ETHICAL NORMS AS REGULATORS OF LABOR RELATIONS, AND UNSPORTING BEHAVIOR OF A TRAINER ON THE INTERNET AS A BASIS FOR TERMINATION OF A LABOR AGREEMENT
Authors: Ofman E , Stanskova U
Published: March 2020

Aim. The purpose of the study is to establish the legal consequences of violation of ethical standards by employees and to determine the content of the misconduct committed by the trainer and considered as incompatible with the continuation of labor relations, including those in the Internet. Materials and methods. Study and logical analysis of legislative acts and court decisions on disputes on violation of professional ethics and misconduct incompatible with the continuation of labor relations; synthesis of concepts and theoretical provisions; generalization of the advanced experience of foreign countries. Results. The analysis of legislative acts and court decisions on disputes on violation of professional ethics and misconduct incompatible with the continuation of labor relations allowed us to determine the cases when ethical and moral standards can act as regulators of labor relations and also allowed to establish the criteria for misconduct committed by trainers on the Internet and being the basis for dismissal. Conclusion. In the guidelines of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation, it is necessary to state a list of approximate criteria for assessing immoral misconduct committed by a trainer, including those in the Internet. These include: the employee's attitude to the committed act, including the possibility/probability of the recurrence of such behavior; time limitation of the commission of an act; assessment of the consequences of such behavior (whether this behavior led to violation or deterioration of discipline or the educational process); the attitude of colleagues and students towards misconduct; the recognition of obscenity and conflict with public morality in the actions of the employee. This conclusion is proved by the positive experience of foreign countries. It is unacceptable to publicize unethical behavior of employees without their written consent or to submit such cases for general discussion. In order to effectively regulate labor relations and observe ethical standards in professional activity, specific guidelines for Internet behavior should be included in the codes of professional ethics of trainers and teachers.
Über eine Gruppe hochmittelalterlicher Prunksporen im Südwesten der Ostsee
Authors: Biermann Felix
Published: March 2020

A small group of richly decorated spurs has been known for a long time for their characteristic non-ferrous metal covering as well as massive bronze or brass thorn points. Most of them have been found in in the states of Hamburg and Schleswig-Holstein. They are so similar that they could have been manufactured, if not in the same workshop, at least in the same region. The embossed metal sheath, reminiscent of the Late Slavic technology of sheath fittings, could indicate a the Slavic craft tradition. The latest find from a deserted village of Kastaven near Sähle, Oberhavel district in northern Brandenburg, sheds new light on this group of objects. The Kastaven spur has been found in the central area of the settlement which existed between the early 13th and the 15th centuries, in the vicinity of ruins of a church or a churchyard. The spur was probably lost at the village foundation phase, in the early 13th century. This context is of importance to the disputed chronology of the entire spur group, dated back to the late 12th and the early 13th centuries. The finds in Hamburg, Holstein, Eastern Mecklenburg and Northern Brandenburg indicate contacts between the élites in the southwest of the Baltic, related to migrations of petty nobility within the German Eastern Settlement or a communication network of the Slavic Leaders in the Abodrite/Mecklenburg cultural area.

The role of extracellular vesicles in prostate cancer with clinical applications
Authors: Tai Yu-Ling , Lin Chun-Jung , Li Tsai-Kun , Shen Tang-Long , Hsieh Jer-Tsong , Chen Benjamin P C
Published: March 2020

In mammalian cells, extracellular vesicles (EVs) derived from the endosomal system carry many different kinds of bioactive molecule to deliver to recipient cells in a paracrine or endocrine manner. EVs can mediate local and systemic intercellular communications, including reeducating stromal cells, remodeling the architecture of the tumor microenvironment, modulating cancer metabolism and metastases, or even conferring drug resistance. Because the molecular and functional characteristics of prostate cancer (PCa) evolve over time, the bioactive molecule profiles/signatures of tumor-derived EVs (TDEs) reflect the real-time status of cancer cells. TDEs appear to be valuable diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers as well as potential therapeutic vehicles, suggesting their essential role in precision medicine of disease management. We summarized critical aspects of TDEs in PCa and discussed their potential clinical applications.
A Missing Link Between Job Autonomy and Unethical Behavior
Authors: Ahmed Ambreen , Shamsi Aamir Firoz , Aziz Mudassar
Published: March 2020

