Investigação panorâmica sobre a adoção de estruturas facetadas no viés da arquitetura da informação
Authors: Da Silva Márcio Bezerra , Miranda Zeny Duarte de
Published: February 2021

Introdução: Considerando os sistemas de organização da arquitetura da informação, com ênfase nas estruturas de organização, discute-se a adoção de facetas em ambientes digitais, ponderando modelos de facetação, suportes digitais onde os modelos foram adotados, modelos por escopo de atuação, evolução dos ambientes digitais ao longo dos anos e facetas à luz das categorias fundamentais Personalidade-Matéria-Energia-Espaço-Tempo, oriundas da teoria da classificação facetada do indiano Ranganathan. Objetivo: Apresentar um panorama de uso de facetas na estruturação de ambientes digitais. Metodologia: Estudo exploratório e bibliográfico, com coleta de dados qualitativa de ambientes digitais que utilizam modelos de facetação e suas características, realizada em 2017 e continuada até 2020. Resultados: Os websites de e-commerce são os espaços onde os modelos facetados são mais adotados, tendo o wine.com como uma inspiração, inclusive com alguns atualizando suas facetações em novas perspectivas com o tempo; o escopo de aplicação de facetações concentra-se no mundo dos negócios, iniciando em 2006 e continuando ao longo do tempo; e personalidade foi a mais presente entre os itens das categorias fundamentais. Conclusões: A adoção de facetas permite que um mesmo objeto tenha interpretações diferentes em um menu navegacional, formaliza a multidimensionalidade idealizada por Ranganathan a partir de mnemônicas personalizadas ao escopo do ambiente digital, orienta na construção de taxonomias múltiplas e rasas e representa uma forma de classificação que acentua-se ao longo dos anos, fortalecendo a inferência de que os websites assumiram a facetação como um caminho para organizar a informação segundo estruturas de navegação e busca integradas.

Authors: Santos Elisângela Vilela dos , Silva Fábio Mascarenhas
Published: February 2021

Introdução: A motivação do estudo é entender se as palavras-chave e as keywords plus dos artigos da área de Nutrição, indexados na Web of Science, recebem tratamento temático adequado que favoreça a Visualização da Informação. Objetivo:  avaliar a qualidade da representação da informação na Base de dados Web of Science (WoS) por meio da análise dos campos palavras-chave de autor e keywords plus dos artigos da área de Nutrição em Saúde Pública, buscando observar o uso desses termos no contexto da visualização da informação. Metodologia: Trata-se de um estudo exploratório, que busca compreender a dinâmica da representação da informação do domínio de Nutrição na base de dados WoS. O corpus é composto por um conjunto de vinte artigos com alto índice de citação, publicados no período de 2006 a 2016. A análise se deu em duas etapas: na primeira, aplicou os critérios de avaliação da indexação ao conjunto de termos da referida base e, na segunda, utilizou como parâmetro o vocabulário DeCS (Descritores de Ciências da Saúde) para encontrar pontos de intersecção entre esse vocabulário e a representação da informação na WoS. Tal análise teve como ponto central a garantia literária. Resultados:  tanto as palavras-chave de autor quanto as keywords plus do corpus analisado conseguiram atender a critérios de indexação, todavia foram observados aspectos da representação temática que comprometem a visualização da informação. Conclusões: Quanto à garantia literária, o resultado mostrou que não existe uma linguagem comum entre o DeCS e os termos da WoS.
Processamento Anafórico e Leitura: revisão sistemática e ponderações para ensinar e aprender a ler
Authors: Franzen Bruna Alexandra , Souza Ana Cláudia
Published: February 2021

