Published: March 2023

ABSTRACT Introduction: Class II division 1 malocclusion treatment with functional devices offers acceptable results. These devices can be removable or fixed, and the essential difference between them is the need for compliance. It is clinically important to investigate if there are differences in the treatment effects of these devices that present different characteristics. Objective: This retrospective longitudinal study compared the treatment effects of Class II correction with the MARA appliance, Activator-Headgear (AcHg) combination, both followed by multibracket fixed appliances, and an untreated control group. Material and Methods: Each experimental group was composed of 18 patients, with a baseline mean age of 11.70 and 10.88 years, treated for 3.60 and 3.17 years. The control group consisted of 20 subjects with baseline mean age of 11.07 years. The groups were evaluated before (T1) and after (T2) treatment. Lateral radiographs were used to evaluate the treatment changes with treatment (T2-T1), compared to the control group. Intergroup comparisons were performed using repeated-measures analysis of variance (ANOVA), followed by Tukey’s test. Results: The AcHg group showed significantly greater maxillary growth restriction than the MARA, while the mandibular changes were due to natural growth. Both devices promoted significantly greater maxillary incisors retrusion, mandibular incisors labial inclination, and improvement of overjet and molar relationships, compared to the control. Conclusions: Both functional devices followed by multibracket appliances were effective to correct Class II malocclusion. Nonetheless, the AcHg combination presents superior skeletal effects, due to significantly greater maxillary growth restriction compared to the MARA appliance. Moreover, the appliances presented similar dentoalveolar effects.

Published: March 2023

ABSTRACT Introduction: Miniscrew or microimplant-assisted rapid palatal expansion (MARPE) devices are used to achieve a skeletal expansion of the palate and to increase the arch perimeter. Objective: To describe the treatment of a 23-year-old woman with an Angle Class II, division 1 malocclusion with constricted maxillary and mandibular arches. Case report: The patient’s main complaint was mandibular anterior crowding. The treatment plan included expansion of the mandibular arch concurrent with maxillary expansion, using a MARPE appliance in combination with a full-fixed appliance to align and level the crowded mandibular teeth, along with miniscrews as anchorage for the maxillary teeth and for distalization of the molars and premolars. A successful non-extraction orthodontic treatment was accomplished after 28 months, and the occlusion and teeth alignment, as well as facial goals, were resolved in a clinically satisfactory manner. Conclusion: The treatment objectives were met, and the outcome of the expansion of the maxillary arch with a MARPE appliance as an adjunct to a fixed appliance was considered a success. An esthetic, functional, and stable result after a 1-year follow-up was achieved and was satisfactory to the patient.
Estado y promotores del neoliberalismo urbano: los barrios privados en Uruguay
Authors: Sánchez Marcelo Pérez , Aguiar Sebastián
Published: March 2023

Resumen Los barrios privados son una de las expresiones más definidas del neoliberalismo urbano en América Latina. Mediante entrevistas, análisis documental y fuentes secundarias se confecciona un catálogo de los barrios privados de Uruguay y de sus promotores para la mayoría de los casos. La promoción de barrios privados deja en claro el papel de capitales y empresarios internacionales y la tracción del turismo. La gestión estatal converge progresivamente con estrategias de los promotores a través de excepciones y beneficios fiscales, concedidas mayormente por gobiernos locales, con riesgos ambientales y renunciando a plusvalía urbana. El caso uruguayo, relativamente tardío y lento, da cuenta en status nascendi de algunos mecanismos mediante los cuales sucede el neoliberalismo urbano en la región.
Cidades inteligentes no Brasil:conexões entre poder corporativo,direitos e engajamento cívico
Authors: Reia Jess , Cruz Luã
Published: March 2023

Resumo A agenda de cidades inteligentes vem se consolidando no Brasil a partir de relações de poder assimétricas entre atores estatais e não estatais, sendo atravessada por conflitos de interesses entre empresas, governos e comunidades em nível transnacional, regional e local. Da Nova Agenda Urbana assinada em Quito, em 2016, aos novos “planos diretores” encabeçados por consultorias privadas nos municípios brasileiros, abordagens corporativas de inteligência no espaço urbano têm salientado a racionalidade neoliberal por trás do conceito e seus desdobramentos. Aqui, apresenta-se um olhar crítico dessa agenda desde o Sul Global, articulando o alcance do poder corporativo, a garantia de direitos (à cidade e digitais) e a resistência exercida a partir de colaborações locais e internacionais.

