Authors: Zedi Ildiko , Atanassova-Kalaydzhieva Todorka
Published: February 2021

The purpose of this study is to establish the role of business incubators and their partnership with other economic, state and scientific institutions in Serbia, based on a survey conducted with incubator managers. State institutions and research institutions, as well as universities, are the main partners of business incubators. This cooperation has become a cornerstone of modern Serbian business. To succeed, businesses need to bind to a number of other companies and businesses such as investors, research institutions, economic organizations, local authorities, economic development organizations, and others. The positive effects of creating cluster networks and business incubators are many. Such clustering creates tangible partnerships between start-ups and international companies that support and promote small and medium-sized businesses in Serbia.

Authors: Stoyanova Antoaneta
Published: February 2021

PURPOSE: Preserving the health of consumers is the basis of adopted policies for food safety worldwide. The dynamic changеs in regulatory requirements and the growing number of notifications about dangerous food products sold on the market are a prerequisite for introducing appropriate measures with which participants in the food chain can ensure and demonstrate food safety. The purpose of the present study is to assess the impact of external and internal issues that form the context of food-producing companies, using approaches based on risk-based thinking featuring in ISO 22000:2018. METHODS: The goal is achieved by identifying and analyzing the impact of external and internal circumstances on the surrounding environment. This study has applied the PESTLE and FMEA methods for identifying and assessing the circumstances as elements forming the company's context and objectives related to food safety management through proven expertise. RESULTS: On the basis of the analysis, factors of the environment which can raise concerns are defined and these can be followed by a company risk-and-opportunity assessment. CONCLUSIONS: Through the assessment performed, a basis is created for achieving better results and preventing negative consequences for the development of the company.

PERFECTING THE MANAGEMENT OF OPERATIONS AT THE MANAGERIAL DEPARTMENT OF A UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL
Authors: Slavova Petya
Published: February 2021

Currently, the share of healthcare services offered in Bulgaria is comparatively smaller than that in the European Union member states, however, the Bulgarian healthcare sector continues to be on the route towards the establishment of the new healthcare system. The leading activities in the sector are the provision of comprehensive healthcare services – improvement of health and disease prevention, outpatient medical assistance, hospital medical assistance (treatment, surgery and post-surgery services).
The provision of well-structured and correctly organised business processes, as well as their management are basic economic problems with increasing significance for the management of the healthcare sector.
The review of numerous literature sources, useful practices and statistical data shows that there are gaps in the methods pertaining to the issues related to the methods of perfecting the management of business processes within medical institutions.
The main objective of this paper is:
To present the current state of the management of processes crucial for the healthcare institution and also to prove the usefulness of software tools for perfecting business processes in order to improve their management. Based on this, proposals may be made in order to improve the management of business processes within the healthcare institution.
The subject of this paper is the Urology Clinic as part of the management structure of a University Hospital. The data are analysed both in summary and in groups to which comparative analysis is applied.
Together with the analysis performed on the study results, comparative analysis is also applied to the results provided prior to the introduction of the Balanced Scorecard (BSc) by the healthcare institution. The comparative analysis is used to find relationships which characterise the applicability of adapted methodology for perfecting the management of business processes through the Balanced Scorecard for the efficiency within the healthcare institution.

Published: February 2021

Feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) and feline leukaemia virus (FeLV) are retroviruses affecting felid species worldwide. A study was performed over a period of 5 months in Ireland with the aim to get an updated and more realistic prevalence of these retroviruses. A total of 183 EDTA-anticoagulated whole-blood samples were collected from cats distributed between 10 clinics. The samples were tested using both point-of-care enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Basic clinical data and vaccination history were also recorded for the sampled cats. The results of ELISA tests showed a prevalence of 10.4 and 3.3% for FIV and FeLV, respectively, and an apparent prevalence of 9.3% for FIV and 11.6% for FeLV with PCR. Phylogenetic analysis of the partial polymerase (pol) gene sequences obtained from 8 FIV-positive strains showed that all but one of the Irish strains belonged to FIV subtype A, and one to subtype B. The overall mean genetic similarity between the analysed strains was 91.15%.
Chromatographic fingerprints and quantitative analysis for the quality evaluation of Bao-Yuan Decoction by ultra-performance liquid chromatography coupled with diode array and evaporative light scattering detection