Este artigo investiga a relação entre processamento anafórico e leitura em perspectiva psicolinguística, visando conhecer e analisar estudos brasileiros que relacionam esses dois eixos e propor ponderações acerca de implicações pedagógicas ao ensino da leitura. Trata-se, pois, de pesquisa bibliográfica, desenvolvida pelo método de revisão sistemática e pelo estudo da literatura acerca do processamento e da compreensão em leitura e do seu ensino. As pesquisas analisadas no estudo de revisão são experimentais e seus resultados demonstram diferenças de custos de processamento geradas por distintas construções anafóricas. Quanto às implicações pedagógicas, as ponderações respaldam-se nos seguintes princípios: 1) leitura se ensina; 2) o estímulo a que o/a leitor/a acessa visando à compreensão é o texto escrito; 3) a natureza e a constituição do texto têm implicações diretas tanto no processamento quanto no seu resultado; 4) o texto escrito se constitui por meio de uma trama da qual a correferenciação é parte importante; 5) a resolução de anáforas, portanto, é fundamental à compreensão dos textos e deve ser explícita e sistematicamente ensinada, não se tratando, assim, de análise do texto pelo texto em sala de aula, mas de sua análise na relação com o/a leitor/a em atividade de leitura objetivando à compreensão.

Materialidade e serviços ambientais: o caso de uma empresa florestal
Authors: Lara Cunha Cristiana , Kaetsu Patrícia Taeko , Ferreira Gleriani Torres
Published: February 2021

A análise da materialidade, como parte dos relatórios de sustentabilidade, apoia as empresas na priorização de reporte dos temas que produzem impactos econômicos, ambientais e sociais significativos ou que influenciam as avaliações e decisões de stakeholders. O relacionamento da empresa com suas partes interessadas é, assim, essencial para trazer inputs que fomentem e fortaleçam o diálogo. No entanto, há o desafio de definir e, consequentemente, implementar a materialidade de algumas questões ambientais. O objetivo deste artigo, assim, é analisar os temas materiais presentes nos relatórios de sustentabilidade empresarial e sua relação com os serviços ambientais decorrentes das operações. Para isso, uma empresa florestal e certificada, cujo manejo é considerado sustentável, serviu como estudo de caso. Dados secundários embasaram as conclusões de que a materialidade de uma empresa, no que tange os seus impactos ambientais difusos na sociedade, não deve se limitar ao que é estabelecido pelos stakeholders diretos de uma organização. Assim, parâmetros internacionais de definição dos serviços ecossistêmicos servem como uma fonte referência para nortear a materialidade empresarial.

On Subspace-recurrent Operators
Authors: Moosapoor Mansooreh
Published: February 2021

In this article, subspace-recurrent operators are presented and it is showed that the set of subspace-transitive operators is a strict subset of the set of subspace-recurrent operators. We demonstrate that despite subspace-transitive operators and subspace-hypercyclic operators, subspace-recurrent operators exist on finite dimensional spaces. We establish that operators that have a dense set of periodic points are subspace-recurrent. Especially, if $T$ is an invertible chaotic or an invertible subspace-chaotic operator, then $T^{n}$, $T^{-n}$ and $\lambda T$ are subspace-recurrent for any positive integer $n$ and any scalar $\lambda$ with absolute value $1$. Also, we state a subspace-recurrence criterion.
Zużycie własnego produktu energetycznego w świetle zasady opodatkowania konsumpcji podatkiem akcyzowym (wybrane zagadnienia na gruncie prawa unijnego)
Authors: Chowaniec Jakub
Published: February 2021

