OBJECTIVE

Degeneration of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra projecting to the striatum is responsible for the motor symptoms in Parkinson’s disease (PD). Deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the subthalamic nucleus (STN) is a well-established procedure to alleviate these symptoms in advanced PD. Yet the mechanism of action, especially the effects of STN-DBS on the availability of striatal dopamine transporter (DAT) as a marker of nigrostriatal nerve cell function, remains largely unknown. The aim of this study was therefore to evaluate whether 1) DAT availability changes within 1 year of STN-DBS and 2) the clinical outcome can be predicted based on preoperative DAT availability.

METHODS

Twenty-seven PD patients (mean age 62.7 ± 8.9 years; mean duration of illness 13.0 ± 4.9 years; PD subtypes: akinetic-rigid, n = 11; equivalence, n = 13; and tremor-dominant, n = 3) underwent [123I]FP-CIT SPECT preoperatively and after 1 year of STN-DBS. DAT availability as determined by the specific binding ratio (SBR) was assessed by volume of interest (VOI) analysis of the caudate nucleus and the putamen ipsilateral and contralateral to the clinically more affected side.

RESULTS

Unified Parkinson’s Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) III scores improved significantly (mean preoperative on medication 25.6 ± 12.3, preoperative off medication 42.3 ± 15.2, postoperative on medication/off stimulation 41.4 ± 13.2, and postoperative on medication/on stimulation 16.1 ± 9.4; preoperative on medication vs postoperative on medication/on stimulation, p = 0.006), while the levodopa-equivalent daily dose was reduced (mean preoperative 957 ± 440 mg vs postoperative 313 ± 189 mg, p < 0.001). The SBR did not differ significantly before and 1 year after DBS, regardless of PD subtype. Preoperative DAT availability was not related to the change in UPDRS III score, but the change in DAT availability was significantly correlated with the change in UPDRS III score (contralateral head of the caudate VOI, p = 0.014; contralateral putamen VOI, p = 0.018).

CONCLUSIONS

Overall, DAT availability did not change significantly after 1 year of STN-DBS. However, on an individual basis, the improvement in UPDRS III score was associated with an increase in DAT availability, whereas DAT availability before STN-DBS surgery did not predict the clinical outcome. Whether a subtype-specific pattern of preoperative DAT availability can become a reliable predictor of successful STN-DBS must be evaluated in larger study cohorts.

Published: February 2021

OBJECTIVE

The current clinical standard of harvesting a nerve autograft for repair of long-segment peripheral nerve injuries (PNIs) is associated with many potential complications. Guidance channels offer an alternative therapy. The authors investigate whether autologous Schwann cells (SCs) implanted within a novel collagen-glycosaminoglycan conduit will improve axonal regeneration in a long-segment PNI model.

METHODS

Novel NeuraGen 3D collagen matrix conduits were implanted with autologous SCs to investigate axonal regeneration across a critical size defect (13 mm) in male Fischer rat sciatic nerve. Reversed sciatic nerve autografts served as positive controls, and conduits filled with serum only as negative controls. Electrophysiological assessments were made in vivo. Animals were killed at 4 or 16 weeks postinjury, muscle weights were measured, and grafts underwent immunohistochemical and morphometric analysis.

RESULTS

SC survival was confirmed by the presence of green fluorescent protein–labeled SCs within regenerated fibers. Regeneration and elongation of myelinated axons in all segments of the graft were significantly enhanced at 16 weeks in the SC-filled conduits compared to the conduit alone and were statistically similar to those of the autograft. Nerves repaired with SC-filled conduits exhibited onset latencies and nerve conduction amplitudes similar to those of the contralateral controls and autograft (p < 0.05). Adding SCs to the conduit also significantly reduced muscle atrophy compared to conduit alone (p < 0.0001).

CONCLUSIONS

Repair of long-segment PNI of rat sciatic nerve is significantly enhanced by SC-filled NeuraGen 3D conduits. Improvements in the total number of myelinated axons, axon diameter, and myelin thickness throughout SC-filled conduits allow for significant recovery in nerve conduction and a decrease in muscle atrophy.