Published: March 2023

Resumo Desde 2020, o mundo vive uma crise sanitária atingindo com maior gravidade segmentos da população mais vulneráveis em termos socioeconômicos. Nesse contexto, este artigo defende a necessidade de um novo modelo civilizacional alternativo ao neoliberalismo atual, baseado no conceito dos comuns. Coloca-se a hipótese que conceitua as tecnologias digitais, a cidade e seus serviços públicos, a mobilidade em especial, enquanto instituições dos comuns, podendo contribuir para a construção de outro modelo civilizacional relativo a cidades sustentáveis, resilientes e inclusivas. Abordagens diversas sobre comuns urbanos apontam evidências que comprovam essa hipótese. Conclui-se com diretrizes para uma agenda baseada nos comuns urbanos que forneçam, às lideranças políticas, elementos para construir um novo modelo de gestão participativa da mobilidade nas cidades.

REFLEXÕES SOBRE O SENTIDO DE SUSTENTABILIDADE EM ORGANIZAÇÕES
Authors: Zanoni Beatriz Lima , Oliveira Samir Adamoglu de
Published: March 2023

RESUMO Empreendemos uma reflexão institucionalista sobre a construção do(s) sentido(s) de sustentabilidade enquanto fator legitimador das organizações, argumentando que a construção polissêmica do conceito é linguisticamente operada intencionando legitimação em campos organizacionais heterogêneos. Aplicamos o modelo semiótico do processo de institucionalização ao conceito de sustentabilidade, evidenciando sua construção linguístico-social de duas formas – denotacional e conotacional –, discutindo a saída da natureza objetiva do conceito para sua natureza mítico-racional na qual a dissociação do fazer, dizer e significar transmuta seu conteúdo semântico. A sustentabilidade é, então, entendida como mais uma pressão institucional à qual as organizações precisam responder, e estas geralmente o fazem de maneira estratégica, mediante aceitação, adaptação ou contestação. Assim, ainda que determinados atores busquem institucionalizar a sustentabilidade denotacionalmente, seu sentido oscila conotacionalmente conforme é difundido, seja por conveniência ou falta de clareza sobre como operacionalizá-lo nas organizações.
REFLECTIONS ON SUSTAINABILITY’S MEANING IN ORGANIZATIONS
Authors: Zanoni Beatriz Lima , Oliveira Samir Adamoglu de
Published: March 2023

ABSTRACT Adopting an institutionalist perspective on the construction of the meaning(s) of sustainability for organizations, we argue that this polysemic concept is linguistically employed in diverse fields with the intent to provide legitimacy. We apply the semiotic model of the institutionalization process to the concept of sustainability, highlighting its linguistic-social construction in two ways: as denotation and connotation. We then discuss the departure from the objective nature of the concept to its mythical-rational nature in which the separation of doing, saying, and meaning transmute its semantic content. Sustainability is, then, understood as another institutional pressure to which organizations need to respond, and they usually do so strategically through acceptance, adaptation, or contestation. Thus, even if certain actors aim to institutionalize sustainability as a denotation, its connotation fluctuates due to convenience or lack of clarity on how to operationalize it in organizations.
RELATO DE SUSTENTABILIDADE NA CADEIA DE SUPRIMENTOS NO SUL GLOBAL: O PAPEL DO FINANCIAMENTO
Authors: Lins Rodrigo Freire , Erthal Alice , Marques Leonardo
Published: March 2023

RESUMO Empresas lidam com a crescente pressão de stakeholders diversos para divulgar não apenas suas práticas sustentáveis, mas também a sustentabilidade da sua cadeia de suprimentos (SCS). No entanto, a forma pela qual as pressões de stakeholders são moldadas no Sul Global – caracterizado por vazios institucionais (contratação, terceirização e frágil aplicação da legislação) – é um fenômeno que tem recebido menos atenção da literatura. O estudo mapeia quais pressões de stakeholders estão associadas à divulgação de relatórios de SCS analisando um painel de dados não balanceado de 220 relatórios de sustentabilidade corporativa de 2016 a 2018 por empresas brasileiras de capital aberto. Os resultados mostram que acionistas e credores orientados para o longo prazo, o porte da empresa e a adoção da estrutura do GRI estão associados a níveis mais altos de divulgação de relatórios de SCS, enquanto as pressões públicas e regulatórias não estão associadas da mesma forma, o que embasa a lógica de vazios institucionais. Na ausência de pressões regulatórias, fontes de financiamento de longo prazo e acesso a recursos parecem emergir em associação à divulgação de relatórios de SCS.
PROPOSIÇÃO DE UM MODELO DE ANÁLISE PARA TOMADA DE DECISÃO COCRIADA
Authors: Amorim Jason , Ventura Andréa
Published: March 2023

