Published: January 2023

BACKGROUND: Adrenocortical adenomas are often followed with steroid hormones hyperproduction, and therefore determination of their concentration plays an important role in the differential diagnosis of adrenal diseases. Steroid profiling by tandem mass spectrometry is one of the main diagnostic methods in steroidogenesis characterization. Currently plasma and urinary steroid profiling is of particular interest in differential diagnosis and subtyping patients with adrenocortical adenomas.AIM: Steroid profiling of pediatric patients with adrenal diseases (incidentalomas, ACTH-secreting pituitary adenoma, ACTH-independent Cushing syndrome, premature adrenarche).MATERIALS AND METHODS: We conducted a retrospective analysis of steroid profile of 41 pediatric patients with adrenal diseases who were observed between 2005 and 2020 at the Endocrinology Research Centre.RESULTS: All patients were divided into groups due to diagnosis: with ACTH-secreting pituitary adenoma [n=7], ACTH-independent Cushing syndrome (autonomous cortisol secretion by an adrenal adenoma) [n=4], with incidentaloma [n=7] and premature adrenarche [n=23]. In group of patients with ACTH-independent Cushing syndrome identified statistically significant higher levels of 11-deoxycortisol (р=0, 0035) and significant lower levels of 17-hydroxypregnenolone (р=0, 0026) and DHEA (р=0, 0047) compared to other groups. Statistically significant differences in steroid profiles between other groups were not identified.CONCLUSION: Results of our study steroid profiling can be used as additional differential diagnosis method in patients with adrenocortical adenomas with or without hormonal hyperproduction (ACTH-independent Cushing syndrome and incidentaloma). Further studies are needed to identify steroid markers for subtyping pediatric adrenal diseases.

A obra em questão, Favor fechar os olhos: em busca de um outro tempo, de Byung-Chul Han, nascido na Coreia e radicado na Alemanha, onde é professor de Filosofia e Estudos Culturais na Universidade de Berlim, se trata de uma reflexão filosófica acerca das questões que envolvem o paradigma digital contemporâneo atrelado à problemática do tempo, e, mais propriamente, acerca do ato natural de fechar os olhos ante a coação permanente pelo visual, pela vigilância.
O ensaio de Byung-Chul Han está dividido em cinco capítulos, os quais poderíamos nominar de cinco tempos: O tempo do silêncio, O tempo bom, O tempo da festa, O tempo do outro e Em um tempo inoportuno; à partida se pode observar os títulos como uma espécie de ideia reguladora, ou seja, como uma dimensão de alteridade, de algum modo, inspirada em um pensamento ético como o de Emmanuel Lévinas. Nesta resenha crítica, procuramos esboçar reflexões possíveis advindas desse trabalho.

Grito. Gaguejo. Silêncio.
Authors: Bocchetti André , Gonçalves Teresa Nico Rego
Published: January 2023

O texto é um exercício de pensamento, a partir de textos filosóficos e de experiências vivenciadas por seu autor e sua autora, sobre a voz docente e os lugares por ela ocupados, com base em três de suas expressões que, aqui, funcionam como figuras analíticas: o grito, o gaguejo e o silêncio. Elas são tomadas a partir de sua força acontecimental e não individualizante, apontando para as forças do fora deleuziano em seu encontro com a ação docente e em suas possibilidades de criação. Com tais motes vislumbram-se, ao longo do texto, gestos que narram e se propõem a ampliar reflexões sobre uma experiência de docência que, ao resistir à captura, aponta para a re-existência dos próprios professores, e para outros modos de gritar, gaguejar e silenciar.

Shout. Stutter. Silence. Ways of re-existing in teaching.
Abstract: This text is an analytical exercise about the teaching voice and the places it occupies, based on philosophical texts and experiences lived by its authors. Three of this voice expressions function here as analytical figures: the shout, the stutter and the silence. They are taken from their event-based and non-individualizing force, pointing to the powers of the Deleuzian outside in their encounter with the teaching action and in their possibilities of creation. Gestures that narrate and propose to expand reflections on a teaching experience can be glimpsed throughout the text. They are based on a way of teaching experience that, by resisting capture, points to the re-existence of the teachers themselves, and to other ways of shouting, stuttering and silencing.
Keywords: Scream; Stutter; Silence; Teachers voice.

