Published: November 2021

Introduction:

Multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii is galloping, posing threat to tackle, and leaving us with limited options of treatment.

Methods:

The purpose of this study is to find the genotypic association in drug-resistant A. baumannii isolated from different sterile body fluids. Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization–time of flight confirmed A. baumannii isolates were taken and minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) was determined by VITEK-2 AST system. The presence of resistance nodulation–division (RND)-efflux pump genes AdeABC-RS was detected by multiplex polymerase chain reaction.

Results:

Of the total 40 A. baumannii, 32 (80%) were multidrug resistant though all isolates were susceptible to Tigecycline. Similarly, 26 (81.25%) isolates were positive for RND-efflux pump genes AdeABC-RS.

Discussion:

RND efflux pump AdeABC-RS system plays a significant role in emerging multi drug resistant A. baumannii. Mutation in AdeS gene deciphers the role of regulatory gene. Hence, antimicrobial stewardship should be strictly followed and efflux pump inhibiting substances should be vigorously searched to bring back the era of existing antibiotics.

Published: November 2021

Background:

The COVID-19 pandemic has greatly impacted the progress of medical education. As the crisis continues, it is important to develop valid and reliable methods of assessment.

Aims:

To assess the impact of the competency-based medical education (CBME) implemented online in the department of physiology during this pandemic on the results of internal assessments conducted online.

Materials and Methods:

This pilot study was conducted on two hundred First-year MBBS students at Burdwan Medical College after taking Institutional clearance in 6 months. Two internal assessments had to be conducted online in 6 months. We divided our internal assessment sessions which were conducted at three monthly intervals into 4 compartments: multiple-choice questions, short answer type questions, orals, and spots. We conducted two surveys to assess the stress levels of the students and two feedback surveys to assess our teaching program. Statistical analysis: T-test and Chi-square test was used to analyze the data.

Results:

Assessments scores of students in the first session were 59.68 ± 10.91; assessment scores of students in the second session were 73.21 ± 8.66; P < 0.001 ** (highly significant). Perceived stress score (PSS) in the first survey was 21.36 ± 3.84 and PSS in the second survey was 20.77 ± 4.13; P = 0.144. Thirty students failed in the first session while 1 in the second session, χ
2 = 32.1; P < 0.0001**. At the end of 3 months, 11.4% had difficulty in studying physiology, while at the end of 6 months, 8.5% had difficulty in studying physiology with online support.

Conclusions:

The first MBBS students were able to cope up better with the online mode of teaching with the passage of time and regular feedback provided to them. The results of the present study demonstrate that the department of physiology could implement CBME online and conduct internal assessments also.

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common form of chronic liver disease, affecting almost one-third of the general population and 75% of obese patients with type 2 diabetes. The aim of this article is to review the current evidence concerning the role of quercetin, a natural compound and flavonoid, and its possible therapeutic effects on this modern-day disease. Despite the fact that the exact pathophysiological mechanisms through which quercetin has a hepatoprotective effect on NAFLD are still not fully elucidated, this review clearly demonstrates that this flavonoid has potent antioxidative stress action and inhibitory effects on hepatocyte apoptosis, inflammation, and generation of reactive oxygen species, factors which are linked to the development of the disease. NAFLD is closely associated with increased dietary fat consumption, especially in Western countries. The hepatoprotective effect of quercetin against NAFLD merits serious consideration and further validation by future studies.
Selectividad e igualdad de oportunidades en el acceso a carreras de pedagogía: compleja convivencia en un contexto de financiamiento a la demanda
Authors: Rodríguez-Garcés Carlos René , Espinosa-Valenzuela Denisse , Padilla-Fuentes Geraldo , Suazo-Ruíz Claudia
Published: November 2021

