identifies the social, economic, and environmental impacts of land-use change. This paper applies qualitative methods, where data and analysis worked by using field surveys, aerial photographs from Google Earth, and data collected from CRIDA. It also investigates international experience regarding land-use change and sustainable solutions. Therefore, due to positive implications of urban agriculture practice as a feasible and sustainable approach to tackle the ongoing challenges related to land-use change in Kabul city, this paper suggests inducing this approach in Kabul city’s master plan and other urban initiatives because it will not only lead to environmental protection, but also, it will re-establish economic stability, enhance social welfare, revive city’s historic identity.
Management of Marine Plastic Waste Generated from Land-based Sources in Viet Nam: Problems, Constraints, and Solutions
Authors: Thi Gam Pham , Trung Thang Nguyen , Herat Sunil , Thanh Tung Nguyen
Published: July 2021

Viet Nam is ranked No 5 in global plastic waste contribution to the marine environment. The long coastline in Viet Nam provides a livelihood for millions of households as well as food security for the whole country. The use of plastics per capita increased nearly elevenfold, from 3.8 kg/person in 1990 to 41 kg/person in 2015. The two highly populated cities (Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City) alone generate 80 tonnes of plastic waste every day. Landfilling is the primary treatment method of solid waste while recycling is still limited. Tax for plastic bags exists, but implementation is not efficient. Application of Extended Producer Responsibility still faces many constraints. Regular monitoring and data collection related to the status of marine plastic waste pollution are inadequate. Moving forward Viet Nam needs to focus on a number of issues including strengthening the legislation, raising awareness, promoting research on innovative recycling technologies, and promoting international cooperation. This paper investigates current issues, challenges, and constraints in managing plastic waste in Viet Nam and makes recommendations for improvement. The paper utilises an unsystematic narrative overview as the research method.
A feature extraction method based on the entropy-minimal description length principle and GBDT for common surface water pollution identification
Authors: Huang Pingjie , Wang Lixiang , Hou Dibo , Lin Wangli , Yu Jie , Zhang Guangxin , Zhang Hongjian
Published: July 2021

To effectively prevent river water pollution, water quality monitoring is necessary. However, existing methods for water quality assessment are limited in terms of the characterization of water quality conditions, and few researchers have been able to focus on feature extraction methods relative to water pollution identification, or to obtain accurate water pollution source information. Thus, this study proposed a feature extraction method based on the entropy-minimal description length principle and gradient boosting decision tree (GBDT) algorithm for identifying the type of surface water pollution in consideration of the distribution characteristics and intrinsic association of conventional water quality indicators. To improve the robustness to noise, we constructed the coarse-grained discretization features of each water quality index based on information entropy. The nonlinear correlation between water quality indexes and pollution classes was excavated by the GBDT algorithm, which was utilized to acquire tree transformed features. Water samples collected by a southern city Environmental Monitoring Center were used to test the performance of the proposed algorithm. Experimental results demonstrate that features extracted by the proposed method are more effective than the water quality indicators without feature engineering and features extracted by the principal component analysis algorithm.
Perceptions of water quality, and current and future water consumption of residents in the central business district of Yangon city Myanmar
Authors: Ko Shane Htet , Sakai Hiroshi
Published: July 2021

Public water supply services in Yangon started in 1842, however the practice of drinking tap water has been uncommon until this moment. Currently, Yangon city development committee is upgrading the tap water system in accordance with the greater Yangon water supply improvement project. It is important to know the perceptual driving factors affecting the decision to drink in order to effectively improve the public acceptance of tap water. In this study, household water management practices and their influencing factors for Yangon city residents are revealed through questionnaires. Residence time in Yangon city is significantly associated with water consumption behaviour. Decisions for drinking come from organoleptic perception rather than important safety considerations. The future consumption of tap water is influenced by income and perception of overall quality. Preferred billing method is associated with education, family size, income and willingness to spend more for better quality water.
Estimating effluent turbidity in the drinking water flocculation process with an improved random forest model
Authors: Wang Dongsheng , Chang Xiao , Ma Kaiwei , Li Zhixuan , Deng Lianqing
Published: July 2021

