Published: March 2022

A crescente discussão sobre sustentabilidade tem tornado imprescindível ações que prevejam o descarte correto de medicamentos. Sustentabilidade não é apenas descartar de forma segura e adequada os resíduos gerados, mas também envolve o consumo controlado de produtos. Desta forma, adquirir e descartar medicamentos de forma consciente é uma questão de educação ambiental e conscientização dos usuários. Neste contexto, o objetivo deste trabalho é demonstrar os resultados referentes a coleta de medicamentos vencidos ou fora de uso na Universidade de Cruz Alta, estendido posteriormente à população geral do município, no âmbito de um projeto de extensão. A coleta de medicamentos foi realizada mensalmente, entre os anos de 2017 e 2020, por meio de coletores disponibilizados para esta finalidade. Os resultados demonstram que as classes de medicamentos mais descartadas incluem os analgésicos, anti-inflamatórios, medicamentos usados para desordens gástricas, hormônios e medicamentos controlados. Nesse período foram descartadas 30.188 unidades de medicamentos. Desta forma, o projeto contribui significativamente para a redução dos riscos ambientais e para a saúde da população.
IMPORTÂNCIA DA UTILIZAÇÃO DE RESSONÂNCIA MAGNÉTICA NO AUXÍLIO AO DIAGNÓSTICO DO CÂNCER DE MAMA: UMA REVISÃO SISTEMÁTICA
Authors: Kaufmann Gabriela , Trindade Fernanda Rocha da , Rodrigues Guilherme Oberto , Nobrega Almir Inácio da
Published: March 2022

Trata-se de uma revisão sobre os achados da literatura que discorrem sobre importância da utilização de Ressonância Magnética no auxílio ao diagnóstico do câncer de mama. Para a busca dos artigos foram inseridas, de forma conjunta, as seguintes palavras-chave: câncer de mama, ressonância magnética e diagnóstico. As bases de dados utilizadas no estudo foram Scielo e PubMed. Os critérios de inclusão foram: artigos publicados entre 2014 e 2019, com acesso gratuito e disponibilidade do texto no íntegra, escrito em língua portuguesa ou inglesa e artigos originais. O câncer de mama é considerado um dos tipos de cânceres que mais afeta mulheres no mundo, mas se diagnosticado precocemente, pode apresentar bom prognóstico, reduzindo assim, as taxas de mortalidade por neoplasia mamária. O controle desta doença se dá pelo diagnóstico precoce do tumor, geralmente detectado pelo exame clínico e auto-exame das mamas e pela mamografia. Entretanto, diversos estudos vêm relacionando a Ressonância Magnética com o diagnóstico de câncer de mama. Observou-se que apesar de não existir um consenso na literatura sobre a utilização da Ressonância Magnética no diagnóstico do câncer de mama, este método de diagnóstico é muito importante para avaliar o câncer mamário. Sua efetividade alta associada com outros métodos, como a mamografia, representam o padrão ouro no diagnóstico do câncer de mama.

Published: March 2022

A violência contar as mulheres é um flagelo que atinge diversos estratos sociais da população brasileira e a subnotificação torna difícil a organização de políticas públicas que visem resguardar as mulheres dos danos físicos e psicológicos desse mal. Essa pesquisa analisou e traçou o perfil da mulher vítima de violência município de Lajeado, objetivando uma possível orientação de políticas de acolhimento e minimização de danos adotadas pelos serviços de saúde pública, especialmente as Estratégias de saúde da Família. Para tanto, foi analisado o banco de dados existente na Delegacia de Polícia Especializada no atendimento da Mulher (DEAM). Sobre o tipo de violência que vitima as mulheres, 25,7% são classificadas como física; 41,2% são agressões de natureza psicológica; 26,1% são de ordem moral, calúnia, difamação, ofensas a honra e divulgação de material sexual audiovisual envolvendo a vítima; 3,0% são violências patrimoniais e 4,0% são ocorrências de violência sexual. Conclui-se que a violência contra a mulher não é uma exclusividade de determinada classe social, nível de escolaridade ou faixa etária exclusiva, ela se encontra grassando mulheres de todas as características. Porém, devido a certas peculiaridades demográficas da microrregião do Vale do Taquari, alguns desses fatores se sobressaem, especialmente o fator etnia e escolaridade.

