Fatty Acid Supplementation and Socioemotional Outcomes: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Trial
Authors: Boone Kelly M. , Parrott Andria , Rausch Joseph , Yeates Keith Owen , Klebanoff Mark A. , Norris Turner Abigail , Keim Sarah A.
Published: September 2020

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES:

Children born preterm experience socioemotional difficulties, including increased risk of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). In this secondary analysis, we tested the effect of combined docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and arachidonic acid (AA) supplementation during toddlerhood on caregiver-reported socioemotional outcomes of children born preterm. We hypothesized that children randomly assigned to DHA + AA would display better socioemotional outcomes compared with those randomly assigned to a placebo.

METHODS:

Omega Tots was a single-site randomized, fully masked, parallel-group, placebo-controlled trial. Children (N = 377) were 10 to 16 months at enrollment, born at <35 weeks’ gestation, and assigned to 180 days of daily 200-mg DHA + 200-mg AA supplementation or a placebo (400 mg corn oil). Caregivers completed the Brief Infant-Toddler Social and Emotional Assessment and the Pervasive Developmental Disorders Screening Test–II, Stage 2 at the end of the trial. Liner mixed models and log-binomial regression compared socioemotional outcomes between the DHA + AA and placebo groups.

RESULTS:

Outcome data were available for 83% of children (ntreatment = 161; nplacebo = 153). Differences between DHA + AA and placebo groups on Brief Infant-Toddler Social and Emotional Assessment scores were of small magnitude (Cohen’s d ≤ 0.15) and not statistically significant. Children randomly assigned to DHA + AA had a decreased risk of scoring at-risk for ASD on the Pervasive Developmental Disorders Screening Test–II, Stage 2 (21% vs 32%; risk ratio = 0.66 [95% confidence interval: 0.45 to 0.97]; risk difference = −0.11 [95% confidence interval: −0.21 to −0.01]) compared with children randomly assigned to a placebo.

CONCLUSIONS:

No evidence of benefit of DHA + AA supplementation on caregiver-reported outcomes of broad socioemotional development was observed. Supplementation resulted in decreased risk of clinical concern for ASD. Further exploration in larger samples of preterm children and continued follow-up of children who received DHA + AA supplementation as they approach school age is warranted.
Corrigendum to ``Descriptive Measures of Poisson-Lomax Distribution''
Authors: Khan Khushnoor
Published: September 2020

This corrigendum focuses on the correction of numerical results derived from Poisson-Lomax Distribution (PLD) originally proposed by Al-Zahrani & Sagor (2014). Though the mathematical properties and derivations by Al-Zahrani & Sagor (2014) were immaculate but during the execution ofthe R codes using Monte Carlo simulation some anomalies occurred in the calculation of the mean values. The same  anomalies are addressed in thepresent corrigendum. The outcome of the corrigendum will provide basic guidelines for the academia and reviewers of various journals to match thenumerical results with the shape of the probability distribution under study. The results will also emphasize the fact that code writing is a cumbersome process and due diligence be exercised in executing the codes using any programming language. Relevant R codes are appended in Appendix 'A'.

CONSUMO COLABORATIVO: UM ESTUDO BIBLIOMÉTRICO ENTRE 2010 E 2019
Authors: Oliveira Verônica Macário de , Teodósio Armindo dos Santos de Sousa
Published: September 2020