Celem artykułu jest przedstawienie zagadnienia zużycia własnego produktu energetycznego na terenie zakładu wytwarzającego produkty energetyczne w świetle zasady opodatkowania konsumpcji w podatku akcyzowym, na gruncie prawa unijnego. Zharmonizowany system unijnej akcyzy oparty jest na zasadzie jednofazowości opodatkowania, a podatek staje się wymagalny w czasie i w państwie członkowskim UE dopuszczenia do konsumpcji, co jest określone w dyrektywie. Może się jednak zdarzyć, że to sam podatnik stanie się konsumentem w przypadku wykorzystania wyrobu akcyzowego do wytworzenia innego wyrobu akcyzowego. W konsekwencji powstaje wątpliwość, czy taka konsumpcja powinna podlegać opodatkowaniu, czy raczej być wyłączona lub zwolniona z podatku, jeżeli produkcja finalnego wyrobu akcyzowego będzie podlegać opodatkowaniu.
Dyrektywa Rady 2003/96/WE z dnia 27 października 2003 r. w sprawie restrukturyzacji wspólnotowych przepisów ramowych dotyczących opodatkowania produktów energetycznych i energii elektrycznej1 przewiduje specjalny przywilej podatkowy – zużycie produktów energetycznych na terenie zakładu produkującego produkty energetyczne nie jest uważane za zdarzenie powodujące powstanie zobowiązania podatkowego, jeśli zużyciu ulegają produkty energetyczne produkowane na terenie zakładu. Jednakże gdy zużycie następuje na cele niezwiązane z produkcją produktów energetycznych, w szczególności na cele napędu pojazdów, wówczas jest to uznawane za zdarzenie powodujące powstanie zobowiązania podatkowego. Jeśli weźmie się pod uwagę, że energia elektryczna nie stanowi produktu energetycznego oraz istnieje specjalne zwolnienie podatkowe przewidziane dla produkcji energii elektrycznej, a także że przepisy dyrektywy 2003/96/WE nie są wystarczająco precyzyjne, można dostrzec liczne problemy praktyczne związane z ich stosowaniem. Doprowadziło to do wielu sporów podatkowych między podatnikami a organami podatkowymi, a część z nich swój finał znalazła przed TSUE. W niniejszym artykule autor przedstawia najnowsze orzecznictwo TSUE dotyczące tego zagadnienia.

Validation of the Polish version of the Quality of the Carer-Patient Relationship (QCPR) in the population of seniors with dementia and their caregivers
Authors: Janus Edyta , Smrokowska-Reichmann Agnieszka , Bukowska Anna A.
Published: February 2021

Introduction: Quality of the Carer-Patient Relationship (QCPR) is a specific scale for testing the quality of relationships between the caregiver and the care recipient.
Aims: The aim of the study was to translate, culturally adapt and validate the Polish language version of the QCPR questionnaire.
Material and methods: The study was conducted in a group of 102 people who agreed to participate in this study. The group included 43 seniors with early and intermediate dementia and 59 carers of people with dementia. The snowball method was used in the selection of the sample. All respondents lived in the following provinces: Małopolskie and Śląskie. Respondents completed the paper version of the QCPR questionnaire once. The research was carried out in January 2020.
Results: Cronbach's alpha reliability coefficients (α) for the Polish language version was α = 0.93α, which means that a very high level of internal compliance was noted.
Conclusions: The proposed Polish language version of the Quality of the Carer-Patient Relationship (QCPR) questionnaire allow to assess the quality of relationships between people creates dyads. It should be noted that the analysis concerns a single-factor variant. The level of reliability of the top-down scales is admittedly high (warmth: α = 0.93; criticism: α = 0.75), nevertheless the analyzes show that it is a purely arbitrary, content division, and the responses of the respondents do not combine in the scales highlighted in the original version of the questionnaire.

Usando o teste ponta a ponta para garantia de confiabilidade de um Sistema Integrado de Gestão: uma prova de conceito
Authors: Lima Yury , Rodrigues Elder , Oliveira Rafael , Bernardino Maicon
Published: February 2021

Com o intuito de melhorar o gerenciamento e tomada de decisões, as empresas tendem a organizar suas informações através dos Sistemas Integrados de Gestão (ERPs). Os ERPs devem ser sistemas confiáveis, pois representam o negócio e influenciam nas tomadas de decisões. Entretanto garantir a confiabilidade de um ERP através de testes não é uma tarefa trivial, pois são geralmente sistemas de grande porte. O uso de testes automatizados de ponta a ponta pode ser uma solução eficaz. Este estudo apresenta uma Prova de Conceito (POC) do uso de testes ponta a ponta, através de uma arquitetura, métricas e métodos de realizar interações com cada camada da aplicação. Resultando assim em uma redução do tempo necessário para resolver e detectar erros no sistema.
Utilização do Scrum no desenvolvimento de uma aplicação web: um Estudo de Caso
Authors: Dal Molim Thales Felipe , Souza Francisco Carlos
Published: February 2021