The purpose of this paper is to theoretically address a surprising omission in literature by proposing a cognitive mechanism that sanctions individual-level unethical behaviors. This secondary literature-based qualitative study fills a theoretical gap by employing an extensive review of substantive empirical and theoretical literature of the last 15 years. However, those who consider their moral identity necessary for their self-concept are less likely to behave unethically. This proposed process, along with the path suggested by previous studies, in which individuals are having job autonomy feel unconstrained by rules before engaging in unethical behaviors. So, it proposes an underlying cognitive mechanism between job autonomy and unethical behavior. This study implies that it clarifies job autonomy’s role in promoting the negative outcome of employees’ unethical behaviors and informs organizational policymakers about the importance of satisfying the need for job autonomy.JEL Classification: D23, M12, M51, O15How to Cite:Ahmed, A., Shamsi, A.

Published: March 2020

The case of corporate financial statement fraud committed by company management is a phenomenon that often occurs and occurs repeatedly. This condition is exacerbated by the involvement of external auditors to support the fraud. This study aims to determine the effect of corporate governance and audit quality and find out the ownership concentration moderating corporate governance and audit quality. This study uses moderated regression analysis and research samples on manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange in 2017-2018. The results of the study stated that corporate governance did not affect audit quality, and the presence of ownership concentration strengthened the effect of the effectiveness of corporate governance on audit quality. The implication of this research is to minimize earnings management practices. The effectiveness of corporate governance expects to run well and regulate the composition of ownership into something fundamental to implement.JEL Classification: G32, G34How to Cite:Widani, N.

Published: March 2020

BACKGROUND:

The ability of the decades-old Boston and Philadelphia criteria to accurately identify infants at low risk for serious bacterial infections has not been recently reevaluated.

METHODS:

We assembled a multicenter cohort of infants 29 to 60 days of age who had cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and blood cultures obtained. We report the performance of the modified Boston criteria (peripheral white blood cell count [WBC] ≥20 000 cells per mm3, CSF WBC ≥10 cells per mm3, and urinalysis with >10 WBC per high-power field or positive urine dip result) and modified Philadelphia criteria (peripheral WBC ≥15 000 cells per mm3, CSF WBC ≥8 cells per mm3, positive CSF Gram-stain result, and urinalysis with >10 WBC per high-power field or positive urine dip result) for the identification of invasive bacterial infections (IBIs). We defined IBI as bacterial meningitis (growth of pathogenic bacteria from CSF culture) or bacteremia (growth from blood culture).

RESULTS:

We applied the modified Boston criteria to 8344 infants and the modified Philadelphia criteria to 8131 infants. The modified Boston criteria identified 133 of the 212 infants with IBI (sensitivity 62.7% [95% confidence interval (CI) 55.9% to 69.3%] and specificity 59.2% [95% CI 58.1% to 60.2%]), and the modified Philadelphia criteria identified 157 of the 219 infants with IBI (sensitivity 71.7% [95% CI 65.2% to 77.6%] and specificity 46.1% [95% CI 45.0% to 47.2%]). The modified Boston and Philadelphia criteria misclassified 17 of 53 (32.1%) and 13 of 56 (23.3%) infants with bacterial meningitis, respectively.

CONCLUSIONS:

The modified Boston and Philadelphia criteria misclassified a substantial number of infants 29 to 60 days old with IBI, including those with bacterial meningitis.