RESUMO Este estudo tem como objetivo analisar o estado da arte sobre consumo colaborativo. Para tanto, foi realizada uma análise bibliométrica sobre o tópico “collaborative consumption” (CC) na base de dados Web of Science, que é em uma das principais bases mundiais de literatura científica revisada por pares. Os resultados demonstram que o tema está em evidente crescimento de interesse. Observou-se que nem sempre o periódico que possui o maior número de artigos publicados é o mais influente em número de citações. A identificação dos periódicos mais influentes corrobora os dados das áreas que mais investigam a temática, a saber: negócios e gestão, representando 43,89% dos artigos publicados; ciências e estudos ambientais com 31,02% dos artigos publicados; tecnologia e sistemas de informação, com 25,41% do total de artigos. Além disso, apenas um autor que está listado entre os que mais produzem sobre a temática emerge entre os mais citados. Os resultados apontam que há diferentes formas de operacionalização do CC e muita atenção tem sido dada àquelas práticas que possuem intermediários, porém é relevante compreender o impacto que essa intermediação gera tanto no processo quanto no resultado dessa inovação. A análise do fenômeno é baseada em áreas com diferentes abordagens, mas que contribuem para o entendimento das possibilidades e desafios enfrentados pelas redes colaborativas de consumo. Assim, apresenta-se uma agenda de pesquisa sobre a gestão de modelos de organização de consumo colaborativo e sua relação com a promoção do consumo sustentável.
REPRESENTAÇÕES DO TRABALHO ESCRAVO NA CONTEMPORANEIDADE: DISPUTAS SEMÂNTICAS, MEMÓRIAS E SILENCIAMENTOS
Authors: Batinga Georgiana Luna , Saraiva Luiz Alex Silva , Pinto Marcelo de Rezende
Published: September 2020

RESUMO Este ensaio foi elaborado com o objetivo de apresentar uma discussão sobre o trabalho escravo no contexto brasileiro e as disputas semânticas em torno da construção de um conceito que possa apreender suas representações na contemporaneidade. Para isso, apropria-se de registros de nossa memória, apontando as continuidades históricas, os silenciamentos e dissimulações que atravessam a discussão, tentando aproximá-la do campo da Administração. Observa-se que o trabalho escravo sempre esteve presente na história da humanidade, sendo recorrente sua utilização por várias civilizações, seja pela força coercitiva, aquisição da mão de obra ou por outras formas e interesses. As reflexões apontam que, em detrimento das lutas travadas pela sua extinção até os dias atuais, pode-se afirmar que o trabalho escravo tem resistido e se reconfigurado no tempo e no espaço. O sistema de escravidão aparece e reaparece ao longo da história do trabalho, de maneira atemporal, assumindo novos contextos e formatos, da senzala à escravidão fabril, as oficinas de costura que integram a cadeia produtiva da indústria têxtil, negócios agropecuários, construção civil e outros setores da economia. Seja utilizando a mão de obra de nacionais ou imigrantes, o trabalho escravo é, sobretudo, fruto das ostensivas desigualdades sociais que devastam o mundo.
MULTIFORMIDADE E PEJOTIZAÇÃO: (RE)CONFIGURAÇÕES DO TRABALHO DOCENTE NO ENSINO SUPERIOR PRIVADO SOB O CAPITALISMO FLEXÍVEL
Authors: Gemelli Catia Eli , Closs Lisiane Quadrado , Fraga Aline Mendonça
Published: September 2020

RESUMO O sistema capitalista apresenta especificidades nas diferentes demarcações temporais ao longo do seu transcurso histórico. As transformações políticas, econômicas e sociais vivenciadas contemporaneamente no Brasil impactam em mudanças nas relações de trabalho, que repercutem na profissão docente. Dado esse contexto, o objetivo deste trabalho foi analisar as atuais configurações de trabalho docente em instituições privadas de ensino superior, sobretudo da região metropolitana de Porto Alegre (RS). Trata-se de um estudo exploratório, de natureza qualitativa, baseado em entrevistas semiestruturadas realizadas com dez docentes da área de Administração. Evidencia-se, a partir dos relatos, a primazia do curto prazo, principalmente nas instituições de ensino cujas relações envolvem trabalho autônomo ou contratação por pessoa jurídica. A precarização das relações de trabalho e o discurso de gestão de si alcançam o trabalho docente e resultam em um movimento de pejotização. A flexibilidade e a volatidade revelam-se na exigência para que os/as docentes estejam sempre preparados/as a assumir diferentes disciplinas a fim de minimizar riscos de enfraquecimento progressivo de seu vínculo com as IESs contratantes. No contexto do ensino superior privado, adaptabilidade, mobilidade e aceitação ao risco se sobressaem como condicionantes para o ingresso e a permanência na carreira docente.
NOMEAÇÕES PARA CARGOS COMISSIONADOS E GRUPOS DE INTERESSE: USOS, MOTIVAÇÕES E DESAFIOS RETRATADOS EM PESQUISAS RECENTES
Authors: Lopes André Vaz , Vieira Diego Mota
Published: September 2020

