Contributory Pension Scheme and Insurance Industry’s Equity Investments in Nigeria
Authors: Odo Cosmas Ogobuchi , Okeke Chinedu Crescent , Okoro Deborah Patience
Published: October 2022

The paper explores the nexus between contributory pension and growth of the Nigerian insurance industry. Proxies for insurance industry growth were taken as direct premium generated and growth of its investments, especially equity investments. Given that equity investment was one of the prescribed investment outlets for insurance industry funds in Nigeria, authors hypothesized that the contributory pension Act of 2014 would spur rapid growth in equity investments of the industry for the period investigated.  Ex-post facto research design was followed and data were drawn from the annual accounts and reports of National Insurance Commission, NAICOM, and publications of Pension Regulatory Commission, PENCOM, National Bureau of Statistics, NBC, and Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, for the period, 2005-2015. Ordinary Least Square (OLS) was the estimation method, whereas techniques for data analysis included Multi-Regression model, t-test statistic, adjusted coefficient of determination and F-statistic. The result of the tests showed that contributory pension has positive and significant impact on the insurance industry’s equity investments (p<0.05). Clearly, reform of pension industry led to rapid increases in the equity investments of the insurance industry but limited only by statutory ceiling on equity investments and what sound prudence dictates.
Open Letter to the International Criminal Court Alleging United Nations Complicity in Planetary Treason
Authors: Herndon J. Marvin , Whiteside Mark , Baldwin Ian
Published: October 2022

We provide a preponderance of evidence that worldwide covert environmental modification (geoengineering) activities have been ongoing for several decades, citing numerous peer-reviewed scientific and medical articles and other sources in support of our allegation that such activities are causing innumerable harms to Earth’s systems. These harms include, but are not limited to, catastrophic loss of wildlife, aggravation of global warming and climate chaos; disruption of habitats; aggravation of droughts and concomitant degradation of agriculture; and depletion of stratospheric ozone, which exposes surface life to deadly solar ultraviolet radiation. In 1978 the United Nations (UN) oversaw the creation of the Convention on the Prohibition of Military or Other Hostile Use of Environmental Modification Techniques (ENMOD), a deliberately vague and deceitful international treaty that has served as a Trojan horse to provide a “legal” basis for subsequent worldwide geoengineering activities (as described herein). Since the creation of the UN Environmental Program (UNEP) in 1972, the UN and some of its other agencies, including the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), and the World Health Organization (WHO), has formally committed itself to the integrity of the planetary environment. We appeal to the International Criminal Court to render judgement in favor of the world’s individual citizens, whose fundamental rights have been abrogated by planetary geoengineering, as herein documented. We respectfully request the following relief from the International Criminal Court: 1) Immediate and permanent end to the ENMOD Convention; 2) Permanent global injunction on all activities undertaken under ENMOD’s authority; 3) Declassification of all documents related to ENMOD activities as well as making all such documents freely available to the world; 4) Establishment of a legal body, fashioned after the International Military Tribunal at Nuremburg, to hear evidence and render justice for planetary treason and crimes against humanity and the environment.
Categorical crystals for quantum affine algebras
Authors: Kashiwara Masaki , Park Euiyong
Published: October 2022

In this paper, a new categorical crystal structure for the quantum affine algebras is presented. We introduce the notion of extended crystalsB^𝔤⁢(∞){\widehat{B}_{{\mathfrak{g}}}(\infty)}for an arbitrary quantum groupUq⁢(𝔤){U_{q}({\mathfrak{g}})}, which is the product of infinite copies of the crystalB⁢(∞){B(\infty)}. For a complete duality datum𝒟{{\mathcal{D}}}in the Hernandez–Leclerc category𝒞𝔤0{{\mathscr{C}_{\mathfrak{g}}^{0}}}of a quantum affine algebraUq′⁢(𝔤){U_{q}^{\prime}({\mathfrak{g}})}, we prove that the setℬ𝒟⁢(𝔤){\mathcal{B}_{{\mathcal{D}}}({\mathfrak{g}})}of the isomorphism classes of simple modules in𝒞𝔤0{{\mathscr{C}_{\mathfrak{g}}^{0}}}has an extended crystal structure isomorphic toB^𝔤fin⁢(∞){\widehat{B}_{{{\mathfrak{g}}_{\mathrm{fin}}}}(\infty)}. An explicit combinatorial description of the extended crystalℬ𝒟⁢(𝔤){\mathcal{B}_{{\mathcal{D}}}({\mathfrak{g}})}for affine typeAn(1){A_{n}^{(1)}}is given in terms of affine highest weights.