Published: February 2021

Bao-Yuan Decoction (BYD), a widely used traditional Chinese medicine formula, is worth developing into modern dosage forms. To assess the quality of traditional decoction, the commonly used ultra-performance liquid chromatography coupled with diode array and evaporative light scattering detection (UPLC-DAD/ELSD) method was initially applied to develop the analytical methods for the qualitative fingerprints and simultaneous quantitation of multiple marker compounds in BYD. Based on 16 batches of BYD prepared from multiple batches of qualified crude herbs combined randomly, the characteristic fingerprints were generated, with 41 and 19 common peaks detected by DAD and ELSD, respectively. Furthermore, ginsenosides Re, Rg1 and Rb1, calycosin-7-glucoside, calycosin, liquiritin, isoliquiritin apioside, isoliquiritin, glycyrrhizic acid and cinnamic acid were qualified as marker compounds to represent the herbs composing the formula. The characteristic fingerprints and the content ranges of multiple batches of the decoction were obtained, thus providing guidance for the quality control of modern dosage forms. The combination of these qualitative and quantitative methods will be an effective operational measure by which to evaluate and control the quality of BYD from traditional decoction to modern dosage forms.

Published: February 2021

This is the first study on composition of fatty acids in hunting web of Steatoda grossa (Theridiidae) spiders and one of only four similar studies ever made. Its main contribution is a discovery that fatty acids not only cover an outside of the web fibers, but they are even more abundantly represented in the fibers’ inner structure. Although little attention has been so far attributed to the contents of fatty acids in spider silks, one has to remember that their biocompatibility combined with an extraordinary tensile strength make them a worth investigating template for material bioengineering studies.
Words on fire
Authors: Posillico Ailie
Published: February 2021

With a focus on the archives of Gemma Galgani (1878–1903), lay Italian Catholic mystic, stigmatic, and first saint of the twentieth century, the current article highlights the ways in which Gemma cultivated relationships with the hierarchy, specifically through writing, which challenged the ‘traditional,’ clerically approved models of late nineteenth-century Catholic sanctity. With attention to Gemma’s writing, a saint who has otherwise been portrayed by her hagiographer as fitting neatly into the strictures of Italian Catholicism of her time, we see rhetoric that contests the assumption that submission is a necessary component of ‘piety.’ Attending to Gemma’s letters sent to her spiritual advisor, the current study underscores the ways in which we may understand Gemma as more than the quiet, humble, and wounded body for which she has been canonized. Gemma as author, as writing body, as I will show, weaves for herself an alternative system of agency that co-exists with – while at the same time reimagines – the hierarchy of the Catholic Church.
A comunicação sindical como transmissora de informações e catalisadora de reações sinergias entre os sindicatos com os movimentos sociais popu-lares e sociedade
Authors: Amaral Adriana C. A. do
Published: February 2021

Este estudo visa à interação entre os sindicatos e os diferentes movimentos sociais, refletido a partir do contexto atual (2019),em que o Brasil vive uma fase de conflitos de interesses entre a classe trabalhadora e a burguesia. De forma pontual, analisa-se como a comunicação sindical que, além de focar o trabalhador ao divulgar as ações sindicais, pode interagir com os demais movimentos populares. O objetivo deste estudo não é analisar uma base representativa, mas a representação em si, entender as transformações que as entidades sindicais têm vivenciado em consequência das mudanças na relação capital-trabalho e legislação brasileira, bem como suas relações com a sociedade. Identificar quais os desafios atuais dos sindicatos na defesa profissional em sinergia com as demandas sociais,em que os trabalhadores estão inseridos, respeitando a individualidade dos cidadãos nas diferentes classes laborais. Também, o papel aglutinador ligado às causas sociais relativas à pessoa humana, que se somam à questão do trabalho, num momento em que os movimentos populares têm se fragmentado em lutas e reivindicações próprias, multiplicando os debates. Principalmente, analisar a sinergia entre a luta sindical num momento de crise do emprego e valorização do subemprego. Neste cenário, há o questionamento se o movimento sindical teria aoportunidade de agregar-se às diferentes lutas, que são de interesse comum da classe trabalhadora ativa, inativa e futura.Questiona-se como a aproximação dos sindicatos com os diferentes movimentos sociais pode somar em reivindicações e lutas de classes, revertendo positivamente para a construção da imagem do sindicalismo brasileiro, que vive momentos de desmobilização? Como a atual política neoliberal afeta todos os direitos num efeito em cascata?Seguindo uma análise contextualizada na literatura, principalmente autores envolvidos com a pesquisa das áreas sinérgicas a esta pesquisa, com foco no Brasil, e pontuada em leituras de notícias divulgadas ou repercutidas na web, dados referenciais oficiais do Governo Federal e vivência empírica enquanto profissional da comunicação sindical, esta autora pretende chamar a atenção para a relevância dos sindicatos e do papel da imprensa sindical na formação do diálogo, participação, inclusão e promoção social do trabalhador/indivíduo. A base deste estudo tem como ponto de partida a célebre frase e essência da ideologia de Marx e Engels: “Trabalhadores do mundo, uni-vos”. Num momento em que a sociedade brasileira vivencia mudanças importantes decorrentes da migração do capitalismo para a economia neoliberal, as ponderações levantadas neste estudo levam em conta as experiências de pesquisadores do universo social e laboral como Maria da Gloria Gohn e Teones França; a trajetória pela promoção da educação de trabalho de Paulo Freire e a reflexão espiritual do coreano naturalizado brasileiro, Jung MoSung.
A compreensão da ressignificação discursiva do conceito “desce redondo” nas campanhas publicitárias da Skol
Authors: Mendonça Lana Aquino Guedes de , Oliveira Jr. Eurípedes Fernandes de
Published: February 2021

