The role of strategic memory in the successful use of the COSO model for auditing human resource management
Authors: Hussein Hussein Waleed , Khamees Luma hadi
Published: October 2021

The main purpose of the research is to diagnose the importance of the role that strategic memory plays with its three variables (content, structure, and processes) in helping the human resource department to use the COSO model with its five components (culture and governance, strategy and objectives, performance, communications and information, and feedback) in auditing activities and tasks Her own. As the research problem emphasized the existence of a lack of cognitive perception, of the importance of strategic memory, and the investment of its components in the rationalization of the application of the COSO model. and therefore it can be emphasized that the importance of the research is to provide treatments for problems related to the variables that have been studied within the research organization. As for the objectives of the research, they are represented by conducting a descriptive analysis of the investigated variables and tests of the relationship between them. To achieve the objectives of the research, use the descriptive-analytical approach. As the questionnaire was built using international indicators and standards, and it was distributed to a sample consisting of (97) members of the staff of Al-Rafidain University College. The researchers relied on some statistical tools available in the statistical program (SPSS-V23) in order to enter and process data, and the results confirmed the validity of the main and sub-research hypotheses. Accordingly, the researchers recommended the necessity of preparing all the requirements necessary to build strategic memory and then employing it in providing the human resources department with information that enables it to apply the COSO model in auditing its activities
comparison Bennett's inequality and regression in determining the optimum sample size for estimating the Net Reclassification Index (NRI) using simulation
Authors: Jasim Balasim Saadoun , MAHDI Dejela I.
Published: October 2021

Researchers have increased interest in recent years in determining the optimum sample size to obtain sufficient accuracy and estimation and to obtain high-precision parameters in order to evaluate a large number of tests in the field of diagnosis at the same time. In this research, two methods were used to determine the optimum sample size to estimate the parameters of high-dimensional data. These methods are the Bennett inequality method and the regression method. The nonlinear logistic regression model is estimated by the size of each sampling method in high-dimensional data using artificial intelligence, which is the method of artificial neural network (ANN) as it gives a high-precision estimate commensurate with the data type and type of medical study. The probabilistic values obtained from the artificial neural network are used to calculate the net reclassification index (NRI).  A program was written for this purpose using the statistical programming language (R), where the mean maximum absolute error criterion (MME) of the net reclassification network index (NRI) was used to compare the methods of specifying the sample size and the presence of the number of different default parameters in light of the value of a specific error margin (ε). To verify the performance of the methods using the comparison criteria above were the most important conclusions were that the Bennett inequality method is the best in determining the optimum sample size according to the number of default parameters and the error margin value

SOME ASPECTS OF THE NODULATION PROBLEM OCCURRING IN THE WITHER HILLS
Authors: Parle J.N.
Published: October 2021

FOR SOME YEARS NOW, J. P. Beggs, Farm Advisory Officer at Blenheim, has been concerned with problems of establishing legumes in the hill country about Blenheim. The natural cover on this country consists of an almost pure sward made up of five species of Notodanthonia. Because of the steep nature of the country, oversowing is the only practical method of pasture improvement, and this fails because legumes do not establish adequately. The writer has been interested in this problem for some time and the following is an interim report on some factors which appear to be involved.
A REVIEW OF THE CAWTHRON INSTITUTE'S WORK ON PASTURE DEVELOPMENT ON PAKIHI LANDS
Authors: Chittenden E.T.
Published: October 2021

IN THE EARLY DAYS of European settlement on the West Coast, high hopes were held for farming on the pakihi lands, for here was land with no forest to be cleared before development to pastures. All that was required to gain pastoral land was to drain the swamps, sow seed and maybe some fertilizer. How right this proved to be; but the problems of drainage were not anticipated. With a high water-table perched on an impervious humus-iron pan and negligible lateral or surface drainage, the task proved discouraging to say the least, and after initial abortive attempts most of the land was abandoned by farmers.

The influence of the shear connectors ductility on the seismic resistance of composite steel-concrete floors
Authors: Tonkikh Gennady , Chesnokov D.
Published: October 2021

According to the existing practice of composite structure design, shear connectors, which provide an interaction of supporting steel beams and reinforced concrete slabs, can be considered as ductile or non-ductile. Taking into account the ductility of connectors allows designer to create an optimal structure from an economic point of view and increase its earthquake resistance. Within the framework of this study, the results of push-testing composite specimen conducted by the authors earlier are considered. The powder-actuated shear connectors had been used for providing interaction between the steel and reinforced concrete parts. In conclusion, the assessment of the ductility and expediency of using powder-actuated shear connectors for earthquake-resistant construction is given.

