Notas Sobre a Encenação de Frank V por Fernando Peixoto (Teatro São Pedro, 1973)
Authors: Nussenzweig Hotimsky Nina
Published: May 2022

Este artigo analisa o espetáculo Frank V, encenado por Fernando Peixoto em 1973 em São Paulo, a partir de pesquisa documental, exame da fortuna crítica e entrevistas com artistas envolvidos. A dramaturgia do suíço Friedrich Dürrenmatt foi escolhida por uma comissão de decisão de repertório do Teatro São Pedro, por permitir analogias com a situação econômica brasileira e o suposto “milagre econômico” encampado pelo Regime Civil-Militar. Procura-se analisar os caminhos pelos quais a encenação colocou problemas nacionais em evidência, dialogando com as propostas do teatro épico de Bertolt Brecht. Frank V foi um marco de amadurecimento artístico para Peixoto e para o grupo do São Pedro, ao mesmo tempo em que deu a ver os impasses vividos pelo teatro politizado brasileiro do início dos anos 1970 – crise de público, crise financeira, a pressão da censura, dúvidas acerca do lugar social da arte.

High pressure is an environmental characteristic of the deep sea that may exert critical effects on the physiology and mental abilities of divers. In this study we evaluated the performance efficacy and mental ability of four divers during a 300-meter helium-oxygen saturation dive at sea. Spatial memory, 2D/3D mental rotation functioning, grip strength, and hand-eye coordination ability were examined for four divers during the pre-dive, compression, decompression, and post-dive phases. The results showed that both the reaction time and the correct responses for the mental rotation and hand-eye coordination were slightly fluctuated. In addition, there was a significant decline in the grip strength of the left hand. It is concluded that the performance efficacy and mental ability of divers were virtually unaffected during 300-meter helium-oxygen saturation diving at sea.

Purpose: To identify the most prevalent health conditions among divers during their last year of Navy service. Methods: For this retrospective descriptive study we used data from the Dive Jump Reporting System to identify 4,623 active-duty divers who separated between 2008 and 2018. Medical records, dive histories, and personnel files were merged, linked and analyzed at the individual level. Results: On average, 420 divers separated each year. Among the separating divers, 99% were male, 26% were aged 25 to 29 years old with a mean age of 35 (SD = 9, range 18 to 65). The major medical categories with the highest numbers of divers affected were: musculoskeletal system diseases (prevalence rate (PR) = 515.2 per 1,000 divers/year); nervous system (PR = 411.9); injury and poisonings (PR = 249.8); and mental disorders (PR = 237.3). Of the 50 specific conditions that affected the most divers the top four were joint disorders (PR = 34.5), disorders of refraction and accommodation (PR = 30.1), back disorders (PR = 26.8) and organic sleep disorders (PR = 21.6). Compared to divers with fewer than 29 dives, divers with 49-plus dives were about twice as likely to have diagnoses related to symptoms involving head and neck. Conclusions: The study found high rates of conditions such as musculoskeletal disorders, joint and back disorders, and some mental health related disorders. Special warfare divers have high rates of hearing loss, and other disorders of ear. The results show the need and to develop and implement group-specific mitigation programs.

Sepsis is a life-threatening condition for which new therapies are needed. The objective of this literature review was to compile evidence related to the use of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO2) therapy in sepsis. The goal of this analysis was to determine whether human trials are indicated. The study was designed as a narrative review of literature for studies of HBO2 therapy in sepsis. Literature was reviewed to understand potentially beneficial and harmful clinical and physiological effects of HBO2 therapy in animals with sepsis. HBO2 has several physiologic mechanisms which may be beneficial in sepsis, including restoration of mitochondrial function, improved microvascular function and organ perfusion, decreased capillary leak, improved cytokine profile, direct antimicrobial effects, and enhanced antibiotic function. The studies reviewed suggest that HBO2 therapy may be most effective if administered early and in high doses. Animal trials also show that HBO2 may provide protection to the gut mucosa by preventing bacterial translocation in sepsis. HBO2 has a potential to reduce organ failure through novel sepsis mechanisms not used in other therapies. Further human studies should be performed to better elucidate the role of HBO2 in improving sepsis clinical outcomes.
Two cases of Bacillus Calmette-Guérin cystitis treated with hyperbaric oxygen
Authors:   UCLA Hyperbaric Medicine, Los Angeles, California U.S., Markovitz Gerald H
Published: May 2022

Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO2) therapy is a UHMS-approved treatment for radiation cystitis and has been used for other causes of cystitis such as cyclophosphamide-induced hemorrhagic cystitis and interstitial cystitis, among others. Immunotherapy with Bacillus Calmette-Gu.rin (BCG) is the most effective treatment of non-muscle invasive bladder cancer. BCG acts as a non-specific stimulant of the reticuloendothelial system, causing a local inflammatory response. BCG attaches to bladder tumor cells as well as urothelial cells which then stimulates an immune response involving a multitude of cytokines and local migration of polymorphonuclear cells that leads to death of the cancer cells. The typical protocol of a single six-week course has been shown to provide long-term protection from tumor recurrence and to reduce disease progression. Irritative bladder side effects are common, but serious side effects are uncommon. Two cases of severe BCG-cystitis treated with HBO2 are presented. Two male patients with bladder cancer were treated with intravesicular BCG. Each developed complications of pain, spasms, urinary frequency and nocturia; one developed gross hematuria. Cystoscopy showed friable mucosa. They failed standard medical therapy and were referred for HBO2. They were treated in a multiplace chamber at 2.2-2.4 ATA. One patient received 60 and the other 40 treatments. Both experienced substantial reduction in their symptoms. BCG cystitis may be considered for HBO2 if other standard therapy has failed.
The moderating effect of audit committee chairman’s multiple directorships on the relationship between audit committee characteristics and firm performance
Authors: Al-Matari Yahya Ali
Published: May 2022

The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of corporate governance characteristics, particularly the characteristics of audit committees (ACs), on the performance of finance companies. Specifically, it sought to determine if the multiple directorships of the audit committee chairperson (ACC) moderate the relationship between the AC characteristics (i.e., independence, size, meeting frequency, and expertise) and the performance of finance companies. Multiple directorships have become an increasing issue in a number of countries around the world (Saleh, Shurafa, Shukeri, Nour, & Maigosh, 2020). In Malaysia, based on the mandatory listing requirements for the Bursa Malaysia, for example, directors can have up to 25 directorships, 15 of which can be in non-public corporations and the remaining 10 in public organizations. The study was conducted on 140 observations obtained from 28 financial companies listed on Bursa Malaysia over the period 2015–2019. The Pearson correlation coefficient and multiple linear regressions were employed. The study findings show that the corporate governance characteristics, specifically the AC characteristics (i.e., independence, size, meeting frequency, and expertise), have a substantial influence on finance company performance but the fact that the ACC has multiple directorships has no significant moderating impact on corporate performance’s associations with AC expertise and independence. On the other hand, the study results show that the fact that the ACC has multiple directorships has a strong moderating impact on the corporate performance’s associations with AC meeting frequency and size.
Affective Atmosphere: A Non-Representational Method of Devising Film Performance and Fiction
Authors: Pavel Prokopic
Published: May 2022

Affective atmosphere is a new method of directing film performance and producing experimental fiction in the tradition of art cinema, which emerged from a wider practice research project entitled Affective Cinema, funded by the UK Arts and Humanities Research Council. As an approach to filmmaking, affective atmosphere prioritises the becoming of an event over a narrative/production plan, and uses experimental production strategies to maximise the potential of spontaneous directorial decisions and the unpredictable flow of reality for generating alternative narrative/dramatic film structures. The method is rooted in practitioner know-how stimulated by reflection, but also informed by a synthesis of the key concepts of Deleuze and Guattari, and theoretical writings on atmosphere (Böhme, Griffero) and film performance (Benjamin, Del Río). In this way, the project meaningfully applies philosophical concerns to filmmaking, expanding, in the process, on theoretical understanding, while embedding this knowledge tacitly in artistic practice. Furthermore, the research leads to the development of a set of applicable film production methods, unified by a clear rationale and a creative purpose linked to demonstrable outcomes.
Interspecific introgression and widespread intraspecific gene flow in a clade of tropical and subtropical seabirds