Combinatorial invariant of Morse-Smale diffeomorphisms on surfaces with orientable heteroclinic
Authors: Morozov Andrey I. , Pochinka Olga V.
Published: March 2020

In this paper we consider class of orientation-preserving Morse-Smale diffeomorphisms f, given on orientable surface M2. In their articles A.A.~Bezdenezhnich and V. Z. Grines has shown, that such diffeomorfisms contain finite number of heteroclinic orbits. Moreover, the problem of classification for such diffeomorphisms is reduced to the problem of distinguishing orientable graphs with substitutions describing the geometry of heteroclinic intersections. Howewer, these graphs generally do not allow polynomial distinguishing algorithms. In this paper, we propose a new approach to the classification of such cascades. To this end, each considered diffeomorphism f is associated with a graph whose embeddablility in the ambient surface makes it possible to construct an effective algoritm for distinguishing such graphs.
A Sociological Portrait of the Animal Welfare Movement in Russia
Authors: Polutin Sergey V. , Samoilova Elena A.
Published: March 2020

Introduction. Promotion of volunteerism plays an important role in the formation of civil society in Russia. The animal welfare movement is one of the areas of such socially significant activities. Studies in this field are of relevance and practical significance, since the development of the animal welfare movement is a kind of social marker of the moral state of society. The study is aimed at identifying the organizational forms of the animal welfare movement in Russia as well as the motivation for people to participate in this activity, and at drawing up a sociological portrait of the Russian animal welfare activist.

Materials and Methods. The article presents the results of two sociological studies: a survey of animal welfare activists (2017) done using the method of informal guided (semi-structured) interviews and an online survey of members of animal welfare groups on social networks (2019) conducted using ‘snowball sampling’ technique.

Results. A portrait of a typical representative of the animal welfare movement in Russia has been done. The main achievements and problems of the animal welfare movement in Russia have been identified. The social composition of the animal welfare movement has been revealed as well as the activists’ motivation for participation in volunteering. An assessment of the level of development of the animal welfare in Russia as a whole and in the home regions of the animal welfare activists has been presented.

Discussion and Conclusion. The animal welfare movement is represented at the regional and federal levels, the degree of its development being a certain marker of the state of public morality and the level of maturity of civil society. However, the effectiveness of animal welfare activities is constrained by a number of factors: legal, organizational, financial, and informational ones. Overcoming these barriers depends on a sustainable dialogue between the authorities and civil society, especially at the regional level. The practical significance of the study lies in the possibility of using its results by the authorities and volunteer movements for the implementation of civil initiatives and their legislative support at the federal and regional levels.
Contrast enhanced magnetic resonance imaging in assessment of aortic atherosclerosis and its relation to severity of myocardial injury due to infarction

Published: March 2020

Aim. To study the contrast enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (CE-MRI) role in assessment of aortic atherosclerosis and its relation to severity of myocardial injury in myocardial infarction (MI) patients which underwent cardiac MRI before coronary artery bypass grafting and Dor or Menicanti procedures.

Material and methods. The study included 42 patients (38 men, 4 women) who underwent CE-MRI (mean age 57,7±8,75 years). In order to analyze the aortic atherosclerosis, axial T1 weighted images before and after 10-15 minutes after CE was evaluated. Along with visual analysis, the diameter, thickness of the aortic wall, and index of enhancement (IE) of T1 weighted image (WI) (TR=400-650 ms, TE=12-20 ms), as the ratio of postand precontrast intensities of the aortic wall: IE=(Intensity T1-WI post-contrast)/ (Intensity T1-WI pre-contrast) were determined. According to the cardiac CEMRI, the proportion of left ventricle (LV) injury as the ratio of the MI injury and theLV mass was estimated.

Results. Depending on aortic IE value, patients were divided into three groups: group 1 (9 people) with IE ≤1,05; group 2 (15 people) with 1,05< IE ≤1,15; group 3 (18 people) with IE >1,15. We compared the descending aortic wall thickness and the diameter among these groups. To identify intergroup differences one-way ANOVA with Bonferroni correction was carried out. There were no significant differences in the descending aortic diameters (F=0,15; p=0,86): group 1 — 2,41±0,33, group 2 — 2,54±0,63, group 3 — 2,53±0,51 cm. The thickness of the aortic wall in groups was 2,05±0,58 mm, 3,34±0,68 mm and 3,80±0,46 mm (F=17,39; p< 0,001), respectively. The first and second, first and third groups were distinguished, and there was no significant difference between the second and third groups. Between groups 1, 2 and 3 were also noted the increase and differences in proportion of LV injury, which amounted to 0,11±0,03 with a minimum IE (group 1), with an intermediate IE (group 2) — 0,19±0,08, and with high IE — 0,25±0,15.