A Universidade e o “homo sabius”.
Authors: Cunha António Camilo Teles Nascimento
Published: January 2023

O ensaio, em jeito de crítica/crítica, procura olhar para a Universidade na sua dimensão político-organizacional. Através de uma reflexão interpretativa, apoiada na constatação empírica e na literatura - uma metodologia que sai dos cânones de uma metodologia científica de investigação - tenta “escavar” a Universidade e mostrar dois tipos de homo-politicus que nela existem: o “homo-violentus” (o homem - “violento”) e o “homo-sabius” (o homem - “sábio”). Estes dois tipos de homos (por certo, existem outros tipos) então “encarnados” nos decisores, gestores, professores, investigadores, estudantes etc. Destes dois tipos de homos vamos ter  formas de intervenção política, cultural, científico/investigativa,  educativo/pedagógico e humana diferenciadas - nas expressões informação, conhecimento, sabedoria - e, com elas, consequentes implicações na missão da própria Universidade.
Palavras–Chave: Universidade; Política; Investigação; Pedagogia.
 
The University and the “homo sabius”. Criticism / Criticism
Abstract: The essay, in the form of criticism/criticism, seeks to look at the University in its political-organizational dimension. Through an interpretative reflection, supported by empirical evidence and literature - a methodology that departs from the canons of a scientific research methodology - it tries to "dig" the University and show two types of homo-politicus that exist in it: the "homo-violentus ” (man - “violent”) and “homo-sabius” (man - “wise”). These two types of homos (of course, there are other types) then “incarnated” in decision-makers, managers, teachers, researchers, students, etc. From these two types of homos we will have differentiated forms of political, cultural, scientific/investigative, educational/pedagogical and human intervention - in terms of information, knowledge, wisdom - and, with them, consequent implications for the mission of the University itself.
Key Words: University; Policy; Investigation; Pedagogy.

O mapeamento no currículo cultural da Educação Física
Authors: Neira Marcos Garcia , Nunes Mário Luiz Ferrari
Published: January 2023

No campo da Educação Física, o chamado currículo cultural busca apoio nas teorias organizadas a partir da virada linguística para tematizar as brincadeiras, danças, lutas, esportes ou ginásticas. Nessa vertente de ensino, o mapeamento é tomado como encaminhamento didático-metodológico que possibilita a definição da prática corporal a ser tematizada e promove as problematizações que constroem o percurso do estudo. O artigo analisa a noção de mapeamento produzida na literatura dedicada ao assunto. Localiza os seus significados e apresenta possíveis causas da pluralidade de seus usos. Na sequência, extrai das epistemologias que conferem sentido a essa vertente curricular os argumentos que permitem concebê-lo como cartografias realizadas por vadios e vadias.

Mapping in the cultural curriculum of Physical Education: cartography and vagrancy
Abstract: In the field of Physical Education, the so-called cultural curriculum seeks support in theories organized from the linguistic turn to thematize games, dances, fights, sports or gymnastics. In this aspect of teaching, mapping is taken as a didactic-methodological route that allows the definition of the body practice to be thematized and promotes the problematizations that build the course of the study. The article analyzes the notion of mapping produced in the literature dedicated to the subject. It locates its meanings and presents possible causes of the plurality of its uses. Subsequently, it extracts from the epistemologies that give meaning to this curricular aspect, the arguments that allow it to be conceived as cartographies carried out by vagrants.

Mistanásia, Cárcere e Dignidade da Pessoa Humana
Authors: Oliveira Freire Leonardo , Campos de Melo Soares Elisianne
Published: January 2023

Ao adentrar o sistema penal, o indivíduo depara-se com um ambiente hostil que lhe lança em um processo de aculturação e perda de identidade. Para sobreviver, necessário se faz romper com o mundo exterior e a vida pretérita, absorvendo um novo sistema de cultura e costumes paralelos à sociedade comum. Essa é uma das etapas do processo chamado de mistanásia, ou morte social, fenômeno que repetidamente se verifica no país, amplamente observável em uma parcela da sociedade brasileira excluída, ou com acesso limitado à educação, assistência à saúde e mercado de trabalho. Referida exclusão se evidencia com a ausência desses indivíduos nos processos capitalistas de consumo. O presente artigo propõe a abordagem do tema à luz da dignidade da pessoa humana e dos direitos da personalidade, refletindo acerca dos conceitos de ostracismo e mistanásia. A forma como a condenação penal afeta esse processo de invisibilidade também é considerada. A pesquisa, de natureza qualitativa, tem como base levantamento bibliográfico. Aponta, por fim, um diagnóstico da morte social da população encarcerada e egressa do sistema penal, propondo caminhos de saída e transformação social.
Grandes casos da Suprema Corte dos Estados Unidos sobre o exercício da liberdade religiosa
Authors: Rego Borges Ribeiro Raphael
Published: January 2023

