Authors: Ilmi Malika Kautsar , Syaifuddin Mohammad , Susanti Reni Dwi , Ummah Siti Khoiruli
Published: May 2023

The research aims to analyze narratively critical thinking and communication skills using the Android-based TransGeo application on geometry transformation in junior high school. This study uses a qualitative with a descriptive method obtained from tests and interviews. The test contains contextual problems in the android application, while the interviews are based on student test answers. Then, test results are adjusted descriptively by presenting the achievement of each student to be categorized based on critical thinking and communication scoring. Next, one student was randomly selected from each category as the interview subject. The indicator of critical thinking skills is the most difficult to achieve in the fourth indicator. Students are less precise in writing conclusions related to the initial problem; the indicator that many students succeed is the first indicator where students have written what is known and asked in difficulties. The indicator of communication skills is the most difficult to achieve in the second indicator. Students did not describe or write mathematical sentences to present an explanation of the transformation type or final position area in the problem. Many students achieve the first indicator, where they have written what they know and are asked about.
An Extract-Transform-Load Process Design for the Incremental Loading of German Real-World Data Based on FHIR and OMOP CDM: Algorithm Development and Validation
Authors: Henke Elisa , Peng Yuan , Reinecke Ines , Zoch Michéle , Sedlmayr Martin , Bathelt Franziska
Published: May 2023

Background

In the Medical Informatics in Research and Care in University Medicine (MIRACUM) consortium, an IT-based clinical trial recruitment support system was developed based on the Observational Medical Outcomes Partnership (OMOP) Common Data Model (CDM). Currently, OMOP CDM is populated with German Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) using an Extract-Transform-Load (ETL) process, which was designed as a bulk load. However, the computational effort that comes with an everyday full load is not efficient for daily recruitment.

Objective

The aim of this study is to extend our existing ETL process with the option of incremental loading to efficiently support daily updated data.

Methods

Based on our existing bulk ETL process, we performed an analysis to determine the requirements of incremental loading. Furthermore, a literature review was conducted to identify adaptable approaches. Based on this, we implemented three methods to integrate incremental loading into our ETL process. Lastly, a test suite was defined to evaluate the incremental loading for data correctness and performance compared to bulk loading.

Results

The resulting ETL process supports bulk and incremental loading. Performance tests show that the incremental load took 87.5% less execution time than the bulk load (2.12 min compared to 17.07 min) related to changes of 1 day, while no data differences occurred in OMOP CDM.

Conclusions

Since incremental loading is more efficient than a daily bulk load and both loading options result in the same amount of data, we recommend using bulk load for an initial load and switching to incremental load for daily updates. The resulting incremental ETL logic can be applied internationally since it is not restricted to German FHIR profiles.

BACKGROUND

Depression is a debilitating mental health disorder, with a large treatment gap. Recent years have seen a surge in digital interventions to bridge this treatment gap. Most of these interventions are based on computerized cognitive behavioral therapy. Despite the efficacy of computerized cognitive behavioral therapy–based interventions, their uptake is low and dropout rates are high. Cognitive bias modification (CBM) paradigms provide a complementary approach to digital interventions for depression. However, interventions based on CBM paradigms have been reported to be repetitive and boring.

OBJECTIVE

In this paper, we described the conceptualization, design, and acceptability of serious games based on CBM paradigms and the learned helplessness paradigm.

METHODS

We searched the literature for CBM paradigms that were shown to be effective in reducing depressive symptoms. For each of the CBM paradigms, we ideated how to create a game so that the gameplay was engaging while the active therapeutic component remained unchanged.

RESULTS

We developed 5 serious games based on the CBM paradigms and the learned helplessness paradigm. The games include various core elements of gamification, such as goals, challenges, feedback, rewards, progress, and fun. Overall, the games received positive acceptability ratings from 15 users.