The Role of Bamboo Shoot Gigantochloa Apus Extract in Decreasing the IL-17/IL-10 Ratio Level in the Atherosclerosis Process
Authors: Soesanto Edy , Pranata Satriya , Rejeki Sri , Irham Lalu Muhammad
Published: October 2021

BACKGROUND: Atherosclerosis begins with injury to the endothelial, progressive, and increases by 3% per year since the age of a person passes 20 years. The ratio of the number of pro and anti-inflammatory cytokines can describe the development of the process of atherosclerosis so that the higher the ratio will increase the chance of atherosclerosis.

AIM: The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of Bamboo shoot Gigantochloa apus (BSGA) extract on decreasing interleukin-17 (IL-17)/IL-10 level ratios in New Zealand White rabbits given an atherogenic diet.

METHODS: This study uses BSGA extract freeze-dried aged 1–2 weeks and New Zealand White rabbits. Atherogenic feed uses 0.5% egg yolk and 5% pork oil which is added to the standard feed. Randomized pre- and post-test with control group design by dividing into four groups were used in this study.

RESULTS: The mean ratio of IL-17 levels with IL-10 between before and after (p < 0.005) in all groups showed a significant difference. There was a trend of increasing the ratio between IL-17 levels and IL-10 in all groups and the highest increase occurred in the control group which was 420%.

CONCLUSION: The higher the dose of BSGA extract administration could reduce the ratio between IL-17 levels and IL-10 and there is a correlation with a negative linear pattern between IL-10 and IL-17 with p = 0.034 which means that higher levels of IL-10 will reduce IL-17 levels.

Published: October 2021

Objectibe The rate of pancreatic cell regeneration after avocado leaf extract intervention in a diabetic animal model induced by streptozotocin was investigated in this study. Method: Experimental study was conducted on 18 male white rats as subjects, which were divided into 6 groups, 3 animals of each. Those were G1 (Feed + Streptozotocin + 10% Sucrose + 100 mg/kg b.w. of extract + 0.5% NaCMC), G2 (Feed + Streptozotocin + 10% Sucrose + 150 mg/kg b.w. of extract + 0.5% NaCMC), G3 (Feed + Streptozotocin + 10% Sucrose + 200 mg/kg b.w. of extract + 0.5% NaCMC), G4 (Feed + Streptozotocin + 10% sucrose + 0.5% Na-CMC), G5 (Feed + Streptozotocin + 10% sucrose + Glibenclamid + 0.5% Na-CMC), G6 (Normal healthy animal + Feed). Results: The pancreatic cells damage in animal diabetic model, G1 = 1.67 (moderate cell damage); G2 = 1.00 (mild cell damage); G3 = 0.33 (no damage); G4 = 3.00 (severe cell damage); G5 = 0.33 (no damage); G6 = 0.33 (no damage). Conclusion: The dose of 200 mg/kg b.w. of avocado leaf extract contributed the most significant recovery of pancreatic cell of diabetic animal induced with streptozotocin, equivalent to glibenclamide.

Published: October 2021

BACKGROUND: The increase in coronavirus disease (COVID)-19 transmission cases in Indonesia has caused the government to impose restrictions on community activities with emergency PPKM since July 3, 2021. Activity restrictions prevent community from being able to meet, interact, and communicate face-to-face freely even though communication activities are very essential in human life.

AIM: This study aimed to explore and analyze the communication activities of community living in Medan City during the implementation of emergency PPKM.

METHODS: The research method used was a qualitative approach by conducting open online interviews with 20 Medan people with various backgrounds, ranging from students, traders, and formal workers to housewives. The interview was conducted personally. The data obtained were analyzed qualitatively using Nvivo12 application. To maintain the credibility of the research data, triangulation was conducted by carrying out confirmation of the research results to the informants.

RESULTS: The research results indicated that communities encountered obstacles and problems in communication activities because they cannot meet other people freely due to the activities restriction conducted by the government. The students then adjusted to the obstacles by conducting online communication to meet the needs of communication.

