Authors: AÇAR Gülay , DİGİLLİ Betül , SAĞLAM Abdulselam , ÇİÇEKCİBAŞI Aynur
Published: May 2021

Purpose: Digit ratio (2D:4D) is a sexually dimorphic trait, that may be a sign for prenatal testosterone level, which is significantly associated with handgrip strength (HGS) and sex-related body fat distribution. The aim of this study was to explore the association between the 2D:4D, HGS, and body fat distribution parameters in medical students.

Materials and Methods: A total of 253 participants (112 males, 141 females) were involved in this cross-sectional study. Anthropometric parameters, including height and body weight, circumferences of arm, neck, waist, hip, HGS, the length of the second and fourth finger were measured. According to 2D:4D, the volunteers were divided into three groups (>1, =1, 1 was associated with lower HGS, while larger arm, neck, and waist circumferences were associated with higher HGS. Pearson correlation analysis showed that 2D:4D of both hands had a strong negative correlation with height, circumferences of arm and neck, waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), and HGS, whereas it was only positively correlated with body mass index. Right and left HGS were positively correlated with WHR, height, weight, circumferences of arm, neck, and waist.

Conclusion: 2D/4D makes a substantial contribution to our prediction of body fat distribution in terms of the relationship of 2D:4D

Published: May 2021

Purpose: The aim of the present study is to determine the frequency and severity of possible drug-drug interactions (DDIs) in the prescriptions of patients who admitted to the orthopedics and traumatology outpatient clinics.
Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional, retrospective study analyzed the prescription data of patients that admitted to orthopedics and traumatology outpatient clinics of a tertiary care hospital from January 1, 2020 to February 15, 2020. The severity of DDIs was interpreted using the Lexi-comp® drug interaction database. Relationship between the presence of DDIs and the number of prescribed drugs were evaluated.
Results: Out of 753 patient data evaluated, a total of 2248 drugs were prescribed. Among 669 polypharmacy patients, 293 (43.8%) patients had one or more potential DDIs. A total of 437 DDIs were detected of which 300 (68.6%) were D, 82 (18.8%) were X, 49 (11.2%) were C and 6 (1.4%) were B risk category interactions. The most common DDIs were between systemic Diclofenac and topical Diclofenac, (14.4%) The presence of potential DDIs was significantly associated with adult age and female gender.
Conclusion: Although, the severity of the potential DDIs in orthopedics and traumatology outpatient clinics were generally moderate and manageable, it is crutial for physicians to be aware of the interactions between the most frequently prescribed drugs in orthopedics and traumatology outpatient clinics, monitor patients for the safe use of drugs.

Solutions Journalism: Strategies for Effecting and Managing Change
Authors: Lowes Mark , Devereaux Ferguson Sherry
Published: May 2021

The field of journalism is undergoing epic changes at this time. With the growing impact of social media and citizen journalism, among other trends, traditional schools of journalism face a need to re-examine their most fundamental premises. Historically journalists adopted a code of practice whereby the ideal news article focused on issues and problems of consequence to society, and reporters presented both sides of the case. The gold standard was balanced reporting that investigated and uncovered abuses in society, with the mantra being “if it bleeds, it leads.”. There was no added incentive or requirement to take responsibility for solving the problems they uncovered. While print media organizations faced a backlash of criticism following the era of “yellow journalism,” they did not confront the necessity to reorient the entire profession; rather they simply had to “clean up their act” and operationalize what they already knew and believed. Today, the situation is dramatically different—largely as a consequence of the rise of citizen journalism, the impact of social media, and the trend toward an introspective look at their profession by journalists themselves and by those who train the journalists. In this article, we look at the emerging focus on a phenomenon called solutions journalism. Solutions journalism differs in both form and intent from not only the traditional standard of reporting, which focuses on problems, but also “good news reporting,” which tends to be superficial and non-solution oriented. In an effort to understand the current push for a new direction in the journalism profession, we will look at the rise of the new paradigm, pioneers in solutions journalism, characteristics of solutions journalism, and the theoretical foundations of solutions journalism. In exploring the latter point, we will examine the relationships among solutions journalism, social media, open source, systems, and open innovation theories.
Langue et identité chez les joueurs franco-ontariens
Authors: Legault-Thivierge Geoffroy , Ross Philippe
Published: May 2021