Published: May 2022

The mechanisms that restrict gene flow between populations and
facilitate population differentiation and speciation vary across the
tree of life. In systems where physical barriers to gene flow are
dynamic over time and space, such as many marine species, introgression
may be a major factor in the speciation process. In sympatric species of
seabirds with no land barriers between them, hybridization has been
frequently observed but few studies have investigated patterns of
introgression. We used whole-genome sequence data to test for
interspecific introgression between five pairs of tropical and
subtropical seabirds and to test for gene flow within species across
major land masses and ocean basins. We found evidence for introgression
between blue-footed (Sula nebouxii) and Peruvian boobies (S. variegata);
masked (S. dactylatra) and Nazca boobies (S. granti); and blue-footed
and Nazca boobies. We found no evidence of introgression between
blue-footed and brown boobies (S. leucogaster) and masked and brown
boobies despite observed hybridization between these species. We also
found evidence for gene flow across several major land masses in three
pantropical species: red-footed (S. sula), brown, and masked boobies.
Finally, we report evidence for ancient introgression between brown
boobies and the ancestor of blue-footed, Peruvian, masked, and Nazca
boobies. Our work indicates (1) that interspecific introgression has
shaped contemporary booby diversity in the eastern Pacific, and (2) that
contemporary physical barriers to gene flow between booby colonies are
not impenetrable. Our findings contribute novel insights to the growing
body of evidence that suggests introgression is a widespread
evolutionary process.

Published: May 2022

Uganda lies within the drier end of the natural distribution range of
Coffeacanephora and contains unexplored genetic material
that could be drought-adapted and useful for developing
climate-resilient varieties. Using experimental treatments, (i) ample
and (ii) restricted-water, response of 148 genotypes were studied
comprising wild, feral and cultivated C. canephora. Biomass allocation,
standing leaf area and leaf area growth data were collected. Linear
mixed effect models and PCA were used to analyse effect of drought on
genotypes from different: (i) cultivation status, (ii) genetic groups
and (iii) locations. We assessed the relationship between drought
tolerance for relative growth rate in leaf area (RGRA), total number of
leaves (TNL), total leaf area (TL) and total leaf dry weight (TLDW) of
genotypes at final harvest. Restricted-water reduced RGRA across genetic
groups (3.2 – 32.5%) and locations (7.1 – 36.7%) but not cultivation
status. For TNL, TL and TLDW, genotypes that performed well in
ample-water performed worse under restricted-water, indicating
growth-tolerance trade-off. Drought tolerance in RGRA and TNL were
negatively correlated with wetness index suggesting some degree of
adaptation to local climate. Findings indicate a growth-tolerance
trade-off within this tropical tree species and drought tolerance of
Uganda’s C.canephora is somewhat associated with local
climate.

Published: May 2022

The fall armyworm (FAW) Spodoptera frugiperda has invaded Jiangxi
Province, Southeast China for the past three years. Although the FAW
displays a very wide host range, one of its main host plants in Jiangxi
Province is still field corn. This study systematically investigated the
effects of food plants (corn, peanut, soybean and sugarcane) on
life-history traits of FAW and tested the leaf contents of the total
flavonoids, reducing sugars, sucrose and C/N ratio. We found that the
FAW fed on corn leaves showed significantly shorter larval and pupal
development times, larger body weight, higher growth rate, lower weight
loss, smaller SSD, shorter preoviposition period and higher fecundity
than those fed on peanut, soybean and sugarcane leaves. The pupal
development stage was significantly longer in males than females,
showing a protogyny phenomenon. Food plants changed the relationships
between larval development time and pupal weight and between fecundity
and longevity. The corn leaves showed significantly higher contents of
reducing sugars and sucrose, lower content of the total flavonoids, and
a moderate C/N ratio, suggesting that the corn leaf tissues are more
nutritive. These findings may help us to understand why the FAW mainly
infests corn plants and may be critical for the development of
strategies to predict infestation levels.