RESUMO As nomeações públicas despertam o interesse de pesquisadores e gestores públicos já há bastante tempo, se tornando um campo importante para a compreensão das relações entre a política e a burocracia. A partir de uma revisão da literatura dos últimos 10 anos, este ensaio tem como objetivo discutir as principais motivações, critérios e desafios relacionados ao processo de escolha para os cargos públicos de livre nomeação, propondo um avanço na teoria sobre o tema, para que sejam discutidas as relações de atores externos ao setor público com os processos de nomeações públicas. Os resultados da revisão mostram que o controle político é a principal motivação abordada na literatura recente, e a lealdade ao governante é o mais importante critério de escolha, indicando como grande desafio, conciliar a influência política e a meritocracia no processo de nomeação. Os estudos se concentram na participação dos políticos e dos burocratas no processo de nomeação, como se considerassem que apenas estes atores influenciam e são influenciados pela escolha dos altos funcionários públicos. No entanto, outros grupos de interesse também participam, contribuindo tanto para a escolha individual dos altos funcionários públicos quanto para o contorno das instituições que regulam o processo de nomeação.
Produção documental no sul do Brasil sob a perspectiva de mulheres cineastas (1995-2010)
Authors: Tomaim Cássio dos Santos , Nunes Francine , Machado Naiady
Published: September 2020

Resumo De um universo de mais de 74 realizadoras identificadas em mapeamento da produção de documentários no Sul do Brasil, entre os anos de 1995 e 2010, foram selecionadas sete para que, a partir de entrevistas semiestruturadas, pudéssemos compreender quem são e o que pensam essas mulheres sobre a produção, distribuição e exibição do documentário no Brasil. Os resultados parciais apresentados integram uma pesquisa mais ampla que teve como objetivo caracterizar a produção documentária contemporânea do Sul do Brasil, procurando compreender onde, o que, como e quem produz na região e onde e de que forma esses filmes são exibidos. A maioria das cineastas entrevistadas tem formação em cursos de Comunicação Social, nos quais conheceram e se envolveram com o cinema e o audiovisual. É consenso entre as realizadoras que a principal dificuldade em se produzir na região está atrelada à dependência financeira, mas reconhecem que, sem o aporte público, o cenário do documentário teria sido diferente no período estudado. Sobre os temas dos filmes, apenas duas delas assumem uma busca por personagens e assuntos femininos, as demais apostam no olhar particularizado da cineasta, em que seus pontos de vistas são marcados pela experiência de ser mulher.
Mídia Impressa e Gênero na construção do impeachment de Dilma Rousseff
Authors: Moritz Maria Lúcia , Rita Mayara Bacelar
Published: September 2020

Resumo Mesmo reconduzida à Presidência da República, Dilma Rousseff foi provisoriamente afastada do cargo 17 meses após a sua posse e teve seu mandato cassado pelo Congresso Nacional em 31 ago. 2016. Muitos atores estiveram envolvidos nesse processo, com destaque para a atuação do Parlamento, do Judiciário e da Mídia. Nesse artigo, analisaremos apenas a Mídia, partindo da ideia que sua atuação é central no atual jogo político-democrático e, neste caso, seu desempenho contribuiu para o desfecho ocorrido. Nosso objetivo é analisar o posicionamento assumido pela mídia impressa nos meses que precederam o afastamento definitivo da Presidenta Dilma, cotejando com uma perspectiva de gênero. Tomamos como corpus da análise os jornais Folha de S. Paulo e O Globo no período entre abril e setembro de 2016. Através da metodologia quali-quanti, as reportagens e editoriais foram contabilizados e categorizados para posterior tratamento analítico à luz da literatura especializada. Os resultados obtidos sugerem que esses periódicos adotaram uma postura favorável ao impeachment, tendo apresentado traços de sexismo em sua cobertura jornalística.
A música pop em David Lynch: canções de época em longas-metragens do diretor
Authors: Souza Fabiano Pereira de , Ferraraz Rogério
Published: September 2020

