Authors: TRID SABAH , EL GHMARI Omar , LAREJ Issmail
Published: December 2021

La théorie de l’efficience des marchés financiers (EMH) est l’un des paradigmes fondamentaux en finance. En dépit de son apport considérable à la théorie économique et financière, elle se trouve depuis quelques années vivement contestées. Ses détracteurs mettent en avant l’incapacité de celle-ci à apporter des réponses pertinentes quant à certaines anomalies décelées sur les marchés financiers, notamment, le manque d’efficience, les effets calendriers, la sûr/sous-évaluation et la volatilité excessive ,  c’est pour cette raison que la finance comportementale s’est considérablement développée au cours des trente dernières années, amenant un nouveau regarde et  une nouvelle réflexion  sur l’analyse économique en général et la compréhension des  marchés financiers en particulier.

Authors: Celik Aleksandra , Bay Erdal
Published: December 2021

The purpose of this study was to determine teachers’ approaches to Marzano’s effective instructional strategies (MEISs), as defined by Marzano, Pickering and Pollack (2001) in the secondary schools in Turkey and Russia and tell whether they differ or not. In this study survey research – one of the quantitative approaches – was carried out. The participants for the study were 54 teachers of English in Turkey and 40 teachers of English in Russia. “The Effective Instructional Strategies Questionnaire” and an open-ended questionnaire were used to gather data. Data was generated utilizing content analysis and non-parametric Mann-Whitney U test. The results related to the first and second research questions revealed that there were partial differences between Turkish and Russian teachers’ approaches to Marzano’s nine effective instructional strategies and to usage of these strategies. Turkish teachers place less importance than Russian teachers on such strategies as summarizing and note taking, homework and practice, generating and testing hypothesis. As to Russian teachers, they do not espouse strategies in the category of non-linguistic representations as much as Turkish teachers do. The results of the study showed that Turkish and Russian teachers’ approaches and the usage of the strategies differ.

Authors: Oliveira Arthu Línniker Lopes de , Santos Gilciane Bezerra Alves dos , Fônseca Camila Raposo , Siva Igor Thiago Borges de Queiroz e
Published: December 2021

Background: According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, there are approximately 3.28 millions of SARS-CoV-2 infections among children and adolescents as of March 2021. A modulation of the synaptic environment has been described due to astrocytosis caused by SARS-CoV-2 along with a decrease in cognitive stimuli aggravated by social isolation. Objectives: To correlate the slowness of brain connectivity with astrocytosis caused by SARS-CoV-2 in the pediatric population in post-Covid-19. Methods: Literary review carried out at PubMed from January to April 2021, using “Brain infection”, “SARS-CoV-2”, “Children’’, and “Astrocytosis” as descriptors. It was selected 183 articles in english published in the last 5 years, of which only 10 were closer to the research subject. Results: SARS-CoV-2 led by the Spike protein of the virus causes remodeling in glucose metabolism, causing deviation in the consumption of lactate (metabolic substrate of astrocytes), compensatorily way to neuronal malnutrition. To supply their metabolism, astrocytes are taken to a glutamate consumption responsible for synaptic plasticity due to dopamine synthesis (DA). Furthermore, astrocytosis stimulates apoptosis of SH-SY5Y cells, which are linked to dopaminergic expression in synaptic clefts, further accentuating the decline in DA levels. Conclusions: Cortical dysfunctions resulting from neural malnutrition and low cognitive stimulation during social isolation favor an intense neuroplastic paradox in the pediatric population during the critical period.

Authors: Araújo Louisy Carvalho , Sarmento Marina Crispim , Queiroga Nicole Sarmento , Figueiredo Lucas Vinicius Rafael , Aguiar Michelle Salles Barros de
Published: December 2021

Background: The infection caused by SARS-CoV-2 is associated with several neurological manifestations. Among these, acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM), an immune-mediated disease, has a reasonable incidence. In this context, the absence of direct viral infection of the CNS and late presentation of the condition corroborate to the hypothesis of an immune relationship. Objectives: Describe the relation between acute disseminated encephalomyelitis and COVID-19 infection. Design and setting: Literature review, held at the University Center of João Pessoa, located in the city of João Pessoa, Paraíba, Brazil. Methods: Through the PubMed database, using descriptors as follows: “acute disseminated encephalomyelitis” AND “COVID-19”, associated with time filter of the years 2020-2021. Results: The pathogenesis of ADEM in COVID-19 occurs through several mechanisms. One is a cross reaction between immune cells and nerve cells, which causes damage by activating the immune response and releasing protease enzymes. Another perspective is that the state of hyperinflammation activates like glial cells. In addition, an infection can trigger the production of autoantibodies against glial components, generating demyelinating lesions. In a series of cases that included 43 patients, nine had manifestations of ADEM, with a variety of clinical and radiological forms. Of these nine, on neuroimaging, all had multifocal, supratentorial white matter, four had hemorrhagic changes and two had myelitis. Conclusions: The coexistence between ADEM and COVID-19, although well established in some cases, still shows the need for studies that better clarify the relation between viral infection and brain lesions present in these clinical conditions.

