Published: October 2021

Abstract Introduction Open bite can generate relevant psychosocial impact in the daily life of the patient, both from the aesthetic and functional point of view. Objective The aim of this study was to estimate the prevalence and factors associated with the anterior open bite in children in the first school year in a municipality in southern Brazil. Material and method A cross-sectional study was carried out with six-year-old schoolchildren in Palhoça/SC. Interviews were conducted with mothers to gather socioeconomic and non-nutritive sucking habits information. Children oral clinical examinations were carried out in schools. Multivariate analyses were performed using Poisson regression with a robust estimator. The study involved 655 children, 50.5% being female. Result The prevalence of anterior open bite was 14.1% (95% CI 11.5; 16.7). Girls exhibited a lower prevalence [PR= 0.96 (95% CI 0.94; 0.99) p= 0.024] and those children who used a pacifier exhibited a higher prevalence of anterior open bite [PR= 1.04 (95% CI 1.01; 1.07) p= 0.003]. Conclusion The prevalence was 14.1% and that it was associated with gender and the use of pacifier, in a statistically significant and independent way.

Published: October 2021

Resumo Este estudo de caráter qualitativo teve como objetivo analisar as funções exercidas pelos membros das redes sociais significativas de pessoas aposentadas. Participaram da pesquisa doze aposentados com idade entre 52 e 66 anos. Os instrumentos de coleta de dados foram entrevistas semiestruturadas e mapas de redes. A organização e a análise dos dados se fundamentaram na Grounded Theory e contaram com o auxílio do software Atlas.ti versão 1.6.0. Os resultados evidenciaram que, embora os participantes sustentem vínculos em outros contextos relacionais, a família e os amigos se distinguem como os principais articuladores das interações sociais nesse período da vida. Identificou-se ainda que as redes influenciam diferentes momentos do processo de aposentadoria, sendo que as funções exercidas pelos membros foram recursos importantes que auxiliaram na tomada de decisão e no ajustamento dos idosos. Diante disso, o conjunto de resultados alcançados elucidam a relevância de considerar o universo relacional em que o aposentado se encontra participando, posto que, por meio dos intercâmbios afetivos construídos com os membros das redes sociais, consolidam-se ações que agenciam os processos de mudança atrelados à aposentadoria.
UMA BREVE RELEITURA DA PERSONAGEM HELENA E A FISSURA NO ROMANTISMO
Authors: SALES CRISTIANO DE
Published: October 2021

Resumo Este texto propõe uma breve releitura da personagem Helena, do romance homônimo de Machado de Assis. Ele parte da crítica de João Hernesto Weber (2008) e passa pela proposição e denúncia da afrodiáspora, conforme Edimilson de Almeida Pereira (2021), para demonstrar que o romance em questão, geralmente localizado numa fase romântica do escritor, não pode ser facilmente acomodado nessa estética de expressão triunfante do século XIX. A permanência dessa narrativa no lugar em que a crítica a situou sobrevive mais por conta do caráter nacionalista anunciado em textos críticos do próprio autor e se torna questionável, quando olhamos novamente, e um pouco mais distantes no tempo, para a personagem Helena e suas tensões na sociedade escravocrata.
The use of Parmotrema tinctorum (Parmeliaceae) as a bioindicator of air pollution
Authors: Raimundo-Costa William , Ferreira Deusmaque Carneiro , Anhê Ana Carolina Borella Marfil , Senhuk Ana Paula Milla dos Santos
Published: October 2021