Resumo Canções pop e de gêneros adjacentes dos anos 1950 e 1960 são um recurso que o diretor americano David Lynch passou a usar em seus filmes a partir de “Veludo azul” (Blue velvet, 1986) e chegou, de forma esporádica, à temporada de 2017 da série televisiva “Twin Peaks”. O objetivo deste artigo é avaliar se e o quanto tal prática reiterou nesses longas-metragens o contraste com as imagens alcançado no sound design de Alan Splet na filmografia de Lynch por meio dos efeitos sonoros, considerando-se ainda conexões desse uso com teorias do contemporâneo e da cultura pop. Para isso, são analisados os filmes “Veludo azul”, “Coração selvagem” (Wild at heart, 1990), “A estrada perdida” (Lost highway, 1997), “Cidade dos sonhos” (Mulholland Dr., 2001) e “Império dos sonhos” (Inland empire, 2006). Conclui-se que efeitos de sincronia e diacronia operam em simultaneidade, ressignificando e presentificando o passado dessas canções pop.

Evaluation of external sulfate attack (Na2SO4 and MgSO4): Portland cement mortars containing siliceous supplementary cementitious materials
Authors: Souza Diego Jesus de , Medeiros Marcelo Henrique Farias de , Hoppe Filho Juarez
Published: September 2020

ABSTRACT: Sulfate attack is a term used to describe a series of chemical reactions between sulfate ions and hydrated compounds of the hardened cement paste. The present study aims to evaluate the physical (linear expansion, flexural and compressive strength) and mineralogical properties (X-ray diffraction) of three different mortar compositions (Portland Cement CPV-ARI containing silica fume and rice husk ash, in both cases with 10% replacement of the cement by weight) against sodium and magnesium sulfate attack (concentration of SO42- equal to 0.7 molar). The data collected indicate that the replacing the cement by the two siliceous supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) generate similar results, both SCMs were able to mitigate the effects of the sodium sulfate attack in both physical and chemical characteristics, however, both materials increase the deterioration (i.e. compressive strength) when exposed to MgSO4 solution.

The global SARS-CoV-2 pandemic led to a steep increase in the need for viral detection tests worldwide. Most current tests for SARS-CoV-2 are based on RNA extraction followed by quantitative reverse-transcription PCR assays that involve a separate RNA extraction and qPCR reaction for each sample with a fixed cost and reaction time. While automation and improved logistics can increase the capacity of these tests, they cannot exceed this lower bound dictated by one extraction and reaction per sample. Multiplexed next generation sequencing (NGS) assays provide a dramatic increase in throughput, and hold the promise of richer information on viral strains and host immune response. Here, we establish a significant improvement of existing RNA-seq detection protocols. Our workflow, ApharSeq (Amplicon Pooling by Hybridization And RNA-Seq), includes a fast and cheap RNA capture step, that is coupled to barcoding of individual samples, followed by sample-pooling prior to the reverse transcription, PCR and massively parallel sequencing. Thus, only one step is performed before pooling hundreds of barcoded samples for subsequent steps and further analysis. Considering these improvements, our proposed workflow is estimated to reduce costs by 10-50 fold, labor by 5-100 fold, automated liquid handling by 5-10 fold, and reagent requirements by 100-1000 fold compared to existing methods.
Athletes Welfare and Reward System in Indonesia: The 30th SEA Games 2019 Athletes and Coaches Perspective
Authors: Novan Novrizal Achmad , Nuryadi N , Komarudin K
Published: September 2020

Sports heroes are considered worthy of appreciation, especially for those who contribute to providing achievements for the nation at regional and international levels. The reward is given to athletes and coaches during their productive lives in the present until their retirement period. However, the rewards received by athletes and coaches tend not to be able to fulfill their welfare as a guarantee of life in the future. Therefore, this study was aimed at determining the relationship between rewards and the level of welfare given by the government and sports committees in Indonesia to athletes and coaches. This research was an ex-post-facto study using a self-administered closed-questionnaire conducted on athletes and national coaches on the 30th SEA Games team in Philippines in 2019. The number of samples was determined by using Slovin formula at 5% error rate and carried out on 46 athletes and nine coaches under the authority of the Indonesian National Sports Committee in Bandung. Data analysis was performed by using SPSS. From the results obtained, these rewards also had a direct correlation with the level of welfare of athletes and coaches. Considering that, if a maximum reward is given, the level of welfare will also be increased. The results indicates that there is a robust and significant positive relationship between rewards and welfare. Athletes and coaches expected the government and sports committee in Indonesia to give rewards that are not only limited to bonuses in terms of financial. Other aspects also need a concern when the athletes and coaches are no longer productive in contributing to the national sports achievements.