O Scrum destaca-se pela capacidade de lidar com a imprevisibilidade inerente a projetos complexos, para tanto, um dos conceitos utilizados é o de equipes autogeridas e multifuncionais. Entretanto, ao garantir maior autonomia a uma equipe, requer-se um maior comprometimento da mesma, especialmente em ambientes incertos, como o meio acadêmico. Desta forma, o presente artigo tem por objetivo demonstrar a aplicação do Scrum no desenvolvimento de uma aplicação web em ambiente acadêmico, por meio de um estudo de caso. Após a execução, concluiu-se que, embora os requisitos essenciais tenham sido entregues, inicialmente houve momentos de alta produtividade, porém, ao longo da execução houve atrasos e improdutividade, devido principalmente à falta de reuniões regulares, que levaram a uma desmotivação da equipe.

Rethinking a Timely Response of Human Resources to Global Signals: A Case of Organizational Reflexes
Authors: Vaitkevicius Sigitas , Papsiene Palmira , Vaitkevicius Jura Vladas
Published: February 2021

The general idea of this paper is to present a model that could explain which characteristics of the human reflex arc are inherited by the system of an organization’s human resources when they respond to a signal incoming from the global environment. The possibility of inheritance in an organization is discussed in the theories associated with Sociobiology, Biological view in Strategic Management, Reductionism, Microfoundations, and the advanced experience of inheriting neural activity that can be found in Experimental Neuropsychology. Similarity and consolidation of differences incoming from these theories allowed for the theoretical development of a Reflexes model of an organization’s human resources response to the signals from the global environment. The analysis of organizational response to the signals incoming from the global environment and its reaction to the system’s activity have shown that an organization operates very similarly to the human reflex arc. This insight allowed recognizing the human nervous system’s structure as a constituent in an organization’s decision-making system. In this paper, the model of the biological nature of the organization behavior is presented. It explains how an organization forms its reflexive competitive response to the signals incoming from the global environment.
Finanzfolgen höchstrichterlicher Entscheidungen
Authors: Wiechmann Julia
Published: February 2021

The German state is a tax state and relies on current revenues. If a tax is declared incompatible with the constitutional law, the Federal Constitutional Court regularly orders its continued application until a new regulation is adopted. The taxpayer must then pay an unconstitutional tax without receiving any compensation for it. The order for continued application does not eliminate the constitutional infringement, but maintains it. The ECJ takes a much stricter approach to violations of EU law, since in its view the financial interests of a state are never suitable for maintaining an unconstitutional state. The work attempts to strike an appropriate balance between these two positions.
Steuerliche Verlustnutzung im Rückwirkungszeitraum
Authors: Schrepp Caroline
Published: February 2021

The taxpayer’s freedom of tax structuring and the legislative interest in effective anti-tax abuse measures are at odds. This conflict of interest is particularly distinct in the area of tax loss utilisation. At the same time, the constitutional foundation of tax loss utilisation increasingly loses sight. By using paragraph 2(4) German Reorganisation Tax Act as an example, the present work examines the constitutional limits of loss offsetting restrictions. It analyses its close connection to paragraph 8c German Corporation Tax Act and considers the provision in light of the European understanding of tax abuse. The results of the analysis conclude in an amendment proposal for paragraph 2(4) German Reorganisation Tax Act, which takes into account national and European requirements.
Ernest Borneman
Authors: Aurich Rolf , Jacobsen Wolfgang
Published: February 2021

Diese Monografie würdigt mit Ernest Borneman (1915–1995) einen Intellektuellen, der mit seinem Einfallsreichtum die Film- und Fernsehgeschichte weltumspannend, doch gleichsam unsichtbar über Jahrzehnte begleitet und mitgeprägt hat. Bekannt ist Ernest Borneman heute allenfalls als Sexualwissenschaftler. Dass er Romancier und Autor von Kriminalromanen war: vergessen.