Este estudo sugere que a comunicação atua como um processo de significados socialmente compartilhados no qual o discurso publicitário é transmissor de elementos que fazem parte do espaço social do público a que se destina a mensagem, portanto o escopo deste artigo relaciona-se à estratégia de como a marca Skol tem lidado com as constantes mudanças do consumidor, fruto do contemporâneo, e rompendo assim paradigmas de discursos que refletem comportamentos históricos, sociais e culturais. Apoiamo-nos em uma análise comparativa de conteúdo das peças publicitárias, da ressignificação do conceito “redondo”, de pesquisas bibliográficas, acervo, e da análise dos três últimos anos das publicações da COMPÓS (2016, 2017 e 2018) resultando portanto na avaliação de 570 publicações cujos artigos abordaram temas como feminismo, racismo e igualdade de gênero. Como contribuição espera-se identificar o quanto a marca skol captou, compreendeu e incorporou as mudanças no comportamento do consumidor e o quanto foi incorporado nesta nova prática discursiva da marca Skol.
Denúncia e alteridade: os quadrinhos de viagem de Guy Delisle
Authors: Passos Mateus Yuri
Published: February 2021

O foco de nossa atenção neste artigo é a obra de Guy Delisle, que se especializou em trabalhos de caráter autobiográfico e em certa medida denuncista, embora os mais recentes tenham ganhado uma dimensão mais favorável à humanização e alteridade. Como toda narrativa de viagem, as quatro narrativas que discutiremos brevemente aqui – Shenzhen, Pyongyang, Crônicas Birmanesas e Crônicas de Jerusalém – são, assim, narrativas da descoberta do outro, narrativas da experiência e do cotidiano. Enquanto conjunto, porém, elas constituem uma espécie de narrativa de formação em que acompanhamos o gradual amadurecimento do sujeito narrador, de suas visões de mundo e de sua relação com o Outro que se apresenta em suas vivências em terras estrangeiras.

Published: February 2021

O artigo busca exprimir, nas entrelinhas do estudo interdisciplinar da criminologia, os motivos que levam uma criança ou um adolescente a cometerem atos infracionais. Assim, através do método quantitativo e qualitativo, visa demonstrar o implícito prejulgamento da sociedade e Estado em razão das desigualdades sociais, em torno dos que já cometeram anteriormente condutas delituosas e aqueles que tragicamente ostentam esse título, sem a observância preliminar do caso concreto. Nesse mesmo viés, demonstrar o etiquetamento que há em determinados grupos, onde, em razão da imposição social, se permite condenações preexistentes pautadas em caráter discriminatório, violando, sobremaneira, princípios constitucionais. Abrange, ainda, quais são as atribuições da família e do Estado no quesito formação e desenvolvimento psicossocial da criança e do adolescente e até onde deve-se reconhecer a extensão de sua responsabilidade. Para tanto, observará a evolução nos direitos da infância e juventude, destacando quais são as medidas protetivas e socioeducativas e, se de fato o sistema carcerário (Fundação Casa) alcança
Da execução da dívida PROPTER REM: Execução de Título Extrajudicial de Crédito Condominial para a quitação de ônus por ele próprio gerado
Authors: Gomes Pamella Karoline , Batista Daniela Pozza
Published: February 2021