Published: September 2020

The level of fitness is a vital aspect that plays an important role in measuring the risk of disease or a person's productivity level. Therefore, this study was aimed at determining and analysing the profile of physical activity and the level of fitness of lecturers and employees in ITB environment. The samples were 219 lecturers and staffs of ITB (110 males and 109 females) who were in 45 - 60 years age range (height 159.7 ± 8.1 cm, body weight 65.0 ± 12.5 kg, BMI 25.5 ± 4.3).  All participants completed series of tests such as the VO2max test with the Rockport test method, anthropometric testing, and filling out a physical activity questionnaire using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) method. The results of this study explained that, of the 219 subjects in this study, most of the subjects had the endomorph type. The VO2max test showed that 49% of the subjects were in the good VO2max category, which was in the range of 31 ml / kg / min to 40 ml / kg / min. Meanwhile, the IPAQ measurement showed that 41% of the total subjects had a low habit of physical activity. This study revealed quantitatively that low physical activity had a high risk of causing obesity and overweight on a person. On the other hand, this study showed that 24% of the total subjects who did a high intensity activity (exercise, etc.) were in the above average VO2max level compared to other subjects. In the end, this research wants to encourage every academic community or other employees to balance the work time with resting patterns, nutrition, and doing regular exercise.

Published: September 2020

The purpose of the article is to consider the formation of local communities in the Khakass-Minusinsk Territory in the religious migrant world. The authors refer to religious migrants as migrants who left their place of permanent residence in Central Russia and moved to Siberia in the 19th century in an attempt to preserve and spread their non-Orthodox religion. The authors analyse literature, sources from the Siberian archives, scientific articles and monographs on the life of religious migrants in other regions of Siberia and the Far East. The article gives a classification of sects, adopted by pre-revolutionary scholars, examines in detail the representatives of all faiths living in the Khakass-Minusinsk Territory, namely Molokans, Dukhobors, Skoptsy, Catholics and Protestants, especially Lutherans, their number, farming conditions and interaction with local population. The conclusion sets out the reasons why local communities in the studied region did not form: the border location of the region, the indigenous population, which was just beginning to accept Orthodoxy, the fragmentation and small number of sectarians

Boundary Crossers: The Transformation of Civil Society Elites in Indonesia’s Post-Authoritarian Era
Authors: Haryanto
Published: September 2020

This article discusses the strategies used by the leaders of civil society organisations (CSOs) to cross the boundary between the field of civil society and the field of the state. Moreover, it examines the implications of this boundary crossing for post-authoritarian politics in Indonesia. In doing so, it tries to answer two questions: First, what are the strategies used by CSO leaders in boundary crossing? Second, what are the political implications of this boundary crossing for Indonesia’s post-authoritarian politics? Using Bourdieu’s field theory as its conceptual framework and drawing on qualitative interviews with CSO leaders, this article scrutinises the mobility of CSO leaders in different sectors: agrarian, anti-corruption, law, and human rights. It identifies two main strategies used in boundary crossing: direct and indirect strategies. Such strategies tend to be individual rather than organisational. Neither strategy is exclusive; CSO leaders do not limit themselves to particular strategies but may combine them and use them simultaneously. Another finding is that, when crossing to the state field, CSO leaders may increase or reduce their capital, or even lose it. Furthermore, boundary crossing has several significant implications for post-authoritarian politics in Indonesia: it generates sectoral policies; it creates political linkages; and finally, it leads CSO leaders to exert political control within the state field.