Auch seine Arbeiten für Film und Fernsehen sind kaum mehr im Gedächtnis. 1933 ging Borneman ins englische Exil, wurde von dort

nach Kanada deportiert und kehrte nach Kriegsende zu seinen Ursprüngen zurück. In Deutschland blieb er ein Fremder – als Liberaler, als offener, neugieriger Geist. In Kanada hatte er Propagandafilme gegen das nationalsozialistische Deutschland gedreht, nach dem Krieg die Filmabteilung der UNESCO in Paris geleitet. Wesentliche Züge der privaten Fernsehsender in England waren auch sein Werk. Borneman entwickelte 1960/61 das Freie Fernsehen in der Bundesrepublik, Vorläufer des ZDF – das "Adenauerfernsehen", ein Fiasko, das seinem Ruf schadete. Der legendäre Beat-Club von Radio Bremen: seine Idee, doch nicht mit ihm verbunden. Stets wurde er misstrauisch beobachtet, eine wirkliche Karriere bei Film und Fernsehen blieb ihm versagt. Die Autoren erzählen ausgehend von exemplarischen Dokumenten von Bornemans Aktivitäten für Film und Fernsehen. Sie legen Fährten durch ein schier unüberschaubares Reservoir an Bildern und Tönen und entwerfen ein faszinierendes Bild einer beeindruckenden Persönlichkeit.
The Cellular Stress Response Interactome and Extracellular Matrix Cross-Talk during Fibrosis: A Stressed Extra-Matrix Affair

Diverse internal and external pathologic stimuli can trigger cellular stress response pathways (CSRPs) that are usually counteracted by intrinsic homeostatic machinery, which responds to stress by initiating complex signaling mechanisms to eliminate either the stressor or the damaged cells. There is growing evidence that CSRPs can have context-dependent homeostatic or pathologic functions that may result in tissue fibrosis under persistence of stress. CSRPs can drive intercellular communications through exosomes (trafficking and secretory pathway determinants) secreted in response to stress-induced proteostasis rebalancing. The injured tissue environment upon sensing the stress turns on a precisely orchestrated network of immune responses by regulating cytokine-chemokine production, recruitment of immune cells, and modulating fibrogenic niche and extracellular matrix (ECM) cross-talk during fibrotic pathologies like cardiac fibrosis, liver fibrosis, laryngotracheal stenosis, systemic scleroderma, interstitial lung disease and inflammatory bowel disease. Immunostimulatory RNAs (like double stranded RNAs) generated through deregulated RNA processing pathways along with RNA binding proteins (RBPs) of RNA helicase (RNA sensors) family are emerging as important components of immune response pathways during sterile inflammation. The paradigm-shift in RNA metabolism associated interactome has begun to offer new therapeutic windows by unravelling the novel RBPs and splicing factors in context of developmental and fibrotic pathways. We would like to review emerging regulatory nodes and their interaction with CSRPs, and tissue remodeling with major focus on cardiac fibrosis, and inflammatory responses underlying upper airway fibrosis.
Structure of Lipoproteins and Their Capacity for Lipid Exchange: Relevance for Development of Atherosclerosis and Its Treatment by HDL Therapy
Authors: Waldie Sarah , Del Giudice Rita , Cárdenas Marité
Published: February 2021

Atherosclerosis, the largest killer in the western world, arises from build-up of plaques at the artery walls and can result in cardiovascular disease. Low- and high-density lipoproteins are involved in the disease development by depositing and removing lipids to and from macrophages at the artery wall. These processes are complex and not fully understood. Thus, determining the specific roles of the different lipoprotein fractions involved is of fundamental importance for the treatment of the disease. In this chapter, we present the state of the art in lipoprotein structure with focus on the comparison between normolipidemic and hypertriglyceridemic individuals. Then we discuss lipid transfer between lipoproteins and receptor-free cellular membranes. Although these models lack any receptor, key clinical observations are mirrored by these, including increased ability of HDL to remove lipids, in contrast to the ability of LDL to deposit them. Also effects of saturated and unsaturated lipids in the presence and absence of cholesterol are revised. These models can then be used to understand the difference in functionality of lipoproteins from individuals showing different lipid profiles and have the potential to be used also for the development of new HDL therapies.
Analysis and Curation of the Database of a Colo-Rectal Cancer Screening Program