Conclusion. CE-MRI of the aortic wall can be used as a method of visualizing atherosclerosis and predicting the complications of aortic atherosclerosis. Moreover, the assessment of aortic atherosclerosis can be used in combination with conventional heart examination. The increased CE into the aortic wall in patients with advanced atherosclerosis is usually associated with a greater severity of myocardial injury. During cardiac CE-MRI it is advisable to assess the descending aorta state by calculation of IE T1-WI MRI to clarify the atherosclerosis severity and cardiovascular risk.

Aim. To assess eft ventricular (LV) contractility dysfunction in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) receiving chemotherapy with fludarabine, cyclophosphamide, and rituximab (FCR), and to determine the enalapril.effectiveness for their treatment.

Material and methods. The study included 49 patients with newly diagnosed Binet stage B CLL in combination with class I-II stable angina, stage 1-2 hypertension and LV ejection fraction (EF) >50%. All subjects did not take angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACE inhibitors), had no clinical signs of heart failure (HF), and all had indications for FCR combination use before study start. Patients underwent two-dimensional echocardiography initially, before starting chemotherapy (period V1) and after three (84±5 days) (V2) and six (168±7 days) (V3) courses of chemo therapy (enalapril) was added to the treatment regimen in the experimental group.

Results. After the third course of chemotherapy, a relative percentage decrease in global longitudinal strain (GLS) was noted in the experimental and control groups — by 16,16±0,80 and 16,2±0,79, respectively (p=0,764). These changes are considered a cardiotoxicity predictor. At the same time, LVEF values remained within the normal range: 63,4% [65; 68] in the experimental group and 63,9% [61,6; 67] in the control group (p=0,960). After the sixth course, LVEF values significantly differed (p=0,002): in the control group, five patients (21%) had cardiotoxicity; in experimental group, there were no patients with cardiotoxicity.

Conclusion. A clinically significant decrease in GLS is a marker of subclinical LV contractile dysfunction and is a cardiotoxicity predictor in CLL patients receiving chemotherapy with FCR. The timely addition of enalapril to the treatment regimen can prevent cardiotoxicity in such patients. The need for early assessment of GLS during FCR courses for the detection and prevention of cardiotoxicity has been proved.

Expert Council opinion describes emergency care in a sudden individually significant blood pressure (BP) increase without clinically overt target organ damage. In the new guidelines of the Russian Society of Cardiology, the term “hypertensive urgency” was abolished, and the management of a sudden BP increase was changed. At the same time, a sudden individually significant BP increase may be accompanied by symptoms that reduce patients’ quality of life and ability to work. According to experts, individually significant BP increase accompanied by symptoms requires outpatient treatment using oral rapid-onset drugs with an optimal duration of action, in particular captopril. It has a much evidence-based data on the BP increase use and sublingual administration, and also has a favorable safety profile, which allows prescribing to patients with comorbid diseases. The rationale for the use of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor Capoten (captopril) as a drug for self-management of a sudden individually significant BP increase accompanied by symptoms in hypertension patients is describes.

Authors: Santos Adriana Nancy Medeiros dos , Nogueira Dulcineia Rebecca Cappelletti , Gutierrez Beatriz Aparecida Ozello , Chubaci Rosa Yuka Sato , Oliveira Caroline Ribeiro de Borja
Published: March 2020

ABSTRACT Objectives: To estimate the prevalence of cardiometabolic diseases and their association with polypharmacy in elderly people at the University of the Third Age (Portuguese acronym: UnATI). Methods: A cross-sectional, descriptive, analytical study with 121 elderly patients. The prevalence ratio, Pearson’s Chi-square test and Fisher’s exact test were used as measures of association. Results: At the mean age of 68.3, most elderly had at least one cardiometabolic disease (82.6%), of which hypertension was the most prevalent (71.1%), and consumed prescription drugs of continuous use (92.6%). Almost half of the elderly (48.2%) used combinations of drugs, which suggests a high cardiovascular risk. Polypharmacy due to prescription was observed in almost one-third (28.6%) of the sample, associated with the use of antihypertensives (p=0.004), antidiabetics (p=0.000) or lipid-lowering agents (p<0.000). Conclusions: Clinical guidelines recommend changes in lifestyle, but increased pharmacotherapy prevails in practice, which increases the risk of adverse events, especially in old age.