CONCLUSIONS

These games may help improve the effectiveness and engagement levels of computerized interventions for depression.
Cushing's Syndrome in Children: An Unchecked Consequence of Steroid Use by Quacks in Rural Areas of Pakistan (Preprint)
Authors: Abidi Syed Muhammad Aqeel
Published: May 2023

UNSTRUCTURED

The unchecked use of steroids by untrained practitioners, known as quacks, in rural areas of Pakistan has resulted in a surge of Cushing's Syndrome cases in children. This public health crisis requires urgent attention as it can cause growth retardation, delayed puberty, and cognitive impairment in children. The situation is further complicated by the lack of awareness among the local population about the dangers of steroid misuse, and the scarcity of medical facilities and qualified doctors in rural areas. To address this issue, a multi-pronged approach is required that involves raising awareness, strengthening regulatory mechanisms, and improving access to qualified medical professionals. This collaborative effort from all stakeholders can prevent further harm to children and promote their health and well-being.
Is Service with a Smile Enough to Satisfy Customers? Sincere and Insincere Smiles via Video and Vignette
Authors: Bakar Resekiani Mas , Ayu Fitriani , Nadjamuddin Lukman
Published: May 2023

The current service trend does not merely involve face-to-face interactions, including smiling (high-contact-service) by service employees, but also using methods such as texting (low-contact service). Sincere and insincere smile studies have used a method involving dynamic (videos) and static stimuli (photographs). However, research into the different types of smiles is still limited to methods using a vignette. This study aims to examine the effect of the type of smile on customer satisfaction using a vignette and video. A total of 139 people participated in 2 (smile: sincere versus insincere) x 2 (media: vignette versus video) groups. The study found that there is an influence from the type of smile on customer satisfaction. A sincere smile using video produces greater customer satisfaction than using a vignette does, because the emotional contagion process through video is more real than it is through a vignette. The interesting finding from this study is that there is a gap in the insincere smile condition between using video and a vignette. The dissatisfaction of customers is greater when served with an insincere smile by text (vignette), compared with a face-to-face interaction by video. Video could only capture the muscle movement on a person’s cheeks (zygomaticus major), but it could not see the muscle wrinkles formed around the eyes (orbicularis oculi), compared to a vignette. This study implies that although the standard operational procedure (SOP) for service demands friendliness, a customer can feel whether a server’s smile is genuine or fake. The customer’s dissatisfaction toward an insincere smile will be higher with a low-contact service using text than a high-contact service with video.
The Gambler’s Fallacy, the Halo Effect, and the Familiarity Effect Based on Risk Profile: Bullish and Bearish Market in Indonesia Stock Exchange
Authors: Mahadwartha Putu Anom , Ismiyanti Fitri , Zunairoh Zunairoh
Published: May 2023

This study tests three behavioral biases: the gambler’s fallacy, the halo effect, and the familiarity effect. The novelty is the behavioral bias in bullish and bearish markets, based on different investors’ risk profiles. The questionnaire used a Likert scale. This study argues that bullish and bearish markets, and different risk profiles, affect investors’ behavioral bias. The gambler’s fallacy occurs when markets are bullish and partially when markets are bearish. The halo effect without risk profile does not occur in either market, and the familiarity effect occurs in both markets. Investors with a very conservative risk profile will experience behavioral bias, especially the gambler’s fallacy and the familiarity effect, with bullish and bearish markets. Investors with a conservative risk profile will partially experience the halo effect in bullish markets.
La configuración del mercado global de la miel: un análisis de equivalencia estructural
Authors: Salazar Solano Vidal , Cabrera Pereyra José Antonio , Moreno Dena Jesús Mario , Rojas Rodríguez Isaac Shamir
Published: May 2023