Foram estudados 02 casos da US Supreme Court sobre o exercício da liberdade religiosa. Consultaram-se fontes primárias, com a transcrição dos principais pontos de cada decisão. O objetivo foi descrever a postura da Corte em relação à legislação que cria ônus para o exercício de determinada religião. Percebeu-se que em Church of the Lukumi Babalu Aye, Inc. v. City of Hialeah, leis municipais proibindo o sacrifício de animais foram invalidadas por unanimidade, especialmente em razão de serem direcionadas a atingir uma religião específica, a Santería. Por outro lado, viu-se que em Burwell v. Hobby Lobby a maioria conservadora da Suprema Corte assegurou a corporações com fins lucrativos o direito de, alegando motivos religiosos, não arcar com os custos de, por meio dos planos de saúde, fornecer determinados contraceptivos às suas funcionárias.
A Lei n° 13.709/18 (Lei Geral de Proteção aos Dados Pessoais – LGPD) e sua Relação com a Advocacia
Authors: Lima Vinicius , De Morais e Oliveira Rômulo
Published: January 2023

O teor do trabalho centraliza-se na análise da inovação legislativa decorrente da Lei 13.709/18 (Lei Geral de Proteção aos Dados Pessoais – LGPD), assim como o papel e os deveres do advogado quanto ao tratamento dos dados pessoais. A obra foi elaborada tendo como sentido o objetivo geral de verificar quais os impactos decorrentes do advento da Lei n° 13.709/18 (Lei Geral de Proteção aos Dados Pessoais – LGPD) na atuação da advocacia. Dessa forma empregou-se a metodologia através de técnicas de pesquisa bibliográficas e documentais, com conhecimentos disponíveis a partir de obras doutrinárias, artigos e legislação, utilizando-se o estudo qualitativo, observando os sujeitos atingidos pelo advento da Lei n°13.709/18. No que se refere aos resultados alcançados, ficou evidente que a LGPD atinge todos que utilizam-se de tratamento de dados e informações de terceiros, estando nesse contexto a atividade do advogado que utiliza de forma direta e indireta os dados e informações coletadas de seus clientes e colaboradores, além de que a Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados Pessoais também traz sanções em caso de  tratamento de dados ineficaz, afetando assim quem a descumpra. Conclui-se que a LGPD ocasionou uma série de mudanças e novidades a fim de tornar mais seguro o trabalho do advogado, mas, principalmente, trazer proteção ao titular dos dados pessoais, podendo ser um cliente do advogado, como também um funcionário ou estagiário que tem suas informações armazenadas nos departamentos do escritório de advocacia sendo o planejamento e plano no tratamento de dados um meio viável com aspectos de seguridade e proteção para um bom andamento da prática advocatícia e zelo por esta atividade.
Ministério Público e a violência policial na cidade do Rio de Janeiro
Authors: Guerra Sidney , Guerra Raquel , Manganote Bárbara
Published: January 2023

A pesquisa tem o objetivo de avaliar o papel desempenhado pelo Ministério Público no contexto da violência policial, com enfoque na cidade do Rio de Janeiro, a partir da análise da Sentença do caso Favela Nova Brasília proferida pela Corte Interamericana de Direitos Humanos, em um diálogo com o controle de convencionalidade. Isto é, pondera-se a atuação do Ministério Público, através da sua função de controle externo da atividade da polícia, na contribuição – e perpetuação - da violência policial como um problema estrutural na sociedade brasileira. Neste cenário, a pesquisa realiza este estudo por meio da análise do importante instrumento que é o controle de convencionalidade, que desempenha a função de verificação da compatibilidade das normas domésticas – bem como sua aplicação – com as normas internacionais, principalmente normas de Direitos Humanos. Para tanto, será realizada a análise da sentença Favela Nova Brasília sob a ótica do controle de convencionalidade para identificar o papel do Ministério Público dentro do contexto da violência policial na cidade do Rio de Janeiro. E, desta forma identificar se as normas internacionais de proteção aos Direitos Humanos foram aplicadas pelo Ministério Público no caso e, após a sentença, se as medidas determinadas pela Corte foram implementadas pelo órgão.