OBJECTIVE

This report evaluates the outcomes of stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) as the first-line treatment of intracanalicular vestibular schwannomas (VSs).

METHODS

Between 1987 and 2017, the authors identified 209 patients who underwent SRS as the primary intervention for a unilateral intracanalicular VS. The median patient age was 54 years (range 22–85 years); 94 patients were male and 115 were female. Three patients had facial neuropathy at the time of SRS. One hundred fifty-five patients (74%) had serviceable hearing (Gardner-Robertson [GR] grades I and II) at the time of SRS. The median tumor volume was 0.17 cm3 (range 0.015–0.63 cm3). The median margin dose was 12.5 Gy (range 11.0–25.0 Gy). The median maximum dose was 24.0 Gy (range 15.7–50.0 Gy).

RESULTS

The progression-free survival rates of all patients with intracanalicular VS were 97.5% at 3 years, 95.6% at 5 years, and 92.1% at 10 years. The rates of freedom from the need for any additional intervention were 99.4% at 3 years, 98.3% at 5 years, and 98.3% at 10 years. The serviceable hearing preservation rates in GR grade I and II patients at the time of SRS were 76.6% at 3 years, 63.5% at 5 years, and 27.3% at 10 years. In univariate analysis, younger age (< 55 years, p = 0.011), better initial hearing (GR grade I, p < 0.001), and smaller tumor volumes (< 0.14 cm3, p = 0.016) were significantly associated with improved hearing preservation. In multivariate analysis, better hearing (GR grade I, p = 0.001, HR 2.869, 95% CI 1.569–5.248) and smaller tumor volumes (< 0.14 cm3, p = 0.033, HR 2.071, 95% CI 1.059–4.047) at the time of SRS were significantly associated with improved hearing preservation. The hearing preservation rates of patients with GR grade I VS were 88.1% at 3 years, 77.9% at 5 years, and 38.1% at 10 years. The hearing preservation rates of patients with VSs smaller than 0.14 cm3 were 85.5% at 3 years, 77.7% at 5 years, and 42.6% at 10 years. Facial neuropathy developed in 1.4% from 6 to 156 months after SRS.

CONCLUSIONS

SRS provided sustained tumor control in more than 90% of patients with intracanalicular VS at 10 years and freedom from the need for additional intervention in more than 98% at 10 years. Patients with initially better hearing and smaller VSs had enhanced serviceable hearing preservation during an observation interval up to 10 years after SRS.

In the current steel industry production, the detection of the mechanical properties of ferromagnetic materials relies on destructive testing, which greatly increases the cost of production. In this paper, a method is proposed to estimate the mechanical properties of ferromagnetic materials based on the pulsed eddy current (PEC) techniques. Firstly, the traditional features of the PEC signal, such as differential signal peaks and spectral amplitudes, are applied to the quantitative estimation of mechanical properties. Secondly, a method based on the empirical mode decomposition and Hilbert-Huang transform is used to extract the marginal spectral peak and marginal spectral energy as new features. Finally, BP neural network algorithm is introduced to quantitatively estimate the mechanical property parameters. The results show that the combination of both traditional and new features is suitable for mechanical properties estimation. The method has high accuracy for the quantitative estimation of mechanical performance parameters.
High-temperature electrical properties of undoped Cd1-xMnxTe (x = 0.05-0.55) crystals under cadmium vapor pressure