PREVALÊNCIA DE ORTOREXIA NERVOSA EM ESTUDANTES DA ÁREA DA SAÚDE DE UMA UNIVERSIDADE DO RIO GRANDE DO SUL
Authors: Rech Eduarda , Conde Simara Rufatto
Published: March 2022

A Ortorexia nervosa (ON) caracteriza-se como um comportamento obsessivo e patológico por uma alimentação saudável. Indivíduos com comportamentos de ON possuem a alimentação seletiva, preferindo consumir alimentos saudáveis, o que influencia na manutenção do peso corporal. É evidente um crescente número de indivíduos preocupados com a alimentação, principalmente profissionais da área da saúde. O objetivo do presente estudo foi avaliar a prevalência de ON e sua relação com o estado nutricional em estudantes universitários. Estudo transversal quantitativo, realizado em uma Universidade do interior do Rio Grande do Sul, com 78 indivíduos na faixa etária de 20 a 50 anos de ambos os sexos, aplicando um questionário online utilizando o ORTO-15, além dos dados sexo, curso, peso e altura autorreferidos. Os dados foram analisados pelo teste estatístico de Associação Exato de Fisher. Os resultados foram considerados significativos a um nível de significância máximo de 5% (p≤0,05) e o software utilizado para esta análise foi o Epi Info 7.2. Com a análise de dados verificou-se que 70,51% (n = 55) apresentou pontuação >40, indicando risco de ON. Desses, 71,2% (n = 52) eram do sexo feminino e do total da amostra, 71,9% (n=46) encontravam-se em estado nutricional de eutrofia segundo classificação do Índice de Massa Corporal (IMC). A maior frequência do transtorno alimentar foi encontrada no curso de Nutrição e o risco de desenvolvimento do transtorno mostrou-se maior em indivíduos com IMC de eutrofia. Não houve associação significativa entre a classificação do IMC, sexo e idade com a presença de ON, sendo necessários mais estudos acerca do tema com acadêmicos da área da saúde para verificar as variáveis associadas ao riso de ON e a associação com o estado nutricional.
CONSUMO ALIMENTAR, ESTADO NUTRICIONAL E SEGURANÇA ALIMENTAR E NUTRICIONAL DOS BENEFICIÁRIOS DO PROGRAMA BOLSA FAMÍLIA
Authors: Kuhn Giovana Daniele , Schmitt Mariane , Fassina Patricia
Published: March 2022

O Programa Bolsa Família (PBF) visa complementar a renda das famílias beneficiárias. No entanto, brasileiros beneficiados vêm aumentando o consumo de alimentos industrializados, com maior densidade energética e menor valor nutricional. Este fato demonstra que o aumento do poder aquisitivo não vem acompanhado de escolhas alimentares mais saudáveis, favorecendo modificações no estado nutricional e contribuindo para o aumento da prevalência de sobrepeso e obesidade. Neste contexto, objetivou-se avaliar a repercussão do PBF no consumo alimentar, estado nutricional e nível de segurança alimentar e nutricional das famílias beneficiárias. Estudo de revisão integrativa da literatura realizado por meio da busca de artigos científicos nas bases de dados SciELO, Medline e LILACS. Foram selecionados 13 estudos publicados nos últimos dez anos, incluídos apenas estudos do tipo observacionais e excluídos aqueles baseados em dados secundários, artigos de revisão e estudos que não estabeleceram associação entre o Programa Bolsa Família e a segurança alimentar e nutricional. Os dados foram analisados por temas, agrupando-se as informações semelhantes em uma mesma categoria, sendo: consumo alimentar, estado nutricional e segurança alimentar e nutricional. Os resultados revelaram que após a inclusão das famílias no programa, o consumo alimentar dos beneficiários aumentou de forma quantitativa, observando-se maior frequência no consumo de alimentos ultraprocessados, o que justifica a prevalência de excesso de peso encontrada nesta população. O recurso repassado promoveu melhora no acesso aos alimentos, mas não na qualidade nutricional, evidenciando-se ainda níveis de insegurança alimentar elevados. Assim, conclui-se que o Programa Bolsa Família repercutiu positivamente apenas para o aumento do consumo alimentar, diminuindo a fome, porém as proporções de Insegurança Alimentar continuam elevadas e o estado nutricional inadequado, devido às escolhas alimentares.