Published: March 2020

Resumo A demência é uma síndrome de curso lento, progressivo e de natureza crônica, sendo o subtipo doença de Alzheimer (DA) a mais comum. Muitos estudos são realizados a partir das demandas da pessoa com demência, porém na perspectiva do cuidador eles são escassos. A pesquisa qualitativa teve como objetivo conhecer aspectos singulares da experiência do cuidar na perspectiva de cuidadoras familiares de idosos com DA, a partir de abordagem qualitativa. Foi utilizado o método fenomenológico proposto por Giorgi e Sousa. Participaram nove cuidadoras familiares (quatro esposas e cinco filhas) que cuidam de seus familiares. Esta pesquisa acompanhou o cuidar na fase inicial, moderada, avançada, em diferentes estágios da doença e no pós-óbito. A partir da questão central: “Como é para você a experiência de acompanhar seu familiar com a doença de Alzheimer?”, emergiram treze unidades temáticas que foram associadas às fases da doença. Os resultados apontaram as necessidades dos cuidadores, que vão desde o diagnóstico em fases iniciais até a criação de espaço para escuta e acolhimento diante das perdas graduais vivenciadas ao longo do processo de cuidar. Assim, é urgente o investimento em formação de profissionais em todas as áreas envolvidas no cuidar para promover qualidade de vida e bem-estar aos cuidadores. bem como a necessidade de equipes interdisciplinares para a experiência singular do cuidado em demência.

Resumo Neste artigo são discutidos aspectos concernentes ao início do convívio entre cães e humanos e às diferenças culturais que afetam as relações entre as duas espécies. O estudo das interações entre humanos e cães precisa trazer à tona a pluralidade de fenômenos interconectados: o processo de domesticação iniciado há milhares de anos, os efeitos evolutivos da relação entre as duas espécies e os aspectos culturais que influenciam a convivência entre nós. Considerando essa visão holística, enxergamos de maneira ampla o cenário interacionista, estabelecendo paralelos muitas vezes ignorados por estudos pontuais e/ou enviesados por paradigmas experimentais de baixa relevância ecológica para os animais.
Main challenges in the identification and measurement of indirect costs in projects: a multiple case study
Authors: Faria Bruno Cardoso , Vale João Walter Saunders Pacheco do , Facin Ana Lucia Figueiredo , de Carvalho Marly Monteiro
Published: March 2020

Abstract Projects have direct and indirect costs; the direct ones are easily identified and quantified, the indirect ones are difficult to control, because they are generated in favor of more than one project, and even if they are not directly related to the activities, they influence their budget. This study aims to present indirect cost identification methods, analyze the estimation models adopted for its measurement, and also analyze ways of appropriating costs in several projects. The method adopted was the analysis of multiple cases in companies of the industrial, commercial and services sectors. It was verified that projects with greater detail of the scope show less difficulty in identifying indirect costs, directly influencing the method of estimation adopted. The estimate for indirect costs is specific to each company, and its complexity is defined by the volume of data available. The appropriation of indirect costs differs between cases, but has similar objectives in its incorporation in the direct hours of the projects. It is worth highlighting the importance of project planning in the identification of indirect costs, in the choice of measurement methods, and also in the forms of costing for the budget.

