Authors: Santos Nara Cristina
Published: December 2020

Este artigo apresenta quatro exposições de Arte e Tecnologia no Brasil, para analisar suas estratégias curatoriais como contribuição ao campo da Arte Contemporânea. As estratégias em arte eletrônica, digital e computacional são inicialmente discutidas a partir dos argumentos curatoriais nos respectivos catálogos. A abordagem do contexto específico de cada exposição aponta os desafios que a Arte e Tecnologia, também a Ciência, seguem impondo nas mostras organizadas por pesquisadores de Instituições de Ensino Superior (IES), nos seus museus, galerias ou salas de exposição. Entre os desafios está, em uma perspectiva metodológica, compartilhar mais detalhadamente a estratégia curatorial de uma das exposições cujo argumento está focado na concepção de transdisciplinaridade. AbstractThis article focuses on four Art and Technology exhibitions in Brazil, to analy-ze their curatorial strategies as a contribution to the field of Contemporary Art. Strategies in electronic, digital and computational art are initially discussed ba-sed on curatorial arguments on the respective catalogs. The approach of a specific curatorial context, points to the challenges that Art and Technology, also Scien-ce, follow to impose in exhibitions organized by researchers from higher educa-tion institutions, in their museums, galleries or room exhibitions. Among the chal-lenges is, in a methodological perspective, to share in more detail the curatorial strategy of an exhibition whose argument is in the transdisciplinary conception.

Authors: Alves Cauê
Published: December 2020

O artigo se propõe a refletir sobre o acervo de obras-projeto, construído entre 2016 e 2020, no Museu Brasileiro da Escultura e Ecologia. Mais do que apenas abrigar obras no sentido tradicional, o MuBE guarda registros e documentação para futuras remontagens. O museu passou a colecionar proposições artísticas, projetos e ideias. Isso traz implicações para a curadoria, relações distintas com o espaço museológico e outras concepções de conservação de obras. A partir de elementos da história da instituição, o texto discute alguns dos trabalhos que integram esse novo acervo.AbstractThis paper aims to reflect on the collection at Brazilian Museum of Sculpture and Ecology (MuBE) consisting of artwork projects, acquired between 2016 and 2020. Besides being the home for the art works, MuBE has kept records and documentation for the assemblage of future exhibitions. The museum has been collecting artists proposals, projects and ideias. This implies changes for affects the curatorship, the relationship with the museum as a space and other concepts regarding artwork conservation. Based on elements about the institution's history, the text discusses some of the artworks that integrate this new collection.
A memória afrodescendente nos museus brasileiros: o caso do Museu Mariano Procópio
Authors: Christo Maraliz De Castro Vieira
Published: December 2020

O Museu Mariano Procópio originou-se de uma coleção particular, formada entre os séculos XIX e XX, por Alfredo Ferreira Lage, e doada por este ao município de Juiz de Fora. Ao identificarmos representações de afrodescendentes no acervo, nos interrogamos sobre sua procedência. Pode-se agrupá-las em três categorias: as adquiridas pela instituição, reforçando um discurso conservador; aquelas doadas pelos  próprios artistas difundindo seus trabalhos; e, a maioria, as que receberam o prêmio aquisitivo da prefeitura, quando expostas no Salão da Sociedade de Belas Artes Antônio Parreiras, entre os anos de 1950 a 1980, e foram alocadas no museu, rompendo antigos cânones.
O parangolé e a dança dos olhares
Authors: Stigger Veronica
Published: December 2020

Neste artigo, parte-se da análise detalhada de uma fotografia de Hélio Oiticica feita pelo antropólogo Eduardo Viveiros de Castro durante as filmagens do documentário H.O., de Ivan Cardoso, em que há, à primeira vista, uma nítida diferença entre a cena do filme de Cardoso e a fotografia de Eduardo Viveiros de Castro. É pela integração da comunidade e do entorno que esta se distancia daquela. Enquanto Ivan Cardoso centra-se na figura de Oiticica (não por acaso, os títulos de seus curtas derivam do nome do artista) ou nas daqueles que vestem os parangolés, chamando a atenção para a “interiorização da experiência” – para tomarmos emprestada uma formulação de Guy Brett –, Viveiros de Castro preocupa-se em colocar o artista em relação, enfatizando, em certo sentido, a “exteriorização da experiência”.AbstractIn this article, we analyse a photograph of Hélio Oiticica taken by the anthropologist Eduardo Viveiros de Castro during the filming of Ivan Cardoso’s documentary about Oiticica. In this photograph, on first sight, the scene from Ivan Cardoso's film is quite unlike Viveiros de Castro's photograph in that the former integrates with community and environment whereas the photo does not. While Cardoso focuses on Oiticica himself (it was no coincidence that titles of his short films came from the latter's name) or on people wearing parangolés, as a way to draw attention to the “internalization of experience” – to borrow a formulation from Guy Brett –, Viveiros de Castro aims to place the artist in this relation and in a certain sense underscores the “externalization of experience”.
Safety of a continuous glucose monitoring device during hyperbaric exposure
Authors: Bliss Chae , Huang Enoch , Savaser Davut ,   Legacy Emanuel Hyperbaric Medicine, Portland, Oregon U.S.
Published: December 2020