O objetivo deste estudo é comparar as variáveis relacionadas à gestação, ao parto e ao recém-nascido em mulheres praticantes de hidroginástica e em não praticantes. Esta pesquisa é um estudo longitudinal de coorte misto, com duração de junho/2019 a abril/2020, sendo o estudo aprovado pelo Comitê de Ética em Pesquisa. Participaram do estudo oito gestantes praticantes de hidroginástica e oito gestantes não praticantes. Foram aplicados três questionários no terceiro trimestre gestacional: um para avaliar a qualidade de vida, outro para avaliar o nível de atividade física e outro para avaliar o ganho de peso gestacional, intercorrências gestacionais e do recém- nascido, tipo de parto, peso e escore de Apgar do recém-nascido. Os resultados desta pesquisa revelaram não haver diferenças estatisticamente significativas em nenhuma das variáveis estudadas entre gestantes praticantes de hidroginástica e não praticantes. Desta forma, conclui-se que a hidroginástica se mostrou uma prática de atividade física segura às gestantes, apresentando parâmetros similares com as gestantes não praticantes.
SAÚDE INDÍGENA EM TEMPOS DE PANDEMIA: RELAÇÕES DE RESPEITO ÀS ESPECIFIDADES CULTURAIS DOS INDÍGENAS KAINGANG NO CAMPO DA SAÚDE
Authors: Assmann Bruna Fonseca , Laroque Luís Fernando da Silva , Magalhães Magna Lima
Published: March 2022

O presente artigo aborda a temática da saúde indígena, buscando trazer a luz o modo como são, e foram, acessados os direitos relativos à saúde, durante o período pandêmico de Covid-19, selecionando como estudo de caso uma terra indígena em contexto urbano no Vale do Taquari/RS. A metodologia empregada foi qualitativa, de carácter descritivo, utilizando-se da revisão bibliográfica construída a partir de fontes documentais e orais sobre e com os Kaingang. Recorreu-se ainda o uso de diários de campo do acervo de Projeto de Pesquisa e Extensão da Univates. Os principais resultados evidenciaram que, apesar da legislação brasileira garantir aos Kaingang e outros povos indígenas o atendimento diferenciado, com respeito à diversidade cultural, o acolhimento às demandas dos indígenas é pouco efetivo, uma vez que os profissionais de saúde tendem a não compreender a perspectiva indígena na relação saúde-doença, situação ainda mais complexa em tempos de pandemia. A conclusão reitera que políticas públicas de saúde não contemplam adequadamente os aspectos cosmológicos dos povos indígenas brasileiros, que são múltiplos, distanciando ambas as culturas.
ENTRE CÁPSULAS, COMPRIMIDOS E DISCURSOS: OS SIGNIFICADOS DOS PSICOFÁRMACOS PARA USUÁRIOS DA ATENÇÃO PRIMÁRIA À SAÚDE
Authors: Libio Larissa , Pavan Detoni Priscila , Schwingel Glademir
Published: March 2022

O estudo buscou compreender os significados e sentidos produzidos por usuários de psicofármacos da Atenção Primária à Saúde (APS) acerca da experiência com esses medicamentos. Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa que utilizou entrevistas semiestruturadas e a Análise de Práticas Discursivas de Mary Jane Spink para a compreensão do fenômeno. Participaram da pesquisa oito mulheres e um homem, com idade média de 50 anos, usuários de psicofármacos, vinculados à uma Estratégia de Saúde da Família (ESF) de um município do interior do Rio Grande do Sul. Os resultados demonstram que os medicamentos atuam como estratégias para lidar com o desconforto decorrente de situações familiares, sociais e econômicas. A permanência deste uso se justifica pela possibilidade de alívio dos sintomas indesejados e na percepção de produtividade e bem-estar, considerados efeitos positivos dos medicamentos pelos usuários. Os sentidos produzidos refletem a relação do sujeito com o sofrimento na contemporaneidade, em que o medicamento é eleito pelo usuário e equipe de saúde como principal recurso de cuidado. Compreende-se que novos estudos se fazem necessários a fim de problematizar o uso de psicofármacos na APS, considerando a interlocução entre usuários, equipes de saúde e a promoção de outras estratégias de cuidado para além do medicamento.