Objetivo: definir el rol de los países participantes en la estructura del comercio mundial de miel, a partir de las capacidades de acceso al mercado global como ofertantes, consumidores y/o reexportadores.
Diseño metodológico: el análisis está soportado por un diseño de investigación cuantitativo de corte transversal y alcance descriptivo.  Se realizó un ejercicio de modelación por bloques para identificar grupos de comportamiento similar, en un contexto de relaciones de intercambio (centro-periferia), entre actores dominantes de la cadena y otros que gravitan alrededor del núcleo central. Se utilizaron datos binarios: 1 representa conexión o acceso al mercado y 0 la ausencia de intercambio.
Resultados: la modelación por bloques se confirma como herramienta analítica del rol de cada país competidor en un contexto de relaciones centro-periferia, en las que emergen posiciones centrales (poder de mercado, gobernabilidad), respecto al resto de agentes de la cadena. Como resultado de la modelación fue posible agrupar a los países en tres bloques: eje central, principales exportadores, mercados secundarios.
Hallazgos: la investigación aporta una síntesis de las estrategias de comercio global de miel: exportaciones desde los principales exportadores hacia mercados secundarios; exportaciones de principales exportadores hacia el eje central; exportaciones desde el eje central hacia mercados secundarios; exportaciones desde y hacia el eje central. 
Limitaciones de la investigación: la binarización de datos representa pérdida de información, sin embargo, no impide analizar la configuración del mercado global de miel.

Introducción: en la actualidad el uso de productos naturales son una opción en el tratamiento de diversas enfermedades, como bien podría ser la oleorresina de copaiba, que presenta propiedades que podrían ser usadas como un coadyuvante en el tratamiento de la periodontitis. Objetivo: determinar el efecto clínico y antibacteriano de la Copaifera reticulata (C. reticulata) «copaiba» como apoyo a la terapia periodontal no quirúrgica (TPNQ) en el tratamiento de la periodontitis en pacientes diabéticos tipo 2. Material y métodos: se identificaron 40 zonas homólogas con periodontitis en las hemiarcadas del maxilar superior o inferior de 20 pacientes diabéticos tipo 2, registrándose las variables clínicas: profundidad al sondaje (PS), nivel de inserción clínica (NIC), sangrado al sondaje (SS) y color de encía (CE); también se tomaron muestras de biofilm subgingival y de sangre, para el recuento bacteriano y la determinación de la hemoglobina glucosilada (HbA1c), respectivamente. Se evaluaron dos zonas homólogas por paciente, formando un grupo control de 20 zonas con periodontitis, el cual recibió TPNQ más clorhexidina y un grupo de estudio de 20 zonas con periodontitis que recibió TPNQ más C. reticulata. Los valores obtenidos fueron procesados mediante las pruebas estadísticas de Wilcoxon y Fisher. Resulta- dos: la PS tuvo una diferencia de la comparación entre los grupos control y estudio de los antes y después de 2.0 ± 0.79 mm y 2.05 ± 0.89 mm, respectivamente. Para el NIC los valores de la diferencia de comparación entre los grupos control y estudio fue de 2.35 ± 0.93 mm y 2.05 ± 0.58 mm, respectivamente, no encontrando diferencias estadísticas significativas en ambos indicadores (p > 0.05). El SS se redujo en 95 y 90% en el grupo control y de estudio. En relación al recuento bacteriano este mostró reducción en ambos grupos, observándose que el grupo de estudio tuvo una menor cantidad de unidades formadoras de colonias (UFC), no encontrando diferencias estadísticas significativas (p > 0.05). Conclusiones: la C. reticulata como apoyo a la TPNQ tuvo un similar comportamiento que la clorhexidina, obteniéndose efectos similares en los indicado- res clínicos y microbiológicos.

El objetivo de este trabajo fue evaluar pH y resistencia a la compresión con relación al tiempo de fraguado de tres cementos de obturación retrógrada. Como controles se emplearon los cementos de sellado radicular MTA-Angelus® (MBA) y MTA Viarden® (MV), este último de origen mexicano y uno experimental (CE). Las pruebas a realizar fueron SEM-EDS, difracción de rayos X, pH, tiempo de fraguado y resistencia a la compresión a distintos tiempos de endurecimiento (un día, siete días y 28 días). Obteniéndose como resultado que en los tres cementos se encuentra presente la fase de silicato tricálcico (Ca3SiO5), pero con ausencia de otras fases y presencia de elementos traza en MV. Los valores más altos en pH a un día de iniciada la reacción se mostraron por los cementos MV y CE. A los 28 días se estabilizó el pH de MBA y CE, quedando por debajo de ellos el MV. Sucediendo algo similar en la prueba de resistencia a la compresión, en donde CE obtuvo los valores más altos a los distintos tiempos de endurecimiento (un día-23.5 MPa, siete días-36.5 MPa y 28 días-36.7 MPa) y el más bajo fue MV (un día-14.7 MPa, siete días-17 MPa y 28 días-19.5 MPa). Así como también en tiempo de fraguado, en donde el tiempo más corto registrado fue el de CE y el más largo fue MV. El MBA se mantuvo con valores intermedios en todas las pruebas. Llegando a la conclusión de que los bajos resultados mostrados por MV son debido a la presencia de elementos traza ajenos a su composición principal y posiblemente a la poca formación de portlandita y silicato de calcio hidratado (CSH) en el MV. Cabe señalar que hasta el momento CE es un buen candidato para competir con otros cementos MTA comerciales.
Manejo de segundos molares maxilares con dos raíces palatinas: reporte de dos casos
Authors: Lozano Gonzáles Oscar , Salas Orozco Marco Felipe , Castillo Silva Brenda Eréndira , Casillas Santana Miguel Ángel
Published: May 2023