Background: Hyperbaric oxygen therapy has been demonstrated to lower blood glucose levels in patients with diabetes. Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) allows glucose monitoring in real time. Battery-operated CGM transmitters have yet to be formally tested and given safety approval for use in a hyperbaric environment. Materials and Methods: We evaluated and tested commercially available Dexcom. G6 CGM transmitters under hyperbaric conditions. Each transmitter contains a 3V, 130-mAh (0.39 Wh) lithium manganese dioxide battery (IEC CR1632) and circuit board that are fully encapsulated in epoxy. Each transmitter is pressurized to 90 pounds per square inch (psi) in an autoclave at 40ÅãC for up to 72 hours during manufacturing to ensure that all enclosed air spaces are eliminated from the epoxy. We compared the CGM components against section 14.2.9.3.17.5 of the 2018 National Fire Protection Association 99 (NFPA 99) Health Care Facilities Code requirements. Six CGM transmitters attached to estimated glucose value generators (EGVGs) underwent 11 pressurization cycles to 45 feet of seawater (fsw). All transmitters were returned to the manufacturer to assess post-exposure structural integrity. G6 sensors, which contain no electrical components or compressible air spaces, do not pose a risk in the hyperbaric environment. Results: There was no observed change in preset EGVG readings during hyperbaric exposures. Post-exposure testing revealed no structural compromise after repeated hyperbaric exposures. Conclusions: The CGM transmitter meets section 14.2.9.3.17.5 of the 2018 NFPA 99 requirements for battery-operated devices allowed for use in a hyperbaric environment. This analysis revealed no significant safety concerns with subjecting Dexcom G6 CGM transmitters to hyperbaric environments.

Objective: To describe the structural sequelae of carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning on the heart assessed using stress cardiac MRI (CMR). CO poisoning is common. While acute cardiac injury is frequent among survivors, the mid- and long-term effects of CO on the myocardium are unclear. Methods: CMR studies performed between the years 2005 and 2014 for a primary diagnosis of CO poisoning at a tertiary care center were reviewed by an experienced cardiologist. Variables of interest were compared between patients with normal and abnormal studies to identify factors associated with cardiac dysfunction. Results: Eighty-eight patients underwent stress CMR, age 34 years (range 11-70); 49% were male, 74 had acute poisoning and 14 had chronic poisoning (CO exposure for longer than 24 hours). Time from CO poisoning to imaging was 24 months (1day-120 months). Patients were stratified into four categories, which included those with acute poisoning imaged: • ≤12 months; • 12-60 months; • >60 months from the event; and • those with chronic poisoning. Overall, 26 studies (30%) were abnormal. The most common findings were: left ventricular systolic dysfunction in 14 patients, right ventricular systolic dysfunction in nine, and LV dilatation in six. Abnormalities were mild in most cases and were equally prevalent in all four patient categories. Dyspnea at the time of follow-up was more frequent among those with abnormal studies. Conclusions: Mild alterations in ventricular structure and function are frequent in survivors of CO poisoning. Myocardial scarring is rare, suggesting that acute hypoxic injury may not fully explain these abnormalities.