CONCLUSION: The communities carried out communication activities online to interact and fulfill the necessities of life. People who are inhibited from doing activities outside their homes are still looking for information about the development of COVID-19 cases and where the vaccination site is. In addition, people rely on online shopping applications for daily needs and access social media more to fill boredom because they stay at home all day.
Bachelard plus-que-kantien
Authors: Panero Alain
Published: October 2021

Libérée de l’injonction métaphysicienne de fonder la scientificité des sciences, l’entreprise criticiste prendrait chez Bachelard un nouvel éclat. En substituant à la question de l’Inconnaissable celle de la contingence de tout savoir, Bachelard renouvelle le concept de « transcendantalité ». Originairement sans pourquoi et sans but, la transcendantalité, dont l’autre nom est à présent la symbolisation mathématique, apparaît pourtant comme seule garante de toute objectivité possible. D’où la nécessité pour l’épistémologue de se faire psychanalyste du savoir.
Stratégies de localisation des entreprises commerciales et industrielles

Résumé Ce chapitre met l’accent sur l’imposition du bénéfice des sociétés qui est très différente selon les États européens. Le chapitre est organisé comme suit: nous présentons tout d’abord les grands principes de taxation du capital dans le cadre d’économies nationales intégrées dont les politiques fiscales sont interdépendantes. Nous proposons ensuite un indicateur synthétique — fondé sur la notion de coût du capital — permettant de mesurer les écarts de pression fiscale entre États concernant l’imposition du bénéfice des sociétés et le risque potentiel que de tels écarts peuvent engendrer en matière de délocalisation du capital. Nous montrons enfin que les écarts de fiscalité entre États, mesurés au moyen du coût du capital, ne permettent pas de saisir complètement le risque de concurrence fiscale entre États, celle-ci pouvant se traduire non pas par des délocalisations physiques d’établissements mais par des transferts comptables de bénéfices au profit de filiales situées dans des pays à fiscalité privilégiée. Nous discutons en conclusion des avancées en matière d’harmonisation fiscale.
Capital humain et dualisme sur le marché du travail
Authors: Perelman Sergio , Rodrigues Jorge , Wasmer Étienne
Published: October 2021

Résumé Le marché du travail est-il segmenté en diverses catégories, en différents clusters ? Pour aborder cette question, nous utilisons une démarche consistant à chercher des dimensions pouvant être interprétées comme l’appartenance à un segment d’un marché du travail dual composé de travailleurs primaires et secondaires. Cette méthode, appliquée à deux échantillons représentatifs d’employés américains et belges, fait ressortir que le segment primaire comprend en général des hommes, des adultes et des personnels qualifiés, et le segment secondaire des femmes, des jeunes et des travailleurs non qualifiés. Une interprétation de cette dimension est l’attachement au marché du travail, ce qui est vérifié par le fait que l’appartenance au segment primaire a des implications fortes sur les salaires et sur les heures travaillées. La similarité des résultats entre les deux pays s’arrête cependant à la répartition de l’emploi dans les deux segments : le segment secondaire est plus développé aux États-Unis (50 %) qu’en Belgique (30 %). Une conjecture à vérifier est que cela reflète une préférence plus marquée de la société belge pour l’emploi stable du segment primaire, peut-être au prix d’un sous-emploi des catégories du segment secondaire.

Résumé Cette étude se propose d’évaluer l’impact des programmes de formation professionnelle octroyés par le FOREM aux demandeurs d’emploi sur la probabilité de sortie du chômage (ou de manière équivalente sur la durée du chômage) en Région wallonne et sur la période 1989-1993. Nous expliquons intuitivement les problèmes méthodologiques à surmonter par le chercheur et soulignons l’importance de la prise en compte de ces problèmes : nous mettons en évidence qu’une analyse incorrecte peut renverser les conclusions. Les résultats indiquent que la formation professionnelle accélère la sortie du chômage. Une formation de 2 mois, débutant après 6 mois d’inactivité, réduit la durée médiane d’un épisode de chômage de 15 mois à 10 mois, soit une réduction d’un tiers. Au cours de la formation, le taux de sortie du chômage baisse pourtant de 27 %. La réduction de la durée de chômage vient exclusivement de l’augmentation du taux de sortie après la formation : ce taux augmente de 62 %. Toutefois, l’étude nous met en garde contre l’effet de rendements décroissants : une extension de l’offre de formation à ceux qui ne participent pas, n’aura pas d’effet aussi favorable.