Introducción: el objetivo de estos reportes de casos es mostrar la importancia de tener siempre en mente las posibles variaciones anatómicas presentes en los órganos dentales que necesitan tratamiento del conducto radicular. A pesar de los estudios dedicados a informar la prevalencia de estas variaciones anatómicas, las variaciones en el número de raíces palatinas de los molares maxilares rara vez se tienen en cuenta debido a su incidencia extremadamente baja. Material y métodos: este reporte presenta dos casos clínicos en los que se hay molares maxilares con raíces palatales adicionales. El primer caso fue una mujer de 41 años, sin datos patológicos aparentes, que presentó una cavidad de acceso previa, pero sin signos radiográficos de patología periapical. El sondaje periodontal fue normal. El diagnóstico pulpar fue de terapia pulpar previamente iniciada y el diagnóstico periapical fue de tejidos periapicales sanos. Durante la inspección del piso de la cámara pulpar el conducto palatino se localizó más distalmente de lo normal, y eso hizo sospechar al operador de la presencia de un conducto radicular adicional. Se amplió ligeramente la cavidad de acceso en sentido mesiopalatino, lo cual dio como resultado la localización de un segundo conducto palatino en una raíz palatina extra. El segundo caso fue una mujer de 28 años de edad con antecedentes médicos no contributivos, se presentó con dolor a los cambios térmicos en el segundo molar maxilar derecho. El diagnóstico pulpar fue pulpitis irreversible sintomática y el diagnóstico periapical fue de periodontitis apical sintomática. La cavidad de acceso tenía un diseño cuadrangular y se ubicaron cuatro conductos radiculares, de los cuales un conducto correspondía a un segundo conducto radicular palatino en su propia raíz palatina. Después de la localización de las raíces palatinas extras en estos dos casos, ambos pudieron ser negociados, instrumentados y obturados. Resultados: durante el tratamiento del conducto radicular se identificaron los tipos I y II del sistema de clasificación de raíces palatinas propuesto por Chritie y colaboradores para los molares maxilares. Conclusiones: es importante tener en cuenta estas variaciones anatómicas en el número y la forma de las raíces palatinas de molares maxilares. Aunque su prevalencia puede considerarse extremadamente baja, en una práctica endodóntica diaria se pueden encontrar este tipo de casos complejos.