Published: February 2021

For the first time, the results of a study of the high-temperature electrical characteristics of undoped Cd1-xMnxTe single crystals in a wide composition range x = 0.05-0.55 are described. For this purpose, a study of Hall effect was made at the temperatures of 723–1073 K and isothermal and temperature dependences of electrical parameters were constructed. At 300 K, all the samples studied had a p-type conductivity, and Cd1-xMnxTe crystals with x = 0.02 and 0.15 had a low resistivity (102-103 Ohm×cm) while with x = 0.3 and 0.55 they had a relatively high ρ~ 107 Ohm×cm, which is due to an increase in the band gap with an increase in the MnTe content. The sample with the lowest Mn content (x = 0.02) showed the instability of the impurity-defect system during the first heating-cooling cycles: the conductivity type changed from p- to n- above 750 K and the mobility gradually increased as a result of the introduction of Cd atoms from the gas phase to the interstitial positions of the lattice. In this sample, during the first heating, the influence of donor impurities is noticeable, since the experimental line lg[e-] is significantly (~ 1-1.4 orders of magnitude) higher than that for model (undoped) CdTe, probably due to the donor behavior of Mn atoms. The crystal with the highest MnTe content (Cd0.45Mn0.55Te) also demonstrated the instability of the impurity-defect system, which was reflected in the decrease in the electrical conductivity after heat treatment at 773-873 K by almost one order of magnitude, which can be explained by a superposition of the results of the interaction of donor Cd atoms introduced from the gas phase with its native acceptor point defects (compensation) and the interaction of impurities between the matrix and Te inclusions. It has been established that a peculiarity of Cd1-xMnxTe crystals with a high content MnTe (x = 0.15, 0.55, and partially 0.3) is the inverse dependence of the carrier concentration on the cadmium vapor pressure caused by the onset of mixed conductivity of these crystals at high temperatures (T> 873 K). Accordingly, for these crystals, the value 1/RH at the moment of the onset of mixed conductivity characterizes the conditional rather than real mobility of the charge carriers. On the pressure dependences of the charge carrier concentration, the corresponding dependences are lower than the undoped CdTe (especially at low temperatures) for samples with x≥0.15 indicating that the introduction of a significant amount of MnTe (x≥0.15) leads to a decrease in the charge carrier concentration by 0.5-0.8 orders of magnitude (at ~ 773 K). This is due to the influence of Mn atoms, which form a stronger bond with Te than Cd, and therefore the generation of electrons requires more energy than in pure CdTe.
Narrar a minha experiência ou como buscar o lirismo em tempos de incertezas
Authors: Cunha Maria Amália Almeida
Published: February 2021

Este artigo, narrado em primeira pessoa, busca fazer uma meta reflexão da experiência vivida pela autora através do registro diário durante 63 dias ininterruptos durante a pandemia. A vivencia deste processo percorreu três estados, chamados pelo autora de aporia, maiêutica e epistemia. Como resultado, elege o conceito de ressonância como uma concepção fundamental da fenomenologia- ‘ser posto em um mundo’ ou ‘reencontrar-se num mundo que possui sentido para nós’. Este reencontro é percebido como o encontro do sujeito com o mundo.  Pensar, refletir, escrever, narrar e contar outras experiências de ressonância talvez seja uma das saídas possíveis diante da aporia colocada pela pandemia.

Published: February 2021

Ao tecer ‘cineconversas’, com O incrível exército de Brancaleone, três professoras ‘atualizam’ o filme que traz, de forma satírica, entre outros temas, a peste ‘negra’, na Europa. As ‘artes dos fracos’ e as ‘táticas do fazer crer’, questões pertinentes ao artigo e presentes na obra de Certeau, interessam às pesquisadoras que conversam através de experiências com o filme escolhido em função do paralelo com a Pandemia de 2020. As conversas com imagens e sons são problematizadas, a partir das ideias de Deleuze sobre cinema. O artigo possui três momentos: o primeiro traz lembranças de uma jovem (futura professora), que relembra o impacto causado pelo filme em sua estreia, em 1967, no Rio de Janeiro. A partir daí, são as reminiscências de uma professora, que usa o mesmo filme em projetos de Cinema e História, por volta dos anos 2000, que dão o tom à narrativa. Finalmente, uma terceira professora que não conhecia o filme, se propõe a assisti-lo e a pesquisar na internet matérias de divulgação e críticas, evidenciando uma prática de leitura cada vez mais frequente em nossos dias.