Plusieurs recherches au fil des ans se sont penchées sur la consommation médiatique des Franco-Ontariens et les enjeux qui y sont reliés, notamment celui de la préservation de la langue française et de l’identité francophone dans un contexte minoritaire. La situation mérite une attention renouvelée aujourd’hui, vu la place qu’occupent le jeu vidéo et les pratiques de communication qui l’accompagnent dans le paysage médiatique. Notre objectif dans cet article est double : dresser un portrait actuel des usages et pratiques des jeunes Franco-Ontariens autour du jeu vidéo, et en explorer l’incidence sur les dynamiques linguistiques et identitaires. Notre recherche s’inspire de la sociologie des usages et mobilise deux méthodes : un sondage sous forme de questionnaire en ligne auquel ont répondu 33 joueurs franco-ontariens âgés de 18 à 22 ans; et des entretiens semi-dirigés réalisés auprès de six de ces derniers. L’analyse révèle que les joueurs franco-ontariens continuent de favoriser l’anglais dans leur consommation médiatique et que cette tendance vaut aussi pour le jeu vidéo, notamment en ce qui a trait aux aspects matériels, à la communication en situation de jeu, ainsi qu’à la consommation et à la production de contenus connexes. Les joueurs franco-ontariens attribuent par ailleurs au jeu vidéo une amélioration de leurs compétences en anglais et ils s’identifient davantage au terme « bilingue » que « francophone ».

Tracking Control of an Autonomous Head Feeding Combine
Authors: Sutisna Setya Permana , Setiawan Radite Praeko Agus , Subrata I Dewa Made , Mandang Tineke
Published: May 2021

This study aims to develop an autonomous combine harvester. A manual steering combine harvester was modified autonomously using navigation systems of an RTK-DGPS, a gyroscope, and crawler speed sensors. These sensors could determine the combine position and heading required to guide the path. The control system is processed for these navigation sensors' data to make the decision of combine movement. Moreover, it commands the actuator to move the steering lever mechanism. The steering control's desired heading angle was determined from lateral error, heading error, and the traveling speed. In this study, the combined harvester's average forward traveling speed was set at 0.17 m/s, adjusted to a navigation sensor's sampling rate of 5 Hz and the steering mechanism delay. The preliminary test showed the combine could turn by pivoting one of its tracks which turned the radius was into 0.4 m. Furthermore, a guidance control system of the combine harvester was developed based on this test result. The developed guidance control system was successfully guiding the combine to follow the harvesting path. The test results showed that the root mean square of the lateral error was less than 0.1 m.

Authors: Benali Ahmed , Abderrahmane Bellaouar , Djemoui Lalmi , Redjem Hadef
Published: May 2021

This work is devoted to the comparative study for the formation and dissociation of nitrogen oxides by the numerical simulation of turbulent combustion without premix in a combustion chamber having a cylindrical shape with two coaxial jets, two flames using the ANSYS fluent software16.0. The study focuses on the influence of the type of fuel on the composition of discharges in content with NOx, that is to say two cases are treated and compared. Turbulence is modeled by the k-ε model and the chemical aspect of combustion is treated by the PDF model for each flame. The calculation results relate to the characteristics of dynamic fields, temperature, the mass fractions of different species involved in the combustion process and the NOx prediction. The effect of the swirl is also tested in this study with a CFD prediction of non premixed swirling g flame. These results are compared with measurements and confrontations is satisfactory.
Przewodnictwo duchowe w świetle nauczania św. Teofana Pustelnika
Authors: Saszko Irena
Published: May 2021

Święty Teofan Pustelnik (1815-1894) był rosyjskim ascetą, pustelnikiem, a jednocześnie biskupem i teologiem. Zarówno w swoich kazaniach, jak i w licznej korespondencji zachęcał do korzystania z przewodnictwa duchowego, udzielanego wiernym przez mnichów, mniszki oraz kapłanów. Dawał też wskazówki przewodnikom duchowym, w jaki sposób mają sprawować posługę, do której zostali powołani. Nawiązując do tradycji Kościoła głosił, iż relacja między starcem a jego uczniami ma być oparta na zażyłej i serdecznej przyjaźni. Jeśli ktoś nie ma możliwości znalezienia doświadczonego ojca duchowego, to na drodze ku wieczności pomocni mogą być jego przyjaciele.
Feasibility of concentrating potassium minerals from Verdete ore by cell flotation
Authors: Cordeiro Laryssa Batista Christina , Oliveira Michelly dos Santos , De Oliveira Kátia Dionísio , Barrozo Marcos Antônio de Souza , De Ávila Neto Cícero Naves
Published: May 2021