A Ação Antrópica e o Processo de Eutrofização no Rio Paraíba do Meio
Authors: Santos Everson Oliveira , Medeiros Paulo Ricardo Petter
Published: January 2023

A apropriação e uso de uma bacia hidrográfica, pela sociedade, é um processo histórico, necessário e, sobretudo, gerador de problemas ambientais que alteram, sobremaneira, a qualidade da água. Um dos problemas relacionados à qualidade da água é a eutrofização. Muitos ecossistemas aquáticos tem padecido desse problema que consiste em grandes aportes de Fósforo e Nitrogênio introduzidos no leito de rios, por exemplo, por meio de efluentes domésticos e/ou industriais. Esse contexto de alteração da qualidade da água pela ação humana desencadeia o crescimento significativo de organismos fitoplanctônicos e fitobentônicos, provocando assim, um desequilíbrio na dinâmica do ecossistema aquático, bem como prejuízos também para a sociedade. Nesse contexto, este estudo teve como objetivo avaliar o Estado Trófico do Rio Paraíba do Meio e compreender os desdobramentos e influências da relação da sociedade com o rio e como tal relação tem contribuído para o processo de eutrofização. Os materiais e métodos pautaram-se em: aquisição de dados de parâmetros químicos e físicos de campanhas realizadas mensalmente durante o ano hidrológico de 2013; dados de vazão e precipitação; dados de esgotamento sanitário adequado; análises laboratoriais; determinação do Índice de Estado Trófico pelo Modelo TRIX. Evidenciou-se que devido as variadas atividades antrópicas que ocorreram na bacia hidrográfica em questão, com a introdução significante de nutrientes como Fósforo e Nitrogênio no leito do rio, durante o ano hidrológico de 2013, o rio Paraíba do Meio apresentou diferentes estágios de eutrofização que variam do mesotrófico ao eutrófico.
EVALUATION OF A YOUTUBE CHANNEL FOR SCIENTIFIC DISCLOSURE ON AGRIBUSINESS
Authors: Cristina dos Santos Silveira Naiara , Silva Alves Laya Kannan , Raineri Camila
Published: January 2023

Esta pesquisa analisou a eficiência de um canal na plataforma Youtube como estratégia para divulgação científica e extensão rural. O canal foi criado no final de 2018 e o último vídeo publicado em março de 2021, totalizando 58 vídeos. Por meio das métricas disponibilizadas pelo Youtube Analytics, foram analisadas informações referentes ao canal, audiência, buscas na plataforma e engajamento do público. Em relação às métricas do canal, obteve-se uma média de 15 minutos de duração da visualização total. As métricas de audiência que as principais origens externas do canal são o WhatsApp©, Gmail©, sites universitários e a pesquisa do Google©. Constata-se um público majoritariamente feminino, brasileiro, entre os 18 e 24 anos de idade, com acesso principalmente pelo celular, computador e TV. As buscas do canal tiveram maior relevância em comparação àquelas oriundas da própria plataforma, além de origem direta ou desconhecida e apresentaram maior duração média e horas assistindo, porém, menor taxa de visualização. No engajamento a utilização dos elementos da tela final foi positiva e mais utilizada após tal constatação, além disso em sua maioria os vídeos geraram interações positivas com uma maioria de “Gostei”. Conclui-se, portanto, que em questões de divulgação científica o canal obteve relevância ao constatar as crescentes métricas em relação ao público, entretanto a mesma relevância não foi observada quando se tratou da extensão rural, uma vez que a idade do público não condiz com a idade que geralmente produtores apresentam, tornando necessário analisar e corrigir tal problemática. Ademais, ressalta a necessidade de continuação da pesquisa para entender melhores formas de engajamento do público.

THE STATUS OF HPV TESTING IN THE DIAGNOSIS OF CERVICAL CANCER AND HEAD AND NECK TUMORS: EXCHANGE OF FOREIGN EXPERIENCE
Authors: Milovanova G. A. , Kasoyan K. T. , Patsap O. I.
Published: January 2023

Eastern Europe and Russia belong to regions with a high level of HPV infection – about 22 % of the population are infected, while there is an uneven distribution of virus species by region and social groups. The most common oncological diseases diagnosed together with HPV are anal cancer – 80 %, vaginal cancer – 70 %, oral and pharyngeal cancer – 30 %, penile cancer – 50 %. Using the example of foreign experience in the diagnosis of cervical cancer and squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck, the role of various laboratory methods and their combinations in the diagnostic search for human papillomavirus of high carcinogenic risk is shown. The review presents diagnostic capabilities of genotyping, immunocytochemical staining of p16/Ki-67 markers, DNA methylation methods, in situ hybridization on cell blocks, molecular methods of nucleic acid amplification, as well as an express method for determining oncoprotein E6.
The Real “Stolen Election”: Frank Hague and New Jersey’s 1937 Race for Governor
Authors: Murray Joseph M.
Published: January 2023