EVALUATION of STUDIES DETERMINING the EFFECTS of AgNPs on WHEAT SEED GERMINATION ACCORDING to EPA and OECD GUIDELINES:SYSTEMATIC REVIEW
Authors: DOĞAROĞLU Zeynep Görkem , YEŞİL BAYÜLGEN Melek
Published: September 2020

Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are used in many industries due to their unique properties, especially on microbial activity. For that, most of the scientific studies are focused on the antimicrobial effects of AgNPs. However, there is a lack of information about the effects of AgNPs on the growth of plants, especially commonly cultivated wheat plants over the last decades. In this systematic review, we tried to examine the selected studies determining the effects of AgNPs on seed germination of wheat. This research was focused on scientific researches published from 2009 to 2019. The reviewing process has been conducted by 3 keywords and 4 combinations of them in 4 different databases according to PRISMA. Among the 35453 screening records, 7 articles were obtained according to the selection criteria. Obtained results from these 7 articles showed that commercially obtained or chemically synthesized AgNPs have adverse effects on seed germination of wheat than green synthesized AgNPs.
Numerical determination of the singularity order of a system of differential equations
Authors: Baddour Ali , Malykh Mikhail D. , Panin Alexander A. , Sevastianov Leonid A.
Published: September 2020

We consider moving singular points of systems of ordinary differential equations. A review of Painlevé’s results on the algebraicity of these points and their relation to the Marchuk problem of determining the position and order of moving singularities by means of finite difference method is carried out. We present an implementation of a numerical method for solving this problem, proposed by N. N. Kalitkin and A. Al’shina (2005) based on the Rosenbrock complex scheme in the Sage computer algebra system, the package CROS for Sage. The main functions of this package are described and numerical examples of usage are presented for each of them. To verify the method, computer experiments are executed (1) with equations possessing the Painlevé property, for which the orders are expected to be integer; (2) dynamic Calogero system. This system, well-known as a nontrivial example of a completely integrable Hamiltonian system, in the present context is interesting due to the fact that coordinates and momenta are algebraic functions of time, and the orders of moving branching points can be calculated explicitly. Numerical experiments revealed that the applicability conditions of the method require additional stipulations related to the elimination of superconvergence points.

Published: September 2020

Latin America is growing regarding higher education institutions with increasing numbers of students coming from diverse backgrounds, who are experiencing various challenges and demands to adapt. This can lead them to experience issues with their mental health. Social support is one element that has been pointed out as protective of health, however, is still important to deepen its relationship with positive mental health. In This work we analyzed the relationship between positive mental health and perceived social support, as well as differences between men and women in a sample of young university students in the city of Mérida (Yucatán México), where there has been a great growth of higher education institutions. We used a non-experimental quantitative method as well as measuring scales of positive mental health and perceived social support from family and friends. The results reflect potential aspects of positive mental health in youth, as well as the perception of high levels of social support; some significant differences and relationships between both subjects were observed, generating evidence to deepen this findings in the future, support the theory and generate interventions for higher education institutions.

Published: September 2020

This article focuses on courses with an academic writing component (E-type courses) at the Universidad de los Andes as educational innovation. Such courses aim to develop skills such as critical thinking and argumentation, as well as to strengthen disciplinary knowledge. Thus, by studying three cases of E-type courses and techniques such as interview and documentary analysis, the aim is to reach an understanding of the forms of appropriation of teachers in the face of the intensity of change that this innovation entails. The observed results allow us to conclude that the change is mainly fundamental, since core aspects of the courses are transformed.

Authors: R Sandhya , K M Harshitha
Published: September 2020

To assess the awareness, knowledge,and source of information among the undergraduate medical students in Kolar. : This was a cross-sectional semi self-constructed questionnaire-based study. The participants were given a questionnaire, which consisted of the questions regarding awareness, Knowledge, and source of information regarding eye donation. The responses were then analyzed for each category of questions. Out of the 225 responses from the undergraduate medical students, 32.89%(74) students were pursuing final year of medical education, 35% (81) of the students were pursuing the third year, and 31.00% (70) of the students were pursuing second year.70.5% of the students were aware that the whole eye could not be implanted to another person. The outcomes of this study focus on the fact that the majority of the students are aware of eye donations but lack sufficient knowledge to promote eye donation awareness in the community. With proper knowledge and attitude, a medical student can be involved in eye donation campaigns and awareness programs to spread awareness and change the attitude of the community towards eye donation.