Authors: De Souza Maria Antônia , Pereira Maria de Fátima Rodrigues , Fontana Maria Iolanda
Published: February 2021

Este trabalho resulta da pesquisa com narrativas coletivas de professores que trabalham predominantemente em escolas rurais na Região Metropolitana de Curitiba. O objetivo é compreender a política de ensino remoto e suas condições de realização no contexto rural. Tem como referência teórico-metodológica a pesquisa com narrativas e a compreensão de que o contexto da pandemia evidencia as desigualdades sociais no país, em particular nos territórios rurais.  A precariedade de sinais de Internet/telefônicos no campo, condições das estradas, baixa densidade demográfica e condições socioeconômicas comprovam diferenças regionais e territoriais. As narrativas são construídas por oito professores colaboradores, mediante diálogo em grupo coletivo constituído na plataforma do WhatsApp. Duas questões são lançadas para provocar as narrativas: política local e a condições de trabalho dos professores no contexto do distanciamento social. As narrativas indicam a sobrecarga de trabalho de professor, sendo a maior parte atividade mecânica que esgota e deprime. Embora os professores estejam no centro do trabalho pedagógico remoto eles enfrentam perda de direitos e um discurso político-pedagógico que coloca a tecnologia educacional no centro do cenário, que secundariza o trabalho e o esforço empreendido por eles.

O presente artigo traz uma análise da influência da atual situação de pandemia na elaboração de minha dissertação de mestrado. Realizado pelo método biográfico, aquele relato parte de minhas lembranças e de registos pessoais, demonstrando como tempo, ambiente e culturas atuam no desenvolvimento do ser humano. Assumindo duplo olhar de espectadora e especialista, a partir da análise dos conteúdos da narrativa, vistos, agora, sob a presença revelada da morte, voltei à questão formulada inicialmente, ao pensar de que modo é possível encontrar, no passado, um sentido vivificador para um futuro possível, em Educação. Percebi, ao final, o fio condutor que, interligando fatos, sentimentos e conhecimentos acumulados, aponta para um processo infinito de trocas experienciais, herança comum a todos os seres humanos.
Histórias de vida de imigrantes portugueses no Rio de Janeiro
Authors: Santos Miriam Oliveira
Published: February 2021

Desde que Thomas e Zanieck escreveram seu famoso trabalho utilizando cartas de imigrantes poloneses, a Antropologia se debruça sobre os pequenos registros da vida cotidiana: cartas, diários e até mesmo cardápios e receitas. No Brasil, várias famílias pagaram pela publicação de livros com a história de vida dos seus avós ou bisavós. No entanto, podemos observar que essa é uma produção extremamente concentrada em algumas etnias: alemães e judeus, sobretudo. Por outro lado, apesar de serem a maioria dos imigrantes históricos entrados no Brasil, portugueses e espanhóis possuem pouquíssimas biografias publicadas. Nos últimos anos, com a popularização da história oral, vários depoimentos foram gravados e, especialmente no caso dos imigrantes, as entrevistas aconteciam com os mais idosos, buscando resolver também as lacunas deixadas pelo fato dos imigrantes de algumas nacionalidades terem chegado ao Brasil em grupos onde predominavam os analfabetos ou semialfabetizados. Neste artigo buscamos analisar algumas histórias de vida de imigrantes portugueses estabelecidos na zona rural da cidade do Rio de Janeiro.
Narrativas de estudantes, filhos de catadores de materiais recicláveis, suas famílias e as relações estabelecidas

Published: February 2021

Uma questão recorrente no contexto escolar é a indagação de como a escola lida com os estudantes advindos da classe popular, em especial os pertencentes ao grupo de catadores de material reciclável, já que a própria estrutura histórica, social e cultural dessa instituição apresenta-se como exclusão para o grupo. O presente artigo tem como objetivo geral compreender a partir do olhar dos estudantes, filhos de catadores de material reciclável, o grupo familiar e as relações estabelecidas nesse núcleo. Participaram deste trabalho 65 estudantes do 4º ano do Ensino Fundamental, com média de idade de 10,75 anos (35 meninas; 30 meninos), sendo 36 residentes na ocupação Santa Luzia, e 29 na Região Administrativa Estrutural, do Distrito Federal. A trajetória da pesquisa foi sendo constituída a partir do método autoecobiográfico que envolveu a participação nas oficinas autoecobiográficas, a observação participante e as entrevistas semiestruturadas. Ao articular as estratégias para a constituição das narrativas foi-se ao encontro da análise interpretativa das fontes biográficas. Pode-se inferir que a família para esses estudantes é um território das relações afetivas, onde o trabalho e a vida se entrelaçam e definem papéis e estratégias de sobrevivência.Palavras-chaves: Estudantes filhos de catadores de material reciclável.