Published: May 2022

Rational structural design and engineering of MOF membranes is promising
for energy-efficient separation. Preferred orientation manipulation
delegates an effective approach to improve their separation performance,
while room-temperature (RT) synthetic protocol is beneficial to foster
their industrial batch production. Nevertheless, it remains challenging
to fabricate highly oriented MOF membranes at RT; simultaneously, the
density of defective sites in the framework, which is assumed to exert
significant influence on the separation performance relying on high
affinity-interactions between guest molecules and
coordinatively-unsaturated open metal sites, should be deliberately
tailored. In this study, we achieve RT synthesis of highly
(111)-oriented UiO-66 membrane exhibiting high defect density in the
framework through employing
Zr6O(OH)(OAc)
clusters as zirconium source. Prepared membrane manifests an ideal
CO/N selectivity of 46.2, which
represents the highest value among pure MOF membranes tested in
comparable operating conditions. This protocol is expected be expanded
for facile and mild preparation of state-of-the-art MOF membranes.
La comunicación como estrategia de diferenciación competitiva
Authors: Zevallos Oscco Yosselin , Collado Vargas Juan Alberto , Tito Huamani Pedro Leonardo
Published: May 2022

Problematic: Competitiveness in the market follows a growing trend due to global phenomena that have implications for the organizational scenario. In this context, organizational communication comes into play as a tool for adapting to these changes. Although there are important studies on the subject, the favorable impact of organizational communication is still not fully recognized in many countries. In that way, it’s necessary to continue to deepen and delimit the field of study. Objectives: Analyse the importance of both internal and external communication to identify strategies that can be used as a competitive differentiator for the company. Materials and methods: This is exploratory research with a qualitative approach through a structured and rigorous review of high-impact articles, academic repositories, among others. Results: The results show that there is little research on the subject carried out in our region, mainly from European and Asian countries; furthermore, most of the scientific articles taken as primary sources are of the Q1 and Q2 category. On the other hand, the number of articles on the subject has increased after COVID-19 confinement. Discussion: It became evident that communication is indeed a strategic management tool that influences brand positioning through competitive differentiation, thus contributing to the co-creation of values in all contexts and with the different stakeholders. Conclusions: Communication in its various dimensions is a priority for optimal organizational development and, due to the pandemic, is taking on the challenge and responsibility to redefine itself. Contribution/originality: It is hoped to continue contributing to the field of study and to generate proposals aimed at improving organizational communication in any type and size of the company.

Published: May 2022

The article presents the results of a study of the phenomenon of competition in scientific work and a conceptual consideration of this phenomenon as a distinct institution showing all elements of such a distinction: the designation of boundaries and forms of scientific competition. The work provides substantiation for the need to differentiate between the competitiveness of scientific research and that of a researcher and, at the same time, for the need to examine these definitions comprehensively from the standpoint of their dialectical unity. The results of the research prove that the presence of competition in the academic environment is a positive phenomenon as it requires ensuring high competitiveness, i.e., high quality of the scientific works of various subjects – researchers both in a single subject area and in interdisciplinary directions.

Published: May 2022

Patriotic practices in the youth environment of the South of Russia are characterized by considerable diversity, which can be studied using various indicative scales aligned here with the criteria of the form of organization and content. Patriotic practices among the youth of Russian regions have not yet been researched from such perspective. The methodological basis of the study is formed by the activity approach. The dominance of state patriotism in the student environment of the South of Russia gives rise to several risks associated, on the one hand, with the threat of the development of negative forms and types of patriotism (imitative, declarative, “blind”), and, on the other hand, the lack of patriotic subjectivity as a necessary condition for the implementation of the civic type of patriotism demanded by youth.

