Published: November 2021

Objectives: To evaluate the effect of intraperitoneal normal saline instillation (INSI) of 15 mL/kg body weight at the end of a gynaecological laparoscopic procedure on postoperative pain. Design: Randomised controlled trial. Setting: Teaching/University Hospital in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Participants: Patients aged 18-55 years, with American Society of Anaesthesiologists (ASA) classification I–II, scheduled for an elective gynaecological laparoscopic procedure for a benign cause.Intervention: The patients were randomly allocated to two groups. In the intervention group, 15 mL/kg body weight of normal saline was instilled intraperitoneally, while the control group received the conventional combination of open laparoscopic trocar valves with gentle abdominal pressure to remove the retained carbon dioxide. Main outcome measures: The primary outcomes were the mean pain score for the shoulder and upper abdominal pain at 24 h, 48 h, and 72 h postoperatively. Results: A total of 68 women completed the study, including 34 women in each group. There was no difference in the shoulder pain score at 24 h, 48 h, and 72 h postoperatively. However, a significant improvement in the upper abdominal pain score after 42 h (95% confidence interval (CI) 0.34-1.52, p=0.019) and 72 h (95% CI 0.19-0.26, p=0.007) postoperatively were observed. Conclusions: INSI of 15 mL/kg body weight does not lower postoperative shoulder pain compared to no fluid instillation. A modest pain score improvement was observed in the upper abdominal area at 42 h and 72 h after surgery. An INSI of up to 30 mL/kg body weight may be required to eliminate shoulder pain. Care must be taken before administering a higher amount of INSI, considering the potential risk of peritoneal adhesions.

Evaluation of Chemical Seed Treatment to Reduce Injury Caused by Preemergent Herbicides on Direct-seeded Turnips and Collard Greens
Authors: Caputo Giovanni Antoniaci , Branham Sandra , Cutulle Matthew
Published: November 2021

Poor competitive ability and limited herbicide options make weed management of Brassica crops difficult. Growers often adopt the use of transplants, which is less efficient in terms of time, material, and labor when compared with direct seeding, resulting in higher prices per unit. Seed treatment with protective compounds could decrease crop injury from preemergent (PRE) herbicides making it profitable to direct-seed Brassica plants for production. Research was conducted to evaluate the ability of three candidate safeners [24-epibrassinolide, melatonin, and ascorbic acid (AsA)] to reduce injury caused by four herbicides (S-metolachlor, pyroxasulfone, halosulfuron, and mesotrione) applied PRE on the collard green cultivar Top Bunch and turnip cultivar Purple Top White Globe. Two independent greenhouse trials were conducted at the Clemson University Coastal Research and Education Center in Charleston, SC. Visual injury of the treated plants was evaluated weekly and dry mass was collected 21 days after treatment. Seed treatment did not reduce injury efficiently caused by pyroxasulfone, halosulfuron, and mesotrione; all doses were lethal for both crops. However, collard seeds treated using melatonin and AsA had 66% and 54% less injury caused by S-metolachlor at 514 g⋅ha–1 a.i., respectively. On turnips, melatonin was the only treatment that reduced the S-metolachlor damage on seedlings, with 43% less injury than untreated seedlings. Plant injury and plant weight correlated significantly for both Brassica crops. The reduction in injury caused by S-metolachlor when seeds were treated with melatonin and AsA validated those compounds’ protective ability. Seed treatment with melatonin could be combined with PRE applications of S-metolachlor to overcome the low weed competitive ability of these species early in the season.

Published: November 2021

The object of research: mass transfer processes on a combined contact element in a column apparatus.

Investigated problem: determination of the regularities of process parameters in the processing of gas-liquid systems in a foam layer, as well as to interpret the obtained experimental data. The problem of processing industrial gas flows is solved by conducting the process in an intensive mode.

The main scientific results: as a result of the study, the regularities of ammonia absorption were revealed depending on the main parameters of the experiment: gas velocity in the column cross-section, ammonia concentration, free cross-section of the combined contact element, and liquid loads. The process of mass transfer in the gas phase is significantly influenced by hydrodynamic parameters – the gas velocity in the apparatus and the specific load on the liquid, which indirectly affect the height of the liquid layer on the plate and the gas content of the layer.