A silicate ore with K2O content above 10%, found in the central region of Minas Gerais (Brazil), called Verdete, was floated in flotation cell. The goal was to evaluate the flotation behaviour of the ore constituents (glauconite, muscovite, K-feldspar and quartz) relative to the use of different collectors (fatty acid soap obtained from rice oil, amine and oleic acid) and depressors (gelatinized cornstarch and sodium silicate). Flotation of the calcination products of Verdete with MgCl2 and CaCl2 were also evaluated. Mass recovery of flotation carried out with Verdete reached a maximum of 53% when amine and sodium silicate were used as collector and depressant, respectively. Mass recovery was directly proportional to collector dosage, and was also influenced by the type of depressor. Calcination of Verdete with MgCl2?xH2O partially consumed the micas and generated MgO. Flotation of this calcination product concentrated MgO in the floated fraction, reaching 93% when oleic acid was used as collector.
A Muhuraida (1785): o heroismo épico do bom colono
Authors: Souza Thiago Gonçalves
Published: May 2021

Muhuraida (1785), de Henrique João Wilkens, militar português, compõe o conjunto de textos da poesia luso-brasileira setecentista. Eclipsado por títulos como O Uraguay (1769) ou o Caramuru (1781) nos estudos de história literária, o poema é tido como um dos marcos inaugurais da literatura produzida na Amazônia e tem sido objeto de estudos contemporâneos, como Treece (1993), Caldas (2007), entre outros. Neste artigo, apresentamos uma leitura crítica que busca inserir o texto em seu presente político-econômico, qual seja, o das reformas conduzidas pela Coroa portuguesa no Estado do Grão-Pará e Maranhão, no que ficou conhecido como reformismo ilustrado.
A denúncia da exploração humana em Cacau (1933), de Jorge Amado (1912-2001)
Authors: Rocha Denise
Published: May 2021

O objetivo do estudo é analisar Cacau, de Jorge Amado, publicado em 1933, que revela aspectos do realismo social: uma tendência estético-literária, que vigorava, principalmente, nos anos 1920 e 1930, e que se caracteriza pelas críticas às estruturas de poder capitalista que incentivava a opressão política e socioeconômica da classe trabalhadora, rural e urbana. Por meio da ideologia socialista de lutas de classes, o escritor revela a perversa engrenagem comercial de exploração dos contratistas nas fazendas de cacau, no sul da Bahia. O estudo será baseado nas reflexões sobre a literatura proletária (Arnold-Dielewicz e Arnold) e a literatura engajada (Denis).
Simón Bolívar, o inimigo nº1 do Peru: perspectiva desconstrucionista e decolonial em La visita de Bolívar (2018)
Authors: Mendez Hugo Eliecer Dourado , Guizzo Antonio Rediver
Published: May 2021

Na literatura latino-americana da última década, encontramos romances híbridos de história e ficção que, por meio de singulares estratégias discursivas, narrativas e escriturais, arquitetam uma figura de Simón Bolívar integralmente desconstruída, abandonando qualquer tipo de indulgência outorgada, na tessitura narrativa, a respeito dos seus feitos mais questionáveis. Umas dessas obras é escrita por Herbert Morote, pesquisador e literato peruano, La visita de Bolívar (2018). No presente estudo buscamos, por meio da análise estética e discursiva dessa obra, compreender o processo de desmistificação e desconstrução do qual a figura histórica é foco. Evidenciamos, também, como esse processo de revisão e ressignificação histórica aponta para novos caminhos dentro dos estudos decoloniais, visando uma reestruturação ideológica e social no nosso continente. Para tanto, basear-nos-emos nos pressupostos de Mignolo (2007), Fleck (2017) e Menton (1993), entre outros pesquisadores.
Entre frestas: considerações sobre o teor ficcional, o teor de verdade e o teor testemunhal
Authors: Sarmento-Pantoja Augusto Nascimento
Published: May 2021