A permission-dependent type system for secure information flow analysis
Authors: Xu Zhiwu , Chen Hongxu , Tiu Alwen , Liu Yang , Sareen Kunal
Published: February 2021

We introduce a novel type system for enforcing secure information flow in an imperative language. Our work is motivated by the problem of statically checking potential information leakage in Android applications. To this end, we design a lightweight type system featuring Android permission model, where the permissions are statically assigned to applications and are used to enforce access control in the applications. We take inspiration from a type system by Banerjee and Naumann to allow security types to be dependent on the permissions of the applications. A novel feature of our type system is a typing rule for conditional branching induced by permission testing, which introduces a merging operator on security types, allowing more precise security policies to be enforced. The soundness of our type system is proved with respect to non-interference. A type inference algorithm is also presented for the underlying security type system, by reducing the inference problem to a constraint solving problem in the lattice of security types. In addition, a new way to represent our security types as reduced ordered binary decision diagrams is proposed.

Authors: Wang Caichuan , Li Jiajun
Published: February 2021

The decision on the investment project is to analyze the feasibility and rationality of the project plan from multiple angles. However, due to the limitations of the actual project investment decision-making, this paper proposes a group decision making method based multifunctional intuitively fuzzy VIKOR interval sets. Firstly, according to the established investment decision-making model, the first round of preliminary candidate project schemes is selected. According to the definition of interval intuitionistic fuzzy sets and the traditional VIKOR method, established the research method of this article, and the project investment decision-making model based on VIKOR interval intuitionistic fuzzy sets is established. Finally, the project schemes are sorted according to the closeness degree of schemes. The results show that when sorting each candidate by Qi value, A4 > A3 > A2 > A1 can be obtained. Because Q4 = 0, Q3 = 0.31, the condition q3-q4 > 0.25 is satisfied. It is concluded that the method can not only meet the needs of actual decision-making, but also has strong operability and practicability. The research results have reference value and guiding significance for project investment decision-making, and can promote the sustainable development of the project.
Mathematical modeling on workplace violence hazard assessment and security analysis using Optimized Grey Dynamic System Theory
Authors: Fu Hui , Zhang Yahong , Subbareddy Rama , Vadivel Thanjai
Published: February 2021

BACKGROUND: Employers must provide their workers with a safe working environment. Violence at the workplace is considered to pose risks for mental health. However, it is rarely investigated whether or not violence at the workplace in a setting can further increase the risk of mental disorders among employees. Risk assessment of workplace violence is still a major challenge for law enforcement, mental health, and other professionals. These critical and specific evaluations need an innovative approach. OBJECTIVES: In this paper, the Optimized Grey Dynamic System Theory (OGDST) is used to analyze work-related incidents and hazard assessment. The forecasting model is built using annual data sets of work-related incidents. RESULTS: Research shows that aggressive psychological behavior often precedes the physical abuse of the workplace, whereas employers often ignore signs of warning even when identified by employees. Effectiveness tests demonstrate the efficiency of these suggested models. CONCLUSION: The results convey information supporting the conceptualization and assessment of models of workplace violence as a phenomenon arising from negative physical and psychological experiences of individuals at the workplace.