The area of practical use of the research results: sorption processes for processing gases and liquids in technological processes, absorption of harmful substances in the treatment of gas emissions.

Innovative technological product: new block poppet-nozzle contact device that operates in a stabilized hydrodynamic mode; new ball-shaped weighted nozzle for three-phase foam layer.

Scope of application the innovative technological product: technological processes in the treatment of gas emissions or technological gases.

Can we make sense out of "Tensor Field Theory"?
Authors: Rivasseau Vincent , Vignes-Tourneret Fabien
Published: November 2021

We continue the constructive program about tensor field theory
through the next natural model, namely the rank five tensor theory with
quartic melonic interactions and propagator inverse of the Laplacian
on \mathbf{U(1)^5}𝐔(1)5.
We make a first step towards its construction by establishing its power
counting, identifying the divergent graphs and performing a careful
study of (a slight modification of) its RG flow. Thus we give strong
evidence that this just renormalizable tensor field theory is non
perturbatively asymptotically free.

Madre y destino en la tragedia griega
Authors: Junco Ethel , Cáttedra Olivia
Published: November 2021

A partir de dos tragedias de Eurípides, revisamos la figura de madre mítica en función de paradigma cultural en orden a establecer relaciones históricas. Vinculamos la perspectiva del helenismo del siglo IV y los fenómenos contemporáneos sobre tres claves: el distanciamiento de lo divino y su intento de resignificación a través de una ética horizontal, la generalización de la violencia como estadio de convivencia normalizado, la necesidad de referentes a nivel individual y social. En los textos elegidos, el motivo del destino enfocado desde las consecuencias de la guerra desarrolla tipos contrastantes de heroicidad; entre ellos, Hécuba, la reina madre convertida en viuda y testigo del fin de su descendencia, hace la propuesta distintiva, por medio de la renovación de la idea de justicia y de la revalorización del sufrimiento con sentido trascendente. Eurípides ofrece una alternativa, que cuestiona la idea de civilización ante la crisis de su mundo tradicional -abandono de los dioses, arbitrariedad de los hombres, sojuzgamiento de los inocentes. Si la tragedia propone una actualización del mito de Troya en sede clásica –Atenas de la democracia- su relectura ofrece herramientas de análisis para una contemporaneidad debilitada en su fe trascendente y vulnerada en sus relaciones interpersonales.

Abstract

Based on two tragedies by Euripides, we review the mythical mother figure as a cultural paradigm in order to establish historical relationships. We link the perspective of 4th century Hellenism and contemporary phenomena on three keys: the distancing from the divine and its attempt of resignification through a horizontal ethics, the generalization of violence as a normalized stage of coexistence, the need of referents at individual and social level. In the chosen texts, the motif of destiny focused from the consequences of war develops contrasting types of heroism; among them, Hecuba, the queen mother turned widow and witness of the end of her offspring, makes the distinctive proposal, through the renewal of the idea of justice and the revaluation of suffering with a transcendent sense. Euripides offers an alternative, which questions the idea of civilization in the face of the crisis of its traditional world -abandonment of the gods, arbitrariness of men, subjugation of the innocent. If the tragedy proposes an update of the myth of Troy in a classical setting -Athens of democracy- its re-reading offers analytical tools for a contemporaneity weakened in its transcendent faith and violated in its interpersonal relationships.

Keywords: tragedy, Euripides, Hellenism, Hecuba, heroism.

Authors: Ambros-Antemate Jorge Fernando , Beristain-Colorado María Del Pilar , Vargas-Treviño Marciano , Gutiérrez-Gutiérrez Jaime , Hernández-Cruz Pedro Antonio , Gallegos-Velasco Itandehui Belem , Moreno-Rodríguez Adriana
Published: November 2021

BACKGROUND

Serious games are a support in the rehabilitation process for treating people with physical disabilities. However, many of these serious games are not adapted to the patient’s needs because they are not developed with a software engineering framework with a set of activities, actions, and tasks that must be executed when creating a software product. Better serious games for rehabilitation will be developed if the patient and therapist requirements are identified, the development is planned, and system improvements and feedback are involved. The goal is that the serious game must offer a more attractive environment, while maintaining patient interest in the rehabilitation process.