O presente estudo está pautado nos debates que envolvem problemas e conceitos inerentes ao testemunho, dentre os quais um aspecto mais próximo dos estudos literários e culturais: a forte presença do teor testemunhal, tal como pensado por Márcio Seligmann-Silva, baseado em Walter Benjamin, presente em obras artísticas, as quais se revestem das estratégias narrativas do testemunho para se construir. De outro modo, analisamos em narrativas de testemunho o que chamamos aqui de teor ficcional, como parte de um complexo narrativo, que se utiliza de estratégias ficcionais para a construção do testemunho.

Published: May 2021

Este artigo apresenta reflexões e sugestões no âmbito das metodologias de ensino-aprendizagem, notadamente nas práticas de leitura e de escrita literárias. O objetivo é apresentar a escrita de si como instrumento para desenvolver o aprendizado dos conteúdos da literatura, conectado à realidade e à subjetividade dos alunos de uma escola do município do Rio de Janeiro. Para isso foi necessário um planejamento prévio de ações e de técnicas para subsidiar e motivar os alunos para a tarefa de escrever impressões de mundo, visando construir um arcabouço para incentivá-los a produzir escritos como transbordamento do eu, a partir da escrita de si. Os artefatos produzidos e analisados durante a pesquisa mostram previamente que ao verbalizar emoções e vivências na escrita autoral, o aluno assume perfil mais autônomo sobre sua aprendizagem, o que pode motivá-lo a melhorar seu rendimento escolar.

Parent Perceptions of a College Physical Education Program for Homeschool Students
Authors: Groccia Steven , Moosbrugger Michelle , Mirando Kevin
Published: May 2021

Although the number of homeschool students in the United States has increased to approximately 2 million K–12 students as of spring 2010, there has been limited research on homeschool families and physical education. In particular, investigations of parent perceptions of homeschool physical education programs are lacking. The purpose of this study was to examine the parent perceptions of a college physical education program for homeschool children. Participants included 11 female parents of a child or children enrolled in the homeschool physical education program for 6 weeks. Data were collected through focus group interviews with the 11 parents placed in one of three groups based on the age of their participant(s). In addition, observational field notes were taken before, during, and after each homeschool physical education session. Data were inductively analyzed for themes through constant comparison of raw data. Methodological and investigator triangulation and member checking were utilized and supported trustworthiness. Five main themes emerged from the data from the parent perceptions of physical education and benefits of participating in physical education. For physical education, homeschool parents described a developmentally appropriate curriculum. Further, the theme of negative physical education experiences describes poor physical activity experiences that have influenced parent perceptions of physical education. Homeschool parents recognized multiple benefits of physical education in relation to their children and to the family. At the student participation level, the theme of affective learning describes the social-emotional development experienced by the homeschool children through the physical education program. The theme of student exposure describes other participant benefits of a physical education program. Finally, the theme of impact on family describes the benefits associated with physical education taking place outside of the college physical education program.
The Occurrence of Cultivated Plants in the Region of Styria from the Palaeolithic till the Middle Ages
Authors: Paušič Andrej , Šušek Andrej
Published: May 2021

The aim of this review study was to analyse large paleo-botanical datasets derived from investigations of 35 archaeological sites and published during a longer time period. The presence of 18 selected crop taxa has been monitored in the region of Styria. Our results indicate that in the Copper Age, the cultivation and usage of proso millet (Panicum miliaceum) and the einkorn wheat (Triticum monococcum) was present. From the Bronze Age period, the most commonly grown taxa are barley (Hordeum vulgare), proso millet, emmer wheat (Triticum dicoccum) and spelt wheat (Triticum spelta). In the Iron Age, some new crops emerged along with the already common foxtail millet (Setaria italica) and common flax (Linum usitatissimum), a species first found in Styria during this exact period. The importance of Roman period for Styria lies in the introduction of new taxa like the Persian walnut (Juglans regia), of which remnants were also found in the studied area. The late Antiquity and Middle Ages are a wide time frame where all important cereal taxa were already known from previous periods and were also grown in the studied area, with the exception of oat (Avena sativa) and durum wheat
(Triticum durum), of which remnants were absent from this period.