Published: March 2020

ABSTRACT The importance of the functional properties of edible mushrooms as a food product has been increasing and several studies have emerged to address this issue. However, the application of a conservation process is required since this is a product with a high moisture level. The aim of this study was to investigate the drying kinetics of shiitake Lentinula edodes mushrooms by means of the construction of drying curves, the mathematical modeling of the drying curves, and correlating the data obtained with the β-glucan content in order to observe the influence of temperature on its content. The drying temperatures of 35 ºC, 45 ºC and 55 ºC were applied to construct the drying curves and the β-glucan contents of the samples were quantified. Mathematical modeling was performed in order to identify the best model for the representation of the product moisture loss during the drying period. The equilibrium humidity values were 0.346% for 35 ºC, 0.892% for 45 ºC and 0.875% for 55 ºC, and the β-glucan contents showed no significant difference for the three temperatures analyzed, as confirmed by the Tukey test. Of the eight mathematical models fitted to the drying curves, the Page and the Midilli models provided the best results. Therefore, based on the findings, 55 °C appears to be the optimum temperature for the Shiitake mushroom drying process in the studied conditions, as it provides the shortest drying time and the β-glucan content is maintained.

Authors: González-Martínez Elier , Hernández Belkis Rojas
Published: March 2020

Resumen La presencia de proyectos socioculturales comunitarios que tienen en el arte su motor impulsor ha diversificado disímiles contextos urbanos y rurales. El objetivo de esta investigación es la creación y validación de una escala que permita analizar y comprender las formas de acción y manifestación de las mediaciones culturales en las comunidades. El instrumento, compuesto por cinco dimensiones - estética, artística, participativa, axiológica y anclaje territorial - responde a un concepto de mediaciones culturales manifiestas en la construcción, reproducción e intercambio simbólico producido entre los factores culturales, los dispositivos artísticos, el territorio y el público participante de un proyecto sociocultural comunitario. Se utilizó un enfoque mixto en la investigación, donde se triangularon los resultados de varios focus groups, rondas de expertos y pruebas estadísticas que demuestran la validez y confiabilidad del instrumento. Los ítems propuestos para cada dimensión resultaron del análisis literario, de diferentes focus groups con especialistas en la temática y de la validación de expertos a través del método Delphi. El cuestionario se aplicó a 268 participantes de diversos proyectos socioculturales. El índice de consistencia interna mostró un coeficiente de 0,845, mientras que en el análisis factorial exploratorio se confirmaron las dimensiones creadas a través de las comunalidades surgidas. En el análisis factorial confirmatorio se evidenció la correlación entre todas estas dimensiones. En las subescalas, los Alpha de Cronbach fueron satisfactorios, así como la correlación entre ítems.

O presente artigo tenta compreender essa tendência dentro da profissionalização militar a partir da hipótese de que está em sua gênese a transformação da visão que o oficial tem do Exército Brasileiro, de instituição para organização. Sublinhando a análise temos a expectativa de desempenho da função militar no Brasil, a orfandade militar e a profissionalização militar. A proposta teórica utilizada para a compreensão dos dados que indicam a preferência dos cadetes mais antigos pelo Quadro de Material Bélico e pelo Serviço de Intendência será a institucional/ocupacional, segundo a perspectiva de Moskos. A hipótese que orienta este artigo é a de que, no período considerado, os cadetes mais antigos tendem a encarar a carreira no Exército como um emprego como outro qualquer.

Abstract: The multiple uses of aquatic ecosystems by humankind and the continuous interference of their activities have contributed to the emergence of potentially toxic cyanobacteria blooms. Here, we firstly created a database of occurrences of cyanobacteria blooms in Brazil through a systematic review of the scientific literature available in online platforms (e.g. Web of Science, Capes Thesis Catalogue). Secondly, we carried out ecological niche models with occurrence data obtained from these studies to predict climatically suitable areas for blooms. We select 21 bioclimatic variables input environmental data. We used five modeling methods for the current climate scenario: (1) Maxent; (2) Support Vector Machines; (3) Random Forest; (4) Maximum Likelihood e (5) Gaussian. We found that the number of publications about bloom events was higher in 2009 with a decline in the years 2012, 2013 and 2017. Furthermore, the years with the higher records of blooms in freshwater environments were 2005, 2011 e 2014. These events occurring mainly in public supply reservoirs and are mostly of the genera Microcystis Lemmermann, 1907, Dolichospermum (Ralfs ex Bornet & Flahault) P.Wacklin, L.Hoffmann & J.Komárek, 2009 and Raphidiopsis F.E.Fritsch & F.Rich, 1929. Modeling the potential distribution of blooms, we found sampling gaps that should be targeting for future researches, especially in the Amazon biome. Overall, the models did not predict highly suitable areas in the /north of Brazil, while other regions were relatively well distributed with a higher number of occurrence records in the Southeast region.