OBJECTIVE

This paper submits the results of a systematic review of serious games in physical rehabilitation identifying the benefits of using a software engineering framework.

METHODS

A systematic research was conducted using PubMed, PEDro (Physiotherapy Evidence Database), IEEE Xplore, ScienceDirect, ACM Digital Library, Mary Ann Liebert, Taylor & Francis Online, Wiley Online Library, and Springer databases. The initial search resulted in 701 papers. After assessing the results according to the inclusion criteria, 83 papers were selected for this study.

RESULTS

From the 83 papers reviewed, 8 used a software engineering framework for its development. Most of them focused their efforts on 1 or more aspects, such as data acquisition and processing, game levels, motivation, therapist supervision.

CONCLUSIONS

This systematic review proves that most of the serious games do not use a software engineering framework for their development. As a result, development systems overlook several aspects and do not have a standardized process, eventually omitting important implementation aspects, which impact the patient’s recovery time.
Augmented reality in vascular and endovascular surgery: a scoping review (Preprint)
Authors: Eves Joshua , Sudarsanam Abhilash , Shalhoub Joseph , Amiras Dimitri
Published: November 2021

BACKGROUND

Technological advances have transformed vascular intervention over recent decades. Augmented reality (AR) is a subject of growing interest within surgery, with potential to improve the clinicians’ understanding of 3D anatomy and their processing of real-time information. The aim of this review was to summarise the fundamental concepts of these technologies and to systematically assess the literature currently applying AR to vascular surgery.

METHODS

A systematic literature review of ‘Medline,’ ‘Scopus’ and ‘Embase’ was performed according to PRISMA guidelines. Studies were selected by a blinded process between two investigators and assessed with data quality tools.

RESULTS

AR technologies have had a number of applications across vascular and endovascular surgery. The majority of studies use 3D imaging (e.g) CT angiogram derived images of vascular anatomy to augment the clinicians anatomical understanding during procedures. A wide range of AR technologies have been employed with ‘heads up’ fusion imaging and AR head-mounted displays the most commonly clinically applied. AR applications have included guiding open, robotic and endovascular surgery while minimising dissection, improving procedural times and reducing radiation and contrast exposure. Additionally, AR has been successfully applied to surgical training, with scope to improve technical and team communication skills.

CONCLUSIONS

AR has shown promising developments in the field of vascular and endovascular surgery, with potential benefits to surgeons and patients alike. These include reductions in patient risk and operating times while optimising contrast and radiation exposure for radiological interventions. While more technological advances are required to overcome current limitations, it is likely that AR will be a regular feature of vascular surgery clinical practice and training in the future.

Authors: Elgersma Ingeborg Hess , Fretheim Atle , Indseth Thor , Munch Anita Thorolvsen , Johannessen Live Bøe , Hansen Christine Engh
Published: November 2021

BACKGROUND

A low test positivity rate is key to keeping the COVID-19 pandemic under control. Throughout the pandemic several migrant groups in Norway have seen higher rates of confirmed COVID-19 and related hospitalizations, while test positivity has remained high in the same groups. The Norwegian government has used several platforms for communication, targeted social media ads have in particular been an important part of the communication strategy to reach these groups.

OBJECTIVE

In this study we aimed to investigate whether such a targeted Facebook campaign increased the rate of COVID-19 tests performed in certain migrant groups.

METHODS

We randomly assigned 386 Norwegian municipalities and city districts, to intervention or control groups. Individuals born in Eritrea, Iraq, Pakistan, Poland, Russia, Somalia, Syria and Turkey residing in intervention areas were targeted with a social media campaign aiming at increasing the COVID-19 test rate. The campaign message was in a simple language and conveyed in the users’ main language or in English.

RESULTS

During the follow-up period of two weeks, the predicted probability of having a COVID-19 test taken was 4.82 % (CI: 4.47 % - 5.18 %) in the control group, and 5.58 % (CI: 5.20 % - 5.99 %) in the intervention group (P=.004).