Trata-se de discussões acerca das cobranças de cotas condominiais, como essa dívida é gerada e como pode ser cobrada. Demonstra-se que a partir do Novo Código de Processo Civil, buscou-se tornar a cobrança mais célere em um aspecto geral, a fim de resguardar o Condomínio e os condôminos adimplentes. Ressalta-se que para tanto se faz necessário examinar pontos específicos, como: o tipo de débito em que a dívida condominial se enquadra no caso concreto, bem como, a ação adequada para o ingresso da cobrança e a respectiva execução dentro de parâmetros estabelecidos legalmente. Deste modo, é de suma importância que sejam verificados os requisitos basilares como: quem responde por essa dívida e seus encargos, de forma que ao buscar o direito de recebimento do crédito o condomínio credor não tenha prejuízos irreversíveis. Esse cuidado se dá mediante a divergência nos julgados desta matéria que acabam por trazer insegurança tanto para os credores quanto os possíveis devedores desse débito, questões essas carentes de uniformização. Assim, buscou-se entender o tipo de direito sobre o imóvel que faz parte de um condomínio, como se dá a cobrança das cotas condominiais e em caso extremo de levar o imóvel a leilão decorrente da dívida, como isto pode ou deve ser feito.
Análise da Produção Científica a partir da Redução Sociológica de Guerreiro Ramos
Authors: Silva Raphaela Reis Conceição Castro
Published: February 2021

Considerando que a ciência da administração se construiu a partir da influência norte-americana. É notório que tal influência persiste e ainda é fortemente percebida em nossos cursos de graduação e pós-graduação. Diante desse cenário, busca-se identificar a convergência entre a produção cientifica da Administração e o conceito de consciência crítica de Guerreiro Ramos. A intenção é examinar a produção da área da Administração por um outro enfoque, que privilegie o debate sobre a nossa sociedade e o bem-estar coletivo em um país com problemas expressivos e de uma desigualdade social e econômica abissal. Para tanto, foram analisados artigos científicos produzidos pelos grupos de pesquisa da área da Administração da UFMG, de acordo com primeira lei da redução sociológica de Ramos – a Lei do Comprometimento. Tal lei aponta para a necessidade de o cientista social adotar sistematicamente uma posição de engajamento ou de compromisso consciente com o seu contexto. Dentre os 303 trabalhos analisados, dois destes podem ser aplicados na Lei do Comprometimento o que representa um número muito baixo perto do tamanho da amostra analisada. Os resultados deste trabalho apontam para a necessidade de discutir e refletir mais aprofundamento sobre o papel da universidade, grupos de pesquisa e produção científica no tocante ao desenvolvimento e consciência crítica.

Abstract Objective: To evaluate computed tomography (CT) findings in 23 patients with bronchial atresia. Materials and Methods: The CT images were reviewed by two radiologists who reached decisions by consensus. We included only patients who presented with abnormalities on CT and in whom the diagnosis had been confirmed by pathological examination of the surgical specimen (if the lesion was resected). The CT scans were assessed in order to identify the main findings and to map the distribution of the lesions (i.e., to determine whether the pulmonary involvement was unilateral or bilateral). Results: The main CT finding was the combination of bronchocele and hyperinflation of the distal lung. That combination was observed in all of the patients. The lesions were unilateral in all 23 cases, being seen predominantly in the left upper lobe, followed by the right lower lobe, right upper lobe, middle lobe, and left lower lobe. Conclusion: The diagnosis of bronchial atresia can be reliably made on the basis of a finding of bronchocele accompanied by hyperinflation of the adjacent lung parenchyma.