Introduction: The axis is the second cervical vertebra and differs from the others by presenting particular anatomical landmarks. Morphological variations of the axis in different populations have clinical importance, since the lack of anatomical reference may compromise surgical procedures in this region. Objective: To analyze the morphometry of axis vertebra in northeastern Brazil. Methodology: Data collection was performed at the Federal University of Paraiba. Fifty-eight axis were used. Damaged or infantile vertebrae were excluded.Morphometric analysis was performed using a digital caliper and the data were statistically analyzed. Results were considered significant when p<0.05. Results: The width of the pars interarticulares was 9.25±1.68mm and the height was 7.37±1.87mm. The height of the dens of the axis in an anterior view was 16.29±1.82mm and the width was 9.41±0.86mm. The width of the articular face of the dens was 8.27±0.88mm. The anteroposterior length of the vertebral body was 15.29±2.02mm, the width was 16.79±1.68mm, and the height in anterior view was 19.96±2.48mm. The mean height of the vertebral lamina was 10.89±1.64mm and the anteroposterior length was 20.33±2.13mm. Significant difference was observed between right and left sides of anteroposterior length (p=0.012). Conclusion: Axis morphometry was shown for the first time in a specific population from northeastern Brazil. Morphological differences were observed in the present study and differ from others in the literature. These data may serve as guidance for professionals who will perform any procedures in this region, highlighting the importance of anatomical knowledge and its variations.
Brain-gut-microbiota axis in motor disorders
Authors: Andrade Dariana Rodrigues , Lima Letícia Mendes de , Rosa Luis Henrique Goes Hamati , Cardoso Edvaldo
Published: December 2021

Introduction: There seems to be a strong relationship and influence on the brain-gut- microbiota axis in the control and prevention of several diseases, including degenerative diseases that are related to motor disorders. Objectives: To analyze the relationship between movement disorders and the intestinal microbiota. Methods: Integrative review performed at PUBMED, using the descriptors Movement disorder and intestinal microbiota, in the last five years and having as inclusion criteria complete texts in English. Results: The literature suggests that the intestinal microbiota regulates the activation of microglia through the production of bacteria metabolites. Gut dysbiosis is believed to generate metabolic disorders with decreased production of neuroprotective factors, increased pro-inflammatory cytokines, production of neurotoxins, and a misdirected immune response. Metabolites produced by an altered microbiota seem to enter the circulation and affect neurological function. Braak’s hypothesis postulates that aberrant accumulation of α-synuclein (αSyn), a central component of the pathophysiology of Parkinson’s disease (PD), begins in the intestine and propagates through the vagus nerve to the brain, given that αSyn inclusions previously arise in the enteric nervous system and glossopharyngeal and vagus nerves, and vagotomized individuals have reduced risk of PD. Conclusion: The identification of the microbiota or its altered metabolites may serve as biomarkers, or even drug targets for the treatment of diseases of the central nervous system. The microbiota can be modulated through antibiotic therapy, fecal microbiota transplantation, prebiotic supplementation, dietary interventions and many other potential methods.

There are no established protocols regarding the safety and effectiveness of respiratory techniques for the management of these complications after SCI. Objectives: To propose a physical therapy intervention protocol using the OnyxR device for the management and prevention of respiratory complications in the chronic phase in individuals with SCI. Design and setting: The study will be held at Acreditando (Neuromotor Center). Methods: clinical trial (single-arm) for functional training of cough using the OnyxR device to perform insufflation and exsufflation assisted on pressure manner, for 12 weeks, 1x / week, associated with the usual rehabilitation; following variables such as peak cough flow (PCF), spirometry, manovacuometry and functional SCI scales. Results: The decrease in muscle strength in SCI along with postural changes contributes to ventilatory restriction; similar to the alterations seen in neuromuscular diseases, in which the auxiliary cough equipment is already well studied. Conclusions: This protocol intends to verify the safety and effectiveness of the use of the OnyxR equipment in individuals with SCI; training may lead to increased tidal volume, forced vital capacity and PCF, preventing future respiratory complications.

