Does Institutional Ownership Affect Accounting Conservatism in Portuguese Capital Market?
Authors: Alves Sandra
Published: January 2021

Ownership structures vary among entities. These different ownership structures can result in variation in governance structures, which would reflect the different rights associated with various types of owners. These governance structures in turn could lead a greater or lesser degree of influence over the financial reporting process by large owners and/or managers. In this sense, existing literature suggests that conservatism is related to institutional ownership. For a sample of 26 non-financial listed Portuguese firms-year from 2002 to 2017, we examine the association between accounting conservatism and institutional ownership. The study’s results show that the coefficient institutional ownership variable is positive but not statistically significant. Thus, it is not possible to conclude that monitoring institutions are an important class of investors that demands conservatism as a governance device.

The emergence of new technologies provides an unique opportunities to exploit novel approaches in drug delivery. A shift from conventional drug delivery to novel drug delivery is noticed as shift from conventional drug delivery suffers from various drawbacks, But these new mighty compounds in drug therapy solely are not sufficient to meet the today’s need. There is an urgent need for the smart technology, as the drugs available suffer from serious problems like poor solubility and poor bioavailability. Most of the drugs that are available therapeutically comes under BCS class II ie, poorly soluble and high lipophilc. To assure progress in drug therapy, the development of new drugs merely is not sufficient. Issues arising in delivery of new drugs should also be addressed. Thus there is an emergent need to improve the bioavailability of these drugs, the only remedy or boon for such drugs is the discovery of some smart technologies which can improve the bioavailability of these drugs. Nano drug delivery systems are the one such universal approach which fulfills the lacuna, which exists in conventional drug delivery systems. These Nano drug delivery systems, improves the pharmacokinetic profiles of many drugs. In 1980 K. Eric Drexler developed and popularized the concept of nanotechnology. In this review a deep insight on Nano structured lipid carriers is discussed elaborating its birth, significant qualities compared to other colloidal systems, its structure, characteristics, preparation and application are spotted.

Novel Delivery System Used for Oral Bioavailability Enhancement of Poorly Water Soluble Drugs
Authors: Lakavath Sunil Kumar
Published: January 2021

Majority of the drugs used for the treatment of various diseases are administered by oral route using conventional delivery. The major drawback of the oral administration is the poor bioavailability due to the poor water solubility, chemical stability and pre-systemic metabolism. Numerous researches are going on for the improvement of oral bioavailability of drugs using novel drug delivery systems as an alternative to conventional delivery systems. Majority of the novel delivery system includes; solid dispersion, sustained, controlled buccal, gastro retentive, nano carrier delivery systems such as lipid nanoparticles, and self-emulsifying systems. The oral bioavailability improvement by these delivery systems might be due to the increased particle size, improved dissolution and/or permeation and subsequently bioavailability of the drugs. In this review, we attempt to discuss the various novel delivery systems developed for the enhancement of oral bioavailability of poorly water soluble therapeutics.

Keywords: Oral bioavailability, poor solubility, stability, metabolism, novel delivery systems, nano carriers.

Authors: SİZER BİLAL , Gül Aylin , Demir Songül Karababa
Published: January 2021

Purpose Studying the effect of Mesna on middle ear otitis media and
cholesteatoma induced by propylene glycol on an experimental animal
model. Methods The study was designed to consist of sixteen Wistar
albino rats, their right ears being the control group and left ears
being the experiment group. %50 propylene glycol, gentamicinsulfate and
physiologic salt water were applied to the right ear and %50 propylene
glycol, gentamicinsulfate and %20 Mesna were administered to the left
ear through intratympanic injections on days 1, 3, 8, 15 and 21. The
rats were sacrificed 45 days after the first injection and underwent
histopathological examination. Results It was seen that cholesteatoma
and fibrosis were less common in the experiment group in microscopic
evaluation. A statistically significant decrease was observed when the
average and maximum thicknesses of the tympanic membranes and the
minimum thicknesses of the tympanic bulla of the control group and the
experiment group were compared. (p< 0.05) Conclusion In the
experimental cholesteatoma model created in rats, no statistical
significance was observed, indicating that Mesna, which was applied
intratympanically, completely prevented the formation of cholesteatoma.
However, it was found that the prevalence of cholesteatoma formation was
microscopically less in the experimental group.