Authors: Verma Neha , Kumar Ram
Published: September 2020

The aim of this study is to report the efficacy of topical Mitomycin-C (MMC) as adjunctive treatment following primary excision of ocular surface squamous neoplasia (OSSN).

After detailed evaluation, 25 eyes in 25 patients with localized primary OSSN were selected in a prospective, interventional study and subjected to primary excision followed by the application of topical 0.04% MMC as an adjunct and thereafter followed up over a 24 month period for signs of any tumor recurrence. The 25 patients selected with primary OSSN had a mean age of 64(SD 13) with a range of 47-87 years. They underwent surgical excision followed by 3 cycles of freshly prepared 0.04% MMC with 2 weeks on and 2 weeks off for 12weeks.All patients were followed up thereafter at 1 week, 2 weeks, monthly for 6 months and every 3 months for the next 24 months. No tumor recurrence was observed in any of the cases.

Topical MMC has a definite role in preventing tumor recurrence when used as adjunctive treatment following primary surgical excision of OSSN.

The presentation of posters at scientific conferences to visually represent research projects is a widespread international practice. The main purpose of this paper is to offer reflections relating to posters as visual representations of research studies conducted by PhD candidates. As the basis for our reflections, we consider the main purposes and intended learning outcomes linked to posters and reflect on some of the design and assessment issues associated with the multi-faceted purposes of posters in contexts such as postgraduate research conferences. Notably, the paper includes a set of illustrative vignettes written by a group of PhD students from the Faculty of Humanities at the University of Manchester who were required to design and exhibit posters at an annually held postgraduate research conference. This reflexive dialogue raises a series of issues for consideration by those who are actively involved with the design, presentation, observation and assessment of posters produced by PhD candidates.
Demographic Gaps in Some Latin American Countries (1985-2020)
Authors: Sacco Giuseppina , Sacco Pietro
Published: September 2020

Latin America, in general, is a great geographic, social, political, economic and cultural mosaic and, especially in the demographic field, is far from being a homogeneous aggregate. There have always been, and there are still today, differences between the various countries belonging to this geographical area, both in the ways in which the demographic phenomena have evolved and, mainly, in the times the different steps took for the evolutionary process regarding each of them. This paper will try to monitor the demographic evolution of the countries examined 1 in the period between the five-year periods 1985-1990 and 2015-2020. In addition, it will identify the possible existence of groupings of countries, similar within them and heterogeneous among them, through the cluster analysis technique, thus highlighting some explanatory indicators that have allowed the above mentioned evolution. The results obtained have led to think that it is necessary to study the economic, social, cultural and institutional aspects of every population, thus being able to cope with differential studies on the mortality and fertility of any population in order to interpret demographic phenomena.
Le Tribalisme Comme IdÃ©ologie LÃ©gitimatrice de la HiÃ©rarchie Sociale dans les SociÃ©tÃ©s Composites : une Ã‰tude auprÃ¨s de Jeunes Camerounais
Authors: Tsapi Fomena Shadrak
Published: September 2020