Con información del Sistema Único de Admisión y el Consejo Nacional de Educación, se explora el impacto que mayores exigencias de ingreso tienen sobre las características de la demanda y la matrícula en carreras de Formación Inicial Docente (FID). Mediante análisis estadísticos comparativos y de tendencia, se observa una sostenida reducción en el número de vacantes y cobertura de matrícula, afectando principalmente a las universidades privadas. Paralelamente, se observa un aumento en la proporción de estudiantes que, no cumpliendo con el estándar de 500 puntos PSU, ingresan por vía especial. Se expone que el éxito de las políticas de selectividad e igualdad de oportunidades en FID está limitado por una lógica de financiamiento a la demanda que presiona por la captación de matrícula. Hipotéticamente es posible argüir que, junto con favorecer la igualdad de oportunidades, las medidas de inclusión serían utilizadas estratégicamente por las instituciones para incrementar su matrícula.

Espacios de verificación en TikTok. Comunicación y formas narrativas para combatir la desinformación
Authors: Sidorenko Bautista Pavel , Alonso López Nadia , Giacomelli Fabio
Published: November 2021

Introducción. Desde 2020 TikTok se ha convertido en red social tendencia a escala global. De ser inicialmente una plataforma para adolescentes se ha convertido en un entorno digital donde impera la comunicación efímera muy estimulante y visual. Hoy confluyen en ella una amplia diversidad de emisores, entre los cuales asisten medios y periodista. Y como ocurre en toras redes sociales, en un contexto de hiperconectividad, las informaciones falsas se viralizan con facilidad, complejizando así el desarrollo de la desinformación. Metodologí­a. A partir de una triangulación de técnicas de carácter cualitativo y cuantitativo, tales como estudio de casos, análisis de contenidos, entrevistas a profundidad y encuestas, se analiza la comunicación de los fact-checkers con perfil activo en TikTok, con el fin de determinar las claves para desmentir bulos y luchar contra la desinformación en una red social tan particular, donde aparentemente los usuarios asisten para divertirse y distraerse. Discusión y conclusiones. Queda en evidencia no solo la pertinencia sino la necesidad de medios, periodistas y específicamente medios de verificación, de llevar a cabo su labor a través de nuevos escenarios como lo es TikTok, no solo para poder asegurar un incremento del alcance del mensaje de cara a nuevos segmentos de audiencia, sino como un proceso innovador para atacar el fenómeno de la desinformación, noticias falsas y especulaciones cada vez más descentralizado a través de los canales digitales. TikTok ha supuesto un reto narrativo a partir de la síntesis del mensaje y la creatividad visual.

For decades foreign direct investments (FDI) were privilege of companies from advanced economies, which invested in less developed economies and harvesting benefits of such activities. Leading position in capital, technology, managerial skills, etc, allowed them to penetrate markets of high potential but with less skills and lower costs (labour, raw material, etc) and standards (environmental, labour, etc.). Although USA and EU are still the far most advanced economies, adding majority of FDI to world stock and flow, since 2010, China is speeding up more than ever, investing in developed and non-developed eonomies. Only in Europe, Chinese companies invested more than 30 billion euros yearly in period from 2016 to 2018, comparing only 2 billion in 2010. That trend rised some concerns about Chinese nature of FDI, especially due to some of their peculiarities, noticed by schoolars, politiciant and domestic companies. In 2019 the EU issues Regulation (EU) 2019/452 that provides a framework for the screening of foreign direct investments and for cooperation.

In this chapter, we study services and their unique characteristics. We focus on characteristics of services, such as intangibility, immateriality; invisibility; perishability; temporary existence, sensitivity on time; non storability; inseparability; lack of inventory; sensibility of quality control; high degree of risk or difficulty in experimentation; no return possibility at un-satisfaction; customisation requirements; different distribution channels; and no rivalry. We also analyse the relations between exports, investments in development and innovation activities of Slovene business services sectors in two statistically different periods (2002-2008 and 2010-2016). A two-step approach to examine the firms’ performance in the selected business non-financial services sectors was applied. First, we used Simple Probit model, and in the second step, Simultaneous Probit model was used. The preliminary results suggest that the investment in R&D activities encourages export behaviour and that the export behaviour encourages investment in R&D activities.
Financialization, premature deindustrialization, and instability in Latin America*
Authors: Caldentey Esteban Pérez , Vernengo Matías
Published: November 2021