CONCLUSIONS

Our targeted social media intervention led to a modest increase in test rates among certain migrant groups in Norway.

Authors: VIJAYALAKSHMI KANCHARLA , ANAND ANDREWS BETHAPUDI SAMUEL , NAGESWARA RAO BOLINENI
Published: November 2021

Objective: We have developed a “stability-indicating RP-HPLC” procedure for the Bilastine (BLS) and montelukast (MTL) analysis of tablets.
Methods: The quantification of BLS and MTL combination was implemented utilising a Waters column (C18, 5 μm, 250 mm and 4.6 mm). Isocratic mobile phase had 60% volume KH2PO4 of 0.1M strength with pH 4.2 units and 40% volume methanol at a flow with 1.0 ml/min speed. UV detection at 232 nm was done to examine BLS and MTL. Stability experiments of BLS and MTL under distinctive environments of stress were also performed.
Results: The BLS and MTL were eluted at 1.810 min and 2.551 min, respectively. The responses were found to be linear for the concentration ranges of 10-30 µg/ml (BLS) and 5-15 µg/ml (MTL). Percent comparative standard deviance for precision was 0.331% (BLS) and 0.486% (MTL). Percent assay for accuracy was 98.96% (BLS) and 99.00% (MTL). The detection limit and quantitation limit measures for BLS were 0.018 µg/ml and 0.059 µg/ml, respectively, while for MTL it was 0.024 µg/ml and 0.081 µg/ml, respectively. Robustness studies authorized that the method is robust with percent comparative standard deviance of a highest 1.950%.
Conclusion: The developed “stability-indicating RP-HPLC” procedure for the BLS and MTL analysis is simple, sensitive, precise, specific and robust, making it appropriate to the assessment of BLS and MTL in a tablet formulation.

Authors: RAHMI IKA AULIA , MUN’IM ABDUL , JUFRI MAHDI
Published: November 2021

Objective: The purpose of this study was to formulate a phytosome lotion from Mangkokan leaf using green solvent extraction.
Methods: Ionic liquid, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate, combined with microwave-assisted extraction, was used to obtain flavonoid compounds. Mangkokan leaf extract was formulated into a phytosome with three different ratios of phospholipon (1:0.5), (1:1), and (1:2). Three phytosome formulas were analyzed to identify the best formula. The analysis included morphology, particle size, and zeta potential, entrapment efficiency, and spectrum analysis using an FTIR spectrophotometer. The formula which chosen was formulated into three lotion formulas with different concentration (20%; 25%; 30%) then, evaluated for physical stability, and hair growth activity test included hair length, weight, and diameter. Minoxidil and non-phytosome lotion were used as comparison. Data were analyzed using two-way ANOVA.
Results: The FTIR of phytosome was confirmed a complex formation of extract and phospholipon. The phytosome morphology was displayed irregular spherical vesicles. Phytosome with the ratio of phospholipon (1:0.5) was formulated into lotion because has a smaller particle size (289 nm), and higher entrapment efficiency (99.76%±0.24) than others. Phytosome lotions displayed higher activity than 2% minoxidil (p = 0.0001). Phytosome lotion (30%) thus showed the highest efficacy for hair length, weight and diameter.
Conclusion: Mangkokan leaf that extracted using 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate solvent combined with microwave-assisted extraction then formulated into phytosome lotion has higher activity than 2% minoxidil. Lotion that contains 30% mangkokan leaf phytosome was showed the highest efficacy.

