A Study to Assess the Effects of Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation of Trunk In Improving Trunk Balance of Patients with Stroke
Authors: Manjula S
Published: November 2020

Stroke is a complex pathology with many clinical presentations with unique impairments and activity limitations. Physiotherapy has a massive impact on quality of life of a stroke survivor. Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) is a rehabilitation technique used to stimulate the neuromuscular system in an effort to excite proprioceptors (sensory organs in muscles, tendons, bones, and joints) in order to produce a desired movement. It has a greater impact on trunk control. The aim of the study is to evaluate the effect of proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation of trunk in improving balance of trunk in stroke patients. Twenty stroke patients within the age between 60 to 70 years, were recruited for study. All patients were assigned proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation of trunk for 4 weeks. Pre and post test scores were analysed. Inclusion criteria are patients with 60-70 years of age of both the genders with stroke duration of at least 6 months. Exclusion criteria  are recurrent stroke with severe spasticity, perceptual disorders and uncorrected vision problems, any symptomatic cardiac failure, patients with other neurological disorders or musculoskeletal problems, impaired cognitive function. Both pre-test and post-test measures were analysed statistically using the data analysis computed with SPSS. The outcome measures used is TIS. Statistical analysis showed significant improvement in trunk balance after the treatment of proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation of trunk for 4 weeks in stroke patients. Result showed significant improvement in the PNF treatment in trunk balance after the treatment of proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation of trunk. The study concluded that the trunk balance can be improved in stroke patients after performing the proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation of trunk for 4 weeks.

Authors: Amin Mir M  , Muhammad Waqar Ashraf  , Maythem Mahmud
Published: November 2020

Solid lipid microparticles reach the site of its action in a controlled rate and do show controlled release for a better therapeutic result. A good drug carrying and release system involve a controlled drug delivery that improves bioavailability, to enrich stability and to minimise the toxic effects followed with a targeted drug at the site of its action. The solid lipid microparticles of curcumin were prepared in a view to achieving high permeability of curcumin in the brain through blood-brain-barrier. The lipid microsphere solids were prepared by hot melts microencapsulation technique to formulate solid lipid microspheres. Twelve lipid formulations were prepared with varying concentration of surfactants (span 40, span 70, span 90 and Tween 100). The developed formulation was subjected to various parameters such as the particle size, % entrapment efficiencies, yield productions, % cumulative release, percentage yield and drug loading, based upon highest entrapment efficiency, drug release and % cumulative release, the F3 formulation was considered as the best formulation. The prepared microsphere was subjected to different evaluation parameters such as thin-layer chromatography, melting point, FTIR, solubility, compatibility study and In-vitro drug release. The developed formulation shows spherical and smooth surface. The percentage release of drug F3 formulation has been found highest of about 86.23% after 12 hr.

Cancer is the most dreadful of all the diseases and is the major contributors to the mortality in the world. Out of all the population, almost 1.2 million patients die due to cancer and related problems. The rate and spread of cancer are wide and even in both women and men. It is presently as high as 3.5 million people who have cancer in India alone. There are many ways of treatment of cancer like the surgery, radiation therapy, cryosurgery and chemotherapy. A part of chemotherapy is the usage of a lot of chemicals and synthetic drugs. Due to the side effects of chemotherapy, patients often get symptoms due to the usage of drugs, and so the cancer treatment often is toxic. Because of this, herbal drugs are seemed to have no side effects, and non-toxic effects, and so this project deals with identifying the plant sources of the drugs that treat cancers effectively. The present study focusses on the extraction of the chemical constituents from Lepidagathis pungens whole  plant and using the same to estimate the anti-tumour potential in EAC induced tumour induction method. The activity was tested in two doses 200 and 400 mg/kg of the extract. They showed a dose-dependent activity when estimated for the tumour parameters and other haematological measures like RBC, WBC counts. They showed similar activity when estimated for the antioxidant enzymes like SGOT, SGPT, Catalases, LPO and ALP levels.