Any notion of a rigged 2020 national election pales in comparison to America’s real “stolen election” 83 years before, in New Jersey. Republican state senator Lester H. Clee was poised to make the 1937 gubernatorial election a very close race. He carried 14 of the state’s 21 counties and was nearly tied in 5 others. Yet the day after polls closed, people awoke to news that Clee’s 80,000-vote lead had vanished. Overnight, his majority was erased by late returns from one single county—Hudson County, the power base of state Democratic boss Frank Hague. The 45,000-vote plurality delivered by Hague’s indomitable political machine put Clee’s opponent A. Harry Moore over the top. This article examines claims made by Republicans of the day that the 1937 election was stolen: that Lester Clee lost to A. Harry Moore because of institutionalized voter fraud in Hudson County.

Using Primary Sources to Teach the Lives of Black Americans in New Jersey
Authors: Fenster Robert
Published: January 2023

The New Jersey Studies Academic Alliance (NJSAA) was founded to encourage the teaching of New Jersey studies and to help teachers more efficiently and thoroughly present the study of the state to their students. In the spring of 1999, the alliance initiated awards to recognize innovation and creativity in teaching New Jersey studies on the elementary, middle, secondary, and college level. The 2022 high school educator selected for recognition by the NJSAA was Robert M. Fenster, Hillsborough High School. Mr. Fenster has created a pair of lessons focused on the lives of Black Americans in New Jersey, as told through an examination of primary documents, conversations around agency, and student-centered activities. His lesson plans highlight the roles of Black Americans in the American Revolution and the significance of gradual emancipation in New Jersey. The following is a modified version of the inspiring remarks made by Mr. Fenster at the October 2022 meeting of the NJSAA, in which he discusses his work—and how it’s never to late to start teaching New Jersey history, in its full and unvarnished form.

Memoria episódica y enriquecimiento ambiental en ratas Wistar
Authors: Puentes-Garzón Valentina , Alejo-Castañeda Ivone Edith , Manrique-Zuluaga Tatiana
Published: January 2023

Los estudios de enriquecimiento ambiental comenzaron en 1920 con el primatólogo Robert Yerkes, quien resaltaba la importancia de las mejoras de vivienda tanto en zoológicos como en laboratorios. El objetivo principal era crear ambientes naturales a los animales en estado de cautiverio, y de esta forma, mostrarían patrones de actividad diarios o similares a los que muestra en su medio natural, garantizando así el bienestar animal, satisfaciendo sus necesidades físicas y psicológicas (Escobar, 2016). En las últimas décadas los beneficios percibidos del enriquecimiento ambiental en los animales cautivos fueron aumentado el interés en el campo investigativo, encontrando que los factores ambientales en los que se desarrolla un organismo tienen una influencia en el acervo genético y beneficios en la determinación de la conducta (Peña, 2007). En 1940, Donald Hebb propuso formalmente el enriquecimiento ambiental en laboratorio, al darse cuenta de que las ratas que tenía por mascotas y que andaban libremente por su casa tenían una capacidad superior de resolución de problemas y aprendizaje que las ratas alojadas en condiciones de laboratorio estándar (Simpson & Kelly, 2011; Casanova et al., 2008).
Estudio comparativo sobre la calidad de vida entre sobrevivientes del conflicto armado y población general en Colombia
Authors: Salas-Picón Wilson Miguel , Avendaño-Prieto Bertha Lucía , Medina-Arboleda Iván Felipe , Toro Ronald Alberto
Published: January 2023

Colombia atraviesa por un momento histórico y decisivo en el ámbito sociopolítico derivado del acuerdo de paz con el que fuera uno de los grupos alzados en armas más antiguo del continente, las extintas Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia, Ejército del Pueblo (FARC-EP) (Rico & Barreto, 2021). Garantizar que el Acuerdo tenga efectos sobre el desarrollo humano sostenible (DHS) y el capital social del país requiere analizar la calidad de vida (en adelante CV) y la salud mental de la población sobreviviente del conflicto armado y la de la ciudadanía en general, desde un enfoque positivo que permita orientar programas sociales que promuevan la reconstrucción social, psicológica y física (Garzón-Velandia et al., 2020).