The paper analyses the relation between premature deindustrialization in Latin America and what is termed premature financialization. Premature financialization is defined as a turn to finance, organized as an industrial concern, which is a vehicle for accumulation before the process of industrialization has reached maturity. This contrasts with developed countries where financialization occurs after an advanced stage of economic and social development has been reached, and where the growth of the financial sector, beyond a certain threshold, can be detrimental to economic activity. The paper examines the consequences of premature financialization for investment, growth, and financial stability.
Inwentarz kościoła Świętego Ducha w Łęcznej z 1834 roku
Authors: Jop Robert
Published: November 2021

Dzieje fundacji prepozytury Świętego Ducha w Łęcznej nie są do końca rozpoznane. Nieznany jest także dokładny czas powstania kościoła szpitalnego. Historycy datują te wydarzenia w szerokim przedziale czasowym od 1540 r. do początku II dekady XVII w. Podobnie jak w innych miastach, łęczyński kościół szpitalny usytuowany był na przedmieściu, a znajdujący się przy nim przytułek służył chorym i ubogim mieszkańcom. Kościół był drewniany, stąd często dotykały go klęski pożaru. Na początku lat 30. XIX w. świątynia była w złym stanie technicznym, dlatego rozebrano ją pomiędzy wrześniem 1834 r. a kwietniem 1836 r. Artykuł zawiera edycję inwentarza kościoła Świętego Ducha w Łęcznej z 1834 r.

The Inventory of the Holy Spirit Church in Łęczna of 1834
The history of the Holy Spirit provostry foundation in Łęczna has not yet been fully investigated. The exact date of the establishment of the hospital church in Łęczna is also unknown. Historians date these events to a broad time bracket from 1540 to the beginnings of the second decades of the 17th century. Like in other towns, the Łęczna hospital church was situated on the outskirts, and the adjacent shelter served the sick and poor inhabitants. The church was wooden, which is why it was frequently hit by conflagrations. In the early 1830s the church was in poor technical condition, therefore why it was demolished between September 1834 and April 1836. The article contains the edition of the 1834 inventory of the Holy Spirit church in Łęczna.

Authors: Bello Mercy Busayo , Aina Christopher , Oluwole Ajayi
Published: November 2021

This study examined the impact of job satisfaction on employees’ turnover intention within the hotel industry in Lagos State. Structured questionnaires were used to collect the data while partial least squares structural equation modelling was adopted for the analysis. It emerged from the study that the relationship between job stress, promotion opportunity, supervisory support and workplace environment and employees’ turnover intention are statistically significant. Aside, the relationship between payment system and employees’ turnover tendency is not significant. The findings provide significant implication for the government of Lagos State to ensuring that hotel operators provide hazards-free facilities for staff. Apart, hotel managers should ensure that policy-trust capable of mitigating interferences of work by employee’s family, and social obligations are put in place. It is further implying that hotel operators should give more attention to staff promotion to limit staff turnover tendency. The study contributes to the body of knowledge as it proposed and validated job satisfaction, and employees’ turnover intention (JOSET) model from a non-western context. The results also provide hotel business operators, the government, and academics with new insight into the relationship between job satisfaction, and employees’ turnover intention of hotels in an emerging economy.