Reflexões sobre a potencialidade da inserção da História das Ciências no ensino de Ciências através da temática da Revolução Científica
Authors: Soares Cintia Mendonça , Alvim Marcia Helena
Published: November 2020

Neste artigo iremos refletir acerca da potencialidade do diálogo entre a História das Ciências e o ensino de ciências, através de análise da temática da Revolução Científica dos séculos XVII-XVIII, abordada em aspectos historiográficos e conceituais, visando promover uma educação científica problematizadora e crítica, distanciada da proposta de educação bancária teorizada por Paulo Freire. Buscando alcançar nosso objetivo expresso acima, o estudo aborda diferentes narrativas historiográficas sobre a Revolução Científica, bem como valoriza a proposta de compreensão de justaposição conceitual entre o aristotelismo e a nova ciência da modernidade. A metodologia da pesquisa, de abordagem qualitativa a partir de análise bibliográfica, se apoia na discussão teórica de estudos relacionados à interface da História das Ciências e o ensino e a discussão historiográfica sobre a Revolução Científica e sobre o aristotelismo presente naquele contexto, como forma de fundamentar nossas reflexões sobre o potencial da História das Ciências no ensino de ciências. Consideramos que esta abordagem, ao apresentar o desenvolvimento científico como um processo complexo e dialógico às demandas socioculturais, favorece uma educação em ciências crítica e problematizadora.

Authors: Santos Diorleno , Sedano Luciana
Published: November 2020

Objetivamos com este trabalho analisar, a partir dos anais do Encontro Nacional de Pesquisa em Educação em Ciências (ENPEC) e de principais periódicos brasileiros, o que as pesquisas têm discutido sobre a argumentação nas aulas de Ciências do Ensino Fundamental (EF). Para identificar os trabalhos, buscaram-se títulos, resumos e palavras-chave, utilizando os descritores: “argumentação” e “interações discursivas”. Foram encontrados 115 artigos relacionados à argumentação, desse número, apenas 23 artigos versam sobre argumentação no contexto do EF. Observou-se que a maioria dos trabalhos utiliza o padrão proposto por Toulmin para análise argumentativa. A utilização de abordagens didáticas investigativas e de estratégias de comunicação oral se destaca como possibilidades para o desenvolvimento da argumentação em sala de aula. Salienta-se a importância de um ensino de Ciências que esteja preocupado não só com o engajamento dos estudantes no entendimento de conceitos e termos científicos, mas também com as interações dialógicas que ocorrem em sala de aula e que contribuem para a construção do processo argumentativo e, consequentemente, a aprendizagem em Ciências.

DETECTING EARNINGS MANAGEMENT INVESTIGATION ON DIFFERENT MODELS MEASURING EARNINGS MANAGEMENT FOR EMERGING EASTERN EUROPEAN COUNTRIES
Authors: Callao Susana , Jarne José I. , Wróblewski David
Published: November 2020

Earnings management has received considerable attention as numerous papers were investigated different hypotheses. However, there is still no consensus on how efficiently detect and measure earnings managements. Nevertheless, most authors use methodology based on accruals, sophisticated models that attempt to separate total accruals into discretionary and nondiscretionary components. We may find wide range of use of alternative models to measure earnings management. Nevertheless, the researchers typically used five the most popular models: the Jones (1991) model, the modified Jones model (Dechow, Sloan, and Sweeney, 1995), Teoh, Welch and Wong (1998) model, Kasznik (1999) model and Kothari et al. (2005) model. However, it is confirmed that the environment where the company is operating influences on the earnings management. Therefore, we focus our study on the growing market of the developing European countries. In particular, our analysis comprises four different and independent samples from emerging Eastern European countries: Poland, Hungary, Slovakia and the Czech Republic, since earnings management in Eastern European countries is still barely explored. Consequently, our objective is to evaluate the ability of the existing models on earnings management for the environment of countries from the East of Europe. Our results confirm that the Jones (1991), Shivakumar (1996), Kasznik (1999) and Yoon and Miller model (2002) offers the most reliable results for detecting earnings management in emerging Eastern European post-communism economic environment. Additionally, based on broad analyses the results indicate that there is no superiority of the cross-sectional models vis-à-vis their time-series counterparts. Both methodologies are consistent in detecting earnings management for Eastern European companies. Therefore, we verified the importance of the previous evaluation of the ability of each model for detecting earnings management before its application. It is because each economic environment has different peculiarities and circumstances, as observed in case of our developing European countries.