Résumé Cet article propose de mettre en évidence, pour un panel de travailleurs salariés masculins, le rôle du capital humain et d’autres facteurs potentiels — tels l’âge, l’expérience, le secteur d’activité, la position sociale — sur l’emploi et le niveau des salaires en Belgique. Sur base des quatre premières vagues du PSBH (Panel Study on Belgian Households, 1992-1995), on estime la relation entre d’une part le diplôme obtenu et d’autre part le fait d’avoir un emploi ainsi que le niveau de rémunération correspondant. Les résultats obtenus mettent en évidence non seulement le rôle du niveau des études mais également celui des orientations poursuivies sur le rendement en capital humain. Ils montrent également l’existence de disparités régionales importantes tant en termes de taux d’occupation que de niveau des salaires.

Résumé Le capital humain peut être vu comme une variable dans une équation économétrique. Cependant, pour lui donner du sens et permettre l’action, il convient d’étudier ce qui se cache derrière ce concept en ne se limitant pas à des catégories, comme par exemple les diplômes, mais en essayant de dégager ce qui constitue la réelle « plus-value » liée à la possession d’un titre plus élevé dans la hiérarchie scolaire. Cette démarche, particulièrement difficile en Belgique, constitue un objet d’étude pour les psychologues et les spécialistes des sciences de l’éducation. Ce chapitre tentera de montrer comment ce travail peut être accompli et à quelles difficultés il est confronté.

Résumé L’équité et l’efficacité sont des priorités communément assignées aux systèmes éducatifs des pays occidentaux. Le but de cette contribution est de questionner la relation entre les structures scolaires et ces deux priorités. L’organisation d’un système scolaire a-t-elle des répercussions sur l’efficacité et, plus particulièrement, sur l’équité de ce dernier, équité entendue comme la capacité des systèmes scolaires à minimiser la relation de dépendance des performances scolaires des élèves par rapport à leur origine socioéconomique ? Nous posons l’hypothèse que plus un système éducatif recourt à un tronc commun long, plus il est équitable, hypothèse que nous tentons de vérifier à partir des scores obtenus par différents pays européens à l’enquête internationale réalisée en 1995 par l’IEA 1 , concernant les acquis en mathématiques et en sciences des élèves débutant l’enseignement secondaire. Dans cette contribution, nous traiterons en filigrane la question de l’efficacité, largement abordée et commentée lors de la publication des résultats de TIMSS, pour nous concentrer plus longuement sur celle de l’équité, en la confrontant aux structures scolaires.

Résumé L’avènement de l’ère de l’information et de la communication a mis en évidence l’importance du nouveau facteur de création de richesse que constitue la connaissance. L’émergence de ce phénomène pose de sérieux problèmes conceptuels et rend d’autant plus difficile la mise en œuvre d’actions adéquates. La Commission européenne a mis en place un programme ambitieux pour relever ces nouveaux défis, en s’attachant tout d’abord à répertorier les concepts et modèles théoriques centrés sur la connaissance avant d’explorer des pistes pour répondre à l’épineux problème posé par la mesure des ressources liées à la connaissance, afin de promouvoir la formation professionnelle au sein des entreprises. Il apparaît que les actions à mettre en œuvre reposent principalement sur une meilleure transparence du capital intellectuel, dont le capital humain n’est qu’un des aspects, afin de mieux impliquer tous les acteurs économiques concernés par le développement des ressources humaines.

Résumé S’inscrivant dans le débat sur l’origine des disparités de croissance entre la Wallonie et la Flandre, cette étude poursuit deux objectifs. En premier lieu, elle apporte des éléments de comparaison régionale sur l’acquisition de capital humain, qu’il s’agisse des dépenses d’enseignement, du nombre et de la qualité des diplômes, ou des dépenses en recherche et développement. L’étude vise ensuite à situer le capital humain dans un ensemble plus vaste de facteurs susceptibles d’expliquer les disparités régionales de la croissance, tels que les investissements, le marché du travail et les ressources naturelles, ou encore le rôle exercé par les pouvoirs publics.
Capital humain et dualisme sur le marché du travail