Published: February 2021

Data collection in health programs databases is prone to errors that might hinder its use to identify risk indicators and to support optimal decision making in health services. This is the case, in colo-rectal cancer (CRC) screening programs, when trying to optimize the cut-off point to select the patients who will undergo a colonoscopy, especially when having insufficient offer of colonoscopies or temporary excessive demand. It is necessary therefore to establish “good practice” guidelines for data collection, management and analysis. With the aim of improving the redesign of a regional CRC screening program platform, we performed an exhaustive analysis of the data collected, proposing a set of recommendations for its correct maintenance. We also carried out the curation of the available data in order to finally have a clean source of information that would allow proper future analyses. We present here the result of such study, showing the importance of the design of the database and of the user interface to avoid redundancies keeping consistency and checking known correlations, with the final aim of providing quality data that permit to take correct decisions.
Stochastic Theory of Coarse-Grained Deterministic Systems: Martingales and Markov Approximations
Authors: Moreau Michel , Gaveau Bernard
Published: February 2021

Many works have been devoted to show that Thermodynamics and Statistical Physics can be rigorously deduced from an exact underlying classical Hamiltonian dynamics, and to resolve the related paradoxes. In particular, the concept of equilibrium state and the derivation of Master Equations should result from purely Hamiltonian considerations. In this chapter, we reexamine this problem, following the point of view developed by Kolmogorov more than 60 years ago, in great part known from the work published by Arnold and Avez in 1967. Our setting is a discrete time dynamical system, namely the successive iterations of a measure-preserving mapping on a measure space, generalizing Hamiltonian dynamics in phase space. Using the notion of Kolmogorov entropy and martingale theory, we prove that a coarse-grained description both in space and in time leads to an approximate Master Equation satisfied by the probability distribution of partial histories of the coarse-grained state.
Traumatic Brain Injury in Children
Authors: Kanya Wati Dyah
Published: February 2021

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) in children occurs as a result of a sudden bump, roll, or jerk to the head or a penetrating injury to the head that interferes the normal brain function. Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is the leading cause of death and disability in children. More than half a million children present annually to the emergency department for TBI-related visits, and resulting in the death of >7,000 children annually in the United States, with highest incident rates seen in children aged 0–4 years and adolescents aged 15 to 19 years. In Indonesia, from Riskesdas data in 2013 shows the incidence of head trauma in children is about 0.5% of the population from other injury rates. Pediatric TBI is associated with an array of negative outcomes, including impaired cognitive and academic abilities, social impairments, and behavioral problems. The scalp is highly vascularized and a potential cause of lethal blood loss. Even a small loss of blood volume can lead to hemorrhagic shock in a newborn, infant, and toddler, which may occur without apparent external bleeding.
Continental Water Storage Changes Sensed by GRACE Satellite Gravimetry
Authors: Ramillien Guillaume , Seoane Lucía
Published: February 2021

Since its launch in March 2002, the Gravity Recovery And Climate Experiment (GRACE) mission has been mapping the time variations of the Earth’s gravity field with a precision of 2–3 cm in terms of geoid height at the surface resolution of 300–400 km. The unprecedented precision of this twin satellite system enables to detect tiny changes of gravity that are due to the water mass variations inside the fluid envelops of our planet. Once they are corrected from known gravitational contributions of the atmosphere and the oceans, the monthly and (bi)weekly GRACE solutions reveal the continental water storage redistributions, and mainly the dominant seasonal cycle in the largest drainage river basins such as Amazon, Congo, Mississippi. The potential differences measured between the twin GRACE satellites represent the sum of integrated surface waters (lakes and rivers), soil moisture, snow, ice and groundwater. Once they are inverted for estimating surface water mass densities, GRACE solutions are also used to establish the long-term mass balance of the ice sheets impacted by global warming, for quantifying the interannual variations of the major aquifers, as well as for surveying the hydrological signatures of intense meteorological events lasting a few days such as tropical hurricanes. This chapter describes GRACE gravity products and the different data processings used for mapping continental water storage variations, it also presents the most remarkable results concerning global continental hydrology and climate changes.
The Mechanistic and Pathophysiological Role of Adiponectin and Resistin towards Regulation of Food Intake and Appetite in Cardiovascular Associated Risk Factor of Metabolic Syndrome
Authors: Noratiqah Jumli Mimie , Ilyas Nadeem Muhammad
Published: February 2021