A Tomada de Decisão Cocriada (TDCC) é uma nova teoria, resultante da integração teórica da Cocriação de Valor e da Teoria dos Stakeholders com a Tomada de Decisão Compartilhada. Estuda as relações do paciente com os seus stakeholders, não restritas aos espaços clínicos, e a influência destas relações nas tomadas de decisões no cuidado da saúde ao longo da vida. O objetivo deste estudo foi propor um modelo de análise para tomada de decisão de maneira cocriada entre um paciente e seus stakeholders. Para tal, foi feita uma revisão narrativa da literatura, onde se definiu uma estrutura conceitual teórica, aprofundando os conceitos e pressupostos da TDCC. Em seguida, através de uma análise de conteúdo indutiva, qualitativa e quantitativa, foram delineadas duas categorias de contexto, cinco categorias de análise e trinta unidades de registro, e proposto um modelo de análise para a TDCC, tendo também como base três modelos antecedentes de análise de stakeholders e de itinerários terapêuticos. O modelo proposto é distribuído em quatro fases, com uma perspectiva processual da análise das relações do paciente com seus stakeholders. Espera-se que este modelo possa subsidiar análises das relações de pacientes e seus stakeholders em relacionamentos que perpassam os consultórios clínicos e se estendem a todos os ambientes com o foco na cocriação de decisões sobre diagnóstico e tratamento que melhor reflitam as condições de saúde, bem estar e prioridades específicas para cada paciente.
The pupil near response is short lasting and intact in virtual reality head mounted displays
Authors: Pielage Hidde , Zekveld Adriana A. , Van de Ven Sjors , Kramer Sophia E. , Naber Marnix
Published: March 2023

The pupil of the eye constricts when moving focus from an object further away to an object closer by. This is called the pupil near response, which typically occurs together with accommodation and vergence responses. When immersed in virtual reality mediated through a head-mounted display, this triad is disrupted by the vergence-accommodation conflict. However, it is not yet clear if the disruption also affects the pupil near response. Two experiments were performed to assess this. The first experiment had participants follow a target that first appeared at a far position and then moved to either a near position (far-to-near; FN) or to another far position (far-to-far; FF). The second experiment had participants follow a target that jumped between five positions, which was repeated at several distances. Experiment 1 showed a greater pupil constriction amplitude for FN trials, compared to FF trials, suggesting that the pupil near response is intact in head-mounted display mediated virtual reality. Experiment 2 did not find that average pupil dilation differed when fixating targets at different distances, suggesting that the pupil near response is transient and does not result in sustained pupil size changes.
Enseigner le français dans le secondaire à Djibouti
Authors: SAMATAR Abdallah Doualeh
Published: March 2023

La réforme de l’enseignement secondaire, entreprise au début des années 2010 à Djibouti, a fait le choix de positionner l’enseignement du français dans le champ du français langue seconde et se propose comme objectif la prise en compte des pratiques linguistiques plurielles des élèves. Parmi les grandes options didactiques du FLS au lycée, la question de la norme et de l’acceptabilité du français djiboutien est explicitement posée à travers curricula et manuels scolaires. Nous nous demanderons dans le cadre de cette contribution quelle place revient effectivement à la variation linguistique dans un environnement où la norme exogène est restée jusque-là hégémonique. Si cette ouverture à la norme locale du français est à saluer incontestablement, nous verrons qu’elle reste à notre sens timide et doit surtout surmonter au préalable quelques obstacles.
Standard-S: PCR barcoding of SARS-CoV-2 S gen amplicons for Nanopore sequencing v1
Authors: Salazar Cecilia
Published: March 2023