Published: November 2021

Yogurt, often known as yoghurt, is one of the most popular fermented dairy products in the world, with a wide range of health
advantages in addition to basic nutrition. In general, yogurt is a nutrient-dense food because of its nutritional profile, and it is a
high-calcium source that supplies considerable amounts of calcium in bio-available form. Furthermore, it contains milk proteins
with a higher biological value as well as nearly all of the essential amino acids required for optimal health. Yogurt is a probiotic
carrier food that may transfer large numbers of probiotic bacteria into the body, providing unique health benefits if consumed.
These are commonly referred to as "bio-yogurts." Yogurt is also said to help with lactose tolerance, immunological boosting, and
the prevention of gastrointestinal problems. Consumer demand for yogurt and yogurt-related products has surged as a result of
these well-known health benefits, and it has become the fastest-growing dairy category in the world. Yogurts are currently
available in a variety of styles and variations, each with its own fat content, flavor profile, and texture, making them suited for a
variety of meal settings and plates as a snack, dessert, sweet or savory dish.
A Rapid Review of Internet Mediated Research Methods with People with Dementia: Practical, Technical and Ethical Considerations
Authors: Phenwan Tharin , Sixsmith Judith , McSwiggan Linda , Buchanan Deans
Published: November 2021

Doing research with People with Dementia (PwD) can be challenging given that disease symptoms of anxiety, forgetfulness, and fluctuating mental capacity can make recruitment and data collection difficult. Once COVID-19 made face-to-face data collection impractical, using internet-based methods became an alternative option to continue with research. However, data collection with PwD over the internet requires strategies to observe, support, and enable them to engage with research, especially with qualitative approaches. Nine articles were selected via a decade rapid scoping review (undertaken March-June 2020) to identify qualitative online methods used with PwD and associated challenges. Methods used were online interviews, clinical assessment/telemedicine, and textual analysis from blogs, forum posts, and Tweets created by PwD. Practical challenges identified: the researchers’ limited ability to manage the physical and social environment. Technical challenges identified: the need for a high degree of technical support for participants prior and during data collection. Ethical challenges identified, negotiating confidentiality, obtaining valid informed consent, and ensuring data security. Implicit findings found related to how researchers perceived and treated online data retrieved from the internet and how the challenges mentioned in the included articles did not link to dementia symptoms.
Da li obuke nastavnika za rad u digitalnom okruženju utiču na promenu odnosa prema digitalizaciji nastave?
Authors: Golubović Dejan
Published: November 2021

The goal of the study that was conducted in the High School of Economics and Trade in Zaječar was to establish whether and to what extent teacher training courses on work in a digital environment contribute to a change in a teacher’s attitude to the digitalization of education. Two online surveys (the Google questionnaire) were conducted, with 68 teachers participating. The first survey was conducted at the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic and the second one 6 months later. The study began with the hypothesis that a rather strong resistance to digitalization exhibited in the first survey would, after a series of training courses, grow weaker in intensity as more and more advantages are listed. The results of both surveys showed an equally negative attitude to digitalization, with the reasons of resistance being different – in the first survey, they include inexperience in work with digital tools, and in the second one they include the impossibility of making an objective evaluation of students’ achievements and increased workload. The conclusion is that in the digital model of education teachers recognize inherent weaknesses, for which reason it is viewed solely as an addition to the traditional form of teaching.
Functional visualization in diseases of the joints: current status and prospects (clinical lecture)
Authors: Satyr M.V. , Solodiannykova О.І. , Noverko I.V. , Galchenko О.Yu.
Published: November 2021