Published: January 2021

Objectives: We sought to determine the technical feasibility of surgical
bipolar radiofrequency ablation (endoscopic maze procedure) through the
left chest cavity in patients with an interrupted inferior vena cava
(IVC). Methods and Results: A 57-year-old female with paroxysmal atrial
fibrillation (AF) and an interrupted IVC was referred to our hospital
for radiofrequency ablation. Transseptal puncture and left atrium (LA)
ablation failed through a standard IVC approach via the femoral vein due
to intrahepatic interruption of IVC. We performed a modified surgical
bipolar radiofrequency ablation (RF) on the beating heart through 3
ports in the left chest wall. Pulmonary vein isolation and ablation of
the left atrium were achieved by bipolar radiofrequency ablation.
Ganglionic plexus ablation was completed using the ablation pen. The
left atrial appendage was excluded. No complications occurred during or
after the procedure. The patient was discharged with sinus rhythm 3 days
later after the procedure. She was taking amiodarone (100mg bid) within
6 months after the procedure, and had no recurrence of AF. Conclusions:
We successfully performed a modified mini-maze procedure in a patient
with paroxysmal AF and IVC interruption through the left thoracic cavity
under video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS). We can successfully
complete pulmonary vein (PV) isolation, left atrium box isolation,
cardiac ganglia ablation, Marshall ligament ablation, and coronary sinus
epicardium ablation using this technique.
A New Hemodynamic Index To Predict Late Right Failure In Patients Implanted With Last Generation Centrifugal Pump.
Authors: Montalto Andrea , Amarelli Cristiano , Piazza Vito , Hopkins Kali , Comisso Marina , Pantanella Romina , Musumeci Francesco
Published: January 2021

Background. Right ventricular failure (RVF) is a severe event that
increases perioperative mortality after Left Ventricle Assist Device
(LVAD) implantation. RV function is particularly affected by the LVAD
speed by changing RV preload and afterload as well as the position of
the interventricular septum. However, there are no studies focusing on
the relationship between pump speed optimization and risk factors for
development of lateRVF. Methods. Between 2015 and 2019,50 consecutive
patients received LVAD implantation at San Camillo Hospital in Rome. Of
these, 38 who underwent pump speed optimization were included. Post
optimization hemodynamic data were collected. We assessed: a new
Hemodynamic Index (HI), calculated as follows HI=MAP x PCWP/CVP x RPM
set/RPM max; risk factors for late RVF, which was defined as the
requirement for 7 days or more of inotropic support. Results 10 patients
had late RVF after LVAD implantation. 5 patients required diuretic
therapy and speed optimization. In 3 patients inotropic support with
adrenaline 0.05 g/kg/min was started. 2 patients required prolonged
continuous veno-venous hemofiltration and high dosage inotropic support.
Multivariate analysis revealed that a low HI (odds ratio 11.5, 95 %
confidence interval,1.85-65.5,p[.003] was an independent risk factor
for late RVF after LVAD implantation. Conclusion A low HI, according to
our study, is a significant risk factor for the development of RVF after
LVAD implantation. We suggest adopting this index during the follow-up
to stratify the different hemodynamic profiles and modify the
therapeutic strategies according to the different HI levels obtained for
every single patient.

Published: January 2021

Ligament thumb injuries are uncommon in professional or amateur football. In this paper, we discuss the physical examination and the choice of imaging tests for the diagnosis of Stener’s injury in an amateur goalkeeper. Traditionally, the hand radiography is the first image exam performed, and it may fail because it does not diagnose ligament injury. Ultrasound is more sensitive than conventional radiography for the diagnosis of these lesions and it does not use ionizing radiation and is widely available. Therefore, its use in the medical departments of clubs and hospitals should be encouraged as a first-line exam.