Published: January 2023

Los cambios que se van produciendo en las organizaciones implican transformaciones en los diversos ámbitos de la organización que repercuten en los colaboradores, lo cual puede suscitar diferentes reacciones que afectan su calidad de vida, causar inconvenientes en el desarrollo de sus actividades e impactar la percepción del clima organizacional. Por lo anterior, aunque es importante que las organizaciones sean competitivas ante las exigencias del mercado, no se puede desconocer que, para lograr esta exigencia, el capital humano debe tener un adecuado bienestar psicológico que ayude a jalonar los procesos de una manera adecuada (Iljins et al., 2015).
Efecto de un programa de regulación emocional para adolescentes consumidores de sustancias psicoactivas
Authors: Bolívar-Ramírez Marisol , Moreno-Méndez Jaime Humberto , Avendaño-Prieto Bertha Lucía
Published: January 2023

La regulación emocional es la habilidad para identificar, modificar, modular o mantener los estados emocionales propios y de los demás (Aldrete-Cortez et al., 2014; Oberst et al., 2013; Pacheco & Fernández, 2013; Mayer & Salovey, 1997). Es considerada como un proceso transdiagnóstico que predice diferentes problemas clínicos (Aldao, 2012). El déficit de esta habilidad se ha asociado con problemas en el sistema inmunológico (Cabrera et al., 2017; Gómez et al., 2016), enfermedades cardiovasculares y gastrointestinales (Güven et al., 2020; Pérez et al., 2015), trastornos de depresión y ansiedad (Cruz-Ramírez et al., 2018; Moreno- Méndez et al., 2020) con conductas adictivas a sustancias como tabaco, alcohol y marihuana (Blumenthal et al., 2019; García del Castillo et al., 2013) y adicción al internet (Karaer & Akdemir, 2019).

Authors: Zhang Haiou , Yang Chenxi , Wu Xueying , Guo Zhen , Wang Yingguo
Published: January 2023

The Mu Us Desert in China is significantly affected by seasonal freeze–thaw processes. In order to evaluate the adaptation potential of reconstituted soil with different proportions of feldspathic sandstone and sand to extreme environment, the laboratory simulation freeze-thaw experiments was conducted to study the characteristics of soil C and N under freeze–thaw conditions. The results showed that the content of soil organic matter reached the peak after two cycles of freezing and thawing in T1, T2 and T3, compared to before freeze–thaw cycle, the soil organic matter content increased by 70, 55 and 59%. After ten cycles of freezing and thawing, the content of soil organic matter increased significantly in T2 and T3. After one cycle of freezing and thawing, soil nitrogen content reached the peak. After ten cycles of freeze–thaw cycle, compared to before freeze–thaw cycle, the contents of ammonium nitrogen increased by 10, 49 and 11%, and the contents of nitrate nitrogen increased by 14, 39 and 34% in T1, T2 and T3. In conclusion, short-term freeze–thaw cycles in the Mu Us Desert significantly increased the accumulation of soil carbon and nitrogen reconstructed by different ratios of feldspathic sandstone and sand, and T2 and T3 treatments had better retention performance on soil organic matter and nitrogen, which has a good adaptability to the extreme environment.
Bias attenuation results for dichotomization of a continuous confounder
Authors: Gabriel Erin E. , Peña Jose M. , Sjölander Arvid
Published: January 2023

It is well-known that dichotomization can cause bias and loss of efficiency in estimation. One can easily construct examples where adjusting for a dichotomized confounder causes bias in causal estimation. There are additional examples in the literature where adjusting for a dichotomized confounder can be more biased than not adjusting at all. The message is clear, do not dichotomize. What is unclear is if there are scenarios where adjusting for the dichotomized confounder always leads to lower bias than not adjusting. We propose several sets of conditions that characterize scenarios where one should always adjust for the dichotomized confounder to reduce bias. We then highlight scenarios where the decision to adjust should be made more cautiously. To our knowledge, this is the first formal presentation of conditions that give information about when one should and potentially should not adjust for a dichotomized confounder.
Determinants of language change in the Gurage area of Ethiopia
Authors: Feleke Tekabe Legesse
Published: January 2023

This study aims to examine linguistic and non-linguistic determinants that contribute to language change in the Gurage area of Ethiopia. The linguistic and non-linguistic determinants were investigated by combining methods of dialectometry and mutual intelligibility. Principally, the study was interested in the potential influences of three linguistic factors (mutual intelligibility, contact-induced diffusion of linguistic features, and borrowing from dominant languages) and four non-linguistic factors (between-speakers contact, geographical distance, population size, and attitude of the speakers). Statistical analyses performed on the aforementioned factors show that the linguistic determinants significantly contribute to language change in the Gurage area. Geographical distance, attitude of the speakers, and contact among the speakers are the major non-linguistic contributors. Population size has a marginal influence.