Published: February 2021

This article aims to describe the development of the teaching–learning process of Foreign Language, with the use of the CLIL (Integrated Content and Language Teaching) approach in the teaching of English, within the framework of a Bilingual Program, within an emergency context of Remote Teaching. We also seek to reflect on the adequacy of technological tools in the process of teaching Foreign Language – specifically the English Language – for a certain age group, as well as to evaluate the elaboration and adaptation of materials, activities and pedagogical approaches to the reality of Remote Teaching during the period of isolation. For this reflection, our analysis aims to point out possibilities and limitations, both of the CLIL (Integrated Teaching of Content and Language) approach, as well as of the modality of distance learning for the age group observed. Thus, in addition to presenting what was accomplished during the research, we intend to reflect on possible paths and contribute with good practices that make the English Language Teaching process more meaningful and proficient, within the Modality Of Distance Education (EaD).We defend in this research the search for strategies in a digital format, for a Foreign Language Teaching, which develops in a more natural and motivating way, as well as the need for public policies aimed at a post-pandemic education of COVID-19, in the sense of ludicity and inclusion, aiming at the development of skills and skills of the student, from elementary school, transforming information into knowledge.
Interspecific sexual selection, a new theory for an old practice: the increase of artificial biodiversity through creation of modern, standardized breeds
Authors: Negro J. J. , Blázquez M. C. , Fernández-Alés R. , Martín-Vicente A.
Published: February 2021

Darwin set the pillars of organismic evolution when he defined natural and sexual selection in the 19th century. Concurrently, a frenzy of selective breeding programmes, generally supported by the wealthy and aristocratic, gave rise to novel breeds of plants and animals at a rate that was previously unforeseen. Since then, breeds selected over millennia and adapted to local conditions began to disappear or were threatened with extinction, being substituted by these new, standardized breeds. It is of interest to explore how new breeds emerged and what the main criteria of the founders of these breeds were. Darwin seemed to be unaware that his contemporaries were practicing a form of interspecific sexual selection responsible for the fixation of exaggerated traits, often plainly ornamental, in the new breeds they intended to create. Parent animals were chosen by individuals who were following particular goals, often with aesthetic criteria in mind. Here we investigated who were the founders of modern breeds in five domesticated species (dogs, cats, pigs, horses and cattle), as very often a single person is credited with the creation of a breed. We found information on founders of 459 breeds, 270 of which were created after 1800. Interestingly, for these species, breed creation is overwhelmingly attributed to men. In the wild, however, the choice of mate is usually performed by the female of a species and thought to be adaptive. Breeders in the Victorian era, nevertheless, lacked such adaptive skills and had little scientific knowledge. The selection of individuals with an extreme expression of the desired traits were often close relatives, resulting in high inbreeding and a variety of genetic disorders.

Prevalensi Diabetes Melitus (DM) dari tahun ke tahun semakin meningkat. DM adalah ditandai dengan hiperglikemia dan intoleransi glukosa yang terjadi karena kelenjar pankreas tidak dapat memproduksi insulin secara adekuat atau karena tubuh tidak dapat menggunakan insulin yang diproduksi secara efektif atau kedua-duanya. Pada penderita DM, aterosklerosis menyumbang hampir 80% dari semua kematian. Pada penderita DM terjadi disfungsi dari trombosit. Trombosit berperan dalam proses hemostasis dan memiliki peran penting dalam aterosklerosis dan trombosis arteri. Rata-rata Volume trombosit atau dikenal dengan Mean Platelet Volume (MPV) adalah penanda fungsi dan aktivasi trombosit. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk melihat adanya hubungan antara MPV dengan HbA1C dan profil lipid pada penderita DM. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian cross sectional terhadap data rekam medik di Rumah Sakit Umum Daerah Pasar Rebo dengan sampel sebanyak 300 pasien. Data diperoleh dari bulan Januari 2014 sampai Desember 2015. Data dianalisis dengan menggunakan bantuan SPSS 22.0 dengan metode uji regresi linear ganda. Hasil uji statistik yang diperoleh menunjukkan tidak terdapat hubungan yang signifikan antara MPV dengan profil lipid dan glukosa pp (p>0,05) tetapi terdapat hubungan yang signifikan antara MPV dengan HbA1C dan glukosa puasa (p<0.05) pada penderita DM.