Published: October 2021

Résumé La présente étude propose une analyse empirique de la convergence régionale au Canada fondée sur le modèle de croissance d’une économie ouverte avec parfaite mobilité des capitaux de Barro, Mankiw et Sala-I-Martin (1995). L’impossibilité pour un débiteur de mettre son capital humain en nantissement limite la capacité d’une économie d’emprunter à l’étranger. La dynamique d’accumulation du capital humain devient alors le moteur de la croissance économique agrégée. Comme l’établit la théorie, un ensemble d’indicateurs de capital humain a convergé à une vitesse similaire à différentes mesures de revenu par habitant durant la période 1951-1996. Une partie importante de la croissance relative des provinces canadiennes s’explique par la croissance relative du stock de capital humain mesuré par la proportion de la population des deux sexes, ou des hommes seulement, ayant obtenu un diplôme universitaire.

Le droit fiscal au service de la protection du patrimoine
Authors: Luppi Philippe
Published: October 2021

Le patrimoine est une source de recettes fiscales. Mais les moyens financiers qui lui sont alloués (notamment en faveur du patrimoine historique) se sont réduits aussi bien pour l’État que pour les collectivités territoriales. Face à ces contraintes, la préservation du patrimoine doit répondre à un double défi : maintenir les dépenses fiscales existantes et lui apporter des mesures de sécurisation fiscale. Ces dispositifs anciens, dérogatoires au droit commun, ont fait l’objet de divers aménagements législatifs et de mesures de prorogation afin de garantir l’apport de financements privés (dons, régime du mécénat). Les aménagements les plus récents nous laissent néanmoins dubitatifs. La valorisation du patrimoine passe désormais par diverses mesures de sécurisation fiscale visant à pérenniser les financements, à évaluer les dépenses fiscales et à créer de nouveaux rescrits.

A study to evaluate the change in perfusion index as an indicator of successful ultrasound-guided supraclavicular block
Authors: Lal Jatin , Bhardwaj Mamta , Malik Aanchal , Bansal Teena
Published: October 2021

Background and Aims:

Perfusion index (PI) is a new simple, objective and non-invasive method for evaluation of the success of central neuraxial and peripheral nerve blocks. So, we conducted a study with an aim to evaluate PI as an indicator for success of ultrasound-guided supraclavicular block (SCB).

Methods:

65 patients of either sex, age 18–60 years, American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status I and II posted for upper limb surgery under ultrasound (US)-guided SCB were included. PI was recorded at baseline every 2 minutes till 10 minutes and then every 5 minutes till 30 minutes after block. PI ratio was calculated as the ratio between PI at 10 minutes and baseline PI. Sensory and motor blocks were assessed at 5-minutes intervals up to 30 minutes. Descriptive analysis was applied by mean and standard deviation for quantitative, frequency and proportion for categorical variables.

Results:

Mean PI increased continuously from baseline and reached the maximum at 10 minutes and then slightly decreased up to 30 minutes, but values at subsequent time intervals were quite high as compared to baseline. In case of successful blocks, median PI started increasing 2 minutes after the block and then increased in a linear fashion till 10 minutes, whereas in case of failed blocks, it only increased minimally.

Conclusion:

PI is an objective and faster indicator for evaluating success of US-guided SCB. A cut-off value of 3.25 for PI and 3.03 for PI ratio showed a fairly good ability with high sensitivity and specificity for predicting the success of SCB.

This was a retrospective observational study conducted at the Department of ear, nose, and throat-Head and Neck Surgery, Institute of Medicine, Kathmandu, Nepal. We analyzed the record data of all the cochlear implants from January 2015 to December 2019 for the visibility of RWM, RWN, and associated surgical difficulties in different age groups. RWM visibility was classified as; Grade I (>50% of RWM is visible), Grade II (25%–50% of RWM is visible), Grade III (<25% of RWM is visible), and Grade IV (RWM is not visible). Similarly, RWN visibility was classified as; Type A (difficult to visualize), Type B (partially visible), and Type C (fully visible). Our final sample size was 81.

Results:

The most common variant of RWN and RWM was Type C (37 cases) and Grade IV (37 cases), respectively, in the age group of <15 years. In cases >15 years, Type B (eight cases) was the most common variant of RWN and Type II (six cases) was the most common variant of RWM. There was a statistically significant association between the visibility of the RWN and RWM and the visibility of RWN and different levels of surgical difficulty (P < 0.05).

Conclusions:

Type C RWN and Type IV RWM were the most common variants found, mostly seen in the pediatric population. With poorer visibility of RWN, RWM visibility decreases, increasing the difficulty level of the surgery.