Laganje se kod dece javlja veoma rano i u fokusu prethodnih istraživanja uglavnom je bila sposobnost laganja kod dece predškolskog uzrasta. U ovom istraživanju korišćenjem nove procedure za ispitivanje sposobnosti laganja, cilj je bio ispitati sposobnost laganja kod dece školskog uzrasta, kao i kognitivne i socijalne korelate uspešnosti dece u laganju. Ukupno 48 dece, po 16 učenika prvog, petog i osmog razreda osnovne škole imali su zadatak da osmisle lažni autobiografski narativ i da ga što uverljivije izlože kako bi ubedili druge da im se to stvarno dogodilo, a uverljivost njihovih snimljenih izlaganja procenjivalo je 15 nezavisnih procenjivača. Od razrednog starešine na osnovu posebno konstruisanog inventara prikupljene su procene izraženosti inteligencije, verbalne sposobnosti, omiljenosti među vršnjacima i antisocijalnog ponašanja svakog učenika. Rezultati pokazuju da su deca uzrasta od 10 do 11 godina i deca uzrasta od 13 do 14 godina procenjena kao uverljivija prilikom laganja u odnosu na mlađu decu, uzrasta od 6 do 7 godina. Međutim, nije dobijena razlika u uspešnosti laganja dece uzrasta od 10-11 godina i dece uzrasta od 13 do 14 godina, kao ni razlika u sposobnosti laganja između devojčica i dečaka. Deca sa višim školskim postignućem i ona koja su procenjena od strane razrednog nastavnika kao inteligentnija verbalno sposobnija i omiljenija među vršnjacima su takođe od strane grupe nezavisnih procenjivača procenjena kao uverljivija pri izlaganju lažnih autobiografskih događaja.

Published: May 2021

Minimally invasive dentistry is based on conservative techniques for the treatment of initial caries lesions, the so-called white spot lesions. One of the conservative maneuvers includes the use of enamel resin infiltrant: a low viscosity material that penetrates the enamel pores to stop lesion progression. Aim: Therefore, this case report aimed to describe the clinical case of a 28-year-old female patient under routine consultation, in which a radiographic examination showed the presence of two incipient caries lesions in the left upper premolars. Methods: The application of a resin infiltrating agent (Icon®, DMG – Hamburg, Germany) was chosen as treatment to stop caries lesions progression. Conclusion: The use of this conservative technique can be considered a promising approach for the prevention of dental tissue wear, and the resin infiltrant is considered an effective material.

A partir de esta observación, tratamos de reflexionar sobre el significado de la vida en el claustro en los tiempos contemporáneos. Por lo tanto, en vista de las múltiples posibilidades de investigación y escritura sobre este tema, en el espacio de este artículo, nos dedicamos a reflexionar sobre las razones de la permanencia de la institución de clausura en Brasil, destacando el trabajo de la Iglesia católica y la idea de vocación, eligiendo el Monasterio de Santa Clara como sitio de investigación, ubicado en la ciudad de Campina Grande - PB.
Cuba, el camino de la transición de la sociedad confesional a la República laica
Authors: Valencia Felipe Pérez
Published: May 2021

Secularismo y laicidad son términos que han sido asumidos en occidente como elementos fundamentales de la modernidad sociopolítica. El proceso histórico seguido por ambos fenómenos hasta instalarse en ciertas naciones no sigue un patrón común, ni mucho menos obedece a un modelo universal. Al ser, ambos, fenómenos que ocurren en medios sociales muy diferentes y en estrecho vínculo con dicho medio, ocurre que en cada región del mundo los procesos de secularización y laicización han descrito un camino diferente en el curso del cual el concepto mismo ha adquirido una fisonomía propia. El trabajo que a continuación se presenta tiene por objetivo analizar como ocurre en Cuba, última colonia americana de la muy católica España, el proceso de tránsito de la sociedad confesional a la sociedad laica. Además, pretendemos esbozar las características que dicho proceso adquiere en el país caribeño. Teniendo en cuenta la complejidad que dicho proceso adquiere en Cuba a partir de la segunda mitad del siglo XX, las fronteras temporales del presente artículo se extienden desde los inicios de la colonia hasta el inicio de la República.
La "herencia durkheimiana" en la revista Archives de Sciences Sociales des Religions
Authors: Oro Ari Pedro
Published: May 2021