Prevalensi penyalahgunaan narkoba telah meningkat secara global. Penyalahgunaan obat ini dapat menjadi permasalahan kesehatan masyarakat karena dampaknya bagi kesehatan umum dan rongga mulut, seperti periodontitis kronis. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengevaluasi hubungan perilaku kesehatan rongga mulut, yang terdiri dari kebersihan mulut, frekuensi menyikat gigi, dan riwayat kunjungan ke dokter gigi, terhadap kejadian periodontitis kronis pada pengguna narkoba. Desain penelitian ini merupakan penelitian observasional dengan desain cross sectional. Pengambilan sampel dilakukan secara acak dengan jumlah sampel sebanyak 147 orang. Analisis data menggunakan uji chi-square. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan terdapat hubungan antara kebersihan mulut (p-value 0,000; OR = 96,84 ; 95% CI 21,58-434,66) dan frekuensi sikat gigi (p-value 0,035; OR = 8,39 ; 95% CI 1,08-65,55) dengan kejadian periodontitis kronis pada pengguna narkoba. Namun tidak terdapat hubungan antara riwayat kunjungan ke dokter gigi dengan kejadian periodontitis kronis pada pengguna narkoba (p-value 0,127; OR = 1,84 ; 95% CI 0,91-3,72). Kebersihan mulut dan frekuensi menyikat gigi memiliki hubungan dengan kejadian periodontitis kronis pada pengguna narkoba yang disebabkan karena pengguna narkoba cenderung mengabaikan kesehatan mulut dan tidak menyikat giginya secara rutin yang mengakibatkan terjadinya akumulasi plak dan meskipun riwayat kunjungan ke dokter gigi tidak berhubungan, namun penting dilakukan untuk menjaga kesehatan rongga mulut yang baik.

«Ki ore irat od Loovis»: La vocazione dei cavalieri francesi alla Crociata. Per una lettura di RS 1548
Authors: Radaelli Anna
Published: February 2021

Abstract: The contribution is devoted to the anonymous song «Chevalier mult estes guariz» (RS 1548a), transcribed during the second half of the twelfth century on f. 88 of the composite codex Erfurt, Universitätsbibliothek, Dep. Erf. Codex Amplonianus 8° 32. The jointed transmission of text and music for a lyrical form with refrain and responsorial structure makes this crusading song—the earliest extant exemplar in Old French—an outstanding witness. The contribution highlights the leading role played by the musical execution, underlined
by the rewriting of the refrain last line with an extra-neume entered above the text possibly serving the practical purposes of the reader-singer.

Keywords: Old French Lyric, Crusades, Early Music Writing, Anglo-Norman Literature.

Dari hasil analisa dan pembahasan didapatkan kesimpulan bahwa Pasal 27 ayat 2 Perppu ini telah sesuai secara legalitas, proporsionalitas dan konstitusionalitas sehingga tidak bertentangan dengan konstitusi di Indonesia. Hasil pembahasan ini diharapkan dapat menjadi pedoman dan pembanding bagi masyarakat dan sarjana hukum dalam menilai konstitusional atau tidaknya isi ketentuan imunitas pada Undang-Undang Nomor 2 Tahun 2020 yang menetapkan Perppu tersebut menjadi UU.

In Italy, starting from 2015, the date of publication of the guidelines on the 2014-2020 Digital Growth Strategy, technological evolution in medicine has provided encouraging results. The term telemedicine is now in common use, and it is also indicated at an encyclopedic level as “the set of technical and health care monitoring tools, created through systems designed to provide quick access to both medical specialists and patients, regardless of the place where they are respectively located”. Nowadays, in the COVID era, the need for social distancing has highlighted the contribution of digital technology to healthcare in terms of access to care and healthcare spending. With regard to chronic kidney disease, telemedicine has always proved essential in improving patients’ quality of life, as in the case of peritoneal dialysis. The remote management and monitoring of patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis has not only proved to radically change and improve patients’ quality of life in replacement therapy, but has also reduced costs. There are some situations in which telemonitoring can guarantee the maintenance of an adequate quality of life for patients in the different stages of the disease. Thanks to the constant commitment of some groups of professionals where the largest part is represented by the “pink quota”, it was possible to experiment and implement evaluation protocols for the renal patient in conservative and replacement treatment in some of the most central aspects of care: medical and dietary therapy.