Published: January 2023

This manuscript presents a short route to justify the widely used Monte Carlo Radiative Transfer (MCRT) algorithm straight from the Radiative Transfer Equation (RTE). In this regard, this paper starts deriving a probability measure obtained from the integral formulation of the RTE under a unidirectional point source in an infinite domain. This derivation only requires the analytical integration of the first two terms of a perturbation expansion. Although derivations have been devised to clarify the relationship between the MCRT and the RTE, they tend to be rather long and elaborate. Considering how simple it is to justify the MCRT from a loose probabilistic interpretation of the photon’s physical propagation process, the decay in popularity of former approaches relating MCRT to the RTE is entirely understandable. Unfortunately, all of this has given the false impression that MCRT and the RTE are not that closely related, to the point that recent works have explicitly stated that no direct link exists between them.
This work presents a simpler route demonstrating how the MCRT algorithm emerges to statistically sample the RTE explicitly through Markov chains, further clarifying the method’s foundations.
Although compact, the derivation proposed in this work does not skip any fundamental step, preserving mathematical rigor while giving specific expressions and functions.
Thus, this derivation can help devise efficient ways to statistically sample the RTE for different scenarios or when coupling the MCRT method with other methods traditionally grounded in the RTE, such as the Spherical Harmonics and Discrete Ordinates methods.

The framework of the present study is based on investigation of different types of phosphorus based secondary antioxidants and their role in stabilization of polypropylene. Three different chemical entities i.e., Tris (2,4-di-tert-butylphenyl) phosphite, Tetrakis (2,4-di-tert-butylphenyl)-4,4-biphenyldiphosphonite and Bis (2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-methylphenyl pentaerythritol-diphosphite) have been studied for its efficiency as a secondary antioxidants or processing stabilizer. Thermal stability of polymer is predicted using degradation kinetics study and correlated with it’s optical, thermal and rheological response. To further evaluate performance of secondary antioxidants, thermogravimetry analysis was performed for polypropylene at three different heating rates and processed for iso-conversional analysis to get the kinetic parameters. Oxidation induction data and kinetic parameters have been related with efficiency of the stabilizers. Filtration study was also carried out to understand the efficacy of stabilizers during secondary process. Die pressure build up in filtration study is quantified and related with performance of secondary antioxidants.

Authors: Thomas Ruby , Umapathy Manickam Janarthanam , Ravi Giridharan
Published: January 2023

Mild steel panels were zinc phosphated employing environmentally safe nano silica as an accelerator and a series of four cationic surfactants as additives. The four cationic surfactants chosen were decyltriethyl ammonium bromide (C10TEAB), dodecyltriethyl ammonium bromide (C12TEAB), hexadecyltriethyl ammonium bromide (C16TEAB), and octadecyltriethyl ammonium bromide (C18TEAB). The length of the alkyl chain of the surfactant compounds influenced the quality of the coatings. The corrosion resistance of the coated panels was assessed using a salt spray test. The hydrophobicity of the coatings increased as the hydrocarbon chain length of the surfactants extended from C10 to C18. Porosity, adhesion, and roughness tests were used to examine the surface properties of the coated panels. The coating weight and thickness of the resultant coatings on the base metal were used to quantify coating quality. The results of the tests revealed that the presence of C16TEAB additive outperformed all other components in terms of coating efficiency, coating thickness, and corrosion inhibition performance. The optimal quantity of C18TEAB deposited had a maximum coating weight of 0.0430 g/mm2 that enhanced durability, appearance, and barrier qualities.
Pragmatic Felicity Facilitates the Production and Comprehension of Negation
Authors: Nordmeyer Ann E. , Frank Michael C.
Published: January 2023

Negation is a fundamental element of language and logical systems, but processing negative sentences can be challenging. Early investigations suggested that this difficulty was due to the representational challenge of adding an additional logical element to a proposition. In more recent work, however, supportive contexts mitigate the processing costs of negation, suggesting that pragmatics can modulate this difficulty. We test the pragmatic hypothesis that listeners’ processing of negation is influenced by expectations about speakers’ production of negation by directly comparing speakers and listeners in two pairs of experiments. In both experiments, speakers produce negative sentences more often when they are both relevant and informative. And in both experiments, listeners in turn are fastest to respond to sentences that they expect speakers to produce. We argue that general pragmatic principles that apply to all sentences can help explain the challenges of processing negation.