Published: November 2021

Objective: Development of a technology for the production of a stable injectable dosage form (IDF) of indolocarbazole derivative LHS-1269.
Methods: LHS-1269 is an active pharmaceutical ingredient that was synthesized in the N. N. Blokhin National Medical Research Center of Oncology of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation. The IDF includes dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), 95% ethanol, Kollidon® 17PF and water for injection. Magnetic stirrer and overhead stirrer with a propeller stirring element were used to prepare the model solution of the IDF of LHS-1269. Sterilizing filtration of the solution was performed with 0.2−0.22 um polycarbonate, cellulose, polyvinylidene fluoride, polyethersulfone and nylon membrane filters. The aqueous solution of LHS-1269 was lyophilized in Edwards Minifast DO.2 freeze dryer. Assay of LHS-1269 was performed by spectrophotometry at 320±3 nm. Potentiometry was used to measure pH, a viscosimetry method was used to measure the viscosity of the solutions. The average weight was estimated by weighing a sample of 10 vials with the concentrate.
Results: 0.5% aqueous solution of LHS-1269 was produced by mixing the solution of the active substance in DMSO and ethanol with an aqueous solution of polyvinylpyrrolidone gradually at the ratio of LHS-1269/DMSO/ethanol/Kollidon® of 1/11/32/40 by weight. The aqueous solution of the study substance cannot be lyophilized, so a sequence of technological operations was presented to produce an anhydrous concentrate “LHS-1269, concentrate for solution for injection and infusion 25 mg”.
Conclusion: A technology was developed to produce a stable IDF of a hydrophobic indolocarbazole derivative LHS-1269, a high-potential antitumor drug.

Methods: NPs were prepared by the Ionic gelation method and optimized for various parameters such as the effect of concentration of chitosan, sodium tripolyphosphate (TPP), and pH effect on particle size polydispersity index (PDI), zeta potential, and entrapment efficiency. The prepared nanoparticles were characterized using particle size analyzer (DLS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and Fourier-Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). 
Results: Formulated NPs were obtained in the average nano size in the range below 200 nm in TEM, SEM, and DLS studies. The particle size and encapsulation efficiency of the optimized formulation were 176.1 nm and 63.28%, respectively. The release profile of NPs was depended on the dissolution medium and followed the First-order release kinetics.
Conclusion: Bisphosphonates are the most commonly prescribed drugs for treating osteoporosis in the US and many other countries, including India. Ibandronate is a widely used anti-osteoporosis drug, exhibits a strong inhibitory effect on bone resorption performed by osteoclast cells. Our results indicated that Ibandronate sodium-loaded chitosan nanoparticles provide an effective medication for the treatment of osteoporosis.
RP-HPLC QUANTIFIABLE TECHNIQUE DEVELOPMENT FOR EVALUATING PREGABALIN AND ETORICOXIB COMBINATION IN TABLET AND BULK KINDS
Authors: PUSHPA M. S. SWARNA , RAJESWARI T. RAJA
Published: November 2021

Objective: This evaluation study aims to initiate a relatively sensitive RP-HPLC quantifiable technique for evaluating pregabalin (PRBN) and etoricoxib (ETRB) combination in tablet and bulk kinds.
Methods: PRBN and ETRB chromatographic evaluations were carried off using the “KNAUER C18 Eurospher II column (250 mm × 4.6 mm × 5 μ)”. The mobile phase (MBP) was driven into the KNAUER C18 Eurospher II column at a 1.0 ml/min run rate with an isocratic elution programme of 65% volume of 0.5 mmol sodium perchlorate 35% volume methanol, detected and evaluated the PRBN and ETRB content at 217 nm.
Results: The analysis of PRBN and ETRB is executed inside a run period of 15 min. The RP-HPLC quantifiable technique was developed to separate PRBN and ETRB and likely degradants formed from stress testing by isocratic elution. The RP-HPLC quantifiable technique developed was successfully validated to existing ICH limit guidelines and was confirmed as robust, specific, accurate, selective, precise, sensitive, and linear.
Conclusion: The RP-HPLC quantifiable technique developed here is more valuable and worthy for routine PRBN and ETRB analysis of tablets and bulk kinds.