Abstract Air quality monitoring by automatic stations, although efficient, does not allow evaluating the effects of pollution on living organisms and communities. Thus, the aim of the present study was to use lichens of the Parmotrema tinctorum species in active air quality biomonitoring. We used a new methodology of chlorosis area analyses in QGis software, as low-cost and complementary tool to physicochemical methods. Samples of the aforementioned species were exposed to atmospheric pollution for 30 consecutive days in the dry and rainy seasons, in urban and industrial regions. The chlorosis rate (34% of the lichen thalli, on average) and the accumulation of sulfur (1.1 g.kg-1, on average) were higher in the samples of lichens exposed in the industrial region, in the dry season. There was a moderate-to-high positive correlation between chlorosis rate and lichen content of nitrogen, sulfur, iron and zinc, in the dry season, mainly with sulfur (r = 0.71). The results confirmed the sensitive of P. tinctorum to atmospheric pollution, even after a short exposure time. Such new active biomonitoring methodology (chlorosis analysis in the QGis) can be used in future studies of air quality assessment by environmental and health surveillance managers.
Zoomingin on quartzitic outcrops: micro-habitat influences on flora and vegetation
Authors: Badia Clara da Cruz Vidart , Messias Maria Cristina Teixeira Braga , Echternacht Livia
Published: October 2021

Abstract Rock outcrop vegetation is recognized worldwide by its singular and biodiverse flora. Campo Rupestre forms hyperdiverse mosaics in rocky environments across a wide latitudinal and altitudinal gradient, with high species turnover at macro- and micro-scales. The surrounding biomes, climate, and geological formations are the main drivers of species turnover on a macro-scale while micro-habitat seems to be the main one determining the peculiarities of the Campo Rupestre on a micro-scale. In a quartzitic Campo Rupestre area we evaluate how the outcrop micro-habitats influence floristic composition and functional traits. The study area is located in the municipality of Ouro Preto, Minas Gerais state, southeastern Brazil. Two main outcrop habitats were considered: top surfaces, with bare rock, shallow depressions and ephemeral ponds; and lateral surfaces, with clefts and crevices. We recorded the vascular species, their respective life-forms (according to Raunkiaer’s system) as well as their coverage in 18 plots. We identified 71 species in 31 families. The floristic spectra and species composition were similar between top and lateral surfaces. There was no significant difference among the vegetational spectra. However, hemicryptophytes were slightly dominant on top, while on the sides chamaephytes were the dominant life-form. Understanding plant adaptations to these environments provides insights into the mechanisms underlying geomorphological heterogeneity in plant communities.
Ferns and lycophytes of the Cerrado State Park, Paraná, Brazil
Authors: Nunes Mauricio Gonçalves , Labiak Paulo Henrique
Published: October 2021

Abstract We present a checklist of the ferns and lycophytes from the Cerrado State Park, Jaguariaíva, Paraná, Brazil. This region represents the southernmost limit of Cerrado vegetation in Brazil. The park is located along the Devonian Escarpment, one of the most iconic geological formations in southern Brazil. The remnants of Cerrado in Paraná are relics of a colder and drier climate that occurred during the Last Glacial Maximum, about 5,600 years ago. They are now surrounded by natural grasslands and Araucaria Forest, which is typical of southern Brazil. We recorded 112 species (102 ferns and ten lycophytes), from 51 genera and 16 families. Ten species were first recorded in the Devonian Escarpment, and Ctenitis bigarellae and Tryonia areniticola are rare. None of the species are endemic to the Cerrado and most are typical of the humid forests of Eastern Brazil. We provide notes and illustrations for all species.
Diversity of Myrtaceae in and surroundings the Chapada Diamantina National Park, Brazil

Published: October 2021

Abstract We evaluated the diversity of Myrtaceae in Chapada Diamantina National Park (CDNP) and neighboring municipalities (NM), identifying the areas with the highest richness and those with the lowest sampling efforts, collecting specimens in situ, and analyzing herbarium collections. The geographic data and maps include collection efforts (CE), species richness (SR), and estimated richness (J1). Ninety-seven species and nine genera were recorded for NM, with 82 species and nine genera occurring in CDNP. The CE and SR were similar in NM and CDNP, and the quadrants with the highest values were in the municipalities of Lençóis and Palmeiras. The J1 was also similar in NM and CDNP. Fifteen species found in NM do not occur in CDNP, and some are considered endangered or are restricted to non-protected areas, especially caatinga areas. Some species showed distributions limited to only one or two vegetation types, although many areas have been only superficially surveyed. Endemic species are subject to anthropic pressure, and some are currently considered endangered or vulnerable. The expansion of the limits of the CDNP to encompass areas of caatinga vegetation will improve the conservation status of the family.