Túrkeve-Terehalom in the Eastern Carpathian Basin. Bronze Age multi-stratified site provides high-precision chronology with continental implications
Authors: Daróczi Tibor-Tamás , Csányi Marietta , Tárnoki Judit , Nagy Fanni , Olsen Jesper
Published: October 2022

The multi-stratified site of Túrkeve-Terehalom presents an exceptional opportunity to establish the start and the end of the Middle Bronze Age in the Eastern Carpathian Basin and to refine its inner chronology. The chronological potential of the site rests on the meticulous excavation campaigns over a decade. This potential has been harvested by linking stratified finds, particularly pottery, to narrow, calibrated age-ranges. The result has implications for local chronology while also prompting questions about how to synchronise long-range connectivity with central and northern Europe and the Aegean, as well. The resulting chronological model for Túrkeve-Terehalom firstly challenges prevailing chronological views regarding the life-spans of Bronze Age structures with beaten clay floors, secondly the direction of the wave of destruction and/or abandonment of multi-stratified sites in the Carpathian Basin, and thirdly the continental networking during the Middle Bronze Age.

A fénykép mint mise en abyme – „prózafordulat”, fotó a mise en abyme tükröződésében
Authors: Visy Beatrix
Published: October 2022

A tanulmány az eredetileg képzőművészethez kapcsolódó jelenség, a mise en abyme szépirodalmi működését vizsgálja. A fogalmi, elméleti megközelítés rávilágít arra is, hogy a mise en abyme mint a narráción belüli öntükröző alakzat gyakran vizuális narrációként vagy képleírásként, ekphrasziszként van jelen a műben. A fotográfiában a valóság és „tükröződése” még bonyolultabb kérdéseket vet fel, a fénykép irodalmi művekben való felbukkanása pedig gyakran hatással van a narrációra, a próza egyes jegyeire. A fényképek több alkalommal is a szöveg öntükröző alakzataiként ragadhatók meg, a képen látható kiragadott pillanat (punctum) a mű csomópontját adja, s a fotó nem egyszer metaforikus, szimbolikus erővel sűríti magába az egész történet lényegét, elvont-lényegi jelentését. Különösen fontos és termékeny összefüggéseket mutat mindez a magyar irodalomban a 70-es, 80-as évek prózai átalakulásával, az úgynevezett prózafordulat jelenségeivel és intermediális vonásaival.A tanulmány három különböző szerző (Mészöly Miklós, Bereményi Géza, Závada Pál) művében vizsgálja a fénykép szerepét, jelentőségét. Mindhárom csoportkép, és mindhárom, más-más tartalmi, gondolati kérdést mozgósítva, a regény mise en abyme-jaként értelmezhető.

Generation X, Y, and Z Preferences for Car-Sharing in Different Situations
Authors: Pelech Pavel , Holendová Julie
Published: October 2022

The aim of this article is to assess the influence of different generations (X, Y, and Z) on their willingness to prefer a shared car to their own car in specifically defined situations. The research was conducted from December 2021 to March 2022 and involved 741 respondents, equally distributed among the three generations analyzed. The findings of the research suggest that different generations of respondents will not have different preferences for using car sharing in different situations. Significant differences between generations were only found in the situation where car-sharing would be preferred on the way to school or work. In other cases, no significant dependence between generations was shown. All generations of respondents can imagine using a car share more regularly during travel and entertainment, but not so much with children to clubs or when shopping and running errands at the authorities. This fact can be useful for marketers who need to discern the motives for customer participation in the sharing economy or the car-sharing segment. At the same time, marketing knowledge in connection with the sharing economy will be enhanced.
Phenomenological Strands for Gaming Disorder and Esports Play: A Qualitative Registered Report
Authors: Karhulahti Veli-Matti , Siutila Miia , Vahlo Jukka , Koskimaa Raine
Published: October 2022

The recent inclusion of gaming disorder in the ICD-11 as a mental disorder has further increased the importance of researching the health spectrum related to gaming. A critical area in this regard is the lack of clarity concerning the differences between gaming disorder and intensive play, the latter of which often involves several gaming hours per day without related health problems. In this study, we approached the above question by interpretive phenomenological analysis with interviews in two groups of highly involved videogame players: those who seek or have sought clinical help for their problems with gaming (n=6), and those who play esports more than 4 hours per day without self-reported related health problems (n=10). The interviews were carried out by using a new Phenomenology of Play (POP) interview frame. These data were contextualized with interviews of medical experts (n=6) who have experience of working with the former group. The findings imply that experiences of disorder derive from gaming interfering with what one wants to be, do, and have throughout life, whereas the experiences of intensive esport play derive from gaming being integrated into self throughout life. To our knowledge, this was the first registered report using qualitative phenomenological methods—we encourage researchers to explore the utility of registered reports with other qualitative methods to further optimize scientific progress.