Corporate governance and economic performance: A case study of the developing country
Authors: Prasad Vishwa Hamendra , Sharma Vishal Deepak , Bano Shabnam Sazma , Chand Melvin Nitesh
Published: March 2022

This paper examines principle-based corporate governance (CG) and the economic performance of the Fijian economy. A comprehensive study for three public cooperations, namely the National Bank of Fiji (NBF), Fiji Sugar Cooperation (FSC), and Fiji National Provident Fund (FNPF), is undertaken. The economic assessment of the Fijian economy exists from the period 2017 to 2021, and immense discussion related to the GDP growth rate and export markets has been conducted. The research paper adopts a case study method, and reference has been made to company reports and existing literature to conclude on the compliance of CG virtues. The findings reveal that FNPF, NBF, and FSC experienced corporate collapse due to deficiencies, deception, and improper CG practice. The failure of NBF was a major blow on the Fijian economy, while large losses from FSC imposed risk on the stakeholders of the sugar industry. FNPF had also managed to overcome the write-off of 2010 with the help of good CG, but the wrong decisions by the relevant authorities had created fear among the retirement savers. The selected cooperations reveal important lessons for other Fijian companies. Although the research does not determine the CG index or compare the practice of CG between public and private firms, the achieved results point out the need to make companies follow the principles of CG and train personnel to instil ethical behaviours, transparency, and accountability
Editorial: Implications of different corporate governance models in emerging and developing economies
Authors: Owusu Andrews
Published: March 2022

On behalf of the editorial team, I am extremely honoured to introduce you to the Special Issue of Volume 11 (2022) of the Journal of Governance and Regulation. As you may be aware, a number of corporate governance regulations have been implemented around the world including the principles-based approach to corporate governance in the United Kingdom (UK) and the rules-based approach to corporate governance in the United States (USA). In Continental Europe, the two-tier board model is dominant while the Japanese business network model and the Asian family-based model contribute to the list (Larcker & Tayan, 2021; Farag, Mallin, & Ow-Yong, 2018; Mallin, 2018; Judge, 2010). However, the effectiveness of these different corporate governance regulations in ensuring accountability is not yet clear in emerging and developing economies.

Conceptual framework for integrating environmental sustainability into supplier selection in procurement decisions
Authors: Ayarkwa Joshua , Ograh Tonny , Osei‐Asibey Dickson , Acheampong Alex , Amoah Peter
Published: March 2022

Theories are used to improve conceptualization of research ideas. These theories enhance valuable elucidations that helps us to grasp the meaning of research findings. Nevertheless, the use of theories to promote studies in green supplier selection in procurement decisions has attracted little attention. With the emergence of sustainable procurement, public procurement practitioners in Ghana are yet to achieve relevant knowledge on green supplier selections due to insufficient knowledge and inadequate appropriate frameworks. The flagrancy of the consequences of public procurers’ failure to integrate environmental considerations into supplier selection explains the adoption of a multi-theory approach for comprehension of the dynamics of green integration into supplier selection. In this paper, the practicality of three theories for improving the understanding of the influential factors enhancing the integration of environmental sustainability into supplier selection was reviewed. The three theories are: Resource Based Theory, Human Capital Theory and Absorptive Capacity Theory. This review uncovered knowledge management, top management commitment, and environmental management capabilities as important elements needed for the integration of environmental sustainability into supplier selection in public procurement. The theoretical review yielded a framework that conceptualizes knowledge and capabilities of practitioners relevant to incorporation of environmental sustainability into supplier selection in public procurement.