Published: February 2021

Abstract Objective: To compare ultrasound images of the kidney obtained, randomly or in a controlled manner (standardizing the physical aspects of the ultrasound system), by various professionals and with different devices. Materials and Methods: We evaluated a total of 919 images of kidneys, obtained by five professionals using two types of ultrasound systems, in 24 patients. The images were categorized into four types, by how they were acquired and processed. We compared the gray-scale median and different gray-scale ranges representative of virtual histological tissues. Results: There were statistically significant differences among the five professionals, regardless of the type of ultrasound system employed, in terms of the gray-scale medians for the images obtained (p < 2.2e-16). Analyzing the four categories of images-a totally random image (without any standardization); a standardized image (with fixed values for gain, time gain control, and dynamic range); a normalized version of the random image; and a normalized version of the standardized image-we determined that the random image, even after normalization, differed quite significantly among the professionals (p = 0.006098). The analysis of the normalized version of the standardized image did not differ significantly among the professionals (p = 0.7319). Conclusion: Our findings indicate that a gray-scale analysis of ultrasound images of the kidney performs better when the image acquisition process is standardized and the images undergo a process of normalization.

Abstract Objective: To define diagnostic criteria for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) on computed tomography (CT); to study the correlation between CT and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing for infection with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2; and to determine whether the extent of parenchymal involvement and the need for mechanical ventilation are associated with the CT findings and clinical characteristics of patients with COVID-19. Materials and Methods: This was a retrospective study of 155 patients with COVID-19 treated between March and May 2020. We attempted to determine whether the CT findings correlated with age and clinical variables, as well as whether the need for mechanical ventilation correlated with the extent of the pulmonary involvement. Results: On average, the patients with COVID-19 were older than were those without (mean age, 54.8 years vs. 45.5 years; p = 0.031). The most common CT finding (seen in 88.6%) was ground-glass opacity, which correlated significantly with a diagnosis of COVID-19 (p = 0.0001). The CT findings that correlated most strongly with the need for mechanical ventilation were parenchymal bands (p = 0.013), bronchial ectasia (p = 0.046), and peribronchovascular consolidations (p = 0.012). The presence of one or more comorbidities correlated significantly with more extensive parenchymal involvement (p = 0.023). For the diagnosis of COVID-19, CT had a sensitivity of 84.3%, a specificity of 36.7%, and an accuracy of 73.5% (p = 0.012 vs. PCR). Conclusion: The patterns of CT findings are useful for the diagnosis of COVID-19 and the evaluation of disease severity criteria. The presence of any comorbidity is associated with greater severity of COVID-19.

Published: February 2021

Resumo O artigo analisa dimensões sociológicas que intervêm no processo decisório para o aborto a partir de uma pesquisa antropológica sobre trajetórias afetivo-sexual, contraceptiva e reprodutiva de mulheres e homens, de diferentes classes sociais e gerações, no Rio de Janeiro, Brasil. Neste texto, explora-se as narrativas presentes em 15 entrevistas em profundidade com homens de 40-49 anos sobre a gravidez e o aborto voluntário das parceiras. Salientamos dois argumentos: 1) a centralidade do gênero e da inserção de classe na determinação dos comportamentos masculinos em relação ao aborto; 2) a externalidade masculina ao evento como traço estruturante de gênero, em distintas gerações. Produzir inflexões analíticas para compreensão dos modos relacionais que engendram decisões reprodutivas no âmbito da conjugalidade ou fora dela lança luz sobre as muitas dificuldades que cercam o abortamento em geral e o papel masculino nesse tensionado cenário.
Judicialização do sofrimento negro. Maternidade negra e fluxo do Sistema de Justiça Criminal no Rio de Janeiro
Authors: Rocha Luciane O.
Published: February 2021

Resumo Este artigo é baseado em etnografia realizada entre os anos de 2015 e 2017 no Núcleo de Direitos Humanos da Defensoria Pública do Rio de Janeiro (NUDEDH), mais especificamente no programa de Proteção às Vítimas de Violência Praticada por Agentes Estatais ou Particulares. No contexto de antinegritude vigente no Rio de Janeiro, esta linha de atuação do NUDEDH se tornou uma ferramenta utilizada por mães de vítimas de violência policial em favelas e periferias, que passam a atuar como assistentes de acusação nos processos penais dos assassinatos de seus filhos e filhas. Este artigo, ao mobilizar literatura sobre a Teoria Crítica da Raça e Estudos Negros, tem por objetivo examinar os usos do sofrimento negro e da maternidade negra para a movimentação do Fluxo do Sistema de Justiça Criminal.
A força da ausência. A falta dos homens e do “Estado” na vida de mulheres moradoras de favela
Authors: Fernandes Camila
Published: February 2021