Background. Diseases of the musculoskeletal system (MSS), in particular diseases of joints, are a leading factor for reducing the work ability of the population all around the world. The early diagnosis and treatment for them is a high priority task for clinical medicine. Modern nuclear medicine methods can significantly increase the possibilities in differential diagnostics, optimize treatment and improve the prognosis of diseases of the musculoskeletal system (MOP). Purpose – to study and generalize the world experience of application of modern methods of osteoscintigraphy (OSG) for diagnostics of joints diseases, to define possibilities and prospects of various scintigraphic acquisitions for investigation patients with MSS pathology. Materials and methods. Full-text publications in the databases Scopus, Web of Science Core Collection, PubMed (mostly 2015–2021), international standard guidelines for the diagnosis of MSS pathology and monographs for radionuclide examination methods and hybrid imaging technologies in oncology, orthopedics and traumatology. Results. We received the main approaches for radiological diagnostics of pathological changes in joints and the abilities of osteoscintigraphy. We defined the main principles and analyzed the possibilities and advantages of different nuclear medicine protocols: conventional planar examination of the whole body, 3-phase OSG, single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) and combined technology with X-ray computed tomography (SPECT/CT). Indications for the use of OSG in various pathological changes of ORA have been determined. We considered different patterns of radiation imaging according to the pathogenesis of various pathological processes – systemic arthritis, diseases of the joints of the spine, upper and lower extremities. The possibilities of different radiological methods for diagnosing and application of different modes of OSG depending on the pathogenesis and localization of lesions were analyzed and compared. Conclusions. Performing 3-phase OSG and tomographic modes (SPECT, SPECT/CT) significantly increases the efficiency of the method for the diagnostics, determination of process activity, staging and prevalence of joint pathology, as well as for monitoring the treatment results. The method detects active metabolic processes at an early stage in the vascular, soft tissue and bone phases and determines the condition of the joints of the whole body without additional radiation exposure.
EL JUEGO DE LOS ABALORIOS: del Último Teorema de Fermat a los Solitones Ópticos
Authors: Fujioka Jorge , Rodríguez Alfredo Gómez , Cerón Áurea Espinosa
Published: November 2021

Siguiendo la idea del Juego de los Abalorios (de Hermann Hesse), en este trabajo investigamos qué relación existe entre el último Teorema de Fermat (UTF) y los solitones ópticos. Para encontrar esta relación examinamos los pasos principales que condujeron a la demostración del UTF, empezando por la conjetura de Taniyama-Shimura, y pasando por las contribuciones de Hellegouarch, Frey y Ribet, hasta llegar al trabajo de Wiles. Posteriormente examinamos algunas de las ecuaciones que describen a los solitones ópticos. De este análisis se desprende que las curvas elípticas constituyen el puente que relaciona ambos temas. Veremos, además, que las ecuaciones que describen solitones ópticos también podrían tener alguna relación con la criptografía. Finalmente veremos que los resultados encontrados en este trabajo nos permiten proponer 2 conjeturas que constituyen temas de investigación para el futuro.

 

Following the idea of the Glass Bead Game (by Hermann Hesse), in this work we investigate what relation exists between Fermat´s Last Theorem (FLT) and the optical solitons. To find such a relationship we examine the principal steps which lead to the demonstration of FLT, starting from Taniyama-Shimura´s conjecture, then paying attention to the contributions of Hellegouarch, Frey and Ribet, and finally the work of Wiles. Then we examine some of the equations which describe optical solitons. From this analysis it follows that the elliptic curves constitute the bridge that connects both topics. Moreover, we will observe that the equations which describe optical solitons might also be related to cryptography. Finally, we will see that the results found in this communication permit us to propose 2 conjectures that constitute research topics for future works.

Authors: Nirmawan Handri Mufti , Astiwardhani Winny
Published: November 2021

This research is based on the phenomenon of the problem of the widespread use of payment methods based on financial technology (fintech), namely mobile payments which contribute to the circulation of electronic money reaching Rp.47.2 trillion in December 2018. However, there are mental barriers that increasingly hinder the intention to adopt this fintech-based service. One of the largest providers of mobile payment is Go-Pay who owned by Go-Jek. These barriers are in the form of costs, trustworthiness, usefulness, benefits, and experiences that will be obtained. The aims of this study are to identify the effects of Perceived cost, Perceived trust, Perceived usefulness, and Perceived customer value addition on Intention to Use Go-Pay Mobile Payment services on Small Traders. The samples used were 120 respondents of small traders. This study uses multiple linear regression analysis to identify the relationship between variables. These results indicate that the perceived cost, perceived trust, and perceived customer value addition have a significant positive effect on Intention to use, while perceived usefulness has a negative and insignificant effect on Intention to use. This research is expected to be able to provide benefits for mobile payment providers in developing ways to attract small merchant partners for their mobile payment facilities.