Published: October 2021

Abstract Nectariferous and polliniferous resources are key to the survival of social bees, so identifying the origin sources allows the implementation of management actions aimed at a greater supply of nutrients for the colonies. Besides, defining the floral origin of honeys contributes to their characterization and commercialization. The objective of our work was to identify the plants that provide nectar to the bees Apis mellifera and Tetragonisca fiebrigi in northern Misiones, through palynological analysis of honey samples collected between 2006 and 2008. Both bees showed a polylectic foraging habit. Richness of pollen types per sample ranged between 10 and 34 (mean = 20.5 ± 7.7) for A. mellifera, and between 13 and 43 (mean = 24.8 ± 7.1) for T. fiebrigi. The 15 most abundant pollen types in the honeys of A. mellifera were, in decreasing order of importance, Euphorbiaceae, Euterpe edulis, Holocalyx balansae, Calyptranthes concinna-type, Actinostemon, Salix, Ruprechtia laxiflora, Myrcianthes pungens-type, Thinouia mucronata, Allophylus edulis, Ilex, Syagrus romanzoffiana, Gouania latifolia-type, Parapiptadenia rigida, and Baccharis-type, whereas in the honeys of T. fiebrigi the most important pollen types included S. romanzoffiana, Schinus weinmannifolius-type, Baccharis-type, H. balansae, E. edulis, Rhamnaceae, Citrus, Leonurus japonicus, G. latifolia-type, A. edulis, Gomphrena perennis-type, Pouteria gardneriana, P. rigida, Zanthoxylum, and Actinostemon.

O que há de sociológico no crime organizado? Uma revisão do conceito
Authors: Mello Neto David Maciel de
Published: October 2021

Resumo A ideia de crime organizado nasceu num contexto normativo para designar um problema social. Todavia, o desenvolvimento da teorização a seu respeito poucas vezes esclareceu seu problema sociológico. O objetivo deste artigo é resgatar o que o crime organizado tem a dizer sobre ação, ordem e mudança sociais. Para isso, revisa estudos que inauguram uma perspectiva inovadora de descrição ou explicação do objeto. A conclusão é de que, caso seja tratado com clareza sociológica, o crime organizado tem muito a contribuir para a teorização sociológica, pois representa um caso-limite para essas três questões basais de toda e qualquer teoria social.

Contações femininas: gênero e percepções de mulheres dependentes químicas
Authors: Gomes Erika Ravena Batista , Brilhante Aline Veras Morais
Published: October 2021

Resumo A dependência química é entendida pela ciência como um fenômeno complexo, multifatorial e polêmico. Embora o consumo de substâncias psicoativas e os problemas dele decorrentes sejam comuns nos diferentes gêneros, faixas etárias, classes econômicas e grupos sociais, esses constructos atuam de modos diferentes considerando seu papel nas estruturações das subjetividades e relação destas com o meio social. Buscou-se, nesse estudo, compreender a relação entre questões de gênero e dependência química partindo da percepção de mulheres que buscaram acompanhamento em saúde por adicção. Trata-se de pesquisa qualitativa realizada com mulheres dependentes de substâncias psicoativas, sendo estas lícitas - como álcool, tabaco e medicamentos - e ilícitas - como maconha e cocaína. A análise das entrevistas teve como base a análise de conteúdo de Bardin, embasada por estudos sobre gênero e dependência química. Os resultados demonstram que as questões de gênero marcam fortemente as percepções femininas de si, da forma como os papéis de mulher são ou não exercidos no movimento da dependência química e de como a sociedade valida seus comportamentos. Evidências deste estudo permitem inferir que as questões de gênero perpassam as vivências atreladas à dependência química, singularizando a relação da mulher com a droga.