Authors: Figueiredo Camila Angelo Vidal de , Castro Kaline dos Santos Kishishita , Leite Sílvia Raimunda Costa
Published: December 2021

Background: Huntington’s Disease (HD) is a hereditary neurodegenerative genetic disease with motor, cognitive and behavioral repercussions that interferes in several areas of the patients’ lives. Therefore, to increase the quality of life for patients the therapeutic management of symptoms is necessary. Objective: to elucidate the main forms of treatment that reduces motor disorders present in HD. Methods: an integrative literature review was conducted using scientific articles published between 2016-2020 about this topic found in Pubmed and Google Scholar databases. Results: the chorea treatment in HD can be done using Tetrabenazine, deutetrabenazine or antipsychotics. During a study by the Huntington Study Group (HSG), tetrabenazine proved its efficacy, however, due to several adverse effects, its use was reduced. Thus, deutetrabenazine was created, which consists in a tetrabenazine deuterated version, with a longer half- life and less adverse effects. Studies by the HSG found that besides reducing chorea, it also improves motor function in general in patients. Antipsychotics are used when the patient has behavioral and psychiatric symptoms that prevent him from using the other drugs. The dystonia treatment involves physiotherapy and botulinum toxin injections, which are also used in the bruxism therapy, along with mouth protectors. Abnormal gait and balance problems can be reduced with psychomotor rehabilitation, physiotherapy, and using a walker. Conclusion: the control of HD motor symptoms is an important way to increase patients’ quality of life. Therefore, more studies are necessary to expand the effective therapeutic options.

Authors: KAYA Elif
Published: December 2021

Toplumsal eşitsizlik, insanlık tarihi kadar eski bir konu olmakla birlikte toplumsal yapının temel özelliği olarak bütün toplumlarda görülmektedir. Toplumsal eşitsizlik olgusu, kaynaklar, sahiplik ve otorite başta olmak üzere statü ve rolleri belirleyen bir duruma işaret etmektedir. Eşitsizliğin önemli parçalarından biri de eğitim ve okuryazarlıktır. Sosyal tabakalaşmanın önemli ölçütlerinden olan okuryazarlık, bireyin hangi toplumsal grup ve sınıfın içerisinde yer alacağını belirleyen unsurlardandır.

Dijitalleşme, bilginin dijital formata yani ses, görüntü, simge ve sembollerin sayısala dönüştürülmesidir. Dijitalleşme bununla birlikte kendi okuryazarlık dönüşümünü de meydana getirmektedir. Dijital okuryazarlık olarak adlandırılan yeni okuryazarlık türü, etkileşim kaynaklı olarak bireyin dijital dünyada var olmasını sağlamaktadır. Dijitalleşme, mevcut yapıların üzerine inşa edildiği için toplumsal alanda birçok olumsuz olguyu da beraberinde taşımıştır. Bu olgulardan biri de eşitsizliğin dijital alanda devam etmesidir. Dijital bölünme, bilgi ve iletişim teknolojilerine erişim, kullanım ve bunları analiz etme noktasında yaşanan eşitsizlikler olarak tanımlanır. Eşitsizliğin kökeninde demografik özelliklerin yanı sıra sosyo- ekonomik ve kültürel değişkenler yer almaktadır.

Toplumsal eşitsizlik ve dijital okuryazarlık ilişkisini ortaya koyan bu çalışmada, dijital okuryazarlık olgusu sosyo- ekonomik değişkenler göz önünde bulundurularak dijital yerli olarak adlandırılan sekiz yüz lise öğrencisi üzerinden analiz edilmiştir. Çalışmanın sonucuna göre; sosyo-demografik ve ekonomik özelliklerin teknolojik araç sahipliği ve kullanım amacı açısından farklılaşmalara neden olduğu, katılımcıların teknoloji kullanım amaçları ile dijital okuryazarlık alt boyutları arasında ilişki olduğu bulgulanmıştır. Aynı zamanda öğrencilerin okul türlerinin dijital okuryazarlık alt boyutları ile bağlantılı olduğu ve sosyo-ekonomik yapıların dijital okuryazarlık alt boyutlarında farklılaşmalar oluşturduğu gözlemlenmiştir. Diğer taraftan bireyin yer aldığı tabakanın dijital okuryazarlıkta önemli olduğu sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.
Reinforcement learning control of robot manipulator
Authors: Cotrim Lucas Pereira , José Marcos Menon , Cabral Eduardo Lobo Lustosa
Published: December 2021