COVID-19 and the Generation of Novel Scientific Knowledge in a Dangerous Time.
Authors: Perillat Lucie , Baigrie Brian
Published: December 2020

Rationale, Aims and Objectives: One of the sectors challenged by the
COVID-19 pandemic is medical research. COVID-19 originates from a novel
coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) and the scientific community is faced with the
daunting task of creating a novel model for this pandemic or, in other
words, creating novel science. This paper aims to explore the intricate
relationship between the different challenges that have hindered
biomedical research and the generation of scientific knowledge during
the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: During the early stages of the pandemic,
research conducted on hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) was chaotic and sparked
several heated debates with respect to the scientific methods used and
the quality of knowledge generated. Research on HCQ is used as a case
study in this paper. The authors explored biomedical databases,
peer-reviewed journals, pre-print servers and media articles to identify
relevant literature on HCQ and COVID-19, and examined philosophical
perspectives on medical research in the context of this pandemic and
previous global health challenges. Results: This paper demonstrates that
a lack of prioritization among research questions and therapeutics was
responsible for the duplication of clinical trials and the dispersion of
precious resources. Study designs, aimed at minimizing biases and
increasing objectivity, were, instead, the subject of fruitless
oppositions. These two issues combined resulted in the generation of
fleeting and inconsistent evidence that complicated the development of
public health guidelines. The reporting of scientific findings
highlighted the difficulty of finding a balance between accuracy and
speed. Conclusions: The COVID-19 pandemic presented challenges in terms
of (1) finding and prioritizing relevant research questions, (2)
choosing study designs that are appropriate for a time of emergency, (3)
evaluating evidence for the purpose of making evidence-based decisions
and (4) sharing scientific findings with the rest of the scientific
community. This paper demonstrates that these challenges have often
compounded each other.
Strategic stability and the possibilities of China's involvement in the strategic arms control negotiations
Authors: Kostic Marina
Published: December 2020

Th? paper focuses on the research of general possibilities and limitations of
the multilateralization of the strategic arms control negotiations and
particularly the inclusion of China in these negotiations because, during
2019 and 2020, the US conditioned the extension of the New START Treaty with
China?s involvement in the trilateral strategic arms control negotiations.
By doing so, the US recognised China as an important factor influencing the
maintenance of strategic stability and possibilities for further reduction
of strategic arms. The main hypothesis is the claim that the limitations
still overcome the possibilities regarding the multilateralization of the
strategic arms control negotiation, and that the prospects of involving
China in this kind of negotiation remain minimal. This hypothesis was tested
through theoretical deliberation based on the notion of strategic stability,
and its transformation during the Cold War until today, as well as on four
indicators or preconditions of China?s involvement in the strategic arms
control, which are: 1) quantitative reduction of the number of nuclear arms
of the US and Russia to China?s level; 2) decrease of the role of nuclear
weapons in the national security and defense strategies of the great powers;
3) decrease of the role of nuclear weapons as the status symbol of the great
power or superpower and 4) conclusion of the multilateral international
agreement (not trilateral) on limitations on the use of nuclear weapons. The
author uses the methods of content and discourse analysis, as well as the
comparative method. The author concludes that the absence of the intention
of the US and Russia to further reduce their strategic arms and decrease the
role of nuclear weapons in their security and defense strategies, as well as
the absence of consent on which parties or actors should be included in the
arms control talks and China?s general suspicion about the effectiveness of
the arms control agreements, influence China not to take part on any
strategic arms control talks at this moment.
Support for the measures in fighting the COVID-19 pandemic: The role of political ideology
Authors: Pavlovic Zoran , Todosijevic Bojan , Stanojevic Dragan
Published: December 2020

There is growing research evidence that political ideology is an important determinant of complying with the rules and recommendations aimed at fighting the coronavirus. This paper analyses the role of the left-right ideology self-positioning in supporting the government measures in fighting the COVID?19 pandemic and practicing the physical distancing guidelines in Serbia. The study was conducted online on a sample of 656 respondents. Two hierarchical multiple regression models with age, the COVID?19 experience, the perception of risk posed by the coronavirus, and political ideology predicting: (1) policy support and (2) physical distancing were tested. The results show that policy support was predicted by increasing risk perception and the right-leaning ideology. Risk perception predicted physical distancing practices, and so did age and the COVID?19 experience. The results also indicate that the relationship between risk perception and both policy support and physical distancing is moderated by political ideology. Perceiving the ongoing pandemic as a greater threat is related to higher policy support and physical distancing among the right-leaning persons only. They seem especially sensitive to the perceived threat.
Sublime in the works of Djura Jaksic
Authors: Pajin Dusan
Published: December 2020