Published: November 2021

El tiempo de compromiso motor (TCM) tiene implicaciones relevantes en la clase de Educación Física, dado que está relacionado con la actividad física regular que debe realizar un niño o adolescente y las sugerencias de organizaciones internacionales en relación con la mínima cantidad requerida para el mantenimiento de la salud. Este trabajo tiene como objetivo analizar el tiempo de compromiso motor en clases de Educación Física en enseñanza primaria a partir de una revisión sistemática. La búsqueda se hizo en Web of Science, Scopus, ERIC y Dialnet, seleccionando artículos publicados entre 2009 y el primer semestre de 2021. Aplicando criterios de inclusión y exclusión, fueron seleccionados ocho artículos que comprenden una población de estudio de 1262 alumnos. El TCM es bajo en las clases observadas, y la actividad física de moderada a vigorosa presenta datos a la baja. En el estudio de mejor resultado, el TCM alcanza el 46,67 % y, en los restantes, 43,44 %, 42,8 %, 41,45 %, 32 %, 31,5 %, 28,53 % y 18,10 %. Los niños logran mayor TCM que las niñas; niños y niñas en las primeras edades logran mayor participación y tienen más actividad física; el horario matutino y algunas unidades didácticas favorecen un mayor TCM. Se constata que el TCM es bajo en las clases de Educación Física, y que la gestión del tiempo en la clase condiciona la magnitud de la actividad física que realizan niños y niñas. El tiempo de compromiso motor alcanzado en la clase es insuficiente para cubrir las sugerencias mínimas de actividad física en el período escolar.

A Person To Be Remembered’: On the History of Acquaintance of Musa Bigeev and Sayyid Mahmud Tarazi
Authors: Khusnutdinov F. R.
Published: November 2021

There are still many lacunae in the biographies of the Russian and Turkestan prominent religious scholars of the 19th and 20th centuries. In some cases, the biographies of their acquaintances and counterparts could provide some important data which are missing elsewhere. The present article describes two episodes from the history of acquaintance of the renowned Tatar theologian Musa Bigeev and Sayyid Mahmud Tarazi, a prominent scholar from Turkestan, who was forced to emigrate from early Soviet Central Asia and later became one of the leaders of the Turkestan diaspora in the Middle East. The author cites information from the biographies of both scholars and argues that they may have temporarily belonged to the same émigré circles, and were acquainted with each other. A research of their respective biographies indicates that Bigeev and Tarazi met in Bombay in the 1930s and also may have known each other for twenty years prior to their emigration.The subject addressed in this article is of particular significance in reconstructing the history of contacts between the Russian and Turkestan religious scholars during their emigration and in the period preceding it.Key words: Musa Bigeev, Sayyid Mahmud Tarazi, biography, emigration, Kabul, Bombay, Bukhara.

Published: November 2021

The author of this article shortly describes the philosophical aspects of the thought of Hasan Alqadari. A Lezghian Sunni Muslim scholar Hasan Alqadari (1834–1910) is widely regarded as one of the prominent and impressive jurist and historian in Imperial Russia’s Caucasian Dagestan region. Contemporary Islamic scholars present him as Shafi‘i jurist, historian, teacher and enlightener. This article sets out to reconsider Hasan Alqadari’s legacy and to study his representative writings such as Divan alMamnun and Djirab al- Mamnun that allow rethinking Hasan Alqadari as a Muslim thinker. It demonstrates that Hasan Alqadari developed ideas on philosophical issues and topics. The article analyzes those ideas of Hasan Alqadari that he considered the most important for Muslim community. It examines his philosophical and social views and ethical thought. The author outlines specific directions for future research on Hasan Alqadari’s legacy.
On safe post-selection for Bell tests with ideal detectors: Causal diagram approach
Authors: Blasiak Pawel , Borsuk Ewa , Markiewicz Marcin
Published: November 2021

Reasoning about Bell nonlocality from the correlations observed in post-selected data is always a matter of concern. This is because conditioning on the outcomes is a source of non-causal correlations, known as aselection bias, rising doubts whether the conclusion concerns the actual causal process or maybe it is just an effect of processing the data. Yet, even in the idealised case without detection inefficiencies, post-selection is an integral part of experimental designs, not least because it is a part of the entanglement generation process itself. In this paper we discuss a broad class of scenarios with post-selection on multiple spatially distributed outcomes. A simple criterion is worked out, called theall-but-oneprinciple, showing when the conclusions about nonlocality from breaking Bell inequalities with post-selected data remain in force. Generality of this result, attained by adopting the high-level diagrammatic tools of causal inference, provides safe grounds for systematic reasoning based on the standard form of multipartite Bell inequalities in a wide array of entanglement generation schemes, without worrying about the dangers of selection bias. In particular, it can be applied to post-selection defined by single-particle events in each detection chanel when the number of particles in the system is conserved.
Multiport based teleportation – transmission of a large amount of quantum information
Authors: Kopszak Piotr , Mozrzymas Marek , Studziński Michał , Horodecki Michał
Published: November 2021