Authors: Prishchepa Alexander Alexandrovich , Burovkina Ludmila Alexandrovna
Published: May 2022

An innovative approach to designing educational programs under the conditions of the diversity of forms of education is vital since it calls for the variability of approaches to delivering educational material, as well as for consideration of the psychophysiological characteristics of students, which change amid the pandemic, and, accordingly, consideration of restrictions on movement in education, the reconsideration of values, and many other aspects of the current situation. This problem is very acute in professional environment because it requires a prompt and correct change in the educational and methodological material. A new approach to teaching is necessary not only in the sense of changing learning assignments to enable distance learning but also with respect to the semantic content structure of the methodical material. The characteristic features of teaching school students in the present conditions call for the introduction of intensive courses in additional education with consideration of pre-vocational training.

Cluster Frontline Demonstrations using IPM technologies were conducted on farmer fields’ during two consecutive years of both kharif (June-November 2017 and 2018) by Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Kampasagar, Telangana State, India. The results revealed that, 16.9% increased cotton yield was observed in demonstration plot (2234.0 kg ha-1) against farmers practice (1910.5 kg ha-1). The average gross returns, net returns, and benefit-cost ratios were higher in the demonstration plot as compared to the farmers’ practice. The average cost reduction was (Rs. 41402.0 ha-1) in the demonstration plot when compared to farmers’ practice (Rs. 46190.0 ha-1). Incidence of sucking pests and pink bollworm was low in demonstrations plots and adoption of IPM practices i.e. stem application in cotton at 30 and 45 days after sowing with Monocrotophos and water (1:4) ratio and 60 days after sowing with Imidacloprid and water (1:20) ratio minimize the sucking pests. Further erection of pheromone traps @ 10 ha-1 at 45 DAS to monitor pink bollworm population and spraying of need-based plant protection chemicals i.e. Azadirachtin 0.15% EC @ 2.5 l ha-1 and Thiodicarb 75% WP @ 1.5 g l-1 at early stages and Emamectin benzoate 5% SG @ 0.5 g l-1 at later stages effectively controlled pink bollworm. The average extension gap, technology gap, and technology index were 323.25 kg ha-1, 266.25 kg ha-1 and 10.65%, respectively. Hence, adoption of IPM technologies play a major role for controlling the pest complex and need arises to adopt and popularize this technology in the cotton farming to mitigate the wider extension gap between improved and farmers’ practices.

From the evaluation of data on growth, floriculture and quality standards, it was clear that var. Jeromine/M9 followed by Red Velox/M9 has recorded better horticultural performance than other varieties studied. Among different varieties Red Velox/M9 recorded maximum shoot extension growth (22.65 cm), trunk girth (47.27 mm) and tree height (340.02 cm), tree spread (175.52 E-W and 181.68 cm N-S), number of fruit set tree-1 (41.85), fruit Breadth (78.90  mm), fruit weight (207.39 g fruit-1), TSS (10.11 °Brix), whereas, maximum fruit set (25.48%), fruit length (71.74 mm), yield (3.59 kg tree-1) and productivity (14.35 MT Hac-1) was recorded in cultivar Jeromine/M9. However, the maximum number of fruits tree-1 was observed in the variety Red Cap Vatod/MM 106. Variety, Red Velox /M9 was found to be superior for growth, flowering, yield and quality characteristics with good market potential under Kinnaur conditions.