Some artists related to romanticism - like Djura Jaksic - were able to create
a number of valuable works, in spite of the unfavourable environment - not
being welcome, or being ignored - in spite of personal handicaps, as being
poor, or sick - they would continue to create until their last days, without
compromising. So, on one side we see their vulnerability and being subject
to strong emotions, and on the other side an ironlike creative
determination, ready to sacrifice the person, and its physical and emotinal
wellbeing, if that is the price for creating sublime and majestic art-works.
His works - poetry, as well as paintings - confirm a strong creative will -
a will to create and articulate his work at any cost, and even at the cost
of life, readiness of the artist to sacrifice himself for sublime art. In
Romanticism, sublime permeates artists? personality, and mirrors in his
creative impulse, and it also permeates his works, choice of topics and
their processing.

Published: December 2020

Taylor Spatial Frame (TSF) better known as an external fixation product from several types of fixation devices in the orthopedic field. The Laboratory of Product Planning and Design has manufactured TSF or called OrthoLPPDUNS external fixations. The OrthoLPPDUNS design found that frame instability forming ring-strut angles caused by strut screw rotations was feeling rough due to backlash. The purpose is how to redesign an OrthoLPPDUNS with a Function Analysis System Technique (FAST). FAST method is applied at each stage of starting from the information stage to the interpretation of the results. The OrthoLPPDUNS design with the joint system uses custom components that cause weakness in frame stability. The use of standard components in joint systems can provide solutions to external fixations, although there are still weaknesses in the ring-strut angle. The OrthoLPPDUNS redesign has a better success rate in terms of stability parameters, allowing more precise bone reconstruction.
In Search of Invisible Cows
Authors: Kaarlenkaski Taija , Lonkila Annika
Published: December 2020

The notion of “invisible cows” has become popular in Finnish dairy production. This concept emerges in a very specific historical context: Increasing herd size, changing technological infrastructure in cowsheds, and the transformation of farmer identities all contribute to a need for more intensified forms of collaborative practices between humans and animals. An invisible cow is healthy, corporally compliant, obedient, easy and collaborative both in its body and behaviour. Invisible cows form a uniform herd in which individual animals require minimal care from farmers. In this paper, we explore how this new ideal is manifested on dairy farms, and how it changes the agencies of both farmers and animals and affects human-animal relationships. We examine the notions of collaboration, resistance and human-animal affection and aim to build links between these concepts. Our discussion of everyday work on dairy farms reveals the unattainability of invisibility. In various ways cattle resist their enactment as see-through members of the herd. Furthermore, invisibility can also be resisted by farmers who embrace their relations with specific animals who fail to stay invisible. Our paper contributes to a more complex understanding of the intertwinement of human and animal agencywithin dairy husbandry and argues that collaborative and resistant practices are always entangled.

Published: December 2020

This work examined the effect of Treasury Single Account (TSA) implementation on the financial performance of commercial banks in Nigeria. The study employed expo-facto survey research design and seven big commercial banks in Nigeria. First Bank of Nigeria, Zenith Bank, Access Bank, UBA, Union Bank, Diamond Bank and Fidelity Bank were judgmentally sampled for this study. Secondary data were gathered through CBN statistical bulletin from 2013 to 2017 (that is two years before and two years after implementation of TSA). Customers deposit was used as proxy for independent variable (Treasury Single Account), while profit after tax, return on equity and return on assets are proxies for dependent variable (financial performance). The data collected were analyzed using comparable mean, while research hypotheses were tested using Simple regression analysis. The findings obtained from the statistical testing of the hypotheses of this study show that customers’ deposit has a significant effect on profit after tax, return on assets and return on equity of commercial banks in Nigeria. The study recommends that Government should create enabling grounds for commercial banks to operate and be profitable to enable investors to have confidence on the economy because banks drive every economy. Commercial banks should increase their customer deposit by engaging in aggressive marketing strategy that will attract private individuals and businesses in order to increase the volume of their liquidity. Merger and acquisition should be encouraged in order to increase the capital base of banks and to make them strong and viable. Also, banks should avoid over-reliance on government deposits and focus more on other banking activities as well as investments that would help in enhancing their performance.