Insulin resistance syndrome or syndrome X is also known as metabolic syndrome (MetS). It is an emerging problem globally with the surge of increasing prevalence among urban population of developing countries. The etiology of pathophysiology of metabolic syndrome includes the inflammatory pathways of insulin resistance, deregulated appetite, diet-induced, inflammation-induced obesity, and cardiovascular diseases (CVD). Adipose tissue is an endocrine organ that secrets adipokines like adiponectin and resistin during physiological and pathological states. Moreover, the adipokines associated with diet-induced and inflammation-induced obesity have secondary deteriorating effects on cardiovascular system. Although, the adiponectin and resistin were potentially found in regulating food intake and appetite but their mediating effect on pathophysiology of CVD still needs future investigations. However, the prior studies reported the association of adiponectin and resistin levels with CVD complications related to food intake but still there is need to understand its multifactorial heterogeneity. Therefore, literature suggests figuring out potential target mechanistic and therapeutic approaches of adiponectin and resistin hormone towards food intake and appetite involvement in metabolic syndrome and CVD.

Published: February 2021

Minimally invasive gynecologic surgery is a rapidly growing field, with new modalities and methods being explored constantly. Since the inception of laparoscopic surgery, the goal has been to minimize incision size, which has been further extrapolated to focus on less incisions with Laparoendoscopic Single-site Surgery (LESS). Single site surgery has several advantages, disadvantages, and historically relevant utility. Throughout the ensuing text, the nuances of LESS will be explored and described in detail. Our purpose in this chapter is to explore the history and utility of single site surgery. We hope to set the stage for the extensive coverage and contents of the text to elaborate on LESS and its use in modern Gynecology.

Electrospun fibers are of interest in a number of applications due to their small size, simplicity of fabrication, and ease of modification of properties. Piezoelectric polymers such as Polyvinylidene Fluoride (PVDF) can be charged when formed in the electrospinning process. This chapter discusses fabrication of PVDF fiber mats and fiber yarns and the measurement of their charge using a custom-made Faraday bucket. The results show the measured charge per mass of fiber mats was greater than the values measured for the yarns of the same mass. The measured charges may be related to both mass and external surface areas of the mats and yarn samples. It was observed the area/mass ratios of the fiber yarns were more than 30% less than the fiber mats.
Insurance Business and Sustainable Development

Published: February 2021

In this study, we will discuss recent developments in risk management of the global financial and insurance business with respect to sustainable development. So far climate change aspects have been the dominant aspect in managing sustainability risks and opportunities, accompanied by the development of several legislative initiatives triggered by supervisory authorities. However, a sole concentration on these aspects misses out other important economic and social facets of sustainable development goals formulated by the UN. Such aspects have very recently come into the focus of the European Committee concerning the Solvency II project for the European insurance industry. Clearly the new legislative expectations can be better handled by larger insurance companies and holdings than by small- and medium-sized mutual insurance companies which are numerous in central Europe, due to their historic development starting in the late medieval ages and early modern times. We therefore also concentrate on strategies within the risk management of such small- and medium-sized enterprises that can be achieved without much effort, in particular those that are not directly related to climate change. We start this study with a general overview of the UN sustainable development goals and their implementation in the financial sector world-wide, with a major focus on climate change aspects of investments in a lower carbon economy and economic support of underdeveloped countries that were prevailing until very recently. Although the insurance sector can be considered as a particular branch of the finance industry there are several particularities which need a separate consideration. In the first place, insurance provides a protection of individuals and companies against severe material and non-material losses. Therefore the insurance premiums must be invested safely, in particular under actual insurance regulations like Solvency II. But the insurance industry is also faced with new emerging risks due to climate change, in both the life and non-life sector. Moreover, the European development of insurance regulation has very recently focused also on other sustainability aspects than those related to climate change. We discuss this aspect of risk management in a separate section of this study. Finally, we discuss in detail appropriate strategies how small- and medium sized insurance companies in Europe can handle the new challenges of insurance supervision without too much effort. Our suggestions are mainly driven by own experiences from practice.
Estrogen as a Contributing Factor to the Development of Lipedema