Authors: Xie Junyang , Chen Gui , Liang Tianhao , Li Ang , Liu Weixing , Wang Yiyan , Wang Xiaofen , Kuang Xiaoxuan , Han Demin , Liao Wenjing , Song Lijuan , Zhang Xiaowen
Published: March 2022

Background: World-wide incidence and prevalence of both asthma and type
1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) in children has been increasing in past
decades. Association between the two diseases has been found in some but
not other studies. Objective: We conducted a meta-analysis to verify
such an association, and bidirectional Mendelian randomization analysis
to examine the potential cause-effect relationships. Methods: Three
databases (PubMed, Embase and Web of Science) were searched from their
inception to February 1, 2021. Pooled hazard ratios (HR) or odds ratios
(OR), and 95% confidence intervals, were calculated. Associations
between single-nucleotide polymorphisms with childhood asthma and T1DM
were selected based on genome-wide association studies. The outcome
datasets were obtained from FinnGen study. We used the inverse
variance-weighted, weighted median and MR-Egger methods to estimate
causal effects. To assess robustness and horizontal pleiotropy, MR-Egger
regression and MR pleiotropy residual sum and outlier test was
conducted. Results: In meta-analysis, childhood asthma was associated
with an increased risk of T1DM (HR=1.30, 95% CI 1.05-1.61, P=0.014),
whereas T1DM was not associated with the risk of asthma (HR=0.98, 95%
CI 0.64-1.51, P=0.941; OR=0.84, 95% CI 0.65-1.08, P=0.168). MR analysis
indicated increased genetic risk of T1DM in children with asthma
(OR=1.308; 95% CI 1.030-1.661; P =0.028). Analysis using the IVW method
indicated not associated between T1DM and genetic risk of asthma
(OR=1.027, 95%CI 0.970-1.089, P=0.358). Conclusion: Both meta-analysis
and MR study suggested that childhood asthma was a risk factor for T1DM.
No epidemiological or genetic evidence for an association of T1DM with
asthma incidence. Further studies could be carried out to leverage this
newfound insight into better clinical and experimental research in
asthma and T1DM. Further studies could be carried out to leverage this
newfound insight into better clinical and experimental research in
asthma and T1DM.

Introduction and objective Drugs are a frequent cause of severe
anaphylactic reactions. Clinical epidemiology of drug-induced
anaphylaxis (DIA) supports the identification of the most frequent
eliciting drug groups, risk factors, symptoms and treatment procedures.
Our aim was to analyze data to promote better recognition and long-term
management of affected individuals. Methods Data from the
European Anaphylaxis Registry (2007-2019) with 1,815 cases of
drug-induced anaphylaxis were analyzed regarding demographics,
elicitors, symptoms, comorbidities, and treatment. Results The
most frequent eliciting groups of drugs were analgesics (41.27%) –
with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) being the most
common subgroup (65.42%) – antibiotics (33.17%), local anesthetics
(7.38%) and radiocontrast media (5.18%). Adrenaline was used more
often in patients with DIA (23.20%) than in anaphylaxis due to other
causes (17.82%). The majority of events occurred in female patients
(65.34%), although they were admitted to hospital (29.01%) or an
intensive care unit (ICU) (9.61%) less often. Skin symptoms were most
common (84.02%), while gastrointestinal symptoms were reported less
frequently (30.25%). Compared to other anaphylactic reactions in the
registry (food/insects) severe reactions occurred significantly more
often in DIA (5.62% vs. 1.67%). Hospitalization (31.63%) and ICU
admission rates (11.85%) were significantly higher in DIA than
anaphylactic reactions to other elicitors (27.58% and 5.45%).
Conclusions DIA affects middle aged females more frequently and
is more severe in elderly males in the sample observed. Analgesics and
antibiotics are the leading causes of DIA. Adrenaline was rarely
administered to patients, even though it is recommended by guidelines.
Entomopathogenic Infection of Foundress Queen-Ant (Camponotus pennsylvanicus) by the fungus Fusarium solani
Authors: Saltamachia Stephen James
Published: March 2022

Members of the Fusarium solani species complex are common in the
environment and are known pathogens of plants and animals, including
humans. Some species have been shown to possess opportunistic
nutritional modes as both endophytes and entomopathogens, even
conferring a protective service against herbivory for their host plants.
The Fusaria are also notorious for the production of bioactive
metabolites of industrial, agricultural and medicinal interest. Here we
present the first report of F. solani causing entomopathogenic
infection of a carpenter ant queen (Camponotus pennsylvanicus),
an important pest in the agriculture industry and a species capable of
costly structural damage to homes. This report expands the known
invertebrate host range of the F. solani species complex to
include the Hymenoptera.
Pastoralist Mobility along the Sudanese Ethiopian Borderland: Towards Cooperative Land Management
Authors: Sulieman Hussein , Babekir Adam , Ahmed Abdel Ghaffar
Published: March 2022