Published: May 2023

Introducción: la erosión dental es la pérdida irreversible de estructura dentaria debido a un proceso químico, sin presencia de bacterias, causada por la acción de ácidos que pueden ser de origen extrínseco, intrínseco o ambos. Algunos de los signos de la erosión dental incluyen facetas planas y suaves en las superficies palatinas y vestibulares, así como concavidades superficiales en las caras oclusales. Una causa intrínseca es la presencia de ácido por reflujo gastroesofágico, las causas extrínsecas tienen que ver con la alta ingesta de alimentos ácidos. La enfermedad por reflujo gastroesofágico (ERGE) se ha asociado con problemas dentales como erosión, halitosis, patología de la mucosa y bruxismo. Se pueden encontrar distintos procedimientos para la rehabilitación oral de pacientes con ERGE, entre los cuales se encuentran los procedimientos adhesivos que preservan mayor cantidad de estructura dental sana. Objetivo: realizar el reporte de caso de un paciente con erosión dental causada por ERGE. Presentación del caso: paciente masculino de 32 años de edad que acudió a la clínica de la especialidad de prostodoncia; en el examen intraoral se observaron atriciones por bruxismo y erosiones generalizadas causadas por reflujo gastrointestinal. La restauración de la erosión dental debe basarse en un método conservador y mínimamente invasivo. La técnica de tres pasos que se utilizó para la rehabilitación completa, de acuerdo a la técnica de Francesca Vailati, Urs Cristoph Belser, está estructurada para lograr una rehabilitación adhesiva completa con resultados predecibles y una mínima cantidad de preparación dental. Conclusiones: la terapia restauradora de la erosión dental debe basarse en un método mínimamente invasivo. La enfermedad por reflujo gastroesofágico se ha asociado con problemas dentales como erosión dental, halitosis, patología de la mucosa y bruxismo. Por lo general, los pacientes con ERGE refieren manifestaciones orales de la enfermedad, lo que revela la importancia del tratamiento multidisciplinario y el seguimiento de estos pacientes.

Authors: Flores-Reyna Luis Alonso , Martínez-Hernández Miryam
Published: May 2023

Introducción: esta revisión de la literatura examina los cambios en el proteoma salival relacionados con la presencia de periodontitis que pueden ser utilizados para el diagnóstico y seguimiento de la enfermedad, esto es posible debido a que la saliva total contiene una variedad de mediadores locales derivados de las respuestas microbianas y del huésped, así como marcadores sistémicos (plasma) que pueden ser útiles en el diagnóstico periodontal. Objetivo: documentar los cambios reportados en el proteoma salival asociados con la presencia de periodontitis con potencial para ser utilizados en el diagnóstico y monitoreo de la enfermedad. Material y métodos: las bases de datos PubMed, SpringerLink, Google Académico, WILEY y ScienceDirect fueron consultadas utilizando los términos de búsqueda "salivary proteome AND salivary diagnosis; salivary protein profile AND periodontal disease AND periodontitis" con el fin de identificar publicaciones que reportaran cambios en el perfil proteico salival de sujetos diagnosticados con periodontitis. Se incluyeron artículos de revisión, artículos originales publicados en revistas indexadas y documentos de consenso en los idiomas inglés y español. Resultados: proteínas salivales como α-amilasa, cistatina-C y mucina-5B fueron reportadas como aumentadas por algunos autores, mientras que proteínas como cistatina-SN, lactoperoxidasa y mucina-7 fueron reportadas como disminuidas cuando se comparó el proteoma salival de sujetos sistémicamente sanos con periodontitis contra sujetos sin periodontitis. Estos resultados confirman la existencia de cambios en el proteoma salival asociados con la presencia de periodontitis. Conclusiones: los cambios en el proteoma salival asociados con la presencia de periodontitis identificados en la presente revisión de la literatura requieren ser investigados a mayor profundidad debido a su potencial para ser utilizados en el diagnóstico y monitoreo de la periodontitis.

Abstract: The design of a robot face plate is critical to its overall performance and efficiency. Different types of materials are used for the construction of the face plate, and this paper examines the behaviour of three widely used metals: Stainless Steel, Mild Steel, and Structural Steel. The study focuses on understanding the Von Mises stresses, strains, total displacement, and reaction forces when loads are applied to the face plate. These parameters are critical in designing the face plate to ensure that it can withstand the loads it is expected to handle without failing or deforming. By studying the actual values of stresses, strains, and displacement, designers can modify the design to achieve optimum values of these parameters. This, in turn, can help to ensure that the robot face plate performs efficiently and safely. The use of appropriate materials for the face plate is critical to achieving the desired performance levels.

This project targets to propose a system, which detects speeding vehicles over a specific speed limit and immediately report to concerned authorities. At present, road accidents rates have raised so, there is a necessity for developing a system that detects an over speeding vehicle. The implementation of present Smart Vehicle over speeding Detector using Internet of Things determines all the road traffic information automatically with intelligence. When the vehicle crosses the school/college, RF receiver in the vehicle will send signalto the microcontroller. The microcontroller immediatelycontrols the driver section to control the speed of the motor.Therefore when the vehicle crosses the school/College, the speed of the vehicle will be automatically decreased. This will prevent unnecessary accidents.