Introduction:

Antibiotic resistance is a major challenge in managing patients with chronic inflammation of the middle ear cleft in our facility. This is also a concern in many sub-Saharan African and Asian countries. Many secondary and primary health facilities lack the services of trained ear nose and throat nurses, and it is rare to have an otorhinolarynogologist in these centers. To reduce the risks of antibiotics resistance and complications from middle ear cleft infection, there is a need to know the pattern of microbial susceptibility to facilitate the selection of antibiotics in treating patients with chronic otitis media in the region.

Methodology:

We carried out a prospective, hospital-based study in a secondary health facility in Makurdi, North-Central Nigeria, for 11 months from August 2018 to July 2019. One hundred and twelve patients of all age groups with chronically discharging ear (s) were consecutively recruited for the study. Ear swabs were carefully taken from the middle ear using sterile swab sticks and quickly taken for microscopy culture and sensitivity. The results were analyzed using IBM-SPSS version 20.

Results:

One hundred and twelve patients were recruited with ages ranging from <1 year to 56 years. Nearly 57.1% were female and 42.9% were male. Thirty-two (28.6%) of the swab taken yielded no growth. Pseudomonas spp. was the most frequent isolate (50%), and Staphylococcus, Klebsiella, and Streptococcus spp. isolated in 10.7%, 7.1%, and 3.6%, respectively. Pseudomonas, Streptococcus, and Klebsiella spp. had the highest susceptibility to ciprofloxacin (88%–98%); only 50% by Staphylococcus spp. Gentamicin was effective against all the isolates (70%–97%). All four isolates also showed moderate-to-high susceptibility to levofloxacin and pefloxacin; organisms showed least sensitivity to ofloxacin (30%–58%).

Conclusion:

Pseudomonas spp. is the most common isolate in chronic otitis media patients in this subregion, with excellent susceptibility to ciprofloxacin (98%). All isolates had a good level of susceptibility to the commonly used topical antibiotics, except for ofloxacin (30%–58%). More studies should be done at intervals to note any change in microbial isolates and susceptibility pattern, this will enhance success in treating chronic otitis media.

Optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) of quartz obtained from ceramics, concrete, and soil has been studied extensively for its use in retrospective dosimetry. The OSL properties of quartz separated from surface soil of different parts of India were investigated for its application as a retrospective dosimeter. Different parameters such as recuperation, recycling ratio, equivalent dose plateau, and relevant to single-aliquot regenerative protocol were investigated. The dose recovery tests were also performed. These studies show that the soil samples can be used for dose evaluation during any radiation accident.

Let the finite group G act transitively and non-regularly on a finite set whose cardinality |Ω| is greater than one. Use N to denote the full set of fixed-point-free elements of G acting on along with the identity element. Write H to denote the stabilizer of some α ∈ Ω in G. In the note, it is proved that the subset N is a subgroup of G if and only if G is a Frobenius group. It is also proved G = {N}H, where {N} is the subgroup of G generated by N.
Direitos Humanos
Authors: Person Ediana Grenzel
Published: October 2021

O presente estudo tem por escopo indicar o surgimento, o percurso, a fundamentação e o reconhecimento dos direitos do homem, baseado em pesquisas bibliográficas, principalmente da obra “O Fim dos Direitos Humanos”, de Costas Douzinas, e da obra “Era dos Direitos”, de Norberto Bobbio, com o aporte de outros pensadores da mesma importância. No ponto, tem-se que homem evolui ao longo da história e com ele, a sociedade. De um paradigma fragmentário e reducionista, para os quais as partes eram mais importante do que o todo, de acordo com os estudos de Newton e Descartes, passou-se para a ideia de integralidade, acrescentando-se ética e moralidade ao conhecimento científico. Paralelamente a essa mudança, os movimentos sociais serviram de palco para a evolução dos direitos humanos, desde os de primeira geração, passando pelos de segunda e de terceira geração, até aqueles pós-modernos, baseados nos conceitos de solidariedade e fraternidade. O advento da Declaração Universal dos Direitos Humanos, por sua vez, pôs fim a discussão sobre a fundamentação dos direitos do homem, dando indicativos que encontrar um fundamento para os direitos homem não é condição para que eles sejam respeitados. Por fim, faz-se uma críticaa respeito dos rumos a serem seguidos pelos direitos humanos, partindo-se da premissa da proliferação de leis que visam proteger cada vez mais as mínimas peculiaridades dos indivíduos, e levando-se em conta de que cada vez que apenas um grupo determinado de pessoas se beneficia com as leis, os demais têm os seus direitos restringidos.
EFEKTI PRIMENE GEOMETRIJSKIH MODELA REŠAVANJA PROBLEMA U RAZREDNOJ NASTAVI