Most of the defining mutations of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) variants of concern (VOCs) have been identified in the S gene sequence. For this reason, S-based lineage assignment is possible using the current nomenclature system. We have developed a protocol for overlapping amplification of the S gene sequence using previously reported primer sequences (V3 primers of ARTIC Network) in combination with a PCR barcoding approach of the samples for Nanopore sequencing plataforms. This protocol allows the screening of multiple COVID-19 positive samples for lineage/clade assignment and mutational surveillance of the spike gene. Additionally, this protocol can be is easily adapted for dual barcoding using the "Ligation sequencing amplicons - dual barcoding (SQK-LSK109 with EXP-NBD104, EXP-NBD114, and EXP-PBC096)" Nanopore protocol to upscale the number of samples per run.
Covid-19 Research in Alternative News Media: Evidencing and Counterevidencing Practices
Authors: Schug Markus , Bilandzic Helena , Kinnebrock Susanne
Published: March 2023

The Covid-19 pandemic has been accompanied by an excess of accurate and inaccurate information (infodemic) that has prevented people from finding reliable guidance in decision-making. Non-professional but popular science communicators—some with a political agenda—supply the public with scientific knowledge regarding Covid-19. This kind of communication represents a worrisome force in societal discourses on science-related political issues. This article explores online content (N = 108 articles) of two popular German “alternative news” media (NachDenkSeiten and PI News) that present and evaluate biomedical research concerning Covid-19. Using thematic analysis, we investigated how scientific evidence was presented and questioned. Regarding the theoretical background, we drew on the concept of “evidencing practices” and ideas from argumentation theory. More specifically, we studied the use of the following three evidencing and counterevidencing practices: references to Data/Methods, references to Experts/Authorities, and Narratives. The results indicate that the studied alternative news media generally purport to report on science using the same argumentation mechanisms as those employed in science journalism in legacy media. However, a deeper analysis reveals that argumentation directions mostly follow preexisting ideologies and political agendas against Covid-19 policies, which leads to science coverage that contradicts common epistemic authorities and evidence. Finally, we discuss the possible implications of our findings for audience views and consider strategies for countering the rejection of scientific evidence.

Published: March 2023

With the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic and its negative effect on economic activity, a decrease in remittances was expected. However, on the contrary, remittances have increased in countries like Mexico. Using a fixed-effect model with information at the state level, this study finds evidence that the increase in COVID-19 cases was associated with a higher level of remittances to Mexican states, allowing some degree of insurance against the pandemic. However, remittances did not respond to the decrease in employment caused by the pandemic in local economies. A portion of the observed increases in remittances during the pandemic can be explained by factors at the national level.
Ghrelin levels in different brain regions in Danio rerio exposured to stress
Authors: Blazhenko Alexandra A. , Khokhlov Platon P. , Lebedev Andrei A. , Bychkov Eugenii R. , Kazakov Sergei V. , Shabanov Petr D.
Published: March 2023

BACKGROUND: Literature data indicated that ghrelin may be a stress neuropeptide in some animals, including Danio rerio.
AIM: The aim of the study was to measure the levels of ghrelin in Danio rerio brain (forebrain, midbrain, and hindbrain) after predator exposure (predator stress test) and administration of ghrelin and oxytocin antagonists to assess the role of ghrelin in stress response.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study used 68 Danio rerio, one predator of Cichlasoma nicaraguensis. Ghrelin levels were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The following pharmacological agents were used: 1) ghrelin antagonist hexapeptide [D-Lys3]-GHRP-6 (Tocris, UK); 2) recombinant peptide analog of ghrelin agrelax with a molecular weight of 3.5 kDa, developed at the IEM (both compounds in equal dosages of 0.333 mg/L); corticoliberin (Tocris) at a dosage of 0.4 mg/L; and oxytocin (Gedeon Richter, Hungary) at a dosage of 3.8 L (0.005 IU/L) per 50 mL of aquarium water (0.019 IU/L).
RESULTS: In the control group, ghrelin level was determined only in the hindbrain, and ghrelin levels in the forebrain and midbrain were 4 pg/mg of total protein. Contact with a predator led to a significant increase in ghrelin levels in the forebrain and midbrain, but not in the hindbrain. Thus, in fish forebrain, ghrelin levels increased to 966 12 pg/mg of protein, which is almost a 250-fold increase in the indicator compared with the level in intact animals. In the presence of agrelax, [D-Lys3]-GHRP-6, and oxytocin, ghrelin levels in the forebrain and midbrain of stressed fish decreased approximately equally to 88 3, 97 1, and 115 1 pg/mg protein, respectively.
CONCLUSION: Thus, stress exposure (contact with a predator) significantly increases ghrelin levels in the forebrain and midbrain but decreases in the hindbrain. Stress-protective peptides (oxytocin, [D-Lys3]-GHRP-6, and agrelax) decreased ghrelin levels in the forebrain and midbrain, and to a lesser extent, in the hindbrain when exposed to stress.