Indonesia is developing a high-speed train (HST) prototype planned for a maximum speed of 250 km/h. In high operating speed, an aerodynamics drag contributes significantly to the total resistance. Thus, reducing the aerodynamic drag becomes a primary concern. One of the significant aspects that need to be solved is to design the optimum shape of the frontal nose of the train called the Mask of Car (MoC). This research aims to study the drag coefficient from the various shape of the HST Mask of Car design by numerical method and to develop the optimum design strategy. The curvature parameters of the complex 3D model, such as nose-length, upper curvature, and side-curvature used as an optimization method The base model was constructed in 2D parameters and then developed into different shapes using 3D CAD software. A set of models was then analyzed using computational fluid dynamics with the coefficient of drag and flow characteristic. Based on the iterative simulation, it is discovered that the longer nose and sharper side of the MoC will reduce the aerodynamic drag. In conclusion, the length and the slenderness of the nose shape are significant factors in designing the mask of car of high-speed train.

Authors:   Southern Federal University, Russian Federation, Kolesnikov Yuriy
Published: January 2023

Russia has come a long way in establishing an entrepreneurial culture. But, despite this, the short history of the country’s market economy requires continuing the course of transformation of legislation related to the innovation economy. Recently, the number of projects in the financial and technological sphere operating at all levels of financial activity has been growing rapidly. The most striking examples include the creation of various services: banking, investment (including cryptoexchanges), and tax services that provide their functions through mobile applications and provide more opportunities to use them, thereby replacing outdated ways of interacting with customers. In this article, the author examines how the rapid development of new forms of economic relations has affected the legal regulation of financial technologies in the domestic legal system. The author used the method of content analysis to solve these problems, and as a subject considered local legislative gaps that arise in the activities of innovative financial intermediaries.

Published: January 2023

The article considers some problems of legal regulation of investment activity in the Russian Federation. The issues of state regulation of investment activity are reflected, the actual problems of improving the forms and methods of state regulation in this area are considered. The effective development of the economy is directly related to the activation of investment activity. The transition to an innovative path of economic development has further actualized the importance of this factor. The solution to the problem of intensification of investment processes depends on many circumstances and involves the implementation of various measures in terms of content. Among them, an important place is occupied by the legal aspects of investment, improving the legal regulation of investment activities, which, in turn, necessitates a systematic and comprehensive study of the investment process as an economic and legal phenomenon, its essence and socio-economic significance, common properties and features generated by the diversity of investment spheres and types of investors, concretization of basic, basic concepts in this area of legal regulation, many of which do not meet the requirements of certainty and consistency.
Agricultural tax incentives to stimulate economic investment in Poland
Authors:   University of Zielona Góra, Poland, Gorgol Andrzej
Published: January 2023

To induce a taxpayer to act in a manner consistent with the objectives of the tax policy of the state, it is necessary to apply appropriate tax instruments, which are measures for the implementation of the incentive function of agricultural tax. Th ese primarily include tax exemptions and reliefs. The subject of this study includes issues related to the use of tax instruments to stimulate the economic investments of agricultural taxpayers. The author’s research intention is to demonstrate the truthfulness of the thesis that the effectiveness of these incentives is not optimal and can be increased by eliminating legal measures not adapted to the needs of fiscal stimulation. To achieve this objective, it is necessary to determine in the first place what is characteristic of each preference aimed at increasing economic investment in the farm. On this basis, in the second place, further groups of stimuli may be distinguished following the analysis of their features, both common and separate. Thanks to this, the disadvantages of the legal provisions applicable to stimulation preferences in the strict and largo sense are presented in separate chapters of this study

Authors: Nobre Ricardina , Pozza Daniel H.
Published: January 2023

The reasons for searching orthodontic treatment in pediatric/adolescent patients are multifactorial. The aim of this systematic review was to study the parental influence in this process.

This study comprises a systematic review of the literature, based on the recommendations of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyzes. We analyzed 41 articles related to the study hypothesis, 29 of which followed the general inclusion criteria, and 21 specific studied the parental influence in orthodontic treatment.

The results demonstrated that dental aesthetics and facial appearance were the main triggering factors related to the search for orthodontic treatment. Pair influence also plays an important role. The perception of malocclusion and the motivation are factors that emphasize the importance of parents in this process. Parental support was identified as a positive factor in orthodontic success reported in most of the studies.

Parental influence has a positive effect on orthodontic treatment and should be understood by clinicians as a central factor in achieving the desired treatment plans.