Published: February 2021

Lipedema is an underdiagnosed painful adipose tissue disorder that occurs almost exclusively in women, with onset manifesting at puberty or at times of hormonal change. Unlike many fat disorders, diet and exercise have little to no impact on the prevention or progression of this disease. Estrogens control the distribution of body fat and food intake, regulate leptin expression, increase insulin sensitivity, and reduce inflammation through signaling pathways mediated by its receptors, estrogen receptor alpha (ERα) and ERβ. This review will focus on understanding the role of estrogen in the pathogenesis of the disease and envisage potential hormonal therapy for lipedema patients.
Measurement of Glomerular Area in Primary Glomerular Diseases With a Digital Pathology Software
Authors: TURGUT Didem
Published: February 2021

Objective: Kidney biopsy is essential to evaluate the activity of underlying kidney disease and the risk factors related to kidney disease progression. Glomerular morphometry is a simple but uncommonly used qualitative predictor of long-term kidney function. But it is mysterious if glomerular morphometry changes due to underlying glomerulonephritis. Measurement quantification is also necessary for reliable interpretation. We aimed to evaluate glomerular morphometry with glomerular area measurements quantitatively with digitally scanned slides in the primary glomerular diseases.

Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 198 patients with nephrotic syndrome that underwent kidney biopsy between 2017 and 2019. 48 patients enrolled into the study after the exclusion criteria. We measured the glomerular area as maximum, minimum, and mean areas, using image analysis software.

Results: Forty-eight kidney biopsies were analyzed retrospectively under three primary glomerular disease groups as IgA nephropathy (37.5%), focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (29.2%), and membranous glomerulonephritis (33.3%). The glomerular area measured as maximum, minimum, and mean, were similar between 3 groups. The maximum glomerular area was negatively correlated with serum albumin and positively correlated with 24hr proteinuria (r= - 0.592, p=0.044, and r=0.531, p=0.022) at the time of diagnosis. At the end of one year, maximum glomerular area was positively correlated with serum creatinine (r=0.385, p=0.019) and negatively correlated with eGFR (r= - 0.493, p=0.043).

Conclusions: At the time of diagnosis of glomerular diseases, maximum glomerular area measurement during the pathological assessment might be an additional marker to estimate the ultrastructure of the kidney and the clinical course of the disease.

Authors: BAL Kemal Koray
Published: February 2021

Introduction: Malignant tumors of the skin include basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, malignant melanoma and tumors of the skin appendages.Skin lesions in the head and neck region are frequently encountered in the geriatric population. Although these lesions are generally benign, it is widely known that the prevalence of malignant lesions increases with age.In adults, 80% of the masses in the neck, except benign thyroid diseases, are of neoplastic origin and this rate reaches 90% after the 5th decade. About 70% of these neoplastic masses are malignant, and three-quarters of these are metastatic and one-fourth is primary malignancies.

Objectives: Increasing world population, increasing survival time and increasing geriatric patient population create some differences in healthcare. We planned this study for this purpose.

Methods: The data of 73 patients aged 65 and over were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were divided into two groups as 65-75 years old (Group 1), > 75 years old (Group 2), by age.

Results: Premalignant lesions were found to be statistically significantly higher in Group 1 (p