Este artículo trata de la revista francesa Archives de Sciences Sociales des Religions y su relación con la Escuela Sociológica Francesa, o la escuela Dürkheimiana. Fundado en 1956 por un pequeño grupo de cinco intelectuales, a saber: Henri Desroche, Émile Poulat, Jacques Maître, François-André Isambert y Gabriel Le Bras, este grupo, influenciado principalmente por este último, impresionó en el grupo un espíritu de trabajo cooperativo colectivo, a quien conoció con algunos sociólogos y antropólogos que trabajaron en la revista Année sociologique, como Marcel Mauss, Maurice Halbwachs, Celestin Bouglé, Louis Massignon, François Simiand y Henri Lévy-Bruhl. Asimismo, la herencia de Dürkheim se mantuvo institucionalmente en el horizonte de los Archives, lo que se quería, en cierta medida, continuar con el Année sociologique en el tratamiento científico del tema de la religión, sin dejar de lado la teoría de la religión de Dürkheim, en la cual los Archives consagraron numerosos textos e incluso tres volúmenes a lo largo de su historia, que serán considerados en este artículo.
Materialidades y mediaciones en las religiones latinoamericanas
Authors: Cernadas César Ceriani , Giumbelli Emerson
Published: May 2021

En los últimos 15 años, la materialidad se ha convertido en un término clave en investigaciones y publicaciones sobre religión. En antropología, esto acompaña y expresa el giro material que ha dado a los objetos y sus agencias un renovado protagonismo. En los estudios religiosos, la misma tendencia es parte de un cuestionamiento más amplio de puntos de vista que favorecen las creencias y el contenido sobre las prácticas y formas. La creación de la revista Material Religion en 2005 se puede tomar como un indicador importante de estos cambios. Editada por ocho manos, la revista también dejó en claro la naturaleza multidisciplinaria de su propuesta, capaz de involucrar, además de antropología y estudios religiosos, estética, geografía, arquitectura, museología y, por supuesto, sociología y otras ciencias sociales.
Em nome de Deus?
Authors: Jesus Diego Santos Vieira de
Published: May 2021

Os objetivos são explicar a pouca atenção inicial dada por autores da área de Relações Internacionais à religião, examinar o impacto da maior consideração da religião nessa área pelos seus especialistas a partir da década de 1970 e identificar as formas pelas quais a religião influencia a política internacional. A pouca atenção inicial dada por autores da área de Relações Internacionais à religião está relacionada à predominância da “tese da secularização” nas Ciências Sociais, que sustenta que há uma distinção crescente entre as esferas religiosa e secular, a crença religiosa tornou-se mais apropriadamente consignada à esfera privada e a privatização da religião tornou-se condição indispensável ao desenvolvimento dos sistemas políticos modernos. A maior consideração da religião impacta a área de Relações Internacionais na medida em que os analistas dessa área precisam explorar como a religião define o sentido, a natureza e o resultado da guerra e outros eventos internacionais e, assim, desenvolver arcabouços teóricos mais complexos que superem as limitações das principais teorias de Relações Internacionais. A religião pode influenciar a política internacional na elaboração de normas e princípios em termos de seus parâmetros básicos, jogadores e códigos de conduta que orientam o conflito e a guerra entre unidades políticas no sistema internacional e na ampliação da visão normativa dos principais atores na política internacional para um reconhecimento mais robusto dos direitos humanos. Entretanto, a religião também pode influenciar as identidades e as motivações das pessoas em um conflito, o escopo e a intensidade dos objetivos políticos de um grupo religioso e a natureza transnacional de grupos e comunidades. Em suas perspectivas mais inclusivas, as religiões podem criar lealdades que permitam mais justiça e paz a toda a humanidade e oferecer bases para esforços transnacionais voltados para a melhoria da governança em todos os níveis de interação social.
Discurso laico e discurso religioso em tempos de coronavírus
Authors: Gonçalves Rafael Bruno
Published: May 2021

Este artigo procura analisar os discursos sobre a pandemia de coronavírus (Covid-19) apresentados por três jornais evangélicos, o Mensageiro da Paz, Jornal Show da Fé e a Folha Universal durante o primeiro semestre de 2020. Trata-se de uma abordagem qualitativa que pretende empregar algumas categorias de análise oriundas dos Estudos Críticos do Discurso (ECD) para compreender o processo de (re) produção de informações e os mecanismos de controle que compõem o discurso religioso. A partir de um panorama sobre a presença de enunciados confessionais e laicos nas mídias oficiais evangélicas em um contexto pandêmico, o artigo vai buscar investigar as estratégias utilizadas por essas denominações religiosas e que tipo de controle do discurso emerge dessas relações.