During drinking water treatment, the uncertain changes of raw water quality bring great difficulties to the control of flocculant dosage, especially because the feedback information based on the effluent turbidimeter of the sedimentation tank can only be obtained after a long time when the influent water quality changes due to the large lag characteristics of the flocculation process. Prediction of effluent turbidity of the sedimentation tank can effectively solve the aforementioned problem. Given that it is difficult for the ordinary random forest (RF) model to accurately predict the effluent turbidity of a sedimentation tank for complicated changes of raw water quality, an improved random forest (IRF) model composed of long-term and short-term parts is proposed, which can capture the periodicity and time-varying characteristics of influent water quality data. The experimental results show that the root mean square error and mean absolute percentage error of IRF model in Baiyangwan waterworks are improved 67.52% and 67.91% respectively, compared with those of the ordinary RF model. The proposed effluent turbidity predictions are also successfully developed in Xujiang waterworks and Xiangcheng waterworks of Suzhou, China. This research provides an effective method for real-time prediction of the effluent turbidity of sedimentation tank according to the influent water quality data.

Authors: Mohan Nivedi S. , M. K. Vishnu Sagar , Joseph Sabu
Published: July 2021

Nutrient pollution of rivers is one of the prime threats facing the aquatic systems. In the present study, water samples (n = 20) were collected from the Karamana river (KR) during the pre-monsoon (PMN) and monsoon (MN) seasons of 2019 to analyze the seasonal variations. The water samples were analyzed for various physico-chemical parameters and to understand the nutrient status of the river. Furthermore, gross primary productivity (GPP), net primary productivity (NPP) and phytoplankton analysis were carried out to assess relationship among productivity variables and phytoplanktons. The study revealed that water quality is better during MN than PMN due to dilution. Among the two seasons, PMN showed relatively higher values for most of parameters like pH, EC, TDS, TA, Cl, NH4-N, NO3-N, NO2-N, Chl-a, GPP and NPP. The correlation among GPP, NPP, nutrients and other water quality parameters were done using SPSS. Phytoplankton of 23 genera belonging to three classes, namely Chlorophyceae (40%), Bacillariophyceae (40%) and Cyanophyceae (20%) have been identified in KR. The various phytoplankton diversity indices and statistical analyses were estimated and their relevance discussed in this paper. The nutrient enrichment in the downstream regions was affected the phytoplanktonic structure and diversity of the river.

A pós graduação em educação no brasil e o plano nacional de pós-graduação - pnpg - 2005-2010: leituras sobre o modelo de desenvolvimento, avaliação, sustentabilidade e impacto local.
Authors: Aguilar Luis Enrique
Published: July 2021

Este “paper” foi construído com o objetivo de somar uma perspectiva às discussões que são realizadas no Brasil com motivo da consulta que o Ministério de Educação e Ciência (MEC) vem fazendo às instituições e associações científicas brasileiras sobre o V - Plano Nacional de Pós-Graduação(V-PNPG). Nosso desafio no contexto do Projeto ALFA é trazer leituras do modelo de desenvolvimento, sustentabilidade e impacto local do ensino superior no país estabelecendo interfaces com o papel que, nesta conjuntura, lhe cabe à sub-área de educação.
O lugar da afetividade no ambiente de aprendizagem: desafio da prática docente
Authors: Rodrigues Silvia Adriana , Garms Gilza Maria Zauhy
Published: July 2021

Entre outras dificuldades, o professor passa a maior parte de seu tempo tentando criar condições para efetivar seu fazer pedagógico. A vida escolar cotidiana constitui uma realidade de cooperação e conflitos entre seus sujeitos, que pode ser menos ou mais cooperativa dependendo da forma de interagir desses sujeitos. Assim, acreditamos que uma das vias de entendimento da dinâmica escolar é esquadrinhar a qualidade das relações interpessoais entre seus atores. Nesta perspectiva, o presente trabalho verificou a representação que 50 alunos do ensino fundamental, de uma escola estadual do município de Presidente Prudente, faziam da instituição e de seus professores do ponto de vista afetivo. Nas respostas para as provocações “o que mais gosto e o que menos gosto nos meus professores” há indicativos de que a dimensão afetiva é ignorada no âmbito escolar
A mercantilização do ensino fundamental: experiências do quase-mercado educacional.
Authors: Souza Silvia Cristina de , Simões Maria Sylvia Bueno
Published: July 2021