Abstract

The Social Assistance Program for Persons with Severe Disabilities (ASPDB) is a form of state responsibility in fulfilling the rights of persons with disabilities and the embodiment of government social protection for its citizens. The target group of the ASPD program are people with severe disabilities who are unable to carry out activities to fulfill their daily lives so they need help from others. Measurement of effectiveness criteria is based on three main objectives of implementing the ASPDB program, namely: First, the fulfillment of the basic needs of life and daily care for persons with severe disabilities (clothing, food, clean water, daily care) so that their welfare level can be met fairly. Second, the growing concern of families and communities in providing social care and guidance for persons with severe disabilities. Third, growing efforts to fulfill the rights of persons with severe disabilities. Broadly speaking, the effectiveness of the implementation of the ASPDB program in Bandar Lampung has been well implemented. Families of persons with disabilities, which are the main milestones for the growth and development of persons with disabilities, have skills in caring for and looking after persons with disabilities.

As relações entre o decreto nº 9.759/2019 e as ações do CONANDA pelo direito à educação
Authors: Fonseca Ione Barbosa
Published: January 2021

Este artigo tem como objetivo refletir sobre o funcionamento do Conselho Nacional dos Direitos da Criança e do Adolescente (CONANDA), após a promulgação do Decreto nº 9.759 de 11 de abril de 2019 que extinguiu e estabeleceu diretrizes, regras e limitações para os órgãos colegiados da administração pública federal. De cunho qualitativo, a reflexão se baseia na fundamentação teórica e legal sobre a participação social na tomada de decisões sobre políticas públicas para a criança e adolescente. Relatório apresentado pelo CONANDA ao Conselho Nacional de Direitos Humanos (CNDH) evidencia dificuldades enfrentadas no seu funcionamento após a regulamentação do supracitado decreto. Avaliando os problemas de funcionamento do CONANDA no referido relatório, consideramos que as ações dos demais conselhos, estaduais e municipais também podem ser influenciadas, ocasionando uma fragilidade na garantia e proteção dos direitos da criança e do adolescente, principalmente quanto ao direito à educação básica estabelecido legalmente.
A afetividade na prática docente
Authors: Monteiro Luana
Published: January 2021

No presente artigo objetivamos um diálogo sobre a relação entre a afetividade e a prática docente. Como base metodológica, realizamos uma investigação de cunho bibliográfico a respeito do tema. A afetividade vem sendo explorada como objeto de estudo em diferentes áreas, como na filosofia, psicologia e na área educacional. Está imersa na prática docente mediadora, compreendida como um trabalho de interações humanas e pautada no ensino e aprendizagem que não compreende um caráter meramente cognitivo, racional. Dessa forma acreditamos que a afetividade requer ser reconhecida nos espaços escolares como elemento central da prática pedagógica, imbuída de interações humanas, na relação com o outro, estando o elemento afetivo compreendido muito além do abraço e do carinho.

Este trabalho é parte da dissertação “Pelo diálogo entre a Universidade e a Educação Básica: um estudo sobre as Licenciaturas da UFSCar – campus Sorocaba” e trata sobre Universidade, Educação Básica e a interação entre ambas, objetivando estabelecer relações entre as ações que visam aproximar os dois níveis de ensino. É uma pesquisa de abordagem qualitativa, em que o eixo teórico-metodológico se constitui de levantamento bibliográfico especializado sobre a temática no Banco de Teses e Dissertações da CAPES e outras plataformas como Scielo, Redalyc e Google Acadêmico. Em pesquisas recentes, observa-se que a relação entre escola e universidade, enquanto processo de aprendizagem colaborativa, estabelece uma conexão entre ações e discursos, possibilitando a renovação constante de saberes. Os resultados da pesquisa revelaram que a relação entre a universidade e a educação básica é necessária e relevante, no entanto, ainda é insuficiente.