The paper deals with practical application of geometric models at different levels, in which individual abilities of pupils are conditioned by mental differences, as well as the necessity and reasons for applying the models in early mathematics education. Different models of learning and teaching are applied to groups of students of different abilities and attributes, with the aim of achieving better results than in traditional teaching. When applying this method of teach- ing it should be taken into account that students have different attitudes, abilities and learning preferences. Solving problems through modeling enables students to find in their memory adequate mathematical knowledge and connect it with reality by constructing suitable models and algorithms. In that way, algorithmic and creative thinking is developed, which will be used in the modeling new prob- lem situations. The benefit of this model of differentiated teaching geometry contents (through problem-based teaching) is reflected in the fact that the teaching of mathematics is made more diverse and dynamic, and therefore more efficient.

Published: October 2021

A osteoartrite (OA) é doença de alta prevalência e um dos diagnósticos mais frequentes nas consultas de reumatologia. Acomete mais as mulheres, com aumento progressivo após os 40-45 anos. Essa prevalência aumentará ainda mais nas próximas décadas, como consequência do envelhecimento da população. No Brasil, a OA acomete 4,1% dos indivíduos em uma população com idade média de 36 anos e 15,8% aos 55 anos. Esses números correspondem apenas aos casos com manifestações clínicas. Se forem considerados os achados radiográficos, 52% da população adulta apresentam sinais de OA de joelho, e destes, 20% apresentam quadro moderado ou grave; na faixa dos 55 aos 64 anos de idade, 85% apresentam sinais radiográficos de OA em uma ou mais articulações e acima dos 85 anos a prevalência da doença radiográfica alcança os 100%.
A OA é causa frequente de afastamento do trabalho e foi o quinto diagnóstico mais comum na concessão de aposentadoria por invalidez em 2014, segundo dados do portal da Previdência Social. Além disso, é uma causa comum de dor crônica e redução de qualidade de vida em idosos.

Purpose: Millet is a major food source in the arid and semi-arid parts of the world especially among people with low socio-economic status. It is a good source of energy, protein, minerals, dietary Fibre, fatty acid, amino acid (especially sulphur containing amino acid), phytochemicals and a good source of antioxidant.

Methods: The millet varieties were obtained from the central market in Katsina state, Nigeria. The millet varieties (finger and pearl millet) were cleaned by washing in water, de-watered, sun dried, milled into flour and stored in sealed polythene bags. Standard method were used to determine the phytochemical, atomic absorption spectrometer, amino acid profile was determined spectrometically using a gas chromatography (GC), antioxidant property was measured by determination of free radical scavenging ability (DPPH,FRAP and ABTS) and data was analyzed by one way analysis of variance (ANOVA) using SPSS (16.0) software. The result obtained from studied millet varieties showed the fatty acid profile contain more than 70% unsaturated fatty acid. Amino acid profile showed the presence of essential amino acid of nutritional importance (especially the sulphur containing amino acids). 

Results: The results obtained from the studied millet varieties showed a protein content level within the range of (10.09%-10.85%), fat content level between the range (2.76%-4.43%), carbohydrate, fat and ash content between the range (71.56% - 73.18%), (2.23% - 3.24%) and (0.86% - 1.94%) respectively. The mineral composition showed it contained mineral elements of health importance, such as; phosphorus, calcium, potassium, sodium and magnesium as well as other minor elements such as copper, manganese, zinc and iron. Phytochemical analyses showed the presence of plant chemical such as; tannin, terpenoid, alkaloid, cardiac glycoside, saponin, oxalate, phytate, flavonoids and total phenol. Antioxidant analyses showed they possess ability to serve as reducing agent hence a rich source of antioxidant of health importance.

Unique contribution to theory, practice and policy: The study revealed a high nutritional quality and possible therapeutic effect of the studied millet varieties which are locally sourced and relatively cheaper source of food for a teeming population like ours.