O presente trabalho trata de uma pesquisa em andamento junto ao Programa de Pós-graduação em Educação da Universidade Estadual Paulista – UNESP/Marília, cujo objetivo é analisar os processos de mercantilização do ensino fundamental cuja oferta, em função das recentes reformas ocorridas no setor educacional brasileiro, passou a ser responsabilidade dos municípios. A intenção do estudo é buscar entender as relações entre o público e privado na educação e como estas encontram convergência e similaridade com a nova configuração do Estado. Propõe-se, nesse sentido, o desenvolvimento de um estudo sobre um grupo de municípios que adotaram em seus sistemas de ensino “pacotes curriculares” elaborados por empresas privadas, buscando, nessa tarefa, apreender os aspectos que envolveram (e envolvem) tal processo e a análise da lógica de quase-mercado educacional que o permeia.
Política educacional: identidade latinoamericana e descentralização
Authors: Leite Roseana Costa
Published: July 2021

Esta comunicação tem por objetivo apresentar para discussão um projeto de pesquisa, que pretendo desenvolver como parte das atividades de pós-doutorado, na expectativa de encontrar interlocutores.

Neste momento, minha atenção volta-se às perguntas assinaladas pelos movimentos sociais, à necessidade de praticar uma abertura nos limites da ciência eurocêntrica e da construção de uma cosmovisão alternativa ao ideário neoliberal. A pergunta central refere-se à democratização da política educacional e, nesta discussão, a participação da sociedade civil e as formas de participação direta. Para tanto pretendo examinar a sociologia latinoamericana para estudar a questão da identidade latinoamericana, a partir do conceito de ressentimento social, e a participação social e popular. Esta parte dos estudos pretende representar uma contribuição à discussão a respeito do multiculturalismo e educação. Outro ponto de meu interesse refere-se à questião da descentralização das políticas públicas, no contexto da reforma do estado no atual proceso de reestruturação capitalista, e de seu par complementar a globalização. O suposto é de que a descentralização é una estratégia para limitar la transnacionalização da ação política.
Formação de espaço educativo para a construção de conhecimento compreensivo sobre o processo de saúde
Authors: Bertani Iris Fenner
Published: July 2021

Elaborou-se sistemática de intervenções sobre a compreensão da saúde pública como questão social por meio da criação de espaço de compartilhamento com a comunidade. Iniciou-se a construção do ensinamento participativo entre a população, profissionais e acadêmicos a respeito dos mitos e realidades sobre o conhecimento empírico e o científico na área da saúde pública no município de Franca e região. O objetivo foi proporcionar a experiência do debate crítico sobre as questões da saúde como objeto concreto, introduzindo como esforço consciente, a reflexão dos determinantes sociais e o ideário ético-político, vinculados à definição de saúde como vida. Os pesquisadores prepararam-se para o trabalho de condução não-diretiva para a coordenação de cada debate. Realizaram reuniões mensais, divulgadas por cartazes afixados na Universidade e nas Unidades de Saúde de Franca. As contribuições construídas para o estudo da questão da saúde enfocaram-na mais como um produto social do que uma adversidade biológica. As avaliações positivas ao fim de cada conversa e as sugestões temáticas para os próximos encontros apontavam que o trabalho estava no caminho certo e que devia prosseguir. Podese dizer que foi possível o abandono relativo de certezas ao submetê-las a novas compreensões.
A interdependência da prática docente e a construção da héxis corporal de professores de educação física e suas consequências na unidade escolar

Published: July 2021

Este artigo mostra a interdependência existente entre a prática docente e a construção da héxis corporal de professores de Educação Física e as suas consequências na unidade escolar, condição essa verificada pelo itinerário social desses agentes sociais que ministram aulas em uma escola municipal de ensino fundamental, na cidade de Araraquara – SP. Como pressuposto básico deste artigo, estabeleceu-se que a construção social da héxis corporal do professor de Educação Física é um processo em constante construção, pois é resultante de sua trajetória de vida com intervenções provenientes do contexto social em que vive. Nesse enfrentamento diário, o agente e/ou o seu grupo social tende a tornar visíveis os aspectos de dinamicidade e de permanência de sua ação. Em tal dinâmica, o agente e/ou o grupo a que pertence incorpora os elementos constituintes da realidade social e, a seu modo, exterioriza os conteúdos simbólicos interiorizados, compartilhando os traços de uma cultura comum que pode ser examinada através do conceito de habitus. A héxis, nesse sentido, é a dimensão que possibilita a internalização das conseqüências das práticas sociais e, também, a sua exteriorização corporal – através do modo de falar, gesticular, olhar, andar, sentar-se, manejar instrumentos, manter a postura da cabeça ou fazer caretas, cada vez mais associado a um tom de voz dos agentes sociais. As crianças são particularmente atentas, em todas as sociedades, a esses gestos e a essas posturas que caracterizam um adulto.