Lactate is a central metabolite in brain physiology but also contributes to tumor development. Glioblastoma (GB) is the most common and malignant primary brain tumor in adults, recognized by angiogenic and invasive growth, in addition to its altered metabolism. We show herein that lactate fuels GB anaplerosis by replenishing the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle in absence of glucose. Lactate dehydrogenases (LDHA and LDHB), which we found spatially expressed in GB tissues, catalyze the interconversion of pyruvate and lactate. However, ablation of both LDH isoforms, but not only one, led to a reduction in tumor growth and an increase in mouse survival. Comparative transcriptomics and metabolomics revealed metabolic rewiring involving high oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) in the LDHA/B KO group which sensitized tumors to cranial irradiation, thus improving mouse survival. When mice were treated with the antiepileptic drug stiripentol, which targets LDH activity, tumor growth decreased. Our findings unveil the complex metabolic network in which both LDHA and LDHB are integrated and show that the combined inhibition of LDHA and LDHB strongly sensitizes GB to therapy.
El estado de conservación del paisaje de Galicia: veinte años después de la aprobación del Convenio Europeo del Paisaje
Authors: De Luaces Alfonso , Schröder Karsten
Published: October 2022

El trabajo analiza los cambios y trasformaciones que afectan a la configuración y transformación del paisaje gallego tras los 22 años transcurridos desde la firma del Convenio Europeo del Paisaje. El balance del mismo, debe considerarse como negativo, dada la deficiente protección que se realiza sobre la biodiversidad, el patrimonio natural y cultural de Galicia, donde la superficie declarada como área natural protegida no alcanza el 15%, quedando lejos de los parámetros fijados en la Estrategia de Biodiversidad de la Unión Europea. Los paisajes tradicionales gallegos, han continuado y acelerado el proceso de desnaturalización y transformación iniciado a mediados del siglo XX. Como signos de este proceso destacan la expansión de cultivos intensivos de recursos genéticos alóctonos (Pinus, Eucalyptus, etc), así como el desarrollo irracional de áreas grises y edificaciones rurales y urbanas, efectuadas a costa de destruir elementos singulares del paisaje, y sin medidas de corrección y minimización del impacto paisajístico. Esta anómala situación pone en jaque la posibilidad el que las futuras generaciones puedan contemplar y disfrutar de paisajes bien conservados y de alto valor ambiental, perdiéndose la posibilidad de aprovechar de forma racional y sostenible un recurso vital para el beneficio de la sociedad.

Effect of using laser incising treatment and fire-retardant coating on Larix kaempferi wood to improve fire retardant performance
Authors: Yang Myung Sun , Han Yeonjung , Son Dong Won
Published: October 2022

To improve fire-retardant performance of Japanese larch (Larix kaempferi) wood, this study analyzed the effect of pinholes made by laser incising and fire retardant (FR) coating on the surface of Japanese larch wood. Combustion properties such as peak heat release rate (PHRR) and total heat release (THR) of Japanese larch and Korean red pine (Pinus densiflora) wood without FRs showed similar tendencies. The comparison of the combustion properties on wood injected with an inorganic water-soluble FR under vacuum revealed that the PHRR and the THR of Korean red pine wood decreased by 37 and 62%, respectively. FR was injected into the Japanese larch specimens with pinholes on the surface and additionally coated with 5% sodium silicate and 35% potassium bromide. The results indicated a 16 to 25 and 19% reduction in PHRR and THR, respectively, compared to those without the FR. Despite the pinholes and FR coating, the FR employed in this study did not meet the standards set in Korea (THR of 8 MJ/m2). This study serves as a reference for future studies on the application of pressurized conditions and other surface treatments to improve the FR percent injection and performance of Japanese larch wood.
Debatable Aspects of the Concept of Tax Expenditures
Authors: Sokolovska Alla , Zatonatska Tetiana
Published: October 2022