Published: March 2020

Abstract Introduction: The seemingly unshakable bipartisan political system in Spain started to crumble in the wake of the European Elections of 2014, giving way to a more fragmented distribution of seats. Such process crystallised in the Regional Elections of 2015, highlighting an already anticipated decay of traditional parties PP and PSOE and rise of populist parties like Podemos. Materials and Methods: Focusing on the discourse of Spanish politicians on Twitter, as one of the most recent political communication tools politicians had to learn to deal with, this paper offers a triangulation of quantitative and qualitative analysis. Results: We discuss, from a communication perspective, similarities and differences among parties and politicians on whether communication 2.0 changed and/or enriched political discourse leading up to a redistribution of parliamentary seats. Discussion: This paper stress the impact of social networks and the implementation of different communication strategies to address the collapse of bipartisanship in Spain.

ABSTRACT This research aimed to estimate the seasonal economic value of ecosystem goods and services from research on the use of mangroves in the Cuiarana community in the Eastern Amazon. The methodology of Total Economic Value was used, through interviews with 15 residents who extract products from the mangrove. For the ecosystem services, atmospheric carbon (measured by a micrometeorological tower), and organic carbon (monitored by soil sampling during 2017) were used. In determining product values, the quantities extracted at market prices and the value of services were estimated using carbon credits. The results indicate that the ecosystem produces 9 community assets, that generate R$ 75,033.50 (US$ 23,622.93 ha/year) and R$ 17,627.15 (US$ 5,549.58 ha/year) for capture and storage respectively. The VET value corresponded to R$ 986,132.50 (US$ 310,465.79). Ecosystem services and the economic values of atmospheric (p = 0.0278) and soil carbon credit (p = 0.0354) indicated higher importance in the rainy season due to the precipitation that favored an increase in the amount of carbon. This behavior was verified by the Principal Components Analysis (50.1%), which showed that in the less rainy season goods are more important when compared to the ecosystem services.

ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to evaluate the technical feasibility of producing particleboard from oversize resin fibers in a reduced proportion of adhesive. It was used as raw material, oversize resin fibers discarded from the MDF (Medium Density Fiberboard) production process, flake particles of Pinus spp. derived from an MDP (Medium Density Particleboard) company’s chipper and adhesive formed by the urea-formaldehyde resin and paraffin emulsion. The experiment consisted of five treatments, mixing particles and fibers in different proportions (100: 0%; 75: 25%; 50: 50%; 25: 75%; 0: 100%). Three panels were produced per treatment, with nominal density of 650 kg.m-3, 8% resin and pressing cycle of 160ºC, 40 kgf.cm-2 for 8 minutes. The properties of the panels were evaluated by the procedures described in ASTM D-1047 (1993), DIN 53362 (1982) and ABNT / NBR 14810 (2013). The results showed that oversize resin fibers have potential for use in the sector, especially in quantities above 75%, a fact that was evidenced by the values found for dimensional stability and strength/stiffness. For internal adhesion, the increase in the number of fibers above 25% was not significant.