This study followed an interdisciplinary mixed approach that consisted
of social research methods and geospatial technology to investigate the
livestock mobility of four pastoralists groups from Sudan and two
Ethiopian pastoralist groups who fled to Sudan due to the conflict in
the Tigray region. The study area is a shared borderland located between
the two countries and is part of Gadarif State in Sudan and the Tigray
and Amhara regions in Ethiopia. The findings of the study showed that
there are diverse types of pastoral mobility, ranging from short and
circular movement to wide and directional type of mobility in response
to seasonal climatic factors, the spread of mechanized farming and the
eruption of insecurity events. Despite facing numerous challenges
including the governments’ opposition to cross border movement and the
prevalence of looting and rustling, trans-boundary mobility is practiced
by most pastoralist groups in the borderland. The current ongoing
conflict in the Tigary region forced many Ethiopian pastoralists to flee
to Sudan with their animals, and they have had to cope with this
situation by reducing the number of heads they own and limit their
mobility to a more confined area. Despite competing claims by both
governments, there is a pressing need for a cooperative land management
policy that applies soft border arrangements that incorporate customary
land use rights for pastoralists from both sides, instead of the
hardline border policies currently in place.

The article presents the results of a clinical and epidemiological analysis of 47 cases of botulism in adults treated at the State Medical Institution «Regional Infectious Clinical Hospital named after A.M. Nichoga» in Astrakhan in the period from 2009 to 2019. The diagnosis of botulism was confirmed by a positive reaction of biological neutralization of the toxin in white mice.Results. It is established that the epidemic process of botulism in the Astrakhan region is characterized mainly by sporadic morbidity in adults of working age and the absence of cases of the disease in children. All patients had food botulism, which occurred typically in the form of moderate and severe forms of the disease, with a mortality rate of 4.2%.

Cumulative Effects of Industrial Development and Treaty 8 Infringements in Northeastern British Columbia: The Litigation Yahey v. BC (S151727) – Case Comment
Authors: Amatulli Giuseppe
Published: March 2022

On June 29, 2021, the BC Supreme Court issued the verdict of the Yahey v. British Columbia litigation (S151727). For the first time in Canadian legal history, a First Nation Band (BRFN – BlueBerry River First Nation) sued a provincial Government for the cumulative effects of industrial development intertwined with Treaty 8 infringements. The proceeding lasted for six years (2015–2021), with more than 160 days of trials and dozens of hours of affidavits sworn, and it resulted in a ground-breaking verdict. The Court recognised that in authorising industrial development, the Province had been unable to consider and deal with the cumulative impacts that projects had on the traditional lifestyle of BRFN members, besides breaching its obligation to BRFN under Treaty 8.
This comment argues that by recognising that the Province cannot continue to authorise activities that breach Treaty 8 and Section 35 of the 1982 Constitution, the verdict may pave the way to a real implementation of the FPIC (Free, Prior and Informed Consent) in the BC legal framework. The ruling provides that the BC Government and the Band engage in meaningful consultation and negotiation to enforce mechanisms to assess and manage cumulative effects on the BRFN traditional territory. The parties were given six months to negotiate based on the litigation outcomes. On October 7, 2021, a preliminary agreement between the BRFN and the BC Province was signed. Important issues had been addressed throughout the trial. From confidentiality and the duty to consult in good faith to the constitutionality of Court hearing fees and the possibility to obtain other kinds of injunctions until the trial; the outcomes of this litigation may well be considered as a milestone to advance the Canadian legal framework, further recognising essential rights of Canadian Indigenous peoples in terms of Constitutional, social, and environmental justice.