Despite the implementation of the concept of tax expenditures in the budgetary practice of many countries, theoretical studies of tax expenditures as a basis for their identification and quantification are still relevant. The emergence and development of the concept is accompanied by heated discussions about definition of normativе (benchmark) structure of tax and tax expenditures, as well as the classification of their individual elements. As a result, there is no uniform approach to defining the conceptual model of benchmark structure. This complicates the introduction of the concept of tax expenditures in those countries that set such a task for themselves, as well as their comparative qualitative and quantitative analysis in different countries. The purpose of this article is to generalize and further develop scientific approaches to determining the benchmark structure of the tax and its individual elements, as well as tax benefits and tax expenditures. The main results of this study are the classification of the main elements of the basic structure of the tax into groups and justification of their role in the identification of tax expenditures; defining “structural benefits” and “basic tax structure”; analysis of the report on other tax benefits in Ukraine and determination of the place and role of “structural benefits” in it.
ПОСИЛЕННЯ ВАЛЮТНОГО РЕГУЛЮВАННЯ В УКРАЇНІ В УМОВАХ ЕСКАЛАЦІЇ ВОЄННИХ ДІЙ
Authors: БУБЛИК Євген
Published: October 2022

Обґрунтовано актуальність використання потенціалу валютно-курсового регулювання в Україні в умовах війни і повоєнної економічної відбудови. На прикладі заходів валютного регулювання НБУ в умовах війни підтверджено дієвість валютних обмежень у частині тамування панічних і спекулятивних настроїв, утримання національного капіталу від втечі й загальної стабілізації обмінного курсу національної валюти. Відзначено, що ефективність заходів із стабілізації валютного курсу могла б бути вищою, якби вони реалізовувалися в рамках дієвої системи валютного регулювання.
На підставі даних платіжного балансу України показано джерела девальваційного тиску у вигляді торговельних кредитів за кордон, імпорту послуг, знятті готівкової валюти з гривневих карткових рахунків. Окреслено ознаки порушення структури платіжного балансу через зменшення доходів від експорту продукції та грошових переказів при їх заміщенні міжнародною фінансовою допомогою.
Виявлені загрози підтверджують необхідність розбудови вітчизняної системи валютно-курсового регулювання і валютного нагляду для запобігання виведенню національного капіталу, обмеження спекулятивного і панічного попиту на іноземну валюту й збільшення пропозиції на валютному ринку. Зазначено, що посилення заходів із стабілізації національної валюти цілком відповідає актуальним поглядам науковців, рекомендаціям міжнародних фінансових інституцій і вимогам євроінтеграції, тим більше, зважаючи на обставини війни.
Концептуалізовано першочергові напрями розбудови системи валютно-курсового регулювання, що включають офіційне визнання необхідності такої системи і розширення функціоналу системи валютного нагляду, акцент на обмеженні спекулятивного й панічного попиту, боротьбу з напівлегальними шляхами виведення капіталу за кордон. Ефективний інструментарій такого регулювання повинен включати широкий спектр заходів, у тому числі з використанням інструментів макропруденційної політики, контролю за потоками капіталу і валютних інтервенцій на довгостроковій основі, оперативного використання адміністративних вимог для закриття виявлених шляхів уникнення встановлених обмежень.
Physician Health and Wellness
Authors: McClafferty Hilary H. , Hubbard Dena K. , Foradori Dana , Brown Melanie L. , Profit Jochen , Tawfik Daniel S. ,   SECTION ON INTEGRATIVE MEDICINE
Published: October 2022

Physician health and wellness is a complex topic relevant to all pediatricians. Survey studies have established that pediatricians experience burnout at comparable rates to colleagues across medical specialties. Prevalence of burnout increased for all pediatric disciplines from 2011 to 2014. During that time, general pediatricians experienced a more than 10% increase in burnout, from 35.3% to 46.3%. Pediatric medical subspecialists and pediatric surgical specialists experienced slightly higher baseline rates of burnout in 2011 and similarly increased to just under 50%. Women currently constitute a majority of pediatricians, and surveys report a 20% to 60% higher prevalence of burnout in women physicians compared with their male counterparts. The purpose of this report is to update the reader and explore approaches to pediatrician well-being and reduction of occupational burnout risk throughout the stages of training and practice. Topics covered include burnout prevalence and diagnosis; overview of national progress in physician wellness; update on physician wellness initiatives at the American Academy of Pediatrics; an update on pediatric-specific burnout and well-being; recognized drivers of burnout (organizational and individual); a review of the intersection of race, ethnicity, gender, and burnout; protective factors; and components of wellness (organizational and individual). The development of this clinical report has inevitably been shaped by the social, cultural, public health, and economic factors currently affecting our communities. The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has layered new and significant stressors onto medical practice with physical, mental, and logistical challenges and effects that cannot be ignored.
Catecholaminergic Polymorphic Ventricular Tachycardia
Authors: Abbas Mohamed , Miles Chris , Behr Elijah
Published: October 2022

Catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT) is an inherited arrhythmia syndrome characterised by adenergically mediated bidirectional and/or polymorphic ventricular tachycardia. CPVT is a significant cause of autopsy-negative sudden death in children and adolescents, although it can also affect adults. It is often caused by pathogenic variants in the cardiac ryanodine receptor gene as well as other rarer genes. Early identification and risk stratification is of major importance. β-blockers are the cornerstone of therapy. Sodium channel blockers, specifically flecainide, have an additive role. Left cardiac sympathetic denervation is playing an increasing role in suppression of arrhythmia and symptoms. Concerns have been raised, however, about the efficacy of implantable cardioverter defibrillator therapy and the risk of catecholamine driven proarrhythmic storms. In this review, we summarise the clinical characteristics, genetics, and diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for CPVT and describe recent advances and challenges.

A COVID–19 miatt bevezetett távolléti/hibrid oktatás első három félévének során tananyagfejlesztést végeztünk a Károli Gáspár Református Egyetem Pszichológiai Intézetében a matematikai statisztika tárgy keretei között. A pszichológus alap- és mesterképzés hallgatói esetében az oktatási keretrendszer folyamatos naplózása lehetővé tette, hogy összesített statisztikák segítségével megfigyeléseket tegyünk. Az időszak végén a mesterképzéses hallgatóktól Q-módszertan (Stephenson 1953) szerinti preferenciaértékelést is kértünk, hogy az általuk alkalmazott e-learning stratégiákról képet alkothassunk. Ennek segítségével azonosítani tudtunk három eltérő tanulási stratégiát (önálló tanulás, gyakorlatorientált tanulás erős oktatói támogatással, elméletorientált tanulás), melyek a felkínált tartalmakat eltérő módon használták ki. Ez indokolja, hogy ezen anyagok elérését továbbra is biztosítsuk a hallgatók számára.
A tudomány globalizációja
Authors: Kwiek Marek
Published: October 2022

A nemzeti tudományos rendszerek beágyazódtak a globális tudományba, és az országok mindent megtesznek azért, hogy a globális tudást a nemzetgazdasági szükségletek érdekében használják fel. A globális tudás gazdagsága azonban csak a tudósokon keresztül férhető hozzá és használható fel. Ebből adódóan a nemzetek kutatási ereje az egyes tudósok kutatási erején és nemzetközi együttműködési képességén múlik. A globális tudomány folyamatosan fejlődő, alulról felfelé irányuló, autonóm és önszabályozó természete mélyebb megértést igényel. Empirikus szempontból a tudomány globalizációját a 2000–2020 közötti időszak válogatott publikációs, együttműködési és idézettségi adatainak felhasználásával írjuk le. A tudomány globalizációja a két különböző rendszertípusban különböző folyamatot takar. A tudomány növekedése a nyugati világban szinte teljes egészében a nemzetközi társszerzős publikációkban megy végbe. A fejlődő világban ezzel szemben a növekedés a nemzetközi társszerzős és a hazai publikációk körében egyaránt zajlik.
Izomorfizmus a társadalomtudományi publikációs gyakorlatban
Authors: Primecz Henriett , Baksa Máté
Published: October 2022

A társadalomtudományi területen megjelenő tudományos publikációk egyre inkább hasonlóvá válnak egymáshoz. Cikkünk célja, hogy megvizsgáljuk ezt a trendet, feltárjuk okait és következményeit. Elméleti keretként az intézményi szociológia makroinstitucionalista megközelítését alkalmazzuk. Széles körű tapasztalatunk szerint a tudományos folyóiratok szerkesztői és bírálói arra törekszenek, hogy a cikkek azonos formai standardoknak feleljenek meg, ennek következtében pedig a cikkek egységesülnek tartalmuk, logikájuk és felépítésük szempontjából is. Ezen szerkesztőségi törekvéseket különösen erősíti az, hogy a tudományosság kritériumai objektívnak tűnnek, holott ezek az intézményi szociológia megközelítése szerint egy tudományos közösség társas konstrukciójaként jönnek létre. Akár a tudományosság mítoszának is tekinthetjük azokat a kritériumokat, amelyeket a szerkesztők és bírálók elvárnak, és amelyek az izomorfizmus irányában hatnak.