Authors: BARRIOS ZAYDA , QUINTERO LEIVER
Published: October 2021

Introducción: Los traumatismos buco dentales observados en pacientes pediátricos son eventos cotidianos, especialmente durante los tres primeros años de vida. Las consecuencias que pueden tener lugar sobre los dientes definitivos pueden ser anomalías de estructura, anomalías morfológicas de corona o raíz, alteraciones en la cronología de la erupción, retenciones, impactaciones y/o malformaciones del germen permanente. Independientemente del tipo de traumatismo, el seguimiento es fundamental. Reporte del caso: paciente masculino 9 meses de edad, quien sufre caída por una escalera. El área traumatizada involucró el sector antero inferior: incisivo central inferior derecho primario con luxación lateral, móvil a la palpación y con desplazamiento del tejido gingival circundante. El incisivo central inferior izquierdo primario con movilidad grado 1. Luego de la valoración clínica y radiográfica se decide realizar la exodoncia del incisivo central inferior derecho primario. El paciente no asistió a las citas de control sino hasta los 7 años, 7 meses de edad, observándose en ese momento, el incisivo central inferior derecho permanente con hipoplasia del esmalte y dilaceración de la corona y el incisivo central inferior izquierdo permanente con hipoplasia del esmalte. Se realizaron interconsultas para decidir la acción a seguir. Conclusión: Un traumatismo buco dental que involucre a la dentición primaria a corta edad, puede acarrear consecuencias para la dentición permanente, lo que hace necesario el informar a los padres de manera comprensible para facilitar la evaluación y el procedimiento odontológico oportuno a seguir.
Supporting Patients With Schizophrenia in the Era of COVID-19
Authors: Kim Sung-Wan
Published: October 2021

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has drastically impacted our society and health care system. People with schizophrenia are more vulnerable to this burden of illness and related societal changes. In addition, they are more susceptible to the transmission of COVID-19 and have a significantly higher mortality rate compared to the general population. In a recent study, vaccinated patients with schizophrenia showed a greatly decreased mortality level similar to that of the general population. However, patients with schizophrenia were less likely to be vaccinated. Mental health professionals should provide them with appropriate information on prevention strategies against COVID-19 and vaccination. Long-lasting social distancing and social disconnection can make people with schizophrenia more vulnerable to loneliness and depression. Furthermore, patients with schizophrenia may face challenges continuing psychiatric treatment due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Social support and suitable mental health services using novel technologies should be developed and provided to patients with schizophrenia.

Published: October 2021

Objectives: The optimal duration of maintenance treatment for patients with first-episode schizophrenia (FES) remains unclear. We examined the first antipsychotic treatment duration and its association with re-initiation of treatment using a nationwide claim database.Methods: Data from the Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service database in South Korea for 2007–2016 were used. Linear regression analysis and Cox proportional hazard models were used to evaluate the associations between the duration of the first antipsychotic treatment, time to re-initiation of treatment, and occurrence of treatment re-initiation.Results: Of 30,143 patients with FES, 80.4% (n=24,231) received <2 years of the first antipsychotic treatment. In patients who discontinued treatment (n=23,030), the rate of treatment re-initiation was 74.2% (n=17,086). As the duration of the first antipsychotic treatment increased, the time to re-initiation of treatment decreased (β=-0.146, p<0.001); however, the rate of treatment re-initiation was relatively constant (hazard ratio=1.001, p<0.001).Conclusion: Long-term antipsychotic treatment was not significantly associated with the rate of treatment re-initiation but showed a negative association with the time to re-initiation of treatment. Further research is needed to better understand the optimal treatment duration for FES.
Exploring Entertainment Law’s Boundaries: Applying a Transdisciplinary Approach
Authors: Greenfield Steve
Published: October 2021

This piece sets out the challenges faced by the entertainment industry and the parallel altered role of law. What amounts to entertainment and how it is created, produced, distributed and consumed is at the centre of the inquiry. The second part of the equation is to consider what the legal dimension to the subject is or could consist of and most importantly the disciplinary context. This forms the framework for teaching and research. It argues that the nature of the industry is such that the analysis needs to move beyond the rigid and limited doctrinal perspective provided by a single discipline. Thus, the learning strategy needs to be brought into line with a movement away from law as the sole dimension. It tries to create a holistic view as to what the curriculum encompasses and how it can be delivered drawing upon the broad concept of transdisciplinarity.