Resumo Com base no trabalho de campo realizado em um complexo de favelas do Rio de Janeiro, analiso as condições de precariedade produzidas por ausências ativas masculinas, quer seja exercida pelas administrações de Estado ou por ausências masculinas na vida de mães e mulheres pobres. A partir das discussões antropológicas sobre gênero e Estado, o campo destas ausências é analisado enquanto um conjunto de forças sistemáticas e cotidianas. Essas forças se revelam de diferentes formas: seja por não receber “ajuda nenhuma do pai da criança”, por não conseguir “uma vaga na creche”, por “ter que se virar” para cuidar dos filhos sozinha e por ter que lidar com a política de invasões, tiroteios e extermínio exercida nos territórios de favelas. A ausência ativa de Estado também se materializa na ação das casas destinadas a “tomar conta” de crianças e das creches públicas, espaços voltados ao atendimento das famílias pobres. Na tentativa de refletir sobre este campo múltiplo de “faltas”, procuro relacionar de que modo estas ausências estão associadas a dinâmicas de “violência” que incidem sobre comportamentos femininos apontados como “nervosos”, “agressivos” ou “negligentes”.
Nem mãezinha, nem mãezona. Mães, familiares e ativismo nos arredores da prisão
Authors: Lago Natália Bouças do
Published: February 2021

Resumo O artigo aborda as ambiguidades dos lugares ocupados pelas mães e familiares a partir de limites e possibilidades de agenciamento no ativismo em torno das prisões. Discuto a atuação de mães em uma associação de familiares de presos chamada Amparar, com sede em São Paulo, seguindo os trajetos de Railda Alves, uma de suas fundadoras. A Amparar existe desde 2004 e desenvolve suas atividades em articulação com outras organizações que atuam no campo dos Direitos Humanos. O reconhecimento como mãe de preso e a enunciação tanto da potência do vínculo materno quanto do sofrimento dele decorrente fazem parte das negociações que envolvem o diálogo e o trabalho em rede com outras organizações, ativistas e instituições estatais. A figura da mãe permite a participação em determinadas atividades e a construção de trajetórias ativistas, mas opera também como limitadora em contextos que envolvem, sobretudo, as negociações com o Estado.

Abstract Introduction: Chronic kidney disease - mineral and bone disorders (CKD-MBD) are common in dialysis patients. Definition of targets for calcium (Ca), phosphorus (P), parathormone (iPTH), and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and their treatment recommendations, are provided by international guidelines. There are few studies analyzing CKD-MBD in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients and the impact of guidelines on mineral metabolism control. The aim of our study was to describe the prevalence of biomarkers for CKD-MBD in a large cohort of PD patients in Brazil. Methods: Data from the nation-wide prospective observational cohort BRAZPD II was used. Incident patients were followed between December 2004 and January 2011. According to KDOQI recommendations, reference ranges for total Ca were 8.4 to 9.5 mg/dL, for P, 3.5 to 5.5 mg/dL, for iPTH, 150-300 pg/mL, and for ALP, 120 U/L. Results: Mean age was 59.8 ± 16 years, 48% were male, and 43% had diabetes. In the beginning, Ca was 8.9 ± 0.9 mg/dL, and 48.3% were on the KODQI target. After 1 year, Ca increased to 9.1 ± 0.9 mg/dL and 50.4% were in the KDOQI preferred range. P at baseline was 5.2 ± 1.6 mg/dL, with 52.8% on target, declining to 4.9 ± 1.5 mg/dL after one year, when 54.7% were on target. Median iPTH at baseline was 238 (P25% 110 - P75% 426 pg/mL) and it remained stable throughout the first year; patients within target ranged from 26 to 28.5%. At the end of the study, 80% was in 3.5 meq/L Ca dialysate concentration, 66.9% of patients was taking any phosphate binder, and 25% was taking activated vitamin D. Conclusions: We observed a significant prevalence of biochemical disorders related to CKD-MBD in this dialysis population.
Coupling analysis method of bioelectric signals based on molecular communication
Authors: Liu Peng , Zhang Guoyi , Shu Fang
Published: February 2021

Given the problem that detailed information is inevitably lost in the process of traditional bioelectrical signal coupling analysis and the results are seriously affected, a bioelectrical signal-coupling analysis method based on molecular communication is proposed. The channel of molecular communication is classified, the transmission mode is analyzed, the design of molecular communication is realized, the biological electrical signal is de-drifted, the mathematical and physical model of the biological electrical signal is established and the coupling analysis of the biological electrical signal is realized. The experimental results show that the designed method has a more significant coupling effect and can better track the dynamic changes in the signal. It can be seen that the proposed method is better than the traditional method.