Gender Differences in Urothelial Bladder Cancer. Effects of Natural Killer Lymphocyte Immunity
Authors: Lutz Charles T , Livas Lydia , Presnell Steven R. R , Sexton Morgan , Wang Peng
Published: May 2021

Men are more likely to develop cancer than women. In fact, male predominance is one of the most consistent cancer epidemiology findings. Additionally, men have a poorer prognosis and an increased risk of secondary malignancies compared to women. These differences have been investigated in order to better understand cancer and to better treat both men and women. In this review, we discuss factors that may cause this gender difference, focusing on urothelial bladder cancer (UBC) pathogenesis. We consider physiological factors that may cause higher male cancer rates, including differences in X chromosome gene expression. We discuss how androgens may promote bladder cancer development directly by stimulating bladder urothelium and indirectly by suppressing immunity. We are particularly interested in natural killer (NK) cells because they are important, but often overlooked anti-cancer lymphocytes.
Cost Implications of Menstrual Hygiene Management in Nigeria and Its Associated Impacts
Authors: Ajari Esther , Abass Temidayo , Ilesanmi Esther , Adebisi Yusuff
Published: May 2021

There has been a steady rise in the recognition of Menstrual Hygiene Management (MHM) as a pressing public health issue due to several advocacy campaigns against its high cost. However, not much of such recognition has been given to it outside the non-profit sector in Nigeria. This is paradoxical considering that most menstruators in Nigeria cannot afford MHM whose cost is considered high even in developed countries. We estimated that the average lifetime cost of MHM in Nigeria is $1,120 per menstruator and $113.57 billion for the entire menstruating population. Although this cost is relatively lower than in other countries, Nigeria’s low income level explains why there is a high prevalence of period poverty among menstruators in Nigeria. This paper discusses the intersected impacts of the cost of MHM and period poverty on the average Nigerian menstruator, his/her family, the economy, the environment and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. To alleviate the discussed negative effects, we suggested, as a key recommendation, the national shift from the use of disposable MHM products to that of reusable ones.
Thermal Oxidative and Non-Oxidative Degradation Behaviour of Afuze Coal
Authors: Nyakuma Bemgba B.
Published: May 2021

This study presents a preliminary analysis of the chemical and thermal fuel properties of Afuze (AFZ) coal extracted from coalfields in Owan East Local Government Area of Edo State, Nigeria. The chemical properties of AFZ were examined by combined scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive X-ray (EDX), whereas the thermal properties were deduced by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) under flash (50 °C/min heating rate) oxidative (combustion) and non-oxidative (pyrolysis) conditions. The microstructure and morphology analysis of AFZ revealed has a compact structure comprising small-to-large, irregular shaped and exfoliated grains with a vitreous appearance typically ascribed to metal elements (Ti and Fe) kaolinite, quartz, and other clay minerals. Chemical analysis revealed carbon, oxygen, aluminium, silicon, sulphur, calcium, titanium, and iron in major and minor (trace) quantities. Thermal analysis under oxidative and non-oxidative conditions revealed degradation occurs in three stages, namely; drying or demineralisation, devolatilization or maceral degradation and the formation of char/coke or ash. Lastly, the findings showed that the temperature range for the oxidative thermal degradation process (338.58 - 756.76 °C) was higher than the non-oxidative process (378.43 - 615.34 °C). This observation can be explained by the exothermic nature of the oxidative (combustion) process, which ensures greater heat supply required to thermally soften or degrade the maceral coal components. Overall, the oxidative process yielded the residual mass (RM = 21.97%) and mass loss (ML = 78.03%). The lower ML (49.03%) but higher RM (50.97%) observed during non-oxidative degradation of AFZ could be ascribed to the largely endothermic nature of the process.