Брендинг Ивановской области как проблема и процесс
Authors: Каган Феликс Иосифович
Published: October 2021

Статья намечает возможный подход к ребрендингу Ивановской области в условиях комплексного постсоветского кризиса. В 1990-е годы регион оказался в сложнейшей ситуации, отягощенной острыми социально-экономическими и демографическими проблемами, возникшими в перестроечный и постперестроечный период на фоне системного кризиса текстильной отрасли страны. Тяжесть кризисной ситуации усугублялась моноотраслевым характером развития региона, занимавшего ведущее положение в текстильной отрасли в масштабах страны на протяжении почти четырех столетий. Положение начало выправляться лишь недавно, поэтому приобрела актуальность проблема ребрендинга региона.При построении бренд-платформы Ивановской области автор опирается на шестиугольник Анхольта, сочетающий показатели состояния шести сфер: (1) архив имиджей/брендов, (2) историко-культурное наследие, (3) бизнес, инвестиции и миграция, (4) въездной и внутренний туризм, (5) человеческий капитал, (6) внутренняя и внешняя политика. Содержательное наполнение этой схемы проводится автором с учетом социально-экономической и историко-культурной специфики Ивановского края. Он выполняет подробный анализ истории образов и позиционирования Ивановской области на протяжении XVII–XX веков, что позволяет задать историческую глубину анализу текущего состояния и перспектив развития региона. Намечаются возможные пути развития его туристической сферы.
Public Art? Examining the Differences between Contemporary Sculpture inside and outside the Art Institution
Authors: Pons Lluís , Llobet Jasmina , Viladomiu Àngels
Published: October 2021

This text explores three main differences between a sculpture installed within a museum and a sculpture installed in public space. It analyses the institutional framework, the relationship between the viewer and the artwork, the nature of the audience. The authors argue that there are key differences that require correspondingly different ways of understanding, conceiving and making sculptural projects in public space.
When installed in public space, art encounters a whole new environment: conventional museum procedures and attitudes are no longer applicable. Sculptures installed in public space lack clear institutional reference points that would confer them the status of art, so they automatically settle in beside other urban objects, in a diffuse and mixed zone. New approaches must be found that take into account the specificities of public space, the local context and the establishing of dialogue with the local community. Moreover, the evaluation of these projects should depart from mere aesthetic considerations and take on board ideas and methodologies from other disciplines. With regards to a broadened, diversified and participatory audience, it would make only sense to involve them as an intrinsic part of a more collaborative notion of sculpture and public art.

Kinaesthetic Perception and Architecture
Authors: Özdamar Esen Gökçe
Published: October 2021

This article highlights the review of the kinaesthetic perception derived from the words Greek kinein (to move), and aesthesis is defined as the perception of movement in architecture. Kinaesthetic perception is defined as “a sense mediated by end organs located in muscles, tendons, and joints and stimulated by bodily movement and tensions,” and “sensory experience derived from this sense”. Since the 1960s, kinaesthetic perception, known as a term in neurology, psychology, orthopedics, and medicine, has been explored for creativity, especially in architecture, art, dance, particle animation, hypermedia, and game theories. This perception has been studied in Merleau-Ponty’s phenomenology in architectural theory and education and in terms of the oblique idea of Paul Virilio and Claude Parent, which have emerged as one of the important and triggering terms of kinaesthetic perception in architecture today. With the advent of technology, re-introducing this perception through technology or traditional means can help us remember the multidimensional interaction of our senses. Therefore, this article examines an interdisciplinary relationship between kinaesthetic perception, architecture, and movement, and the body or soma and asks what kinaesthetic perception can provide new experiences in architecture.