Factors Influencing Organic Food Purchase Intention in an Emergent Market: An Empirical Investigation of Saudi Arabia
Authors: Alshammari Eman H.
Published: December 2020

The consumption of organic food has increased owing to consumers becoming more concerned about their health. Many people have begun to realize the advantages of using organic instead of conventional food. Consumer-attitude is now the most influential factor affecting consumer purchase intention toward organic food. This study aims to identify factors influencing consumers’ attitudes and purchase intention toward organic food in the Saudi context. The data used here were collected from 147 participants by using structured questionnaires. Structural equation modelling and partial least square (SmartPLS) were used to analyze the data collection. The results show that issues relating to food quality and scepticism influence consumers’ attitudes toward organic food. Interestingly, organic food knowledge and health consciousness are not significant in influencing consumer attitudes toward organic food. Besides, none of the moderating effects were significant (e.g., food safety and price) regarding the relationship between consumer-attitude and purchase intention toward organic food. The results will help marketers and organic food retailers to understand better consumer’s behaviour, build their marketing strategy and make advantageous decisions.

A Rat in a Maze: Analysis of Violation and Flouting Of Maxims in the Television Adaptation of Margaret Atwoodâ€™s The Handmaidâ€™s Tale
Authors: Mangilaya II Vicente Mari
Published: December 2020

The influential work of H.P. Grice (1975) on Cooperative Principle has been extensively applied in both authentic and fictional contexts. Scholars in the field of pragmatics argued that non-observance of maxims lead into the creation of humor (Khosravizadeh and Sadehvandi, 2011; Jorfi and Dowlatabadi, 2015; Zeb, 2019; Kuang and Zhao, 2017) and character development (Pertiwi , 2013; Saradifa, 2020; Sembiring and Ghozalo, 2017). Built on this argument, the present study was conducted to confirm such claim by focusing on the instances of violating and flouting of maxims and the purpose it served in an intertwined context of reality and fiction in the television adaptation of Margaret Atwoodâ€™s The Handmaidâ€™s Tale. Findings revealed that characters deliberately violated and flouted the maxims in order to avoid conflict and to also highlight information, which are deemed indispensable in building the narrative. This study also found instances of violation and flouting of maxims as a product of suppression of women characters that mirror gender inequalities in many parts of the globe. Â Â Â

Authors: Olomskaya E.V. , Aksent'ev A.A.
Published: December 2020

Subject. This article discusses the methodological features of Russian Accounting Standard (PBU) 18/02 Income Tax Accounting when using the balance method to account for deferred taxes. It considers whether the clarification of permanent tax differences is justified, and it analyzes in detail the features of accounting for temporary differences and offers a visual and descriptive method for determining and correlating them in accounts.
Objectives. The article aims to justify the reason for linking permanent tax differences to such accounting categories as Income and Expenses. It also aims to develop a methodological toolkit that simplifies the perception of the balance method and demonstrates the procedure for determining temporary differences.
Methods. For the study, we used the methods of analysis, synthesis, observation, comparison, and other general scientific methods.
Results. The article justifies the clarification of permanent differences from the position of accounting categories. It offers an original approach that helps visually classify temporary differences. The formalization of the balance method helped identify the logic of its reflection in accounting statements.
Conclusions and Relevance. To ensure that accounting is not distorted due to the impact of taxation, it is necessary to develop a unified conceptual framework, as well as develop existing methods and introduce new ones that do not contradict the public concept of interaction between accounting and tax accounting. The research results are intended for training, scientific and practical activities of specialists in the field of accounting and audit, as well as students studying under this program, in order to study the features of applying the balance method for accounting for deferred taxes.
Modeling an investment process from taxation perspective under inflation
Authors: Sechenova M.V.
Published: December 2020

Subject. The article discusses a model to evaluate the performance of investment projects taking into account taxation in the context of inflation.
Objectives. The aim is to develop formal tools for investment project efficiency evaluation to unveil the impact of various taxation schemes on project performance under main types of inflation.
Methods. The study draws on methods of systems analysis, economic-mathematical modeling, financial mathematics, statistical economics, and mathematical analysis.
Results. The paper provides a detailed analysis of the impact of inflation on tax payments under various tax regimes when evaluating the investment project performance. I developed a method to calculate indicators of project performance under the main types of inflation, using an analytical model that considers tax expense under various tax treatment.
Conclusions. The analytical model enables to elaborate the generalizing record of formal tools for investment process efficiency evaluation as applied to the specifics of tax payments in the investing activity of some enterprises. Calculations of investment project efficiency in the conditions of inflation in nominal and real cash flows are not equivalent because of the existence of non-indexed taxes and amortization charges. When calculating in real prices, it is necessary to consider this adjustment.