Comparative Analytical Modeling and Performance Investigation of Graphene-Based Super Capacitor with Four Traditional Batteries
Authors: Mehmood Arsal
Published: November 2021

Graphene, a magical development of 2004, has revolutionized today's energy storage technologies. It is nothing but a graphite two-dimensional (2D) allotropic pure carbon layer which is derived from a three-dimensional (3D) shape. Since batteries have been the most common storage device from the invention of the first electrical battery by an Italian physicist Alessandro Volta in 1799 A.D but batteries offer many drawbacks, such as length, weight, poor transient response, low power density, and high internal resistance. In this contrast, the impressive and unique properties of graphene supercapacitor such as high peak current, high surface area, high electrical conductivity, low internal resistance, high load current, long life cycle, high power density, low-temperature charging, and discharging make graphene supercapacitor a replacement of traditional energy storage devices and sets trend for the future. This analytical comparative analysis presents an overview between four traditional batteries and graphene-based supercapacitor. For this regard, dynamic models, modeling equations, and an integrated simulation model for batteries and graphene-supercapacitors under MATLAB/Simulink® 2020a environment is developed. In addition, the effect of temperature on battery output and graphene-supercapacitor is also addressed.

Authors: Amilahaq Farikha
Published: November 2021

The study tried to help the Muslim investors and prospective Muslim investors deciding their investment plan in sharia firms, by seeking for the pattern of dividend policy which is the income sources of the Muslim investors. The data used are 33 companies listed in Sharia Stock List continuously for 9 periods, also consistent to distribute the dividend. As for the factors that probably can affect the dividend are cash position, debt to equity ratio, return on investment, and the institutional ownership. The study also used firm size as a control variable, and suspecting return on investment and institutional ownership as moderating variables for cash position and debt ratio in affecting the dividend policy. The result showed only institutional ownership can affect dividend policy directly, while cash position will be able to influence the policy by being moderated by the return on investment and institutional ownership. Therefore, the Muslim investor or prospective Muslim investors can consider more to the ownership structure of the firms before deciding their investment allocation. The study found out that the management along with the institutional shareholders as one of the major shareholders, has considering the shareholders’ rights as well. The policy taken is intended not only to keep the shareholders’ need of the return of their investment, but also to keep the Muslims’ shares of the firms still safe and stand on the good price.

Published: November 2021

The paper deals with the scope of the term syntactic paradigm with a view to the syntactic description in the framework of a normative grammar of Bulgarian. The overview of the content of the term as understood by different authors shows that the proposed definitions do not satisfy the requirement for an independent description of form and content adopted as a basic principle in normative grammar. The reason for this is that scholars take as a point of departure the lexeme, an idiomatic (individual) set of word forms with an identical and regularly differentiated semantic characteristics that enter into regular oppositions. The paper offers an entirely formal understanding of the term syntactic paradigm whose applicability in the syntactic component of normative grammar is illustrated with selected subparadigms that include formal sentence structures consisting of simple endocentric syntactic constructions with verbs, prepositions and nouns.
Keywords: syntactic paradigm, formal description, sentence structures, normative grammar, Bulgarian language

Livestock industry is one of the important pillars for country economy. Sperm sexing has the potential of significantly improving the quality and quantity of production in the livestock industries. Over years several attempts, involving several different parameters of sperm cells, have been made to develop an efficient sperm sorting procedure. Till date, the only commercially available method for bovine sperm is flow cytometry. The disadvantages associated with this approach, however, points towards the need for developing a more non-invasive and cost efficient approach for separation of X and Y chromosome bearing spermatozoa. In this review paper, we attempt to highlight all the previously developed approaches, as well as other emerging immunological and proteomics based methods that might have the potential of being developed as a promising breakthrough approach for semen sexing. Furthermore, we discuss the advantages and applications of semen sexing in India and around the world.
Thermodynamic Probability Analysis of the Effects of Rb on the Corrosion Susceptibility of Cr-Containing Steels for Nuclear Materials Canisters