Global gene expression profiling, cytoadherence and immune evasion in Plasmodium yoelii blood-stage malaria parasites
Authors:   , Cernetich Ott Amy , Burns James M.
Published: October 2021

Microarray studies using in vitro cultured blood-stage Plasmodium falciparum parasites reveal a 'just in time' gene expression cascade, implying that transcriptional patterns remain stable in the presence of external stressors. However, analysis of P. falciparum parasites isolated from infected patients suggests that parasite gene expression is modulated by host factors in vivo. We examined changes in gene expression of the rodent malaria parasite, Plasmodium yoelii 17X, while varying the in vivo environment. Using P. yoelii DNA microarrays, we examined differential gene expression in parasites from individual mice, from independent infections, at varying parasitemias and in the presence/absence of host antibody responses. We were interested in identifying coordinated changes in groups of genes associated with specific biological pathways. We also analyzed expression patterns of two multigene families in P. yoelii, the yir and pyst-a. Across experimental conditions, transcription was remarkably stable with little evidence for distinct transcriptional states or consistent changes in specific pathways. There was virtually no differential expression of the yir and pyst-a familes, although a relatively large number were expressed during blood-stage infection across experimental conditions. P. falciparum parasites encode P. falciparum erythrocyte membrane protein-1 (PfEMPA) which is expressed on the infected red blood cell (RBC) surface and mediates adherence to receptors on host tissues. The RBC surface proteins that mediate adherence in other malaria species are unknown. Unlike P. falciparum, Plasmodium vivax infects immature human RBCs (i.e., reticulocytes). Reticulocytes are scarce in circulation, and reticulocyte-restricted parasites may adhere to sites of erythropoiesis for efficient host cell invasion. Using the reticulocyte-restricted parasite P. yoelii 17X, we developed an adherence assay that allows for isolation of parasites from adherent and non-adherent reticulocytes. Using DNA microarrays, we identified six genes whose expression was consistently associated with the adherence phenotype. We characterized three of these: PY06717, PY00074 and PY04120. We show that PY04120 localizes to the iRBC surface, and sera directed against PY04120 can block adherence of P. yoelii 17X infected reticulocytes to a murine brain endothelial cell line. These results indicate that PY04120 is a putative adhesin that contributes to iRBC adherence to host tissues.

According to world statistics, the number of people with visual impairment is 1.3 billion, most of this number are people over 50 years old [2]. Over the past 20 years, developments in the treatment of AMD and fundus diseases have advanced and include drugs such as vascular endothelial growth factor inhibitors. The molecular structures of drugs intended for intravitreal use range from RNA aptamers (pegaptanib) to full-length monoclonal antibodies (mAb: bevacizumab) to Fab fragments (ranibizumab) and an antibody conjugate (aflibercept). In addition, single-chain variable fragment (scFv: brolucizumab), bispecific monoclonal antibody (faricimab) and DARPin (abigar pegol) show promising results in clinical trials.[6],[7] Brolucizumab (RTH258) was developed by ESBATech (ES-BATech AG — Schlieren ZH, Switzerland) originally under the name ESBA1008, an inhibitor of the humanized single chain antibody fragment (scFv) of all isoforms of vascular endothelial growth factor-A (VEGF-A). [6],[7],[11]. The Faricimab (ROCHE, Switzerland) molecule is characterized by the presence of a bispecific antibody that simultaneously binds to both VEGF-A and Ang-2; the drug consists of an anti-Ang-2 antigen-binding fragment (Fab), an anti-VEGF-A Fab and a crystallizing modified fragment (Fc region) with a total size of 150 kDa. This “crossover” effect provided high affinity for both targets while also maintaining a good stability profile compared to natural antibodies [8]. Abicipar Pegol (Abicipar, Allergan. Dublin, Ireland) is a DARPin aimed at binding all VEGF-A isoforms, like ranibizumab. It has a higher affinity and a longer half-life from the eye than ranibizumab (>13 days versus 7.2 days), making it a potential drug with a longer duration of action and the need for less frequent injections [15]. In this article, we tried to summarize the literature data on new anti-VEGF drugs being developed and ready for release. We hope that the appearance of these drugs on the market will make it possible to reduce the injection load on the patient and optimize their material costs.