A tanulmány arra vállalkozik, hogy kritika tárgyává tegye mind 1) a globális egyenlőtlenségek újratermelését eredményező centrális akadémiai nemzetköziesítést, mely figyelmen kívül hagyja egyes földrajzi-gazdasági régiók hátrányos megkülönböztetését, mind pedig 2) a hazai akadémiai minősítési rendszereket (a spanyol ANECA, valamint a lengyel IDUB jó gyakorlatainak kontrasztjában), minthogy azok a rendszerben lévő instabilitás, átláthatatlanság és az informalitások túlzott szerepének következtében akadályozzák a nemzetközi kutatási közösségbe történő szerves integrációt, a felsőoktatási intézmények nemzetközi versenyképességét, és kiszámíthatatlanná teszik az egyéni, kiváltképp a fiatal, kutatók életútját. E két kritikai perspektíva egyesítésével amellett érvelünk, hogy a globális egyenlőtlenségek kritikája és az önkritikus megújulás sürgetése nem ellentétes gondolatok – mint ahogyan azok narratívái a hazai akadémiai diskurzusban gyakran megjelennek –, hanem az egyetlen, valódi változáshoz segítő dinamika két, egymással kölcsönösen összefüggő oldalát írják le.

To maximise learners’ second-language (L2) achievements, high-quality training for future L2 teachers is indispensable. This paper reports on an L2 teacher training course that incorporated processability theory (PT) in a German University. PT is a psycholinguistic theory of SLA explaining and predicting L2 development across languages. Because of this focus, PT can be applied in both natural and instructed settings of SLA. Further, the incorporation of the teachability hypothesis increases PT's relevance for language teachers. After discussing PT and the teachability hypothesis, this paper describes a post-graduate seminar that introduced PT to the students to provide a basic understanding of PT and its relcvance to the foreign-language classroom. Building on that understanding, the students created short explanatory videos on aspects of PT based on the introductory textbook by Pienemann and Keßler (2011). This course design can be used to motivate and stimulate future L2 teachers.

O investimento na economia camponesa: considerações teóricas
Authors: COSTA FRANCISCO DE ASSIS
Published: October 2022

RESUMO Este artigo apresenta um modelo baseado em Marx e Chayanov que explica o investimento da unidade de produção camponesa. O artigo apresenta a base da visão pessimista de Marx e a abordagem de Chayanov à propensão especial dos camponeses ao investimento. Com base nessa discussão, é formulado um modelo analítico que considera o potencial chayanoviano derivado de uma perspectiva microeconômica do camponês e os limites do investimento camponês em um sistema capitalista derivado de uma perspectiva macroeconômica marxiana sobre as características específicas de produção de pequeno porte. Por fim, o artigo aponta para generalizações centradas nas contradições entre restrições reais determinadas por macro variáveis e o potencial subjetivo da unidade familiar de produção e consumo, foco essencial da interpretação das diversas formas da relação camponês / capitalismo.
A teoria do desenvolvimento econômico e a crise de identidade do Banco Mundial
Authors: BRESSER-PEREIRA LUIZ CARLOS
Published: October 2022

RESUMO Este artigo discute a identidade do Banco Mundial enquanto pesquisa a economia do desenvolvimento. Três crises são identificadas: (1) o Banco foi criado para financiar projetos de infraestrutura do Estado de acordo com a relevância da economia do desenvolvimento atribuída às externalidades, mas desde que a onda neoliberal dominou Washington, sua missão perdeu a clareza; (2) o Banco, que deveria financiar o desenvolvimento, parou de ter um fluxo de caixa positivo com muitos países em desenvolvimento; e (3) presume-se que o Banco apoie o crescimento dos países em desenvolvimento, mas na crise da dívida está claramente alinhado com seus principais acionistas. No entanto, o Banco mantém um papel importante no mundo, à medida que se transforma cada vez mais em uma instituição de serviço que conta com economistas altamente competentes, pois apoia as reformas orientadas para o mercado muito necessárias e promove investimentos em capital humano.

Abstract This study aimed to evaluate the influence of different dental tissue thickness on the measurement of oxygen saturation (SpO2) levels in high (HP) and low (LP) blood perfusion by comparing the values obtained from two different pulse oximeters (POs) - BCI and Sense 10. Thirty freshly extracted human teeth had their crowns interposed between the POs and an optical simulator, which emulated the SpO2 and heart beats per minute (bpm) at HP (100% SpO2/75 bpm) and LP (86% SpO2/75 bpm) modes. Afterwards, the palatine/lingual surfaces of the dental crowns were worn with diamond drills. The reading of SpO2 was performed again using the POs alternately through the buccal surface of each dental crown. Data were analyzed by the Wilcoxon, Mann-Whitney and Kendall Tau-b tests (α=5%). The results showed significant difference at the HP and LP modes in the SpO2 readouts through the different dental thicknesses with the use of BCI, and at the LP mode with the use of Sense 10, which had a significant linear correlation (p<0.0001) and lower SpO2 readout values in relation to the increase of the dental thickness. Irrespective of tooth thickness, Sense 10 had significantly higher readout values (p<0.0001) than BCI at both perfusion modes. The interposition of different thicknesses of enamel and dentin influenced the POs measurement of SpO2, specially at the low perfusion mode. The POs were more accurate in SpO2 measurement when simulated perfusion levels were higher.