Le tribalisme est lâ€™un des maux dont souffre un grand nombre de sociÃ©tÃ©s africaines (Messanga & Nzeuta Lontio, 2020). Câ€™est sans doute cette rÃ©alitÃ© qui pousse les sciences humaines et sociales Ã  en faire un objet de recherche. Pour la psychologie sociale par exemple, lâ€™intÃ©rÃªt pour un tel sujet pourrait se situer dans la perspective dâ€™une mesure de lâ€™impact de ce phÃ©nomÃ¨ne social sur les relations intergroupes. Dans cette logique, et dans celle des Ã©tudes qui Ã©tablissent un lien entre identitÃ© ethnique et Orientation de la Dominance Sociale (Ho et al., 2015 ; Levin et al., 1998), la prÃ©sente Ã©tude propose de considÃ©rer le tribalisme comme un mythe lÃ©gitimisateur qui accentue la hiÃ©rarchie sociale et, de ce fait, maintient le pouvoir des dominants sur les dominÃ©s. Afin dâ€™atteindre cet objectif, la prÃ©sente Ã©tude a recouru Ã  138 participants de nationalitÃ© camerounaise et dâ€™Ã¢ge variant entre 17 et 32 ans par le biais de lâ€™Ã©chantillonnage accidentel. Les rÃ©sultats obtenus aprÃ¨s lâ€™administration de lâ€™Ã©chelle dâ€™Orientation de la Dominance Sociale et dâ€™une Ã©chelle dâ€™attitude Ã  lâ€™Ã©gard du tribalisme rÃ©vÃ¨lent lâ€™existence dâ€™une corrÃ©lation positive entre les deux variables (r = .41). Ils apportent ainsi un soutien empirique Ã  la prÃ©diction formulÃ©e. Comme contribution thÃ©orique, cette Ã©tude fournit des donnÃ©es statistiques permettant de rÃ©pertorier le tribalisme dans la nomenclature des mythes lÃ©gitimisateurs de la hiÃ©rarchie sociale.
Tribalism is one of the evils from which many African societies suffer (Messanga & Nzeuta Lontio, 2020). It is undoubtedly this reality which prompts the human and social sciences to make it an object of research. For social psychology, for example, the interest in such a subject could lie in the perspective of measuring the impact of this social phenomenon on intergroup relations. In this logic, and in that of the studies which establish a link between ethnic identity and Orientation of Social Dominance (Ho et al., 2015; Levin et al., 1998), the present study proposes to consider tribalism as a legitimizing myth which accentuates the social hierarchy and, therefore, maintains the power of the dominant over the dominated. In order to achieve this objective, the present study used 138 participants of Cameroonian nationality and of ages varying between 17 and 32 years by means of accidentalsampling. The results obtained after the administration of the Orientation of Social Dominance scale and of an attitude towards tribalism scale reveal the existence of a positive correlation between the two variables (r = .41 ). They thus provide empirical support to the prediction formulated. As a theoretical contribution, this study provides statistical data making it possible to list tribalism in the nomenclature of legitimizing myths of the social hierarchy.
Chinese FDI Influence in the Capital Generation, Trade, and Inflation with the Perspective of Economic Development in Pakistan
Authors: Riaz Matiha , You Hongbing
Published: September 2020

The role of foreign direct investment has been essential in spurring growth by designing more opportunities in developing countries such as Pakistan. This paper focuses on predicting the effect of Chinese inward Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) with an exceptional and increasing role in Pakistan over the period from 2000 to 2018. As a result, the study examines the relationship that exists among economic development, Chinese investment, trade openness, capital formation, and inflation using the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) model. The results show a positive and significant relationship between Chinese investment in the development of Pakistanâ€™s economy by increasing capital and boosting the means of trade in global markets. It was supposed that Chinese investment can provide various opportunities such as firms with new markets, cheaper production facilities, and access to new technology, products, and skills if financed for productive purposes. It was recommended that policymakers should intervene through policy suggestions and implementation so that the economy would be able to take part in the race of becoming a global economy.
Exploring Future Effects of Prolonged Austerity Policy on Environmental Decisions in Scotland: Perspectives from a Kuznetsian Thought Experiment
Authors: Onyango Vincent
Published: September 2020

The austerity policy atmosphere pursued by most European governments post 2007/8 financial crises, resulted in significant budgetary cuts to environmental protection institutions, meaning that more needed to be done with fewer resources. This raises a fundamental question: if resources or financial income for institutions that promote environmental protection drop or stop growing, as during recent austerity, how would this affect future environmental protection decisions? In response, this paper applied the Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) model as a thinking tool, to project and link â€œbudgetary incomeâ€ for environmental protection institutions and the â€œperceived environmental protectionâ€, within a context of prolonged austerity policy atmosphere. The data for budgetary income and for perceived environmental protection was collected from published documents and questionnaire surveys, respectively, in Scotland, from stakeholders involved in the planning sector. The results showed a high likelihood of continued adverse effects on environmental protection, suggesting that a new debate towards a fundamental approach in how to protect the environment during prolonged periods of financial hardship is urgently needed. The paper concludes that there is an urgent need to overcome the powerful state rhetoric and rationale that puts neoliberal exigencies of economic revitalisation above considerations of environmental protection.