Diseases of the teeth and oral cavity are one of the health problems that many people experience. This is very inversely proportional to the needs of everyone who wants to have a healthy mouth and teeth. Lack of awareness to maintain oral and dental health is still low. Many people think that brushing your teeth is enough, even though this activity is not enough to maintain healthy teeth and oral cavity. When diagnosing doctors often do X-rays. Therefore, doctors need a system to diagnose diseases of the teeth and oral cavity, where the system used uses a Dempster Shafer method where the accuracy of this method has been proven to be 93%.
SEXUAL-VIOLENCE OFFENSES IN INDONESIA: ANALYSIS OF THE CRIMINAL POLICY IN THE LAW NUMBER 12 OF 2022
Authors: Santoso Topo , Satria Hariman
Published: May 2023

In 2022, Indonesia enacted the Law on Sexual Violence Offenses. The Law criminalizes ten acts of sexual violence and categorizes them as criminal offenses. The Law aims to prevent criminal offenses of sexual violence through deterrence, coordination, and monitoring by central and regional law enforcement agencies. The Law adopts both sanctions and treatment in the matter of criminal sanctions. The Law distinguishes types of punishment based on principal and additional penalties, including against corporations. Based on the severity of the penalty, the Law includes indefinite and definite sentences. However, the Law remains weak on restitution that should be action sanctions rather than criminal sanctions and lack of corporate criminal liability regulation. The severity of the penalty that was adopted by the Law should be in the form of indefinite sentences to provide the maximum deterrent effect. In addition, there is a lack of synchronization between the Law and other laws, including the Laws on Human Trafficking, Pornography, and the Elimination of Domestic Violence.

Published: May 2023

The idea of the implementation of fast-track legislation in Indonesia has been widely discussed lately. It is triggered by the absence of definitive provisions regarding the period for the formation of law. This study examined concept and mechanism of fast-track legislation in some states; and compared them to Indonesia. It projected the idea of implementing fast-track legislation in Indonesia. The study used conceptual and comparative methods related to the mechanism of fast-track legislation. The analysis was performed qualitatively to produce conclusions related to the implementation of fast-track legislation in Indonesia. There are various methods of fast-track legislation around the world based on regulatory features, indicators, bill proposers, subjects, legalizations, and supervisions over the law generated from the fast-track legislation. Sometimes, law is generated quickly, and, on other occasions, it takes a long time, regardless of the material content, the urgency, and the implications. Indonesia needs clear benchmarks for law process completion. Unfortunately, the idea cannot be implemented immediately because a fast-track legislation mechanism must go together with an in-depth study, which covers several substantial changes in the Indonesian legal system in terms of law, institutions, and supporting instruments.

The objective of this study was to assess the volume of consumption of anti-interleukins and janus kinase inhibitors in the period 2018–2021, used as well as preventive pathogenetic therapy of COVID-19.

Materials and methods. Based on actual sales data in the segments of public procurement (including regional and federal preferential drug provision) and retail sales segment in the period 2018–2021, obtained from the IQVIA database. All data was recalculated into the number of established daily doses (DDDs), with the calculation of pharmacoepidemiological indicators «Incidence of prescribing drugs», «Cumulative risk of prescribing drugs», as well as «Prescribing prevalence per year» for tocilizumab, olokizumab, levilimab, sarilumab, kanakinumab, anakinra, baricitinib, tofacitinib and upadacitinib.

Results and discussion. The growth of total sales volumes was demonstrated in all market segments, but mostly in the segment of regional purchases, primarily related to the purchase of these groups of medicines for COVID-19 therapy in the period 2020–2021. It was demonstrated that the increase in the number of cases, accompanied by the expansion of prescribing preventive pathogenetic therapy, led to a twofold increase in the number of new cases of prescribing of janus kinase inhibitors and an increase in this indicator for anti-interleukins by 1.5 times, taking into account the estimated number of patients with moderate and severe COVID-19. The cumulative risk of prescribing these classes of drugs increased proportionally: for JAK inhibitors from 14 to 32%, and for anti-IL drugs from 38 to 69%. Calculations showed that the proportion of people over 18 years of age in the Russian Federation who received at least one dose of janus kinase inhibitors and anti-interleukins increased many times, in 1000 times and 500 times.