Published: March 2022

The transition from face-to-face to online education might be delayed not just by the needed computer abilities, but also by shifting self-concept requirements for instructors. The goal of this study was to expand existing knowledge of the phenomena of Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) in e-learning classrooms that emphasize experiential function. The subjects were undergraduate students of the English Department who enrolled in Indonesia Open University elearning classroom. The objectives of the study are : 1) to identify the types of discourse in experiential function used by tutor online and students ; 2) to analyze the experiential function used by tutor online in elearning classroom ; 3) to investigate the types of discourse in experiential function dominantly used by tutor online and students. Descriptive qualitative research was implemented to reveal the data from discourse of online tutor and students in e-learning classrooms. The finding provides tutor online and students perform experiential function in their discourse in the process of teaching-learning in the classroom. There were 35 clauses found in the discourse including process, participants, and circumstances. Types of experiential function used by online tutor and students of Indonesia Open University were 1) Participant such as Actor, Goal, Senser, Phenomenon, Possessor, Possessed, Sayer, Verbiage and Carrier, 2) Process such as Material, Mental, Relational and Verbal, 3) Circumstance such as Location, Manner, Cause and Matter. More specifically, critical discourse analysis exists and incorporates textually and contextually communication signals. Hence, online tutors and students frequently employ some forms of experiential function in their e-learning conversations. Keywords: critical discourse analysis, experiential function, categories of experiential function, e-learning classroom, Indonesia Open University

Objective: The purpose of this study was to compare renal transplant recipients healthy controls, in order to find scintigraphic signs of hyposplenism or hypersplenism by using qualitative and quantitative liver-spleen scan parameters. Material and Methods: Scanning parameters were evaluated in 88 renal transplant recipients and 59 controls after administration of 5-mCi of 99mTc-stannous colloid. Spleen uptake was characterized as normal, low, or high in comparison to the liver and bone marrow pattern uptake was described as normal or high.  The images were drawn over the liver and spleen for counting scintillations and measuring the area. Spleen/liver ratio from controls was correlated with qualitative spleen uptake of renal transplant recipients. Immunosuppressive regimens consisted of combinations of azathioprine or mycophenolate mofetil and rapamycin, tacrolimus or cyclosporine. Results: renal transplant recipients took up more radiocolloid and had larger livers and spleens than controls. Cases of lower (hyposplenism) and higher (hypersplenism) uptake in the spleen were more frequent in renal transplant recipients than in controls. There was a good correlation between spleen uptake of renal transplant recipients and spleen/liver ratio of controls. Discussion: renal transplant recipients liver and spleen took up more radiocolloid consistent with their enlarged state, likely due to activation of the mononuclear phagocyte system, probably by repeated exposure to infection. Low and high splenic uptake were found in renal transplant recipients, these findings are consistent with diagnosis of hyposplenism and hypersplenism respectively. Quantitative methods validated visual assessment.

Paraduodenal hernia is a rare congenital anomaly that arises from an error of rotation of the midgut. The duodenum and the small intestine become trapped in a sac which is lined by the peritoneum, behind the mesentery of the colon, either to the right or left of the midline. It is therefore a rare and potentially life-threatening condition that can cause intestinal obstruction progressing to strangulation and perforation. The present report shows the case of left paraduduinal hernia in a 21 years old patient, Diagnosed with CT scan and underwent a surgical successful management.

We propose an integrated 3D image capture and display system using a transversely moving camera, regular 2D display screen and user tracking that can facilitate the multi-view capture of a real scene or object and display the captured perspective views in 3D. The motion parallax 3D technique is used to capture the depth information of the object and display the corresponding views to the user using head tracking. The system is composed of two parts, the first part consists of a horizontally moving camera interfaced with a customized camera control and capture application. The second part consist of a regular LCD screen combined with web camera and user tracking application. The 3D multi-view images captured through the imaging setup are relayed to the display based on the user location and corresponding view is dynamically displayed on the screen based on the viewing angle of the user with respect to the screen. The developed prototype system provides the multi-view capture of 60 views with the step size of 1 cm and greater than 40˚ field-of-view overlap. The display system relays 60 views providing the viewing angle coverage of ±35˚ where the angular difference between two views is 1.2˚.

Taking 50 companies listed in Shanghai and Shenzhen stock market from 2015 to 2019 as sample, the DEA-Tobit model is used to measure the managerial capability in two steps, and OLS regression is used to test whether the managerial capability affects the investment efficiency. We further test the moderating effect of property rights on the relationship between managerial capability on investment efficiency.  Empirical results show that managerial capability positively influences investment efficiency. Further research indicates that, compared to privately-owned enterprises, state-owned enterprises will restrain the effect of managerial capability to improve investment efficiency.