Политико-цивилизационные альтернативы в здравоохранении и не только
Authors: Мазус Алексей , Кожокин Евгений
Published: March 2023

Становление российской политологии десятилетиями проходило под влиянием казавшегося незыблемым авторитета американских политологических школ. События последних лет показали, что ей предстоит путь самостоятельного восхождения через обобщение эмпирического материала, накопленного другими социальными науками, в том числе социологией. Некоторые разделы социологии долгое время оставались за пределами интересов политической науки: политологам казалось, что они охватывают сферы, далекие от политики. К таким областям относится социология здравоохранения. Но в периоды политических кризисов, когда глобальные эпидемиологические угрозы стали объектом политизации, политика вторглась в, казалось бы, далекие от нее сферы. Так, Влад Кравцов, автор вышедшей в 2022 г. в издательстве Palgrave MаcMillan монографии “Автократия и управление здравоохранением в России”, умело встраивает свой труд в концептуальную конструкцию американских коллег, поставивших перед собой цель доказать несостоятельность российской государственности в ее нынешнем виде. Особое внимание Кравцов уделяет в своей книге вопросам борьбы и профилактики эпидемией ВИЧ/СПИДа. Он рассматривает сферу противодействия эпидемии, которая за время своего распространения унесла, по оценке UNAIDS, жизни более 40 млн человек. Кравцов утверждает, что российское здравоохранение с его консервативными ориентирами на традиции и игнорированием международных подходов не справляется с катастрофической по своим масштабам эпидемией ВИЧ/СПИДа. Отмечая подчас реальные недостатки российской системы управления, автор демонстрирует заинтересованность не столько в обсуждении путей их устранения, сколько в продвижении идеи полного демонтажа этой системы, что представляет собой несомненный повод внимательно рассмотреть политические аспекты и возможные последствия такого рода политических стратегий.
Randevu Tecavüzü, Tecavüz Mitleri ve Toplumsal Cinsiyet Algısı Üzerine Bir Derleme
Authors: Kolburan Şahide Güliz
Published: March 2023

Date rape is a term that describes sexual assault occurring when the rapist and the victim are in a personal or social relationship. Within this concept, the fact that the perpetrator and the victim have met before or have an ongoing relationship takes the crime of sexual assault out of its context and turns it into discourses aimed at blaming the victim. Such discourses, which almost acquit the aggressor, function to produce social justifications for criminal behavior. Rape is never victim’s fault. This perspective, which is known to be related to rape myths and gender roles, is important in terms of justice, individual rights, and social perspective. Victims of date rape are deprived of seeking social support and social help; they also do not prefer to seek their rights and application to legal processes. In proportion of social acceptance of rape myths, victims internalize the shame about their experience and develop a mechanism that blames themselves, so both the severity of trauma increases and the trauma repair process suffers. The severity of the trauma is closely related to the reaction which is given to this behavior in the social environment where the victim lives. In this review study, the concept of “Date Rape” is explained in the context of the literature and is evaluated in terms of gender roles and rape myths. The aim of this study is to evaluate the concept of date rape in terms of secondary victimization.
Psikiyatride Malpraktis