Conclusions. Taking into account the expansion of the use of these groups of medicines, careful monitoring of information about their safety is required.

The issues of diagnosis and treatment of nervous system damage in the new coronavirus infection (COVID-19) remain relevant, regardless of information and experience in treating such patients, accumulated nowadays. The review contains updated data on the ways of SARS-CoV-2 invasion, examines mechanisms of central nervous system damage: direct virus-induced damage, immune dysfunction, excessive thrombo-inflammation, coagulation disorder, cytokine and metabolic imbalance, hypoxia, etc.; it presents clinical examples with one variant of damage — the development of Guillain-Barre syndrome that, to some extent, allows to confirm the virus neurotropism. Doctors’ knowledge about this infection is constantly expanding, new information appears on its various neuropsychiatric effects during an acute period and post-COVID syndrome, on symptoms, treatment and prevention strategy. These data enables to understand better the reasons for developing the main clinical manifestations, from a headache or myalgia to more severe symptoms, such as a stroke, psychosis and anosmia, severity and reversibility of their course. Although several hypothesis of CNS damage pathogenesis in COVID-19 are being discussed, the unified pathophysiological mechanism of many dysfunctions remains unclear, and, probably, additional factors, such as social isolation during a pandemic, presence and treatment in the intensive care unit, premorbid somatic status of a patient, contribute to the development of some registered nervous system disorders.

Do foreign direct investment, trade and their interactions affect economic growth in Indonesia?
Authors: Millia Heppi , Ernawati Ernawati , Heriberta Heriberta
Published: May 2023

This study examines the direct and indirect impacts of foreign direct investment, exports, and imports on Indonesia's long-term and short-term economic growth. To this end, we used quarterly data for 2005.1â€“2021.4 sourced from Statistics Indonesia, the Bank of Indonesia, and the Bank of St. Louis. The analytical tools employed were the autoregressive model of the lag distribution (ARDL) and the error correction model (ECM-ARDL). Findings showed that foreign direct investment, exports, and imports directly affected Indonesia's economic growth. However, while the two formers had an impact only in the short run, the latter also did so in the long run. In addition, foreign direct investment also indirectly influenced economic growth through exports in the short and long run, whereas this was not the case with imports. Based on these findings, we argue for policy recommendations. To begin with, the government should encourage foreign direct investment, which may gradually replace imported raw materials with local raw resources, thereby creating an upstream connection while slowing the rate of imports. Furthermore, the government needs to adopt a policy of downstream processing of primary commodities into industrial commodities to increase export value and expand employment opportunities.

Mais que e para-além do racismo: meditações teóricas e políticas sobre antinegritude
Authors: Jung Moon-Kie , Vargas João H. Costa
Published: May 2023

Este artigo tece considerações sobre antinegritude e a distingue do racismo, expondo a falsa universalidade do Social e do Humano:  o racismo ocorre no Social entre os Humanos, enquanto a antinegritude continuamente expulsa os negros e a negritude dessas categorias modernas fundamentais cujas definições derivam da expulsão violenta. Para delinear a discussão, o artigo analisa dois textos paradigmáticos que se esforçam para lidar intransigentemente com a antinegritude, mas através da linguagem do racismo: George Yancey, Who Is White? e "The Combahee River Collective Statement." O artigo conclui sugerindo a necessidade de um salto de invenção fanoniano e uma abrangente abolição.
Infâncias afrofuturistas, cabelo crespo e sankofa: a estética como estratégia de resistência
Authors: Chaveiro Maylla Monnik Rodrigues de Sousa
Published: May 2023