This literature review describes the effect that orthokeratology lenses render on various eye’s structures. The use of these lenses, in addition to the expected changes can cause undesirable effects. The positive aspects include stopping or slowing the myopia’s progression, as well as a temporary improvement of uncorrected visual acuity by changing the shape of the anterior surface of the cornea. Undesirable moments are a change in the homeostasis of the tear film, epitheliopathy, the lens binding, in addition, there is the appearance of an iron arch, an increase in the visibility of fibrillary lines, a transient change in the biomechanical properties of the cornea. On the positive side, these changes do not affect visual function and eye health; moreover, they are reversible. At the same time, the terms of recovery of various structures of the eye can differ from several weeks to several months, depending on the duration of treatment and the target refraction. Thus, the use of orthokeratology lenses is a safe and effective method for correcting and “controlling” myopia.

Cataract is one of the most common diseases in ophthalmology nowadays, ranks first in the world among the causes of reversible blindness and remains a multifactorial disease, involving complex interactions between metabolic disorders, genetic predisposition and environmental risk factors. Studying the properties of the lens is important in “cataract” surgery from a clinical perspective. Determination of the mechanical hardness of the lens is particularly important to optimize the amount of ultrasonic energy expended during phacoemulsification in order to minimize the number of complications, however, the existing methods are rather subjective and based mainly on biomicroscopy with visual assessment. Ultrasound constitutes a significant part of the methods of studying the lens. There are methods for determining the density of the lens using A-scan (one-dimensional image) and B-scan (two-dimensional image). Basically, these techniques provide information on acoustic density, but not on mechanical hardness. Several studies have used a high frequency needle tranducer to determine the hardness of the lens. The authors believe that the combination of an ultrasound needle tranducer and a phacoemulcification probe for real-time feedback may provide better surgical efficiency. Ultrasound elastography, static and dynamic is used to assess the elastic properties of tissues in many areas of medicine. In ophthalmology, elastography is not used in general clinical practice, however, the density of the lens is assessed in vivo using compression elastography in some studies. Also, a number of researchers offer combined system of ultrasound elastography and OCT, called OCTelastography. It is assumed that OCT elastography can provide better spatial image resolution and faster acquisition rates. The literature review reveals summarized data on methods of studying the lens, its acoustic and mechanical density, using various ultrasound research techniques, including such poorly understood methods in ophthalmology as compression elastography and optical coherent elastography.

The presence of a balance between the production and outflow of intraocular fluid ensures stability of the level of intraocular pressure (IOP). To reduce IOP means to affect one of these variables. For many decades, transscleral technologies in the treatment of glaucoma were considered exclusively as traumatic cyclodestructive interventions that only affect the reduction of intraocular pressure (IOP). These methods have recently been considered as possible ways to influence uveoscleral outflow. This became possible due to the appearance of new lasers, the development of new modes of their operation, points of application in the projection of the pars plana of the ciliary body (for example, TRANS-scleral CFC in micro-pulse mode at λ = 810 µm and CFC using pulsed periodic laser radiation at λ = 1.56 µm). They have a gentler effect and, accordingly, cause fewer side effects and undesirable effects. This explains the increasing shift towards the use of transscleral technologies in the earlier stages of glaucoma, not only for end-stage painful glaucoma resistant to conventional treatment (so-called “last resort surgery”).