RESUMO: Introdução: A aparente estabilidade da mortalidade por aids no país na última década encobre uma gama de cenários, com dois terços dos estados apresentando taxa padronizada de mortalidade por aids (TPMA) significativamente acima da média nacional e/ou em tendência ascendente. No Rio de Janeiro, a TPMA vem mantendo-se alta e estável ao longo dos anos; atualmente o estado ocupa a segunda posição no ranking nacional desse indicador. Objetivo: Examinar tendências temporais em causas de óbito na busca de padrões diferenciais que contribuam para o entendimento da mortalidade por aids no estado. Metodologia: Foram analisadas causas de óbito em qualquer campo das declarações de óbito constantes do Sistema de Informação sobre Mortalidade (SIM) entre 1999 e 2015 para indivíduos ≥ 15 anos. Doenças cardiovasculares, malignidades não relacionadas à aids, causas externas, diabetes melito e tuberculose foram estabelecidas pela menção ou não de seus códigos conforme a Classificação Estatística Internacional de Doenças e Problemas Relacionados com a Saúde (CID-10) nas declarações de óbito. Modelos lineares generalizados com efeitos mistos foram usados para descrever odds ratios relativas a 1999 e variações anuais médias ajustadas. Resultados: Verificaram-se o aumento proporcional em causas externas e doenças geniturinárias e, sobretudo, o persistente papel desempenhado pela tuberculose, impactando diferencialmente a mortalidade por aids no estado, em um cenário de alta mortalidade por doenças infecciosas. Conclusão: Os achados reforçam a manutenção da tuberculose na mortalidade de pessoas vivendo com HIV/aids (PVHA) no Rio de Janeiro e chamam a atenção para a necessidade de avaliar determinantes individuais atuando na redução da sobrevida desses pacientes, de forma a aprimorar o programa de controle do HIV/aids no estado.

Abstract The use of analytical methodologies based on DNA (e.g. PCR-RFLP) to determine the authenticity of different types of meat products after the initial labeling is pivotal to avoid fraudulent practices due to the increased rates of meat consumption. Our PCR-RFLP of mitochondrial 12S rRNA gene using restriction enzymes (AluI and ApoI) aimed to confirm the accuracy of the meat species labeling, based on fresh and processed meat collected in central markets along the main cities in the Amazonas Region (Bagua, Bagua Grande, Chachapoyas, Luya, Pedro Ruiz, Rodriguez de Mendoza). Our analyses qualitatively identified and differentiated three commercial species of fresh meat (bovine, porcine, ovine) and also found the substitution of goat by sheep meat. Regarding processed meat, its composition was uncertain and further analyses should be addressed to determine the meat origin. Monitoring using DNA-based analytical methods of meat trade is suggested to determine fraudulent practices, such as species substitution in markets along regions of Peru.

Published: March 2020

Abstract The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of Reiki (as well as the effectiveness of Physical Activities) on relatively healthy individuals (not hospital patients), members of a sample of 338 volunteers, and to confirm whether practicing Reiki contributes to psycho-emotional stabilization, having a beneficial impact on mood and emotional wellbeing. For the first time, a positive confirmation of Reiki was carried out in Ukraine. The respondents were divided into two main groups: non-Reikists (individuals who did not practice Reiki) and Reikists (individuals who practiced or taught Reiki). It was found that, in comparison with non-Reikists, the results obtained by Reikists were twice as good, showing higher levels of emotional comfort, less anxiety/dissatisfaction, and more optimism, energy and self-confidence. At that, senior pupils and university students of psychology performed worse. This study confirms that the practice of Reiki is a quickly healing, stimulating, long-term, and cost-effective technique, positively influencing to positive well-being, mood and psychosomatic responses.

Published: March 2020

Resumo Analisar a adoção da estratégia de campanha negativa não oficial no Twitter na disputa pela Prefeitura do Rio de Janeiro em 2016 é o objetivo deste artigo. Esse fenômeno, caracterizado pela promoção de ataques em períodos eleitorais por grupos independentes das coligações oficiais, é pouco estudado na literatura brasileira. A fim de ajudar a preencher essa lacuna, analisam-se as mensagens postadas no microblog durante o segundo turno do aludido pleito por eleitores e redes de apoio e ataque aos principais candidatos Marcelo Crivella (PRB) e Marcelo Freixo (PSOL). A metodologia usa técnicas de análise de conteúdo, análise de redes sociais e análise estatística de um corpusinicial de 530 mil tweetscoletados por meio da Twitter Search API, resultando em uma amostra final de 11.407 postagens classificadas como negativas. Entre as conclusões é possível afirmar que os principais agentes de campanha negativa não oficial no Twitter apresentam funções e perfis distintos, podendo ser divididos entre os influenciadores e os disseminadores de publicações de ataque.