O objetivo deste artigo é refletir acerca da valorização dos cabelos crespos em crianças enquanto resistência estético-política a partir das relações entre os conceitos de infância, afrofuturismo, cabelo crespo e sankofa. O artigo se fundamenta epistemologicamente em algumas perspectivas teóricas interdisciplinares e afrocentradas; e a metodologia se baseou na observação participante em marchas e encontros de valorização da estética negra entre 2014 e 2019 em nove capitais do Brasil. Com base neste arcabouço teórico-metodológico, a infância foi situada como ponto de partida para se pensar as relações étnico-raciais em diáspora, a fim de vislumbrar novas produções epistemológicas, estéticas e políticas que se distanciem das elaborações subjetivas coloniais. Abrindo caminhos e possibilidades, reconectar-se com o passado sustentado por memórias, histórias e estéticas da cultura africana é também ter a condição de alterar o futuro. Sendo assim, este pensamento pode conduzir à construção de possíveis roteiros para reparação social e convergência de práticas alicerçadas por valores e sentidos estéticos africanos.
Escurecimentos literários: autoria de ancestralidade negra na fundação da literatura infantil brasileira
Authors: Cardoso Elizabeth
Published: May 2023

O artigo tem como objetivo recolocar a literatura infantil produzida por autoras e autores afro-brasileiros na história crítica da literatura infantil brasileira, com vistas a reescrever essa trajetória e colaborar com a formação de leitores de literatura com bases antirracistas e tecida na afropoética. Neste texto enfoco prioritariamente Gonçalves Crespo (1846-1883) e sua obra Contos para nossos filhos (1896), mas amplio o debate para outros autores afrodescendentes como João do Rio (1881-1921), Ildelfonso Juvenal (1894-1965) e Mestre Didi (1917-2013) e a autora Ruth Guimarães (1920-2014) como precursores e integrantes da fundação da literatura infantil e juvenil brasileira.
Ensaio aberto sobre modernismo e antinegritude
Authors: Silva Jorge Augusto de Jesus
Published: May 2023

A ideia de apresentar esse texto como um ensaio aberto visa tanto reforçar seu aspecto especulativo, como seu aspecto inconcluso. Nossa ideia é apontar a antinegritude como modo organizador dos mitos fundacionais do Brasil, buscando sugerir que há uma indissociabilidade entre o mito da democracia racial e os mitos de fundação. Para isso apontamos como origem do mito da democracia racial o romance Iracema de Alencar, e não as cenas modernistas que, para nós, atualizam os mitos, mas não os fundam. Para tanto, vamos discutir questões ligadas ao problema da dependência cultural e da produção da identidade nacional no modernismo brasileiro, buscando conectá-los brevemente com a produção de uma nacionalidade ligada a antinegritude.

Background: Central nervous system (CNS) tumors are the most
common solid malignancies in children worldwide, including in Armenia.
The current study aims to analyze epidemiological data, treatment, and
outcomes of children and young adults (≤25 years) with CNS tumors in
Armenia during the last 26 years. Methods: We collected data
from pediatric and young adult patients treated in selected sites in
Armenia from 1 January 1995 to 31
December 2020. Incidence by sex, age at diagnosis,
time from first complaints to diagnosis, histopathology results,
treatment strategies, complications, and overall survival (OS) rates
were calculated. Results: The multicenter data analysis
revealed 149 patients with diagnosed primary CNS tumors over 26 years.
Among them, 84 (56.4%) were male. The median age at diagnosis was 7
years (range, 3 months to 25 years), and the median time from the first
complaints to diagnosis was 2 months (range, 1 week to 70 months).
Medulloblastomas and other embryonal tumors (47), low-grade gliomas
(32), and high-grade gliomas (22) were the most commonly diagnosed
malignancies. Ependymomas, craniopharyngiomas, germ cell tumors, and
other malignancies were observed in 22 patients. For 26 patients, no
histopathological or radiological diagnosis was available. Follow-up
information was available for 98 (65.8%) patients. The 5-year OS rate
for the whole study group was 67.7%. Conclusion: Consistent
with international data, embryonal tumors, and gliomas were the most
commonly diagnosed CNS malignancies in Armenia. Multimodal treatment was
often not available in Armenia during the study period, especially for
early cases.