Published: November 2021

Rubidium (Rb) generated from the β-decay of Kr-85 has been theorized to be corrosive toward steel, specifically in the storage of Kr-85 nuclear waste streams. In the present study, the phase equilibria of RbxCryOz with Rb in dry oxygen and water are investigated to understand a possible pathway to unusual deterioration of the corrosion resistance of canister steels in the presence of Rb. It was found that, in dry oxygen environments, the accumulation of Rb (more than 0.01 mol) can completely consume the Cr in 1 mol of AISI 4130 steel by forming α-Rb2CrO4 and Rb3CrO4 and prevent the formation of protective Cr2O3 scale. In aqueous environments, RbxCryOz are metastable species. In order to investigate their role, the probability of forming various oxides is invoked in order to avoid the all-or-nothing approach to oxide formation typical of E-pH diagram, which only predicts the most stable species dissolved, ionized, or solid ionized. Thus, the probability of forming RbxCryOz was considered and reported herein. It was found RbxCryOz can possess a larger than 7% probability of forming over Cr2O3 in the Rb-rich case and 15% in the Cr-rich case, indicating that it is expected to find a small amount of RbxCryOz in the thermodynamically formed reaction products. Even though Cr2O3 is more stable than RbxCryOz, the protective Cr2O3 scale is likely to have some vulnerability to Rb, leading to one possible route for the decline in the corrosion resistance of steel canisters in aqueous environments. Therefore, from a thermodynamic perspective, the current study supports the hypothesis that Rb can thermodynamically react with Cr in steels and can lead to the formation of RbxCryOz at certain potentials and pH levels, showing the Rb influence of steel corrosion cannot be discounted. The paper considers experimental mixed potential and pH levels observed and their relationship to thermodynamic probability. From this relative corrosion resistance can be assessed in a preliminary way in aqueous environments.

A IMPORTÂNCIA DA TERAPIA MEDICAMENTOSA COM DISSUFIRAM ASSOCIADO AO ALCOOLISMO – UMA REVISÃO DA LITERATURA
Authors: Figueira Bruna Gomes , Senna júnior Vicente Antonio de
Published: November 2021

O alcoolismo é considerada uma doença crônica muito analisada por pesquisadores e estudiosos por seus impactos negativos na vida das pessoas que dependem fisicamente e mentalmente do álcool, sendo motivado o seu consumo por vários fatores como genética, sociais, fatores psicológicos, fatores ambientais e condição de saúde. Porém nem todo consumo de álcool é considera alcoolismo. Para que seja considerado alcoolismo deve haver um consumo em excesso e compulsivo do álcool, que por sua vez prejudica a vida do indivíduo em seu meio social, familiar e profissional.

Diversos são os motivos para valorar uma empresa. No judiciário a valoração de uma empresa é apresentada como apuração de haveres e, geralmente, há conflito de interesses entre os sócios. Nesse desacordo, nasce a figura do perito contador com o propósito de suprir a falta de conhecimento especializado e fornecer subsídios ao juízo para a justa solução do litígio. No desenvolvimento do seu trabalho, o perito contador pode se deparar com circunstâncias que dificultam o seu trabalho. O presente artigo teve como objetivo identificar quais são as principais dificuldades encontradas pelo perito contador na apuração de haveres em processos judiciais. Utilizando uma pesquisa de caráter descritiva e qualitativa, os dados foram obtidos por meio de aplicação de questionário com 13 questões, enviados para 45 peritos contadores com atuação na cidade de São Paulo em apurações de haveres no âmbito do Poder Judiciário, no período de 06/11/2019 a 11/11/2019. Ao todo, foram recebidos 24 questionários respondidos. O estudo constatou que as principais dificuldades do perito contador na apuração de haveres em processos judiciais são: valoração do estoque, intangível e goodwill, bem como valorar todos os elementos patrimoniais quando presentes circunstâncias que dificultam o desenvolvimento do seu trabalho. Sendo tais circunstâncias: falta de escrituração contábil ou deficitária, ausência de documentos que dão suporte aos fatos contábeis, inexistência do balanço especial à época da resolução societária e a omissão de dados e/ou informações pelas partes envolvidas no litígio.