Abstract Periodontitis and arterial hypertension are two of the pathologies with the highest global prevalence; evidence reported so far has been favorable to an association between them. This cross-sectional study aimed to evaluate and compare the microbiological counts of hypertensive and normotensive patients with periodontitis. Sociodemographic, behavioral, systemic health data and periodontal clinical parameters were assessed. Counts of A. actinomycetemcomitans, P. intermedia, P. gingivalis and F. nucleatum were performed by real-time polymerase chain reaction using subgingival biofilm samples. Thirty-eight patients were included in this preliminary analysis, divided into two groups: Normotensive Group (NG) (n = 14) and Hypertensive Group (HG) (n = 24). Patients diagnosed with periodontitis composed both groups. Data analysis was performed with significance level of 5%. There was no significant difference between groups for clinical periodontitis diagnosis. In addition, hypertensive individuals had higher P. intermedia, P. gingivalis, and F. nucleatum counts when compared to normotensive individuals. The parameters probing pocket depth, bleeding on probing, and A. actinomycetemcomitans count did not presented statistical differences between groups. With these preliminary results, it can be concluded that the presence of arterial hypertension may be associated with a greater quantity of periodontopathogenic bacterial of some species in individuals with periodontitis.

ABSTRACT: This study, evaluated the readability of electronic leg and ear tags in Saanen goats. Fifty-seven goats were identified with the electronic leg tags (ELT) and electronic ear tags (EET) from birth until the lactation period ends. Readability of ELT and EET was 96.30% and 90.55% respectively in static conditions at the end of 12 months. Foot and udder, with no infection rates for ELT and EET in calm and aggressive goats were 95.70% and 100%, respectively. No infection rates of foot and udder for ELT and EET in calm and aggressive goats were 95.70% and 100%, respectively. Tagging method and animal temperament was not statistically significant. As a result, low animal traceability with ear tags was determined by this study. Besides, it is suggested that smaller-sized tagging materials would be more accurate when the ankle was selected as a body area to place identification tags in goats. The resulting issue to be considered is that the leg tagging should not negatively affect the animal welfare and the foot and udder health. In the future, using a leg band in the identification of goats will become more widespread as it does not damage animals and has a high readability capacity.

Published: October 2022

ABSTRACT Introduction: Core strength training focuses mainly on the muscle group and neuromuscular system of the central area of the human body to gain strength and stability for complex movements. Studies have reported the effect of core training on high-capacity athletes, but there is still a gap regarding the impacts on physical capacity in running athletes. Objective: To study the effects of strength training on athletes’ core and the direct impacts on running quality. Methods: Athletes of the men’s running team at the athletic training center of the Institute of Physical Education were core strength trained for 10 to 12 weeks. After the period, physical tests, according to predetermined protocols. The data were compared before, after the intervention, and after statistical treatment, and the findings were discussed according to the scientific literature. Results: After 12 weeks of training, among the five sports skills, there was only a significant difference before and after training of body lateral flexion (right side) (P<0.05), and there was no significant difference before and after training of the other four sport skills (P > 0.05). Conclusions: Through the static and dynamic exercises of core strength training, we can effectively improve the proprioception intervention in body movement so that runners can more accurately control their joints and muscles, ensuring movement and postural accuracy. Level of evidence II; Therapeutic studies - investigation of treatment outcomes.