Since the establishment of robotics in industrial applications, industrial robot programming involves therepetitive and time-consuming process of manually specifying a fixed trajectory, which results in machineidle time in terms of production and the necessity of completely reprogramming the robot for different tasks.The increasing number of robotics applications in unstructured environments requires not only intelligent butalso reactive controllers, due to the unpredictability of the environment and safety measures respectively. This paper presents a comparative analysis of two classes of Reinforcement Learning algorithms, value iteration (Q-Learning/DQN) and policy iteration (REINFORCE), applied to the discretized task of positioning a robotic manipulator in an obstacle-filled simulated environment, with no previous knowledge of the obstacles’ positions or of the robot arm dynamics. The agent’s performance and algorithm convergence are analyzed under different reward functions and on four increasingly complex test projects: 1-Degree of Freedom (DOF) robot, 2-DOF robot, Kuka KR16 Industrial robot, Kuka KR16 Industrial robot with random setpoint/obstacle placement. The DQN algorithm presented significantly better performance and reduced training time across all test projects and the third reward function generated better agents for both algorithms.

Amenințările hibride acoperă tot spectrul de știri false, război cibernetic/ informațional, acoperind periodic agenda multimedia în toate spațiile cunoscute de către om. Dacă pentru spațiile naturale ale Terrei avem norme și cutume respectate la nivel internațional, navigarea în spațiul digital nu conferă utilizatorului aceeași protecție dată de un cod de legi acceptat la nivel mondial, cu toate că avem un nou set de instrumente cu rol de scut împotriva pericolelor numit securitate cibernetică. Pentru ca această securitate cibernetică să fie acceptată de un număr cât mai mare de actori (ne)statali, avem nevoie norme internaționale, construite de profesioniști cu expertiză și gândire proactivă. Oamenii cu atribuții specifice pentru negocierea unor astfel de norme sunt diplomații, în cazul de față diplomații digitali. Care este rostul lor? Ce legătură este între război hibrid, diplomație digitală și drept umanitar? Sunt întrebări la care încercăm să răspundem prin intermediul acestei cercetări. În structura lucrării am utilizat concepte din normele DIU care se pot adapta operațiilor cibernetice și amenințărilor hibride. În cazul utilizării acțiunilor cibernetice agresive și a capacităților cibernetice, competența legii internaționale actuale este obiectivul articolului pentru apariția dreptului la autoapărare. Apoi, urmărim aspecte ale unor acțiuni militare care implică atacuri cibernetice, proiectate pe spectrul operației cibernetice, urmând ca aceste acțiuni cibernetice să fie examinate aplicând principii stabilite de legile existente.

La lingua nella riflessione di Vittore Pisani
Authors: Gobber Giovanni
Published: December 2021

The paper focusses on Vittore Pisani’s considerations about the nature of language and speech. A renowned scholar in historical linguistics, Pisani made nospecific contribution to theoretical topics. Nevertheless, in a series of passages from some of his papers the creative role of speakers and hearers is emphasized, and the observation is made that the products of their linguistic activity can be the models for new speech acts. For Pisani speech acts within a given social aggregate can be investigated to describe what they have in common at the various levels of analysis, and the results of this investigation can be organized into a “system of isoglosses”, which represent what is called a language. So, language is not an ideal entity with an autonomous existence and is organized regardless of the individual speech acts, but it is the result of a reconstruction that can vary according to the data on which it is based. Such a conception is in line with contemporary sociolinguistic and pragmatic research.
Osservazioni sull’uso di yád in antico indiano
Authors: Vai Massimo
Published: December 2021

This paper considers the placement of the complementizer yád within the sentence and the functional value of yád in Old Indian. It will be noted that thecomplementizer yád, like other subordinating conjunctions in some ancient and modern Indo-European languages, can be preceded by a topicalized or a focalized phrase in its clause. In particular, in R̥gVeda there are many cases where yád is preceded by an element which seems to have moved from inside the sentence and also cases where yád is preceded by the inflected verb. Morover, some cases will be discussed showing the use of yád to introduce clauses governed by verbs of saying and knowing, both in Vedic and in Sanskrit, and a possible syntactic analysis of these structures.