Este libro expone el efecto de la implementación de un programa de intervención dirigida a población infantil, que presenta un conjunto de dificultades comportamentales, y que pertenecen a sectores sociales vulnerables de la ciudad de Neiva. La obra se fundamenta en el contexto de las investigaciones realizadas a nivel mundial, latinoamericano y nacional sobre programas de evaluación e intervención enfocados en disminuir déficits comportamentales, que permitan una mejor adaptación de los niños a los diferentes ámbitos de su vida cotidiana. En este sentido, uno de los constructos más estudiados en relación con las dificultades del comportamiento es la cognición social, principalmente el dominio de la Teoría de la Mente (ToM) que, explica desde el punto de vista cognitivo, las deficiencias emocionales y comunicativas en situaciones sociales y las dificultades manifiestas en población con diagnóstico de trastornos asociados a sintomatología comportamental, como el trastorno disocial de la conducta (TDC) y el trastorno por déficit de atención e hiperactividad (TDAH). El libro comienza con la presentación del desarrollo histórico y la conceptualización de los trastornos en cuestión; posteriormente, se describen las características familiares, clínicas, adaptativas; así como, el funcionamiento ejecutivo y de la cognición social en niños y niñas participantes del programa de intervención. Finalmente, se presentan los resultados y contribuciones del estudio al conocimiento y a la práctica en el área.

Introduction: The examination of dry eyes should be an integral part of the assessment of diabetic eye disease. So, this study is undertaken to study the prevalence of dry eye syndrome in type II diabetes mellitus. Materials and Methods: This hospital based Cross-sectional descriptive study conducted with 100 patients with type II diabetes and 100 matched controls patients who were attending the Ophthalmology Department in Viswabharthi medical college Kurnool by Simple random sampling method. The data collected and analyzed using SPSS 17.0 version software for analysis. Results: The mean age of diabetics with dry eye was 56.49±9.32 years. As the age increased, the occurrence of dry eye also increased significantly. 30-40yrs age group are having 2 (33.33%) patients, 41-50 yrs age group are having 16 (59.26%) patients, 51-60 yrs age group are having 19 (57.58%) and above 60 years age group are having 20 (58.83%) patients are having dry eye, out of this 64.7% also had retinopathy of some degree. With increasing age, the number of patients with diabetic retinopathy also increased significantly. Conclusion: The dry eye is a significant factor responsible for ocular surface disease in diabetics, these complications high in advanced diabetic retinopathy. High prevalence could be attributed to reduced tear secretion in DM patients caused by autonomic dysfunction in these patients. Hence our study insists that clinical evaluation of dry eye should be an integral part of ocular examination in diabetic patients. KEY WORDS: Dry eye, ocular surface disease index, Retinopathy, Schirmer, Tearfilm breakup time.

Authors:   Institute of Oriental Studies, Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Uzbekistan., Muhammadaminov Saidakbar
Published: February 2021

This article discusses the impact of Indian fatwas on Central Asia. We reveal this influence in two ways. The first is based on the analysis of copies of manuscripts kept in the manuscript collection of the Institute of Oriental Studies, Uzbekistan Academy of Sciences. The study is based on codicological data, i.e. seals, various notes of personal owners of the manuscript, as well as dates and place of correspondence, the names of the scribe, and a brief account of the history of the Indian fatwa lists. The second one is through Asian manuals (al- Masa'il al-Fikhiya, Jung), preserved in the Institute of Oriental Studies, Uzbekistan Academy of Sciences, where Qadiyah used various fatwas, including Indian ones, to make decisions, and to determine the degree of influence by determining the number of quoted decisions in Central Asian fatwas collections.