Published: March 2023

Medical malpractice is defined as the harm caused by the physician or health personnel not performing the standard practice in the diagnosis and treatment process, lack of skills or not giving treatment. What is emphasized in the definition as “not making the standard practice in the diagnosis and treatment process” is actually a long process. The diagnosis and treatment process, which starts with inspection since the patient-physician relationship is established, sometimes continues with operations for surgical branches and sometimes requires the establishment of a long-term follow-up relationship. Errors caused by negligence, carelessness or lack of knowledge that can be made at any point in this process result in medical malpractice. Psychiatry is one of the departments that can be considered low risk in terms of malpractice. Some of the malpractices in psychiatry can actually be seen in any part of the medical field in general. This group includes deficiencies in information and consent, deficiencies in examination and diagnostic errors, incorrect medication administration, and errors in the management of complications. In addition to these, wrong/incomplete treatment in the patient in the second group with a suicidal idea plan-attempt and conditions such as wrong/incomplete treatment in the patient who has a tendency to harm himself or his environment, violation of personal boundaries (sexual and non-sexual), wrong compulsory hospitalization decisions, violation of the principle of secrecy and stigma are highly specific to psychiatry. Psychiatry is a branch that should be evaluated specifically in terms of medical malpractices due to its unique characteristics.

Authors: Buğra Aytül , Daş Taner
Published: March 2023

Objective: In our study, we aimed to determine the accompanying cardiac pathologies and accompanying findings in other organs in the cases of giant cell myocarditis.
Methods: The histopathology reports of autopsied cases between 2011 and 2020 were reviewed. Cases diagnosed with myocarditis were evaluated retrospectively according to their histopathological pattern. According to histopathological pattern, it was divided into subgroups as neutrophilic, lymphocytic, lymphohistiocytic, eosinophilic, myocarditis accompanied by granulomas, and giant cell myocarditis. Age and gender distribution, death patterns, autopsy findings, concomitant cardiac pathologies, and histopathological findings in other organs of cases diagnosed with giant cell myocarditis were evaluated retrospectively.
Results: Between 2011 and 2020, 558 of 49,612 autopsies performed in Morgue Department of the Council of Forensic Medicine were diagnosed as myocarditis in the histopathological examination. 1.02% (n=6) were giant cell myocarditis. Three of the cases with giant cell myocarditis were male and three were female. Histopathological findings were similar in all cases diagnosed with giant cell myocarditis. The mean age was found to be 55.66 (31-80). Heart weight ranged from 433-740 gram. Mononuclear cells, polymorphonuclear leukocytes and, eosinophils accompanying giant cells were seen in the inflammatory infiltrate with necrosis. On macroscopic examination, variegated discoloration and scarring on the ventricular wall was the most common finding. Giant cell myocarditis resulted was the cause of death in four cases. Lobular pneumonia was observed in the lungs in two cases. One case had acalculous cholecystitis.
Conclusion: Autopsy and histopathological diagnosis in sudden and unexpected deaths gain importance to diagnose giant cell myocarditis.

Objective: Traumatic injury during pregnancy is one of the leading causes of non-obstetric or accidental maternal mortality and disability in women. The aim of the study was to evaluate the relationship between the severity of injuries in pregnant women and termination of pregnancy, which are qualified as “serious harm to health” in accordance with the conclusions of forensic medical examination in the medical injury documentation of pregnant women.
Methods: The study examined retrospectively the records of forensic medical examinations of pregnant women where the bodily injury was qualified as “serious harm to health” between 2008 and 2017. The analysis of the conditions and mechanisms of occurrence of injury, the type and area of injury, and the outcome of the pregnancy was also included in the research.
Results: 12 pregnant women were found to have injuries that is qualified as serious harm to health. The traffic accidents led the causes of injury with eight cases (66.7%). In the remaining cases, one of the pregnant women had mechanical injury during the fire, the other had a sexual assault with a bottle, and two cases had penetrating stab injuries. The pregnancy outcomes were as follows: intrauterine fetal death at week 30 and 35 occurred in two cases, spontaneous miscarriage at week 20 in one case and medical abortion at 6 week in one case which amounts to 33.3%.
Conclusion: All cases of termination were accompanied by severe combined injuries in pregnant women and an unfavorable outcome is more often observed with polytrauma.