Non-Bacterial Thrombotic Endocarditis: A Manifestation of Lung Cancer
Authors:   Division of Cardiovascular Medicine, UC Davis School of Medicine, University of California, USA, Venugopal Sandhya
Published: December 2021

Non-bacterial thrombotic endocarditis (NBTE) is characterized by vegetations on cardiac valves consisting of fibrin and platelet aggregates that are devoid of inflammation or bacteria. Diagnosis is often challenging and is aided by a high index of suspicion. These factors are reflected by the case of a 53 year old woman with a history of recurrent idiopathic deep vein thrombosis (DVT) prior to presentation at our institution to which she was admitted because of right upper extremity numbness and weakness.

Introduction:

The role of weight-bearing full-length standing radiographs (FLSRs) of the spine in the preoperative workup of adult degenerative disease of the lumbar spine is a subject of increasing research. This investigation aims to determine whether FLSR influences preoperative planning decisions.

Methods:

In this prospective study, eight spine surgeons reviewed two 30-patient case series. The first set (set A) contained a patient history, physical examination data, and preoperative images. The second set (set B) contained all information in set A in addition to preoperative FLSR AP and lateral radiographs. Within 2 weeks of evaluating set A, reviewers assessed set B. Case sets were randomized. After reviewing each set, reviewers gave surgical plans and whether they believed an FLSR was important in planning. Decisions were evaluated by subspecialty, years of practice, and postfellowship years. A McNemar test assessed differences between set viewings. A chi-square test assessed differences of preoperative decision changes between different specialties and levels of experience. A Poisson regression assessed characteristics associated with changing preoperative plans. We analyzed patients by the number of unique reviewer procedures, surgical levels, and associated pathology.

Results:

After viewing an FLSR, 44.7% of reviewers changed procedure. Reviewer opinion of FLSR importance differed between sets (27.1% versus 35.7%, P = 0.047). Among all reviewers, FLSR presentation was associated with aligning the number of proposed procedures in 15 patients. Scoliosis and sacral dysplasia were associated with negative deltas. FLSR viewing reduced the span of operational levels considered. Along the most divided patients, those with a high magnitude (≥6 choices) of initial procedures had more negative deltas than did those with a high number (≥5 choices) of surgical level choices.

Conclusion

FLSR remains a critical aspect of presurgical planning. Even when reviewers initially believed patients would not benefit from FLSR, we observed changes in preoperative planning after FLSR viewing.

Perfil microbiológico de lanches comercializados na cidade de Xanxerê/SC.
Authors: Senter Luciana
Published: December 2021

Com o ritmo de vida cada dia mais acelerado, o hábito de se alimentar fora de casa tornou-se corriqueiro, entretanto, nem sempre esses alimentos adquiridos prontos são seguros do ponto de vista da segurança dos alimentos. O objetivo do trabalho foi avaliar a qualidade físico-química e microbiológica de lanches vendidos em pontos fixos e ambulantes de acordo com a legislação vigente. Foram coletadas aleatoriamente quinze amostras de lanches (cachorro-quente (3), x-salada, (3) sanduíche natural (3), bolo recheado (3) e brigadeiro (3)) comercializados na cidade de Xanxerê, no oeste catarinense. Os resultados demonstraram que 40% das amostras analisadas encontram-se em desacordo com o padrão estabelecido pela legislação, sendo que a maior parte destes tinham ingredientes crus como possíveis suspeitos de contaminação por coliformes termotolerantes a 45 ºC. Evidenciou-se que os procedimentos higiênico-sanitários adotados pelos estabelecimentos são deficientes, indicando a necessidade de capacitação dos manipuladores em boas práticas.
régimen jurídico de los drones en el àmbito portuario: potencialidad y prospectiva
Authors: Estepa Montero Manuel
Published: December 2021

El Reglamento UE 2018/1139, del Parlamento y del Consejo, de 4 de julio de 2018, sobre normas comunes en el ámbito de la aviación civil, ha supuesto un cambio regulatorio decisivo en la medida en la que impulsa el desarrollo futuro armónico de las RPAs, en el contexto europeo, de manera que no venga a perturbar el funcionamiento de la aviación civil tradicional. La nueva norma comporta una renovación del marco normativo nacional, de manera que se garantizan los bienes jurídicos en riesgo; comenzando por la adecuada protección de las personas. En este contexto, el uso de drones en el ámbito portuario, dada la potencialidad de tales aparatos para realizar tareas de alerta, mantenimiento y control, representa una oportunidad de crecimiento del sector que ha de ir acompañada, inevitablemente, de una serie de cambios regulatorios que deberían afectar, de modo relevante, a destacados instrumentos normativos propios de los puertos de interés general.