Authors: Lenin K.
Published: November 2020

This paper proposes Group Competition (GC) algorithm for solving optimal reactive power problem. Group Competition (GC) algorithm stimulated from the contest of sport teams in a sport group. A number of individuals as sport teams contend in a simulated group for numerous weeks. Based on the group schedule in every week, teams play in pairs and their game result is determined in terms of win or loss, given known the playing strength along with the teams’ planned formations. Modeling an artificial match analysis, each team devises a new playing strategy for the subsequent week competition and this procedure is repetitive for number of seasons. In order to evaluate the validity of the proposed Group Competition (GC) algorithm, it has been tested on Standard IEEE 57,118 bus systems and simulation results reveal about the good performance of the proposed algorithm in reducing real power loss and voltage profiles are within the limits.
A NOVEL HYBRIDIZED ALGORITHM FOR REDUCTION OF REAL POWER LOSS
Authors: Lenin K.
Published: November 2020

This paper proposes Hybridization of Gravitational Search algorithm with Simulated Annealing algorithm (HGS) for solving optimal reactive power problem. Individual position modernize strategy in Gravitational Search Algorithm (GSA) may cause damage to the individual position and also the local search capability of GSA is very weak. The new HGS algorithm introduced the idea of Simulated Annealing (SA) into Gravitational Search Algorithm (GSA), which took the Metropolis-principle-based individual position modernize strategy to perk up the particle moves, & after the operation of gravitation, Simulated Annealing operation has been applied to the optimal individual. In order to evaluate the efficiency of the proposed Hybridization of Gravitational Search algorithm with Simulated Annealing algorithm (HGS), it has been tested on standard IEEE 118 & practical 191 bus test systems and compared to the standard reported algorithms. Simulation results show that HGS is superior to other algorithms in reducing the real power loss and voltage profiles also within the limits.

Sonlêncio: Modulações da Experiência de Silêncio na Cultura Aural Contemporânea
Authors: Pereira Vinicius Andrade
Published: November 2020

Ao considerar a quantidade de autores que exploram a problemática silêncio X ruídos hoje, é possível afirmar que o mundo teria se tornado mais barulhento e cacofônico. Frente a essa possibilidade, surgem questões tais como: como compreender os significados e valores do silêncio na contemporaneidade? Seria o silêncio um objeto legítimo para o campo de Estudos do Som e da Comunicação? Pode a escuta do silêncio ser um aprendizado tal com é a escuta de outros sons? É em busca de encaminhamentos para essas perguntas que o presente artigo se constrói, passando em revista boa parte da literatura, assim como práticas de consumo, tecnologias e materiais que tomam o silêncio como foco de suas ações. O estudo aqui apresentado propõe o termo “sonlêncio” como uma experiência silenciadora que se apresenta como uma importante modulação do silêncio na contemporaneidade que abre vias para se pensar, por fim, a cultura aural hodierna.
Ambiguidades no discurso fotográfico: produção de sentido sobre a degradação do solo
Authors: Silva Marcelo Pereira da , Maio Ana Maria Dantas de
Published: November 2020

Com base em arcabouço teórico-metodológico que envolve os estudos do discurso e de imagem, analisa-se uma fotografia publicada em 2019, pelo Portal G1, que ilustra uma matéria sobre os efeitos da erosão do solo sobre a produção agrícola. Depreendem-se alguns sentidos pregnantes na enunciação imagética, considerando que as fotografias contribuem para informar, dão mais ênfase às reportagens e desempenham funções estéticas. Constituem sentidos que podem  corroborar estereótipos e reificações acerca do universo rural, suas identidades e idiossincrasias. Infere-se, com este estudo, que o discurso fotográfico apresenta ambiguidade ao retratar um conteúdo que permite dupla leitura. A condução pela interpretação da ideia de desertificação se dá pelo elemento verbal da legenda. Como fotografias não transmitem conceitos abstratos, cabe ao interlocutor atribuir sentidos que se conectem ao seu repertório, num ato de reforço ou contradição à intencionalidade dos sujeitos enunciadores.
O pensamento ecológico na cobertura jornalística brasileira: o caso da Baía de Guanabara
Authors: Misse Filho Michel , Loose Eloisa Beling
Published: November 2020