Authors: KAPLAN Hatice Elanur
Published: March 2023

Risk management involves awareness toward risks, predicting them and minimizing losses or transforming them into an opportunity. Its instruments that emerged with the improvement of the financial system are looming large every passing day. For corporate purposes, risk management, as well as risk measurement, is a useful and essential issue. The research aims to make a comparative analysis of the risk structures of the MIST countries (Mexico, Indonesia, South Korea, and Turkey) and the US indexes (S&P 500) in terms of risk concepts. In this study, the risks of the national stock market indexes of the MIST (Mexico, Indonesia, South Korea, and Turkey) countries are measured using the monthly closing data for the 2010-2021 period, based on the US markets. The S&P 500 index is determined as the market index. Thus, the total risks of the securities market indexes of MIST countries are estimated and categorized as unsystematic and systematic. Moreover, beta coefficients indicating sensitivity to fluctuations in the market are estimated by using the 144-month data. Findings: It is indicated that the unsystematic risks of the securities markets in the MIST country group on the basis of index are, in general, quite low, and the systematic risk factor constitutes the majority of the risk

This study aims to see the implementation, opportunities, and challenges of the Spice Route program in Aceh Province as a world cultural heritage with several indicators, namely Bureaucratic Structure, Resources, Disposition, Communication, Program Content, and Context. A qualitative method with a case study approach and NVivo 12 Plus as a supporter of the analysis. The findings of this study indicate that the implementation of the Spice Route program in Aceh Province has not been fully running well, there are many weaknesses in terms of the bureaucratic structure and budgetary resources as well as human resources, commitments are still minimal, and do not meet standards. Furthermore, in terms of activities, it was found that there were still many activities that were ceremonial in nature and did not lead to physical activities, such as the construction of a spice botanical garden as a center for agro-tourism and agro-industry of Aceh spices. In terms of opportunities, it has excellent potential to be used as a world cultural heritage with historical evidence of its herbs and its location as a gateway to the Straits of Malacca and the Indian Ocean for international trade routes. In terms of challenges, there is no good cooperation between agencies, both vertical agencies and the Aceh government and the Aceh government and Regency / City Government.
Antibiotics- Access or excess? Reviewing alternative targets for antibacterial activity
Authors: Shyam Sharan , Mohan Prafull , Sinha Sharmila
Published: March 2023

Antimicrobial resistance is a condition in which microorganisms no longer respond to medications that were previously effective against them. This makes infections more difficult to cure, necessitating greater doses, and leads to increase morbidity and mortality. Antimicrobial therapy failure is frequently caused by the spread of resistant infections, which eventually replace susceptible pathogens. Antibiotics are a type of medicine employed for a limited time and for specific indications. As a result, there isn't much incentive to research and development of newer antibiotics. The temporal utility of antibiotics keeps decreasing as we use them. Hence it is a continuous ordeal, and we need new agents to fight the war against infection. This article attempts to summarize the newer anti-bacterials and some alternative approaches.
Research Insights: Are Public Sector Performance Constraints Mitigated by Workplace Trust?
Authors: Keefer Philip , Vlaicu Razvan
Published: March 2023

Self-collected data on public sector employees from eighteen Latin American countries reveal that employees trust in each other affects individual constraints, organizational constraints, and mission motivation. High-trust employees are i) more willing to collaborate and share information and are more supportive of innovation; ii) are less concerned with low staff quality or lack of discretion to innovate, and more concerned with staff shortages; and iii) have stronger mission motivation. A survey experiment on social distancing policies suggests that trust enhances mission motivation: employee preferences align better with the implied government policy when their trust in the public sector is higher.

A Note on Isolate Domination Number of a Cubic Graph
Authors: Bhangale Shilpa T. , Pawar Madhukar M.
Published: March 2023

In this note we provide a solution to the problem “Find a structural characterization of cubic graph for which the isolate domination number equals one plus its domination number.” We show that if G is a cubic graph of order n and if 6 | n, then the isolate domination number of G is the same as the domination number of G. We also prove that if G is a connected cubic graph with diam(G) > 2, then the isolate domination number is the same as the domination number.
Approximation of Signal Belonging to W' (Lp, ξ(t)) Class by Generalized Cesaro-Euler (Cα,η.Eθ) Operator of Conjugate Fourier Series
Authors: Sonker Smita , Sangwan Paramjeet
Published: March 2023

In this paper, an attempt is made to establish a new theorem on approximation of signal belonging to W' (Lp, ξ(t)), (p ≥ 1), (t > 0) class by using generalized Ces`aro-Euler (Cα,η.Eθ) means of conjugate Fourier series. The established theorem extends, generalizes and improves previous results on summability of conjugate Fourier series for better convergence. In addition, product operators approximate more accurately than individual linear operators.