We analyse the problem of transmitting a number of unknown quantum states or one composite system in one go. We derive a lower bound on the performance of such process, measured in the entanglement fidelity. The obtained bound is effectively computable and outperforms the explicit values of the entanglement fidelity calculated for the pre-existing variants of the port-based protocols, allowing for teleportation of a much larger amount of quantum information. The comparison with the exact formulas and similar analysis for the probabilistic scheme is also discussed. In particular, we present the closed-form expressions for the entanglement fidelity and for the probability of success in the probabilistic scheme in the qubit case in the picture of the spin angular momentum.

Published: November 2021

Este artigo propõe a aplicação do instituto do whistleblowing ao caso do médico chinês “Li Wenliang” por considerá-lo whistleblower, devido aos alertas emitidos em relação à pandemia de COVID-19. Em decorrência da ausência de proteção e do silêncio que lhe fora imposto, indagou-se: “Quais condições jurídicas expressam o direito de proteção do médico que relatou voluntariamente riscos específicos de saúde pública?” Infere-se que o direito à proteção do denunciante de boa-fé respaldado pelo instituto do whistleblowing, legitimado pelos direitos humanos, e garantido pela cooperação internacional expressam as condições jurídicas necessárias para a solução do caso do médico chinês. A metodologia utilizada consistiu no método dedutivo para a partir do instituto do whistleblowing avaliar o caso do médico chinês. O direito de ter sido protegido pelas autoridades chinesas estava legitimado pelos direitos humanos e respaldado legalmente pelo whistleblowing porque era um denunciante de riscos específicos para a saúde pública. O médico era detentor de personalidade internacional, sendo, portanto, consagrado como sujeito de direito perante as instituições internacionais, sendo legítima a exigência dos direitos humanos como forma de impedir eventuais retaliações. Conclui-se que o direito à proteção é, portanto, compromisso de aspiração moral cuja validade jurídica e política dependem da cooperação internacional.
Carga e iniciativa probatoria en acciones populares y su determinación constitucional
Authors: Herrera Díaz Juan Camilo , Pérez Restrepo Juliana
Published: November 2021

El objetivo del artículo es reflexionar acerca de la carga probatoria dinámica e iniciativa probatoria del juez en el marco de la acción popular como figuras mediante las cuales, eventualmente, se lograría la protección de derechos colectivos. La metodología empleada se basó en la revisión documental y jurisprudencial. De los resultados del artículo se destaca la prevalencia de los derechos colectivos sobre ritualidades probatorias. En este sentido, se determina que si bien los accionantes deben soportar la carga de la prueba, también es cierto que el juez debe considerar las finalidades de las acciones públicas constitucionales frente a la real protección de derechos, lo que eventualmente le implicará desplegar sus facultades oficiosas en la materia. La principal conclusión hace referencia a que la parte accionante tiene la carga de la prueba en las acciones populares en dirección a demostrar los hechos afirmados, pero hace énfasis en que, en el caso concreto, la carga probatoria puede ser distribuida por diferentes razones. Igualmente, el juez se ve llamado a adelantar su deber oficioso para decretar y practicar pruebas excepcionalmente para procurarse la tutela judicial efectiva, sin que ello implique suplir las deficiencias probatorias por falta de diligencia de las partes.