Evaluation of tomato genotypes for the response to water stress using digital features assists in high-throughput phenotyping. A study was conducted on imaging tomato genotypes maintained at field capacity and water deficit stress at flowering stage during 2016 at the plant phenomics facility, ICAR-Indian Institute of Horticultural Research, Bengaluru, Karnataka, India. Image derived digital features were obtained through image analysis. Physiological parameters, relative water content, water potential and quantum efficiency of PSII were measured at field capacity and water deficit stress conditions. Study established the relationship between physiological functionality and digital features of tomato plants. Transition of plants from field capacity to water stress caused reduction in digital biomass and canopy top area (CTA) among nine tomato genotypes. Deficit moisture stress resulted in lower relative water content, water potential and quantum efficiency of PSII. We observed an apparent relationship between physiological functionality and digital features, convexhull area and compactness. Two genotypes, IIHR 2843 and IIHR 2195 displayed contrasting response under 100% and 50% FC moisture regimes. At 50% FC, the genotypes IIHR 2843 and IIHR 2195 showed lower and higher water use efficiency, respectively. Genotype IIHR 2195 not only continued to sustain biomass production under deficit moisture stress but showed lower water consumption and higher water use efficiency compared to IIHR 2843. Apparent relationship established between physiological functionality and the digital features in this study clearly indicated that the digital features could be employed to capture the response of tomato genotypes to water deficit stress.
Skeletal Deformities in Invaded Population of Amazon Sailfin Catfish Pterygoplichthys pardalis (Castelnau, 1855) in the East Kolkata Wetland, India

The incidence of severe vertebral deformity was reported in the specimens of the Amazon sailfin catfish Pterygoplichthys pardalis (Castelnau, 1855) for the first time in India. Fish samples were collected on bimonthly basis during June 2019 to December 2020, from wastewater-fed large aquaculture impoundments (locally called ‘bheries’) of north-western part of the East Kolkata Wetlands, India. Sampling were performed using seine nets of mesh size 15 mm–30 mm and covering more or less 5,000 sq m area each time. Deformities were found in 18 specimens of Pterygoplichthys pardalis. Two types of spinal deformities, scoliosis and kyphosis, were determined visually and reconfirmed by radiography using medical X-ray system. The total length and body weights of individual fish (normal and deformed) were measured and the length-weight relationships parameters were calculated and compared. A significant difference was observed between b values of deformed (b ~1.679) and normal specimens (b>2.5) of Pterygoplichthys pardalis. Various environmental and genetic factors could contribute to the development of this deformity in the Pterygoplichthys pardalis, but based on the available data, it is impossible to confidently identify the key factor(s). However, as the fishes were from a wastewater-fed fisheries system, which receive about 600 million litres of industrial and municipal discharge of the city every day, metal and other organic contaminants could be a reason of this impairment in Pterygoplichthys pardalis.

New Approaches to the Management of Organezations in Accordance with the “Vuca - World” Philosophy
Authors: MEZHEVOV Alexander , NIKOLAEV Viktor , MELESHKIN Mikhail
Published: May 2022

The article examines the influence of the “VUCA world” philosophy on the management of a modern organization. The growth of instability and uncertainty in all spheres of life requires specialists of organizations to possess a wide range of knowledge and adequate response to situations when it is impossible to predict the negative development of certain events. The management of organizations needs to abandon mental illusions and established structures in management, maintain their physical and psychological state, work constantly checking with the organisation’s strategy, and support the team in the correctness of the chosen goals. In the “VUCA world” philosophy, digital technologies have predetermined the emergence of new “flat structures” for solving innovative tasks, assessing and managing counteraction to risks and threats. Contradictions associated with the release of a new product to the market have intensified because, in addition to previously known problems (investment, time and staff resistance), an organization may lose market share of products already produced.
“Soft Power” of Academic Mobility as a Component of the Chinese Foresight Project of “The Great Unity” Society
Authors: ZAKHAROV Mikhail , STAROVOYTOVA Irina , SHISHKOVA Anastasia
Published: May 2022

The article considers the phenomenon of cross-border academic mobility in the context of Chinese predictive practice. By applying historical-philosophical, comparative and hermeneutic methods, the authors analyze three problem areas: the social ideal, forecasting the future, and national education in China – and make the following conclusions. The “prior knowledge” that came from the culture of Imperial China can be used as an element of modern prognostics, and the traditional project of the “Great Unity” society (the “Datong” society in the Confucian concept of the social ideal) is transformed into a national foresight project. At the same time, the idea of unified humankind is not exclusively Chinese but has deep historical roots and universal nature. Being cautious about the supranational extrapolation of this idea, modern China, nevertheless, is expanding international cooperation and strengthening international contacts, using cross-border academic mobility as one of the tools of “soft power”.