A proposta deste artigo é investigar como as diferentes correntes ou abordagens do pensamento ecológico apresentam-se na cobertura jornalística de O Globo sobre a poluição da Baía de Guanabara, importante elemento ambiental da antiga capital federal, transformada com o avanço da urbanização da Região Metropolitana do Rio de Janeiro. A partir de uma pesquisa documental de viés quali-quantitativo, verifica-se a transmutação da cobertura das questões ambientais da baía na segunda metade do século XX, acompanhando o movimento ambientalista e a própria consolidação do jornalismo ambiental no Brasil. Identificamos a migração de uma cobertura sustentada na beleza natural, típica dos primórdios do jornalismo ambiental, para uma abordagem que considere aspectos mais complexos relacionados à poluição, alinhada com a transversalidade da pauta e com a reivindicação dos movimentos ambientalistas mais contemporâneos por justiça ambiental.
Os paradoxos da Comunicação ante o Antropoceno
Authors: Melo da Silva Dayana K. , Souza Aguiar Carlos Eduardo
Published: November 2020

O Antropoceno define a presente época da história geológica da Terra, na qual a superfície terrestre foi transformada pela ação humana. O termo também sugere uma convergência entre a história natural do planeta e a história social da humanidade. Inseridas nesse novo cenário, a Comunicação e as suas tecnologias se veem diante de complexos paradoxos. Ora essas tecnologias atuam na construção de uma consciência ecológica planetária, ao inaugurar novas possibilidades comunicativas, ampliando narrativas e articulando redes de identificação e solidariedade, ora elas intensificam a devastação do planeta por meio dos processos de produção, funcionamento e descarte de dispositivos midiáticos, cujo aspecto material não pode ser ignorado.
Por Um Cinema Geológico: visibilidades possíveis para os tempos da Terra
Authors: Monteiro Lúcia Ramos
Published: November 2020

Este artigo estabelece as bases do que seria o "cinema geológico". Formulado no estudo de realizações recentes no âmbito do cinema independente e sem objetivar a definição de um movimento estético estruturado, o conceito descreve, antes, as uma modalidade de olhar para um conjunto de filmes com características comuns. No cinema geológico, dinâmicas envolvendo a geosfera, a litosfera e a atmosfera, situadas no fundo da imagem, disputam, na duração dilatada de alguns planos e, em certos casos, dos próprios filmes, a atenção do espectador. Desse modo, as tramas narrativas protagonizadas por personagens, inscritos enquanto figuras no primeiro plano, tornam-se secundárias. Aqui, essas questões serão estudadas no cotejo com alguns filmes do realizador chinês Jia Zhang-ke.
O quase-documentário: Entrevista entre Jeff Wall e Jean-François Chevrier
Authors: Wall Jeff , Chevrier Jean-François
Published: November 2020

Jeff Wall, um dos grandes nomes atuais da fotografia, conversou em 2001 com Jean-François Chevrier, que recebeu três de suas obras para a exposição Des territoires. Organizada no âmbito do seminário de mesmo título que o historiador francês ministrava na École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts, a ocasião serviu de oportunidade para que os dois conversassem sobre um, ou alguns, termos com os quais o próprio Wall organiza seu corpo de trabalho. No caso, o título e questão principal é sobre um nome que carrega em si o exercício de pensar uma imprecisão: Citizen (1996), A Villager from Aricaköyü arriving in Mahmutbey-Istanbul, September, 1997 (1997) e Man with a Rifle (2000) quase são aquilo que parecem ser, registros documentais. Mas, ao trazerem essa distância tão pequena – e específica - em evidência, centram o debate no que concerne às certezas que construímos sobre fotografias.

The policy feedback literature highlights that the design of public policies can affect recipients’ experience of those policies and programs. In this paper, we examine the largely unexplored distributional implications of market-based early childhood education and care (ECEC) services. We present the results of a quasi-behavioral conjoint survey of 606 parents in the City of Toronto. Grouping parent respondents by income and access to public subsidies, we find evidence that access to public subsidies influences the ECEC preferences of lower income parents. We explore these findings with respect to how non-subsidized lower income parents experience the market for ECEC. We find evidence that non-subsidized lower income parents are more cost-conscious; this is likely to result in their using less well-regulated ECEC that is more variable in quality. In turning to less well-regulated care, the burden of performing oversight and quality assessments falls on these parents. However, our study finds that lower income non-subsidized parents report the least engagement with learning about ECEC, suggesting that they are likely to be the least able to effectively monitor their children’s care arrangements. We explore the implications of these findings regarding the effects of policy on vulnerable children’s access to high quality ECEC services.