Published: November 2021

The aim of this study is to investigate context, the impact of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) on the Key Performance Indicators’ (KPIs) disclosure quality in the United Kingdom (UK). We used the UK listed firms FTSE 350 in the stock exchange market during the pre-IFRS period and the post-IFRS period (2003 to 2004, and 2006 to 2013). In particular, we examine special events such as the emergence of the 2006 UK Accounting Standard Body (ASB) Guidelines for KPIs best practice, the 2010 IFRS Management Commentary, and the phenomenon of the 2008 financial crisis. The results of this paper show that the UK’s mandatory adoption of IFRS has had a positive and significant effect on the KPIs’ disclosure quality. The results demonstrate, also, that together with the emergence of the 2006 UK ASB Guidelines, the 2008 financial crisis, and the 2010 IFRS Management Commentary have had a positive and significant influence on the quantity and quality of the KPIs’ disclosure.
Persuasion or Manipulation: A Political Discourse Study of Al-Aswany’s Op-ed Post-Revolution Articles
Authors: AbdelFattah Mona A. S. , Attia Mona Fouad
Published: November 2021

The study is concerned with Al-Aswany’s political opinion articles that
have been published since 2011 until 2014. The study investigates
whether Al-Aswany persuades or manipulates the reader. Using VanDijk’s
model, presuppositions as well as the directives in Hyland’s model of
interaction, the study aims at analyzing how Al-Aswany manipulates the
reader. Moreover, the study is set to find out whether a correlation
between the use of directives and manipulation exists.  The data used,
in this study, are drawn from Al-Aswany’s opinion articles that have
been published in Al-Masry Al-Youm newspaper. The researcher has
selected two articles from each year: 2011, 2012, 2013, and 2014.
Persuasion using Argumentative Strategies, Presuppositions and Directives in Al-Aswany's Political Op-ed Articles

Published: November 2021

The study is concerned with Al-Aswany’s political opinion articles that
have been published since 2011 until 2014. The study is concerned with
argumentative persuasion. It aims at examining how the use of
argumentative strategies, presuppositions and directives persuade the
reader into accepting the proposed arguments and analyzing the degree of
persuasion present in the text. Moreover, the study aims at examining
whether there is an attempt to manipulate the reader. The data used, in
this study, are drawn from Al-Aswany’s opinion articles that have been
published in Al-Masry Al-Youm newspaper. The researcher has selected two
articles from each year: 2011, 2012, 2013, and 2014. All in all, eight
selected articles are gathered for a qualitative analysis. The findings
of the study show that his articles are highly persuasive as he,
extensively, uses cognitive directives, establishes a common ground
through the use of topos of reality and presuppositions, evokes empathy
towards the protesters and the revolutions through humanitarianism and
justice while raising a feeling of threat/danger from Mubarak’s old
regime. Furthermore, even though the texts are highly persuasive, to
claim that there is a manipulation from Al-Aswany’s part , using these
linguistic tools and models, can not be strongly suggested.

Background The European CE Mark approval study and the MOMENTUM 3 trial
demonstrated safety and a reduction in hemocompatibility-related adverse
events with use of HeartMate 3 (HM3) device. This single center study
investigated the real-world experience in HM3 patients since FDA
approval. Methods This retrospective, observational study included
patients implanted with the HM3 LVAD as a primary implant between
October 2017-March 2020. Patients were divided into trial group
and postapproval group. Primary endpoint was survival at 6 months.
Secondary endpoints were adverse events including pump thrombosis
(requiring pump exchange), stroke, renal failure, acute limb ischemia,
re-exploratory for bleeding, gastrointestinal bleeding, right
ventricular failure, and driveline infection. Results A total of 189
patients were implanted with HM3 device during the study period. 174
patients met the inclusion criteria: 82 patients in the trial group and
92 patients in the postapproval group. The postapproval group had
younger patients, higher pre-operative mean international normalized
ratio, and greater numbers of patients with bridge to transplant (BTT)
indications, IINTERMACS profile 1, and use of mechanical assist devices
(other than IABP) than the trial group. Other characteristics between
the two groups were comparable. Overall survival at 6 months in the
postapproval group was 93.3% vs. 93.8% ( p=0.88). The
postapproval group demonstrated a statistically significant lower
incidence of re-explorative surgery for bleeding (10.9% vs 46.3, 
p=0.01) than the trial group. Conclusion In this single-center
study, the real-world 6-month survival in the postapproval group was
comparable to the trial results. Further studies are needed to monitor
long-term outcomes.