ABSTRACT Introduction: For over 100 years, elastic band training has been used in fitness training, including mainly male physical strength training, female body sculpting training, and stimulation of stages in child development. Objective: Verify the impacts of elastic band training on lower limb strength in aerobic gymnastics athletes. Methods: The method of literary data, expert interview, and logical analysis were adopted. Mainly through the logical analysis method, 20 aerobics athletes in a rhythmic gymnastics club were selected as volunteers for the experiment. They were randomly divided into the experimental and control groups and then performed a jump test for 14 weeks, involving three steps. Results: It was found that before the experiment, the athletes in the experimental group performed slightly better in the three-step approach and level 1 straight step jump than the control group. Elastic band training significantly improved trunk strength and lower limb strength. Conclusions: Factors affecting the selection of lower body strength training content for aerobic gymnastics athletes are: physical factors, training cycle factors, multi-age factors, and coaches’ factors. Level of evidence II; Therapeutic studies - investigation of treatment outcomes.
RECOVERY OF BASKETBALL PLAYERS AFTER OFFENSIVE TECHNIQUE TRAINING
Authors: Wang Zhanqi
Published: October 2022

ABSTRACT Introduction: The shot accuracy and standardization in basketball games are closely related to the quality of the team’s scoring. The percentage of throws is fundamental to know if the basketing movement can be correctly detected and judged. In traditional basketball, players’ skills are composed of specific movements. With the gradual development of these technical movements, coaches should pay more attention to each athlete so that their technical problems can be identified and worked on early. Objective: This article discusses how basketball players move, catch the ball on the court, and execute the shot to the basket. Methods: We randomly and voluntarily selected 90 basketball players by sampling. The independent variables, biomarkers, and kinetic patterns were properly cataloged and processed. The main test items included body, lower limb, and groin circumference. Finally, mathematical statistics were used to analyze the correlation of each index. The relationship between basketball players’ movement posture and basic offensive techniques was analyzed. Results: In basketball, basic attack techniques in multifactorial training remarkably influences their score. The role of score recovery in basketball is significant. Conclusion: The quality of basketing action is directly related to the technical level of offensive basketball. A variety of ball training can improve the skill level of the basketball player. Level of evidence II; Therapeutic studies - investigation of treatment outcomes.

Authors: Madureira Rosilaine Aparecida da Silva , Oliveira Adriana Cristina de
Published: October 2022

Resumo Objetivo: analisar o processo de limpeza de gastroscópios, colonoscópios e duodenoscópios em oito serviços de saúde intra-hospitalar. Método: estudo transversal com 22 endoscópios, sendo oito gastroscópios, oito colonoscópios e seis duodenoscópios, e análise microbiológica de 60 amostras dos canais de ar/água (todos os endoscópios) e elevador (duodenoscópios), além de teste de proteína. Na análise dos dados, utilizou-se estatística descritiva, com cálculo de frequências e medidas de tendência central. Resultados: o processamento de 22 endoscópios foi acompanhado com análise microbiológica de 60 canais. Na pré-limpeza, em 82,3% (14/17) dos equipamentos, foi utilizada gaze na limpeza do tubo de inserção. A imersão incompleta do endoscópio em solução detergente ocorreu em 72,3% (17/22) dos casos, e em 63,6% (14/22) não havia padronização do preenchimento dos canais. A fricção do canal de biópsia não foi realizada em 13,6% (3/22) dos equipamentos. Na análise microbiológica, 25% (7/32) das amostras dos endoscópios armazenados foram positivas para crescimento microbiano (2x101 a 9,5x104 UFC/mL), enquanto após o processamento, a contaminação foi de 32% (9/28). Resíduos de proteína no canal do elevador foram detectados em 33% dos duodenoscópios. Conclusão: os resultados apontam lacunas importantes nas etapas de pré-limpeza e limpeza dos endoscópios que, associadas à presença de resíduos de proteína e ao crescimento de microrganismo de importância epidemiológica, sinalizam limitações na segurança do processamento, que podem comprometer os processos de desinfecção e consequentemente seu uso seguro entre pacientes submetidos a tais exames.
Revisitando o velho problema do trem relativístico que entra (ou não) em uma garagem
Authors: Kneubil Fabiana Botelho
Published: October 2022

Este texto discute alguns conceitos da teoria da relatividade restrita, em uma situação bastante conhecida, como a de um trem em movimento entrar em uma garagem menor que seu comprimento em repouso. No contexto da relatividade, sabe-se que existe a contração do espaço, no entanto, quando mudamos de referencial e consideramos um observador no trem, a garagem é que se movimenta e também sofre uma contração, surgindo um aparente paradoxo. A questão é apresentada sob a perspectiva de eventos e tratada com as transformações de Lorentz em dois referenciais diferentes, o que permite detalhar a solução do problema e mostrar que o paradoxo não existe, enaltecendo a consistência da teoria da relatividade. Com isso, exploramos uma série de nuances, normalmente ausentes numa abordagem tradicional, tais como medição do comprimento de corpos em movimento, simultaneidade, inversão de eventos e elementos do cone de luz.