Just like most mountainous regions of the world, the Kyrgyz Republic is endemic for iodine deficiency in soil, water and food.The deficiency of iodine in nature causes the development of a number of iodine deficient disorders in the population of the republic. The use of iodine-treated table salt is the most universal method for iodine deficiency preventive treatment. The purpose of this study was to study iodine deficiency in children and a sanitary audit of the iodine content in the diet of comprehensive school students to achieve the goals study the prevalence of iodine deficiency diseases (IDD) among schoolchildren in the environs of the Chui region of the Kyrgyz Republic, as well as laboratory tests of salt for containing potassium iodate.The iodine content in the studied diets was only 19.1% of the daily equirement.According to the results of laboratory analysis, the iodine content in 65% of samples of domestically produced salt was below normal. The necessity for the further improvement of the technological process for iodine- enrichment of salt and the development of an internal quality control system in the country's salt iodization plants was noted.

Published: February 2021

The intensity and prevalence of dental caries in 630 school age children of the Chui region of the Kyrgyz Republic was studied. The prevalence of caries among school age children was 89%. According to experts, this indicator is estimated as a high incidence of caries. Cluster analysis revealed a high risk of caries of children from 7 to 10 years old, which should be used for prophylactic medical examination of children, when planning preventive and therapeutic measures. It is concluded that it is necessary to develop and implement a comprehensive program for the prevention of major dental diseases in children in this region.
Politicians Avoid Tax Increases Around Elections

We use new annual data on gasoline taxes and corporate income taxes from U.S. states to analyze whether politicians avoid tax increases in election years. These data contain 3 useful attributes: (1) when state politicians enact tax laws, (2) when state politicians implement tax laws on consumers and firms, and (3) the size of tax changes. Using a pre-analysis research plan that includes regressions of tax rate changes and tax enactment years on time-to-gubernatorial election year indicators, we find that elections decrease the probability of politicians enacting increases in taxes and reduce the size of implemented tax changes relative to non-election years. We find some evidence that politicians are most likely to enact tax increases right after an election. These election effects are stronger for gasoline taxes than for corporate income taxes and depend on no other political, demographic, or macroeconomic conditions. Supplemental analysis supports political salience over legislative effort in generating this difference in electoral effects.
La recherche communautaire en psychologie sociale

Published: January 2021

La démarche communautaire réside dans l'idée de ne pas seulement faire "pou" les personnes, mais bien de faire"pour", "par" et"ave" la communauté concernée. Une fois ce contexte en place, la recherche dite communautaire va s'orienter vers une meilleure intégration des communautés concernées, au travers une recherche d'outils de déploiement pertinents et adaptés. Cette "façon de faire", qui renvoie à des postures épistémologiques et méthodologiques précises, est avant tout une démarche de collaboration, signifiant que les chercheur·es académiques et les acteur·rices communautaires font "ensemble", dans une recherche guidée par les besoins des groupes concernés et visant la transformation sociale. Cette recherche répond à une démarche ascendante et sur cette base, elle mobilise le savoir profane et les expériences individuelles et collectives. De fait, la recherche communautaire promeut - comme moyen et fin - l'_empowerment_ et l'autonomie des individus et des groupes impliqués grâce à une transformation sociale reposant notamment sur la reconnaissance des droits, besoins et expressions des minorités.
3'-DGE High Throughput RNA Library Preparation v1

This protocol is for the high-throughput transcriptome screening method called, 3’ Digital Gene Expression (3’-DGE). In this method RNA is purified from cell lysate and cDNA is generated by oligo dT priming, during which unique molecular identifiers (UMIs) are incorporated and strand-specificity is preserved. The 3’-DGE protocol has been optimized for 384 well plate experiments with a few thousand cells per well. The 3’-DGE method and a similar method known as DRUG-seq have been shown to be able to recapitulate 85% of the transcriptome you can obtain with standard mRNA-seq. In our experience using 3’-DGE we sequence each well at a low depth, aiming for ~1 million reads per sample which allows us to asses 40-80% of the transcriptome depending on the cell type. It is possible to sequence these samples to a greater depth if warranted. It is important to keep in mind that in 3’-DGE, and most low-input methods, only the 3’ poly-A end of the transcript is preserved. Therefore, this technique cannot be used if it is important to capture splice-isoforms or transcripts that do not have a poly-A tail. This is a modification of the SCRB-seq protocol originally published here: https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/003236v1; Recognition also goes to the Enard group and their modifications to SCRB-seq found here: https://www.protocols.io/view/mcscrb-seq-protocol-p9kdr4w The home-brew SPRI beads used in this study are made with this protocol: dx.doi.org/10.17504/protocols.io.bkppkvmn