Published: October 2021

In this study, the effect of some pre-treatments (conventional and 40 kHz 200 W ultrasound soaking) on corn drying was studied. One-hour pre-treated corn samples were dried at 80, 90 and 100 °C in the laboratory type convective air dryer for 240 min time. The moisture contents and physical characteristics such as length, width, thickness, equivalent diameter, equivalent volume, sphericity, thousand kernel weight and hectoliter weight of pre-treated corn samples at each temperature were analyzed for every 60 min during 240 min drying. When the conventional and ultrasound soaking pre-treatments were compared in the temperature range of 80-100 °C during 240 minutes drying of corn, the changes in the reduction rates in moisture content, thousand-kernel weight, hectoliter weight, equivalent diameter and equivalent volume values were 77-86% and 87-90%, 24-27% and 26-29%, 10-13% and 19-20%, 3-10% and 4-9%, 9-25% and 11-25%, respectively. When the results of the research were analyzed, the effect of ultrasound pre-treatment, drying temperature and drying time on moisture content, dimensions (length, width, thickness), equivalent diameter, equivalent volume, sphericity, thousand kernel weight and hectoliter weight of corn grains were found to be significant (P≤0.05).

Published: October 2021

O objetivo da presente pesquisa foi analisar a relação entre o excesso de confiança dos gestores e a estratégia empresarial. Para isso, foram utilizadas três diferentes proxies para o excesso de confiança e seis diferentes dimensões estratégicas. As relações foram estabelecidas a partir de um painel composto por dados de 244 empresas brasileiras não financeiras de capital aberto, por meio de regressões múltiplas. Tal metodologia permitiu identificar que a estratégia empresarial se relaciona de forma diferente aos vários aspectos que compõem a estratégia. Gestores excessivamente confiantes tendem a promover maior imobilização de ativos e a adotar estruturas de capital mais alavancadas, além disso, eles possuem maior dificuldade em promover giros no estoque, ou seja, gerar recursos próprios.

Authors: Muller Sherma , Watkins-Fassler Karen
Published: October 2021

Based on agency theory, this paper contributes to the literature by assessing the effects of Supervisory Board size, gender diversity, and multiple directorship on performance within the banking industry of the small island developing state: Curacao. The research made use of the data drawn from annual reports of locally generated banks and its subsidiaries. Results from linear regressions indicate a positive relationship between multiple directorship and bank performance, and a negative association between bank outcomes and both gender diversity and board size. According to these results, it is concluded that the legislation on corporate governance for credit institutions in Curacao should incorporate a maximum number of members on the board, as well as promote interlocking directorates and quotas by gender.

In this paper, the problem of minimization of the number of local navigation system (LNS) reference points (RPs) and RPs’ location optimization is posed according to the criterion of ensuring the factor of geometric dilution of precision (GDOP) averaged over the space is not worse than a given one. According to authors’ best knowledge, this is the first time such a problem has been posed and solved. An approximate numerical solution to the problem based on a genetic algorithm is proposed. The effectiveness of the proposed method is assessed by simulating the placement of a different number of ranging LNS RPs in rooms of various configurations and comparing the result with the quasi-optimal result of a complete numerical search of all possible locations of the LNS anchors. The conclusion is made on the applicability of the proposed method for solving the problem and the prospects of building on its basis a tool for automating the development of positional LNS to reduce the development time and the cost of infrastructure.

Published: October 2021

Dental healthcare continues to be limited for large populations of both developing and developed nations. Hectic metropolitan work schedule, improper dentist-population ratio, lack of awareness, or global health emergencies such as the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic could be the possible reasons. This results in proliferation of teledentistry based practice, aided by global smartphone networking. Smartphone teledentistry apps require proper scientific literature backup along with ready availability in popular app stores such as Google Play store, and Apple app store. This article aims to identify which smartphone apps designed to provide teledentistry features are rooted in evidence-based literature such that the percentage of scientifically supported apps that were commercially available to consumers can be determined. Smartphone apps for teledentistry were evaluated in three phases. Phase 1 identified all teledentistry apps reported in the scientific literature. Phase 2 identified which apps from the literature review were available in the app stores. Phase 3 identified the top teledentistry apps available in the app stores. 11 studies identified 5 apps with only 1 being available in both the app stores. Few apps qualified the scientific searching process, whereas the number of apps available on app stores are greater.
